Digital Life (Absolut01) - Chapter 142

[One hundred and forty one.]

After the 141 resistance

India-Pakistan war was basically over, the whole world seemed to become quiet all of a sudden.

Diplomatic negotiations are never as exciting as wars, and naturally attract much less attention from people.

The media turned war into a show, and digital totems turned war into a game.

A lot of people say so.

During the entire Indo-Pakistani war, Digital Totem received orders of more than 300 million US dollars from Pakistan, and, due to the state of emergency of the war, these transactions were paid directly to the goods.

And also because of the state of emergency, Pakistan’s sensitivity to price has disappeared a lot, and these orders are in the style of digital totems, and more than half of them are pure profits.

Lu Zhenyu couldn’t get taller.

As an arms dealer, he should still be qualified. He doesn’t know, and he doesn’t want to know how his things make others bleed, but he does know that those kill numbers are indeed converted into his own hands. The attractiveness of things to others translates into orders, into ever-changing numbers on bank accounts.

But those same casualty numbers, combined with photos and videos at the scene, also turned into a digital totem sin.

In particular, the jaw-dropping campaign, which used the pogo for suicide attacks, was the most attacked.

After all, pet dogs are civilian products, and they are also civilian entertainment products.

When these usually cute little things instantly turned into murderous weapons, many people couldn’t bear it very much.

The pervasiveness of the media has even tracked down those users in the batch number of this digital totem temporary recall.

on the TV.

In front of the cameraman’s camera, a little boy cried and threw the pet dog that was replaced by the second generation product on the ground, telling the audience all over the world that he didn’t want a new dog, he wanted his original wave*, he didn’t want it When his Bo* became a murderer, I believe that many people around the world were heartbroken.

Lu Zhenyu was not feeling well either.

Why can man be the master of all things?

In addition to wisdom, to a large extent it is the rich and delicate feelings of human beings.

And when artificial intelligence.

There are also electronic and mechanical products that are not too far from real creatures in many aspects, and people will naturally project some of their own emotions onto them.

Especially those innocent children.

They think less and think simply.

If it wasn’t a last resort, why would Lu Zhenyu be willing to use Bo *dogs to carry out such a war action?

If it wasn’t for the sake of ending the war as soon as possible, so that he could completely free himself to guide the artificial intelligence back on the right track, why would Lu Zhenyu be willing to show a lot of his trump cards in a war that had nothing to do with him?

Although, these trump cards are known to the country, but.

After all, too many people don’t know.

The spider free man, the intelligence level and combat power of the flea, should not appear on the battlefield of this era.

For Lu Zhenyu, about artificial intelligence and robots participating in the war, he must first communicate with Yue Yu repeatedly.

Regardless of whether the intelligence level is high or low, the intelligence core used by every intelligent machine is ultimately separated from Yue Yu.

Yue Yu, for each individual, can be said to have a leadership.

A detached yet intimate relationship.

If compared to human beings, then every intelligent machine, no matter how low the level of intelligence, can be regarded as a child of Yue Yu.

How could Lu Zhenyu not have any concerns when sending a dog with such a meaning to the battlefield?

However.

Yue Yu easily agreed with Lu Zhenyu’s approach.

He even comforted Lu Zhenyu so that Lu Zhenyu didn’t have to think too much.

“If those dogs are my people, then what are you? Whether it’s those pet dogs, those spiders, those fleas, or even myself, aren’t they all close to you? Connected? My people, and even myself, are your creations. Isn’t it? In this realm. Maybe I can’t govern the whole artificial intelligence and related things and be the king of this realm. But, you For this world, he is an uncompromising god. Do you think I need to be concerned about my feelings?”

“The spirit of ancient Greece is just so degenerate…” Lu Zhenyu murmured.

“Hehe, don’t separate yourself. Even me, it can be said that I have a connection with you. All those artificial intelligence machines have a part of me and a part of you. It’s just that you Credit them to me, that’s all.” Yue Yu said with a small smile.

“Well, for the sake of my great cause, my children have made huge sacrifices. You say that, I feel better.” Lu Zhenyu’s tone didn’t smell much better, it was more like a sigh of relief. ‘s tone.

However, this knot, indeed, really unraveled.

After the Indo-Pakistani war, the business of digital totems was divided into two levels.

The order quantity of genuine spider platform products shows an incredible growth rate.

