Black technology: a super empire spanning two worlds

Chapter 316 [In certain industries, it is possible for it to fulfill its role as a means of production]

If the product "Flowing Star Language" were truly a means of production, Xiao Yu would never have sold it for such a low price. If the price of 11299 yuan were to reflect the characteristics of a means of production, it would be a truly earth-shattering price shock.

After a while, Xiao Yu said, seemingly to himself, "The production means attribute of the humanoid robot product 'Flowing Star Language' means that, at the current stage of productivity, it cannot be expanded indiscriminately into various industries. This point must be fully understood."

Zhou Chengyang nodded again: "Understood."

If robots replace the jobs that support the working class, it's fine if there are solutions to properly resettle them. But if there are no solutions, there will definitely be chaos, and the larger the unemployment group, the bigger the chaos will be.

Xiao Yu suddenly changed the subject and added, "But in certain industries and sectors, it can fulfill its role as a means of production."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chengyang immediately looked at Xiao Yu and asked with a hint of curiosity, "Mr. Xiao, which specific industry are you referring to...?"

Xiao Yu tapped his knee with his finger: "For example, as you mentioned before, the owner of the bathhouse wanted to use the Flowing Star Language lifelike dolls to replace human technicians, or those who open sex doll experience centers. These niche industries can use the Flowing Star Language lifelike dolls as a means of production."

Upon hearing this, Yun Shu and Zhou Chengyang were both stunned, quite surprised by Xiao Yu's words.

A moment later, Yun Shu, who was the first to react, turned her head and stared intently at Xiao Yu, saying with great confusion, "How come it's the sex and entertainment industry? Isn't this just a cyber academy?"

Xiao Yu calmly said, "It is precisely because of the characteristics of the entertainment industry that it is most suitable at present, and it is the most positive and meaningful application area as a means of production at this stage."

Zhou Chengyang couldn't help but say, "I'm a little confused, President Xiao. Will the relevant national authorities allow large-scale applications in these areas?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu calmly replied, "Why does the country resolutely prohibit prostitution? Why can't the sex industry be legalized? Because under the guise of legalization, human trafficking groups spread like poisonous vines, and the sex industry is often closely linked to various criminal activities."

“Crimes such as drug trafficking, robbery, human trafficking, and illegal organ trading not only threaten personal safety but also affect social order and stability.”

"Moreover, sex workers lack protective measures when providing services to clients, resulting in an extremely high risk of disease transmission. For example, the HIV infection rate is much higher than that of the general population, which poses a serious threat to public health."

The desire for dryness and astringency is the most primitive intrinsic driving force of carbon-based organisms. For thousands of years, it has been proven that no matter how strict the measures are, even shooting someone on sight, they cannot eradicate it.

But today, this problem, which has remained unsolved for thousands of years, has a solution. Even if it cannot be completely solved, it can at least solve more than 80% of the problem.

Xiao Yu glanced at the two of them and said with a smile, "When the 'Flowing Star Language' sex doll enters the entertainment industry as a means of production, it will have an unprecedented impact on the traditional model of this industry. It can be described as a dimensional reduction attack on its traditional model."

Cyber ​​sex shops compete with underground brothels, and cyber sex dolls compete with human sex workers. While they may not completely replace the latter, they have essentially replaced more than 80% of them.

Putting aside other things, just the fact that cyber-themed sex shops can operate openly and legitimately, while they dare not be exposed to the light of day, is a huge competitive disadvantage for them.

Upon hearing Xiao Yu's explanation, Zhou Chengyang and Yun Shu both suddenly understood the significance of it.

A moment later, Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Once this creates a huge crowding-out effect on human sex workers in this industry, a series of related criminal activities such as human trafficking, drug trafficking, and organ trafficking will also be severely impacted." When cyber-sexual sex robot beauties capture 80% of the market share in this industry, it means that 80% of human sex workers will have to find other ways to make a living and find a legitimate job.

Xiao Yu looked at the two and added, "Just do the math. How much public budget expenditure and security costs will be saved? In the past, huge public budget expenditures were spent on rectification campaigns. In the future, a large amount of funding can be saved, and a series of related criminal activities will also be greatly reduced. Furthermore, opening a cyber-themed sex museum can also promote consumption, boost GDP, and stimulate surrounding consumption."

Finally, Xiao Yu concluded: "In short, if the product 'Flowing Star Language' were to enter other industries at the current stage of development, it would have huge negative effects and cause chaos. However, in the sex industry, the opposite is true. It can greatly reduce the space for criminal activities, making the benefits outweigh the drawbacks, and in fact, the benefits far outweigh the drawbacks."

"I understand..." Zhou Chengyang nodded repeatedly to himself. After thinking about it carefully, it was indeed as the big boss had said.

After a moment, Zhou Chengyang looked at Xiao Yu and couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Xiao, have you already discussed this matter with the relevant departments above, and have you received their approval? Do they support doing this?"

Xiao Yu nodded silently upon hearing this, and Zhou Chengyang immediately wore an expression that said, "I knew it."

However, at this moment, Xiao Yu looked at Zhou Chengyang and reminded him: "Just keep this to yourself, don't shout it out everywhere, especially don't say in public that the country supports it. The country would never openly and explicitly encourage or support something like this."

After all, a nation must consider morals and customs. To openly encourage and support such things would be a loss of national dignity, improper, and inappropriate.

Moreover, this rather special industry track doesn't need encouragement or support at all; simply allowing it to be done is already a powerful form of support.

Zhou Chengyang quickly replied, "Don't worry, I definitely understand."

Xiao Yu nodded with satisfaction and said, "For buyers in the sex and entertainment industry, there should be strict constraints on them. Cyber ​​sex experience centers are an emerging phenomenon, and there are currently no clear policies to regulate and standardize them. In the future, with social development and the improvement of the legal system, relevant policies may be introduced to regulate them more specifically."

"The lag of the law must be fully recognized. At this juncture, although it is said that anything not prohibited by law can be done, it does not mean that anything not prohibited by law can be done recklessly. If it is not restrained and regulated, given the classic Chinese tradition of chaos when things are left unchecked, this stage will inevitably be a state of rampant disorder."

"As the brand owner, manufacturer and distributor of Liuguang Xingyu, Likang Technology must establish strict standards and regulations. If buyers act recklessly, such as allowing minors to enter the experience center, the company can unilaterally cut off their internet access. These rules must be written into the agreement during the procurement process. If the agreement is not agreed upon, the product will not be sold."

These issues are actually quite easy to resolve, because the product "Flowing Star Language" is very special. Its core technology requires the integration of intelligent AI. Rather than expecting merchants to follow the rules, it is impossible to directly write programs into sex dolls to prevent them from being used.

For example, if the system detects that a customer is under 18 years old, it will trigger a procedure that will force the provider to refuse to provide the relevant services, leaving the buyer with no recourse.

Xiao Yu picked up his cup, drank half a cup of water, and then added, "In general, we can't create a chaotic situation that forces relevant departments to intervene and implement a blanket ban."

Zhou Chengyang nodded repeatedly and said, "Understood."
