Rebirth 09: Synthetic Male God

Chapter 993: Children, Times Have Changed

Fu Rui Group has completed the preliminary acceptance of the "Jia Shou Rocket Base". This rocket launch base, which cost tens of billions of dollars and took nearly two years to build, is about to be officially put into use.

More Taiyi workers will come by chartered flights after the National Day and settle here, and the world's largest rocket launch center will gradually be activated.

For Ryukyu, the most important and meaningful industry since its reconstruction has finally passed Zhou Rui's acceptance. In the future, it will radiate tens of thousands of jobs and more related economic activities, and cultivate countless industrial workers and engineers.

In the future, Ryukyu will definitely not be just a tourist destination that relies on beaches and fisheries.

The most important thing is, as long as the Kade Rocket Base is there, Master Zhou will not give up Ryukyu.

When they first met Master Zhou, the prerequisite for the other party to invest in reconstruction was this rocket base.

So when Zhou Rui announced the official opening, the Ryukyu side was even happier than the Fu Rui Group. The people of the Fu Rui Group just clapped their hands, while Onaga Zhixiong directly hugged his son, Shang Zhi looked up at the sky and breathed a sigh of relief, and Xinyuan Yui had tears in the corners of her eyes.

We have found strong evidence that Ryukyu will get better and better.

Afterwards, the part of the Fu Rui Group that was going to stay in Ryukyu stayed to familiarize themselves with their colleagues in Ryukyu, while the others returned to the Sunset Hotel.

Their schedule was relatively easy from then on, but Zhou Rui had to participate in the "joint burial rehearsal". After resting for a night, he set off for northern Ryukyu.

9 month 28 day.

It is also the first day of the three-day joint rehearsal.

Observers from twelve countries were sent to observation points respectively. When they set off, they were told that today's content would all be land projects.

On the way, French observer Ophir looked out the window at the venues that were somewhat familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar, and couldn't help feeling mixed emotions.

About nine years ago, when he was still a young man in his twenties, he trained in Ryukyu for several months.

Oh yes, it was called Chongshen at that time.

The funeral venue he arrived at this time was the former military base of a certain American bacterium that he was very familiar with.

That's why he was sent as an observer.

In name, this is Ryukyu's own training ground, but.
It is a true reflection of the changes of the times. If someone had said back then that this place would be owned by a certain Eastern power in a few years, he would probably have laughed for the whole summer.

The car drove inside. This was originally a training ground, so most of the space was occupied by open space, with only some buildings on the edges.

Many members of the funeral procession have arrived.

But when Ophir looked from a distance, he thought there were very few people, maybe only three or four hundred?

The other side even sent the "Leviathan", so even if it's just an appetizer, it shouldn't be such a small scene.

All electronic devices were confiscated and after three security checks, there would be corresponding video footage of the burial rehearsal, but free filming was not allowed and they could only observe with their naked eyes.

Observers are not surprised, as this can be considered an industry practice.

The group walked a few hundred meters and finally arrived at the observation point next to the training ground.

Ophir saw a familiar figure and his eyes lit up!
Just as rumored, this person is indeed here!

I saw the famous Master Zhou, wearing a white shirt, standing in the shade, looking out with a telescope.

Ophir immediately stepped forward and said in English:
"Mr. Zhou, I didn't expect to meet you here!"

Zhou Rui turned around and smiled. Although he didn't know him, he still seemed very approachable.

In the next two days, he would inevitably be together with the observers from the twelve countries, because in theory he was also an "observer".

In this funeral rite, the Ryukyu side was the biggest supporter, and he should be considered the second biggest supporter.

The organization hopes that he can make these people truly understand and believe when something unreasonable happens.

Don’t just look around, or you’ll think we’re doing some special effects!

Zhou Rui said: "There will be many products manufactured by Furui Group this time, and I also want to verify the effect of the equipment."

When Ophir heard this, his eyes lit up.
More people came up to greet Zhou Rui, and for a moment even the real host "Bao Guilong" was ignored, but he didn't care.

Observation points are specially set up in places with wide views, while command and personnel dispatch are actually located elsewhere.

The entire area has actually been mobilized.

On the training ground, many black target boards were erected on a small hill, and there were some shelters similar to trenches and ruins near the targets, which seemed to simulate enemy positions.

If you know the business, you can see that this is a standard highland defense fortification, and there are even reinforced concrete bunkers.
Today's live-fire drill is a one-sided live-fire exercise, that is, the red side uses live ammunition, and the blue side only has some targets and simulated targets.

This is for "visual effect" considerations. If there were real people on the blue side, everyone would have to use blank bullets and paint bullets, which would not be able to truly reflect the intensity of the "firepower".

The observation team of nearly 100 people moved to the second floor of the observation point, which was a semi-open terrace covered with camouflage tarpaulin.

The terrace was empty except for a battlefield communication station in the corner. In the middle of the terrace, there was a metal platform several square meters in size, only half a meter high, with regular metal patterns on it, as if they were spliced ​​together.

