401: Chapter 400 Full Automation

Wang Shuo was not clear about what Qin Feng was thinking.

If he were, he would probably just say, "You're overthinking it."

Taiwan Novel Network is super smooth, read to your heart's content.

Sending them to the construction site for exercise was just to let them adapt to the environment, so they could prepare for subsequent work.

As for the food... you've already made them dig dirt all day on an empty stomach; you have to give them something as consolation, right? If they start causing trouble, losing money is a small matter, but if they all run away, that would be the real headache.

As for the rest—things like exercising a fighting spirit, strengthening a sense of unity, or improving initiative—those were all things he just spouted off to fool Han Xiaoxin.

His real purpose was still just to get this group of people to do more work.

Of course, since they had already joined Frontier Technology, he had to let them experience what made Frontier Technology unique and boost their cohesion, lest they run off after only a few days of work.

"The zero egg must definitely be equipped; the cost can be deducted from their wages."

Wang Shuo carefully planned the accounts.

There were just too many new employees this time. If they were all hired, just distributing the zero eggs would cost nearly 200 million, and he certainly couldn't pay for that himself.

Save where you can, spend where you must. He could provide free meals for the employees, but that didn't mean he could just give away 200 million without batting an eye.

"Let's follow the model used for Wang Jie and the others for this plan. First, adapt it to the individual as a sub-entity of Zero. Once they've fully adapted, we'll announce the rules; anyone who doesn't want it then can return it."

Things like forced buying and selling simply didn't exist. At Frontier Technology, everything was done on a voluntary basis.

However, if no one wanted to return the zero egg by then, he couldn't be blamed for deducting their wages.

"The six-legged robot should also be launched."

Wang Shuo continued to think.

15,000 people looked like a lot, but they were basically a group of novices with absolutely no construction experience.

Huaneng Group did have some experienced engineers, but those people were currently scattered all over the country, and it would take a few days to gather them.

Even taking a step back, even if they were gathered, hundreds or even thousands of engineers couldn't really help with the project progress, other than providing guidance.

He still had to rely on himself.

What to do?

The success of Wang Jie and the others proved that the combination of humans, six-legged robots, and Zero could be used in any setting.

Humans acted as the central hub, becoming familiar with engineering tasks under Zero's guidance, selecting construction sites, grasping construction progress, and adjusting construction plans.

Zero acted as the assistant, analyzing construction blueprints, breaking down construction tasks, providing construction suggestions to humans, and coordinating with humans to direct the six-legged robots in carrying out specific construction work.

In this combination, the six-legged robots were purely tool-like entities; they worked wherever they were pointed, emphasizing reliability, obedience, intelligence, and capability.

This combination basically solved most of the shortcomings of humans, zero eggs, and six-legged robots, successfully concentrating the advantages of all people and tools, making it basically applicable to any working condition.

The only drawback was that Zero currently lacked data covering all types of construction and the construction experience of human technicians, which directly resulted in the six-legged robots being unable to perform more precise tasks.

This was also something that couldn't be helped.

Zero was very smart, but its intelligence had to be built on a foundation of sufficient data, and Wang Shuo himself did not possess the ability to produce that data.

At the very least, he couldn't teach Zero how to weld two steel plates that were two centimeters thick.

Without data, Zero could only operate the six-legged robots to perform simple surface welding, and the results could be imagined.

To solve this problem, sufficient data models were needed, and obtaining data required a massive user base, and a massive user base required Zero to have sufficient computing power support.

The problem had returned to square one once again.

This was why Wang Shuo needed to solve the Chip problem within two or three months.

This thing was no longer just a simple matter of venting his anger; it was truly stalling his progress. Once the Chip problem was solved, there would be nowhere in this world that could trap him.

Therefore, this time, he had to take advantage of Huaneng Group's momentum to solve the problem no matter what.

If he missed this opportunity and let Huaneng Group withdraw their funds, raising tens of billions in capital again relying solely on his own ability might take much longer, and it might even trigger more problems.

Wang Shuo didn't want to wait any longer; he still had many things to do.

Up until now, he hadn't spent a single cent of the tens of billions of funds on himself. He hadn't even bought himself a piece of clothing, a car, or a house. He had no private jet, no yacht, and no experience of having people watch every time he posted on Weibo. He hadn't enjoyed a single aspect of a rich person's life.

If these were too vulgar, then he would trade them for something less so.

The core secret of the Humanoid Race had yet to be unraveled, the cause of the civilization's tragedy was completely unknown, the existence of the Humanoid Race was known to no one, the mysterious organization's kill order was still in effect, and the vast starry sky had yet to be unveiled...

The world was so wonderful; why wait in place forever?

Wang Shuo revealed a faint smile. In that instant just now, he felt he had gained a few more reasons to make money.

"Zero."

Wang Shuo spoke up: "How many six-legged robots do we have now?"

"2,000 units, sir."

"Too few."

Wang Shuo frowned and said: "If we increase production intensity, how many can we produce at the fastest rate per day?"

"If we simultaneously utilize the production lines in Donghai City and Shancheng for production, we can reach a maximum of 300 units per day, sir."

"Hmm."

Wang Shuo rubbed his chin and finally made a decision: "Release the blueprints and start production!"

"Very well, sir. The task content has been generated, and the viewing permissions for the six-legged mechanical crawler blueprints have been lowered. The magnetic joint blueprints have been locked with the highest permission level. Shall I unlock them?"

Wang Shuo shook his head slightly: "Leave the magnetic joint blueprints to be produced by the automated factory."

"Very well, sir. Redesigning the production process... Generation complete. Replacing the K-series Electromagnetic Rifle production line at the Shancheng automated factory... Replacing the zero egg production line in Donghai City..."

"Material requirements generated, sent to the warehouse management system, personnel deployed for retrieval, production of magnetic joints started. Estimated time: 15 minutes."

In less than fifteen minutes, Zero had completed all the target actions, while Wang Shuo hadn't even moved while standing in the factory building.

Just by opening his mouth, production lines thousands of miles away could move according to his will; this was the charm of full automation.

Of course, this was limited to Wang Shuo's use; if others wanted to learn, they would have to pay the tuition.

Having arranged everything, Wang Shuo stretched.

A call came in at just the right time.

Chen Zhongxuan's familiar face appeared on the screen, his smile gentle: "Wang Shuo."

"Uncle Chen."

"Haha."

Chen Zhongxuan looked very happy and said with a smile: "I have contacted all the manufacturers you asked me to get in touch with. When are you coming to Beijing?"

"So fast?"

Wang Shuo was somewhat surprised.

Chen Zhongxuan looked proud, holding back slightly as he said: "Haha, some old friends put in some effort."

Wang Shuo nodded. At Chen Zhongxuan's level, having some old friends was not strange at all.

"Uncle Chen."

Wang Shuo showed a hint of difficulty: "Could you... have them come to Hanzhong to meet with me?"
