Chapter 32: Countdown (Part II)
At the end of the half-hour break, the meeting resumed.
Sure enough, Stark first mentions the Doomsday Force project. To Luo Jinyong's surprise, Stark did not make a fuss about the authority of the Doomsday Force, acknowledging the agreement reached before the establishment of the project, and also emphasized the key part, that is, all the gains of the Doomsday Force in the operation are shared by the Planetary Defense Council, and the ten member states have equal rights to share all information related to extraterrestrial civilizations.
Stark took a stand, and the other nine chiefs of the general staff agreed.
Previously, everyone was worried that Stark would make a fuss about the authority of the Doomsday Force. If this is the case, Yang Fanglie and Sergeyev do not need to say much, I am afraid that even the chief of the General Staff of the Western bloc will not agree. If there is a falling out on this matter, the impact will certainly outweigh the differences between the five nuclear powers on "Operation Courage". Since Stark didn't stir things up, there was no reason for the other chiefs of staff to make trouble.
In any case, the ten member states have equal opportunities in the Doomsday Force.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I must stress that there are only twenty-eight days left. During these twenty-eight days, the actions we take will determine the fate of humanity. It's not just about life and death, it's about the future of humanity. Stark paused slightly, the atmosphere was already stirred, and there was no need to continue to build momentum. Even if we win, it doesn't mean we can rest easy. Extraterrestrial civilizations are definitely stronger than humans, and with more advanced technology, they will make a comeback. The results we reap in the battle against the invasion will determine the future of humanity, whether we can win the next invasion, and whether we can finally defeat the powerful extraterrestrial civilization. As you all know, the key is the Doomsday Army. Maybe we only have one chance, and this one chance will determine the future. ”
Everyone else is silent, because that's really a very important issue.
"Time is very limited and we can't do meaningless things anymore." Stark took a sip of water and continued, "I have consulted General Howard, and after five assessments, the abilities of the members of the Doomsday Force have been fully demonstrated, and one assessment can be canceled. ”
"Is that the right thing to do?" Takeuchi hurriedly asked.
The French Chief of the General Staff, Renaud, had the same doubts. It's just that the two are not concerned about the impact of reducing one assessment on the ability of the special forces, but the fact that the overall results of the Japanese and French special forces rank low, and one less assessment means that the chances of improving the ranking are greatly reduced.
"It's the Extreme Endurance project that has been canceled, and that happens to be the strength of the Doomsday Warrior system."
Stark said so, and Takeuchi and Renault didn't say much. Besides, the gap is there, and it is almost impossible to turn around in a project.
"If you don't have any other opinions, tomorrow morning will be the final assessment item, and the Doomsday Warrior system will be concocted in the afternoon."
In accordance with the procedure, ten chiefs of the General Staff voted on it.
Next, other projects and plans were discussed, most of which were adjusted, and a few were scrapped because they no longer had practical value.
It's just that Luo Jinyong didn't care much about the topics discussed later.
After twelve o'clock, when Stark announced the end of the meeting, Luo Jinyong returned to the laboratory and began to prepare for the concoction of the Doomsday Warrior system.
Of course, what he really wanted to do was to complete the improvement of Chu Tianjiang's system.
Ten sets of Doomsday Warrior systems have been specially modulated for ten special forces, mainly to make up for the ability shortcomings of special forces as much as possible.
Because Luo Jinyong was only responsible for the central control system and could not do anything on other subsystems, he put all his energy into the control system. To put it simply, it is to increase the security limits solidified in the control system, so that users can pass through the control system when necessary, so that other subsystems can be overloaded for a short period of time, and exert stronger performance than other doom warriors.
Admittedly, there are security risks associated with doing so, and at the very least, it will increase the failure rate of the Doom Warrior's system.
However, when all subsystems are designed, there is more than 50% safety redundancy, and as long as the overload working time is strictly controlled, the failure rate can be controlled within a reasonable range. In addition, most of the subsystems have the ability to detect and repair faults, and the Doom Warrior system itself has security redundancy, and the failure of some subsystems will only cause the corresponding functions to be unusable.
In order to make Chu Tianjiang the strongest doomsday warrior, Luo Jinyong felt the need to take some risks.
If it weren't for the fact that a large number of key technologies were mastered by the United States, China would not have the production capacity of the whole system, otherwise Luo Jinyong would have suggested secretly producing the Doomsday Warrior system.
Will the Yankees secretly produce the Doomsday Warrior system?
Although there is no central control system, the United States has participated in the development and production of all other subsystems, and has also undertaken the development and production of three subsystems, all of which are key functional subsystems. As long as the difficulties in the control system are solved, the United States will be able to produce the Doomsday Warrior system alone. Even without the development of an advanced control system, the United States would have been able to produce a second-class Doomsday Warrior system.
At about four o'clock in the morning, Zhang Xiaogang rushed over.
"Didn't go back to sleep?"
"Isn't that a vain question?" Luo Jinyong glanced at Zhang Xiaogang, who had always been a hanger, and said, "It seems that you haven't slept all night." ”
"I just finished drinking with a few commissioners, and I heard that you came to me for dinner."
"It's all right."
"Is it really okay?"
