"The Army's combat effectiveness soars? Across the 2012 exercise to achieve amazing battle damage! ”

"What signal did a rare high-profile appearance release?"

In the office, Chen Nian looked at the slightly exaggerated headline of the news report and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

"It's been floating enough lately-—— or is it what you asked for?"

Chen Guo on the other side replied lazily:

"Almost, that's what we asked for."

"Everything has been done, and it must be explained, otherwise if people don't understand, isn't it done in vain?"

"When dealing with jackals, you can't be too subtle, if you are subtle, people will think you admit it."

"It's better to put the words on the table and talk about it, but it is more convincing."

Hearing his words, Chen Nian nodded thoughtfully.

In fact, he always thinks that at some moments in the past, it is indeed too low-key, and even vaguely suspicious of "compromise".

After all, the world is developed in confrontation and deterrence, and as a full-fledged leader, the concept of the state must not be personified.

Complex systems carry the ultimate rationality, and the basis for supporting rationality is cold interests.

You can't expect your overtures and low profile to win the other party's blue eyes, because a weak position will invite further plunder.

In that case, why not talk about it a little bigger?

People don't really listen to you anyway, they just see what you're really doing.

To put it a little bigger, at least you can get some benefits on the internal environment.

Thinking of this, he sighed softly.

The so-called self-confidence shift does take time

"So the next target is Africa? I thought we'd start with Southeast Asia. ”

"That part of Africa. After the birth of nuclear fusion technology, the value can be said to have dropped dramatically. ”

"What are we going to fight for there? Do you still have to dig for oil and coal? ”

"It's not."

Chen Guo shook his head and replied:

"This step may be a little different than you think. The purpose of going to Africa is not for natural resources, nor for any benefit of a physical nature, but to establish ideological superiority. ”

"Compared to Southeast Asia, the social form there is more. Backward, more suitable for some, you know, of the transformation. ”

"And on the premise that the technology generation gap widens to the limit, the acceptance of us there will also increase significantly."

"How so? A model village? ”

"Demonstration Continent."

Chen Nian instantly understood what Chen Guo meant.

He really didn't expect that his superiors' plans for the future had reached such a height.

This is not a five-year plan, a ten-year plan, but to some extent, a centennial plan.

And the purpose of this plan also points to a grand goal that is almost at the end of the line.

"That's an exaggeration. Which countries are you going to start with? ”

"Excluding several economically developed countries, including Morocco and Tunisia, and excluding the black and green countries with more conservative religious forms, there are only a few left."

"Most likely, it's Ethiopia."

"After all, we have the deepest roots there and have established a certain military influence, so it is more appropriate as a starting point."

"I see, no wonder the Navy's recent overseas visit plans have been so fanfare."

Chen Nian couldn't help but look forward to it.

Whose Africa will eventually become Africa?

Maybe not ours, but it should be, and definitely won't be someone else's.

However, the difficulty of this work is probably far from being as simple as Chen Guo said lightly.

If we want to build a "demonstration area", it is impossible to rely only on the infusion of science and technology and the improvement of productivity, and more importantly, how to achieve a soft turn in ideology.

If you rush too much, or if you go in the wrong direction, you risk a tragedy similar to that of 1960.

——

No, it should be said that in that part of Africa, the situation could be much more serious.

They are the forces that can do the slaughter of the village without any external influence.

If you really get to that point, it will not be "you can't wear glasses", but it may evolve into "you can't breathe air from a certain direction".

His thoughts were a little distant, and Chen Nian quickly shook his head and took it back.

He put these absurd ideas aside for the time being, and instead chatted with Chen Guo about electric engines.

At present, our technical integration in electric engines has come to an end, and unlike the information I have learned before, Shen Fei has actually been working on electric aircraft projects for a long time."

"It was only in the first half of this year that they tested a small sports two-seater version of the electric aircraft with a range of more than 100 kilometers – not bad."

"However, the engines and energy storage modules of this aircraft are based on the technology before the emergence of metallic hydrogen, and the overall design is not advanced."

"Especially in terms of electric motor design, it may not even reach the maturity level of the current new energy vehicle field."

"In contrast, Airbus' E-FAN program is more suitable for this project."

"The project was launched around 2010 and covers all technologies including engines, transmissions, complete systems, etc., and it is said that the first private experimental flight has been completed this year."

"If we can get their technology, it will be a big help for us."

"Of course, it would be better if you could just poach people"

Hearing Chen Nian's words, Chen Guo said with a smile:

"So you're saying, let's go figure it out?"

