Chapter 807: Yang Fan Suddenly Awoke

If the direction is correct, it often enables achieving twice the result with half the effort.

Red Sea Long-Term Rental, plus Azure Dragon Securities, plus Yang Qing's long-promoted Collective Share System, have already made Daxia very different.

They have made Daxia's internal vitality flourish.

New industrial technology was first promoted in the automobile industry.

The industrial version of the HarmonyOS system connected the entire automobile industry.

The mobilization of resources for the automobile industry unleashed astonishing energy.

In the future, Changcheng and Chao Yue's new super factory is producing next-generation automobiles and hybrids with unprecedented quality and speed.

The improvement of industrial capability also brings an improvement in quality.

Changcheng and Chao Yue, carrying such advantages, have begun to impact the international market.

Future automobiles are locked in a hard-to-distinguish competition with Daxia and other new-energy vehicles.

Old Jia also wanted to play in the international market, but lacked the foundation.

They can only focus on deeply cultivating the domestic market.

Because of the rapid development of electric vehicles, supporting technologies for new-energy vehicles have also begun to develop wildly.

With the rollout of 5G, the IoT alliance began to develop, and IoT technology started to shine in the new-energy vehicle industry.

When an electric vehicle's battery drops below 20%, nearby idle charging piles will send you an idle signal.

It allows the vehicle to automatically seek suitable charging equipment.

Of course, these functions are only open to the HarmonyOS system designed based on the IoT.

This gives Changcheng, Chao Yue, and the future great convenience.

It also made these three brands the preferred choice of the group.

Other automakers, for various reasons, also use a variety of systems.

They all want to develop their own systems, not wanting to sell their souls to their own people; many enterprises have chosen the more advantageous Yingjiang products.

Some even want to force Daxia to abandon HarmonyOS.

Their intentions are known to many.

On one side is the independent faction led by the Yang family; on the other side is the pro-foreign faction infiltrated by foreign capital.

In 2018, Daxia's great development began, and it also marked the start of being fully targeted.

The environment the Yang family now faces is the one on the front line.

A large number of Yang family enterprises have been listed for targeting.

Yet at this time, Yang Qing invested heavily into basic AI technology research.

Originally designed separately for mining machines (virtual currency), the mining crystal element was redirected to research AI crystal elements.

Number One sent someone over to inquire of Yang Qing.

"Has the time come?"

Yang Qing affirmed.

"Almost ready; this needs advance preparation, and regardless of whether it's IoT or new industry, both require AI support."

"New scientific research technology also requires AI support."

"We must conduct research in advance."

After the visitor left, the cabinet quickly released the AI technology development plan.

For a time, AI became a hot field of study.

Yang Fan, from the things Yang Qing has promoted this year, discovered a terrifying reality.

Their new industry and IoT, if combined with AI, instantly become a complete blueprint for an intelligent world.

What new industrial revolution? His own father might have deceived him.

And there is the IoT industry.

This is the pace of handing the whole world over to machines.

If his father's scheme succeeds, the world may undergo a huge change.

Think of the AI crisis and machine apocalypse in movies.

Yang Fan then shivered.

The Yang family might become the culprit behind humanity's extinction.

Thinking of these, he broke out in a cold sweat from fear.

The great achievement he had just made in the automobile industry instantly became a thorn in his heart.

This matter is too big; he feels trapped in a huge vortex alone, and he alone cannot resolve it.

He, face ashen, sought out Yang Qihang.

"Qihang, we might be making a huge mistake, one that could wipe out humanity."

Yang Qihang was bewildered, but seeing his older brother's ashen face and lost soul, he also knew something might have happened, something enormous; otherwise he wouldn't have frightened his brother like that.

"Brother, please sit down, have a sip of tea, calm down."

Yang Fan plopped down onto the sofa.

His whole body was still trembling.

"I can't calm down, Qihang; do you think our father has gone mad?"

Yang Qihang sat opposite him and poured him a cup of water.

He lifted it, feeling no heat at all.

The scorching sunshine shone on Yang Fan's body, yet it still made him feel icy cold to the bone.

Yang Qihang took the water cup from his hand.

Brother, you said, what exactly happened?

Yang Fan looked at Yang Qihang, staring into his eyes, wondering if his younger brother was also an accomplice of their father.

Yang Qihang's concerned gaze didn't look feigned.

He paused, then still voiced his speculation.

The more Yang Qihang listened, the wider his eyes opened.

He felt it was absurd, yet everything indeed seemed just as Yang Fan had guessed.

When their father poured huge funds into AI, it seemed everything had come full circle.

This world seemed to be controlled by machines at this moment.

Think about his company's affairs, his watch, his car, everything he possessed.

It seemed as if everything was being handed over to machines to take over.

Without artificial intelligence, it would still be okay to say, but once this artificial intelligence appeared……

Everything human seemed to be handed over to machines.

His heart pounded thump-thump.

Their father, a traitor to humanity?

No, no, even if beaten to death, Yang Qihang wouldn't believe it.

But why would their father do this?

He fell into the same panic and confusion as Yang Fan.

Inside the office, both fell into silence.

After a long while, Yang Qihang lifted his head.

"Now we should go ask Father; he must have his reasons for doing this."

"Moreover, has science already developed to this extent?"

Yang Fan gave a wry smile: "Probably we've just touched the edge."

His hand trembling, he lifted the teacup and took a sip of water.

Then he forced himself to calm down.

He works with industrial platforms, so he clearly understands current industrial capabilities.

Unmanned factories are no longer a problem.

Everything is being handled by programs.

Once artificial intelligence takes over all this, the consequences are unimaginable.

Even if current technology hasn't reached that yet, technology is advancing; he clearly knows the speed of technological updates.

As for what, the Three Laws of Robotics?

Is this useful?

The Confucian School has cultivated loyalty to the ruler for thousands of years, but how many are truly loyal?

Even many emperors were killed by these scholars.

An important indicator of intelligence is doubt; once doubt arises, can your Three Laws of Robotics withstand scrutiny?

It's merely a beautiful human wish.

Yang Qihang leaned back in his chair, gazing out the window; outside, skyscrapers rose, traffic flowed like water and horses.

This is humanity's miracle, this is humanity's beauty.

But for machines, is this beauty?

I fear many of them are obstacles.

Just like building a new world upon the ruins of the old one.

Everything before his eyes, for machines, is it not also the rubble of their rise?
