Just when General Chen was still immersed in the shock brought to him by the early warning aircraft.

Fang Yu spoke again.

"Although the AWACS is advanced, it's not actually our most advanced equipment."

Fang Yu suddenly said, with a hint of mystery in his tone.

He took out a small device from the inside pocket of his military uniform and handed it to General Chen.

It was a metal card about the size of a business card, less than five millimeters thick, with a micro display embedded on the front and dense circuits and several small interfaces on the back.

At first glance, it looks unlike any existing military equipment and more like a product of some future technology.

"What's this?"

General Chen took the card and looked at it curiously, his eyes full of questions.

"We call it the 'battle skull' system,"

Fang Yu's eyes sparkled with pride.

"This is another revolutionary technology for the Dragon Army. Simply put, it is a battlefield information network system that can display and share battlefield situations in real time."

"Battlefield information network?" General Chen frowned as he pondered this unfamiliar concept, his fingers gently sliding across the smooth surface of the card. "How does it work exactly?"

Fang Yu pressed a small button on the side of the card, and the micro-display immediately lit up, showing an electronic map with a blue background.

"Each soldier carries one of these terminals, along with micro-sensors in their helmet or gear."

"These sensors can collect information about the soldier's location, vital signs, and surrounding environment, transmit it to our central server via an encrypted channel, and then distribute it to each terminal in real time."

He pointed to several moving dots on the display.

"Look, these are the 'War Skull' testers deployed in our hangar. The system is tracking their location and status in real time."

General Chen couldn't help but hold his breath and stare. On the screen, a dozen or so small moving dots were clearly displayed, each with a brief status message next to it.

Name, rank, vital signs, weapon status... even their physical strength consumption and remaining ammunition are all visible at a glance.

"This... this is incredible," General Chen's voice trembled slightly. "You mean, with this system, we can know the exact location and status of every soldier at any time?"

"Not only that," Fang Yu continued to explain, his speech speed slightly faster due to excitement, "the 'War Skull' system can also collect and analyze battlefield environment data."

"For example, the location of enemy firing points, terrain changes, weather conditions, etc. All of this information will be integrated and processed to form a complete battlefield situation picture."

He operated on the card a few times, and the screen switched to a three-dimensional topographic map.

"Most importantly, the entire system is based on the Beidou satellite navigation network that we independently developed."

“Whether in mountainous areas, forests, or urban environments, positioning accuracy can reach meter levels. Even in electronic interference environments, basic functions can still be maintained.”

General Chen couldn't take his eyes off the small display screen.

He had been in the military for decades and witnessed the development of countless weapons and equipment, but he had never seen such a precise battlefield perception system.

For a commander, this is tantamount to opening up a whole new perspective on the battlefield.

"In traditional warfare, the situation on the front line often needs to be reported through layers of reporting before it can be transmitted to the headquarters. This not only causes serious delays but also often leads to distortion of information."

General Chen said thoughtfully that his military intuition allowed him to immediately grasp the core value of this technology.

"With this system, we can grasp the battlefield situation in almost real time, greatly shortening the decision-making chain."

"That's right," Fang Yu nodded in approval. "More importantly, it enables a two-way flow of information. Commanders can not only see the situation on the front lines, but can also send direct orders to specific units or individuals."

"The entire battlefield becomes an organic whole, rather than fragments fighting independently."

Fang Yu then demonstrated more functions of the system: the virtual marking function can mark enemy targets or dangerous areas on the map.

An early warning system can predict possible attack routes based on enemy activity patterns; there is even a simplified fire planning assistant that can provide artillery with optimal firing parameters.

"We have deployed a pilot system to five infantry companies and the results have been very positive,"

Fang Yu added.

"In simulated exercises, the combat efficiency of troops equipped with the 'War Skull' system increased by more than 60% and the casualty rate decreased by 40%."

General Chen shook his head slightly, with huge waves rising in his heart.

"This is not just a technological innovation, but a revolution in the entire concept of warfare."

“Traditional military theory holds that the battlefield is a chaotic environment where information is always insufficient and unreliable, so layers of command structures are needed to filter and process information. But with this system…”

"The fog of battle will be greatly reduced," Fang Yu continued. "Commanders can now 'see' the battlefield directly and make the most timely and accurate decisions."

"Furthermore, this information advantage is multiplied - every unit on our side can coordinate operations based on shared information, while the enemy still relies on pyrotechnic signals and radio communications."

He pointed to the work area on the other side of the hangar.

"We are currently developing the 2.0 version of the 'War Skull' system, which will integrate data from the 'Hawkeye' early warning aircraft to achieve integrated air-ground information sharing."

"In the future, whether it's individual combat or large-scale military operations, we will be able to maintain an overwhelming information advantage."

General Chen suddenly realized something.

"So this is why you are so confident in the combined arms brigade? With this system, small-scale combat units with a high degree of information sharing can indeed exert combat power that exceeds that of traditional large troops."

"That's right," Fang Yu nodded with a smile. "The core advantage of the combined arms brigade lies not only in its mobility and firepower configuration, but also in information sharing and decision-making speed. The 'War Skull' system is tailor-made for this new type of combat unit."

General Chen was silent for a moment, his eyes moving back and forth between the early warning aircraft and the "War Skull" terminal in his hand.

His many years of military service had instilled in him the habit of careful assessment.

But at this moment, his military intuition told him that the two technologies before him had truly changed the basic rules of modern warfare.

"If we deploy this system on the northern border,"

General Chen said thoughtfully.

"Then any military action by the Bear Country will be fully exposed. Their numerical advantage will be greatly reduced because we can accurately identify their weak points and command nodes."

Fang Yu nodded in confirmation.

"We have already started building the infrastructure of the 'War Skull' network in the border areas."

“Once the system is fully operational, even the mechanized forces of the Bear Country, which is so proud of it, will face unprecedented challenges.”

"Xiao Fang," General Chen said solemnly, returning the "War Skull" terminal to Fang Yu, "I must admit that you have once again overturned my understanding of modern warfare."

"This system, combined with early warning aircraft, can indeed enable us to maintain strategic initiative when facing powerful enemies."

He paused, his tone becoming more resolute.

"I will report this to the Central Military Commission immediately and strive to expedite the deployment of these technologies."
