People's Federation will live forever

Lieutenant General Kanifik and all the officers saluted Olivia, and our military commander did not hesitate. After a burst of spectrum scanning and ID authentication, Olivia said:

"Hydera, my order is to use all the resources under your control to wipe out Beta as much as possible until the last soldier."

"Command confirmed."

At the assembly point [-] kilometers away from the post, the containers dropped by the helicopter group had filled the entire wilderness.There were forests of tanks and huge arrays of armored vehicles. The engineers who had completed their preparations stepped up to evacuate by helicopter. All that was left here was a fully automated supply station and a communication unit that was constantly sending out signals.

Suddenly, the unmanned mammoth tanks and wheeled assault guns started their motors and began to move forward slowly.The container was opened like a clamshell, and the sickle mechs with their limbs folded into cubes turned on a red light, and one after another crunched and stepped onto the ground. These sickle mechs have different functions, from the anti-armor 50mm railgun With both heavy machine gun models, a large number of scythe mechas kept up with the tanks, and the fire team was equipped by changing teams and groups during the movement.

"Hydra requests satellite reconnaissance permission."

"Request the guards to directly control the artillery group."

"Request logistics support from the engineering team, the route has been uploaded."

"General, it demands control of almost all our armaments!"

Long Ling frowned, and after Olivia reconfirmed Li Ming's opinion, she nodded slightly: "Limited permission, assign this place as a new war zone."

Everything in the theater is handed over to AI, we just need to watch the show.

After a while, Li Zhi finally spoke: "It's started."

In the wilderness, there was movement on the horizon. It seemed to feel the large amount of electronic equipment in this direction. A flat ground suddenly cracked and a big hole appeared. The red chariot waved its limbs and got up, opening its mouth——

"puff!"

A white burn mark could be vaguely seen in the air, a sonic boom was heard in the distance, and at a speed invisible to the naked eye, a steel nail with a diameter of five centimeters blasted through the front door of the chariot class, tearing and penetrating the monster And smash into the second, third, fourth!One shot, four kills!

This is reasonable for a full-power Mach [-] railgun, but the difference can be seen from the perspective of God from a high-precision satellite.

First of all, the attacking desire of the troops under the control of Hydera seems to be very low, and the target of the attack is not the nearest unit, but the pursuit of maximum killing efficiency.Whenever a few betas are lined up in a straight line, the attack will arrive instantly, and none of the ammunition will miss!

"No matter how good a commander is, it is impossible to pay attention to every detail of the battlefield, and it is impossible to capture the momentary fighters and find the most suitable attacker among hundreds or thousands of units. It is impossible to capture all the best attack moments, and it is impossible for pre-programmed auxiliary VIs to cope with all battlefield mutations."

Olivia frowned, and Colonel Longling immediately reported: "Currently firing 14 times, we have already killed hundreds of units!"

"Under the control of AI, each individual is independent and unified. The processing efficiency of the Gestalt network is nanoseconds, and even if there is a propagation delay, it can be controlled within microseconds. It is naturally impossible for humans to compare with it."

The extreme operation you see is just a stroll in the hands of the AI, but what Li Zhi said made the atmosphere in the command room a little strange, especially when he said the word human.

"Hey, how does it compare to you?" Irena teased, "I've never seen you so good."

"Hey, the processing speed of the hardware determines the upper limit, and it's the same as letting me do it the fastest." Li Mo said, but he wasn't nervous at all.

"Me and it? Let's put it this way."

Li Tang put his hand on Irena's head and rubbed her silver hair - "I have already predicted what it will do next."

Back on the battlefield, the test belonging to Hydera has just begun. Beta has never been a thing that cares about losses. When endless betas converge into a torrent, any strategy will lose its meaning. What is needed then is pure firepower, and this is what the AI ​​with limited troops at hand lacks most!

"Satellite images show a large-scale mobilization of beta in a radius of 300 kilometers, and seismic waves have detected excavation marks. The number of this wave is estimated to be [-]."

One hundred thousand against two thousand UAVs, it was really an interesting battle - on the ground, Hydera's battle group suddenly began to accelerate forward, especially a central protrusion was the fastest, the huge front was dismantled and almost It is to maximize the movement speed of all the bodies without a goal!

