Artificial Intelligence Developer Cheolwoo Lee (12)
Starting with the first pepper farm, LFH’s manager Jeong continued to sell the MK-1, an automatic harvesting robot.
‘Wow, the contract was signed here as well.’
I’ve already visited dozens of places, and I signed a contract for every one of them and successfully sold an automatic harvesting robot.
‘Will it work well here?’
The place where I sold it this time was not where AHS was located. It was an area that was constantly promoting AHS, and it was a place where onions were mainly grown.
“So, you say that onions are also automatically picked and harvested?”
“Yes, it is.”
“This little thing is flying and pulling it out?”
The farmer asked again.
“Yes. A special propeller researched by CEO Chul-Woo Lee is installed to instantly increase lift. At that time, the onion is pulled out.”
“Huh, I can’t believe it.”
“I couldn’t believe it when it was made either. That something like this could be made.”
“…… No, it shouldn’t be hard for you to believe it.”
“hahahaha, that’s what makes it such a great skill.”
The farmer almost lost some trust.
“By the way, our field is a little big, is that okay?”
Manager Jeong looked around the field and was once again surprised by its size.
“Hey, it’s big. How many pyeong is it?”
“It will be about 10,000 pyeong.”
“…… 10,000 pyeong? How big is it?”
“It’s easier to think of it as five times the size of a football field.”

“Well, the automatic harvesting robot works up to a radius of 1 km from the carrier. As the area is wide, you should use a lot of carriers.”
“Really? You mean it’s going to work anyway?”
“Yes, it is.”
“Um, fine. Money doesn’t matter, so make an estimate yourself, and make sure.”
“Are you okay with the price?”
“What, 3 million won per drone? You can afford that much. Do it yourself.”
Like a farmer of 10,000 pyeong, he was able to afford money.
“Yes. I understand. I will give you an estimate right away.”
Manager Jeong made an estimate while looking at the structure of the field.
‘Because you need two carriers for one soccer field… … . And I think I need to catch 4 drones per carrier.’
He gave detailed estimates.
“10 carriers, 40 drones. 130 million won.”
“130 million. Anyway, if you have that, you mean the drone will automatically bring the harvest to the carrier, right?”
“Yes. Yes. If it is different from the information in the brochure, 100% refund is possible.”
“Lee Chul-woo made it. Good. I believe it.”
The farmer is LFH. In other words, he had nothing to do with AHS. However, I heard the name Lee Chul-woo a lot in the news and knew it well.
There was no shortage of things to live by seeing the value of Lee Cheol-woo’s name.
“Thank you. Please sign here and deposit the down payment here.”
“So when will the installation be?”
“I’ll have it ready by tomorrow.”
“okay.”
The next day, Manager Jeong loaded 40 drones and 10 carriers onto a truck and continued the installation.
It took almost half a day just to install the carrier and set it up on 10,000 pyeong.
“Installation and settings are complete.”
“Oh, can you see right away?”
“Yes, it is.”
“Okay. Start right away.”
“Yes. I’ll start right away.”
Manager Jeong pressed the start button of the automatic harvesting robot application installed on the farmer. Then, the drones that were charging in the carrier flew up all at once.
“Wow, is that great?”
It was a rare sight to see 4 drones each flying from a total of 10 carriers.
“Wow… that’s amazing.”
Manager Jeong had never installed an automatic harvesting robot on a farm of this size.
A farm of 10,000 pyeong, and 10 carriers and 40 drones deserve to be called really great.
The drones that flew off the carrier scattered and began to move in perfect order.
Wee-ing- Weeing-
If the power to pull the onions was insufficient, the propeller was automatically harvested with high power.
“It’s like seeing a swarm of bees that are a bit bigger. Or is it the carrier?”
“hahahahaha. According to rumors, CEO Lee Chul-woo got the idea from the StarCraft carrier.”
The appearance of drones moving in perfect order was enough to remind us of a swarm of bees or carriers.
“It’s really great.”
The farm owner and manager Jeong felt something in their hearts grow grand.
“Right? You think you made a good purchase?”
After harvesting the onions, the drones begin to put the crops in the carriers assigned to them.
“It can save a lot of labor costs.”
“That’s right.”
“Hey, that’s really great.”
“you’re right.”
The farmer’s admiration continued.
“If this is the case, should I send the foreign worker again… well, I don’t think it’s necessary.”
“hahahahaha, there will be a lot of jobs lost.”
Manager Jeong said without thinking, but the meaning of the words contained a lot.
Right now, it was simply harvesting crops, but in the not-too-distant future, various jobs could be taken away by artificial intelligence.
“Well, the higher ups will take care of that.”
“hahahahaha, I’ll tell you how to use it. For a moment…”
Manager Jeong taught the farmer how to use the automatic harvesting robot.

“Awesome, great. The MK-1 is selling like hot cakes. The initial supply has already run out.”
Researcher Jeong came to my room with an excited expression and said.
“hahahaha, didn’t you expect that?”
“No, I expected it, but I didn’t know it would sell this well. According to LFH CEO Oh, I hear that the preorder amount has already exceeded 100 billion won.”
“Ohh.”
It was a bit meaningful that sales were 100 billion won.
“It’s not only that. Now that it’s the Korean market, if you think it’s going to enter the overseas market in the future… Ugh, how much are you selling?”
“Wouldn’t a couple be funny?”
