Chapter 531 Technology is advancing and humans are losing their jobs

Robot Andrew and Tmall unmanned supermarkets became popular in the United States for a while, leading the development of the industry.

The Andrew model artificial intelligence robot became popular before it was sold. As of the end of September, on the Kronos industrial sales official website, the number of pre-ordered users exceeded 9 million.Everyone was snapping up the purchases, for fear that the robot Andrew's production capacity would not be enough.

Li Zetian looked at the order quantity and was in a daze. He didn't expect so many users to buy the robot Andrew.

"The appearance of Andrew's artificial intelligence robot is made of steel. It is no different from products such as cars and mobile phones. If it is a robot of Eve's level, the whole world will be in chaos!" Li Zetian mused , "Advanced artificial intelligence robots like Eve cannot be produced casually, the quantity must be controlled!"

After the Chronos industrial conference, in less than a month, 500 million Andrew robots were pre-sold, which really surprised Li Zetian.

"Can the production capacity of the robot Andrew keep up?" Li Zetian called the CEO of Chronos Industries at this time and asked.

The artificial intelligence robot production factory of Cronos Industry not only produces Andrew-type robots, but also "tallying robot" Dabai and more types of robots.

"To keep up, we can produce 700 million Andrew robots every month!!" A slightly deep male voice came from the other end of the phone, "Now 1600 million Andrew robots have been shipped to all parts of the world. Supply demand will be met on October 10st!!!”

"Hmm!" Li Zetian felt relieved when he heard this.

……

On October 10st, the flagship store supplied by Cronos began to sell the Andrew model robot. Users who pre-ordered can go to the flagship store to pick up the goods in person, or wait for the company's express delivery to their door.

However, many people couldn't wait, and queued up at the door of the flagship store one night in advance, wanting to get the robot as soon as possible.

The flagship store of Chronos Industry is very large, and there are rows of Andrew robots standing upright, like a powerful army, which is spectacular.

The users who walked into the store couldn't help being stunned.

"My God, so many robots, it's so spectacular, it almost scared me to death."

"So many robots can form a robot army, it's very cool to take them out!"

"Chronos Industries is also a munitions company, maybe it has developed a lot of military robots in the dark... Oh shit, I suddenly feel shuddering. If there is a powerful robot armed force, who would dare to challenge Chronos Li?"

"The robot army will absolutely destroy any army on the earth!"

"I'm afraid that the robots will rebel in the future, and it will be a tragedy for human beings!"

"Probably not...unless Chronos Li orders it!"

"Ouch, Chronos Li is getting more and more crazy now!!!"

While discussing and sighing, everyone took out the activation code and ID card to activate their own robots.

After multiple encryption methods such as password, fingerprint, iris, face recognition, and voice, the robot activation and identification process ends.Then, under the guidance of the staff, let users have a deeper understanding of Andrew.

In addition, Chronos Industries also provides each user with a detailed robot manual.

"Sir, you must have understood the basic situation of the robot Andrew, you can take him away now! If there is anything you don't understand, you can check the robot manual."

"Okay," one user asked, "oh, by the way, how do I recognize my robot? They all look the same..."

The staff pointed to the chest of the robot and replied with a smile: "It's easy to recognize. You can see that each robot has its own number, which is located in the upper right corner of the chest. For example, the number of your robot is ABC10001."

"Okay, I get it now."

"Okay, sir, I wish you shopping and entertainment. By the way, I would like to remind you that Andrew's robot is also equipped with a voice recognition system. As long as you talk to him more, he will gradually become familiar with your voice."

The users happily took their robots and left from the exit, and these robots followed their masters step by step.

Soon, a large number of robots began to appear on the street, which attracted people to watch.

For several weeks in a row, the sales of Andrew Robot were very hot.

Even if it is a high price of 3500 US dollars, everyone loves it.

Andrew Robot's reputation is overwhelming, and everyone's satisfaction with him is very high.