Now, we should not only look at a certain piece of equipment, a certain team's excellent performance, nor the accuracy of firepower, because the AI ​​​​shoots never miss.What we want to see is the situation of the entire battlefield. From space, each corps is just a small dot. The beta clusters are densely scattered on the ground and become a mess. It is impossible to predict their trajectory!

"Is Hydera planning to destroy the betas one by one before they gather into a shock group? No, when the whole is surrounded, the betas only need to gather in the center, and the mobility of the armored forces can't keep up with these monsters!"

Boom boom boom, the artillery in the rear started to shoot intensively, and the honeycomb missiles were fired at one time to form an overwhelming barrage across the sky, but immediately a series of lasers flew up from the horizon and destroyed the artillery shots in the air, without landing at all Chance.It seemed that it was no different from fighting with humans, but the artillery suddenly stopped firing after only one round of fire.

"A message from the Artillery Headquarters, the AI ​​only asks them to fire one volley at this point in time... once, what's the use?"

Longling was deep in thought, and Olivia had an idea: "It's useful! Artillery is used to detect light-level positions!"

"Beta's cannon fodder movement trajectory is difficult to predict, but the position of the light level has always been a relatively scattered group, but based on the instinct, the cannon fodder will form a protection for the light level, so we know the outer position."

"Then, the betas instinctively attack the nearby enemies, use the protrusions as bait, and draw a line between the light-level positions and the protrusions. According to the principle of proximity, we can calculate the approximate area where the beta troops gather... If they are just beasts, that's fine. But many battles have proved that Beta has a certain tactical awareness, and this calculation can be established."

Li Wei nodded: "Then, all the battle groups maneuvered at inconsistent speeds and retreated at any time, or exchanged positions. Constantly using bait on the known beta travel route to ensure that the beta travels in the direction we want, so we can always maintain the most Excellent firepower density!"

In the command room, the staff of the People's Federation and even the general were silent.

"Calculation... calculation, I can no longer understand future wars." Kanifik muttered to himself.

Chapter 210: Fear of AI

This is the Artillery Unit of the Guards attached to the theater - it is said to be artillery, but there is not any traditional artillery here.Parked here are three tracked monsters that are as huge as rocket carriers, 50 meters long and 30 meters wide. Four sets of three-meter-high tracks drive these land cruisers to gallop on the wasteland. Marv, this retired veteran is in a special In the battlefield environment, it has regained its brilliance. Just like when we were in Sira, we removed the waste-like sonic turret, leaving only the square chassis and refitting it into a pure bombardment platform that can carry 4 automatic naval guns.

Each cannon can fire at a rate of two shots per second, which is equivalent to a traditional artillery battalion, so three artillery platforms are equal to four artillery regiments.Not only that, the improved MARV uses electromagnetic coil guns instead of traditional rifled guns, which allows us to cancel the propellant and enhance the shooting efficiency of the artillery - no one likes to have to shut down the gun barrel due to overheating during high-intensity shelling ?

Electromagnetic gun, it's really not mysterious, it's just a way of projection, please don't be misled by irresponsible film and television to confuse it with laser - affected by gravity, electromagnetic gun still has a parabolic trajectory on the planet, which is different from traditional artillery The only difference is that it has changed from chemical energy launch to Lorentz force, and there is no essential difference between the electric bombs of naval aircraft carriers in the old era.

Of course, we cannot deny that the electromagnetic gun has almost infinite acceleration, far exceeding the limit of chemical energy, but the effect of firing lasers reaches cosmic speed and rushes out of the atmosphere in a straight line?Yes, but at least these ground-supporting MARVs don’t need it. Relatively low power but twice the initial velocity of traditional artillery is enough to meet current needs, and the interception time provided to the light level is reduced by nearly half——

At this time, marv raised the barrel and fired happily, except for the sonic boom when the cannon was ejected from the chamber, the lack of the explosion and flame of the propellant made the shooting scene of the electromagnetic artillery not so spectacular, only the continuous screaming in the air Nearly a hundred shells flew out while breathing, and the werewolf missile vehicle beside MARV was also ready to go, but only occasionally fired a series of gorgeous and spectacular swarm missiles compared with the continuous and powerful firepower coverage in daily combat It really lacks a lot of flavor.

