Osborne Megacorp

"Osborne will not tell you that Osborne is your home. In fact, Osborne is mine."

Harry's blunt words made the students in the audience laugh.

It's just that these students have a very special identity - they are not college students, most of them are adults whose families have experienced changes during this economic crisis. Their past occupations may have been construction workers, assembly line workers, carpenters or other similar occupations.

Osborne's automation technology is already quite mature, and these traditional types of work will definitely be eliminated. However, considering their huge number, if these people are not properly handled, it will cause great social unrest.

"I like to tell the truth. But it's also true that you get paid enough at Osborne to have a happy family."

"And to put it bluntly, the United States and the earth are your home. Osborne provides you with tools and opportunities, but building and transforming your own home is something you should do with your own hands."

"That's why Osborne has opened this kind of school. After simple training, you will use a new generation of engineering robots to complete the heavy labor work for you."

The establishment of this new era of technical schools was approved and promoted by the president, Norman Osborne, and was very efficient.

In fact, these robots can complete engineering construction without human operation, but limited by the actual situation, Harry can only promote the castrated version of the engineering robot first.

In a sense, cutting-edge technology is now feeding these embarrassing people, and this is the solution proposed by Norman.

Harry thinks there is no problem with this - this kind of people, as the grassroots of society, feed the upper class, and it is obviously unrealistic to abandon them now. It is safer to let them through this transition period with the advanced technological feedback from the upper class.

In fact, Osborne's almost fully automated building construction in New York made many people uneasy at first. Until the completion of Osborne's Fortress, there were even unemployed people who took to the streets to protest.

So Norman took action, and through negotiation and compromise, it finally evolved into what it is now.

There are still some people who are on the sidelines, but the first batch of engineers will soon enjoy the benefits, and they will naturally flock in by then.

"In the next few years, officials plan to build an infrastructure network with a coverage rate of more than 98% across the United States, including transportation roads and information transmission projects."

"But the population of this country is only about [-] million. How to complete this task? Of course it will be left to you engineers."

"You are the Hephaestus of the new era - the pioneer craftsman, everyone."

As soon as he said this, someone below made a joke in Greek-flavored English: "Then my wife should be so happy!"

In mythology, the god kings Zeus and Hera personally arranged the marriage between Hephaestus and the goddess of love, Aphrodite. However, obviously not many people here knew about these mythological allusions, so he could only sit back in frustration.

"I don't think so, my wife will definitely complain to death." Someone said.

There is some truth in what this person said - many places where major infrastructure projects are being built are in remote areas, and such projects can take dozens of months, which is obviously not a good thing for families.

But technology changes life. Harry continued: "I understand your concerns - I obviously work in municipal administration, but now I have to go to remote areas to build infrastructure. Isn't this a downgrade of life?"

"First of all - I'm not lying to you, it's the truth.

But with the help of these engineering robots, you no longer have to work in person for a long time, and theoretically the construction period will be reduced exponentially.

And you can all have your own room in the construction area - about 110 square meters, and you can bring your family with you. "

Everyone looked at each other, Harry smiled, and continued to play the ideal construction situation.

Because of construction robots, there is no need to crowd a large number of laborers on a construction site, and only a team of 30 people can be responsible for the operation of a small project.

Because the required labor is reduced, the space planned for the accommodation area has also become looser. Using modular and automated construction methods, the residential area can easily build a small community that supports 30 families.

As for the land issue, this is a national project supervised by the president, and they can get a lot of space to build housing - as a subsidy for infrastructure projects.

Another guy in ragged clothes raised his hand - he was almost out of a house to live in due to unemployment, and this move was definitely a good thing for his family.

But there's another problem: "But my daughter is still in high school."

"Well, Mr. President has also thought about it for you. Your team will have a teacher with a high school teaching certificate who will be responsible for the education of your children."

"And there will be many courses open to you on Osborne's network, and you can choose freely."

"If you are interested, you can even find Dr. Otto's electromagnetics course - sometimes he will use this platform to broadcast live, but not everyone can understand it."

The gap between the upper and lower limits of middle school education in the United States is relatively large, but Harry has given them enough choices.

Osborne Online Academy has been gradually promoted. In addition to heavyweight professors like Dr. Otto and Dr. Connors, they will also find some other famous professors to teach from time to time.

Of course, you still need to apply for college by yourself, but because of Osborne and Stark's relationship with many well-known universities, the authority of the online college is also endorsed.

In short, the environment where these construction teams are located is equivalent to a relatively remote community, and there is no difference other than that.

With the expansion of infrastructure projects, transportation will become more and more developed, and the network will get better and better. Even in the next stage, when neural connection technology matures, they can even complete immersive learning while lying on a chair.

The resources accumulated by "mega cities" will be dispersed and the functions they undertake will be reduced. They will be replaced by the development of many small villages. When the population is evenly dispersed to every corner of the country, they will find their own survival How vast is the space?

When the next generation grows up and there are enough engineers, Norman is already planning to let these old people retire early - the practice of relying on people to perform basic labor needs to be "eradicated" to improve development efficiency.

These workers always felt a little unreal when looking at Harry's introduction - it seemed too good.

"...With such good conditions, why don't you make money?" Someone asked this question.

Harry smiled: "Of course."

But money is not just "money", it should represent many things: material resources, financial resources, human resources, etc.

And Harry has always been more than just thinking about making simple "money". What Osborne wants to monopolize is their future, a future with unlimited possibilities.

No one is proud of a monopoly monkey or an unenlightened slave. If he is, it only means that he is not very clear-headed.
