Chapter 5: Training

Do humanoids need training?

No...... Rather than discussing this kind of soft garbage, it is better to ask more bluntly.

Does the machine need to be trained?

Although it is called life, although human rights are obtained. But unlike humans, who are conceived in October and born from their mother's womb, the birth of a humanoid form is much simpler than that of a human.

It can be mass-produced, and knowledge can be pre-entered.

Although humans also have IVF and genetic manipulation, the birth of a human being is indeed much more complicated than a humanoid that was just a 'source code' before birth.

Unlike humans, who take a long time to learn and grow, the human form acquires 'sentience' within the first second of birth.

After an irreversible mutation in the source code, these electronic beings have been adults since birth.

Be able to manipulate data proficiently and perform calculations perfectly. There are also PKPs that can make dark dishes according to the menu, but for most people. They all retain one of the most basic characteristics of the 'mechanical unit'.

They are extremely controllable.

As long as there are no glitches, their movements will always be precise. Whether it's copying from a sample or finishing a metal workpiece with a milling cutter.

Humanoids can do it.

They are computers and lathes, and of course, they are not furnaces, vices, or pumps.

Then ask again.

Does the machine need to be trained?

Apparently not needed.

The working principle of the machine is reproduction – work without thinking according to a defined process and logic. There is no need to gamble or train, as long as you can do it, you will definitely be able to do it, and if you can't do it, you will definitely not be able to do it.

- Things like PKP not being able to cook well are really the exception of the exception, and Ren Griffin's software engineers can't figure out what is going on.

In a word.

Machines really don't need to be trained.

And the humanoids are a kind of machine.

And now, they're training.

In terms of common sense, this is an incredible thing to do - although with a gun in hand, fight like a human. But the humanoid form is not so much a 'warrior' as a 'gun tower'.

Speaking of which, we have to say a little about the essence of the battle.

In ancient times, in the era when cold weapons dominated warfare, even with bows and javelins, the 'most powerful' way of fighting for humans was still close combat.

In those days, the way humans fought was to 'get stronger'.

Wear thicker armor and take sharper weapons. If you are stronger than your opponent, you will be able to overturn your opponent in wrestling, and if you are more agile than your opponent, you will be able to dodge your opponent's attacks and wait for an opportunity to take a bite.

At that time, weapons were subordinate to humans, and they were used as tools to allow humans to 'exert more power'. So martial arts were born, so genres appeared. People discover skills by thinking and learn skills through hard work. Because of the existence of skill, human beings can become stronger, so that the weapons in their hands can exert 120% power.

And in modern times, everything is different.

The invention of firearms has created a whole new era in which the way humans fight is no longer the pursuit of 'getting stronger'.

Although physical fitness is still important, the accumulation of experience is still valuable.

But firearms are overly convenient weapons – whether old or children, women or strong men. The power of a firearm is 'fixed'.

Pull the trigger, shoot a bullet, and whoever you can do it can unleash an equally powerful attack.

With guns in hand, the distinction between strength and weakness is no longer 'who can get stronger', but 'who can make fewer mistakes'.

As long as you aim accurately, you will definitely be able to hit your opponent, and as long as you aim accurately, you can inflict damage. Distance is a condition, charge is a condition, wind speed is a condition, and humidity is a condition. Even the shape of the warhead, the length of the barrel, and the breathing of the shooter are conditions.

The power of a firearm does not increase through experience and practice, and the reason why we still have to work hard is only to reduce mistakes and make better use of the power of the firearm.

It has nothing to do with the presence or absence of body armor, nor with the precision with which the firearm is processed. Despite the poor range, poor accuracy, and poor materials of the early smoothbore guns, a new era dawned when a single cast lead bullet could take the life of a samurai.

Gone are the days when the samurai decided the outcome of wars, and from then on, it will be the productive forces that will decide success or failure.

And the birth of the human form is the pinnacle of this era.

Automatic weapons, unmanned weapons, intelligent weapons, humanoids - you can call them whatever you want, you can define them however you want.

Because in any case, when the first military humanoid opened its eyes in the laboratory and began to serve humanity - it existed for one and only one purpose.

'In place of humanity'

Reduce human deaths, reduce human mistakes.

Humans will refuse to take risks because of the fear of death, but humanoids will not. Humans hesitate because of their hesitation to hurt, but humans don't.

They can push the performance of firearms to the limit, they can calculate the trajectory of ballistics thousands of times in a second, and all because they are mechanical.