Everyone was stunned when they saw this thing. As professionals from various countries, many people recognized what it was.

The "intelligent command system" that Taiyi has demonstrated many times completely overturned the aerospace command mode when it was first unveiled. At that time, the outside world speculated that this technology might also have great value in combat command.
Zhou Tuoer Rui came online and took the initiative to say: "This is our company's 'smart sandbox'. In order to make it more intuitive for all observers, in addition to the command center, we have also set up one here."

He looked at the people who were eager to try and reminded them, "Don't touch the interference. Besides, it hasn't started yet."

Many people pursed their lips, becoming more and more curious about what the first project would be.

Until I heard the broadcast: "Project One, Intelligent Mechanical Reconnaissance, participants, please take your positions."

The next moment, a row of soldiers dressed in extremely exaggerated attire walked to the front of the observation point.

There are ten people in this row, each wearing a non-powered exoskeleton and fully armed. They are wearing attire similar to tactical helmets. There are also some straps on their thighs and chests, but it is unclear what they are tied to.

Orders were passed down the chain of command.

"The personnel are in place, the intelligent machines are in place, and the application begins."

"permit!"

"Lü Xubo, Qian Long, get out of line and get ready!"

Among the ten people, a strong and sturdy figure, and a strong, domineering and tall figure took a step sideways and walked out of the queue.

Needless to say, Lu Xubo was the focus of everyone as soon as he stepped out, including Zhou Rui, who was also staring at his good brother.

The other person, Qian Long, is also one of the top intelligent commanders.

The two men moved in unison, stepped out of the line together, checked their equipment together, and put on camouflage command gloves together.

The synchronization rate is full.

Immediately afterwards, the engineers nearby began to quickly build a command cabin in front of Qian Long. The modular design allowed them to build a frame structure with six screens within a few minutes.

This kind of thing has never been exposed before, and this time it is shown to you openly.

In fact, this is also the first official appearance of the "intelligent mechanical warfare" concept after it was announced.

But for some reason, there were two people on the line, but only one command cabin.

Qian Long took the lead and stood in the command cabin, surrounded by screens and everything else.

Another confirmation was sent through the command system that the observers could not hear.

A few minutes later, Qian Long suddenly made several gestures.

Several small drones came flying in from the side, forming a string.

"Shh! Shh! Shh!"

The drones formed in a line quickly dispersed when approaching the "target hill" and began to circle from all directions.

In less than 20 seconds, they gathered into a line from the other side and left the airspace.

Then, the "smart sand table" in the observation point surged, and amid the exclamations of everyone, the terrain of the hill was constructed in detail.

Every trench, every bunker, every ups and downs and steepness are clearly visible.
Such terrifying battlefield perception efficiency made everyone gasp.

Once the funeral procession began, each item was arranged very tightly, with almost no gaps. Soon, new content was heard on the broadcast:

"Project Two: Fire Suppression."

Qian Long gestured continuously, and several yellow dragons appeared on the right edge of the training ground. Then, dozens of large drones appeared from the side, stirring up the dust.

Just look at this handsome drift in the air, and no one can help but exclaim "Wow".

The key is that the whole process is neat and uniform, without any confusion.

After these large drones drifted and turned, they lowered the mechanical dogs on their bellies at a height of four or five meters. Without waiting for their teammates to land, they activated their self-equipped .45 double-barreled submachine guns to suppress the hill with firepower.

The black target fell down with a clang.

After landing, the mechanical dogs stood up steadily. The weapons on their backs were varied, including light machine guns, recoilless guns, grenade launchers, and even radar dishes. It was obviously a cluster with very comprehensive functions.

Together with the planes, they fired bursts of fire and pressed forward.

The mechanical dog walked forward silently, while the weapon gimbal on its back searched for enemies and rotated on its own. The cruelty of the machine was displayed vividly, and black targets fell one after another, and some were even blown away.

Inside the observation point, the observers from the twelve countries remained silent, and some even forgot to use their telescopes.

Zhou Rui didn't know when, but he had a cigar in the corner of his mouth, put on a pair of sunglasses on his face, and chuckled in his heart: This is just the beginning.

Item 3: Vehicle destruction.

At this time, several tanks and infantry fighting vehicles appeared on the back of the hill.

The observers held up their binoculars, their faces darkening.

They were all M-type equipment, three M2A3s (Bradley infantry fighting vehicles) and two M1A2s (Abrams main battle tanks).

This is already the absolute main model of the M type. For most observer countries, it is a top-notch product that they cannot afford or buy.

No matter who you sell to, you will have to rack your brains to win them over and flatter them!

However, the condition of these five vehicles is special. They are all scrapped products after the tsunami. The outer shells are still acceptable, but the insides have long been completely scrapped. They only have appearance and armor strength.

They are mounted on fixed slide rails and serve only as supporting roles in the funeral procession.

