On the other hand, Meng Qian also went to see the military contracting project that the Stone family was responsible for -- like the division of labor between the two cities, the military industry chose the Future City, and the tourism and entertainment were concentrated in the Free City. Stand out, and develop in both places.

The Stone family's military projects, Meng Qian also has investment, he is most optimistic about the construction of the navy and the future of individual equipment, the equipment system of the sea and land, focusing on intelligent war machines, shipbuilding industry, facing the key trend of unmanned military in the future.

Local companies have also received investment and cooperation from foreign companies, such as the US military-industrial complex, conglomerates and fraternities, and shareholders have been able to influence many decisions, coupled with the pro-Western banner, and the transplanted external technology is constantly flowing.

Which camp is it pro, and is it an alliance? This is a form of politics that can be transformed. As the saying goes, "there are no eternal friends only for eternal interests", and at this stage Malagasy can get a lot of benefits from the West, and they are naturally happy to do so.

The development of laser weapons is based on this basis, coupled with the strong intelligence of simulation and the advanced technology mastered by the future city, which is a prominent weapon when combined -- the laser they have developed has the characteristics of the speed of light and the concentration of energy, and it can be used to strike wherever it is directed.

At this stage, laser weapons cannot be used as an offensive means like in science fiction movies, but they are stronger than missiles in intercepting missiles and destroying drones. Can a missile speed be compared to the speed of light? In terms of accuracy, the guidance system is also far inferior to the laser that hits and hits.

Laser weapons can be equipped with army and navy, and with electromagnetic cannon systems, they can strengthen land and sea-based defense networks. It can achieve an ultra-high interception rate against small and medium-sized missiles; It can even be equipped on satellites to combat ballistic missiles and disable enemy satellites from space.

Offensive and defensive. The spear and shield of the land have begun.

Followed by the results of another project, Meng Qian experienced it firsthand - mechanical exoskeleton.

Research on the militarization of exoskeletons began a long time ago. It allows a soldier to exert 300% of his strength, which is a step forward for individual combat in the future.

In the past, the biggest problem with exoskeletons was energy. The battery you carry can't support it for a long time, and it's like chicken ribs.

But now, after the decline of Wells Fargo Power and the rise of INE, their new supercapacitor batteries have brought a greater capacity breakthrough.

Civilian-grade, which can exceed twice the capacity of Fuguo Power's high-end products. In the secret military class, it can be more than five times more - this value is enough for the exoskeleton to work for a long time.

As a major shareholder, Meng Qian obtained the privilege of experience.

With the help of the staff, he put on an exoskeleton, which is mainly composed of mechanical parts that cling to his limbs, and carries a battery pack on his back, providing a maximum of more than 30 hours of operation.

The entire exoskeleton, including the battery, weighs 45 kg and benefits from the use of a large number of new composite materials. Let it get a good load reduction.

"First of all, you need to get used to the balance." The staff said to him.

"Balance." Meng Qian took the first step, the metal sole wrapped around the boot, and he had to control the strength and speed when he stepped out, because the sensors controlled the exoskeleton.

If you push too hard, take a step. It's likely to be too big and easy to pull at the egg. Of course, Meng Qian didn't encounter this trouble, and his first step fell very smoothly.

"Enable artificial intelligence. It is capable of auxiliary use as well as combat. The staff said, "Intelligence can take brainwaves and voice control." Mr. Meng. ”

The latter sentence is a respect for Meng Qian, everyone knows the interaction methods of brainwaves and intelligence. It was brought by his VR company, and he is more familiar with it than anyone else.

"Smart Enabled." Meng Qian used brainwaves to transmit commands, and a second later the exoskeleton's built-in AI was enabled, and the combat data was displayed on AR (augmented reality) glasses.

"It feels like you're playing Titan." Meng Qian experienced that when the second generation of VR was launched, a game called "Titan" swept the world.

The current actual experience proves that there are many overlaps and highlights between the brains and designs of game companies and the application in the real military field.

But there are also some of them who are not well considered, the current exoskeleton is not omnipotent, and it has not made the soldier a small powerhouse that cannot be killed, it can only enhance speed and strength.

After Meng Qian adapted to walking, he began to change other postures, such as squatting, turning, brisk walking, running, etc., and gradually got used to it.

Once familiarized, Meng Qian began to challenge some traditional limits: 100-meter run, weight-bearing running, weight-bearing shooting, urban street fighting, and CQB training.

In the 100-meter run, he broke out with all his strength and cooperated with the exoskeleton, running a time of 9 seconds, and he could break the world record with a little harder.

Because this result was implemented under the balance of the exoskeleton that he was worried about not being able to control well, according to the official test, he ran a lot faster.

