Black tech predators

Chapter 298 [Arnold Stewart]

There was a burst of applause from the audience. Some were excited about the advancement of technology, some were also excited about the birth of this new outlet, and some were saddened by it.

The people who are worried are the more than 300 million couriers and more than 400 million takeaway riders across the country. When they saw the 8-minute demonstration, the sci-fi scene came into reality. After marveling at the disruption brought by technology , a large number of melon-eating netizens on the Internet immediately entered a war of tearing pens.

One side is the supporter of technological change, and the other side is the opponent, and these people are the core of takeaway riders and couriers. After all, this is a major issue related to their professional jobs. The company will enter an unprecedented wave of layoffs, and unemployment is inevitable for this group.

At the press conference, Gu Cheng had expected that the controversy would follow. After a while, his voice resounded through the audience again:

"I don't want to avoid the impact of the smart solution launched by Tianqing Technology on the employees in the food delivery industry and the logistics industry. Now there are 800 million couriers and delivery riders across the country. Unmanned logistics will not completely replace them. basically replace it.”

"Automation and unmanned are the general trend. In the process of industrial transformation and upgrading, for practitioners, it is not the reduction of jobs, but the transformation of jobs. Smart logistics solutions will also give birth to a new and There is a huge advanced industrial chain, and there are thousands of new jobs that are in short supply.”

"Changing the position means changing the knowledge and skills of learning. This is a huge project, and only our country can do it. In the foreseeable future, the situation of holding night schools in the past may reappear. Industrial transformation and upgrading, there are pains. But it will be short-lived. The trend of the times is unstoppable, it will not stop because of a certain group of vested interests, the key depends on you to actively adapt to the new environment, and the only way is to seek change.”

As soon as the press conference ended, Tianqing Technology's first project in the new year became the focus of the moment, and it also triggered a hot topic of discussion among the people. The 8-minute demonstration video of unmanned logistics was frequently reproduced on the Internet. Click The rate is also rising steadily.

The war of tearing pens on the Internet is becoming more and more hot. Different from the past, the smart logistics solution launched by Tianqing Technology this time has made people living in the present realize that it is not just as simple as the express delivery industry and the takeaway industry. Technology is changing with each passing day. development, no one can stay out of it.

This is also the root cause of the hot topic. People are becoming more and more anxious, fearing that the arrival of the next technological inflection point will affect their industry, and then face the risk of unemployment.

Now couriers and takeaway riders, this industry has not been rising for many years, and now it has entered a sunset industry. Strictly speaking, it is an industrial upgrade, but for most couriers and takeaway riders, it is a sunset industry.

Although it is only a pilot project in the Changfeng area, millions of couriers and takeaways are now extremely anxious.

There are indications that the 8-minute demonstration video is a reflection of the future.

However, Gu Cheng, Tianqing Technology, major corporate partners, including relevant departments, have also prepared a buffer window for the future of these millions of couriers and riders. The country is unwilling to see millions of people suddenly unemployed. This happens.

The solution to this problem is nothing more than two points. On the one hand, it is to guide the transformation of the industry, and on the other hand, it is to provide a certain buffer. This is why the last 100 meters of door-to-door delivery has not yet launched robot delivery.

However, it is inevitable for major logistics companies to lay off employees. They adopt the method of eliminating the last ones and retain technical talents. Skill.

In the area of ​​smart logistics solutions, Gu Cheng did not devote too much energy to it. In comparison, the "Stars Project" is what he is concerned about. Nothing is more important than the development of the era of cosmic voyages.

While Gu Cheng is aggressively pursuing technology, other people on the earth are also not idle.

……

March, Germany, Lower Saxony, Göttingen.

Elon Musk came to Germany suddenly. He didn’t come here for fun, but for the development of SpaceX’s “Leviathan” rocket. Lockheed Martin will provide controllable nuclear fusion for the “Leviathan” rocket. , but there is still an urgent need for a lead research and development personnel for fusion engine launch, and no suitable person can be found in the United States.

In the end, Vera Lopez recommended to him a new generation of German scientists, Arnold Stewart, who was only 26 years old.

If Gu Cheng is the most dazzling person in Asia, and Vera Lopez is the most dazzling scientist in North America, then Arnold Stewart, a German who is most favored by the academic circles in Europe, is enough to be regarded as a freshman in the academic circle generational genius.

Elon Musk went straight to the University of Göttingen when he arrived at his destination, and Arnold Stewart is currently a professor of physics at the University of Göttingen.

……

At this moment, in a classroom of the university, there are more than twenty scattered students.

The person who was teaching was Arnold Stewart, who was only a few years older than these students.

"We know that a rocket engine needs two things to work, one is energy and the other is working fluid." Arnold Stewart, wearing a suit, looked at the projection screen in the classroom. He stood on one side and put one hand into his trouser pocket. Holding a small remote in one hand.

"A general chemical energy rocket not only provides propulsion energy, but also acts as a propellant working medium. This seems to simplify the structure, but according to the law of conservation of momentum, the specific impulse of the rocket is proportional to the velocity of the injected working medium, and the chemical energy There is an upper limit to the speed at which the rocket ejects the propellant, and theoretically, the energy and the propellant can also be separated."

At this time, a student wearing glasses said, "Professor, is the Huaguo's Tianren fighter a fusion engine?"

Hearing this, Arnold Stewart withdrew his gaze, looked at a group of students, and said: "From the published data, it is speculated that there is a probability of more than 90%. The energy can support the voyage covering the earth-moon system, and the fusion engine uses the energy generated by fusion and heating working fluid to generate propulsion, note that the fusion product itself can also be used as working fluid.”

"In a fusion engine, there are three types of energy that come from the fusion reaction: one is the plasma thermal energy, when the fusion fuel undergoes fusion, the fuel atoms are ionized into a high-temperature plasma, which contains most of the fusion energy and is also easy-to-use energy;"

"One is neutron energy, fusion reactions or side reactions that produce lethal neutron radiation, lethal to humans, which can cause neutron embrittlement and neutron activation of engine components; neutron energy is considered wasted energy."

"The last is the bremsstrahlung energy. When the ions in the high-temperature plasma of the nuclear fusion reaction collide with the electrons, the useful plasma heat energy is converted into useless and dangerous X-rays that cool the ions. Therefore, this is also considered It's wasted energy."

"Judging from the physique of the Skyblade fighter, it is very likely that the pure fusion engine provides the source of power."

As soon as the get out of class was over, the students in the classroom left one after another. As soon as Arnold Stewart left the classroom, he was stopped by a man: "Professor Stewart, Mr. Elon Musk has been waiting for you for a long time. meet you."

"Elon Musk?" Stewart looked puzzled: "Is that the Silicon Valley lunatic Elon Musk who clamored on Twitter that he would have a nuclear explosion on Mars?"

The Iron Man of Silicon Valley is still very famous. Some non-professionals in the media circle write articles that have no scientific basis. In the eyes of the academic circles, they find it funny and treat it as an after-dinner talk.

"It's this one."

Although Elon Musk has the title of "Silicon Valley Iron Man", many people regard him as a technology leader, but he is not a real academic leader.Arnold Stewart was curious as to why this man had come all the way, and he had no friendship with him.

Shouldn't you come over to discuss a nuclear explosion of Mars together?

Thinking of this, Stuart couldn't help being amused by his sudden thought, and immediately followed the guide to meet people.As a super rich man in the world, if he comes to ask for a meeting, he can't see him. What if he is here to invest in basic scientific research?