A Weibo big V user wrote on his Weibo: "Haha, since I bought the Andrew robot, I don't have to cook by myself anymore! Just download the robot chef app, and Andrew can instantly become a top chef in the hotel." Chef! However, downloading these apps requires money. Depending on the chef’s level, the software can be sold for anywhere from a few dollars to several hundred dollars. The price is 250 US dollars, and it collects almost all the skills of Michelin chefs at present! Needless to say, after downloading the software, Andrew’s cooking skills have become super awesome, and I have gained a few pounds now! Woohoo, I Feels like the chefs are dying..."

There are a lot of people who leave messages below.

"Yeah, Andrew is so awesome, he is an all-round butler, he can do everything, great!!!"

"My mother bought me Andrew, so I don't have to worry about my studies anymore. Andrew is smarter than our teacher. Ask him anything, he will know!"

"Take Andrew out, it's super face-saving, and it immediately becomes everyone's focus, haha!"

"..."

Only one month later, Chronos Industries sold a total of nearly 2000 million Andrew robots. After the data was announced, it immediately caused a huge sensation in the industry.

All of a sudden, robot companies around the world have announced their entry into the home robot market. Everyone is ambitious and wants to get a share of the pie.

Over the past month, more than 3000 robot companies have been established in the Silicon Valley area, which is jaw-dropping.Venture capital firms active in Silicon Valley probably invested close to $50 billion.

However, the threshold for robots is very high, and it is not something you can enter if you want to.When the big waves wash the sand, most robot companies will go bankrupt.

Kronos Industry has an absolute advantage, and it will be even stronger in the future. Dare to enter the robot industry without any background, it is simply courting death!
At this time, not only the domestic robot Andrew of Cronos Industries is extremely popular, but also industrial robots are very popular.Every day, factories from all over the world buy robots from Chronos Industries.

It is not difficult to see that the development trend of the future factory is becoming more and more obvious, that is, the unmanned factory! ! !

With the rapid rise of unmanned factories, the number of unemployed people around the world has increased wildly.Among them, the United States is the most serious.

President Gal is having a hard time right now.

Now it's not just Li Zetian's family's problem, but American factories are doing the same thing.

In addition, Tmall's unmanned supermarket has also made a "good start", causing more retail stores to develop towards "unmanned stores".

And near the center of Los Angeles, an Amazon unmanned library was born, firing the first shot of an unmanned library.

President Gal now feels uncomfortable and frightened whenever he hears the word "nobody."

Right now, President Gal's poll ratings are plummeting.

At this moment, Li Zetian made persistent efforts and set his sights on the unmanned vehicle project.

The unmanned vehicle project has been in development for many years, and the technologies involved are quite mature.

In early December, Li Zetian came to Tesla Motors.

"Mr. Li, with our efforts, the California government has passed laws and regulations related to driverless cars!" Tesla Motors CEO laughed.

Li Zetian nodded. The United States is a federal country. The states are almost independent from the federation, so they have independent laws. The governor of California and many congressmen are from his own side, and they want to pass laws and regulations related to driverless cars. is very easy.

"How is the test result of driverless cars?" Li Zetian asked.

"Since last year, Tesla's self-driving cars have been tested during the rush hour in Los Angeles. There have been a total of 8 accidents. However, after improvements, only 1 accident occurred in the past six months."

Only one accident occurred within half a year, which has proved the power of self-driving cars, and even experienced drivers may not be able to guarantee that there will be no accidents within half a year.

The CEO of Tesla Motors said confidently: "I believe that with the improvement of driverless technology, Tesla driverless cars will become safer than our own driving cars! Human beings will be sleepy, distracted, and Looking for speed thrills, but robots don't!"

Li Zetian nodded, agreeing very much.

"In the first half of next year, can we officially launch Tesla's driverless car?" Li Zetian asked.

"Yes," the CEO of Tesla Motors nodded and said, "Mass production should be ready in March next year!"

Li Zetian was overjoyed when he heard the words, and continued: "I will let Uber contact you to order a batch of unmanned vehicles, and provide users with Uber unmanned vehicle taxi service in the future!"

The CEO of Tesla Motors couldn't help being stunned for a while when he heard the words.

Uber's unmanned car ride-hailing service, what about Uber's drivers?Should they be fired?

Thinking of the unmanned Uber cars all over the world will be popular in the future, and Uber drivers will lose their jobs, the CEO of Tesla Motors trembles...
