Chapter 45 Smart City Design Initiatives
The arrival of HP Group is just a small episode. The core project of the big infrastructure plan is cloud computing, which is to establish a set of Internet of Things covering the whole world through ubiquitous sensors and networks.

And if there is no supercomputer, the vast amount of information generated by the Internet of Things cannot be processed, and even the most preliminary smart city cannot be discussed.

This also made it easier for Say's plan to pass, because the plans of Rey Diaz and Hines both involved super-supercomputers, so she moved the project of developing supercomputers to the plans of the two Wallfacers. .

While Say was dealing with related matters in the office, the big infrastructure plan naturally caused a commotion in society just like the previous Fourth Agricultural Revolution.

Because this project requires infrastructure facilities and a large number of electronic devices as the hardware of the Internet of Things, these two aspects have a great demand for labor, and there is no restriction on academic qualifications.

Therefore, a large number of people have undergone simple training, changed their behavior to construction workers or factory workers, and joined the Internet of Things construction project.

The vast majority of them are unemployed farmers, and the reason for their unemployment is because of Say's fourth agricultural revolution. When they have re-employment opportunities, they join without hesitation.

What's more, farmers who lost their jobs due to the fourth agricultural revolution are generally engaged in low-tech agricultural production. Whether they are construction workers or factory workers, their incomes are higher than their previous occupations.

Therefore, farmers have no opinion, and countries are naturally aware of the unemployment and overproduction problems brought about by the fourth agricultural revolution, so they are vigorously promoting the construction of the Internet of Things, and the large-scale infrastructure plan has quickly entered the right track.

Therefore, the unemployment problem caused by the fourth agricultural revolution no longer exists, and because of large-scale infrastructure projects and increased food production, the human economy has ushered in recovery for the first time after the crisis era.

With the support of these two super projects, the Great Depression was completely avoided, which also made Say start to think about the next plan.

Of course, as the proposer of the plan, the smart city and Internet of Things design project naturally invited Say, so she went to the Internet of Things design meeting not long after she sat down in the office.

....
It may be because of the abundant energy brought by controllable nuclear fusion, or it may be the Wallfacers' support for smart cities. Many projects that were originally talked about in the Arabian Nights have popped up all at once.

For example, "Comprehensive Networking of Intercity Public Transport", "Large-scale Popularization of Robots", "Global Autonomous Driving Traffic Network", "Integration of Smart City Functional Control System" and other projects related to smart cities.

Each of these grand plans was originally impossible to propose, but now they have appeared in reports one after another, promoting the development of human civilization.

Including Say himself also took the opportunity to put forward an idea, that is to connect the coordinates of high-voltage fast charging piles and cars to the Internet to create a complete global electric transportation network, thereby promoting electric vehicles to replace fossil fuels.

In this way, the environment can be better protected, global desertification can be avoided, and cheap electricity can be used for transportation, which can also make human civilization develop faster.

But unfortunately, like most projects, her idea also received opposition, and it was not because there were fools looking for trouble, but because of technical limitations.

"So, even if humans develop controllable nuclear fusion, humans will still have to use fossil fuels in the next few decades?" Say asked.

"Chairman Say, let me tell you responsibly that electric-driven heavy trucks are not feasible, and BRT systems in cities and electrification of cars are feasible, but once they expand to the world, it will be impossible," the expert explained. road.

"Why?" Say asked, since it is a technical problem, why can't it break through?
"Because the energy density of lithium batteries and nanowire batteries is an order of magnitude lower than that of fossil fuels, the area of ​​the city is small, the terrain is flat, and the problem of short travel is acceptable." A battery expert in Huaguo said.

"But long distances won't work, unless high-density charging piles are arranged, but according to what you said, the cost will be too high." Sai replied.

"That's right, Chairman Say. In the 90s, lithium batteries gave everyone a hope, but now theoretical physics is locked up by Trisolarans. It's just a dream to increase the energy density of batteries." Another expert continued.

"Then why were Chinese people so interested in electric vehicles before?" Sai asked unwillingly.

"Because Huaguo's automobile engine technology is far behind Japan and the United States, and the quality of their local crude oil is ridiculously poor, but after the three-body crisis broke out, this problem no longer exists."

Naturally, there is no need to explain this. After the three-body crisis broke out, it is theoretically impossible for human beings to fight among themselves. Whether it is the engine or crude oil, it is not a problem.

"What's more, Huaguo is the largest coal mining country in the world, but the controllable nuclear fusion technology has sentenced thermal power generation to death, which means that the coal originally used for power generation will not be used in a few years."

"Among them, there are millions of coal workers involved. In order to keep these people from losing their jobs, they have been using the sufficient power of nuclear fusion to develop the coal-to-oil industry."

Say has heard about this matter a little. It is said that Huaguo proposed to reduce the scale of the coal industry while refining the saved billions of tons of coal into synthetic oil.

"If you count the cheap Middle Eastern crude oil and coal-based synthetic oil, not only Huaguo, but the most indispensable thing for human beings in the future is oil. No one will support long-distance electric vehicles."

"What about the electric field, can you bypass the battery and build a wireless charging field to charge electric vehicles?" Sai thought of the wireless charging technology that the future relies on in the original book.

At that time, Luo Ji thought that humans had mastered the technology of perpetual motion machines, but later discovered that it was because of the abundance of energy sources that charging cables were eliminated by wireless power transmission.

"This energy consumption is astonishing, and most of the energy is wasted in vain. Maybe it can be considered in the future after nuclear fusion power plants are rolled out, but it is impossible to consider in the past few decades."

"Understood." Say didn't continue to entangle, and now the situation is obvious.

After all, Say is not a god. It is impossible for her to promote such a huge project by herself without the support of the nine council members and the PDC.

"Okay, let's get back to the main point. Since you are building a smart city, have you made any progress in artificial intelligence?" Seeing that his plan was temporarily unfeasible, Say began to discuss the construction of the city.
