People's Federation will live forever

In the lair, beta has prepared enough resources for the Human Federation to last for ten years. These interstellarists selflessly provided us with countless purified minerals, and the Human Federation of course accepted it with a smile.Therefore, a large-scale factory cluster of the same size as Kamchatka is being built here. The population we have attracted from overseas, North Africa and East Asia will enrich the production here. Everything is planned, and the call for an attack on the upper Yansko lair is launched. It is gradually rising!

People here occasionally cast their eyes on the man and woman, and see that they are both wearing similar black knee-length single-breasted coats, walking with the same size.The man's white-gloved hands are behind his back, while the woman's hand is holding a ceremonial saber. Neither of them is wearing a hat, and they don't seem to care much about the big construction site. Sometimes, the East Asian man would enthusiastically wave to the workers.

But since the patrolling soldiers all saluted them respectfully, they must be the big shots who came to patrol.The workers couldn't help but straighten their backs, showing a diligent look, but fortunately, the pair of big shots didn't bother them.The man kept pointing out blocks of the construction site to the woman, and the two had an intense exchange.

"I believe he is a person who is absolutely loyal to Renlian. I have never seen a more ... rational person than Siegfried. He has almost no selfish desires. It seems that everything he does is for Renlian."

Olivia commented that this is definitely a high evaluation: "It seems that he loves the cause of the People's Federation more than you and I, so that public and private are integrated."

"The council questioned him not because he was worried about his rebellion, because it was impossible. They were worried that Siegfried had undertaken and completed such a heavy responsibility, and his political prestige would be unrivaled. Anya has submitted her resignation to me, the next consul There is now a lot of competition for the position and they are afraid of Siegfried."

Li Wei sighed but smiled again: "Siegfried is capable, so I sent him to North Africa. But being capable does not mean that you are loved by others. The most important thing to be in charge of the council is to be able to coordinate everyone In this job, the proportion of favor is higher than ability. If we compare the People's Federation to a company, we don't want a boss who is so cruel and unreasonable. Even if he is capable, the hidden governance costs will be higher. "

"It's really troublesome. The army is much simpler than this."

Olivia complained, and Li Wei also complained-so Olivia, you can only take care of the military.

Who will be the next chief of the council... This is the end of this topic, they have already walked to the lair, the core of this battle, the polygonal tower made of high-density polymers produced by beta Much of the bombardment had collapsed, and the wreckage had been cleared away, leaving only a military-held entrance leading deep underground.

"Boss, you're here, wow!"

Seeing the two walking side by side, Cole blew his whistle, and the guarding soldiers opened the elevator. He accompanied the two to a kilometer deep underground while explaining.

"Boss, it's big enough to build a dungeon down here. These bugs are really good at digging holes. It takes hours to drive around in it. How did you kill that core?"

"It was Irena, she destroyed the nest by herself. Beta couldn't stop the attack at the microscopic level. We encountered ten Serbs below, but none of them survived for ten seconds before being disemboweled. "

There is no one more suitable for dealing with enemies of orders of magnitude than Nanami Hongbo. Li Zhi mentioned the old days, when he saw the core of the nest with his own eyes - the glowing big octopus was disturbed by tens of thousands of sharp blades released by Irena before it could react. crumbled to pieces, to be swallowed up by the torrent.From that moment on, the betas in the entire nest became ownerless beasts, running around in a mess. Many small species lost the energy supply of the nest and soon shut down, and the production of the nest was also terminated. There is a chance to hit the front.

Olivia smiled slightly: "The moon lair was also taken in this way, Irena... Without her, we might really have to keep bombing in with nuclear bombs, as expected of my sister."

Li Wei and Cole quickly complimented each other. As the elevator went down, the space became wider. The soil and rocks inside were reinforced by beta biological materials. Even photon bombs did not shake the stability of the structure. This has surpassed The alloy steel currently used by Renlian.

This makes Renlian engineers very excited. They think that cracking this material can raise Renlian's future architecture to a new level, especially considering that beta will nest under planets in various environments, we have reason It is believed that this material can withstand various extreme and even corrosive environments, so we have a sharp weapon for the upcoming interstellar expansion.

"The development of material science focuses on the proportion and process. With the finished product, the research results on the microstructure will not take too long. Leave it to Director Pompeii. Ensig is busy enough."

