Chapter 284 Change of Wind Direction
"We are conducting a comprehensive performance test on the third-generation intelligent industrial robot. The Lingsi robot chip designed by Fuxing for this purpose is really great. Now the third-generation industrial robot is enough for use."

Research center.

In the indoor product testing hall, Professor Hu Xinren, who was busy at first, noticed that Xu Lei came over and quickly reported the situation.

Confidence in words.

He didn't hide the excitement on his face at all.

Mainly for Hu Xinren, the research and development of industrial robots has become an obsession.

It has to be done in order for the mind to come through.

Now that the transformation and upgrading of industrial robots has been successfully completed with the help of the advanced technology in the intelligent medical cabin and the Xingtong mechanical body, how can I be unhappy.

"Very good, this is exactly what we need right now." Xu Lei simply responded to Hu Xinren, and then moved his eyes to look at the intelligent industrial robot in the middle, his eyes full of scrutiny.

After all, it will soon replace humans as the main force of productive labor.

"Thank you Dean for your affirmation of the third generation of industrial robots." Although Hu Xinren's praise to Xu Lei was very useful, he did not forget to mention Liang Fuxing: "However, this generation of robots can perform so well, thanks to Fuxing and the others. Lingsi chip built."

Hu Xinren's words are true.

Intelligent industrial robots do not have a smart brain like Xingtong to control them. If they want to deal with various situations at work, they need powerful smart chips for overall planning and control.

I have to say that Liang Fuxing and his team have really worked hard for a long time in order to design a chip that satisfies Hu Xinren.

Fortunately, all these are worthwhile.

The third generation of intelligent industrial robots successfully passed the test.

And Liang Fuxing is still very humble as before, after hearing Hu Xinren's high evaluation of himself, I am more or less embarrassed.

"Professor Hu praised you."

"The success of industrial robots is inseparable from your day and night research. I just did what I should do."

All the conversation between the two was heard by Xu Lei, but he didn't respond at this moment, his eyes stayed on the industrial robot all the time.

Look around.

Although the entire industrial robot still retains a human-like structure, it is completely incomparable with Xingtong's simulated mechanical body. After all, the cost of the two is far apart.

In addition, because the material used for the body is not the most advanced special alloy, the overall appearance is black.

Complete the work in front of you independently without human manipulation.

After determining the performance of this third-generation intelligent industrial robot, there is only one thing left to consider.

That is, the mass production of industrial robots.

As the sales of virtual helmets gradually increase, the labor gap in fields such as agricultural manufacturing and production will increase, which will require enough industrial robots to fill it.

If the balance between the two cannot be guaranteed, the sales of virtual headsets must also slow down.

Otherwise, when the supply of materials in the city cannot be satisfied, the society will inevitably be shaken.

Although Xu Lei wanted to make his influence break through to tens of millions as soon as possible, he didn't want to see this happen, and he didn't want the possibility that Xingtong simulated to become a reality.

What's more, if the society is unstable, even if new exhibits are unlocked in the future, it may be difficult to gain influence.

With the rapid thinking, Xu Lei didn't waste too much time after thinking of this, and directly asked Hu Xinren a question: "What is the current output of this kind of industrial robot?"

"According to our preliminary plan, we plan to mass-produce [-] third-generation industrial robots first, and completely replace the production line in the production base."

"At that time, the production capacity of each product will usher in a new round of improvement."

"And it is conservatively estimated that if the soon-to-be-built virtual helmet production base is also equipped with this kind of industrial robot, the monthly production capacity is likely to approach [-] million units."

In the face of Xu Lei's inquiry, Hu Xinren didn't make any excuses, and directly stated his detailed plan.

In his opinion, Xu Lei has been worrying about the production capacity of the virtual helmet before, unable to make it go online in the overseas market in a short time. Now the emergence of industrial robots has just solved this problem. According to the normal situation, he should be very happy. .

But under Hu Xinren's gaze, Xu Lei shook his head calmly.

"Too little."

"few?"

"How could there be less..."

Hu Xinren was surprised: "Dean, this number can fully meet the needs of the production base."

For Hu Xinren, the intelligent industrial robot he developed is mainly used to replace the production line of the company's production base, so that the production capacity can reach a new level.

The numbers he said were also carefully calculated.

No matter how you look at it, there is no shortage.

The key point is that he has been engaged in project research for so long, and he knows that Xu Lei never said that he missed anything.

When something like this suddenly appeared that he didn't understand, he could only take the initiative to seek answers from Xu Lei.

