As a Mage, I Only Want to Pursue Truth

A mage accidentally drifts to Blue Star. The intelligent life on Blue Star cannot influence reality by manipulating dark matter, thus the mage loses their casting ability.

In order to recover...

Chapter 369 Smooth Transition

We have always followed the path of testing truth through practice.

Stop hiring civil servants, partially transfer public affairs to artificial intelligence, and eventually let artificial intelligence take over public affairs completely.

This is a path I've envisioned.

Singapore's artificial intelligence has not only sparked heated discussions in China, but also in other countries, with many countries even considering introducing Singapore's social governance-oriented artificial intelligence.

The artificial intelligence technology it contains is something that internet giants covet.

Why is it that after so many years, only America and China have been able to produce multinational giants in the consumer internet industry?

Even if other countries produce multinational internet giants, they are all B2B companies.

ERP systems are primarily used by internet giants in the enterprise sector.

A very important reason is language.

Blue Star has only two major language pools, English and Chinese, and a large enough population to generate a rich enough amount of content.

Among English-speaking countries, only America has the resources to promote its internet applications to other countries.

Even if other English-speaking countries have similar products, the capital behind them doesn't have the same boldness.

It was acquired by an American company during the financing process.

Such cases are not uncommon.

The same is true for China. With a population of over a billion who speak Chinese, China has fertile ground for the birth of its internet giants.

However, if artificial intelligence can unify languages, that would be a completely different concept.

You can think of Chinese and English as two pools, each with its own ecosystem, while Spanish, Portuguese, French, and so on are smaller pools.

Artificial intelligence has blurred the boundaries of all pools, putting everyone in the same pool. This allows internet giants to freely enter markets with other language systems.

If this technology is in the hands of an individual, it would undoubtedly be a major boon.

However, since it was in Merlin's hands, they didn't even have a way to contact him.

Currently, all civil servants in Singapore are on holiday, so it's impossible for multinational internet giants to contact Merlin through senior Singaporean civil servants.

As for the speculation that Zheng Li is Merlin, that's something you know, but you can't say it out loud.

Li Miaomiao thought Zheng Li was going to Singapore, but Zheng Li, as before, spent most of his time in China.

There was a tacit understanding between China and Zheng Li: I know what you're doing; you're going to cause trouble in other countries, and I won't ask any more questions.

As for public affairs-related artificial intelligence, China is aware that this is the trend, but it conflicts with China's millennia-old imperial examination system.

Modern civil service exams are actually a variation of the ancient imperial examination system.

And the fatal point is that repetitive tasks can be replaced by artificial intelligence, and low-level civil servants will be the first to be eliminated.

What about mid-level civil servants? And senior-level civil servants?

This is something that no one dares to say, but everyone knows in their hearts.

Therefore, China will pretend not to know and will mainly observe for the time being.

"Zheng Li, so many civil servants in Singapore are on vacation right now, when do you plan to lay them off?"

As the person who knows the inside story best, Li Miaomiao is also very curious about what Zheng Li will do next.

She saw all sorts of speculations on the Chinese internet.

The most common view is that all civil servants in Singapore will be laid off, with only the parliament and police systems remaining.

Based on Li Miaomiao's understanding of Zheng Li, it's clearly not that simple.

She knew that Zheng Li was an extreme scientist.

"Why lay them off?" Zheng Li replied, "We won't lay them off for the time being."

"Since artificial intelligence can handle transactional tasks, you don't seem like the type to keep these people around for nothing."

"Has your personality changed since you became the controller of Lion City?"

Zheng Li's remote control of Lion City amazed Li Miaomiao.

Because when Zheng Li was giving a speech in front of the Parliament House in Singapore, Li Miaomiao was sitting with Zheng Li watching TV.

Zheng Li chatted with her while giving a speech on television, which gave Li Miaomiao a strange feeling about who she was and where she was.

Zheng Li replied, "We'll support them for three months first, and then hold a referendum."

Singapore will not need any civil servants in the future, and the same goes for police officers.

With me here, there is no room for any crime in Singapore to survive.

With artificial intelligence combined with a comprehensive city surveillance system, Singapore has no secrets.

As for the current civil servants, some of them will be selected to operate virtual reality equipment and bio-photovoltaics.

In other words, let them plant trees.

After listening, Li Miaomiao smiled and said, "It is indeed quite suitable."

Previously, it served businesses and individuals; now it serves plants.

This can be considered as putting the service-oriented government into practice to the end.

You want to take down the entire parliament? Aren't you afraid they won't cooperate and will oust you?

Zheng Li shook his head: "They no longer have control of this game."

......

As usual, Li Wanqing walked into the R&D center of Kechuang Bio in Singapore. While eating breakfast in the cafeteria, he looked at the news reports overhead:

"Singapore and America have completed negotiations on a military agreement, and the two sides have reached a new agreement that America will officially cease using Singapore's Changi Naval Base from September 1."

Military observers have stated that Merlin's rise to power has further solidified Singapore's neutral stance between China and America...
