It was an eye-opener for the firefighters to see the firefighting robot flexibly carry out their daily training.
"Wow, is technology so advanced now? Robots are so flexible!"
"Will they secretly destroy us?"
"Have you watched too many science fiction movies?"
"I mean malicious commands. If you look at the captain's command, they can move. What if some hacker hacks it and attacks us in turn?" A firefighter has already imagined the scene of fighting the robot.
The captain hit him on the head with a chestnut and cursed: "What are you thinking about all day long? This kind of firefighting robot uses quantum information communication. Today's hackers can't even get into the quantum information network!"
"Besides, this is a rescue robot. Its core program is to save people. Even if there are malicious instructions or behaviors that hurt people, it will stop in an emergency. Do you understand?"
"Oh! Captain, it looks awesome. Can it be rescued on the spot?"
The captain said: "I don't know, isn't this an experiment given to us by the higher ups? But when we go on missions, don't count on robots, we still have to rely on ourselves!"
In the next few days, the fire brigade went on missions and brought fire-fighting robots with them, but there was no chance to try them out. Because they are all trivial matters, such as asking someone to look for the cat if someone’s cat is lost; the security door of a resident’s home is broken and he is locked in the house.
A week has passed and the firefighting robot has not been put to use even once. The firefighters can't help but wonder whether this firefighting robot, which is said to be worth millions, is just a decoration? There is no need for this big task, and it is not needed for small tasks! It's better to have a fire-fighting dog, and you can still amuse the dog when you have nothing to do.
…
On the other side, in the parts production plant of Pengyun Automobile, a week's production comparison experiment has ended, and the executives are comparing the production conditions of the industrial octopus production line and the worker production line.
Both the senior management and the workers were waiting nervously.
For senior executives, if the industrial octopus is feasible, then a storm of fully automated production is coming, and many types of work can be performed by the industrial octopus—provided the cost is not too high.
For workers, if they can be replaced by robots, they may face unemployment in the future.
In the conference room, the senior executives gathered together to listen to the chief engineer's report.
"After our testing, the outcome is already clear." the chief engineer announced. "The product qualification rate data is 85.6% for the worker group and 95.1% for the industrial octopus group."
After hearing this data, they can still understand that the precision of artificial intelligence cannot be compared to that of machines.
"Then there is a comparison of output." The chief engineer said, "The output of the industrial octopus group is 1.8 times that of the manual group, and 3.2 times our regular production speed!"
This time, the labor team is all selected skilled workers, and they work in three shifts, with production running 24 hours a day. But in front of the two most important data, both were defeated by the industrial octopus, and it was clear at a glance which one was better.
The senior executives looked at each other in astonishment, never expecting that the industrial octopus could do better work than human operators!
The factory director thought for a long time and said: "Don't reveal this news to anyone! Otherwise, it will dampen the enthusiasm of the workers!"
It is conceivable that workers would panic about being laid off if they knew that the industrial octopus could take their jobs.
"Actually, there is another comparison." The chief engineer said, "In terms of cost, within three to five years, the cost of using manual labor is much less than that of industrial octopus. But in the long run, in eight or ten years, the cost of using industrial octopus will be much lower than that of industrial octopus." It’s more cost-effective.”
Senior executives all nodded. Although robots are convenient, their high cost is something that operators must consider. That's fine. Some very important positions that are difficult to recruit can be left to industrial octopuses.
Most workers can still work normally, which can reduce the impact of machines on their jobs. From a long-term perspective, low-end jobs will slowly be replaced by machines, but with them, new jobs will also appear, such as machine maintenance and management. The social problems brought about by this change , it’s time for the top government officials to consider it.

In Yangcheng, the fire brigade equipped with fire-fighting robots, the firefighters were eating in the cafeteria when an emergency announcement suddenly sounded.
"Emergency notice, there is an emergency fire in Yinlong Building. Please rush to the rescue immediately."
"Emergency notice, there is an emergency fire in Yinlong Building. Please rush to the rescue immediately."
Upon hearing the announcement, the firefighters put down the dishes and chopsticks, rushed out, and quickly carried equipment to the rescue site.
The first fire truck set off soon. In the car, the captain shouted on the communicator: "Everyone, be mentally prepared. The location of this accident is on the 25th floor of the Yinlong Building office building. High-rise rescue is very difficult! "
"We'll be there in a minute. Team 1, please quickly bring your equipment to the upper floors to detect the disaster and make rescue attempts! Team 2 is responsible for evacuating the masses to avoid burns, tramples and injuries from falling objects; Xiao Li, contact the traffic control department , carry out traffic control..."
The captain arranged the tasks one by one, and the fire trucks rushed to the scene.
At the scene, near the Yinlong Building, there was already a mess. From the high-rise buildings, you can see black smoke filling the sky and flames shooting into the sky.
This kind of high-rise fire is the most troublesome. If it is a low-rise building, people can be evacuated quickly. But in this office building, there are hundreds of companies of all sizes, and countless employees.
After the fire broke out, there was smoke and screams everywhere. People rushed to the lower floors to escape, and it was chaotic.
Near the high-rise buildings, there are people who are not afraid of death and are taking pictures with their mobile phones.
"Boys, did you see this? Just behind me, the Silver Dragon Building is on fire! It's so scary. You can't even run from such a tall building!" There was a guy filming a video. The firefighters got out of the car and dragged him away. .
"Warning line! No one is allowed to go near the warning line. Team 1, evacuate the people in the building quickly!" the captain shouted into the communicator. The situation at the scene was complicated and difficult to handle. Fortunately, the traffic control and public security departments rushed over. to help with guidance and rescue.
"Captain, for safety reasons, the power supply to the building has been cut off. We have to climb the stairs." The firefighters reported the situation.
"Speed! Time is life!"
While the captain was speaking, the firefighters had already rushed up to more than 20 floors, carrying firefighting equipment on their backs.
Downstairs in the Yinlong Building, reporters who heard the news also arrived, and the local TV station broadcast the fire live.
"We can see that the fire is still spreading from the 25th floor to the 24th, 23rd and 26th, 27th and 28th floors of the mall. As far as we know, the Yinlong Building has a total of 34 floors. If the fire continues to spread, it will It will cause huge casualties and property losses! Now we can only pray for the people in the building and hope that our fire officers and soldiers can rescue them safely!”
