I think that Jingjing's words aroused the interest of everyone present, and even Catherine, who had been silent, couldn't help but ask: "Why, what do you know?" ”

Her pronunciation is a little stiff, which is caused by the instant translator. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info But her voice is comparable to that of the valley yellow warbler, but Su Yongming has talked to her in reality, how can I say it...... In reality, she is not only a strange muscular woman, but even her voice has a metallic sonorous feeling.

I think Jing Jing saw that he attracted everyone's attention, and he satisfied his vanity a little, so he didn't sell it: "You guys, you haven't thought about why the prize money in this competition is ten times higher than before." ”

Dugu Kenshin said uncertainly: "It should be to attract more people to participate in the competition and expand its influence, right?" ”

I wanted to quietly throw him a roll of the eyes, "Then there is no need to allow active duty soldiers to participate!" ”

"yes, why is that...... Lan Xue Wu made a head-scratching motion.

"Ahem, I'll have great mercy on you! Listen, it's a secret, don't spread it around. It's not a military secret, but don't post it on a forum like that," I wanted to smile mysteriously, "One of the most important tasks of this competition is for the Thunder Corporation to test the artificial intelligence they have developed specifically for piloting mechs. That's why the prize money has been raised so much, attracting some masters who are not interested in the competition to participate, and active military personnel are allowed to participate. Hehe, if you hear it, it will rot in your stomach, don't spread it! ”

"What!" Even Su Yongming couldn't help but let out a shocked expression, "This is impossible, how can artificial intelligence have the strength to compete with human masters!" ”

Although others were also surprised, they didn't react as much as Su Yongming.

Su Yongming immediately thought of it - this should not be the project of the "Jade Crushing Project"!

Human mecha masters have natural limitations, that is, physical constraints. No matter how strong a person is, after wearing the highest-grade anti-load suit, it is difficult to withstand the big G generated by doing actions in high-speed flight, which also leads to many actions that can be made by artificial intelligence, but humans are destined not to do it.

Moreover, some people have the talent to drive a mecha and have the IQ to fight, but they do not have the physical fitness to match it; Some people have outstanding physical fitness, but their talent in mecha is average. A mecha master like Su Yongming, who has both excellent physical conditions and super talent, is simply rare.

This is also an important reason why although the mecha is the strongest individual weapon of mankind, it cannot be fully popularized, and the number of mecha troops has never been expanded.

Another important reason is the lack of some mineral resources in Aeus, and the mineral resources mined from the asteroid belt are far from meeting the needs of expansion.

However, if it is a mecha piloted by artificial intelligence, many parameters can be adjusted, some parts can be replaced with materials, safety does not need to be considered at all, and a batch of cheap mecha can also achieve the effect of controlling the battlefield.

Therefore, according to the commission of the military, many research institutions have tried to develop artificial intelligence specializing in mecha combat to replace human mecha masters.

However, all previous attempts have failed.

Su Yongming remembers that three years ago, Thunder Company also held a limited-time event, and the gimmick of that event was to launch the so-called "strongest AI" to compete with human players.

However, the results of the campaign show that as long as they are not beginners, few human players will fall into the hands of artificial intelligence.

Artificial intelligence is more powerful than humans in many aspects, and in terms of computing speed, screening and processing of information, etc., humans cannot compare to artificial intelligence.

However, in real battles, artificial intelligence will never be able to perceive the battle situation and analyze the situation like humans.

Therefore, in reality, artificial intelligence has always only existed as an assistant to mecha masters, and using artificial intelligence-controlled mecha alone to fight against human-controlled mecha will always be a defeat.

However, if the "Jade Crush Project" decided to create a batch of cheap mechs and use artificial intelligence to control them, this possibility does exist.

Therefore, Thunder Company wants to take the opportunity of this competition to conduct large-scale testing of this artificial intelligence.

It makes sense, Su Yongming thought to himself, it makes perfect sense.

And the cost of doing so, which is definitely much lower, is very suitable for war.

Let's not talk about cultivating a mecha master of your own level - after all, there are not many people with such a talent as yourself.

It is only said that it takes about 1 million yuan to train an ordinary mecha unit, such as the mecha master of the "Tianlong" unit. The main mecha of the Tianlong Army, the Tianlong-J-14-7 type, has a cost of almost 120 million Chinese yuan. Hehe, on Earth, this money is enough to build a small non-nuclear aircraft carrier.

So how many mechs are there in the Draco Force? I heard that it was 90 planes.

In other words, even if the training fee of the mecha master is not counted, the construction cost of the Tianlong Force will need 10.8 billion yuan.

But if it is a low-profile version of the mecha built for artificial intelligence control, Su Yongming was exposed to this information when he was in the military academy, and roughly knew the cost: only 7 million Chinese yuan.

Therefore, the same 10.8 billion yuan of team building costs are enough to build more than 1,500 AI-controlled mecha troops.

So how big is the difference between the actual combat effect? If it is just simple work such as fire suppression, the 1,500 AI-operated mecha troops are of course far more than the 90 mechs operated by human masters.

If the two sides fight a war in a limited battlefield, 1,500 AI mechs can easily wipe out the opponent.

But if it is a real war, in a flexible and changeable battlefield situation, the 90 mechs piloted by the human master can easily destroy 1500 artificial intelligence mechas, and all that is needed is to spend a little more time.

But then again, if in a real war, a human mechmaster dies, only a novice master can be replenished. And the mecha piloted by the artificial intelligence is destroyed, and as long as it can be produced, it will continue to replicate the new artificial intelligence. After calculating the cost, it is estimated that any commander will choose artificial intelligence as the main force of the army.

The humans of Aeus had not encountered a major war before. During the World War, early mechs were simply unable to complete combat missions under the operation of early artificial intelligence. Most of the tasks performed by modern mecha units are small-scale battles and special operations, and in this case, human mecha masters have a huge advantage over artificial intelligence operations. Therefore, all the existing mecha troops of mankind are human mecha masters.

But...... The real war is coming, and cheap and sustainable artificial intelligence will fully replace the human mecha masters, and charge at the front line of the war!
