After Eugene defeated Mr. Liu, major media outlets immediately released this blockbuster news, using the title: “The era of intelligence has arrived!”
However, within an hour, Zhuang Li defeated Eugene with an unexpected move, so all major media had to slap themselves in the face and re-report the incident with the title – “Intelligence can never replace wisdom!”
After this battle, the flaws of intelligent AI had been fully exposed.
They could see the world and respond to everything around them to some extent, but they had no independent thoughts and could not correctly judge more complex situations.
If they couldn’t even recognize the virus QR code on the chessboard clearly, then when they went out on the road, they may not even be able to tell whether the being walking on the road was a person or a dog.
The intelligent era that Zhuang Han mentioned was still far from arriving, and it was too early to apply it in the field of autonomous driving.
Therefore, after the news was broken by the media, Cambrian’s stock price began to plummet.
In just one day, hundreds of millions of dollars of Zhuang Han’s wealth evaporated, and his halo of a new business upstart was shattered by Zhuang Li.
What was worse was that some consumers, upon hearing that their cars were installed with AI software developed by Cambrian, actually clamored to return them.
The original owner had strictly ordered Huarui not to use Cambrian’s technology on new cars. He was just trying to bet with Zhuang Han at the time and didn’t think that far.
But in order to show his support for his younger son, Zhuang Jincheng instructed the production department not to pay attention to his older son’s inexplicable orders and just assemble according to the new design plan.
As a result, the 500,000 high-end cars recently produced by Huarui were all installed with Cambrian’s autonomous driving system. Now there was a crisis of consumer trust collapse. The cost of recalling these cars alone was a huge waste. The subsequent dismantling of the system, modification of other software, etc., would be another huge expense.
What was worse was that Huarui Manufacturing would henceforth be left with a bad reputation of “not caring about the lives of consumers” and its reputation would plummet.
With just one game, Zhuang Li completely destroyed the empire that Zhuang Han had worked hard to build for five years, and also made the shareholders who supported Zhuang Jincheng lose miserably.
At this juncture, the legislative department clearly sent out an announcement, saying that because some unscrupulous manufacturers used immature technologies in the field of autonomous driving, the government would amend the law, deny the driving rights that driverless cars had previously obtained, and then re-set market entry thresholds for driverless cars.
Simply put, the previous administrator had actually approved the legal status of driverless cars in the market, and all car manufacturers could manufacture driverless cars and sell them to consumers.
But now, a new administrator, Zong Zhengming, had taken office, and he seemed to have watched the match between Eugene and Zhuang Li, and had developed deep doubts about the reliability and safety of intelligent AI, so he had revoked the legal status of driverless cars and formulated more stringent market access conditions.
This news may not seem special to ordinary people and would not have any impact on their lives, but it had caused a huge stir in the automobile manufacturing industry.
Manufacturers that adhered to traditional automobile manufacturing technology were rejoicing; however, those car companies that had stepped into the field of driverless cars and invested heavily were in a state of panic and anxiety.
Among these panic-stricken manufacturers, Zhuang Han and Zhuang Jincheng were the most anxious.
They had bet all their fortunes on the field of driverless cars. They firmly believed that after Eugene’s great victory, the era of artificial intelligence would arrive rapidly, and smart cars would gradually erode the market share of traditional cars.
In fact, in addition to Cambrian, Zhuang Han and Zhuang Jincheng had sold all their private property and quietly acquired a car manufacturing plant.
They originally wanted to drain Huarui to nurture Cambrian and the car factory and finally create some big troubles for Huarui to make it bankrupt, leaving Zhuang Li with nothing but huge debts.
It was just a transfer of funds, so there was a lot of room for operation.
But now, the government was trying to raise the entry threshold for driverless cars, so consumers could not buy them easily.
Unless the government certified and ensured that the technology met extremely high safety standards, driverless cars could only be popularized among the public. This process may take one or two years, or even ten or eight years.
But as long as driverless cars were not qualified to be driven on the road, Zhuang Han and Zhuang Jincheng’s company would not be able to make a profit.
Workers needed to eat, factories needed to pay rent, machines needed to be maintained, technology needed to be developed and everything needed money. Zhuang Han and Zhuang Jincheng couldn’t afford to delay!
After the promulgation of this decree, they faced the problem of capital chain breaking at all times and were on the verge of bankruptcy every minute and every second.
Zhuang Li had already checked out all the details of Zhuang Han and Zhuang Jincheng on the Internet, so he asked in his mind: “System, your Lord God will choose a child of destiny in every small world to snatch the godhood and luck of my lover. Now it seems that the child of destiny He has chosen in this world is Zhuang Han?”
7480: “!!!”
It didn’t say anything, the host guessed it himself!
“The child of destiny will always kill my lover for one reason or another. After meeting Zong Zhengming, I always wondered who hated him so much that he wanted to kill him. I checked his political enemies, his relatives and friends, and his subordinates. There are many people who hate him, but my premonition tells me that these superficial dangers are not murderous intentions. The real murderous intentions should be hidden deeper.”
“But now, I understand,” Zhuang Li pointed at the decree on the Internet with his fingertips and said coldly, “Cutting off someone’s financial resources is like killing their parents. My lover has cut off the financial resources of Zhuang Han and Zhuang Jincheng. At this stage, the only two people who want to kill him the most are probably these two.”
“Zhuang Jincheng doesn’t have the courage, so only Zhuang Han is left. When I mentioned that Zhuang Han is the child of destiny, you, the system, were terrified.”
7480: “…”
It’s really too difficult for it to have such a host! Its brain is simply not enough!
