Chapter 201 - 201 Fatal Problem
201 Fatal Problem
Li Chengqian took a deep look at the female reporter, his eyes cold.
She wanted to use this question to send Li Chengqian into the abyss.
She looked beautiful and sexy, but she was actually after his life.
If he didn’t pay attention, her question might cost him his life.
However, Li Chengqian didn’t panic at all. This was because he had already considered these problems carefully. If he hadn’t considered the employment issues and other social problems that might be caused by the intelligent software, he wouldn’t have dared to announce these advanced software.
“Madam, the question you raised just now happened to be something I wanted to tell everyone.”
“Actually, I know that many people are worried that once automated software is used on a large scale, once automated factories appear in large quantities, many workers will be laid off and many practitioners in related industries will lose their jobs.”
“Without a job, there’s no food.”
“When a large number of workers are retrenched, it will inevitably cause a large number of social problems.”
Li Chengqian’s gaze swept across the auditorium and found that everyone was very solemn. Then, he continued to speak.
“The first point I want to express is that the development of technology is unstoppable.”
“When the steam engine was invented, many people were worried that the steam engine, a monster with immense strength, would take away all the jobs But now, we know that it didn’t happen.”
“When the motor was invented, many people were also worried that they would lose their jobs. Because of the advancement of technology, a large number of ordinary people would lose their jobs. These things didn’t happen either.”
“When computers were invented, many people were worried that these advanced tools would take away jobs.”
“However, the reality is that the appearance of new tools did not take away our jobs. It will only create new jobs.”
“History has taught us that all efforts to stop the arrival of new technology will ultimately fail. The advancement of technology is the direction of history. It’s an unstoppable trend.”
“The intelligent building CAD software will indeed reduce the number of designers, but a new job has already been created, and that is construction and management engineers. Designers can transform into construction and management engineers and to provide one-on-one services to the builders.”
“In terms of mechanical design, the mechanical designers can transform into simulation designers. Although the intelligent mechanical CAD software can design automatically, it still requires a lot of effort by the designer to design advanced and efficient machinery.”
“Of course, there will definitely be a large number of designers who will be eliminated in the popularization of software. However, I’m sure that after the outstanding designers have the intelligent CAD software, they will break away from the repetitive work and focus on pioneering design. They will definitely bring us better products.”
“The second point I want to say is that automated factories will not be popularized for the time being. The automated design function of automated factories will only support the high-tech industry for now. It will not support traditional industries for the time being.”
“According to our professional team’s calculations, in the high-tech industry, automated factories can increase efficiency, reduce production costs, and finally lower the price of products.”
“However, in traditional industries, using automated production will not increase efficiency much. It will in fact increase production costs.” In fact, this was Li Chengqian’s compromise to the current situation.
As the blonde reporter had said, if all the work was done by computers and machines, what would happen to the workers? What would people eat without jobs and a source of income?
When they couldn’t even eat their fill, some terrible things would happen.
This was definitely not an alarmist statement.
Once these things happened, would it be good for Li Chengqian? Would it benefit the Divine Dragon Software Company?
No!
A stable environment and society are the foundations of enterprise development.
This was also the environment that Divine Dragon Software needed.
If the world became chaotic, it would not be good for anyone.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Li Chengqian limited the ability of the automated factory CAD software. The automated factory CAD software provided to the outside world only served technological and capital-intensive enterprises that are not labor intensive.
After hearing what Li Chengqian said, many people heaved a sigh of relief!
Especially Academician Lin Qu. His heart, which was already in his throat, finally relaxed. “Li Chengqian, this kid, did the right thing this time!”
“The world belongs to human beings, and the development of technology is to serve humans If a technology is invented and doesn’t benefit most people, it can only be put aside or used experimentally.”
With his experience, he naturally understood that what Li Chengqian said just now was not the truth.
The production efficiency and cost of automated factories were more advantageous than traditional factories in all aspects.
It was obvious that Li Chengqian had discovered the crux of the problem. The automated factory CAD software looked high-end and was simply unbelievably advanced.
But in reality, this thing was a trap! Other than demonstrating Li Chengqian’s formidable programming ability, it basically didn’t have much purpose.
The automated factory CAD software was too advanced. The other countries would definitely ban the right to use the software exported by the Divine Dragon Software Company.
At the same time, in order to stabilize employment, other industries would definitely not allow the use of automated factory CAD software.
The automated factory CAD software was indeed very powerful, but no matter how powerful the software was, it needed to be put to use!
Obviously, with the current situation in the world, there was no use for automated factory CAD software.
Principal Wu also heaved a sigh of relief in his heart and secretly praised, “Li Chengqian, this kid, not only does he have a set of software development skills, he had a good sense in other aspects as well.”
“This cunning easterner. Isn’t the software he worked so hard to develop to promote and earn money? He actually gave up on traditional factories.”
Li Chengqian’s answer was impeccable. It was flawless.
However, the blonde reporter didn’t believe that Li Chengqian had spent so much effort to develop such a powerful software just to show off.
“This is my answer!” After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he looked at Principal Wu. According to the arrangement, he would only take three questions. There was one more to go.
Principal Wu nodded and looked at the reporters who were raising their hands high.
Li Chengqian looked at his phone again.
Coincidentally, his phone screen lit up as well. A line of words appeared on his phone.
“Project Great Flood officially begins!”