Yes, taste, whenever we like big scenes, we like to use excess firepower to turn all useful and useless targets into ashes!War should be so bloody and passionate that people can be full of enthusiasm, because for us humans, sometimes inspiration is more valuable than actual efficiency!

However, AI doesn't think so.

In the MARV, the artillerymen of the Guards, uh, they are more like radar operators than artillerymen, sitting on a chair bored at this moment, almost numbly watching the constantly changing pictures on the screen.There is nothing to do, nothing to discuss, and the radio station that keeps sending out emergency communications is also turned off on weekdays, so there will be no news anyway.

"Kick"

An arc lighter lit a cigarette, and wisps of blue smoke spit out from the mouths of the artillerymen.There is no doubt that this is a serious violation of battlefield discipline, but the officer didn't bother to care because he was also smoking.

A group of soldiers were relatively silent, their hands trembling slightly:

"AI is scouting, AI is calculating, AI is marking the firing position, AI is coordinating the firing of the artillery group..."

"We don't know where the enemy is, but the fire control has already entered the data, and it's accurate to 22 seconds, and where to fire after one and a half minutes. Can it predict the future?"

"We didn't even know where to fire the artillery, the results of the shelling came, and the damage efficiency has been calculated."

The soldiers of the Guards looked at the officer with uneasy eyes: "Sergeant, we are sitting in an AI-controlled vehicle now, right?"

The MARV was indeed maneuvering, but they didn't know where they were going. The driver was trembling in his position, and the sergeant looked like he was about to cry.

"Commander Olivia's order, we hand over control... I think, yes, we are under the control of the AI."

"Can we get it back?"

"do not know."

The soldiers stood up, unable to hide their fear: "What if I can't get it back!"

"What if I can't get it back!"

The same words appear in the electronic warfare center, in the logistics department and the most critical air force drone center, especially the guards of the air force base have begun to send their own troops to control the power station and all important departments, and the soldiers are holding weapons But what he was guarding against was his own base!Needless to say, at this time, the cutest engineering drones on weekdays are regarded as possible enemy troops by the soldiers who are facing a big enemy and turn off their power.An atmosphere of terror hangs over the guard troops. This kind of fear is indescribable. Even if Li Li preaches to the soldiers himself, it will have no effect.

When everything you are familiar with becomes strange in an instant, when a being you have never seen shows its power, when what you depend on for a living falls under the control of a foreign body, for the first time, human beings truly see What is the uncanny valley.

Needless to mention Li Li, he did not take the initiative to do this. Citizens of the People's Federation have always regarded him as a patron saint of personification, but people who have seen such AI for the first time instinctively reject it.

"The act of granting additional permissions to Hydra has caused tension in the military. They have a huge mistrust of AI. They would prefer you to do this instead of a machine."

Olivia looked at the report in surprise, but Li Wei shook his head: "It's me and they can feel at ease? Why don't you think about why I don't do this all the time, do I still have to study artificial intelligence?"

"Because you're lazy and have a good face, and you don't want to work." Irena said viciously, almost amused Olivia—but the others were not. They looked at Li Li nervously, as if this Words concern their future.

As a result, it is true——

Li Wei fell into deep thought. All the high-level guards were present. Some things must be paved early to lay a good foundation for the future.

"I don't want People's Federation to become a gestalt network that is completely centered on me."

"The People's Federation should be a dynamic civilization composed of the main body of natural people. I will do some top-level design, but I will not use calculations to replace normal social development. You can use me as a patron saint, but I will never do what some people want. If you want a babysitter, go research and develop it yourself!"

This explains why the People's Federation has to study artificial intelligence. It cannot be copied—"And the development of science and technology will inevitably study artificial intelligence, otherwise it will limit the upper limit of a civilization! Now that AI has appeared, it can How about being the babysitter you want, but you want and are afraid of?"

Afraid that AI cannot be controlled, afraid of losing control, do you never touch AI?Looking at the efficiency demonstrated by Hydera today, is it possible for humans to reach one-tenth of its level?If you want to be a promising interstellar civilization, you must have AI, otherwise the upper limit of civilization will be bound forever.

