The world enters the age of myth

"The second requirement for the universal factory is artificial intelligence. It requires an extremely high amount of calculation to be able to operate."

"The original S-class artificial intelligence, as the central host of the universal factory, was responsible for coordinating the deployment of these high-end equipment. Now that the artificial intelligence has left and the original database has been erased, it is difficult for us to directly mobilize the universal factory for production. It must be coordinated with powerful artificial intelligence Only with intelligence can we start this machine.”

"The original Bolier civilization did not have artificial intelligence. Even if it got these universal factories, it would not be able to use them."

This is also a fact. If Bolier Civilization can mobilize the productivity of the universal factory, the Unkai will face countless aircraft and cannons. Even in terms of quantity, the Unkai can be killed.

"Hei Shasha should be able to do the job." Lu Yiming asked.

"Yes, Heishasha's artificial intelligence level is A-level, which is enough to control one or two A-level universal factories... However, Heishashahe's database is missing, so it may be more difficult to control these machines. It requires We need the cooperation of a large number of experts, otherwise there will be mistakes in some work.”

Another expert in charge of construction said: "But if Heishasha is responsible for mobilizing the universal factory, she will not be able to undertake the construction of the City of Clouds. She has already arranged a lot of work."

Heishasha’s computing power also has limits.

She is still working hard to build the City of Clouds, and she can no longer spare more computing power to control the universal factory.

"So this work can only be postponed?"

"Yes, after all, the construction of the City of Clouds is more important...the houses must be built first to allow people to settle down."

Another expert raised a point with a serious face: "Also, we must consider the huge impact that future technology will have on the entire civilization."

"Our social form is not enough to prepare for the arrival of future technology."

The productivity of Heishasha is so strong that it can completely keep humans in captivity. Except for researchers and soldiers, most people are actually engaged in ordinary jobs. Artificial intelligence can replace them and do them better.

Now that there is a universal factory, most products, whether mobile phones or computers, can be produced by universal factories with high quality and low cost.

This doesn't seem to be a good thing.

In this case, where does humanity go?

Don’t most people no longer need to work?

"Within 10 years, after we complete the development of the City of Clouds, we will make good use of the productivity in the planetary fortress and develop steadily for 10 years, or at most 20 years, we will reach this point. There is not much population anyway."

This kind of social change is really too big! Unimaginably big.

As a result, everyone here feels a little confused. It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. We no longer need to work, just exploit artificial intelligence and that will be it...

This kind of society sounds wonderful, but in fact, isn’t it a mess?

"Is communism about to be realized soon..." Lu Yiming sighed, thinking of the "Akara Civilization" that was overthrown and promoted. This civilization was rapidly dulled by the leap in productivity.

There is also a similar crisis on the Sea of ​​Clouds.

This is only an initial leap in productivity, not a leap to the level of interstellar civilization. But he still had a vague crisis, which was different from the past and originated from within.

"I think we can completely distinguish the production activities of the people from the production of Heishasha and Universal Factory." Lu Yiming thought for a while and said: "It is impossible not to use this kind of powerful productivity. We don't need to Stop eating because of choking."

"But for private welfare, it needs to be controlled for the time being."

"Before the people's comprehensive quality makes a great leap forward, all the universal factory production capacity should be used for national defense construction, scientific research work, and the construction of underground bases. In this way, it will not impact the normal market environment. People's lives will also It won’t be affected.”

Ding Yuan nodded, "But this is just a temporary measure and cannot last long."

The people's pursuit of a better life is spontaneous. It is impossible to cover up such a huge production capacity. If some people know about it, they will always have some special ideas.

Human nature is inherently lazy. How many people are willing to work spontaneously? With the huge production capacity of the universal factory, the government can distribute 1 million yuan a month, allowing you to spend and play as you like, and there will be no inflation in the entire society. Who doesn't want to live this kind of life? !

A few years are enough to manufacture airplanes, cannons, and ships...

The construction of the City of Clouds will only take a few years.

Then, how should this huge production capacity be used? Doesn’t it have to be used for private consumption?

A trap called "lazy" slowly unfolds, and people can't help but jump into it and turn into ashes.

Listening to everyone's discussion, some of the belated observers couldn't help but feel their scalps numb and goosebumps appearing all over their bodies.

This is a common technological trap encountered after development reaches a certain level!

If you can't make it, go and die!