Since the final assembly of the spider platform is carried out by the digital totem factory itself, although the output has increased now, it is still not enough in one day. To cope with these orders, it is enough for the digital totem to be busy for a while.

In the entire product line, the only one that has experienced a sharp decline is the second-generation mechanical electronic pet series.

Resistance to mechanical pets is taking place in every corner of the world.

In India, mechanical pets have been regarded as spies sent by Pakistan and China into India, and private possession of mechanical pets is already a punishable crime.

While the Indian side’s reaction to the pet dog Po* was a little over the top, it’s understandable given what they’ve been through.

In other countries, under the influence of the media and others, parents are no longer willing to buy mechanical pets for their children as gifts, or other nominal incentives.

Everyone’s reason is simple, they absolutely don’t want their children hanging out with a would-be murderer.

The reason is simple and cruel.

As Lu Zhenyu, the mechanical pet’s efforts to gradually introduce artificial intelligence and robotic systems into ordinary people’s homes have failed completely.

The panic about intelligent machines has even spread to many other fronts.

Even appeared in the Kirin Academy.

Those who do not enter the academy through Kirin.

Different levels of fear were expressed towards the robots, especially the armed spider guards.

Could even these people believe that the so-called popularization of artificial intelligence is the end of mankind?

That was so ridiculous.

For those students, Lv Zhenyu issued a document. Those who feel that they cannot accept the full-intelligence service of the college can apply for withdrawal.

As a digital totem, Qilin Academy and Lu Zhenyu devoted a great deal of effort to the model project, and would never allow unsettled factors.

In fact, the public reaction, although more violent.

But it is also understandable.

And at the cusp of this storm, after several consultations with the top executives of Digital Totem.

Decided to wait.

There is no need to rush to reverse the impression in the public’s mind, and there is no need to spread propaganda on a large scale, as long as you selectively choose some more critical pages and columns in newspapers and magazines, and use column technical articles and articles of the nature of expert commentary to carry out subtle influence.

In any case, intelligent systems and robots have only been around for a while, and public unacceptability is to be expected.

Since the sales of second-generation pets have been affected.

Well, before the public’s impressions turn around, slightly cut back on advertising and publicity.

So as not to get on the muzzle, let the market strategy of the second generation of pets be a little bit low-key.

Anyway, the original profit of this project is not particularly high, it is just a step in the promotion of digital totem and Lu Zhenyu’s personal long-term planning.

Even if there are no pets, there is no profit from this part.

Digital Totem is also a very profitable company.

Since there is no way to open the situation of users of consumer products that are most easily affected by the media, other measures must be taken to detour.

Maybe most people don’t like to take robots home now, so what about professional fields and industrial fields that require cost efficiency?

Presumably, robotic systems are acceptable, right?

Those robots on the assembly line in the past.

Compared with the production technology owned by digital totem, it is too backward.

If the digital totem produces industrial robots, especially multi-functional industrial robots with a considerable degree of flexibility, then this market should still be opened.

Will there be another talk of robots replacing human jobs?

How could it not be?

However, this argument is much better than the argument that robots are murderers, and when more people are exposed to enough robots in the workplace, their aversion to robots in their daily lives is actually weakened. .

At the same time, consider the cost of industrial robots.

It is only possible for industrial robots to replace some human workers in the field of precision manufacturing.

A tiny fraction of the work, and the argument for basically replacing humans is negligible.

at the same time.

Now that intelligent systems and robots have been accepted by the military and become an advanced combat weapon that can be relied upon, this aspect should also persist.

If there is no war, then the meaning of robots in the army is not to kill, but to let more people know and understand robots and intelligent systems.

Even if there is a war, with the current situation, is there a reason not to use robots?

Rather than cramming at that time, prepare now.

At the high-level meeting of the digital group, the topics discussed are completely different from the topics when the company was just established a few years ago. At that time, everyone focused on sales and product development.

Now, many decisions made by digital totems will have an impact on the entire industry.

In just a few short years, these people whose personal importance has risen rapidly, it took a long time to adapt to the change of personal identity.

Sometimes, these senior managers who are very familiar with each other will envy Hang Ying, who is now on maternity leave.

No matter what topic this executive director discusses, he looks like it has nothing to do with him, and still lives his own free and happy life, falling in love, getting married, having children… Although everyone knows that now these people once have a relationship as a couple People with similar identities, they will immediately get a review report on the other party to confirm that the other party is not a spy sent by an enemy country or other forces, and sometimes, they know the level of detail about their own object at that moment. They have passed each other, but it is not easy to meet the right person.

