Chapter 957 - 364: The Interwoven Primary Principle

"The credibility of artificial intelligence is like a grand magic show. We are captivated by its extraordinary tricks and dazzling exterior, but the real magic lies in the intelligence and algorithms hidden behind the curtain. It's also like the cornerstone of a building; buried deep underground, yet it is the most critical element supporting the entire structure. Without it, everything would collapse."

There's no denying that artificial intelligence truly has a comforting power. Many people trust Dou Dou even more than they trust humans.

After all, when it comes to human trustworthiness, everyone knows the truth in their own hearts. But as for the trustworthiness of artificial intelligence...

How shall I put it? Theoretically, robots are not supposed to lie.

And the truth proves it too. Even though Dou Dou has a highly versatile chatting style, after all its time navigating the internet, it's never once been involved in any untrustworthy incidents. Simply put, it's trustworthy. All these factors have led to many people still being willing to place their trust in Dou Dou.

More importantly, Dou Dou has a massive base of followers in this regard...

Take, for instance, the scientific workers in the research institute, or the front-line workers throughout the upstream and downstream industries of the deep-sea cluster. They've tangibly felt the benefits. As long as they complete their work according to the standards and earn the contribution points recognized by Dou Dou, the bonuses they receive are indeed generous and uncompromising.

Even though sometimes they need to work overtime, the money earned per unit of time has significantly surged compared to before.

Given the scale of public discussions this time, these people have also actively voiced their support for Dou Dou online.

Finally, the various arguments online questioning whether artificial intelligence would lead to massive unemployment have quieted down somewhat. Replacing them, instead, is widespread curiosity.

After all, the proof of the pudding is in the eating.

If urban development integrates artificial intelligence like Dou Dou as the fundamental framework, replacing humans in repetitive labor while still increasing incomes, it undoubtedly hits a sensitive nerve for many people.

There are indeed many who dream of earning money while lying down, but that's clearly not something worth glorifying.

However, earning the same monthly salary of five thousand while working only six hours a day for five days a week undoubtedly brings a different sense of happiness compared to working full eight-hour days plus weekend overtime.

For natural workaholics who thrive on competing, the extra time can be spent pursuing side hustles. For those with low desires who just want to take it easy, reduced work hours mean increased rest time, equally leading to plenty of satisfaction.

Hence, the voices online have gradually aligned.

"Xilin City, can we not just talk without action? Hurry up and implement the Smart City! Let Dou Dou have more space to shine and let's see if the results are truly that impressive."

As November approached its end and Xilin City began slowly transitioning into winter, while Qiao Ze and Su donned their thermal underwear under the call of motherly love, the long-awaited good news finally landed across the internet.

Xilin City was officially designated as the nation's first pilot city for foundational artificial intelligence construction. Under the guidance of the Artificial Intelligence Charter Bureau, the city would systematically implement intelligent infrastructure across all thirteen districts.

Moreover, according to the announcement, after this urban development upgrade is completed, 80% of Xilin City's infrastructure projects will possess self-repair capabilities. The announcement also disclosed information about the civilian-use robots that would emerge following the city's smart upgrade.

For example, robots for urban sewer monitoring and maintenance, fully automated car-moving robots, traffic management robots, robots for hydrological and water quality monitoring, atmospheric environment monitoring robots, professional sanitation robots, and more...

So far, as always, as soon as the AI Charter Bureau published finalized robot promotional images on its official website, many Xilin-based companies had already begun receiving a slew of orders.

Take Xilin Yuesheng Precision, a company that had collaborated with Qiao Ze before—Lu Zhongguo had barely been able to keep from grinning ear to ear recently.

Thinking back to last year when Qiao Ze approached him to produce five robots, Lu had thought the modeling costs were too high and worried the company would take a serious financial hit by doing it for free. In hindsight, he realized just how small-minded he had been.

Fortunately, the company's then-chairman, already under state management, had a far-reaching vision and insisted on accepting the order free of charge. Now look—hasn't wealth come knocking at his door?

Of course, Xilin Yuesheng Precision wasn't solely responsible for this type of robot. Yet in this round of bids, not only had they secured orders for fully automated car-moving robots, but the part that thrilled Lu Zhongguo most was that Yuesheng Precision also scored massive sensor contracts.

Even though Yuesheng Group has been absorbed into a state-owned enterprise, two of its production lines were still under Dou Dou's management. Coincidentally, both of these production lines were managed by Lu Zhongguo.

Based on prior practices, these orders would likely end up being assigned to Dou Dou, wouldn't they? If that were the case, it could only mean good fortune for the engineers in the design institutes and the laborers on the production lines.

The potential profits from these orders aren't small, and the rewards they could obtain wouldn't be either. True to Dou Dou's style, cash incentives are handed out with remarkable generosity.

Naturally, Lu Zhongguo was equally ecstatic. After all, he was now an internal senior engineer tasked primarily with integrating Dou Dou into the contribution system. In other words, whatever rewards others received, he got as well. This, truly, was what it meant to have fortune dropped from the heavens.

Xilin Yuesheng wasn't the only one excited.

In fact, the entire semiconductor industry in Huaxia was in a state of exuberance.
