"We are conducting a comprehensive performance test on the third-generation intelligent industrial robot. The Linsi robot chip designed by Fuxing is really great. Now the third-generation industrial robot is enough to be put into use."

Research center.

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

The words are full of confidence.

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

Mainly for Hu Xinren, developing industrial robots has become an obsession.

It must be completed in order to have clear thoughts.

Now that we have successfully completed the transformation and upgrade of the industrial robot with the help of the advanced technology in the smart medical cabin and Xingtong mechanical body, how can we not be happy?

"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 consideration.

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

"Thank you, Dean, for your affirmation of the third-generation industrial robot." Although Hu Xinren praised Xu Lei very much, he did not forget to mention Liang Fuxing: "But this generation of robots can perform so well, thanks to Fuxing and the others. The Lingsi chip created by the company.”

What Hu Xinren said is true.

Intelligent industrial robots do not have an intelligent brain like Xingtong for control. To cope with various situations at work, they need powerful intelligent chips for overall control.

It has to be said that Liang Fuxing and his team have indeed worked hard for a long time to design a chip that satisfies Hu Xinren.

Fortunately, all these efforts are worth it.

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

Liang Fuxing still behaved very modestly as before. After hearing Hu Xinren's high praise for himself, he felt a little embarrassed.

"Professor Hu praised it very much."

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

Xu Lei heard all the conversation between the two, but he did not respond at this time. His eyes always stayed on the industrial robot.

Look around.

Although the entire industrial robot still retains a humanoid-like structure, it is completely incomparable to Xingtong's simulated mechanical body. After all, the cost of the two is very different.

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

Complete all tasks in front of you independently without human control.

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

That is, the problem of mass production of industrial robots.

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

If the balance between the two cannot be ensured, then the sales speed of virtual helmets must also slow down.

Otherwise, when the city's material supply cannot be met, society will inevitably experience shock.

Although Xu Lei wanted to reach tens of millions of points of influence as soon as possible, he did not want to see this situation happen, let alone let some of the possibilities simulated by Xingtong become a reality.

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

With his mind running rapidly, Xu Lei thought of this and stopped wasting time. He 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 10,000 third-generation industrial robots first and completely replace the production lines in the production base."

"By then, the production capacity of each product will usher in a new round of improvement."

"And it is conservatively estimated that if the upcoming virtual helmet production base is also equipped with such industrial robots, the monthly production capacity is likely to approach 100 million units."

Faced with Xu Lei's inquiry, Hu Xinren did not show any pretense and directly stated his detailed plan.

In his opinion, Xu Lei had been worrying about the production capacity of the virtual helmet and was unable to launch it in overseas markets in a short time. Now the emergence of industrial robots has just solved this problem. Under normal circumstances, he should be very happy. .

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

"Too little."

"few?"

"How could there be less..."

Hu Xinren's face was full of surprise: "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 company's production base production line, allowing production capacity to reach a new level.

The numbers he mentioned were also carefully calculated.

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

The key has been working on the project for such a long time, and he knows very well that Xu Lei never said 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 third-generation industrial intelligent robots across the country, so tens of thousands of them are not enough. The first batch of robots must be at least tens of millions."

When he heard the numbers Xu Lei said, Hu Xinren was stunned for a few seconds, and then took a breath. He never expected that the two numbers would be so different.

However, Liang Fuxing, who was standing next to him, quickly understood Xu Lei's intentions and was a little unbelievable: "Mr. Xu wants to use industrial robots to fill the labor shortage caused by virtual helmets. This plan is really unimaginable."

The domestic population base alone is over one billion. Even if industrial robots can create higher value, the amount of investment required will probably be in the hundreds of millions.

Not to mention waiting for the virtual helmet to be available to the world.

This is equivalent to completely changing the social structure of mankind for such a long time and completely liberating mankind from labor.

The role it plays 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 and virtual helmets are different.

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

Hu Xinren, who quickly reacted the same way, 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 prevent the virtual world from being shut down, but if it completely changes the way humans have lived for a long time, will there be a situation where children take bombs?"

