0369 The Roots of the New Wave of Unemployment and Solutions
The popularity of ei and robots has indeed brought unemployment rates to the peak around the age of shelter. China's "New West Development" and even the Stan Movement are under pressure and promotion.
However, with the end of the shelter era, Star Alliance solved the Stan Movement, the development of the Tongtian Tower Galaxy, the construction of the Fierce Star route and the development of Fierce Star. This series of expansions has led to a continuous decline in the unemployment rate.
Xia Ming has read the report from Unec. In 2042, the industrial distribution of human beings on Earth has taken the prototype of the interstellar era.
Humans have built 22,000 robot factories on the moon, Mars and the asteroid belt, collecting, smelting and manufacturing various primary resources, from metals to organic materials, from hydrogen and helium to nuclear fusion fuel tritium and deuterium, all inclusive.
Although it is a robot factory, it does not mean that workers are not needed.
For example, a comprehensive smelter is a very clumsy large open spacecraft. Generally, an asteroid is selected, docked above, and cut the asteroid with a laser. After cutting, a manned traction spacecraft has to be traction the debris to the ore dressing area of the smelter for crushing and selection. Then, it is diverted to different smelting areas according to the different characteristics of the ore to obtain different finished metal products.
Between the earth and the moon, around Mars, around the asteroid belt and the star gate area, there are thousands of advanced processing plants that receive primary materials produced in space and process them into various advanced materials, even components of mechas, robots, small spacecraft and even large spacecraft, and then transport them to the earth, the tower of the sky and even the scree.
Logistics from resource areas to processing areas, as well as from processing areas to trade areas, must rely on manned spacecraft. In 2042, in addition to other spacecraft for scientific research and military purposes, nearly 100,000 spacecraft are active in the solar system at any time.
Not only industry, but the space agricultural technology accumulated by Star Alliance in Amstar has now been developed in the solar system. Led by Unec and governments, more than 400 space farms and pastures have been built, each farm and pasture can obtain production of farmland and grassland equivalent to thousands of square kilometers.
Space agriculture is still relying on subsidies from unec and governments, as well as the concept of "space" to enter ordinary families. Because the cost of transporting to the surface is much higher, most of the time it only meets the food demand in the space field. However, before Star Alliance, it plunders various countries' stockpiles to meet the recruitment needs, unec and governments increased subsidies, allowing ordinary people on the surface to use space food as an option for daily life.
The primary and secondary industries have already made considerable layout in the solar system, and the tertiary industries will naturally keep up. By 2043, humans will have five large settlements in the solar system, two of which are permanent immigration areas on Mars, with 50,000 immigrants. The other three are large space stations, each with nearly 10,000 residents in the asteroid belt, the Rainbow Bridge and the Star Gate.
Taking these five settlements as hubs, as well as the "intra-system tourist routes" of the moon, Mars, Venus and asteroid belts, 500,000 and 600,000 people are taken to space every month to explore the scenery of the solar system.
The three industries have developed in this way only in the solar system. Outside the solar system, although less than 200,000 people are eligible for immigration in 2042 and go to Am, Valhalla and the Good Hope Star to settle down, the growth rate is very amazing from the specific number to the month. It is expected that by 2044, there will be more than one million immigrants that year.
By the way, Star Alliance has improved the RCS anti-gravity engine technology suitable for human applications, solving the problem of gravity adaptation for humans to move to space. In addition, Yunas rebuilt with the status of the solar system security team, the safety of space life has at least increased the psychological level. By then, Xia Ming believes that the trend of the earth entering the starry sea will lead to a new explosion.
Just now, from the superficial numbers, the employment positions brought by the spaceization of the three industries are only one million, which is just a drop in the bucket to solve the employment problems of human beings on earth. However, the so-called industries all include a whole industrial chain, or even a whole industrial network. The tip of the iceberg in space is just the tip of the iceberg, leading countless new industries on the surface.
Management, control, design, analysis, yes, in addition to logistics, security and special fields, people's jobs are increasingly developing towards mental labor, which is closely related to the popularization of Star Network.
The early star network was just "three points and two lines", consisting of a satellite network with geosynchronous orbit to the Rainbow Bridge, and then hundreds of satellites from the Rainbow Bridge to the Star Gate.
