Chapter 192 Future City: Robot City?
Zhang Zhai's words surprised Hua Menglian, or maybe it was wrong to say that she was surprised, it should be said that she couldn't believe her ears.
"Mr. Zhang, is this an exaggeration? To build such a long artificial river specifically for water supply?" Hua Menglian really couldn't accept Zhang Zhai's idea.
Zhang Zhai's approach exceeded her imagination every time.
It's like everyone in the world is swimming in the water, but Zhang Zhai is flying in the sky alone.
"Furthermore, even if we ignore the high cost of at least 800 kilometers of man-made rivers and the serious disproportionate cost and benefit, and only consider the excavation and construction time, it is not a project that can be completed in a short period of time."
"Water from afar cannot quench the thirst of nearby people. Mr. Zhang, I think this huge project is both unnecessary and unrealistic."
Although Hua Menglian felt that Zhang Zhai's idea was a bit whimsical, she still gave her suggestions seriously.
Zhang Zhai glanced at Hua Menglian and smiled, "Mr. Hua, you are wrong. First of all, is this necessary?
There is indeed no need for this now, but when considering things, you can't just think about the immediate future, you must also be forward-looking and foreseeable.
Mr. Hua, let me ask you, after Zhai City is completed, how much area will it cover?"
"Ten thousand square kilometers."
"What is the area of Shanghai, the city with the highest GDP in China?"
"It should be more than six thousand kilometers." Hua Menglian already understood what Zhang Zhai meant, but she still answered.
"To be precise, at 6,340 square kilometers, Zhai City is 1.57 times the area of Shanghai. How many people can such a large city accommodate? The amount of water that needs to be consumed every day is an astronomical figure. Moreover, Mr. Hua, you will think that Zhai
Will the city’s development be inferior to that of Shanghai?”
"Although the geographical location of Zhai City is far inferior to that of Shanghai, with Mr. Zhang here, Zhai City's future potential far exceeds that of Shanghai."
Zhang Zhai did not refute Hua Menglian's flattery-sounding words. He just smiled and continued.
"In this case, is it not necessary to build such an artificial river? No matter in the future or now, this is a once and for all solution."
Zhang Zhai did not wait for Hua Menglian's answer and continued:
"As for the other two issues, cost and time, yes, that's a problem.
However, Mr. Hua, please don’t forget that we have one hundred thousand Terminator robots, with which we can keep the cost to a minimum and the time to a minimum."
"As for other costs, I believe that the cash flow on Xihe Technology's account is enough for me to do anything."
"It's not good to have so much cash on hand. Let's spread it out." Zhang Zhai's words were meaningful.
According to Zhang Zhai’s own knowledge, the current cash flow accumulated by the two companies Xihe Technology and Mirage Technology over a long period of time exceeds at least one trillion yuan.
No company in the world has so much cash.
To put it more seriously, if so much cash is gathered in the hands of one company, or in the hands of Zhang Zhai alone, it will affect the entire Chinese economy over time.
"Okay, I support Mr. Zhang's decision." Hua Menglian saw that Zhang Zhai had spoken to this extent, so she could only express her support.
Moreover, using robots to dig an 800-meter man-made river is actually not that exaggerated.
Compared with Zhang Zhai's feat of building a city with robots, it is simply child's play.
"Well, it's up to you to communicate with the superiors about this matter. As for the Terminator robot, if you can't get rid of the existing 100,000, you can ask me to authorize you to produce another 100,000." Zhang Zhai said calmly, "As for the Terminator robot, if you can't get rid of the existing 100,000, you can ask me to authorize you to produce another 100,000." Zhang Zhai said calmly, "As for the Terminator robot, if you can't get rid of the existing 100,000, you can ask me to authorize you to produce another 100,000."
The water pipeline you just mentioned will continue to be built. Just like you said, water from afar cannot quench the thirst of nearby people."
"Okay, Mr. Zhang." Hua Menglian had already guessed that a research madman like Zhang Zhai would definitely not be willing to be responsible for these things, so she had to be responsible.
…
The water shortage problem has been solved for the time being, but Zhang Zhai did not leave, or spoke about other things.
The entire office was silent for nearly three minutes before Zhang Zhai signaled and Gray Wolf pushed him to the floor-to-ceiling window.
Looking at Zhang Zhai overlooking Zhai City hundreds of meters above the ground, his eyes were somewhat moved.
"Mr. Hua, what do you think of Zhai Cheng now?"
Hua Menglian felt a little strange about Zhang Zhai's question. She carefully considered her words and replied: "A city full of hope and miracles. The entire city is developing rapidly and is in a prosperous state."
Regarding Hua Menglian's words, Zhang Zhai didn't say anything. He changed the topic and said: "Mr. Hua, don't you think Zhai Cheng is too empty?"
"There are no shops in the shopping malls, no movies in the movie town, no chefs in the restaurants, no teachers and students in the universities, and no doctors in the hospitals. The whole city is empty. It doesn't look like a city, but more like a civilized monument. There are
Tourists, but these buildings have no other function except for viewing."
"When I built Zhai City, I didn't want it to be a flower vase. I wanted it to truly operate and become a real city."
"Mr. Hua, what do you mean, you want to open up Zhai City? For example, sell or rent the properties in Zhai City?" Hua Menglian said in surprise, she had already had this idea.
Once Zhai City is opened, it will be a huge benefit for Xihe Technology.
Real estate, rent... just these two, you can make a lot of money.
"No, it's not open, it's operational." Zhang Zhai said calmly.
"Mr. Zhang, what do you mean?" Hua Menglian was a little confused.
"We run the entire city, shopping malls, shopping malls, restaurants, cinemas, hospitals, and schools ourselves. We make it run ourselves instead of leaving it to a third party or anyone else," Zhang Zhai said.
Compared to building a city, this is truly owning a city.
Everything in the city belongs to one person.
"Mr. Zhang, this..." Hua Menglian frowned tightly, "Is this okay?"
"Nothing is impossible. We have the greatest advantage and can solve any problem." Zhang Zhai smiled lightly and said.
"The staff of shopping malls only need to be filled by the robot Xiaoli. Supermarkets can directly use unmanned sales. Cinemas can also use unmanned ticket sales. The city's basic transportation system and buses can also be fully driverless. Doctors in hospitals
, let Dabai serve as the most perfect doctor in the world. The restaurant can also have Dabai as the chef and Xiaoli as the waiter... The entire city and all positions can actually be replaced by robots."
"Robot city?" Hua Menglian was shocked by Zhang Zhai's words. She subconsciously felt a sense of panic. Could she also be replaced?
"No, it is the city of the future. From the very beginning, Zhai City has been the city of the future." Zhang Zhai smiled lightly.
Everyone present was shocked by Zhang Zhai.
They seemed to see a picture like this. The streets, restaurants, construction sites, theater entrances, hospitals, and everywhere in Zhai City were filled with robots.
Thinking about it, I feel a little shuddering.
Zhang Zhai looked at these four people who were in a daze and said with a smile: "Zhai City, there will only be these types of people in the future, scientists, artists, robots and... employees of Xihe Technology and Mirage Technology."
Hua Menglian breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the last sentence.
"Mr. Zhang, since robots can replace any position in Zhai City, does that mean that they can also be used outside Zhai City..."
"Yes, but the only city that can replace all human labor with robots is Zhai City, which is not yet operational. As for other places... I think it is impossible before humans leave the earth."
"But don't be so nervous... If all the jobs in Zhai City are filled by robots, it will require a huge amount of calculations to control millions of robots in the entire city. Now, even supercomputers cannot achieve this.
