Late April 2023.

Another major event happened.

That is the battery factory under Dark Energy Company. After 18 months of intensive construction and construction, the total investment exceeded 38 billion. It was successfully completed on April 22, and the internal production equipment was basically installed.

The construction period was shortened by half a year.

Construction costs exceeded budget by 52%.

This is how we have this circular factory building in front of us, which is all white and looks like four giant matchboxes connected end to end to form a "mouth" shape.

Standing at the door of the factory, Lin Guoming, who was in charge of supervising the construction, was wearing a blue safety helmet and introduced Levi:

"Mr. Li, the main building is 100% complete. Now only some supporting projects such as landscaping in the corners, sewers, cables, optical cables, gas pipelines, etc. are left. There is still a small part that is not completed, but it will not affect the operation of the battery factory."

Levi nodded.

After changing into dust-proof clothing and entering the dust-free factory, you can see thousands of engineers in white coats assembling and debugging equipment. They are meticulous, focused, and very skillful.

Yin Zhuoyao, the former project leader of the Battery Research Institute and now responsible for the factory equipment commissioning and future factory operations, a middle-aged man in his forties with a square face and white temples, explained to Li Wei:

"Boss Li, all the engineers at the Battery Research Institute have stopped their current research work and entered the battery factory to participate in and guide the commissioning of production equipment. They are working overtime every day."

"Everyone works an average of about 11 hours a day. When they're tired, they sleep on the floor in the warehouse. We only get one day off a week at most. There are also many single engineers who stay in the factory for nearly two weeks straight... Everyone is very motivated."

And this kind of motivation comes not only from the high salaries they receive, but also from the fact that the work they are doing now will change the face of all mankind!

Under the double motivation, they burst out with vigorous fighting power.

"good."

Levi nodded, but then asked, "I want to know, under this situation, how long will it take for you to put the factory into production and mass-produce the required products? How many months will it take?"

"Mr. Li, I can't give you a definite guarantee on this."

Yin Zhuoyao shook his head and said, "Some of our product production processes are as complex as chip manufacturing, requiring an operational precision of around 50 nanometers. Even the slightest mistake could render the product scrapped. We must be extremely careful and strive for speed while maintaining stability."

"As for the specific date for mass production, if everything goes smoothly, we will be able to produce the first batch of products in small quantities in about three months. If we want to mass-produce continuously in large quantities, it will take at least six months."

"good!"

Levi nodded in satisfaction: "Don't rush things too much. Make sure you get enough rest and improve your work quality. Just like you said, seek speed while maintaining stability. First stability, then speed!"

For the entire "Trajectory Project", the battery factory is just a supporting part, but now it is about to be mass-produced, far ahead of other subsystems. Levi is already quite satisfied. In addition, he is not short of money now, so making money by "selling batteries" does not seem very urgent.

So he doesn't ask for it to be too fast, as long as mass production can be achieved step by step.

"Yes, Mr. Li!"

Yin Zhuoyao nodded seriously.

…

After inspecting the battery factory.

It is May, the early summer season with lush greenery.

After being busy for several months, Levi finally sorted out everything and got everything on track.

This finally gave me some free time.

But there were constant disturbances, making it difficult for him to calm down.

There are mainly two things.

One, on May 1st, the core server of Dark Technology Company pushed the "LV10 Intelligent Update" to major companies in Xia that purchased "artificial intelligence" technology.

Companies such as Huayao, Dami, and Longteng quickly updated their products and conducted detailed tests.

Some surprising changes were immediately discovered.

LV10 artificial intelligence is equivalent to the thinking ability of a ten-year-old child. Compared with the previous LV8, it has a "generation gap" in many aspects.

For example, learning ability has increased several times, and one can learn and master some advanced knowledge systems.

Thinking is more mature, judgment is more rational, and the error rate has dropped by an order of magnitude.

To make a more vivid analogy: LV8 artificial intelligence is equivalent to an eight-year-old girl, who can help with a lot of housework; and LV10 artificial intelligence is definitely a qualified "child laborer" in the early stages of exploitative capitalism.

If such artificial intelligence "child laborers" were deployed on a large scale in factories, replacing ordinary human workers with 80% of the work efficiency, and then working endlessly for 24 hours, production efficiency would be greatly improved.

More and more simple and repetitive jobs have the possibility of being completely replaced by intelligent robots.

Even some "technical jobs" that are developed through practice make perfect may be replaced by intelligent robots.

In short, every upgrade and update released by Dark Technology means a huge improvement in efficiency and a huge increase in the profit pie for companies such as Huayao, Dami, and Longteng.

The entire upgrade process is so exciting! It makes them look forward to it.

In contrast.

Even if Western countries such as the United States obtained LV8 intelligent technology and promoted its full application, they were only happy for a while.
