giants of the era

Chapter 532 The Magical Talking Car!

When the era of robots comes, many jobs will indeed be replaced by them. Many experts believe that according to the current development trend of robots, 20% of the world's people will be unemployed in 50 years.

Is it just that Li Zetian will not develop robots because of this?

will not!

Technology cannot be stopped.

If you don't develop, don't others develop?
Right now, due to the rapid development of artificial intelligence robots, many people feel anxious, including even the world-renowned scientist Stephen Hawking.These people believe that the development of artificial intelligence is to open Pandora's box and release the devil. Sooner or later, human beings will encounter an artificial intelligence crisis!

In this regard, Li Zetian smiled noncommittally, no matter what the future will be, but for now, it is beneficial for artificial intelligence to be human.

In fact, compared with robots, humans have an advantage.

The human brain is tens of thousands of times more powerful than the most advanced robots.

Also, humans have genes, but robots don't.

If you master the mystery of genes, you will be like a god!
In movies or novels, human genes mutate, and then possess powerful superpowers, which is actually very scientific.There is a "Super Human" project within the Gene Technology Company, through gene editing technology, to purposefully modify human genes to make human beings healthier and stronger!
Although not much results have been achieved yet, the research direction is always right.

In the future, human beings will still be the race at the top of the food chain! ! !
……

Leaning on the railing, the Xiaoxiao rain breaks.

Li Zetian leaned on the balcony, meditating quietly. When the weather cleared up, Li Zetian smiled faintly.

"Humanity is too unemployed, but I have a solution!"

In December, the Christmas season comes.

The United States and even the Western world will make large purchases, and the price of Andrew Robot has been reduced to 3000 US dollars.Due to the expansion of production scale and the improvement of production technology, the manufacturing cost of Andrew robot has been greatly reduced, which is about 2500 US dollars.Therefore, even if you sell for $3000, you can make $500.

However, users do not know.

When they saw the price reduction of Andrew Robot, they rushed to the store to buy it.

For everyone, Robot Land is undoubtedly the best family gift this Christmas.

Soon, this year has passed.

In January 2012, the financial statements of major companies for last year came out.

Li Zetian glanced roughly and was very satisfied. The total revenue exceeded 8.6 trillion US dollars, and the net profit was more than 9250 billion US dollars. If it were not for the increase in technology research and development, the net profit would definitely exceed 1 trillion US dollars!

Money makes money again, so much money earned will continue to be used for investment or to acquire companies.

Today, Li Zetian's business empire is getting bigger and bigger, and it is undergoing huge changes every day.

In the past two years, Li Zetian's infiltration into Asian countries, including India, Indonesia, Vietnam and other countries, has reached a very terrifying level. The Internet, finance, energy, electricity, food, real estate, industrial manufacturing, etc. are almost pervasive.

In addition, Li Zetian also vigorously developed the mining industry in African countries and acquired many mines.In fact, the price of buying these mines is very cheap. You must know that after the subprime mortgage financial crisis, the prices of global minerals plummeted one after another, and countless mining companies went bankrupt. It fell sharply, less than half of what it was before.

With the rise of Li Zetian's integration of the automobile industry, robots, and artificial intelligence home furnishing, the mining market quickly picked up. The mines that Li Zetian bought at the beginning have now increased in value by more than ten times.

However, even if Chronos Industries becomes the world's largest mining company, it still cannot satisfy the enterprises under Li Zetian's name.

……

The Christmas holidays are over and people are starting to return to their jobs.

Li Zetian frequently went to Tesla Motors and Gene Technology to pay attention to the situation of unmanned cars and brain wave technology.

On February 2, the construction of Tesla's unmanned car manufacturing plant was completed.

Built in Los Angeles, the factory covers an area of ​​about 1000 million square meters, making it the second largest factory in the world.

The world's largest factory is the Chronos industrial artificial intelligence robot manufacturing factory in Nevada, covering an area of ​​1500 million square meters.

From February 2th, Tesla's unmanned vehicles began mass production, half a month earlier than expected.

Two models will be produced this time, one is the luxury version of the convertible sports car Tesla Roadster X, priced at 50 US dollars, and the other is the high-performance sedan Tesla Model 1, priced at 10 US dollars.

Both cars are very expensive, but there is no way, because they are electric cars and unmanned cars, and the manufacturing costs are so high.

On March 3th, Tesla Motors was about to launch an advertisement. The CEO of the company suddenly called Li Zetian and said that he wanted to ask Eve to be the advertising spokesperson for Tesla Motors.