"Afraid? Then you have to adapt to it, and then find a way of symbiosis with AI, so that human beings can rise from a primate evolved under gravity to a new height! Do it, otherwise you will not be able to keep up with the pace of progress Sooner or later, you will perish, and I can't help you if you don't think about making progress!"

Let me be cruel, but I have to be considerate, I have never seen the danger of AI, even if Hydera is not really a strong artificial intelligence, the damn watchman...

"I am your patron saint. My existence is to give you time to adapt. Without me, the worst situation will never come."

Li Ting's tone softened, and he waved his hands to signal Kanifik and others to relax. He still made a joke: "Think about it in a better direction, everyone, you have more or less implanted brain chips. What if the future Coexisting with AI, wouldn't each of you be as powerful as Hydera?"

"Uh... then I'm afraid we'll have to wait until we can make the AI ​​core small enough to fit in the brain."

Colonel Longling said cold jokes, although it was very boring, but the atmosphere finally got better.Olivia sighed, and she looked at Li Li with watery eyes: "We are all worried that we will be worthless in the future."

"I never used you as a tool, don't use the word value to measure yourself."

Li Wei replied, in the eyes of each other, Olivia silently sent a message to Li Wei: "This is the first step of sublimation? Then I will be the first!"

Irena also sent a message: "Yes, it seems that you have indeed kept your promise, and I read you correctly."

It's too difficult for me to be caught between the two of you. Fortunately, I always have a reason to be witty... Li Wei smiled on the surface, watching the people who recovered their fighting spirit begin to change their minds, and discussed with great interest in what fields AI can achieve results. And the scene of how to reform this is both gratifying and helpless.

Want to popularize AI to individuals?It is estimated that it is still far away, but what we can be sure of is that Hydera’s absolute replacement of traditional manpower in a certain field is a foregone conclusion. Now we have Hydera in the land, interferon in the sky, and silver-white rings in people, and they have entered the universe on a large scale. The road is already very wide!

But in the end, not everyone forgot what we were doing—"beta is coming!"

Several black torrents on the satellite images have roughly converged together, forming a semicircular encirclement of Hydera's mechanical troops.The critical moment has arrived. No matter how efficient the AI ​​is, there must be only one result in the face of overwhelming numbers. Until now, the staff believe that their judgments are correct.

but--

"This test is not a test of artificial intelligence alone. In fact, at the beginning we just wanted to study a new tactic for beta, but after analysis, we found that only AI can complete this play."

Li Wei said that, as his words proved, a group of new units appeared on the satellite image and rushed to the theater, rushing towards the torrent of beta at an extremely fast speed.

That is, the laser drone that Li Zhi and the others saw under the nest before!

PS: Insomnia caused by irregular work and rest is simply tormenting, alas.

Recently, I watched the incident of the God of Understanding. It was so big that I couldn't eat it in one bite.

At first, the more I watched, the angrier I became, but I immediately realized that she arranged you to be a licking dog, how could I be a part of it as she wished?I don't play anymore, so scolding is over.Never fall for it!

Players need to take action, don't let these bastards feed people shit and still make money, you need to know that capital has no bottom line, boycott, not letting them make a penny is the right way, otherwise they will get worse scruples.

Mei Mo Er is a negative example, let's see how good their sales are!Next time, continue to feed more shit. Anyway, the players are cheap, so why not do it?

Chapter 210 10 frames for one

The silver-gray iron feet moved forward alternately, and the infrared spectrum camera on the torso swayed from side to side to observe the surrounding movement.The observation field of view of a scythe mecha is limited, but when there are hundreds or thousands of spider robots, the field of view of each of them will be superimposed. For the controller behind the scenes, this is the overall situation without any movement Can get rid of AI insights.

With the help of high-precision satellites, such a comprehensive observation brings about accurate numbering of enemies entering the range of fire at the data level, and the numbered mechs have already obtained the shooting parameters of their own targets. , there is no need for self-calibration at all, and you can fire directly and generously-too ​​abstract, so let me give a direct example, if the drone controlled by the guards projects its own firepower to form a metal wall to block the advance of beta , followed by killing, then the AI ​​army will focus on killing wholeheartedly!

