Everyone wants the zero-control crowd to be a little slower, so that everyone has enough time to think about countermeasures and enough time to evacuate.

However, in the face of artificial intelligence, time is never enough.

Just like Ren Xiaosu went to the Central Plains to save Luo Lan, he calculated the time accurately to ensure that he couldn't get there in time.

And zero calculates all this, in fact, it only takes a moment.

Previously, Zero's computing was based on server sets, but now it relies on tens of millions of human brains.

How much computing power does the human brain have?

In the manor halfway up the Ginkgo Mountain, Luo Lan, who had returned to Qing's family, sat next to Qing Zhen and muttered: "If you want me to say, will artificial intelligence not be as powerful as we imagined, you see that I usually can't even multiply two-digit numbers, if it controls people like me, wouldn't it be a trap on itself? After all, even if it controls many people, if 99% of people's brains are not so good, it will be in vain." ”

Qing Zhen smiled and shook his head: "Sounds like it makes sense." ”

However, the reality is that the potential of the human brain is underestimated at this moment, and human beings are unable to do a lot of mathematical operations, and it is completely human beings who are unable to use their brains well, not the brain itself.

There are about 14 billion neuronal cell bodies in the brain, and the average normal person can record 86 million pieces of information per day, which is a very incredible thing in itself.

The smells that humans smell, the light and shadows they see, and the objects they touch are composed of countless information elements, and the human brain needs to summarize and organize all of them into a "logic".

The information that this world has given human beings is far more complex than two-digit multiplication.

When humans use servers and computers, they often encounter memory overloads, insufficient processing accuracy, and even system crashes in minutes.

But human beings rarely collapse because of this kind of thing, encountering extreme fear and fright, the human brain will directly issue syncope instructions to alleviate, but after syncope, human body functions still remain relatively normal, maintaining the needs of life.

Humans can also have mental illness, but the probability of irreversible mental illness in humans is much less than the probability of a machine's system crashing and blue screen.

Therefore, when the human brain, which has great potential, becomes the base of the server, the computing power of artificial intelligence is not full of loopholes, but more powerful.

However, Qing Jin, who had studied nanorobots earlier, was thinking, if according to Luo Lan, the controlled humans have become zero server carriers, then how should these servers be connected to each other?

Although Zero controls the communication rights of the entire Central Plains and controls all the known satellites in the Barrier Alliance, the satellites are not as reliable as imagined, and the satellites themselves cannot carry the information interaction of tens of millions of servers.

Luo Lan frowned and asked, "Could it be that in the midst of those crowds, there are mobile servers responsible for connecting all the nanobots together?"

Qing Zhen shook his head and said, "I don't know, and I can't know." A conservative estimate is that the number of people controlled by artificial intelligence this time is about 18 million, and you should be very clear about this concept, we don't have enough strength to find this needle in a haystack. If we really want to do this, we may bet on the current strength of the entire southwest and northwest, and we can only face defeat. Or maybe it's waiting for us to do so. So, let's go ahead and follow our own plans. ”

Luo Lan suddenly asked, "What are the chances of winning?"

Qing Zhen thought for a while: "Sancheng." ”

"Qing Yi asked you before, you said that there is only one percent," Luo Lan wondered: "How do I feel that the situation is worse now, and your chances of winning are improving?"

Qing Zhen glanced at Luo Lan, he sat on the black lake in the hall of Ginkgo Manor and said, "The third child can't die in vain, I must let his efforts have corresponding value and meaning." ”

As he spoke, Qing Zhen received the chess pieces on the chessboard in front of him into the wooden barrel.

At this point, it would not be helpful to talk about the chess game, and the only chess he wanted to play was the hand that was left to die.

Luo Lan asked on the side: "Can Qingyi handle it on the front line, or Xu Pu and I will rush over?"

Qing Zhen shook his head: "No, you two come with me." ”

......

In front of Barrier 111 is the three-mountain defense line built by the Qing clan, and each mountain range is a defensive support point, watching and helping each other, completely blocking the road for the westward movement of the crowds.

Further ahead of the Sanshan defensive line, there are more than a dozen outposts.

It was called the far side of the moon by the Qing troops.

Some say that the Earth-Moon rotation system evolved over a long period of time and eventually approached a kind of equilibrium.

In fact, no one can really explain why the moon will always only be facing the Earth, and humans will never be able to see what the back side of it looks like without using technology.

The time it takes for the Moon to complete one revolution around the Earth is 27.32166, and during these 27.32166 days, it goes from the first quarter to the full moon and from the full moon to the first quarter.

However, the reason why the Qing clan called the outposts the far side of the moon was only because they were abandoned places, and the people who were abandoned knew that they were abandoned.

They had only two things left for the rest of their lives: to report to the rear when the enemy arrived at the forward base, and then to pick up their weapons.

In a clearing in the southwestern forest, seven or eight wooden houses were simply erected, and in these wooden houses lived one hundred and twenty soldiers, which was the establishment of a company of the Qing clan.

The wooden houses are crisscrossed with narrow passages between them.

There were simple sandbag fortifications on the perimeter of the hut, and four soldiers were on guard, and they had to stick to these posts even if it was windy and rainy.

The door of one of the largest wooden houses was inscribed with a small line: Welcome to the far side of the moon.

It's a joke that has no other choice, and it's the best sense of humor that humans have in the face of suffering.

At this time, the rest of the soldiers of the outpost who were not on duty were sleeping in their wooden huts or reading newspapers and magazines, leaving only the company commander and the communicator standing by the radio communication station.

A few other groups of people gathered together to play poker, betting on cigarettes.

Everyone seemed calm, but in fact the soldier's fingers holding the cigarette trembled slightly.

Few people are able to remain absolutely calm when faced with perceived danger.