"I plan to promote the use of the third generation of industrial intelligent robots nationwide, so tens of thousands of robots are far from enough, and the number of the first batch of robots must reach at least tens of millions."

When hearing the number Xu Lei said, Hu Xinren was stunned for a few seconds, and then took a deep breath, never expecting that the two numbers would be so different.

On the other hand, Liang Fuxing, who was next to him, quickly understood Xu Lei's intentions, and was a little unbelievable: "Could it be that Mr. Xu wants to use industrial robots to fill the impact of the labor shortage caused by virtual helmets? This plan is too unimaginable."

The domestic population base alone is more than one billion. Even if industrial robots can create higher value, the amount of investment that needs to be invested is probably in the hundreds of millions.

Not to mention waiting for the virtual helmet to be global.

This is equivalent to completely changing the social structure of human beings for so long, and completely liberating human beings from labor.

The role played is the progress of human thought and brain.

The virtual world is even more important.

But at the same time, the problem is that industrial robots are different from virtual helmets.

It is difficult to mass-produce in the short term based on future technology alone.

Hu Xinren, who also reacted quickly, temporarily suppressed the huge shock in his heart.

Start talking about the problems.

"Dean."

"I need to say something."

"Although I have to admit that this is the best way to avoid the closure of the virtual world, but such a radical change in the long-standing way of human existence, will there be a situation where children take bombs?"

"In addition, although the cost of the third-generation industrial robot is only a few hundred thousand, the manufacturing process is more complicated than that of a virtual helmet."

"I'm afraid it will be difficult to complete the quantity of tens of millions."

Hu Xinren believed in Xu Lei very much, but what they were facing now was indeed not a trivial matter.

The emergence of advanced technology can indeed bring more convenient life to human beings.

But if the ideological system cannot keep up, it is easy to form a situation where children cross the street with bombs, which will eventually lead to the situation getting worse and retreating.

The key is that so many industrial robots cannot be manufactured at all.

At present, most of the resources of the entire future technology are used in the production of virtual helmets, and it is no longer possible to devote energy to large-scale production of intelligent industrial robots. If the number of industrial robots cannot keep up, it will not be able to meet the vacancies in the field of production and manufacturing. .

At that time, the virtual world will still be temporarily closed.

From this point of view, it seems that this method is not suitable for the current situation.

Xu Lei calmly listened to what Hu Xinren said. Of course, he also understood that Hu Xinren was out of consideration for the company, so he analyzed the national promotion of intelligent industrial robots.

However, Xu Lei's decision was not made in a flash of his head.

In addition to careful trade-offs, Xingtong's detailed simulation calculations were also passed to ensure that the feasibility of this plan reached a high level before it was implemented.

Therefore, Xu Lei has already considered the concerns raised by Hu Xinren.

At present, there are still heated debates on the Internet about the impact and consequences of the virtual world, and many people are waiting for future technology to respond to reassure the public.

Thinking of this, Xu Lei really didn't want to waste too much time.

Then he directly stated his plan.

"It is really difficult to mass-produce such a large number of intelligent industrial robots in a short period of time based on the current resource strength of future technology alone, so I am going to attract investment from all over the country."

"Let domestic companies engaged in machinery manufacturing participate in the manufacturing of intelligent industrial robot components."

"In this way, the production speed of industrial robots will be significantly improved."

Xu Lei's idea is very simple.

Since a company cannot meet the mass production of intelligent industrial robots based on future technology alone, it should simply combine the strength of other companies.

Let them help OEM the parts.

Anyway, the core technology of intelligent industrial robots lies in the Lingsi chip and the precision components located in the head, which can ensure that the core technology is always firmly in the hands of future technology.

In this way, as long as intelligent industrial robots can quickly fill the void in the market and ensure production, no matter how many people put their careers in the virtual world or virtual games, it will not affect social stability.

In the future, a kind of human beings will create value in the virtual world and enjoy various real-world services brought by intelligent industrial robots.

Originally, Hu Xinren was more worried that the number of intelligent industrial robots would not be able to meet the needs of the society, but after listening to the solution proposed by Xu Lei, he immediately understood that Xu Lei had made careful and detailed arrangements for this matter, and there was no need He worries too much.

Thinking of this, the whole person's emotions have calmed down a lot.

"Using investment promotion to allow other domestic companies to participate in the production of intelligent industrial robot components is indeed a very good solution."

"It seems that I was too anxious and questioned the plan you proposed, Dean."