And beta, since it is a mining machine of an alien civilization, maybe it is just a civilian technology, so it can also get a glimpse of the advanced technology level of the Creator.If you want to ask if the People's Federation has ever worried about the creator of the beta?Worried about a possible silicon-based civilization that launched an automatic biological mining machine many years ago and has no idea how advanced it is?

No, we're not worried, and we can't do the stupid thing that makes a comeback and hits the door.The MUV solar system was the only one that was descended into this universe, and Sira's was also differentiated from here, which means that the creators didn't come here at all-probably, but there is no need to consider this matter in the short term.

The important thing right now is what we can get from the betas—their nest building materials are ready-made breakthroughs in materials science. By dissecting living betas, we have also obtained organic substances called low-metabolic enzymes, which can make the organisms function Reduced to the bare minimum, and guess what?

The medical community was surprised to find a good medicine that can be used for first aid, and the military immediately noticed the value of this substance. As long as there is no brain death, the best rescue time can be obtained with one injection. This is simply the gospel of the frontline soldiers. Greatly boost the morale of soldiers, let them fight bravely without fear of death!

However, what is faster than medical research is actually the anesthetics for the secret service...

The project code-named "Black Tea" has long been equipped with black-handed apostles, well, it's better not to mention this matter again.

"Light-level eyeball research is also going on. The principle of the Hammer of Dawn is that the photon annihilation phenomenon of antiprotons is not equivalent. We want a laser that is more efficient than the current solid-state laser. After all, Bard has successfully done it since the last battle. When it comes to using lasers to fight lasers, although it is slow and has a huge target heavy-ray level, it has already allowed the military staff to deliberate a new combat idea."

Li Wei introduced it to Olivia, and the beauty frowned: "Longling? That little colonel made it? He really... can always give us some new tricks. I thought he was going to use mudslides again." .”

"Longling, if this operation is successful, I've decided to designate him as a major general. He will be our second general after Kanifik."

"He? He's too young. The number of the army is increasing rapidly after the expansion of the army. Such a young general is like a rocket... Sigh, Sira is short of talents, and the officers of the earth need to grow up. With a huge army, even a division one I, the commander-in-chief, will be required for all transfers at the top level."

Olivia complained, and Li Wei was also very helpless: "The young group of friends is growing up. The military academy has produced many top talents. Be patient, the future will be bright. On the other side of the fleet, Michal's nephew, that The boy named Geralt has performed very well, and he has the potential to become the first batch of capital ship captains, there is no limit."

"Michael? The nephew of the person who will be the next consul with the highest voice. Is it not good for their family to think that the military and government have all the influence?"

"We have no reason to prevent citizens from donating to the SUPP, and, do you think I will allow any family politics to exist?"

Li Mo touched his temples with his hands, and after a long landing, they finally came to the bottom of the lair, but what they met was not a welcome, but dazzling flashes of light!

In the wide open space in front of Li Wei and the others, a group of drones with rather strange shapes were buzzing and flying.Unlike the Hu Feng with twin turbofan rotors, these drones are a bit bigger, shaped like a fusiform skull, and a red Hydra totem is painted on the smooth metal shell.

They rely on the exhaust at the bottom to keep them so low that they fly close to the ground.The open space is large enough for these drones to form a battle formation and move forward lightly and quickly—sometimes they suddenly rise to a height of 19 meters, sometimes they suddenly lower to hide in a bunker, and sometimes they drift sideways, as if avoiding invisible enemies .

"Okay, Hydera, the main event is coming, the light level appears, ready for irradiation!"

Bud appeared, this guy was dancing there wearing a VR, and out of a cave 3 kilometers away, a latent focused laser emitter suddenly appeared, locking on to these drones at the moment of appearance, the light level The simulated exposure warnings resounded through the cave!

biu! biu! biu!

PS: Everyone, have a good weekend~ Give me some? (reaches out)

Chapter 210: Military Transformation

The war sirens shrieked and the trumpets sounded loudly announcing the approach of war.In this time of crisis, we call on the army, the armed forces of the People's Federation, and the guardians of our civilization, our society and our people!

