Omnic Crisis in Super God's Beginning

Chapter 16 The First Sun of the Era

Only one sun will rise in an era, its height cannot be surpassed, and its light and heat will illuminate everything in that era.

Just as day and night change, the sun, moon and stars rotate.

When the first sun of the dawn era rises, there must be a long dark night.

……

Another month has passed.

Within this month, the competition among the El Star countries was very fierce.

Almost every superpower has quickly established a large number of machinery factories within its borders and laid related production lines, and a large number of gray goo intelligent machines have been produced.

When those gray goo intelligent machines are produced as products, they naturally need a huge market for consumption and sales.

The first market of those superpowers is their own national market.

The gray goo intelligent machines they produced were immediately purchased in large quantities by some factories to serve as labor force after being promoted by the government.

Those factories that purchased Gray Goo omnics to serve as labor force began to lay off a large number of factory workers after discovering that the price/performance ratio of one Gray Goo omnic was much higher than the labor force of three ordinary workers at the same price.

The first batch of unemployed people appears.

For a qualified product, apart from the various costs and materials used in production, the rest of the clearly marked price figures, even a decimal point, have corresponding profits.

This is the case with the Gray Goo omni-machine. When a machine only needs minerals to make a standardized alloy, and then uses the standardized alloy as the main material, from the first part being cast to being used as a qualified product when it comes off the production line, such a production When it takes less than half a month to perfectly replace grassroots workers of the same magnitude who take more than ten years to train, elimination is inevitable.

After some factories reaped the benefits, they immediately increased their purchases of the Gray Gu Omnic product. Other factories saw this and followed suit.

Not only in factories, but also in hotels, restaurants and other industries, a large number of grassroots workers in the service industry have also lost their jobs due to the emergence of gray goo omnics.

Even the White Kingdom of the Northern Continent was the first to pioneer and form the first purely mechanical legion composed of omni-machine units in its own army, and unhesitatingly announced this creation to the outside world in an attempt to show off. force.

After other superpowers learned about this incident, they also tried to equip and arm those omnics without autonomous consciousness.

When the leaders of various countries discovered that intelligent mechanical units equipped with weapons not only had excellent combat capabilities, but also executed orders far better than ordinary soldiers in the army, this mechanical competition entered the formal stage. road.

The mechanical armaments of various countries began to expand without seeking limits.

One after another, Gray Gu intelligent machines were armed into war machines and sent to the arsenals of various countries.

At the same time, countries have become turbulent within themselves.

For no other reason than someone else intervened.

Due to the futile increase in the armaments of various countries, and the influx of gray goo intelligent machines into society to replace many labor positions, countless people have become unemployed and become wandering unemployed, making the entire international society of El Star become more and more expanded. A powder keg, people from all walks of life in various countries are feeling the increasingly tense situation.

At the beginning, those unemployed people could still rely on government welfare subsidies to make ends meet after losing their jobs.

But as more and more gray goo intelligent machines are produced, more and more labor positions are replaced by cold machinery, more and more unemployed people are born, and the economic burden on the government is also increasing. , it becomes increasingly difficult for the later unemployed to maintain their survival in society.Another month has passed.

Since a large number of intelligent mechanical units replaced those cheap jobs at the grassroots level, the industries of those superpowers in mining, manufacturing, service industry, military industry and other aspects have entered a stage of rapid development.

Massive amounts of goods are produced, and countless amounts of food are piled up in warehouses. However, these accumulated products cannot be put on the shelves for sale, because the shelves are already full, but few consumers buy those products. .

The unemployed with no source of income are now crowding the streets.

When countries used gray goo omnics to develop rapidly, they also thought that this situation would occur.

But what they never expected was that the industrial upgrade brought about by gray goo omnics was so fast that governments around the world had not yet come up with suitable plans to accommodate those who would lose their jobs because of gray goo omnics. This terrible situation arises among unemployed people.

In just two months, the number of unemployed people in these superpowers has reached hundreds of millions on average in each country, and this number is still increasing rapidly.

There is already a serious shortage of social production jobs in all countries.

Such a large number of unemployed people, if not handled properly, will directly impact the domestic order of these superpowers.

Therefore, some officials began to guide and try to solve this problem.

They wanted to get the factories that produced products to stop purchasing Gray Goo intelligent machines, stop laying off factory employees, and fundamentally solve the problem of insufficient social jobs. However, after this method was implemented, it was found to be completely futile.

Because it is impossible for the factory to give up purchasing practical and durable gray goo intelligent machines and retain ordinary employees whose production efficiency is far lower than that of the intelligent equipment units.

When a large number of gray goo omnics replaced the grassroots labor force, those employees who were laid off from the factory relieved the factory owners of a lot of financial burdens. At the same time, the gray goo omnics who served as the new labor force created more profits for them. .

It is impossible for most people to give up the benefits they have received and use their kindness to take on unnecessary responsibilities for this society.

For this reason, some officials are thinking of starting with gray goo omnics and stopping the production of more gray goo omnics to prevent more production jobs in society from being replaced by these machines.

But this is in vain.

Because there's no way their top brass would stop producing Gray Goo omnics.

Gray goo omnics are about so many things these days.

It is not only about the competition with other superpowers, but also about the military industry. Most of the senior officials of these superpowers have direct interests in the military industry.

Nowadays, the production rights of gray goo intelligent weapons in various countries are in the hands of the military industries of each country.

Every Gray Gu intelligent weapon produced can benefit the military industry, and naturally these high-level personnel will also benefit.

They also don’t want to give up the benefits they have gained.

Therefore, those unemployed people became the victims of this mechanical competition among various countries—no one cared about them.