The 70MM electromagnetic gun requires four seconds of capacitor release for each full-power shot. Such a long time is not acceptable to human beings, but the mecha group that spreads out a large plane is only retreating in an orderly manner, and every few tens of meters is With an extremely neat volley, the sonic booms of the electromagnetic guns gathered together into a roar that shook the world. The "strings" pulled up by the hot air of the high-speed projectiles and the beta wheat charging on the horizon were clearly visible on the satellite image. The scene of falling down.

This is not to stop the beta from advancing, but to erase the spearhead of its charge like an eraser.The crowded formation of these monsters is just right for the steel cone to skewer until it flies out of the horizon.A single round of shooting from a large plane can wipe out an average of five times as many enemies. Considering that the size and interval of the chariot class is equivalent to a small species that clears 4 square kilometers every 320 seconds, the subsequent beta has just been added. It's another wave of clearance, not because of anything else, just because it's all in Hydera's calculations!

"The mere sickle mecha is just cannon fodder, but it has the effect of the main force! This is our failure. The staff must review their overestimation of the potential of the equipment and redesign the combat system."

But betas are not always passively beaten - even though the small species gathered in the wilderness are frustrated, but as the rumble of smoke and dust rises on the horizon, it means that the assault class that started from the lair has finally arrived on the battlefield!The incredibly hard heads of these shield beasts would put a small caliber railgun to despair, and a shot from a scythe mech at an exposed foot wouldn't kill it.When the assault class rushed to the front and back of the chariot class, the one-sided situation suddenly reversed, and the beta's forward speed was approaching at a speed of 140KM per hour——

"boom!"

Lightning flashes, sound like thunder! The metal rod with a caliber of 150mm shattered the carapace of the giant beast at a speed of Mach [-]. At the moment of impact, the contact between the two burst out sparkling sparks. In the flames, a large group of blood burst out from the tail of the giant beast. A fist-sized deformed rod was drilled out of the fiber bundle.

Behind the sickle mecha, there is a human mechanical monster parked steadily.It doesn't have the majestic physique of the Assault-class, and even though it is twice the size of a contemporary main battle tank, it is by no means small.Before MARV, the strongest land combat unit of the People's Federation, with two parallel 150mm caliber heavy-duty railguns as proud as mammoth tusks, even with new materials, the king of war weighed [-] tons!

Mammoth tanks have never understood what is meant by "immovable defense". (Twilight class:?)

The three generations of contemporary mammoths no longer use slow metal tracks. The deformed wheels imitating the tracks are as tall as a person. Driven by surging electricity, the super-heavy tanks also run at a speed of 80 per hour. These hundreds of mammoth tanks have been waiting for the assault class for a long time. , A total of 18 heavy railguns sprayed white light. The heavy armor of the assault level, which is proud of the earth, is just a layer of paper shell.

And the old rules, the mammoths only fire one cannon at a time, and after a round of firing, they reload and store energy while turning the turret slightly, and it's another round of thunder strikes.The firepower continued continuously, and the vanguard that beta could rely on disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye. When the scythe mech and the mammoth converged, the battle entered a double rhythm. body.

With such efficiency, the quantity has been completely defeated by the quality. The only thing we worry about now is the limited ammunition and battery packs of the sickle mechs.

"What would happen if it wasn't an experiment, or rather, turned from an experiment into a full-fledged military operation?"

This temptation is too great, with Li Wei's guarantee, the guards still have ten times more resources to mobilize, maybe...

"Taking up Jansko right now doesn't fit into the strategic plan, but we can increase the target—from an experiment to a drastic reduction of the Hive's forces."

Li Wei said so, and: "It's not enough, I haven't reached the goal in my heart yet."

"No matter how good the AI ​​is, it can't be easily exposed. Our goal is that the local garrison in Kamchatka is capable of defeating the beta. The battle of Evansk proved that there is no guard, and Irena has no chance of winning, and even so we use A lot of nuclear bombs and logistically crazy supplies, the cost of combat is very high."

Especially the artillery shells, 90.00% of them are wasted in the competition with the light level, just like the Hydera troops are also exploding hundreds of thousands of shells in the air, which is very uncomfortable, damn the light level!

If there is no light level, the shells we wasted would have killed more than [-] betas!Don't mention the efficiency of AI, as long as I kill the light level, I can win with the locals!
