Chapter 71: Foundation Strengthening Plan
The foundation laying plan was bound to encounter turmoil, because since ancient times, people have always been more concerned about inequality than scarcity, and the foundation laying plan was one that was clearly unequal.
Therefore, those above had already guessed that some people would have complaints.
Therefore, the higher-ups are again fishing: they are holding back the foundation consolidation plan that is paired with the foundation laying plan, to see if anyone will take advantage of the situation, stir up trouble, or fan the flames.
Unfortunately, whether it was because the previous crackdown was too harsh or because this incident had little effect even with encouragement, Li Mu waited a whole week without anyone jumping out to cause trouble.
Therefore, the authorities decided not to wait any longer and officially announced the supporting plan for the foundation laying plan, the foundation consolidation plan, a week after the foundation laying plan was announced.
The so-called "foundation consolidation" refers to strengthening the current social foundation and safeguarding the foundational plans.
What is the foundation of society today?
The first to be affected are, of course, the numerous ordinary college students who are enthusiastic and have a sense of justice, but are neither high-achieving nor low-achieving.
Because they are the weathervane of social trends and the core force for maintaining public morale and stabilizing the social foundation, their situation directly affects the atmosphere and public opinion during the groundbreaking process.
Therefore, the first problem that the Foundation Strengthening Program addresses is the issue of ordinary college students being "too good for some jobs and not good enough for others."
Firstly, in terms of theory, the reason why ordinary universities' related courses are neither good nor bad and lack theoretical depth is not because ordinary universities do not want to emulate 985 and 211 universities, nor that they refuse to emulate them, but because there are not enough teachers capable of teaching related courses.
Therefore, the solution to the problem of ordinary college students not attending online courses is very simple: online open courses.
Regardless of their college entrance examination scores or current major, ordinary college students can learn alongside students from top universities (985/211) and under the same teachers simply by registering online.
However, that teacher wouldn't answer questions from ordinary college students, nor would they assign or grade homework for them.
However, there is still one problem to be solved with this method: what about the professional courses of our own school?
You can't possibly take your own university's major courses while also taking online courses from a 985/211 university, can you?
The actual solution to this problem is quite simple: the university should allow ordinary undergraduates to skip their major courses.
However, this permission is time-limited.
Three months.
Regular college students can skip their major courses at their university for three months and only take the online courses they have registered for.
Three months later, the average college student will have an exam.
Those who pass the exam will not need to continue online classes, but will be exceptionally admitted to the corresponding online school.
Those who fail should honestly and diligently continue with their major courses at their current school.
As for the professional courses I've missed, I'll just have to work hard on them myself.
After all, everything comes at a price, and the path we choose is our own.
Secondly, in terms of practical training, it's the same as the theoretical courses: you're given three months to audit classes, and after three months, you take an exam. Those who pass continue learning, while those who fail return to their original school and major.
Unlike theoretical classes, practical training requires attending classes with teachers at a vocational college.
For meals, there's the school cafeteria. For accommodation, apartments have been prepared near the vocational college, and you can move in anytime.
Therefore, the only problem that ordinary college students who want to learn technical skills need to solve on their own is commuting.
As for education...
The graduation certificate for a technical course is not a degree certificate, but a technical skill certificate.
Therefore, whether it's a junior college or a university degree, as long as you learn the relevant skills, you will eventually get a technical certificate.
In this way, there is no need to worry that some elders will feel ashamed when they see a college diploma, thus reducing the psychological burden and real-world pressure on students.
At the same time, this can also prevent slackers to some extent: after all, some junior college students (definitely not me) have not attended classes for three years and still managed to get a diploma.
"Charge!"
"Recruiting teammates for deep space exploration online. Requirements are as follows..."
"I'm a veteran driver of ten years, an ace mecha pilot, applying to join the team..."
When the detailed terms were released, the ordinary college students immediately lost all their resentment and began to work hard for their dreams.
The absence of the pressure of unemployment upon graduation and the lack of a predictable future represent the most desirable future for them.
Compared to the troubles and intricacies of resolving education-related controversies, resolving industry-related controversies is much simpler: AI!
The reason why there is a labor shortage in basic livelihood industries, physical processing industries, and basic urban and rural service industries is simply because these jobs are hard, tiring, time-consuming, unprofitable, and require one to swallow their pride.
In the past, we had no choice but to do it for the sake of life, family, and other reasons.
Now that there are other options, and the pay is better, naturally no one will do those jobs anymore.
Since humans won't do it, let AI do it.
More accurately, let Hello's AI do it.
Because Hello's AI has a certain emotional feedback system, it can handle simple interpersonal interactions in basic services, such as polite responses at supermarket checkouts, patient guidance in community services, and basic care in elderly care. It not only solves the problem of "no one to do it" but also avoids the stiffness of purely mechanical services, ensuring that the experience of basic services is not compromised.
In the field of physical processing, Hello itself was developed and designed based on repetitive labor and low technical requirements. Therefore, Hello's AI can completely replace repetitive work positions on the assembly line, such as parts sorting, packaging, and basic assembly in old factories.
Moreover, it can not only operate 24 hours a day without interruption, but also significantly reduce the error rate. At the same time, it can help companies save on labor costs, social security, and job allowances, thereby reducing operational pressure and freeing them from worries about recruitment and retention difficulties.
For basic urban and rural service industries, Hello AI can be widely used in positions such as sanitation cleaning, material distribution, primary processing of agricultural products, and community security patrols. In particular, basic service positions in remote rural areas no longer need to worry about staff turnover, and services can be normalized and standardized without investing a lot of money in subsidies.
More importantly, the deployment cost of Hello's AI is controllable. Special subsidies can be allocated to help traditional enterprises, public service institutions, and rural areas introduce Hello in batches without requiring enterprises and grassroots organizations to bear high costs.
As for those practitioners who voluntarily or involuntarily remain in their original industries...
Hello also needs maintenance, so the platform provides free skills training to those practitioners, enabling them to transform from "manual laborers" to "Hello maintenance personnel," achieving the dual goals of "supplementing labor with AI and stabilizing employment with training."
In addition, this is also beneficial for the popularization of AI...
AI is doing the work that humans don't do, so who dares to say that AI has eliminated humans and taken away their jobs?
As for the final price turmoil...
Do you know what a socialist market economy is?
All it takes is a document and a penalty notice, plus a certain amount of supplies injected into the market, and the so-called price turmoil will vanish.
Thus, the turmoil caused by the groundbreaking ceremony became a thing of the past.
"Chief Engineer Guo, please take a look at this document."
