I am reborn as Sai, but the animation three-body

Chapter 86: Machine Substitute
"Because there are no living people in this factory, the production line and other equipment are also controlled remotely. Of course, most of the repetitive work is replaced by artificial intelligence." Sai explained.

"Those production lines are also operated by humans?" the representative of the European Union wondered.

"Depending on the situation, most of the cases are operated by artificial intelligence, but some precise tasks cannot be performed by artificial intelligence and need to be performed by humans."

"What's the difference between someone operating a production line at a distance and someone operating a production line in front of you?" asked the U.S. representative.

"It's not a question of distance. I believe that when it comes to the production line, in most people's minds, it's a row of people standing in front of a track or a table assembling something, right?" Sai asked rhetorically.

"That's right, this is a typical labor-intensive industry. The first pot of gold of the four Asian tigers is the labor-intensive industry that Westerners don't want." Representative Hua Guo said.

"The production line of the smart factory in the PPT is to let the machine assemble things on the track or in front of the table." Say said.

"Isn't this what you're talking about an automated production line? What does it have to do with people?" the American representative asked in confusion.

"Not exactly, because workers are responsible for giving commands to these machines, such as the direction of rotation of the mechanical arm and the speed of the track."

"Of course, the two examples I gave can now be completed by artificial intelligence, but there are some fine-grained operations that cannot be done by artificial intelligence now, and will not be possible in the future."

"When faced with these tasks, people will directly manipulate the production line through the V-suit, and the entire production line is an extension of the human body."

"It also has many benefits for workers. They don't need to participate in the busy work, they won't work in harsh working conditions, and they won't encounter various accidents."

"For example, accidents such as hands or other limbs being cut off, or situations where the harsh environment endangers the health of employees will not happen, but will only happen to mechanical substitutes."

"This is also of great help to the construction of the Earth-Moon economic circle, because human beings no longer need to risk their lives to work in space, but can manipulate machine substitutes to do their own work."

"In this way, there will be much fewer personnel accidents in the Earth-Moon economic circle, the construction of the Earth-Moon economic circle will be accelerated, and it will even be easier to develop other planets in the solar system in the future."

"On the other hand, the labor force will increase, because it is much easier to use the V-suit as the input to control the machine substitute than to do it yourself, so the retired old people can also be employed again." Sai explained to everyone.

Everyone understands the two points that Say said, because using the V-suit to manipulate the robot double not only makes people no longer need to worry about the risks of working in a high-risk environment, but also means that everyone’s physiological conditions have been leveled.

After all, mechanical avatars are all industrial products on the assembly line, and their quality and function have a unified template, and it is impossible for them to have great differences like humans.

Of course, there is a natural gap between people in terms of neural response speed, but many low-tech jobs don't look at this, such as manipulating a machine stand-in to move bricks.

The mechanical stand-in for moving bricks is naturally not in the form of a human figure, but a large forklift with remote control. Humans only need to use the V equipment to control the route of the car and lift and place bricks.

This kind of work certainly does not require too high a reaction force, even people with mild intellectual disabilities can handle it, at most those e-sports professionals can "twice as one mind" and can operate more forklifts at the same time.

As for why artificial intelligence is not allowed to operate the forklift, because the complex environment of the construction site is not easy for artificial intelligence to deal with, if people handle these problems, the cost can be greatly reduced.

"You don't even want to let go of an old man who is seven or eighty years old?" the representative of the European Union sneered.

"I'm not forcing the elderly to work." Say plausibly said: "It's just that it is legal for the factory to recruit the elderly to operate the mechanical substitute, because the elderly can also do heavy labor with the mechanical substitute."

"I believe that many elderly people will re-employ for money. After all, they use V-suits to do simple tasks in the virtual world, just as easy as playing games."

"What about the educational background? Is it true that illiterate people can use the V-suit to operate the machine as a substitute?" asked the representative of India.

"You don't need a high degree of education, but you need some basic training to learn how to operate different machine avatars, because machine avatars are not human bodies after all." Sai replied.

Afterwards, representatives of several other countries also raised their own doubts, so Say told his ideas to the seven members of the Council.

In the ideal idea given by Say, a person lying in the information cabin with the assistance of artificial intelligence can directly manipulate remote machine substitutes, such as robots and production lines.

The smart factory on the PPT is like this, there is not even a walkway designed for humans.Everything is carried out by artificial intelligence and human-operated drones.

Of course, at the current level of technology, this is unrealistic at this stage, so Say told everyone about the simplest idea, which is to use V-suits to realize remote control with somatosensory.

For example, people drive in the virtual world through V-suits, and through radio remote control, real unmanned cars will also receive the same instructions.

And because the car also has somatosensory equipment, the user can drive the car as if manipulating his own body, thus avoiding the situation of bumping into people when reversing because he cannot see the back.

But no matter what it is, humans have advanced machine substitutes, and many high-risk and highly repetitive tasks do not need to be performed in person, but can be done by robots.

Such benefits are naturally endless, because compared with robots, the human body is very weak, whether it is vision, strength or environmental adaptation.

Humans can only see a few types of electromagnetic waves, their movement speed cannot exceed 20 meters per second, and their bodies are so fragile that they will die instantly in harsh environments.

But machine substitutes are different. They can adapt to various extreme environments, and even in different working environments, they can also be replaced with different machine substitutes.

For example, in a narrow gap, a person can use a machine body smaller than a fly to get in, and in a high temperature environment, a person can use another most suitable machine body to get in.

Of course, humans now have drones and robots, but compared to using input devices such as keyboards, it is obviously more efficient to directly control them with body movements or even nerve electrical signals.

Therefore, the seven member states finally announced the approval of the Roki plan, and began to set up pilot areas around the world to gradually promote the implementation of the Roki plan.