"Also, although the cost of third-generation industrial robots 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 a number of tens of millions."

Hu Xinren has great faith in Xu Lei, but what they are facing now is indeed not a trivial matter.

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

But if the ideological system cannot keep up, it will easily lead to a situation where children are crossing the street with bombs, which will eventually lead to the situation getting worse and retreating.

The key is that we simply can’t manufacture that many industrial robots right now.

At present, most of the resources of the entire future technology are used in the production of virtual helmets. They can no longer allocate 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 manufacturing field. .

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

From this perspective, it seems that this method is not suitable for the current situation.

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

However, Xu Lei did not make this decision just because his head was hot.

In addition to careful trade-offs, Xingtong also conducted detailed simulation calculations to ensure that the feasibility of this solution reached a high level before implementation.

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

Currently, there is still a fierce debate on the Internet about the impact and consequences of the virtual world. 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.

"With the current resource strength of Future Technology alone, it is indeed difficult to mass-produce such a large number of intelligent industrial robots in a short period of time, so I am ready to attract investment nationwide."

"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 simple.

Since Future Technology alone cannot satisfy the mass production and manufacturing of intelligent industrial robots, it can simply join forces with other companies.

Let them help OEM produce various components.

Anyway, the core technology of intelligent industrial robots lies in the Linsi chip and the precision components located on 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 into the virtual world or virtual games, it will not affect the stability of society.

In the future, humans 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 could not meet social needs, 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 for it at all. He worries too much.

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

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

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

"Your concerns are not wrong, but the top priority 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 a new task for him.

When he thought that with the development of human civilization, the very familiar way of life would be completely changed by his own hands, Hu Xinren couldn't help but feel an indescribable throbbing in his heart.

There is even a feeling of impatientness.

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

Liang Fuxing, who was next to him, saw that Hu Xinren had been assigned a new task, so he quickly echoed: "Let me join, Mr. Xu. I can just help Professor Hu, and maybe the investment matter can be solved faster."

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

In a way, he is indeed quite idle at this stage.

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

So Xu Lei did not refuse.

"I agree. If anything happens, I will report it to Professor Hu."

After settling the matter, Xu Lei slowly let out a breath of turbid air, and then stopped staying at the testing site for any longer.

Then he and Xingtong returned to the office.

Now that it has been officially decided to promote intelligent industrial robots nationwide and solve the problem of mass production and manufacturing, 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: "It's our turn to take action next. This time it is related to the development of the virtual world and the development of society." Stability, we must get it right and not let the dean down."

"Professor Hu, just ask me if you have anything to do." Liang Fuxing looked determined.

…

…

2 p.m.

The carefully edited and written 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 form and whether human civilization can usher in 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 across the country to usher in an era of large-scale manufacturing.

And at the end of the announcement.

It was mentioned that various measures will be introduced by science and technology in the future to ensure the smooth transformation of social forms and ideas.

Due to the previous demise of many senior professors, everyone's attention has been focused on future technology, and they want to know what kind of response will be made to this matter.

Therefore, almost as soon as the announcement was issued, a large number of users clicked to browse.

Everyone was immersed in extreme shock after learning that future technology would not close the virtual world, and that intelligent industrial robots would completely replace humans in production and manufacturing.

I never expected that future technology would be so powerful.

If Nguyen Duc Tho's request for Future Technology to close the virtual world is to make up for the situation and avoid difficult 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 came to mind was support.

After knowing the wonders of the virtual world, no one wants to go back to traditional games, and who wants to go back to darkness after seeing the light.

Moreover, with intelligent industrial robots ensuring the normal operation of the real world, there is nothing to worry about, so the direction of discussion online quickly changed.

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

"It would be right to let the bullet fly a little longer."

"In the future, when technology develops to the scale it is today, how can we launch an epoch-making product without considering the consequences and impact? Some people suggest using your brain more when encountering problems."

"I support Mr. Xu!"

"I never thought that industrial robots would replace production. This is too science fiction!"

