Technology: Breaking the Global Monopoly

Chapter 2004

Currently, the first- and second-tier military powers on the blue planet are all seeking to apply intelligent AI to the field of warfare.

For example, detailed data from major battles are collected and fed into the war AI program. Through investigations into the current war environment, the strengths and weaknesses of military services, logistics and other aspects, the war AI's auxiliary decision-making technology is introduced into the command and control system. By decentralizing the combat system, making command and control highly intelligent, and de-platforming the use of force, a new war model for multi-domain operations has been explored.

With the addition of more advanced drone technology, radar technology, virtual reality technology, and intelligent control technology, the three-in-one strike by sea, land, and air is no longer what it used to be.

Gu Qing's story made old man Zheng Yongsheng absent-minded for a moment.

Having worked and lived in Anxi for decades and having been planning major projects in recent years, he knew very well the reality that Gu Qing mentioned.

A few years ago, when Anxi and Zhongyuan were pursuing a multi-service joint and intelligent development strategy, the military leaders on Uncle Sam's side also simultaneously proposed combat concepts such as "joint all-domain operations" and "distributed maritime operations", all of which were supported by the core technology group of artificial intelligence.

Zheng Yongsheng still remembers that the Pentagon has applied for more than $500 million in the budget for the past few fiscal years to launch the "Venom" project, hoping to widely apply artificial intelligence engines to various current and future aircraft types, so that the aircraft can acquire autonomous flight capabilities.

Moreover, in some important battlefields that are still ongoing, elite military services can use AI to forge audio and video on a large scale, issue false commands, set cognitive traps, and other means to disrupt the thinking of the enemy's local people and even sabotage combat operations.

In a sense, artificial intelligence is a new factor in warfare and is rapidly penetrating into every corner of the military field. Intelligent warfare has become the mainstream trend of future wars.

However, this kind of war cannot be sustained by ordinary combatants. It must be supported by new-generation information technologies such as artificial intelligence, communication networks, and big data processing before relevant military weapons can be used.

Informatization and intelligence are not only the development trend of the entertainment and education industries, but also the development trend of unmanned combat system technology.

After pondering for a moment, Mr. Zheng Yongsheng finally spoke: "Over the years, since we reached a cooperation, your company has developed from multi-purpose, manned and unmanned collaboration, and ground unmanned systems have developed towards autonomy.

The equipment displayed this time, such as the Ant Nest system, reconnaissance and strike drones, and intelligent unmanned combat vehicles, are able to maintain stable combat for a long time in complex environments, greatly expanding the scope of combat missions. They will also play an extremely important role on the battlefield in the future.

Although our current communication channel is an encrypted satellite channel, some projects still require you to come in person to discuss. When are you free? In the second half of the year, so that I can coordinate other work. "

During this phone call, Gu Qing noticed that there were occasional hidden meanings in Mr. Zheng's words.

but……

Looking at the various sophisticated equipment in his operation room, Gu Qing also thought for a while before replying: "Our Jiuzhou Technology's military-industrial cooperation project focuses on developing drones, technological electronic equipment that can be responsible for reconnaissance, surveillance and strike missions, as well as biological projects that improve the physical fitness of individual soldiers.

At present, the development wave of unmanned combat system technology has reached a small stage of limitation. The performance of traditional military equipment has been greatly improved, and a large number of new concept weapons and equipment have been put into service.

We at Jiuzhou Technology will persist in deepening our cooperation. The team members sent to your unit this time are basically elites in these two development directions. I believe they will be able to add icing on the cake for our cooperation.

As for me, I won't be able to spare any free time at least before September, but after September, no matter how the progress of this experimental project is, I will make time to handle the company's business.

  By then, the second "Omnic Crisis" Global Martial Arts Tournament will be officially held. Mr. Zheng, how many outstanding talents are you preparing to participate in the competition this time?

I can tell you secretly that this time, Jiuzhou Technology has joined hands with other companies and institutions to prepare a lot of good things for the top ten. We must not let the good things flow to outsiders."

