Agriculture Maniac

Chapter 527 Golden Week, Outer Third Ring Road
Shili Camp, the main street running north and south.

Tens of thousands of AI robots from the Sanyuan Heavy Industry originate from Sanyuan Heavy Industry.

The moment they stepped out of the gate, they spontaneously formed more than a dozen square formations according to their shape and purpose, and passed through the city hall in an orderly manner.

The cold light emanating from the machine's casing, along with the chilling sense of oppression from its silent movement, made the whole thing resemble an iron legion from another world, leaving the scene completely silent.

At this time.

The huge outdoor screens on both sides of the street began broadcasting the uses of various robots.

"The first thing to come towards us is the AI ​​flatbed truck."

"It can help car owners park automatically in parking lots, saving them the trouble of finding parking spaces and walking out of the parking lot."

"It can help various workshops complete material loading and goods transfer within the factory, eliminating the need for manual labor and forklifts."

"It can be transformed into a fixed-route transportation vehicle to realize fixed-route unmanned buses, unmanned sightseeing vehicles, and unmanned shuttle buses."

"It can be transformed into a portable toilet to improve hygiene conditions in commercial venues, or it can be transformed into a track vehicle that can be scaled down and fixed to the ceiling, making it suitable for hospital pharmacies, inpatient wards, and other similar facilities."

"Currently, the export version is priced at US$5 per unit (excluding accessories)."

"Next up is a humanoid tracked robot."

"It is suitable for service positions in both commercial and non-commercial settings, and can serve as a guide robot, explanation robot, rescue robot, care robot, chatbot, and companion robot."

"It can charge itself, maintain itself, and update automatically online without affecting its use."

"It can be customized according to the customer's preferences, including bipedal, wheeled, tracked, and multi-clawed, all of which can achieve running, jumping and other movements."

"Currently, the export version is priced at $50 million per unit."

"The third formation consists of all-terrain scanning vehicles."

"It is equipped with a three-stage radar module, which can scan the terrain within a radius of 500 meters offline."

"Applicable to real estate development and planning, large-scale building construction, urban greening and landscaping, large-scale garden projects, light rail and subway projects, and construction of large bridges across rivers."

"It can connect to the Sanyuan Communication Network. If you upload scanned information and apply for the Sanyuan Architectural Engineering Design Institute VIP service, you can obtain support from the Sanyuan Design Institute online, including design drawings, concept drawings, structural drawings, and construction drawings."

"Currently, the export version is priced at $2500 million per unit."

"Hereby, Sanyuan Heavy Industry solemnly declares that all series of all-terrain scanning vehicles are prohibited from being used in warfare. Sanyuan Agriculture has the right to pursue unlimited liability against any armed groups that crack this device and forcibly connect to the three-system combat platform, and does not rule out the deployment of factory guards to carry out annihilation operations."

"The fourth formation is the Wheatfield Watcher developed by MT Corporation."

“MT was founded in 2002. In its early days, it swept the world with the idea that ‘everything can be AI’, launching a series of AI terminals and AI appliances. Later, it focused on improving the MT main unit and achieved great success.”

"The MT series AI devices are currently the only set of artificial intelligence in the world that can act autonomously without a network connection."

"Compared to artificial intelligence that requires the support of a three-element communication network, it has a higher degree of freedom and greater development potential."

"MT has received investment from more than 50 multinational capital firms, including BlackRock, Vanguard, JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, Blackstone Group, Carlyle Group, West African Bank, South African Bank, DBS Bank of Singapore, Elaine Group of England, Renault of France, and Zeiss of Germany. Its market value on Nasdaq alone is as high as one trillion US dollars."

"MT Company's Wheatfield Watcher series is mainly suitable for agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery."

"It can automatically patrol the fields, autonomously eliminate harmful organisms, and autonomously drive away harmless animals."

"It can identify the characteristics of each living organism, record crops, forestry, livestock, and aquatic products one by one, and achieve highly accurate positioning, monitoring, and care."

"It can adapt to high-altitude and deep-sea environments and achieve an operating time of more than 30 days within a 200-kilometer radius."

"Currently, the export version is priced at $5000 million per unit."

"MT Corporation solemnly declares that the Wheatfield Watchers series is strictly prohibited from use in war. Violators will be subject to the three-system standard."

"The fifth formation to come toward us is the war robot developed by Sanyuan Heavy Industry - the Small Land Cruiser."

"It adopts a spider-shaped design and has six mechanical legs that can transform into tracks, making it suitable for all terrains."

"It is equipped with a three-system missile system, which can store 300 small missiles with a diameter of 200mm, and can cover a battlefield with a radius of 500 meters."

"It has one 30mm diameter recoilless rifle, one 7.62mm spiral magazine machine gun, five quadruple grenade launchers, and three graphite electromagnetic pulse grenade launchers."

"Currently, the export version is priced at $5000 million per unit."

"Sanyuan Heavy Industry solemnly declares that war robots are strictly prohibited from entering residential areas. Our company will set up virtual walls in the three-system command and combat system according to the global range of human activities to prevent war robots from accidentally entering residential areas and injuring civilians."

