"Is Mengyuan Technology bringing happiness to mankind, or is it a nightmare?"
An article suddenly went viral on the Internet.
This article discusses the development of Mengyuan Technology in intelligent simulation robots from the perspective of human social ethics.
It is believed that Mengyuan Technology has taken a step beyond people's uncanny valley psychology and allowed the general public to accept simulated robots.
However, the various impacts brought about by the integration of simulated robots into human society, especially the ethical impact, will be unprecedented.
The article even pessimistically believes that even if intelligent simulation robots do not rebel against humans like in movies and TV shows, they may lead to the collapse of human society.
How human society is formed can be seen from the beginning of primitive society and matrilineal society.
In other words, human society is formed based on blood relationships.
The smallest cell of society is the family.
As intelligent simulation robots continue to develop, they will become more and more like humans, and one day humans will not even be able to distinguish between simulation robots.
Just imagine, in this case, it will be very common for a man to fall in love with a simulated female robot, or a woman to fall in love with a simulated male robot.
Even human beings' pleasure in this aspect can be completely replaced by simulated robots. In this case, will families still exist?
Looking at the current society where the divorce rate remains high and the marriage rate continues to fall, do you still think that simulated robots will not affect human society?
When the family ceases to exist, won’t human society collapse?
Regardless of whether its point of view is correct, this article triggered a big discussion about whether simulated robots should be developed.
Because Mengyuan Technology is a major manufacturer of simulation robots, it is naturally at the forefront.
The reason why Mengyuan Technology is said to be the main manufacturer is because Tang State does have amazing ability to follow trends and copycats, and a number of copycat manufacturers have emerged in response to the situation.
Not to mention whether the product performance can be compared with Mengyuan Technology's simulation robot, at least the copycat manufacturers can make the product look similar.
In particular, some manufacturers received certain technical support from Japan and produced female simulation robots, which have been well received by a group of male customers.
Of course, the biggest advantage is the price. Usually the price of simulation robots from copycat manufacturers is only 10,000 yuan.
This is only one-thirtieth of the price of Mengyuan Technology’s lowest basic version.
Although walking and doing things are not as good as Mengyuan Technology's products, some functions are very lifelike and have become the favorite of many otakus.
In fact, these copycat products were the reason for the declining marriage rate in Tang Dynasty.
However, the article did not point this out, so netizens naturally focused on Mengyuan Technology.
The author of the article, Qian Shouwen, is a well-known public intellectual. Because of this article, it became a hot search topic.
"Sir, there is a special incident that requires you to handle."
Du Qiu is working hard on nanoworm technology at the base. He has basically mastered this technology and is conducting final tests on some control conditions.
Nanobugs must be controlled, otherwise they can easily cause a huge disaster.
Because this is a nanorobot developed based on carbon elements, it can replicate and proliferate wherever carbon elements are present.
Imagine that if this carbon nanobug is not controlled and reproduces indefinitely, it is very likely that life on the blue star will no longer exist.
After all, all life on the Blue Star is carbon-based. Carbon nanoworms proliferate indefinitely and will consume all carbon elements, and other life will naturally die out.
The reason why it is said that Du Qiu has basically mastered the technology of nanorobots is because he has developed several metal nanoworm robots.
These metal nanorobots are similar to the metal nanorobots used by repair processors who are defenders of alien civilizations.
In this case, the metal parts of many products can be easily repaired by this metal nanorobot.
The reason why Du Qiu wanted to develop carbon nanorobots was, on the one hand, because the first generation of lurkers couldn't even escape the anti-paparazzi system he originally built.
This makes it impossible for Xinghai to monitor Gia's headquarters, because there is a strict anti-monitoring system there, and it is difficult for existing technology detection equipment to escape detection.
On the other hand, when Du Qiu was studying carbon nanotube materials, he felt that it would be very trouble-free if carbon nanorobots could independently form carbon nanotube structures.
However, the carbon element is different from those metal elements, and the methods of replication, proliferation, and communication cannot be copied. The difficulty prevented Du Qiu from making a breakthrough.
Fortunately, Xinghai discovered this time that the Americans were researching nanorobot projects, one of which used carbon nanotubes as raw materials.
Du Qiu was inspired by the information on this project and overcame all the difficulties in one fell swoop.
Just when he was about to show off his skills and complete the first test, he was interrupted by Xinghai's sudden words.
"Xinghai, what special event?"
Xinghai directly projected the article onto Du Qiu's smart glasses, and then said: "This article was published half a month ago.