Even these elites of the Qing clan are no exception, they start to be constipated, they start to get angry, and the emotional burden acts on the body, and then manifests itself.

Being willing to face danger does not mean not being afraid of danger.

Suddenly, someone accidentally knocked over the water glass, and there was a brief silence in the wooden house, and then everyone burst into laughter: "Are you so scared that you are about to pee your pants, and you can't even hold the water glass?"

At this time, the company commander stood up and said to everyone: "I'm sorry everyone, it's my bad luck, let everyone come with me to die." ”

Which company came to the outpost was not directly ordered, but decided by lot.

The brigade commander made it clear before they drew lots that these outposts could not wait for reinforcements, could not wait for rescue, and the only way was to die.

As a result, the 313 Company of the 3rd Infantry Brigade drew one of them.

From the moment he drew this mortal lottery, the company commander rarely spoke, because he decided the fate of the soldiers of the whole company.

No soldier blamed him for anything, but it was the attitude of not blaming that made him feel even more guilty.

At this time, a sergeant smiled and said: "Someone has to come, it's either us or someone else, and we may not be able to survive to win the war on the Sanshan defense line, right?"

The other person muttered: "Okay, you don't have to speak for the company commander, his old boy has always been stinky, when he fries Jinhua, he can meet three A's with three K's, and when he takes three A's, he can also meet 235, you dare to let him draw lots for this kind of person! I said that the deputy company commander will be drawn, but you don't listen." ”

"Hahaha, it's true that the company commander's hand is black, we should have asked the deputy company commander to draw lots at that time. ”

"That's it, company commander, if you really feel guilty, then you can dance a hula for us. ”

The company commander laughed and scolded: "Jump your mother's legs!"

After such a gag, the atmosphere is a little more relaxed.

At this time, it is absolutely false to say that they are not afraid, and all they can do is to make themselves look braver.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Outside the wooden house, the warning of three shots sounded, and then the soldiers in charge of the rotation suddenly roared: "Enemy attack!"

The company commander's face changed, he turned around and picked up the phone on the radio communication station, and said briefly: "The enemy is coming." ”

With that, he hung up the phone and picked up his firearm.

The soldiers looked at the company commander silently, and the company commander took a deep breath and said, "We don't think we will have a chance to drink together after the war, if we really want to go underground, everyone will toast with Meng Po soup." Remember, don't disgrace the 313 Company, we are soldiers. ”

......

Night.

Piercing sirens sounded throughout the Three Hills defensive line, behind the solid defensive bunkers, as the army entered the trenches, like a river entering a dry channel.

The criss-crossing trenches were filled by the Qing troops in just thirty minutes.

The significance of the outpost to gain time lies in these short thirty minutes.

Beyond the line of defense, there is an endless forest of night, like a deep sky that cannot be seen.

In the night vision device, the whole world turned dark green, the soldiers clutched their guns, and some people sweated in their palms, so they grabbed a handful of dirt on the edge of the trench with their palms and sucked the sweat out of their hands.

If the enemy does not have the ability to reconnoiter from the air, then the artillery unit will not be able to determine the target of the bombardment, because no one can determine which trench is the main force of the Qing clan outside the trenches.

Qing Yi stood at the door of the commander-in-chief's tent, birds flew by in the sky from time to time, and the soldiers on the position tried to track them with huge searchlights, but the speed at which the searchlights twisted the angle could not be compared with the speed of birds flying in the sky.

Everyone can only judge that the birds flying in the sky are staring at the ground, and among them are not only sparrows, but also even more terrifying apex predators in the air.

Goshawks, sparrowhawks, red-bellied hawks, whatever they are, are far more aggressive than sparrows.

Qing Yi sighed in his heart, they didn't even know how the artificial intelligence controlled these birds.

Gunshots finally rang out at the front of the Sanshan defense line, and the firelight was like thunder behind dark clouds in the night sky, looming in the night sky.

However, the imaginary sea of people like the Kuroshio did not appear, and the artificial intelligence did not drive the humans under its control to directly flood the Sanshan defense line.

An operational staff officer reported to Qing Yi: "The 017 position was attacked, and the enemy actually had a number of snipers hiding out of sight, and the shooting was extremely accurate. However, so far, there have only been small sneak attacks, and the other side has not launched a full-scale attack. ”

Qing Yi frowned: "Snipers?

"I'm afraid there are dozens," the combat staff officer replied, "Moreover, the other side has tried to conduct long-range mortar fire and accurately hit one of our mountain-tilting machine gun positions...... Sir, the opposing mortars are even outside the observation range of our heights. ”

The observation range of the highland is five kilometers, and the ultimate firing range of the Wang's 60.75 caliber mortar is 5.5 kilometers, and this mortar outside the observation range means that the opponent can easily hit all the targets it wants to hit at the extreme distance.

Because the crowds are trekking through the forests of the Southwest, mortars appear to be the most cost-effective long-range heavy firepower they can carry.

After all, a mortar plus sights and gun carriages is only 22.5 kilograms, and a shell is 2.18 kilograms, which is enough for manpower to carry.

"However, after a short exchange of fire, they did not increase their firepower. ”

Tonight's attack is more like a temptation, or an experiment.

Qing Yi suddenly felt that there seemed to be a wise commander standing opposite him, playing against him.

However, the chips in the opponent's hand are the "soldiers" whose individual combat ability is better than that of the Qing clan, as well as the ability to see from the air.

"What does it want to do?" Qingyi pondered as he looked at the night sky.

Obviously, millions of people only need dozens of hours of effort to overwhelm these three mountain defense lines with an absolute number, but the other side has to use exquisite means.

There was no recklessness, no reckless attack, and the opponent seemed to be going to take the Sanshan defense line at the lowest cost.
