Chapter 343: I'm Selfish For the sake of humanity
Wu Hao glanced at the reporter, then shook his head and smiled: "No, as an enterprise and a factory, our biggest task and responsibility is to liberate productivity and improve production capacity.
Since the Industrial Revolution, more and more machines and equipment have been put into production, which not only liberates a lot of productivity, but also replaces the work of many workers.
With the advancement of technology, more and more factories are constantly updating machinery and equipment, greatly increasing production capacity. At the same time, the number of workers used is decreasing, can we say that this is just to eliminate humanity? ”
Asked the reporter rhetorically, Wu Hao continued: "In fact, this kind of fully automated production factory is not our first creation, and there are many famous enterprises and factories before us.
And our factory equipment is just an upgrade on this basis.
For example, in the past, the intelligence of these manufacturing robots may have been only at the level of elementary or junior high school students. And we have made this system reach the intellectual level of college students.
In other words, these devices are no longer simply repeating various production tasks, but have the ability to think and judge and solve problems. ”
"Our country is a country with a large population, but with the advent of the era of population aging, we also have a shortage of labor. If you pay attention to the large-scale recruitment sites in recent years, you can feel that there are fewer and fewer relevant school-age workers. Many companies have a situation where they can't recruit people, or even no one is available.
Because of this situation, our domestic labor costs are also increasing. This also makes many companies have to choose to move out of China to some places with relatively low labor costs.
This intelligent unmanned factory will further alleviate this situation and gradually solve this problem.
In the short term, the investment cost of this intelligent production plant is high, but in the long run it is still very cost-effective.
Especially like this intelligent unmanned factory, it can work 24 hours a day, and one can work for more than 28 days. With the exception of two days of downtime for minor maintenance, the rest of the time was spent in uninterrupted production.
This makes its production efficiency will be greatly improved, and the production volume of a factory in the past for a year may only take a quarter or even less time in this intelligent unmanned factory of the same size. ”
Speaking of this, Wu Hao smiled and said: "This not only allows us to produce products with consistent quality and consistent quality control, but also enables us to provide more affordable and high-quality products for the people."
And such factories are more energy-saving and environmentally friendly, which is an inevitable trend in the future development of factories. ”
Wu Hao's explanation did not stop these reporters, but became more excited. Immediately, another reporter asked: "Mr. Wu, will such a factory defeat other traditional factories of the same kind?" In addition, the entry of these cheap and high-quality products into the market will not have an impact on the existing market order. ”
Wu Hao looked at the reporter who was asking the question, and then pressed his hand at the reporters who were still in a commotion and said, "Everyone is not in a hurry, let's take our time."
As for the reporter's question, to be honest, you are not the first to ask. After several industrial revolutions, after a large number of machinery and equipment were put into production, some people have already asked this question.
Every change, every upgrade will have a shock period, which comes from the collision of new and old technologies and production methods.
But this time is not very long, and philosophers have already told us that nothing old can stop the growth and development of new things, and that new things will eventually replace old things.
In the future, intelligent unmanned factories are the general trend, and no one can afford this. So far, no head of state of a country or region has openly declared that they do not need such modern technology, and such a country and region will eventually have no future.
As for whether these cheap and high-quality products will have an impact on the existing market order, I think there will be a certain impact, but it will not have any serious impact.
First of all, there are seven billion people in our world, and the vast majority of them are not rich, and many of them are even poor. For these people, they need this cheap and high-quality product even more.
In addition, I also believe that the products produced by such machines will never be as good as those produced by humans. The intelligence produced by machines is called a product, and the intelligence produced by us can be called a work of art.
As you can see, all the high-end luxury brands in the world today are basically handmade.
So I think the products we produce are a good complement to the products in the existing market. ”
"But such a factory like this cheap and high-quality products will cause many workers to lose their jobs and even become homeless." A white female reporter said in a slightly critical tone.
Wu Hao looked at her and shook his head lightly and said: "No one can stop the pace of social development, and what stands in front of it is undoubtedly the praying mantis blocking the car, and it will eventually be crushed by it."
From the first machine entering the factory after the industrial revolution to the current intelligent unmanned factory, the process was not smooth sailing, but in the end it developed, do you think it is useful? ”
Wu Hao's words couldn't help but silence the reporters at the scene, and everyone's faces showed worried and pessimistic expressions without exception.
Yes, can this kind of development really be stopped? If you can't stop it, what will you do with humans?
So, a reporter couldn't help but say with a little sadness: "Mr. Wu, what about these eliminated workers, is it really going to be replaced by machines?" ”
Wu Hao shook his head seriously at everyone and said firmly: "No, human beings are the masters of the earth, and they will never be replaced by machines, and they will never be allowed by human beings."
Machines were invented by man, and the meaning of its existence is to help us live a better life. Once it loses that meaning, then it doesn't need to exist.
There is a view that is very extreme, and it has also been opposed and criticized by many saints. That is, machines are always slaves of man, and man is enslaving machines.
From the point of view of universal love, the equality of all beings, this is not right. But from a human perspective, I support this view. I'm sorry, but I'm a little too selfish. ”
Hahahaha...... The reporters, who had just been full of worries, laughed when they heard his words, and the atmosphere of the scene was relaxed.
Yes, the final decision is in the hands of humans, so what are they worried about? However, this advanced intelligent unmanned production factory will eventually eliminate many workers, so what should these eliminated workers do, which makes everyone can't help but focus on him again.