Fertilizer does not flow into outsiders' fields.

When Mr. Zheng heard Gu Qing's hint, the frown on his face relaxed a little.

  The distant trumpet sounds had been blown away by the Gobi desert sand. The old man nodded and laughed with a tired voice, "Hahaha, what you said is true. If it's ours, then it's ours, and no one can take it away!

This time we will relax the restrictions and allow outstanding fighters to show our strength on another stage!

It’s getting late. You just got off work and I, an old man, am calling to disturb you. You should go have some breakfast and get some good sleep.

You are the sun in the morning, and you must have a healthy body to shine more light and heat."

Hearing this, Gu Qing also laughed out loud.

"Hahaha, I still remember you said that man is iron and rice is steel."

"That's right, steel needs to be smelted and iron needs to be beaten, swords need to be sharpened and guns need to be polished!"

After chatting, the two friends, who were several decades apart in age, hung up the encrypted satellite phone.

Old Master Zheng thought of what had happened in the Anxi Gobi Desert over the years. There was a slight smile on the corners of his old mouth. His thin figure maintained an upright posture like a Gobi poplar.

He put down the phone, packed up his equipment and documents, pushed open the doors, and walked out of the office.

There are loud singing voices floating in the distance.

"Steel needs to be forged and forged, swords need to be sharpened and guns need to be polished, soldiers love the military training ground, sweat waters the heroic flowers... Keep the sacred mission in mind... Show your skills in the information world, and the guards have a great responsibility on their shoulders..."

Although everyone has stopped drinking "Taoyao", Anxi military scientists have developed a series of mild medicines based on reverse prescriptions and techniques to improve physical fitness and promote physical development again.

The soldiers, who are strong and have tight muscles, run long distances with heavy loads in the Gobi Desert.

After verifying his identity, Gu Qing entered the first basement garden of the lunar base.

After years of cultivation in space, the bees and butterflies that have successfully survived are dancing among the flowers, and intelligent robots are patrolling not far away.

After the other team members left, only Gu Qing and another lucky winner, Yu Hongbin, were left at the lunar base. Although they were on the same planet, they only met occasionally during dinner because of their different work. After these few days of contact, Yu Hongbin's admiration for Gu Qing did not decrease because of the close contact. On the contrary, because of Gu Qing's erudition and his high level of knowledge in each sub-field, Yu Hongbin has completely become a "fanboy".

Now, if Yu Hongbin encounters any difficult problems in his work and study, the first thing he does is not to seek help from AI Tiangong, but to think about how Gu Qing would solve the problem if he encountered such a problem.

Although his work efficiency has decreased a little, his personal mastery of knowledge has improved.

I don’t know if it’s because his body has reached another level of development, but when Gu Qing stepped into the small garden, butterflies and bees swarmed in front of him as if they had noticed the most beautiful flowers for the first time.

In the absence of wind, each of the space experimental plants slowly and lightly moved their green leaves in the direction where Gu Qing was.

In a space of one hundred square meters, Gu Qing walked to a piece of processed basalt and sat cross-legged in meditation.

With his eyes slightly closed, every word that Mr. Zheng said in the satellite communication echoed in Gu Qing's mind.

In a real large-scale war, drones are an important factor, but they are not strategic weapons that can really determine victory or defeat.

Jiuzhou Technology, DJI, and several other military-industrial enterprises have integrated reconnaissance and strike drones.

  Above drones, the real decisive force in the military field is space military technology!

There is no doubt that weapons that can maintain rapid response, have both offensive and defensive capabilities, and integrate air and space within the planet are the real decisive force.

Thinking of this, Gu Qing slowly exhaled.

“To win a real large-scale war, you had to control space, the ground, the sea lanes, and now you have to control space as well.

The flags of SpaceX and other Western technology companies in the space field have been removed one by one by Jiuzhou Technology, which I control. Even the Daxia Aerospace Group, which was once the world's number one, can only be ranked second now and is seeking data assistance from Xinghai Company.

We must advance and improve space strategies, deploy space equipment, and seek an advantageous position in the space field.