"In the future, will this kind of industrial robot be the most common thing we use when going out? Is the technological era already coming to us?"

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

"Thousands of people have written in blood and begged Mr. Xu to buy more virtual helmets online, but they are impossible to get!"

"It's all because of the professor at Teito University who spread panic information. Now he's slapped in the face. I wonder how that person feels?"

Under the massive supportive comments, the professors and primary school students who had ended up blaming the virtual world seemed to have completely disappeared, daring not to make any more moves.

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

Originally, virtual helmets were becoming more and more popular, and many people chose to strive for development in the virtual world. This made companies engaged in the manufacturing industry very worried, fearing that they would not be able to recruit people and the company would not be able to continue operating.

Now Future Technology is looking to invest in OEM intelligent industrial robots, which is equivalent to bringing them orders and solving the personnel problem.

How could I be in a bad mood?

So almost on the same day, many company leaders immediately went to Binjiang City, hoping to win investment quotas and become partners of future technology.

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

The number of its users is also on track to exceed 20 million.

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

I am worried about future technology plans to promote intelligent industrial robots nationwide.

Question whether it is possible.

After all, this matter involves too much, and they need to deal with it carefully and be prepared to prevent various things.

Xu Lei didn't explain much about this, and just asked Xingtong to pass a detailed data sheet on 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.

I think this may be an opportunity for human civilization to move towards a new level.

It's worth the gamble.

Anyway, as long as we prepare for emergencies in advance, if the intelligent industrial robot solution proves to be unfeasible, we can close the virtual world and let the public return to their original jobs.

There’s nothing to lose by giving it a try.

Of course, this matter made a big fuss on the internal network, and it must have spread to the external network. In addition to attracting the attention of ordinary people, it also attracted more official attention.

Originally, due to the current status and influence of Yanfang and Future Technology, when faced with products that represent the highest technological crystallization of mankind, they would definitely allow them to be launched in the country unconditionally. In order to curry favor with Future Technology, many of them would even start a good relationship with them. Exited the green channel.

Implementing streamlined exemption measures on many handling fees.

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

Mainly, the technological level of many forces is not high, and their development basically relies on production and manufacturing. If people see hope in virtual worlds and virtual games, who will be willing to put in hard physical labor.

This is a serious impact that the country cannot bear.

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

There are bound to be constraints everywhere.

However, 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.

To this end, many powerful parties have held emergency meetings and invited think tanks from all walks of life to formulate response plans.

Washington State.

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

Originally, as the head of the space agency, Hayden should not have appeared on such an occasion, but there were not many core people that Tripp could use, so he could only find some trusted people to discuss.

"General, we must not let the virtual helmet come in. This will shake the foundation." Quevedo, who had a more grumpy temper, couldn't hold it back and took the lead in expressing his views before Tripp could speak.

When he and Tripp tried the virtual helmet, they were really shocked by the technology involved. But at that time, they were all focusing on confrontation. They did not expect that the virtual world and virtual games would produce such a big chemical reaction. They could only They said that the virtual currency system had not been officially launched when they used it.

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

He directly took over the conversation and echoed: "What Quevedo said makes sense, we must be cautious when it comes to virtual helmets."

Listening to the attitudes of the two people, Tripp slowly raised his gaze, with a wry smile under his frown: "We have no choice. The layout has been started since Xu Lei proposed to conduct confrontation exercises in the virtual world. ”

"Commander, you mean..." Hayden and Quevedo both looked surprised.

Seeing this scene, Tripp didn't deliberately show off. He immediately got up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, explaining the two people's doubts with a deep sense of powerlessness.

"If my predictions are correct, these are all plans that have been made for future technology. From virtual helmets to smart industrial robots, they are trying to completely control our lifeblood."

"Just imagine."

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

"But if the virtual helmets are refused entry, not only will the public protest, but Yanfang and Future Technology will definitely take measures. This time we will lose completely!" As he said these words, Tripp His eyes also seemed to have lost their sparkle, giving him the illusion of being instantly older.
