Darkness is Coming

After another period of silence, Yu Qian asked: "I remember you mentioned last time that you have to find a way to provide support to a drone research and development company, so that they can put micro drones into military applications as soon as possible? Are those drones their work? And what about those beams?"

"It should be jointly developed by Dajiang and the military industry department, and the help of Zero One Base must be indispensable in the middle. As for the beam you mentioned, it should be an all-solid-state laser cannon. In the past, the United States used this weapon to shoot down unmanned reconnaissance in the airspace. However, the power should not be so great... It turns out that Liu Yuanzhou was busy with this before."

At the end, Yang Xiaoqian whispered, before the mutant crisis was lifted, Liu Yuanzhou was busy racing against Bai and time, and after the signing of the peace treaty, Liu Yuanzhou still did not focus on solving people's livelihood issues, Yang Xiaoqian always wondered about Liu Yuanzhou's nest What is going on in the underground base, and now finally has the answer.

Whether it is a miniature drone, a land-use close-up gun, a mechanical engineer regiment or an all-solid-state laser cannon, it is not something that can be changed with a slap of the head. Although Liu Yuanzhou is strong, he cannot create things out of thin air like a myth. A breakthrough cannot directly improve combat effectiveness.

Obtain theoretical results from the Zero One Base, then select feasible solutions, and then go to the military industry department and enterprises to manufacture finished products. There are many processes in the middle. After the finished products are developed, a large number of experiments are required, and then product defects are adjusted and modified according to the collected data. , These all require a lot of time and energy. It seems that Liu Yuanzhou's previous energy was mostly used in the research and development of military weapons and high-tech products.

"I know about drones. There are several in my manor. What is this laser cannon? Is the laser light? It means that the light is used as a cannonball to shoot out to kill the enemy? Is the speed of this laser cannonball the speed of light? If it is the speed of light If so, wouldn’t it be an instant hit, so you can’t even hide?”

Yu Qian showed great interest in laser weapons that he had never seen before. Although his question sounded a bit stupid, Yang Xiaoqian could not give an accurate answer. In desperation, he had to invite a personal consultant to answer the questions for Yu Qian. confused.

Yang Xiaoqian, or Yuan Jiuhui, has hired several military consultants. Among them, the military science and technology consultant is a 40-year-old German who speaks standard Mandarin and answers professionally. things, without the slightest bit of cumbersome words.

  Yu Qian couldn't understand what it meant by "the atom is in an unstable excitation state after obtaining energy, and then emits energy in the form of photons", but he confirmed one thing through the explanation of the consultant: the strike speed of the laser weapon is indeed equal to the speed of light.

   "Flying at the speed of light, isn't it invincible in the world? Who can escape?" Yu Qian frowned deeply, feeling threatened.

"Mr. Yu, although laser weapons are powerful, they also have many limitations, and they are especially susceptible to weather effects. For example, the smog in some cities in China is a powerful weapon against laser weapons." The German consultant said solemnly, making it difficult to tell the difference. Is he joking, "If you understand the Vietnam War, you know that the Vietnamese army burned a lot of straw and released smoke bombs, which greatly reduced the effectiveness of the US laser-guided missiles."

"Furthermore, I don't think the power of laser weapons is as powerful as you think. It can't be described as invincible for the time being." The consultant recalled the grand occasion he saw not long ago, turned his eyes and sighed, "However, now I But I can't say for sure. The last time I heard that Huaxia developed a high-power laser weapon that surpassed the US and the Russian Federation, I just listened to it as a joke. I didn't expect it to be put into application on the battlefield so soon, and the actual combat effect was very good. Hey. Now, it seems that the Chinese military is likely to catch up with the latecomers and build space-based laser weapon systems and even space-based laser weapon systems before the United States.”

"Sky-based?" Yu Qian remembered the space-based Internet project that Yang Xiaoqian once said to him, but he didn't care at that time. Now it seems that the significance of the space-based Internet is more important than he imagined. If the vision comes true, any place in the world will Being able to connect to the space-based Internet means that Liu Yuanzhou or Zero One can mobilize omnic armies around the world anytime, anywhere, and even control every networked machine.

   What is this concept? Just imagining it makes one shudder.

   Yu Qian thought solemnly, and the consultant turned his attention to Yang Xiaoqian. Yang Xiaoqian asked seemingly casually: "Did you watch the whole process of the two annihilation battles in Hongkou District? What do you think?"

"Oh, the idea..." The consultant pondered for a while, then replied, "The U.S. federal military once proposed the concept of sea and air integration, and seems to think that the importance of the army is waning, but I have always believed that the army will not fade out of the war stage, and will only move towards Breaking away from the traditional way of development, looking at it now, it is indeed true. The stealth of heavy equipment, modularization of light weapons systems, unmanned battlefield operations, and intelligent long-range strikes are probably the development direction of army weapons in the future. The sub-local battle is simply the best teaching material, which perfectly explains the impact of the information revolution on the means of military warfare."

After speaking, the consultant considered that he should not be too full of words, and added: "However...it's still the same sentence, there are still limitations, in my opinion, Huaxia has to go a long way to build a real robot army. Road, like the omnic corps we have seen, has a tricky component, cannot do all-terrain operations, and is easily disturbed. It is very practical to deal with monsters, but it may not be invincible when dealing with modern troops with limited equipment gaps. It might even fail miserably.”

   At this time, Yu Qian interjected: "For example, an EMP weapon, if an EMP missile hits, all intelligent machines will be reimbursed."

Yang Xiaoqian was noncommittal. After politely asking the military advisor to leave, he turned his head and said to Qian, "Yuanjiao Society can hire advisors, but cannot provide them with confidential information. He doesn't know the existence of Zero One Base and Liu Yuanzhou, so what he did Judgments are not accurate.”

   "Oh?" Yu Qian raised his eyebrows, "How do you say?"

"He thought that what he saw today was the result of secret research of Huaxia Taoguang keeping a low profile for more than ten years or decades, but the fact is that this is probably just Liu Yuanzhou's busy solving the variant and developing strong artificial intelligence in the process, By the way, he said that the omnic can't do all-terrain operations, but now it can use drones as temporary signal base stations, and may use satellites in the future. As for the battery life and weak load of drones, I want to come It won't be long before Zero One Base will be resolved."

"He said that the Omnic Corps can't beat the modern army. That's because he doesn't know the capabilities of Liu Yuanzhou and Zero One Base. You have also seen that round of shelling. Which army do you think has a chance to fight back against Liu Yuanzhou? I'm afraid it will be difficult. Are you sure you can control your own weapon system?"

  Yang Xiaoqian pressed out the cigarette **** in annoyance, pinched his eyebrows in anguish - but he didn't know why he was distressed - said solemnly: "Omnic Corps is not necessarily invincible, but Liu Yuanzhou is."