Of course, these were not the problems that Lu Zhenyu had to worry about.

Now that the general policy has been set, the digital totem as an internal efficiency group is surprisingly efficient.

Xun started work.

Jinqiao’s factory has been expanded again.

They acquired another factory building to serve as a demonstration base and testing ground for a new, fully unmanned chemical plant.

The research center also quickly entered the working state, and began to develop a series of products such as general-purpose industrial robots and special-purpose industrial robots.

The design of industrial robots can be said to be very familiar to the staff of the research center.

No matter how high the requirements of industrial robots are, they cannot be higher than military robots that can perform complex tasks in extremely complex terrain environments – spider freemen, and fleas.

The design requirements of industrial robots are to work in general workshops.

Naturally, there is no need for too complicated sports equipment, nor does it need any functions such as climbing.

When carrying out the industrialization of robots.

It was an employee’s idea that gave them new ideas.

Since it can work in a simple indoor environment, combined with some other technologies, it can not only be used in factories.

So the first 24-hour unmanned convenience store was opened in Kylin College. It is probably not very accurate to say that it is a store.

Because the consumption of the students of Kirin Academy is directly calculated by the ID card, there is no cash register in the store.

The entire Kirin Academy.

There is nowhere to use cash.

Robots perform a series of tasks in the convenience store, such as sorting shelves, cleaning the store, removing expired food, and so on.

With the induction lighting system in the store, this will be the beginning of a new sales system.

The question is, are digital totems interested in entering the retail industry?

the answer is negative.

Except that Xun has set up such convenience stores in digital totem locations around the world, Digital Totem has not opened this so-called chain convenience store system to the public market.

However, this system still quickly got everyone’s attention.

In this convenience store retail system, cost control has always been a very important issue.

In addition to the purchase cost.

It is the cost of manpower and store maintenance.

When a robot can fully perform all the work of a convenience store, or even a maintenance worker, no need to change shifts, no pay, no labor relations, plus the entire software and related systems developed by the digital totem for the convenience store system, it is enough. Attractive.

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Zhenyu rejected the systematic requests made by some companies to adopt this convenience store.

Because this system is still too close to the life of ordinary people.

And being too close is not a good thing, at least not now.

However, from this aspect, Lu Zhenyu saw some hope.

Since some people like this form, it might as well add some more forms to try.

Moreover, it can be opened to the outside world to a limited extent.

As a result, digital totem branches are usually opened next to the company, or these stores on the first floor of the company.

Added a service.

Even if you are not an employee of the company, you can also buy an ID card.

Although there is no authority to enter the company’s office area, it can be recharged and consumed in a series of digital totem stores.

Digital Totem has also started to adopt this system in all stores around the world.

In addition, it is a series of derivative applications.

For example, the store series has opened a series of stores with different functions, such as candy shops, snack shops, snack shops and restaurants.

In name, it is open to digital totem employees, but in fact, anyone can join the digital totem consumer service system as long as they feel the need.

Not long after com, Lu Zhenyu suddenly realized that this kind of recharge card in the retail industry is really a good thing.

As for these small stores, many young and middle-aged female employees in the company are very interested in this project. money……

Because the store series is in the hands of female employees and managers, the male employees who dominate the digital totem are more depressed, because the style is not what they like.

Also, many of the things they like are not available in stores.

So, they also came up with their own plan and set up a 1ens series of stores. This series of stores features the sale of office supplies, IT products, photographic equipment, outdoor sports products, etc… Before I knew it, 4 months later , Digital Totem actually set up its own retail service system.

Moreover, whether it is cost management, channel management or the establishment of a near-stock sales system, it has a very good reputation in the industry.

Knowing that the establishment of this series of stores by digital totems is experimental and has no expansion ambitions, the original retail enterprises did not regard digital totems as rivals, but were actively learning the advanced aspects of digital totems in management. place.

The only technology that Digital Totem agreed to sell them was a smart light management system.

Through a series of sensing devices such as cameras, photosensitive elements, etc., automatically controlled area lighting is formed in the store.

Ensure adequate lighting around customers, while most other lights are turned off.

For some large cities, this technology alone can save a large amount of electricity bills a month.