And they answered the call, because they are with us, all loyal and brave citizens, put down what you are doing, put on your uniform and take up your arms and go to the gathering place.The military flag of the Iron and Silver Eagle has been raised, and the drums are played to load the bullets!Our war machines have ignited their engines into a storm of steel, knowing that once the storm is formed it will be unstoppable, and that is you, the garrison troops of the Human Federation—

It can't be said that it is impassioned, it can't be said that it is not blood-boiling, and the promotional video of enlisting in the army circulates everywhere on the land of Kamchatka.After the victory of the Battle of Evans, everyone from civilians to soldiers swept away the morale that had been low for decades. People who once needed to be suppressed by high pressure have reunited. Sorrow has been replaced by laughter, and crying has been replaced by triumphant songs. People can finally face the situation with optimism. their lives and have confidence in the future.And of course this is inseparable from the People's Federation that now leads them, and it cannot be separated from the leader they have never seen with their own eyes, and they are only called "leaders".

Don't underestimate the unprecedented public support for us, it's about the legitimacy of our existence.It was these supports that made the subsequent military expansion of the garrison very smooth. Adults joined the army one after another, and the expansion of the army's recruitment also changed from only facing men to accepting a large number of women.There is no objection to this point, after all, the war that concerns the survival of mankind can no longer let anyone go away.The general mobilization of the People's Federation is going on with unprecedented efficiency. From then on, there are only two types of people in this group—soldiers and workers. Even children are also working and studying part-time under the arrangement of the headquarters. It can be said that everything is for the war.

"So, is it worth it?"

The person who said this must be because the workload is not high enough, the foreman shouted, work overtime tonight-the answer is worth it, because we are not targeting other countries militaristically, we are here to save our homeland.

"So far, when the People's Federation has played the banner of 'returning home', the influx of Kamchatka's population has changed from our search everywhere to people coming on their own initiative. During this month, the gendarme intercepted people on the coast After more than 340 smugglings, many survivors from the Eurasian continent smuggled to us from Southeast Asia, Australia and even North America, and formed a gray industrial chain, which is really a miracle in the history of mankind."

Some of them came for the safety of Kamchatka, of course, but many wanted to join the war.These people have not been punished. After all, we not only do not oppose but also strongly support. In the Miri-controlled area where we cannot directly reach out, the agents have already started contacting the snakeheads. Environment, this is a deal that all three parties are satisfied with.

"The purpose of military expansion is not simply to increase military strength. Since the influx of a large number of foreign populations into Kamchatka, the corresponding social management costs have also increased. Different races and different cultures are second to none. The order we established in Kamchatka is different from ordinary ones. The integration of ordinary people also has corresponding costs, and the way with the lowest cost is to let the military complete this process."

At the end of the administrative report, Michal Hunter humbly answered the questions of the members of the council, and his answers in all aspects were fluent and convincing.

There was thunderous applause, and in the holographic image, the congressmen congratulated him: "Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend this meeting. Your work has enabled us to truly realize the idea of ​​the Human Federation on Earth, and let order and peace belong to mankind."

"I'm just doing my duty, and I should be grateful to the front-line executives."

Michal said solemnly, and this attitude won him more applause. Many congressmen have already made a decision in their unspoken hearts.Compared with Siegfried, who will embarrass the questioner in the consultation meeting, we will have a better candidate.

But what does the matter of the big men have to do with the vast number of soldiers in the garrison?In today's Evansk, in the newly established military base, a group of recruits wearing camouflage uniforms and shaved heads are trying to straighten their chests to stand up straighter on the spacious training ground. There are Caucasians, East Asians, and even Middle Easterners. Their languages ​​are different, but they are organized into one class.Everyone in the army was very nervous, because the veterans in big boots, camouflage uniforms and training caps looked at them almost cannibalistically.

"I am, Sergeant Vasily of the Motorized Infantry Regiment, here to supervise you!"

Vasily put his hands on his hips and looked at these recruits with scrutiny. Because of his language skills, he was assigned to train recruits. This former CIA agent almost forgot his identity and devoted himself to this work.

"In the army, we veterans are your best, Big Brother! If there is anything you don't understand, we will tell you kindly!"

"Starting today, I will pay attention to you 24 hours a day. I will personally transform you from a civilian to a soldier. I will do anything for this, because our army needs more than a fool who can only shoot. There are many such people in the military of other countries. Our glorious army requires more from you, responsibility, professional ability, self-discipline, and cultural knowledge to prove yourself to be a useful person. Of course, some of them are not my responsibility. , but I will guarantee that you who have gone through all this will thank me from the bottom of your heart in the future."

but--

"But now, you have to learn to obey order and discipline! Forget everything you saw at the conscription office, our army is the only glorious army in the world that defeated beta head-on, but this has nothing to do with you! What you did, what you did for What did this war contribute to? Shit, nothing!"