“hahahahaha, isn’t trillions of money coming into your mouth too easily?”
“but…….”
In the past, it was an amount that could not be imagined even in billion units, but these days, trillion units are common.
“Oh, and there’s something important.”
“Which one?”
“As expected! It’s news! Have you seen it?”
“Ha ha ha, I just looked at it.”
「LFH’s new system to create AHS, a subsidiary of LF. Automatic Harvesting Robot Blitz Release.」
“What on earth is the automatic harvesting robot MK-1?”
「An automatic harvesting robot made with artificial intelligence technology. It contrasts with Google’s AlphaGo.”
“Following Go, will humans lose their place to robots from harvesting any more?”
“Agricultural shock. AHS followed by MK-1. Is farm automation becoming a reality?”
It didn’t attract global aggro like Google, but is it because the automatic harvesting robot is great? A lot of people were talking about it.
“How do you really do this?”
“What?”
“No, a lot of people are in a frenzy right now. Maybe humanity will perish because of the development of artificial intelligence. Elon Mansk, who was the CEO of Sla Motors, said that too.”
“Elon Mansk?”
“Yes. Among the extinction scenarios of mankind, the most threatening thing is the development of artificial intelligence.”
“hahahaha, that man is also true.”
“Well, he seems to be a bluffer, but he is. Anyway, people who have encountered artificial intelligence are half afraid and half excited.”
It definitely made sense.
Now it was simply a robot harvesting crops. However, how many people will lose their jobs if more technology is developed here and artificial intelligence develops.
It’s not the fear of artificial intelligence like Skynet in the movie Terminator, it’s probably the fear of losing your job.
On the contrary, there will be an expectation mixed with not having to work.
“Well, what will happen next?”
“No! The representative shouldn’t say that!”
“Yes? Why?”
“No… but I was wondering if there was some sort of countermeasure or something.”
“hahahahaha, what kind of preparation is it? Will I be prepared by preparing for that? And… I am a developer.”
“developer?”
“Yes. I am a person who develops and invents, and such social issues will be taken care of by those of high rank.”
“I guess this is also the trend of the times.”
did someone do that? How the great flow of the times is created.
After all, wouldn’t the modern society be a huge flow of technological development?
“By the way, now Google must have been hit hard in the back of the head?”
“Yes? Why do you think so?”
“Well, that’s true. Google dragged it with aggro and promoted artificial intelligence tremendously, but suddenly a strange guy came out and said that he made an automatic harvesting artificial intelligence robot. Should I say that the promotional effect is taken away?”
“What a strange guy…”
“Ah, from Google’s point of view.”
“Well, did we do it because we wanted to do it? It would have caught our eye more if we had aggro earlier?”
“Well, anyway, that’s not what I want to say, but what will Google do in the future? Did it simply try to increase corporate value with artificial intelligence?”
“If you were going to do something with real A.I., you wouldn’t get aggro like that.”
“Hmm.”
“Don’t worry too much. There’s no direct competition with Google yet.”
“The word ‘still’ is a bit harsh.”
Literally still.
As Minseok said, it is expected that it will sooner or later collide head-on with Google. It’s because the business direction of giant IT companies will be similar.
It wasn’t just the business direction that was the same.
We also had to grow the NF network one day, and to do so, cooperation from global IT such as Google and Apple was essential.
If you can’t cooperate… … .
‘Did I break it?’
The new digital era was opening little by little, but I thought it was still a long way off.
“hahahaha, let’s not worry too much. We are not a company that lags behind in terms of technology. Let’s go as it should.”
“Yes! So what are we going to do now?”
“First of all, I think we need to develop a little more products with artificial intelligence.”
“Oh, do you have any?”
“There are several, but two are on my mind right now: autonomous driving and an interpreter.”
“Oh? When it comes to self-driving, you mean a car, right? And an interpreter…”
“Haven’t I always been bad at English? I don’t have enough time to learn, and I thought I’d need it.”
I always had to carry an interpreter with me when I went on a business trip. Of course, it wasn’t particularly inconvenient, but since we didn’t have a direct conversation, should we say there’s a little mistranslation?
So I tried to learn English… … .
‘Ah, studying isn’t my taste either.’
In a way, I studied a lot in the field of science and engineering, but I thought it was fun rather than studying.
So I opened the book, wondering if English would be fun, but I fell asleep right away.
‘If it’s inconvenient, I’ll make it.’
reached that conclusion.
“Heh heh, he’s not trying to solve his shortcomings by studying… he’s solving them with technology. You have a completely different way of thinking, right?”
“……Do you think that would be faster than studying?”
“Crazy. Seriously, geniuses think differently than normal people.”
“Is that so…? The power of modern technology is greater than we thought.”
“Well, isn’t the representative great?”
“Ha ha ha, let’s work.”
“Yes. I’ll go! Have a hard time.”
“yes~”
Researcher Jung thought about going back.
‘Well, first of all, it would be easy to make autonomous driving and an interpreter. The problem is different.’
The MI system that creates weak artificial intelligence has already been created in the NF network. It wasn’t too difficult as long as there was data, but… … .
‘How do I create strong artificial intelligence?’
It was because of strong artificial intelligence that I became interested in artificial intelligence after all.
Artificial intelligence that thinks the same as humans. Just imagining it made my heart feel bigger.
‘Once you make it, you’ll see a clue.’
I’m guessing, I thought there might be some hints in the NF network.
