Chapter 279 The First Year of Intelligent Robots

In late December.

Black Hole Universe Development Company.

Wei Ming took ten days to send the second batch of container assemblies to Mars at a scale of 1 million tons per day, with a total mass of 10 million tons.

However, the delivery method used this time is different.

The speed of ejection of each batch of materials is slightly different, showing a slightly increasing pattern.

That is, the speed of the materials sent on the second night is slightly faster than that sent on the first night.

In this way, after more than ten months of space drifting, the materials sent in ten days will arrive in the orbit near Mars on the same day.

That is, "launched on different days, arrived on the same day".

When receiving the express delivery, Wei Ming only needs to stay on Mars for more than one day, not a full ten days.

In addition, Wei Ming also took a few days to go to the No. 1 development site on Mars, brought a batch of materials, and checked the survival of Long Laotie and others.

Are Long Laotie and others still alive?

Vigorous and energetic.

It's just that Long Laotie's mental state is a bit sluggish and lifeless, and he looks like he is in the late stage of depression.

As soon as he saw Wei Ming, he was like seeing a fellow villager. With a face full of pleading and longing, he pulled his arm and said, "Friend, dear friend, take me back! I can give you anything. I have money and a company. I will give you all of these! Please take me back!"

"Your company is gone."

Wei Ming said indifferently, "Since your Mars expedition failed, SpaceX's debt has exploded, and its stock price has plummeted by 99%. It has recently declared bankruptcy and delisted. Your wife Della has remarried. Her new husband is a young and strong black guy. She is very happy now. You don't have to worry at all."

"This is impossible!"

Long Laotie's eyes were red: "Della loves me so much, how could she find another man so quickly? And she found a black guy, this-"

He clenched his fists, veins popped out of his forehead, and stared at Wei Ming angrily: "You are lying, you must be lying to me, you must be lying to me!"

He was not surprised that the company went bankrupt, but he absolutely did not believe that his wife would get over the pain so quickly and fall in love with someone else.

Not to mention that she found a black guy!

Wei Ming threw an iPad into his hand and said, "There are news from the CBC News Agency in the past six months. You can read it carefully to relieve your boredom. If you want to read news about your wife, you can click on the entertainment section."

"In addition, I brought you not much fresh water this time, enough food for a year, and tools for digging wells. There is water 300 meters below this land. You have to solve the drinking water problem by yourself. I will not bring you water in the future. If you don't want to die of thirst, dig a well yourself."

Wei Ming felt that it was necessary to improve their ability to be self-reliant. They stayed on Mars for half a year, and they didn't see much construction activities around here. They only built a small outdoor camp and didn't plant potatoes.

And they only saw his partner Lucas doing activities outside and picking up the log board to record the activity log.

Long Laotie, oh, Long Lutie, was like a salted fish, no longer as high-spirited as before.

But after Wei Ming finished speaking, Long Lutie looked like he didn't listen at all, just looking at the news, but Lucas next to him took out the log and wrote down his words.

Wei Ming said nothing more, walked out of the container, and took out all the supplies from Water Drop 3.

He entered Water Drop 3 and accelerated to leave Mars. Before leaving, he could vaguely hear Long Lutie's roar.

"FxxK, FxxK! That bastard named Brook, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to smash your head!"

He chased out of the container and wanted to get on Wei Ming's Water Drop 3, but he was gone. He had to kneel down and cry, beating his chest: "Take me back, I must kill that dog couple!"

He regretted it.

He shouldn't have come to Mars at all, and shouldn't have entered the aerospace field to make a broken rocket. He got the wrong direction. Perhaps what he should do most is to study how to kill the hateful black guy!

...

2028.

Another brand new year has begun.

Although this year has only just begun, the technology circle has reached several consensuses in advance.

This year will be the first year of intelligent robots.

The "Emperor III" high-energy battery, coupled with the intelligent brain technology with an intelligence level of Lv17 (the intelligence is equivalent to that of a 17-year-old human), has brought the time for intelligent robots to blossom.

So 2028 will definitely be the "year of unemployment". 30% of farmers, more than 90% of factory workers, more than 50% of service industry practitioners, about 70% of programmers, and a large number of jobs in other industries will be replaced by intelligent robots.

Unmanned ports.

Unmanned container cruise ships.

Unmanned flights.

Unmanned high-speed railways.

Unmanned banks.

Unmanned supermarkets.

Unmanned factories.

All of these have become a reality, and future wars will also be unmanned. No matter what industry, as long as the boss gives you a high salary and the technical content of the work content is low, it is possible to be replaced by intelligent robots.

After all, the price of a good intelligent robot is only 500,000.

Even on construction sites, robot workers can be seen.

On the roadsides of many cities, the number of sanitation workers is decreasing, and the number of sweeping robots is increasing.

Due to the extremely high cost-effectiveness of the use of intelligent robots, they are currently in short supply.

This means that for every intelligent robot produced by the robot factory, at least one job will be lost.

And the shipment volume of intelligent robots in China in 2028 is expected to reach more than 100 million units.

So the number of jobs that will be lost this year will be at least more than 100 million.

The unemployment rate is expected to soar from around 5% in previous years to 25%!

So what does this mean?

What should the unemployed do who have no jobs, no income, but still need expenses and face the pressure of survival?

Wei Ming immediately thought of four words-rise up.

Damn, I'm going to starve to death soon. Should I lie there obediently, like a certain brother's untouchables, and lie there peacefully waiting to die?

Impossible.

"If you starve, you will die. If you make a big plan, you will die. Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers of different species?"-At that time, someone will definitely raise his arms and shout this sentence.

If it were Wei Ming himself, among the many ways to die, any death would be fine. Starving to death is too fucked up. It's better to do something big.

Of course, the country has also seen the huge hidden dangers after the large-scale application of intelligent robots. This is a fatal problem that may lead to social collapse due to the development of science and technology, but it cannot stop and resist the inevitable trend of technological development.

Therefore, a number of policies have been introduced in advance to ensure that the social structure will not collapse.

For example, a robot tax is levied, and each intelligent robot is taxed 2,000 yuan per month to slow down the application of robots and increase the cost of use.

Then, each unemployed person over the age of 18 will receive 2,000 yuan in unemployment benefits per month - equivalent to compensating the unemployed with the tax collected from robots.

What if two thousand yuan is not enough?

Then you can consider finding a partner to get married.

Because as soon as you get married, you will be given a bonus of 500,000 to 1 million yuan immediately (if you can't find a domestic partner, you will be introduced to a foreign partner and provided with an interest-free loan of less than 500,000 yuan. If the loan is waived, if you divorce, it will be considered a breach of contract and compensation must be paid), and a family subsidy of the number of family members × 2,000 will be issued.

That is, if your family has three people, you can receive a subsidy of 6,000 yuan per month; if there are five people, you can receive 10,000 yuan.

If there are N people, you can receive N×2000.

The more people there are, the more subsidies there are.

If both husband and wife are unemployed, they can continue to receive unemployment benefits.

Therefore, the best way for young people to get out of trouble is to find someone to live with, buy a cheap house, create a few more little people, and live a life that is no worse than working hard with unemployment benefits + family subsidies.

Wei Ming thinks that the person who came up with this idea is simply amazing. Creating little people is much easier than working. It can be predicted that the next wave of marriage and baby boom will come soon.

New leeks will definitely come in an endless stream.

After this series of patches are applied, at least most of the potential risks will be eliminated.

2028, the first year of the era of intelligent robots, will surely come in a grand manner.