Vasily yelled wave after wave, spitting stars directly on the faces of the recruits, and finally he pointed to the new recruits in the row: "Now, report the number, everyone, report your background and the purpose of joining the army to me loudly. Come out, from you, start!"

Translators cannot be used in the army. We currently use Russian uniformly, but in the future plan, everyone must master two or more languages, including Chinese.These recruits have all experienced two weeks of cramming, and they stuttered and began to report. It is conceivable that Vasily will make them howl all afternoon with inaudible reasons. Maybe even an idiot can quickly master the daily language.

This is the role of the army. This melting pot bears the heavy responsibility of social reform and can also cure many people's "stinky problems". The same scene is happening in both Kamchatka and North Africa. According to Michal's analysis, the three The size of the garrison will be expanded to 700 million in one month, and doubled in half a year. These transformed soldiers will become the backbone of the new society after the war, and more than 1000 million people will drive the other 20 billion to complete comprehensive reforms. , there is no better way than this.

Is this an exaggeration?In fact, it is not, because in East Asia, a group of great men have already done it, and Li Wei is just picking up the wisdom of others.

The training ground was full of heat, and the recruits who shouted with broken voices started another five kilometers in the cold wind. Vasily, who was also tired and out of breath, took a sip of water and came to the old company commander, now Lieutenant Colonel Romanov: " Look at what idiots and softies they have recruited into the army, these people will reduce our combat effectiveness!"

"At the beginning, I thought you were the same, why, do you know how I feel?"

The lieutenant colonel said, Vasily smiled awkwardly, but the old company commander is a serious person: "So, if the soldiers you bring out are really that bad, you see how I will deal with you!"

Vasili was excited and ready to supervise the training, but suddenly a whistle sounded outside the base—not a combat alarm, but a warning of troops dispatching, and then under the eyes of everyone on the training ground, a large group of transport helicopters Roaring over the base, these helicopters were all hoisting a large container, looking like they were in a hurry to go.

"What are you looking at, run faster!"

Vasily scolded, but looking back, he himself was also muttering—isn’t it because the expansion of the army is busy training recruits and there will be no large-scale military operations for the time being?I haven't heard any news about the beta invasion either!

On the edge of the Evansk recovery area, in a guard supply outpost, Lieutenant General Kanifik is saluting Li Wei and General Olivia who walked into the room in the command room here. Not only him, but this This small outpost gathers almost all the prominent figures in the guards. If beta wins this place...

That's impossible, because Irena, who looked like a curious baby, followed the two of them. How could we forget the necessary security measures?

"Relax, gentlemen, this is just a test."

Although Li Di said so, no one would relax. Colonel Longling took a step forward: "Leader, Your Excellency Commander! Our army is ready to incorporate our tactical network into the hardware of Hydra's intelligent core. For this test We have deployed drones the size of two regiments of the Guards, and the operation is ready to begin."

"The scale of the battle must be controlled to avoid attracting a large-scale attack by beta." Olivia nodded, "Colonel, what is your staff's assessment of this battle?"

"Yes! The result of the staff deduction is that the drone battle group tested this time will complete a kill of about 1:5, which is enough to annihilate 3 betas. The operation is scheduled to last for [-] hours, and then the firepower density caused by the loss Reduced and wiped out. Then the Guards will take over the fight, nuking a possible mass invasion."

Olivia shook her head: "You guys are too conservative, you might as well be bold."

"The result of the battle is only secondary. The key is to test the new tactics at the reflective line level. If the efficiency reaches [-]%, it can be declared a success."

As Li Li said, Irena leaned over her head: "What's so rare about drones, isn't it used every time? Why don't you just ask me to blow up the lair of Shangyansko if they are so famous!"

No one dared to laugh, but seeing Commander Olivia present, Lieutenant General Kanifik let go and explained to Irena:

"Unlike usual, in the past our drones were commanded remotely by sergeants in the rear, supplemented by pre-programmed fire control as a battlefield supplement. But this time, we will test a war artificial intelligence called 'Hydra', which will Take over the command of the drones and realize the unmanned operation of the entire battlefield. There is no battlefield where there is a living person participating in the battle. This is just a purely technical test, not to wipe out the beta immediately."

Looking at Irena who seemed to understand, Li Wei smiled: "The biggest difference is that the previous drones would only automatically fly all the way to a set target point, but the Hydera artificial intelligence will directly control Each drone allows these machines to have their own independent judgment, just like the machine has a soul and becomes a living person."