Although I have always expressed the view that cooperation is win-win, they still have to test out my true thoughts. Perhaps this style of behavior that requires both cooperation and caution will allow us to go further.

A few years ago, Uncle Sam established the fourth Space Force Operational Command, the Futures Command, based on the three major commands. Originally, they were supposed to make up for the shortcomings of space equipment manufacturing that they can control by integrating the commercial aerospace advantages cultivated by NASA's original technological heritage, but because of the series of moon landing projects led by me, they completely turned into a dream bubble.

According to the investigation of Xuanwu and other intelligence channels, the Russian side has been trying to build up space military power and establish an aerospace force with the intention of competing for dominance in space. Therefore, in recent years, they have allowed our company to explore mineral resources in their inland area, step by step to show goodwill.

In addition to the fact that we have provided Mao Xiong with a large number of high-paying and excellent jobs, the important point is that we want to cultivate friendship and then take the path of cooperation with Daxia Aerospace Group to establish a relationship with Xinghai Company..."

I don’t know if it’s because of where I am now, which is physically outside the big chessboard of Blue Star, but Gu Qing can see the cooperation between the company and major national and regional markets in recent years as clearly as a mirror.

From satellite navigation to space reconnaissance to the space weapons that have been deployed, the competition among these aerospace powers in the space field foreshadows the diversification and complexity of future warfare.

At this moment, looking from the moon, Gu Qing felt much calmer.

After years of operation, he is no longer a chess piece, and finally he no longer needs to be a chess player.

“However, Blue Star’s resources and connections still require my presence to manage, and right now the impact of the lunar base on the human body cannot be completely isolated.

The ubiquitous radiation can be isolated by isolation materials, but the impact of the low-gravity environment on the organs and muscles of the body cannot be dealt with in a short period of time."

Feeling emotional, Gu Qing did not open his eyes, but he could clearly sense that many butterflies and bees had settled around him, and even the loaches and crawling insects cultivated in the soil were stationed around him.

And at this moment, in a crater outside the lunar base.

With the help of the lunar exploration robot, Yu Hongbin wanted to sit on the lunar soil, but considering the intricate equipment and circuits inside the space suit, although the engineers said he could walk, sit or lie down at will, he still carefully chose to stand.

The moon is the only natural satellite of the blue planet. When he was a child, Yu Hongbin looked up at the bright and clear moon and actually wondered seriously whether there really were Guanghan Palace, Taiyin and Chang'e on this planet.

However, after engaging in aerospace industry, he realized that due to the lack of protection from the atmosphere, meteorites in space could easily hit the moon, thus forming craters of various sizes on the lunar surface.

"Well, this angle looks pretty good. You can see the loneliness and magnificence of space, as well as the vastness of the moon. But these holes... Well, we should go a little further away, lest those people discover the true location of the base.

Although the specific coordinates will be announced later, it is better to be disturbed later than later. "

As a fanboy of Gu Qing, Yu Hongbin certainly knows that his boss Gu hates those Western aerospace organizations, and he himself also hates those hypocritical Western scientists.

After sighing a few words, Yu Hongbin continued to walk and jump into the distance under the protection of a team of robots. Occasionally, when encountering some dangerous environments, these robots were able to detect them in advance and avoid danger.

When Hong Bin needed food and drinks, he did not drink his own food and drinks first, but used the supplies carried by the robot team.

Night slowly fell and the moon gradually rose above the treetops.

In the evening news program of Daxia, the host said to the camera with a very excited expression: "A few years ago, the test of Asia's largest high-altitude simulation test bench at the Tongchuan Test Center of Daxia Aerospace Science and Technology Sixth Institute was successfully completed, marking a major breakthrough in the key technology of the main reduction engine of Daxia manned lunar landing project, which effectively guarantees and supports the smooth implementation of the manned lunar exploration project.

Today, Daxia Aerospace Group and Jiuzhou Xinghai Company, two of our most outstanding aerospace companies in Daxia, have already realized the manned lunar landing project..."