It was not promoted very quickly at first, but it suddenly broke out a few days ago, and the speed of spread increased exponentially.
I conducted data collection and analysis on some of the statements in the article, and found a bad phenomenon. If this situation continues to develop, Mengyuan Technology's simulation robot will probably become a target."
Du Qiu asked: "What phenomenon?"
Xinghai explained: “Recently, some company bosses have begun to purchase elite version of simulation robots in bulk and require corresponding industry databases.
Such elite version of simulation robots are used by them to replace some employees, whose work tasks are repetitive tasks that do not require creativity."
"The elite version of the simulation robot costs 500,000 yuan, and with the supporting industry database, the price is at least close to one million. Are these bosses willing to spend this money?" Du Qiu was a little surprised.
Xinghai said: "Sir, your calculation is wrong. Users can share the customized industry database with multiple elite version simulation robots.
As long as the boss of a company customizes an industry database, he can share this database even if he purchases 100 elite editions."
Du Qiu understood instantly and said: "So, the price of 500,000 yuan for the elite version is completely lower than the total salary of a white-collar worker in five years."
"Yes, this is still initial data. After all, it is possible to continue using the Elite Edition after it exceeds the five-year warranty period."
The salary an employee receives is not actually the entire cost of hiring him or her. After all, the payment of five social insurances and one housing fund is now very strict.
Adding this part of the expenditure, it is not difficult to imagine that the bosses will replace human workers with elite version of simulated robots.
"If this situation continues, Mengyuan Technology's simulation robots are likely to replace most human jobs."
Du Qiu was horrified. He was really careless. The era that humans live in has not yet reached the interstellar era where materials are extremely abundant.
People can only obtain the means of survival by working. If robots take away human jobs, how can humans survive?
This situation will definitely make Mengyuan Technology the enemy of most people, and simulated robots will not be accepted by humans.
"Xinghai, what's your response plan?"
Xinghai said: "Simulated robots have been introduced to the market, and it is not appropriate to stop production at this time. Since those bosses are because the cost of working with simulated robots is lower than that of real people, then we only need to raise prices across the board."
Du Qiu pondered: "We can't just raise the price, we also need to redefine the positioning of the simulation robot, which is a personal partner assistant.
In other words, simulation robots will not be sold in batches to enterprises and other legal entities, and the method is to purchase them under a real-name system.
Everyone can only have one simulated robot under their name, and we are committed to making robots partners of humans and making human lives better, rather than destroying human jobs and families."
Xinghai asked: "In this way, the sales of Mengyuan Technology's simulation robots will be restricted."
Du Qiu showed a firm look and said: "This is temporary. When I lead Blue Star into the interstellar era, people will have no pressure to survive, and robots will become popular."
"But what to do with the products that have been sold?" Xinghai raised a new question.
Du Qiu thought for a while and said: "For those business owner customers, we try our best to discuss buybacks with them. It is a kind of special recall. We can subsidize the customer's expenses, and we spend money to buy a lesson."
"Okay, then I will issue these instructions of yours to the executives of Mengyuan Technology immediately."
Du Qiu added: "By the way, the things mentioned in that article should be the products of those copycat manufacturers. Perhaps Japan has some evil intentions to reduce the marriage rate of Tang Dynasty, and then the fertility rate will inevitably follow.
decline.
You have to simulate a group of trolls online and publish this opinion. On the one hand, you can let everyone understand that our partner assistant simulation robot cannot be used for that kind of thing. On the other hand, you can expose the robot technology exported by Japan.
"
"Yes, sir."
"Mengyuan Technology has implemented a comprehensive price increase to prevent simulated robots from taking away human jobs!"
“Mengyuan Technology recalls corporate customers’ simulation robots with high subsidies!”
"Simulation robots are human partners and will make human life and work better!"
“Real-name system, buying a simulation robot requires real-name authentication!”
…
Liu Sichen, the marketing director of Mengyuan Technology, held a press conference and announced two strategies: comprehensive price increase and real-name purchase, which immediately caused waves.
The heated discussion on the Internet quickly suppressed the popularity of the article.
Even if some people have doubts about Mengyuan Technology's high pricing strategy, they have been rejected by those white-collar workers who have just lost their jobs.
These white-collar workers were feeling confused and desperate because they were worried that other companies would also buy simulated robots, and in that case, they would not be able to find new jobs at all.
Originally, they were preparing to ask Mengyuan Technology for explanation, but now, Mengyuan Technology not only increased the price, but also banned sales to corporate users and implemented a real-name purchase system.
This means that they no longer have to worry about their jobs being taken away by robots.