As soon as the five vehicles appeared, they were attacked fiercely by the mechanical dog army. Explosions spread around them like raindrops. An M2A3 exploded directly and turned into a huge fireball.

It was the recoilless gun on the back of a mechanical dog that directly contributed to the success.

However, after one was shot down, the mechanical dogs with recoilless guns stopped moving.

Leave the opportunity to others.
The next moment, several suicide shuttles flew over and quickly crashed into an infantry fighting vehicle from multiple different directions, and the explosions sounded continuously.

Then, at some point, a spherical robot the size of a basketball emerged from the ground, rolled along the ground at an extremely fast speed, and drilled directly under the car.

There was another huge explosion, and the top cover of the main battle tank flew more than ten meters high.
Seeing these things that can't even be bought, and a few of them can change the balance of power in a small area, being sent to the west in various ways, the observers felt nervous.
It was not difficult for them to see that although the blue team was just a target, even if they were fully equipped and could fire freely, they would definitely not be able to defend against such a fierce unmanned offensive.

"Project Four: Trench Clearing."

"Project Five: Targeted Attacks."

"Project Six: Collaborative Charge."

After six projects in a row, the hill was plowed inside and out.

A "standard defensive fortification" was staged, from being discovered to being buried alive.

There is nothing left on the hill, but the commander's sandbox still faithfully reflects the changes in the terrain, because when the intelligent machines attack, they will constantly update their mimicry.

Just when everyone thought it was over, they suddenly heard:

"Project Seven: Construction of a temporary command point."

Everyone was a little confused. The command point seemed to be a temporary command point with a semi-open structure surrounded by several screens. What kind of thing was it?
Soon, they had their answer.

There was a dangerous buzzing sound in the sky.

Looking up, I saw something that looked like a D-bomb falling from the sky.

"No! Get down!!!"

A "Yaw Fang" observer shouted.

It's over! These guys have messed up. How dare they mess around with D-bombs? How big is this training ground?!

Many people just lay on the ground. They had all received professional training and reacted quickly.

However, after a while, the D bullet did not fall. When they looked up again, they saw that the thing was not getting faster, but slower.
Even when it reached above the training ground, one could see with the naked eye its slowly falling trajectory.

Obviously it won’t be a D bomb.

The "barking party" who was the first to lie down patted the dust off his body awkwardly, stood up, and his face was burning.
"Ahem, sorry for the instinctive reaction."

Lu Xubo, who had been standing there doing nothing, appeared nearby at some point and raised one hand with the back of his hand facing the falling white column.

A white column several meters high unfolded on its own, with more than thirty drones flying out from above, and at the bottom, three screens unfolded horizontally, like unbuckling a belt.

In fact, if you get close, you can even hear its voice:
"The key pairing has been successful. Hello, Your Excellency the Intelligent Commander."

More than 30 drones were officially under Lu Xubo's control.

These more than 30 drones are not as diverse as before, and their firepower is not as fierce as before, but with the support of excellent intelligent commanders, they are enough to achieve a surprise effect in a small-scale frontal battlefield.

Of course, this alone is not enough.

Today is going to shock everyone.

"Project Eight: Omnic Support."

After the broadcast, another meteor appeared in the sky, approaching
In fact, the timeliness of the "return capsule technology" is far from being so timely. These two were sent down in advance, but it is understandable for a funeral rehearsal.

But this "meteor" was different from the previous ones, it did not slow down significantly.

Thousands of meters above the ground, it suddenly split in the middle, and the upper part scattered into countless black spots.

"No! Get down!"

The observer, who had just gotten up, scored twice with an instinctive reaction.

This must be a cloud bomb! It's over! These guys have gone awry!
After a while, the earth-shattering explosion he had imagined did not happen, so he looked up.

Those black spots turned out to be small fixed-wing drones.
So I awkwardly prepared to stand up a second time.

With a loud bang, a violent explosion brought up smoke and dust, sweeping across the observation point.
The lower part of the airdrop capsule turned out to be a heavy-duty "bomb".

This is the perfect combination of "support" and "firepower".

The scarred hill was completely covered in smoke and dust.

Newly emerged drones cruised above the smoke and dust like vultures circling above a battlefield.

In the dust, Lu Xubo pulled on his visual helmet and took off the safety of the rifle in his hand, like the god of death in the wind.

Slowly walked into the smoke.

"Project Nine: Cleaning the Battlefield"

Inside the observation point, the observers were silent.

Even before coming here, we had estimated this joint rehearsal to the highest possible degree.
But just on the first day, the first major item made them feel the huge absurdity.

Especially those members of small countries, they can't even understand whether this is a generation gap, or a generation gap? Or a gap of eighteen generations?

For thousands of years, China, which loves farming, has been the center of the Asian continent. In ancient times, it was called the "Country of the King and Father."

Now, many netizens jokingly call it the "Father Country".

Although it is not a compliment, it carries a sense of helpless sarcasm and irony.

Today, they felt like a tall and majestic father patted them on the head and said:

Boy, times have changed.