But now, just the star network in the solar system has formed a huge network. Not only are there thousands of satellites orbiting the Earth, Mars or the Sun, every spacecraft and every space station are equipped with a star network module. That is to say, as long as all spacecraft flying out of the atmosphere and entering space (except military spacecraft and warships) will become nodes of the star network.
The construction, management and maintenance of Star Network are far from being done by companies such as Musk. The reason why Unec is becoming increasingly powerful is that it is a very important factor to take over Star Network. For this reason, Unec has hired more than one million management teams and will continue to connect humans entering space into a whole.
There is no need to worry that unec will bear a heavy financial burden for this. In addition to the Star Network fees paid by various countries, any commercial organization involved in space, or even any company involved in Star Network, rather than just trying to limit its business to the surface, will also need to pay fees. "Star Network Certification" has also become the standard for electronic products to enter space.
Based on Star Network, ei and even "The Milky Way", humans on the surface can get various job opportunities without leaving their homes.
For example, robot design, in 2043, there were 17 million designers registered in "Phantom Galaxy", which has exceeded the number of workers in robot factories. Although some of the so-called "robot factories" are still large factories that integrate capital, technology and means of production, more and more are more active, and another architecture is becoming more and more active, which is a distributed enterprise similar to Zhang Yue, which is a distributed enterprise with individuals as the main body.
Using "The Illusion Galaxy" as a platform, designers show their conceptual design on the one hand, and on the other hand, they cooperate with customers in both directions. Customers also adopt bidding form and select works of one or several designers through screening and argumentation. The robot factory is like a general processing platform like a 3D printer, and logistics is responsible for transportation.
From design to delivery, with the assistance of ei, all parties can find the best balance of cost and efficiency, which is equivalent to splitting the past industrial chain links into a flatter and three-dimensional way, with more independent links, with more choices, and more opportunities.
With the expansion of distributed industry, each link is also experiencing a combination from individual to collective. However, this combination is not based on capital as before, with a difference between boss and employee, but only a difference between professional.
It is still robots. In the past, a few designers promoted the distributed industry with individual designs, but with the intensification of competition, it is difficult for a designer to complete all the overall and partial design, testing, adjustment and other tasks alone. So special assembly designers, component designers and testers appeared again. However, their relationships with each other are not like leaders and team members in the past in the company or factory, but are combined based on the professional perspective of product details. Everyone is both a boss and an employee.
The 17 million designers in the robot industry are distributed in various industries such as engineering, military, and medical care. Each robot will gather hundreds of designers, which makes the robot smarter, more capable, and more deeply enter all areas of society.
On the other side of the industry, large sales companies are no longer selling large batches of standardized robots. Designers deliver directly to customers has become the main model. In 2042, 142 million robots were produced in the solar system, and 115 million different types and models were produced.
An important impact of distributed enterprises on society is that they eliminate large-scale commerce, which allows commercial institutions to transform into service institutions. They do not provide after-sales services, but in more cases, social services from producers and customers. They include security-based regulatory services, risk-based financial services, etc.
Robots are like this. All production fields such as cars, brains, and even clothing, and film and television culture are undergoing such innovations. In 2042, the report from unec showed that nearly 300 million people around the world did various product design, information collection, cultural manufacturing, etc. through "The Illusion Galaxy", and their average income exceeded the food and clothing line.
There are fewer and fewer workers, and more and more people no longer work for capitalists, but for themselves. There are fewer and fewer physical labor without technical content. Human beings have begun to move towards the path of using mental labor and exploiting robots as a whole, and the difficulties faced by unec and governments have gradually shifted from employment to social security.
It was precisely because of this trend that the previous mobilization of Star Alliance turned its attention to mild criminals. Through state violence, it plundered more than 10 million social dregs and sent them to space as cannon fodder. That time, the "good sons" who volunteered to join the Space Army had not reached two million, and most of them were assigned to support positions.
Now we need to find more "good family" to enrich the universe army. Xia Ming felt that it would be difficult to rely solely on "volunteering". He did not fully believe what Shang Xin said before. After all, the social situation on the earth will be much behind, and it is difficult for him to see the actual situation through the data for a while. Now Xing Tianmin confirmed Shang Xin's statement and threw the pot to Xinglian, which naturally surprised him.
"Many situations in the past were due to the immature technology and the need for a lot of manual intervention, which led to a brief prosperity." Xing Tianmin was well prepared and brought a lot of practical information: "And, because of Luo Xing's decisive battle, Xinglian's military-industry orders and nearly 20 million people on the road all drove the military industry."
