Chapter 297 [Arnold Stewart]
The audience was greeted with applause, some were excited about the advancement of technology, some were excited about the birth of this new trend, and some were worried about it.
The people who are worried are the couriers of more than 3 million and takeaway riders of more than 4 million nationwide. When they saw the eighteen-minute demonstration, the scenes like science fiction were reflected into reality, and after marveling at the subversion brought by technology, a large number of netizens on the Internet immediately entered a pen-tricking battle.
One side is a supporter of technological change, the other side is an opponent, and this group of people is centered on takeaway riders and couriers. After all, this is a major event that concerns their professional job. Once no one delivers it, takeaway companies of major logistics companies will enter an unprecedented trend of layoffs. For their group, unemployment is inevitable.
At the press conference, Gu Cheng had long expected that this controversy would follow. After a moment, his voice resounded throughout the audience:
"I don't want to avoid the impact of the smart solutions launched by Tianqing Technology on the food delivery industry and logistics industry practitioners. There are now seven or eight million couriers and food delivery riders nationwide. Unmanned logistics will not be completely replaced, but it will also basically replace it."
"Automation and unmanned are the general trend. In the process of industry transformation and upgrading, for practitioners, it is not about reducing positions, but about changing positions. Smart logistics solutions will also create a new and huge advanced industrial chain from the bottom up, and there are also thousands of new positions in urgent need of staff."
"Changing positions means changing the knowledge and skills learned. This is a huge project, and only our country can do it. In the foreseeable future, the situation of large-scale night schools may appear again. The industry transformation and upgrading will cause pain, but it will also be short-lived. The trend of the times is unstoppable. It will not stop because of a group of vested interests. The key is that you have to take the initiative to adapt to the new environment, and the only way is to seek change."
As soon as the press conference ended, Tianqing Technology's first pop in the new year became the focus of the current focus, and it also triggered a hot topic of national discussion. The 18-minute unmanned logistics demonstration video was frequently reprinted online, and the click rate was also rising.
The online pen-tripping war is becoming more and more popular. Unlike in the past, the smart logistics solution launched by Tianqing Technology this time has made people living in the present realize that this is not just the express delivery industry and the takeaway industry. The technology is changing with each passing day and is constantly developing, and no one can stay out of it.
This is also the most important reason for the hot topic. People are becoming more anxious, fearing that the next technological turning point will affect their industry and then face the risk of unemployment.
Nowadays, couriers and takeaway riders have not been around for many years, and they have entered the sunset industry. Strictly speaking, it is an industrial upgrading, but for most couriers and takeaway riders, it is the sunset industry.
Although the pilot is currently only being carried out in Changfeng District, millions of couriers and deliverymen are now extremely anxious.
All signs indicate that the eighteen-minute demonstration video is a reflection of the future pictures.
However, Gu Cheng and Tianqing Technology, major corporate partners, including relevant departments, have also prepared a buffer window for the future of millions of couriers and riders. Millions of people suddenly lost their jobs, and the country is unwilling to see this happen.
There are only two points to solve this problem. On the one hand, it is to guide industrial transformation, and on the other hand, it is to provide a certain buffer. This is also the reason why robot delivery has not been launched for the last 100 meters of door-to-door delivery.
However, it is inevitable for major logistics companies to lay off employees. They adopt the method of elimination at the last place to leave technical talents. For practitioners, if they want to avoid being eliminated and successfully transition to their secondary positions, they must learn new knowledge and skills.
In terms of smart logistics solutions, Gu Cheng did not spend too much energy. In comparison, the "Star Plan" is what he is concerned about, and nothing is more important than the pioneering of the Age of Discovery in the Universe.
While Gu Cheng made drastic efforts to climb technology, other people on the earth were also not idle.
...
March, Germany, Lower Saxony, Göttingen.
Elon Musk suddenly came to Germany. He was not here to visit, but for the development of the "Leviathan" rocket by spaex, Lockheed Martin will provide controlled nuclear fusion for the "Leviathan" rocket, but there is still a shortage of a leading researcher with a fusion engine. He can't find a suitable person to do it through the United States.
In the end, Villa Lopez recommended him a new generation of German scientists, Arnold Stewart, who was only 26 years old.
If the most dazzling person in Asia is Gu Cheng, and the most dazzling scientist in North America is Villa Lopez, then the most popular German in Europe in the academic world is Arnold Stewart, who is enough to be regarded as a new generation of genius in the academic world.
Elon Musk went straight to the University of Göttingen when he arrived at his destination. Arnold Stewart is currently a professor of physics at the University of Göttingen.
...
At this moment, in a classroom in the university, there are more than 20 students scattered.
The person who was teaching was Arnold Stewart, who was only as old as these students.
"We know that rocket engines require two things to work, one is energy and the other is working fluid." Arnold Stewart, wearing a suit, looked at the projection screen in the classroom. He stood on one side, inserted his pants pocket with one hand and a small remote control with the other.
"General chemical energy rockets provide both the energy for propulsion and act as the working fluid for propulsion. This seems to simplify the structure, but according to the law of conservation of momentum, the specific impulse of the rocket is proportional to the speed of the jet working fluid, and there is an upper limit for the speed of the chemical energy rocket to jet working fluid. In theory, energy and working fluid can also be separated."
At this time, a student wearing glasses spoke: "Professor, is the Chinese Tianblade fighter a fusion engine?"
Upon hearing this, Arnold Stewart withdrew his gaze, looked at a group of students, and said: "From the published data, it is estimated that the probability that the Chinese Sky Blade fighter has mastered controllable nuclear fusion, and only the energy of nuclear fusion can support the range of the Earth-Moon system. The fusion engine uses the energy generated by fusion and the heating of the working fluid to generate propulsion. Note that the fusion product itself can also be used as a working fluid."
"In the fusion engine, there are three types of energy coming from fusion reactions: one is plasma thermal energy. When the fusion fuel is fusion, the fuel atoms are ionized into high-temperature plasma, which contains most of the fusion energy and is also easy to use energy;"
"One is neutron energy. Fusion reactions or side reactions can produce lethal neutron radiation, which is fatal to humans. It can cause neutron embrittlement and neutron activation of engine components; neutron energy is considered wasteful energy."
"The last one is bremslung radiation energy. When ions in high-temperature plasma collide with electrons, useful plasma thermal energy is converted into useless, dangerous x-ray cooling ions, so this is also considered a waste of energy."
"From the physique of the Tianblade fighter, it is very likely that it is a pure fusion engine that provides the power source."
As soon as the get out of class time was over, the students in the classroom also left one after another. Arnold Stewart was stopped by a man as soon as he left the classroom: "Professor Stewart, Mr. Elon Musk has been waiting for you for a long time. He hopes to meet you as soon as possible."
"Elon Musk?" Stewart looked puzzled: "It's the Silicon Valley madman Elon Musk who yelled on Twitter to have a nuclear explosion on Mars?"
Iron Man of Silicon Valley is still very famous. Some non-professionals in the media have written articles without scientific basis. They all feel funny in the eyes of the academic community, just treat it as a topic of conversation after dinner.
"It's this one."
Although Elon Musk has the title of "Iron Man of Silicon Valley" and many people regard him as a technology tycoon, he is not a real academic figure. Arnold Stewart is very curious about why this person came to him from afar, and he has no friendship with him.
Could it be that I came here to discuss nuclear explosions of Mars together?
Thinking of this, Stewart couldn't help but amused by the sudden thoughts, and then followed the passers-by to meet people. As a super rich man in the world, people come to ask for a meeting, but they must meet. What if they are here to invest in basic scientific research?