"Your worries are not wrong, but the top priority right now is to get this matter done as soon as possible." Xu Lei responded to Hu Xinren's words in a deep voice, and arranged new tasks for him.

And thinking of the development of human civilization to the present, the already familiar way of life is about to be completely changed in his own hands, at this time Hu Xinren couldn't help but feel an indescribable throbbing in his heart.

There is even a sense of urgency.

Without any hesitation, he immediately promised: "Don't worry, Dean, I will take charge of this matter right away."

Liang Fuxing, who was next to him, saw that Hu Xinren had been assigned a new task, so he quickly echoed: "Let me join in, Mr. Xu. It just happens to be able to help Professor Hu, and maybe we can solve the investment promotion issue faster."

Now the Lingsi chip has been successful and has been successfully used in intelligent industrial robots.

In a way, he is really free at this stage.

Considering that attracting investment from qualified manufacturing companies across the country is indeed a complicated and cumbersome matter, and Hu Xinren is a scientist, he is definitely not too familiar with business matters. With Liang Fuxing's assistance It's a good choice.

So Xu Lei did not refuse.

"I agree, and report to Professor Hu if there is anything."

After solving this matter, Xu Lei let out a breath of foul air slowly, and then he stopped staying here for a long time at the test site.

Then he returned to the office with Xingtong.

Now that it has been officially decided to promote intelligent industrial robots nationwide and solve the problem of mass production, it must be announced immediately to eliminate online discussions.

I believe this news will cheer everyone up.

At this time, when Xu Lei and Xingtong disappeared, Hu Xinren turned around passionately, smiled at Liang Fuxing and said, "The next step is for us to act. This time it is related to the development of the virtual world and the development of society." Stable, we have to do it well, we can’t let the dean down.”

"Professor Hu, if you need anything, just tell me." Liang Fuxing looked resolute.

……

……

Two in the afternoon.

After careful editing and writing, the announcement was officially issued simultaneously on the official website of Future Technology and related media accounts.

The announcement pointed out that the virtual helmet is the crystallization of the highest technology of human civilization today, and the virtual world is related to the development of social forms and whether human civilization can open the era of technological explosion, so it will never be closed.

At the same time, Future Technology will launch intelligent industrial robots to replace humans in production and manufacturing, and will attract investment from all over the country to open the era of large-scale manufacturing.

And at the end of the announcement.

It is mentioned that various measures will be introduced in the follow-up future science and technology to ensure the smooth transformation of social forms and thoughts.

Due to the dismissal of many senior professors, everyone's attention is focused on the future technology, and they want to know how they will respond to this matter.

So almost at the moment when the announcement was made, a large number of users clicked to browse.

After learning that future technology will not shut down the virtual world, and that intelligent industrial robots have been launched to completely replace humans in production and manufacturing, everyone is immersed in extreme shock.

Never imagined that future technology would be so powerful.

If Ruan Deshou asked Future Technology to shut down the virtual world to make up for it after a dead end to avoid unmanageable things, then Future Technology's launch of intelligent industrial robots is to directly tear down the prison and build a new one.

But when everyone reacted, the first thought that popped up in their minds was support.

After knowing the wonders of the virtual world, no one wants to go back to traditional games, and whoever sees the light is willing to return to the darkness.

Moreover, with intelligent industrial robots guaranteeing the normal operation of the real world, there is nothing to worry about, so that the direction of discussion on the Internet has quickly changed.

"I knew Mr. Xu must have a coping strategy, and the fact proved that my guess was correct."

"It's right to let the bullets fly a little longer."

"In the future, when science and technology develops to the scale it is today, how could it be possible to launch an epoch-making product without considering the consequences and impacts? Some people suggest to use their brains more when encountering problems."

"I support President Xu!"

"I really didn't expect industrial robots to replace production. This is too sci-fi!"

"Is this kind of industrial robot the most common thing to go out in the future? Has the age of technology come to us?"

"I feel that there should be no shortage of materials for making science fiction movies again. They are all ready-made robots."

"Thousands of people kneel down and beg Mr. Xu to get more virtual helmets online, there is no way to get them!"

"It's all because the professor at Imperial University spread the panic message. He's being slapped in the face now. I don't know how that person feels?"

Under the huge amount of supportive speeches, those professors and students who blamed the virtual world seemed to have completely disappeared, and they dared not take any action.

At the same time, those domestic manufacturing companies are also happy.

