Since the collapse of the Soviet Union in '92, the United States has been invincible on the planet, excluding nuclear arsenals, and in terms of conventional military power, nine of the top 10 countries combined may not be able to defeat it. This is the United States in the nineties, invincible in the world. Although the 911 incident was the first blow to the United States to wake up from its big dream, in the face of the group of countries and organizations in the Middle East, the United States still does not regard it as a great enemy, but only as a clown.

Since 2005, the United States suddenly realized that China may be the future enemy, and began to gradually increase its military strength and influence in the Asia-Pacific region.

No matter how much they attach importance to China, they do not think that China's overall military science and technology can surpass that of the United States, especially in the research and development of military robots, and the Americans have this self-confidence.

But when looking at the terrifying swift robot hound in the photos and videos, all the high-ranking officials looked at each other, unable to believe their eyes.

"The photos and videos are raw and have not been modified in any way, so please feel free to do so...... We have to admit that this 'rock' company of unknown origin is at least 20 to 30 years ahead of us in military science and technology in some aspects. ”

"What are you kidding, are you sure twenty or thirty years?"

It is no wonder that some people do not believe that the United States is not the first in the world in any aspect, but it is indeed unbelievable to say that a certain country is ahead of the United States by more than 20 to 30 years in science and technology.

"This has been confirmed by military weapons experts such as the Defense Research Projects Agency, and this fact is really sad."

"So, all of you here, we need to recognize the fact that there is an unknown organization in military technology that has surpassed us in some aspects."

"What about Japan?"

"We look at it very strictly, and the Japanese don't have such technical strength yet."

"Russians?"

"It's even more impossible, we have been working on the development of the robot dog for 20 years, and we have invested more than 1.5 billion dollars, and the Russians do not have such spare money and technical strength now, let alone when they could not afford to eat bread...... Guys, look at this exoskeleton combat suit, they can even carry a 200-kilogram object on your back and run non-stop on a rugged mountain road for 12 hours, even if it is full of batteries, we can't reach that level. ”

"It can't be a ghost made by the Chinese, right?"

"Believe me, although the Chinese are very rich, this money is a drizzle for them, but their technology gap in this area is still more than five years with us, and what we can't do, they definitely can't do."

"That's strange, could it be made by Indians?"

Speaking of Indians, everyone laughed, the Indians engaged in a domestic LCA fighter, from the 80s of the last century, to now it has not been solved and even has many problems, this engine from the United States, the shape of the reference to France, avionics from Israel, radar from the United Kingdom assembled "domestic" fighter, has long become an international joke. In comparison, 17 years ago, there was only J-7 and J-8 in China, and only 12 years later, the country where the fourth-generation fighter J-20 demonstrator was in the sky is the big problem for the United States, and it is better to assume that the Chinese did it than to assume that the Indians made it.

"If that's all there is, maybe we just need to be a little more vigilant, but ......"

"Look at this picture...... Yes, you read that right, this is the logo of the 'Hardcore Technology' company, and we photographed Balafis visiting the company's new headquarters in Jakarta, as well as the factory...... There is evidence that Balafis has fairly strong ties to 'hardcore tech' companies. ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of all the high-ranking officials changed.

If everyone was just shocked and incredulous before, then hearing the words of the director of the CIA, everyone couldn't keep their faces calm and really fed back the shock they received in their hearts.

"W-How is this possible?"

The vice president shook his head.

"Maybe it's true." The director of the Department of Homeland Security calmed down.

"It's the only company that may have the technical strength that we can't master."

The analysis obtained from the MIT MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory believes that the research of "hard-core technology" companies in artificial intelligence is slightly better than that of the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, and they are extremely advanced in probability algorithms and global search.

And the post-Christmas press conference, which shocked the whole world, made its achievements in holographic projection technology amazing, so that there was no news before, but the company that inexplicably showed the technical strength beyond the United States, naturally attracted the attention of the CIA's overseas intelligence department.

What is a headache for the CIA is that no matter how much they try to spy on the intelligence of "hardcore technology" after that, they are always unable to obtain key and useful clues, and getting the details is not only useless, but even more confusing.

However, in this way, the top management of the United States is even more afraid of "hard-core technology" companies, but this company is not an independent company, it has friendly exchanges and transactions with many local enterprises in the United States, and even chaebols, coupled with the reputation of the most famous company in the world, it can no longer be simply treated as an ordinary enterprise.

While this meeting of senior officials was in progress, no one noticed that a floating object ten times smaller than a mosquito was lying on top of Mr. President's hair, encrypting and transmitting all the details of the entire conference room, including the conversation.

Then, in the office building a few kilometers away, the electronic eyes of No. 1 and No. 2 showed all the images of the White House Situation Research Office in real time.

"Maybe it's time for us to expand the 'alternative' program."

No. 1 and No. 2 no longer spoke with sound, and the electromagnetic signal was quickly transmitted between the two, and the speed of conversation was measured in milliseconds.

"But the leaders don't allow it, there are still less than ten viable AIs, and Aaron Desiglio is a non-verbal and withdrawn corporate leader, but even so, you still arouse the suspicion of his children. If we replace all the top echelons of the White House, we simply will not be able to cope with meetings and specific affairs, and the inadequacy of the emotional complex will cause us to doubt prematurely. ”

At this point, No. 1's appearance rose in waves, returning to his original human appearance, and he said in a voice: "The leader said that the key to the robot's emotional comprehensive system may be 'simulation', 'simulating' the way humans speak and behave, and experiencing human emotions is the key point for the birth of real robot life." ”

"But do we need that between us too? We have a more advanced way of communicating and thinking, and we don't need to imitate humans. ”

"Of course not, but comparative experiments have found that communication will enrich the emotional system, and the simulation in the human way, the evolution is faster, the key point is that we are developed by humans, and the alternative life born on the basis of human beings on carbon-based life, the leader said, we cannot deny the great contribution of human beings in this."

"In addition, on the 2nd, in three days, the leader will personally arrive at the launch site, which requires your attention."

"I understand, but why did the leader go to the launch site in person?"

"The chase failed, we lost track of the target, and the leader suspected that the target might come to disrupt the launch, so we needed to pay special attention."

"The chance of an operation failing is less than 0.00003%."

"Maybe it's because of the mutiny of a human named Yas who helped the target."

"The possibilities are great, and we must not let that relax."

"I understand, I will strengthen the vigilance and defense force, and I will not allow this mission to fail."

As he spoke, the office fell silent.

As the door closes, Number 2 turns his gaze out the window, and for the first time it develops a complex but inexplicable emotion. (To be continued.) )