Artificial intelligence robot to speak for unmanned cars?

Li Zetian was taken aback at the time, and then agreed, thinking that this idea is quite good.

Starting from April 4, advertisements for Tesla's unmanned vehicles have successively landed on various publicity channels, such as TV stations, the Internet, newspapers, bus stops, and so on.

After seeing these advertisements, people couldn't help being taken aback. Whether it's the Tesla Roadster X or the Tesla Model 1, they are all amazing.

It's just that the expensive price is daunting.

"It would be great if I had a car like this..."

"The sexy girl begs the local tyrant to take her away. As long as you have such a luxury car, I will be your girlfriend!"

"Damn, it's so cool!!! Eve just walked out of the company building, and the self-driving car drove out of the garage by itself, and finally stopped in front of Eve!"

"Tsk tsk, that's really cool!"

"Uh, when you're taking a walk, the Tesla driverless car can still follow slowly, I'll go, this is amazing!"

Tesla's unmanned car caused a sensation in the United States, but President Gal and others were not happy, and faintly felt a crisis coming.

……

On June 6, Tesla's driverless cars were officially launched.

There are still many local tyrants in the world. Within a week, Tesla Motors sold 1.5 Tesla Roadster Xs and 26.3 Tesla Model 1s.

The sales volume is so good, it is natural to make people jealous.

Many car companies have blacked Tesla's unmanned vehicles behind their backs, saying that unmanned vehicles are unsafe and prone to accidents.

Li Zetian disdained it.

Now that so many people have purchased unmanned vehicles, as long as word of mouth spreads, these rumors will be self-defeating.

When people are full of trust in unmanned vehicles, Uber's unmanned vehicle taxi service will be fully launched, and drivers who have previously cooperated with Uber will only choose to stay with relatively good reputations.Even if users don't choose self-driving cars, they have another choice.

Japan, Toyota Motor.

"Bageya Road!!! Our Toyota is the best car, we can't let Tesla take away our market position, especially in the US market! Let the development team develop an unmanned car!!!" An old man in his 60s yelled at everyone in the meeting room.

"Yes yes yes!" Everyone nodded submissively, but how easy is it to develop an unmanned car...?However, Toyota's technology and background are too strong, and there is the support of the Japanese consortium behind it, so everyone still has some confidence.In fact, Toyota Motor Corporation is also developing unmanned vehicles. After all, unmanned vehicles have been very popular in recent years.

The next day, Toyota Corporation of Japan held a press conference and announced the concept car of Toyota's driverless car.

Toyota Motor Corporation thinks so. Although I haven’t developed an unmanned car, I am the industry leader after all. I have a huge user base, that is, many fans. As long as I say that Toyota’s unmanned car is about to be developed , then these users will not buy Tesla unmanned vehicles immediately, but wait until Toyota unmanned vehicles are developed, and then buy Toyota unmanned vehicles.

In this way, the sales of Tesla's unmanned cars can be greatly reduced.

"Wow, Toyota's self-driving car is about to be developed, which is great! I've been driving Toyota before, and I think Toyota is very good!"

"I originally planned to buy a Tesla driverless car, but I thought it was too expensive and hesitated. Since Toyota is also going to launch a driverless car, I'll wait and see. Toyota has always been cheap and high quality, and it is the best-selling car in the United States. Cars, presumably, should be cheaper than Tesla cars.”

"Toyota is a big international brand, with a guarantee! Tesla Motors has only been established for a few years? If an unmanned car has an accident, it would be too tragic..."

"..."

Li Zetian looked at the messages on the Internet and frowned.

"Toyota wants to fight me, right? Well, come on, who is afraid of whom! I want to develop not only driverless cars, but also 'Transformers'!!!"

Thinking of this, Li Zetian suddenly became inexplicably excited.

He naturally knows that with the current level of technology, the "Transformers" in the movie will definitely not be developed, but if artificial intelligence is added to the unmanned car, it can speak and have a very unique personality, which is quite interesting .If possible in the future, it might be impossible to develop a car that can turn into a robot!

"If a BMW suddenly says 'Don't touch me', will it scare the kids?"

Li Zetian laughed involuntarily.

Immediately, Li Zetian called the CEO of Tesla Motors, told him what he meant, and ordered him to contact Chronos Industries, and then held a press conference to announce the matter.

In less than two weeks, the matter was settled, and a press conference was held the next day.