"The sixth formation is the 'drone launch robot' developed by Sanyuan High-Tech."

"It looks like a van, but when in use, the roof can be opened to set up a drone launcher and release 10 to 30 supersonic drones from inside the van."

"Customers can also customize the appearance according to their own needs, including agricultural tricycles, nanny vans, buses, box trucks, pickup trucks..."

"Currently, the export version is priced at $50 per unit (excluding the supersonic drone), while the supersonic drone is priced at $2500 million per unit."

"The seventh formation is the 'earth-drilling robot' developed by Sanyuan High-Tech..."

"The eighth formation consists of the 'underwater robot' developed by Sanyuan High-Tech..."

"The ninth formation is the 'wall-climbing robot' developed by Sanyuan Construction..."

"The tenth group consists of the 'millimeter-sized medical robot' developed by the Central Hospital..."

Wait until the AI ​​robot formation disappears.

The Shiliying Subdistrict Office, led by Lao Huang, has once again demonstrated the collective future.

The first group consisted of first-grade students from the affiliated primary school of the Workers' University (Little Farmers).

They are on average 6 years old, with a robust physique and an exceptionally sturdy appearance, resembling little chubby boys. Even the girls are remarkably agile.

the most important is:

"The first formation is the champion class of the National Primary and Secondary School Games."

"The second group is the national primary and secondary school math Olympiad champion class."

"The third group is the Global Artificial Intelligence Competition - Underage Champion Group."

"The fourth group is the Global Military Simulation Competition - Underage Champion Group."

"The fifth group is the Global Aircraft Competition - Underage Champions Team."

"The sixth formation is..."

Viewing stand.

Robert Gates, the North American Secretary of Defense, twitched as he watched the formation of AI robots, looking at the sturdy little trio.

Standing next to him was Koinu, the chief of the Japanese islands, who whispered, "Mr. Gates, if we don't stop this, none of us will be happy."

"Do you think I can make that decision?"

"We can work together."

"Don't joke around. You had two 10,000-ton landing ships towed away, and you only dare to ask Dongfang for them back, but you don't dare to ask Yu Sanyuan. How can you dare to cooperate with us?"

"As long as North America returns to the Asia-Pacific region, Japan will inevitably take the lead at all costs."

Gates' lips curled slightly, but he didn't respond. The little dog continued, "The essence of the three-element agriculture, as those who oppose it say, is a new hegemony, a new imperialist approach. Its encroachment on the world is like the construction of the third ring road in Shili Camp, requiring more resources and more manpower. Where will the resources come from? Where will the manpower come from? Nothing more than bandit-style plunder."

Now that they have broken through the first island chain, in order to gain more living space, they will inevitably break through the second island chain soon, and then seize everything in North America to become the new world leader.

At that point, the Japanese islands will have no other choice.

"Dog, are you threatening me?"

"No, I'm just stating the facts. After all, the Japanese islands don't want to bring about their own destruction."

After the little dog finished speaking, he respectfully said, "Yu Sanyuan's attitude towards Japan is obvious to the world. Between Sanyuan Agriculture and Federal Capital, we can only choose Federal Capital, and we also hope that Federal Capital will provide more support."

Gates narrowed his eyes, pondered for a long time, and said softly, "Wait a little longer. Federal Capital will definitely give Yu Sanyuan a big surprise."

"Oh?"

"The market for the three industries has expanded globally, with continuously increasing production capacity and jobs. What would happen if the three industries suddenly lost their global market?"

"Overcapacity, mass unemployment..."

The little dog understood. "But you've already used this tactic twice, and both times it failed. Once you gave Yu Sanyuan a super chemical plant, and the other time you gave Yu Sanyuan a huge European and American-style shopping mall."

"This time it will definitely be a success."

"Don't get yourself into trouble."

"Fuck!"

...

The essence of capitalism is exploitation.

Exploitation is mainly manifested in three aspects: private ownership of the means of production, appropriation of surplus value, and solidification of class relations.

The specific implementation mechanisms for these three aspects include: commodification of labor and control of labor time.

This then leads to economic exploitation, political influence, and cultural infiltration.

Ultimately, this led to hegemony.

Collectivism, on the other hand, does not have the above requirements; its core value is "solving domestic demand."

The process mainly includes: acquiring resources → collective production → distribution according to need → increasing proficiency/upgrading technical specifications → dumping surplus capacity → acquiring resources.

This dumping of surplus capacity allows goods to be sold at very high or very low prices, as long as it successfully acquires the resources the collective wants, it is considered correct.

In the past, the three-series products seemed expensive, but compared to capital products, they were actually good value for money, at least the buyers got something.

Therefore, Yu Yang has always believed that selling the factory's surplus capacity to the world is truly a benefit to the entire world.

Otherwise, if factories adopt capitalist practices, destroy excess production capacity, and directly seize resources, resource-rich regions will get nothing.

"I'm still too kind-hearted."

After posting his message, Yu Yang didn't watch the subsequent formations.

