Chapter 700 scrambles to ask questions
After the venue was cleared, the lecture continued, and Jing Jian gradually talked about the core content: "...... Some people may ask, what is the core technology of a computer? Taking the two superpowers of the United States and the Soviet Union as an example, the working principle of electronic devices in the world is basically the transmission of analog signals, but in the future, with the development of computer technology, especially the development of chip technology, digital signals will be replaced. To use Moore's Law, when the price remains the same, the number of components that can fit on an integrated circuit doubles about every 18 to 24 months, and the performance doubles. In other words, the performance of a computer that can be bought for every dollar will more than double every 18-24 months. ”
Moore's Law was developed by Gordon Moore, one of the founders of Intel. Pay attention to Intel, which will become one of the leading companies in this third industrial revolution in the future. It's an interesting law, but what does it mean? The computer you bought 18 to 24 months ago can already be thrown in the trash. Let's take an analogy of image points, for example, our troops used broadswords and spears at the beginning, and after 18 months, they switched to smoothbore guns, and after 18 months, they used rifled guns, and after another 18 months, good guys, semi-automatic rifles were used, and then 18 months later, fully automatic rifles, artillery, airplanes, tanks, etc., were all armed with ....... You can imagine that those soldiers with big swords and spears, if they came to see the world's planes and cannons all over the world in 10 years, would they be able to understand the world? Would they feel like primitive people?......
As the content deepened, someone had already handed a note to the stage. Jing Jian put the note aside and said with a smile: "After I finish my report, I will set aside time for everyone to ask questions and answer every question as much as I can." ”
"As we just introduced, the first is the application of satellites, and satellites will be the key ...... of the entire national defense system in the future."
"Now let's talk about the combination of the powerful processing power of computers and existing weapons, this scope is relatively wide, and I will briefly introduce it here......
"Auxiliary army management is also quite important. The overall war itself tests the comprehensive national strength, and our PLA not only guarantees national defense and security, but also has the task of disaster relief, so it ......."
“......”
This will be almost common knowledge in the future, but it is basically unheard of now. At the end of this basic introduction, Jing Jian continued: "Since computers have been widely used now, the US military has put forward the concept of building a digital force. In order to give you an intuitive impression, I will play another animation ......"
“...... It can be seen from this picture that the development of computer IT technology will lead to the blurring of the front and the rear, the blurring between the arms, and the war will become an inseparable system. Here, I have a new term – live war. ”
“...... So how do the digitized troops fight? Combined with the picture, I will analyze it for you. ”
“...... Here, I would like to introduce the achievements of the US military, although some are still in their infancy, but at least they are already in active service. Again, I'll introduce it in combination with the picture. ”
“......”
In the end, Jing Jian said: "Today I will not hesitate to show my ugliness, and talked about some personal humble opinions, there may be some small faults in some places, and some places still need to be studied and corrected by weapons experts, strategic experts, training management experts, etc. However, there is one thing I would like to appeal again, we must pay attention to the development of computer IT, which is a revolutionary invention and one of the symbols of the third industrial wave. In the end, I said a small tidbit, so many Hollywood film masters do not believe in the film revolution brought about by new technology, and they can't even find a director to shoot my award-winning film, so I rush to the shelves and serve as the director myself, what will happen in the end? Win the Oscar! And the same is true in the military, the new revolution will make everyone stunned, and our PLA must be at the forefront of this new wave!"
The audience burst into warm applause, but before the applause stopped, the bottom scrambled to pass the note upward. Jing Jian smiled and picked up the first one: "Director Jing, thank you for the new thinking you brought." That is, I have a question: Why did the Soviet Union not conduct research on this aspect? Because in the past, the United States and the Soviet Union would compete in various military fields, and it was nothing more than a question of who was ahead and who was lagging behind, but this aspect was the weakness of the Soviet Union, so could there be any story in it?"
Due to historical reasons and technological backwardness, the PLA has been comprehensively learning from the Soviet Union in its armament. This is actually a very rational approach, you hairy bear leads the way to the mine, and my panda just runs with me. It's a few steps behind, but at least it's not a waste of time and money. There is really no way to learn from the United States, the gap in science and technology is too big for the concubine to do?
Jing Jian smiled: "This comrade is very careful, isn't it? During the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union were preparing for a nuclear war, so in electronic equipment, the Soviet Union chose electron tubes that could survive a nuclear war, rather than semiconductor integrated circuits. Do you remember Moore's Law, which I just introduced? At that time, the effect of electron tubes and semiconductors was not much different, and even electron tubes were mature and faster, and they were stupid and stupid mainframe computers anyway. Unexpectedly, after 18 to 24 months, semiconductors will be updated once, becoming more and more mature, and the speed of computing will become faster and faster, and in the end, the distance between the two countries will become farther and farther. In other words, the USSR clicked on the wrong tech tree in scientific research. The quantitative change brought about by the upgrading of semiconductors has changed to qualitative change, and in the end, people even ignore the problem of survival under the nuclear war. However, this has no impact on our country, it is poor and white, no matter which country is advanced, we can learn from it!"
"Dr. Jing, after listening to your introduction, the future mode of war will become completely different. What particularly surprised me was that you said that there is a lot of equipment that is already in active service with the US military. Sorry, this is not questioning, but cautious, can you give us some more specific examples?"
Jing Jian smiled slightly: "At present, it is difficult to come up with empirical evidence, and we can only learn about it from American public publications or other channels." After all, I'm not the president of the United States, so I can arrange a Sino-American military exercise. But I'm going to be a god here again (the audience laughs), not to dance the gods, but to make a prophecy, and in the U.S. military, there are many skeptics of new technologies, and of course there are many advocates like me. Therefore, in the next war in which the US military will personally end up, it is very likely that they will experiment with the effects of this military revolution. As for when? sorry, I don't know!