Luo Jinyong nodded, and said, "I started to think of a question. Do you think the Yankees will privately produce the Doomsday Warrior system? ”
"Definitely, and it has already done."
"What!?" Luo Jinyong looked at Zhang Xiaogang in surprise, because Zhang Xiaogang had never mentioned this matter to him before.
"We received information more than a year ago, shortly after the Doomsday Force project was on track."
"What information?"
"When the U.S. procures equipment and raw materials for the production of the Doomsday Warrior system, the order volume is much higher than the actual demand, and the scrap rate of the subsystems produced in the U.S. is far less than we know." Zhang Xiaogang sighed and said, "Perhaps, the United States has produced hundreds of sets privately. ”
"!"
"I didn't tell you, I think it's not serious."
"Isn't that serious? We only have Chu Tianjiang, even if I double the security limit of his system, he can't be a hundred, no, he should be the opponent of a hundred and one doomsday warriors. The U.S. Army of Doom can easily wipe out the Doomsday Army. ”
"To be honest, it's not that serious."
"You ......"
"The key is in your hands."
Luo Jinyong was stunned for a moment and understood. "You're saying that the United States has not developed a central control system?"
Zhang Xiaogang nodded and said, "Don't say that you have this set of things, you haven't even developed a control system that can make all subsystems play their basic functions." Over the past year or so, the Yankees have conducted hundreds of experiments to develop a control system, all of which have failed, and hundreds of people have died. ”
"This ......"
"Of course, I'm not sure that the Yankees haven't developed a usable control system, but even if it succeeds, it can't compare to what you're doing."
"Is there any more definite information?"
"No, but I can figure it out."
"What's the solution?"
Zhang Xiaogang smiled and said, "I haven't thought about it yet, but there are still more than twenty days." The Doomsday Force will be formed tomorrow, and we can't let ten Doomsday Warriors eat here and wait for death. If the knife is not sharpened, it will rust, and training cannot replace actual combat. If there is a suitable opportunity, they will definitely be allowed to practice their skills, so as not to lose their skills. Besides, through actual combat, they can master the Doomsday Warrior system as quickly as possible. ”
"Indeed, what are you going to do?"
"It's not me who plans to do it, it's what the Yankees plan to do. Don't forget, even the second-class Doomsday Warrior system is the most advanced individual combat system today, more advanced than the individual combat system of any previous country, so the Yankees face the same problem. ”
"You're saying that the Yankees will send the secretly formed Doomsday Legion on a mission?"
Zhang Xiaogang nodded and said, "What we have to do is to wait patiently, and then come a yellow finch behind." Even if this huge potential threat cannot be eliminated, it will still make the Yankees suffer a little. Through actual combat contact, it is at least possible to figure out the results of the Yankees' private efforts. ”
"This has to be arranged as soon as possible." Before Judgment Day arrives, we'll be making the final modulation of the Doomsday Warrior system. Only after figuring out the situation did I know how to set it up. ”
"Okay, I'll figure it out."
"In addition, you have to tell Lao Chu not to be a bird."
"Really?"
"Doomsday Force is open and there are no secrets to speak of. The Yankees are scheming and ambitious, and they certainly don't care about the life or death of a special soldier. ”
Zhang Xiaogang smiled and didn't say anything.
"What, you've thought of it?"
"Professor, if you thought of this problem before I did, would I still have the face to continue eating this bowl of rice?" Zhang Xiaogang shook his head with a smile and said, "Lao Chu is a straight intestine, and he is determined to take the first place." If you ask me to tell him directly, it will be tantamount to adding fuel to the fire and will inevitably backfire. I'll hint at him, but he'll not listen, I can't guarantee it. Still, there's nothing to worry about. The Yankees have made a crooked decision, and the first thing to watch out for is the Doomsday Force, and they will definitely take command of the Doomsday Force. Howard commanded remotely in the rear and had very limited influence on front-line combat operations. As expected, Aldrich would become the captain of the Doomsday Force. ”
"Are you sure?"
"Professor, trust me."
Luo Jinyong never doubted Zhang Xiaogang, but with such a serious matter, he didn't dare to take it lightly.
Seeing Luo Jinyong's half-believing look, Zhang Xiaogang said: "In the first five assessments, Aldrich ranked in the top three, and his ability was extremely balanced, while Chu Tianjiang won four firsts, but one was at the bottom. If the results of the six assessments are drawn into a six-coordinate plan, Aldrich's ability coverage exceeds that of Chu Tianjiang, which will help him become the captain. ”
"This ......"
"Don't forget, Howard didn't announce the criteria for selecting the captain of the Doomsday Force. Even if Lao Chu won the first place in the total score, he would definitely not be the captain. ”
As soon as Zhang Xiaogang said this, Luo Jinyong nodded and didn't say anything more.
"It's not early, let's go back and rest."
"I still have some things to deal with, you go first."
"Okay, I'll go find Lao Chu, it's time for him to get up." Zhang Xiaogang yawned and said, "Don't die, it's still unclear whether you're dead or alive." ”
Luo Jinyong smiled, he had always believed that human civilization would not perish due to celestial impact.
Without this belief, as early as two years ago, Luo Jinyong gave up.