The latter situation is quite accurate. The Star Alliance previously plundered the grain reserves of various countries and sent large orders to arm the rapidly expanding universe army, and to change the costumes of the Fierce Stars and the Qimu people.
However, whether it is guns, space suits, mechas or data terminals, relying on the explosive production capacity of robot factories, this wave has passed. Now Xinglian still has enough individual equipment to arm tens of millions of people. After the final battle, the orders naturally stopped.
As for the first situation, what technology affects employment?
“pei…”
Xing Tianmin smiled bitterly: "In 2041, your Star Alliance released the fifth generation of fire. Although the hardware is not earth-shaking, the software is much more powerful. Now the scientific community believes that the fifth generation of fire has touched the edge of strong artificial intelligence, which makes Pei's simulation of human autonomy more quickly and accurately. What will this result be the most."
Xia Ming's thoughts changed and he also smiled bitterly like Xing Tianmin.
A smart and active person who relies on the fifth generation of fire can do things of three, four, or even five or six people. While a stupid and lazy person, although Pei will overcome his lazy flaws, can only let him do things of two people at most.
Originally, there was still time equality between people. Even if the attitude towards life and the efficiency of time utilization were different, there would not be too much difference between them. But now, if pei magnifies this difference exponentially, it makes people even more unequal.
Take robot designers as an example. When a designer can do five or six people's things, he has an absolute advantage in competition. A capable designer has come forward one after another and eats up the jobs of those poor designers.
Distributed production with individuals as the core will inevitably appear due to the differences in abilities between individuals, and pei will fuel this trend. If social demand does not keep up in time, the losers in competition will become unemployed.
"This era is changing so violently. In the past two years, we could easily find opportunities to make money on the Internet. Now we can only count on social security and relief..."
Xing Tianmin sighed: "The country has just introduced a series of safeguards, with the goal of not having a job in his whole life, the people will have basic food and clothing. This measure is very in place, ensuring social stability, but combining it with the unemployment tide will allow more and more people to escape into the virtual world. This is not a good sign."
This is not just an unemployment problem, but a trend of extreme social differentiation.
Xia Ming asked: "Since the country has been able to ensure that everyone has basic living security, it is not difficult for the state to provide jobs."
"Cost", Xing Tianmin complained: "Let the otakus and otakus stay at home and play games quietly, provide them with living security through commercial and social service networks. The existing pension, education and medical systems can also cover their families, and the costs can still be borne. If the country wants to create jobs, it has to start many new stalls, and this is powerless."
"So, the Star Couplets are here to bear the blame again," Xia Ming said with a smile.
Xing Tianmin said with a shameless face: "How can it be said that it's a pot? Xinglian doesn't want to see humans quickly becoming polarized. I remember that in the era of shelter, your Xinglian almost fell into the virtual world, and the consequences are unimaginable."
At this time, Xia Ming had already read through various solutions to solve the unemployment problem in his mind. He noticed an inconspicuous message, which was proposed by someone when the age of refuge was just over and the earth was struggling in the unemployment tide. But because of the expansion of Star Alliance, the plan was not adopted in the end.
"Do you remember the plan someone mentioned a few years ago?"
Xia Ming sent a report to Xing Tianmin: "That is to change the education system."
Xing Tianmin's eyes lit up: "Extend the education time!?"
"At this time, the country can no longer stop the universal education of consciousness activity, right? Establishing a Preparatory Space Academy to provide reserve personnel for the space industry and the Star Alliance, which should create a huge employment reservoir, which not only alleviates unemployment problems, but also solves the Star Alliance's personnel replenishment problems."
Xia Ming said lightly: "Of course, for the country, this is a further dismantling function, so I don't know what the government is thinking."
"What else can you think? No matter how pedantic or stubborn people are, they should see clearly. The country is now a service agency." Xing Tianmin sighed long and said: "With Star Alliance and unec, the country has not many functions left. I think that in a few decades, the country will be a large community service station."
Hearing the unwillingness in Xing Tianmin's words, Xia Ming said: "There may be a new country in the future, but at that time it should be divided according to galaxies or even star domains. If you are willing, you can make some preparations in advance."
"Let's better solve the problems in front of us. Changing the education system is a long-term solution, but the problems in front of us can also be solved through this framework."