He took Fan Tao with him, drove a modified van, crossed the South Third Ring Road overpass, and arrived at the outer perimeter of the South Third Ring Road.

The construction of the third ring road in Shiliying has been underway for two years, but due to its large scale, it can only be carried out from the inside out.

Therefore, the area south of the former boxing ring – Liang County – now the outer edge of the South Third Ring Road, remains undeveloped.

The overall appearance is slightly better than that of Yujia Village seven years ago.

First, the higher authorities obtained resources from the three systems and almost completed the village-to-village road construction project in East and South China, and also achieved village-to-village network construction.

Secondly, the development of Sanyuan Pharmacy, Sanxi stores, Sanxi surrounding industries, and Agriculture 3.0 has led to rapid development in the areas surrounding Sanxi.

Third, after the Third Ring Road plan was made public, the outer Third Ring Road attracted countless people from outside the factory who wanted to join the collective, which boosted the local economy.

This has led to the outer third ring road becoming like the urban villages of yesteryear, a melting pot of all sorts of people.

They could be farmers with their families, business owners looking for opportunities, recent college graduates, factory workers from the south, or even criminals of various kinds.

They either rented rooms, stayed with relatives and friends, set up their own tents, or simply lay down in any open space...

Most of them had only vaguely heard about today's celebration, had never participated in it, never celebrated it, and had never even watched the live broadcast.

Because in order to support their families, they have to travel around and take on jobs everywhere.

However, Shiliying, which is about to become a 'digital commune' by achieving automation and intelligence, simply doesn't have that many laborers.

As a result, more than 60% of the people living outside the outer third ring road have no source of income.

This is also one of the reasons why Sanyuan Agriculture decided to accelerate its private sector development.

It was noon.

Yu Yang drove a minivan with Fan Tao to Yutou Village in Xiao'anshan Township, Liang County, on the outer third ring road.

The once remote village with only two hundred households is now filled with brand-new self-built houses.

These cement houses, overseen by Sanyuan Construction, are densely packed together, connecting multiple villages end to end. They have also expanded rapidly, forming an "extremely large-scale urban village within the three rings."

This is thanks to Sanyuan Agriculture being a world-class grain trader, and also thanks to the kind heart of its leader, Mr. Yu.

Sanhuan-Sanyuan Fast Food offers meals for only 1 yuan per meal, and provides free steamed buns, pickled vegetables, and corn porridge based on the factory's external identification card.

Therefore, those without income, including the influx of criminals, are currently all very well-behaved.

Yu Yang and Fan Tao found a shady spot under a tree and looked out at the crowded Sanyuan Fast Food restaurant.

Fan Tao said, "After the factory achieves automation and intelligence, even screwing screws has been replaced by industrial robots. Now, there are very few industries with low barriers to entry. They are probably only left with construction, roads, and embankment construction. People may not be able to do things like wood processing and leather processing anymore."

Therefore, if we want these people to have something to do, we can only separate the Third Ring Road and distribute the projects undertaken by Sanyuan Construction to the newly established private developers and contractors.

However, land prices in Shiliying have already been driven up to exorbitant levels, and commodity prices remain high. If private developers and contractors were to get involved, they would likely lose everything.

The problem is that overseas capital is rushing into Shiliying, and we need to earn US dollars and resources from overseas, but lowering land prices is unrealistic.

Yu Yang nodded. "The land price definitely can't be lowered, otherwise Shiliying will be bought by foreign capital sooner or later."

“Without lowering prices, private developers and contractors cannot participate, let alone hire people with no source of income to work.”

“It’s not a big deal. There are many unconventional practices in the construction industry. Take this piece of land under our feet, for example. Lao Huang offered 30 billion yuan, which is ridiculously high. Compared with the current housing prices, I think that I, as a private developer, can’t handle it. But Lao Huang is selling it to me at a low price, and I can’t lower the price. What can I do?”
The deputy township head appeared and said that he and Lao Huang were only superficially on good terms, and that he was willing to befriend me, offering 35 billion.

When I heard that, I thought, "Good heavens, it's 5 million more expensive than Lao Huang's? Do you think I'm stupid?"
Unexpectedly, the deputy township head secretly gave me a project that could earn 20 billion yuan, saying that I should invest 35 billion yuan, but in reality, it was equivalent to investing 15 billion yuan.

This project that supposedly could earn 20 billion yuan didn't exist at all; it was just a formality. Or, I would invest 35 billion yuan, and the deputy township head would then use the project as a pretext, such as transferring the landscaping of the three ring roads that the factory had already handled to me, which would be equivalent to me having completed it directly, or handing over the river dredging that the factory had already handled to me, which would also be equivalent to me having completed it directly. Then, he would take the opportunity to return 20 billion yuan to me.

In this way, the land did indeed sell for 35 billion, and the data looks good both domestically and internationally, understand?

"I understand, but the whole East is watching Lao Huang. Aren't you afraid he'll get locked up?"

"What's there to be afraid of? The 20 billion yuan that was returned is called a local deficit, which is very common."