Originally, the popularity of virtual helmets is getting bigger and bigger, and many people choose to strive for development in the virtual world, which makes companies engaged in manufacturing very worried, for fear that they will not be able to recruit people and the company will not be able to operate.

Now Future Technology wants to attract investment to manufacture intelligent industrial robots, which is equivalent to bringing them orders and solving personnel problems.

How can you be in a bad mood.

So almost on the same day, many company leaders immediately went to Binjiang City, wanting to win the investment promotion quota and become a partner of future technology.

In short, the virtual world has once again returned to its original calm.

Its number of users is also expected to exceed 2000 million.

However, it is worth mentioning that after the announcement was released, Xu Lei received a call from above. Although it was from Mr. Qin, the meaning was very obvious.

It is worrying about the plan of future technology to promote intelligent industrial robots nationwide.

question whether it is feasible.

After all, the things involved in this matter are too big, and they also need to deal with it carefully and be prepared to prevent various things.

Xu Lei didn't explain too much about this, but asked Xingtong to pass on a detailed data sheet about intelligent industrial robots, as well as the subsequent development plan of the virtual world.

After finally seeing these things, Mr. Qin still expressed his determination to support Xu Lei and future technology.

It is believed that this may be an opportunity for human civilization to move towards a new level.

It's worth the gamble.

Anyway, as long as the preparations for emergencies are made in advance, if the solution of intelligent industrial robots proves to be unfeasible, the virtual world can be closed and the public can return to their original positions.

You have nothing to lose by giving it a try.

Of course, this matter caused a lot of noise on the internal network, and it must have spread to the external network. In addition to attracting the attention of ordinary people, it is more concerned by the authorities.

Originally due to the status and influence of Yanfang and Future Technology, facing products that represent the highest technological crystallization of mankind, they will definitely allow them to be listed in the country unconditionally, and even in order to curry favor with Future Technology, many of them even open Out of the green channel.

Implementation of streamlined exemptions on many fees.

But realizing the consequences of the virtual helmet, they began to panic.

There are mainly many factions whose technological level is not high, and their development basically depends on the manufacturing industry. If the people see hope in entering the virtual world and virtual games, who would be willing to work hard.

This is a serious impact that the country cannot afford.

If you want to avoid this situation, you can only order intelligent industrial robots from Future Technology.

It is bound to be constrained everywhere.

But Future Technology is no longer something that overseas forces can offend, and no one dares to take the initiative to expressly prohibit the entry of virtual helmets.

Besides, if this is really done, the people will definitely actively resist.

For this reason, many forces held emergency meetings and invited think tanks from all walks of life to formulate a response plan.

-

Washington State.

After learning about the situation, Hayden and Quevedo came to the general consul's office immediately to discuss the virtual helmet.

Originally, Hayden, as the person in charge of the space agency, should not have appeared on such an occasion, but who told Tripp that there are not many core people who can use it, so he can only find some trusted people to discuss.

"General, we must not let the virtual helmet in, it will shake the foundation." Quevedo, who was more irritable, couldn't hold back, and expressed his point of view before Tripp opened his mouth.

When he and Tripp experienced the virtual helmet, they were indeed shocked by the technology involved, but at that time they were all focused on confrontation, and did not expect that the virtual world plus virtual games would produce such a great chemical reaction. It is said that the virtual currency system has not yet been officially launched when they use it.

And this time, even Hayden rarely stood in Quevedo's position on this matter.

He directly took over the words and echoed: "What Quevedo said makes sense, we must be cautious about the virtual helmet."

Listening to the attitudes of the two, Tripp slowly raised his gaze, with a wry smile on his brows: "We have no choice, since Xu Lei proposed to conduct confrontation exercises in the virtual world, we have already begun to plan gone."

"Commander, you mean..." Hayden and Quevedo were all surprised.

Seeing this scene, Tripp didn't deliberately try to keep it secret, and immediately got up and walked to the French window, explaining the confusion for the two of them with a deep sense of powerlessness.

"If I expect it to be correct, these are plans that have been formulated long ago by future technologies. From virtual helmets to intelligent industrial robots, they want to completely control our lifeblood."

"Just imagine."

"If we choose to purchase their intelligent industrial robots, the entire manufacturing industry will be controlled."

"But if the entry of virtual helmets is refused, not only the people will protest, but Yanfang and Future Technology will definitely take measures. This time we have lost very thoroughly!" Following these words, Tripp His eyes also seemed to have lost their vitality, giving him the illusion that he was much older in an instant.