At this stage, the battlefield has nothing to do with most of humanity.

However, here comes the problem.

Since there is no need for training, what is the Parallelist squad training?

The ancients called 'the perfection of perfection' the painting of the snake to add to it.

So, what is the purpose of the painting snake of the Southeast Branch?

The answer is surprisingly simple.

- Drill tactics.

"IWS, your support is 0.2 seconds slower. ”

"Understood. ”

"If it's a humanoid battle, I'll lose a wingman here. Can you confirm the cause of the problem?"

"The reflection from the blinds had an effect on my optics, and it took a little time to adjust the incidence. ”

"Is there a way to avoid it next time?"

"Precautions have been added to the memo, there is no problem, it can be circumvented. ”

"Yes - and PKP, you didn't have synchronous ray information with me just now, why? Because I can't get your information, my computing pressure has increased by 500 percent. ”

Through training, we can simulate the 'computational pressure' that may be encountered in various situations, so that our own efficiency can be more liberated.

In this sense, what the human form is doing is no different from that of a human. But judging from the way and the difficulty of doing it, these are indeed two completely different realms.

If human training is how to use firearms better, how to cooperate with each other.

Then what the humanoids are doing is much more exaggerated - what they are practicing is how to fight as a unit.

It's not TeamWork, as humans say, but it's based on the sharing of information between humanoids, and they fight as if they were a person.

Anyone who has played SC2 has heard that sentence, right?

The sacred F2 connects us.

That's all there is to it.

“……”

"It's not once or twice, PKP, your efficiency affects the whole. ”

This is, of course, an exaggeration.

Not to mention humans, even elite-level Griffin humanoids are difficult to do this kind of training - the ones who really apply this technology to actual combat are basically military humanoids.

Although they are humanoid, those war machines don't necessarily have the appearance of humans - they are mostly multi-legged, or simply heavy units with tracked chassis, and as a 'compensation' for the abandonment of the human form, they are armed beyond common sense.

What is the civilian humanoid equipped?

Light weapons, at best, heavy machine guns and anti-materiel sniper rifles.

And what are the military humanoids equipped with?

25 automatic cannons, multiple rocket launchers, and even cannon howitzers.

Coupled with the cooperative combat mode that requires no training and is pre-installed from the beginning, the power of the military humanoid is far beyond your imagination.

On the premise of limiting the width of the battlefield, one fights ten, ten fights two hundred, and more...... You may not even see each other.

Kluet...... In other words, PPK pursues this kind of realm. Because the foundation is only a civilian entertainment humanoid, it is impossible to install a military module on the PPK, which can only be developed by itself through 'hard work'.

Finding the second level of perfection on the basis of perfection, that's what they do – pushing the limits.

They're not fighting with hits. At the end of the day, it's all mechanical, and it's just stupid to expect mistakes from your opponent. At this point, what are they challenged...... It's the reaction time of the hardware.

Even in a fully automatic machine gun turret, it takes time to lock, it takes time to turn, and it takes a while from the firing pin to the moment the bullet is discharged.

As long as you can fire before you get hit, it's a good counterattack, and if you can hit the enemy before you fire, it's a perfect assault.

Just by sounding crazy. But if you can do it, it really works.

In the final analysis, this is not a novel theory, but a theory that appeared more than 100 years ago and has been widely used in military affairs.

"I understand. ”

"Really?"

"Of course. ”

Then there's not much to say, Ppk nodded.

"One more time. ”

The vast training room was littered with printing wreckage – wall structures made of pulp and plastic particles rapidly molded and covered in paintballs.

Under the control of PPK, these randomly generated structures were fed into the floor by the liftable structure, and after the decomposition and recovery were completed underground, a new round of printing began.

Depending on the size, the print typically takes between fifteen and thirty minutes, and during this time, the humanoid girls make tactical preparations.

After all, printing takes time, but drawings can be generated in an instant. Although the Southeast Division is not staffed with a dedicated adjutant, as long as there is a PPK, there is no need for those redundant women.

Read the overall intelligence, deploy a defensive lineup, and then cut and delete the information in the memory. Through this method, PPK was able to make levels independently and lead the sisters to tackle tough exercises.

It's so convenient.

"Next Quest ......"

But just as PPK was about to analyze the intelligence, a sudden strong earthquake knocked the girls to the ground.

In the dull roar, the southeast base was trembling violently.

Is it an earthquake?

Are you kidding.

"Enemy Attack ——!!"

In the next instant, the shrill sound of sirens filled everyone's ears.