Of course, military equipment is not used for racing, in the actual combat simulation, wearing an exoskeleton, he can easily carry 150 kg of equipment and move freely on the battlefield.

In the shooting event, AR glasses make soldiers feel like playing a shooting game, and the crosshairs of firearms and bullet trajectories are calculated, so everyone is a sharpshooter from then on.

And the exoskeleton is also equipped with millimeter-wave radar, which can scan the creatures behind walls and obstacles of a certain thickness. Plug-in.

AR glasses also provide advanced technologies such as night vision and thermal sensation, which can be enabled and deactivated with only voice control or brainwave control.

The exoskeleton also provides a datalink system, which means that the whole team shares information about the battlefield that they see each other, and as long as one person sees it, the whole team can see it.

Advanced, if a soldier wants to bomb a visible target, he can share the data with the gunship, launch missiles, carry out TV + intelligent composite guidance, and finally accurately hit the target, so that a single soldier can become an all-rounder.

Fully armed with science and technology, Meng Qian knows that individual soldiers in the future can already be called "supermen".

The staff also brought data: "A mechanized special forces force with a size of 10 people will play a role far greater than that of a special force five times the size of the traditional one; And in terms of efficiency and casualty rate, it will be smaller than the traditional model. ”

"This is the future." Meng Qian summed it up in one sentence, this is indeed the future of individual soldiers - specialization, all-round sea, sky and land.

"The exoskeleton is also designed with an upgraded version." "We can add lightweight bulletproof armor to key areas to better protect soldiers." ”

"It's like Iron Man." Meng Qian knew.

"Of course, it can't fly yet." Said the staff.

"I know." Meng Qian smiled, being able to fly is basically a black technology, which can only be achieved in the Year of the Monkey - and it is of little significance.

Because the future of exoskeletons is temporary, the farther future will be: unmanned and intelligent.

No matter how strong and brave the exoskeleton soldiers are, they will be harvested after all in the face of an unmanned army that has no emotion, is not afraid of death, and is not tired.

This unmanned future is not far away, and the robotic police system currently in use in sister cities has replaced 50% of human police work.

Flexible robots have an advantage over humans, they are not afraid of fatigue and death, they have the data of the entire city - from surveillance cameras to crime data systems, and their own scanning equipment can quickly find targets from tens of millions of people.

As police officers, they also have the privilege of scanning and displaying subcutaneous microchips - the data and information of any citizen in the city cannot escape their scrutiny, as long as there are hidden illegal immigrants or people who have escaped crime and are wanted.

The intelligent police system of the city provides a very high efficiency for the management of the special zone, and also allows more police officers to only need to concentrate behind the computer screen and go. Control the robot and give commands to the robot, while humans only need to make the final judgment and control everything remotely.

It will be used for the military, derived from various humanoid and animal-shaped armed machines, and then connected by indecipherable quantum communication and controlled by artificial intelligence.

In future wars, human beings only need to hide behind a safe fortress, remotely control the army of machines, and even artificial intelligence will replace everything, and human beings only need to take stock of victory.

……

It's just that this highly mechanized, artificial intelligence future -- which is almost the present for the SAR -- has given Meng Qian a sense of apprehension.

He has seen movies and brain novels, and it is not once or twice that robots have counterattacked humans and destroyed the world, but he knows that mechanical automation must be the future.

Anyone who resists future progress will be annihilated by the future.

Neither can humans - the contradiction between humans and intelligence will have the possibility of exploding - as intelligence gets smarter and humans get lazier.

Not in a few decades, but in a few hundred years?

The future is unstoppable, and human beings can resist for a hundred years, but not for a thousand years...... Meng Qian thought in the general direction of evolution.

Only by evolving can humans continue to control everything.

Isabella, an AI who is keen on studying humans, is not wrong at all - humans are desires. A combination of hope and contradiction. If you have it, you are afraid of losing it, and if you don't have it, you want to possess it; Be a. The son wants to set up a memorial arch, and he has a wife who wants to love. People, being a good person, but wanting to do something bad......

Putting aside the anthropological perspective for the time being, Meng Qian found a solution.

Natural human VS mechanical + strong intelligence, although Meng Qian, who is also a human being, is unwilling to admit that he is backward, but the two are actually superior.

If you can keep humanity alone. At the same time, the brain and mind will be partially moving towards mechanical evolution, and after the fusion of the two, the new human will have the characteristics of machinery and intelligence, and will be compatible with the main characteristic of natural human beings, the threat of intelligence, which will be self-defeating.

The speed of strong intelligence, the inexhaustible creativity of the human brain, the long life, and the ultra-low energy consumption...... Meng Qian could think of a lot of advantages.

He decided to secretly carry out this "evolution" project and grasp the future.