"Huh? So that's it."

Irena pointed at Li Wei with a speechless expression: "Why do you make it so complicated, can't you do it? It's the same if you clone yourself to control it. Why do you have to make a repetitive AI for it? It's unnecessary!"

"It's different, the People's Federation can't stop researching artificial intelligence because of me, right?" Li Wei gently pushed away Irena's finger that was sticking to his forehead, "As a leader, I can't always work as a soldier."

And, what about artificial intelligence!Similar to myself but not the same, this is an invention across the ages, and it will definitely change the human world—or it may be destroyed, all of which is still unknown.

"With me here, you can rest assured."

With a wave of his hand, Li Li ordered Carnifik.

"The operation begins, activate the Hydera AI core, authorize the agreement 301, and access the Guard tactical network!"

PS: Everyone, don't be stingy with your barrage and votes, so that the horn will be more motivated.

Chapter 210 AI's Style of Play

Energy input, system ready;

Protocol—301, synchronizing neural network commands, frequency band 5·142·D;

The offensive artificial intelligence - "Hydra" is being activated.

A column of liquid nitrogen cooling tanks was tucked into the three-story metal box by a claw crane manually maneuvered by a Guardsman, and the energy from the fusion power station was connected by a cable as thick as two hands folded.All these processes are completely completed by humans, and all the construction machinery used are physically prohibited from being connected to the Internet. In the highly automated environment of Renlian as a whole, it seems extremely inconsistent.

Not only that, it is also far away from our military base, and there is a whole company of guard soldiers deployed around this experimental device—but they are not here to protect it, on the contrary, they aim their guns at this AI The core, if there is any accident, the guns on hand will mercilessly blast this equipment, which is also a cutting-edge asset for Renlian, into pieces.

"Damn it, I was never so nervous when I entered the lair."

The heavy infantry fighters have already carried the railguns of the power armor on their shoulders, and they will always maintain a combat posture.Someone whispered, and their captain, the man nicknamed Iron Guard, stepped forward with heavy steps.

"This is the first AI of the People's Federation to be connected to the military network. None of us can figure out what will be thought and what will be done in its neural network-like quantum computer."

Will it follow our instructions to perform its mission flawlessly, abide by the restrictions, or... has its own agenda?We can't take chances with AI, no matter whether our technology has reached the height of creating self-aware life or not, this is a difference from the existence of natural creation after all, the unknown is the most terrifying.

The iron arm of the power armor picked up the three Vulcan cannons, the bullets were loaded, and the barrels rotated - the heavy infantry captain ordered through the loudspeaker:

"Final confirmation, you have closed the networking components of your Power Armor, and the brain chip is also temporarily powered off. All decisions are based on personal judgment. Remember, I would rather make a mistake than let it go. I will bear the responsibility!"

"Yes, sir!"

Compared with the supervising heavy infantry who are facing the enemy, the commanders in the front-line outposts are much easier.On the holographic imaging platform, Colonel Longling activated the protocols one by one, concentrated radio waves to increase the power, and combat units were connected to the grid and handed over. During this process, every piece of information exchanged was analyzed by scientists from the Ministry of Industry and Research.

Hydra, activate!

The holographic image was garbled for a moment, and a red emblem of Hydra suddenly appeared in front of everyone, accompanied by a low-pitched male electronic voice.

"Test, test... information integration, over.

I am Hydra. "

After a short silence——"The communication module is online, I am Renlian Military Intelligence, and I am at your service."

"I have retrieved all open military files, integrated 15387 combat reports, completed tactical simulations, and performed 12 combat calculations. Drip. I have mastered the control methods of all the networked tactical units of the People's Federation. I have 730 Improvements can be submitted, waiting for your instructions."

Except for Li Wei and Olivia, everyone present couldn't help showing surprise—it was too fast, so much work was completed in just a few seconds after turning on the machine!Although the files opened to Hydera are not all, it takes more than ten hours to assemble all staff members and use old supercomputers to do this. Is this a neural network built on a quantum computer platform?It's so terrifying!

Olivia glanced at Li Wei: "Can you handle this level?"

"Of course." Li Wei smiled slightly, "Don't underestimate me."

The artificial intelligence continued to say in a voice without the slightest emotion: "I am Hydera, the core command - destroying the enemy of the Human Federation has been listed as the highest priority, you only need to give the order, and leave the rest to me."