"Hey, for now... the production capacity of the Universal Factory is not suitable for intervention in the normal consumer market. There are still a few years left."

The discussion could not produce a good solution, so the topic could only be put aside temporarily and dealt with according to the point of view proposed by Lu Yiming.

Next, after all assets were counted, each expert group came on stage and carefully planned the next work process.

The project volume of the planetary fortress has greatly exceeded the current infrastructure capacity.

Ms. Heishasha owned by the Unkai is only an A-level artificial intelligence, not an S-level. It is very difficult for her to control the operation of two or three universal factories. It is impossible to control six.

And Heishasha now has to manage cement plants and steel plants, and build houses for people. Heishasha's calculation capacity is also limited, and it is impossible to engage in the excavation of planetary fortresses.

"Therefore, the development of planetary fortress can be ignored for the time being. It can only be considered if it has a population of at least hundreds of millions and the technological level reaches the early stage of the interstellar era."

"We are currently planning the development of 96 underground mines. These mines can dig out almost all rare earth resources and metals. Coupled with the dismantling and smelting of scrap robots, the demand for resources can basically be met."

There are no metal resources on the surface of this planet, which does not mean that there are no metals deep underground. It is just that the pressure deep underground is too great, making it troublesome to dig, and the yield is not very high.

However, with Xia Wenming's digging tools, we can still dig some.

"There are also plans to build four emergency evacuation centers. Each evacuation center can accommodate one million people for emergency evacuation and can withstand a nuclear bomb strike with a million-ton equivalent."

These are all very reasonable projects. After Ding Yuan finished introducing these tasks, there was sparse applause in the conference room.

In addition to excitement and joy, people also seemed a little worried.

An inexplicable problem that has never been considered appears before everyone's eyes: The production capacity is too large, and most people's jobs will be eliminated. What should we do?

…

Next, Comrade Lu Yiming took the stage and introduced to the plenary meeting representatives the major military projects that need to be constructed in the next year.

All citizens are about to move to the City of Clouds, and safety issues cannot be ignored.

"...The construction of the defense engineering system on the outer ring of the central island is 30% complete. After reaching 50%, ordinary people can officially live in the City of Clouds. However, we must be deeply vigilant that leaving the refuge For shelter, the safety factor is still greatly reduced."

"This is inevitable."

The population of the Sea of ​​Clouds Shelter is highly dense, with a room just a step away, and a psychic shield laid inside. Once there is any disturbance, it will be discovered immediately, and the army will arrive in the shortest possible time.

The City of Clouds has a vast area. Even when it was planned, it was designed to be densely populated. However, it is impossible to lay out all the psychic networks on the 6,000-square-kilometer island. After all, it is different from a refuge.

The army's response speed cannot be as fast as that of the Unkai...

"So, as everyone's life becomes more comfortable, the safety level must have dropped. This cannot be ignored."

Lu Yiming paused, took a sip of water, and then said: "There are some solutions, such as speeding up the construction of psychic networks, developing third-generation strengthening potions, improving the overall quality of human beings, increasing the density of surveillance cameras, etc. …”

"These take a lot of time."

Everyone likes an open living space. With such a large piece of land, it is impossible to live in the Sea of ​​Clouds without development.

People cannot stop eating because of choking.

"Our total army of 12,000 people is still a bit small. We are a bit stretched in terms of manpower..."

Lu Yiming reported on some of the difficulties currently encountered, "As for the permanent military presence on the central island, it is 6,000 square kilometers. There are 6,000 permanent military personnel, which is not many, or even slightly less."

Most of the 6,000 square kilometers of land is deserted, and some areas are planted with food and cash crops. All of this can be done by Heishasha with robots, which does not consume much manpower.

Therefore, the six thousand soldiers only need to focus on taking care of the territory of the Sea of ​​Clouds.

"As for the other six thousand people, they need to patrol various islands on the entire planet and clean up monsters. There is also a slight shortage of manpower."

"About conscription..."

"Conscription...absolutely not possible!" Ding Yuan quickly shook his head in opposition.

Among the 300,000 people, 12,000 are soldiers, and 4% is not a small number.

Now all enterprises are short of manpower. If more soldiers are recruited, the work speed of other projects will be reduced a lot, and the population ratio will be imbalanced. It is impossible for most people in a society to be soldiers. This is not normal.