"yes, or not?"

Chen Nian nodded and replied as a matter of course.

In fact, if you really want to do this thing yourself, it won't take much to analyze it by relying on the system, but the problem is that the complexity of the whole technology is still too high, and the technical output alone may take up a month or two of his time.

Now he is no longer the teenager who drew the F-22 with his bare hands, he has more and more urgent work to deal with, so he has to start thinking about the "cost performance of technology".

Besides, if you can do it for nothing, why do it yourself?

E-FAN is not an amazing achievement that transcends its time, but there is no doubt that it is extremely inspiring.

In the last life, after the appearance of this aircraft, various countries have launched corresponding electric aircraft projects, the most representative of which is the Yak-40LL developed by the Russian Advanced Research Foundation.

This thing is different from all previous small aircraft, it optimizes the E-FAN's electrically driven ducted fan design, so that the overall thrust of the engine is greatly improved, and the performance at the Moscow Air Show is quite impressive.

And more importantly, the electric drive engine of this Yak-40LL uses low-temperature superconducting technology.

——

So theoretically speaking, if Russia can take advantage of the E-FAN project to make the Yak-40LL, can't we do it?

Chen Nian is still very confident in these domestic researchers.

Looking at Chen Nian's expression, Chen Guo sighed helplessly.

"Okay, let's study this piece-—— it's not too much of a core technology, and it shouldn't be too difficult."

"However, during this time, we are poaching people everywhere, and the pace is a little too fast."

"The superiors also have concerns about this, and it may not be resolved too quickly, so you have to plan it yourself."

"It's okay."

Chen Nian stretched and replied:

"If it's not good on the Airbus side, go to Maozi to poach people -—— the Chapregin Research Institute and serve them in a pot."

"You're really not refused."

Chen Guo said a little teasingly.

"What's the solution? The level of scientific and technological development has risen, but talent education has not kept up. ”

"In the past few years, our technical talent gap is too big, and it can even be said that there is a shortage of green and yellow."

"What if there is no one? I can only grab it. ”

"Grab it first, and then bring our own people by the way."

"When we close the talent gap, we can kick them out."

Chen Guo's expression became a little serious, in fact, although Chen Nian's tone was relaxed, the question he said in his mouth was not easy at all.

Talent gap

Most of the time, a country has a major talent gap, and the only reason is that the industry is growing faster than the education is developing.

And the root cause of this is often the so-called "technological aggression".

In fact, several technological aggressions by industrial countries against agricultural countries in history have led to similar consequences.

It's just that for the current Huaxia, the "invader" has become Chen Nian

This is an unavoidable labor pain, and it is also a problem that must be addressed.

And, with the development of nuclear fusion and related industries, this problem has become more and more urgent.

"Do you have any good solutions to the talent gap?"

Chen Guo looked at Chen Nian expectantly—of course, he wasn't expecting Chen Nian to come up with a solution once and for all, but wanted to hear some hopeful answers from him.

However, the first sentence of Chen Nian's answer was completely different from what he expected.

"There's nothing too good to do in the short term – if you want me to say, to solve the talent gap, you have to solve the education equity first."

"Let's take a look at where there are still schools in the country that are not connected to the Internet, solve the problems of the Internet and multimedia, and pull together the channels for obtaining information, and then talk about other things."

"Indeed. I'll talk to my superiors about that. ”

Chen Guo's expression was a little heavy, and the imbalance in the allocation of educational resources was indeed a hidden pain in the country at present.

But to solve it, it can't be so fast.

Education is a great plan, and if you want to complete the transformation of education and achieve a talent blowout, let alone ten or twenty years, it may not be enough.

"However, I have another way to solve the problem quickly in the simplest and most brutal way."

"How?"

Chen Guo immediately asked.

"On the AI."

"On GAI."

Qatar.

Wang Jiancheng sat in the office of the station, facing the computer with a relaxed expression and typing on the keyboard, checking the details of the combat report while modifying the code of the Zhanlu system.

For the results of Zhan Lu's debut, he can be said to be extremely satisfied.

The operation efficiency of this set of AI is far beyond his imagination, and even at some nodes, it not only achieves "process command", but also occurs a small range of "adaptive learning", achieving the effect of "result command".

To express it in easy-to-understand language, that is, in some small-scale decisions, Zhan Lu no longer simply formulates strategies based on the success rate of the strategy, but splits a variety of different strategies, decomposes and combines them, forming a mixed probability basis that Wang Jiancheng himself cannot understand for the time being, and finally achieves amazing results.

The emergence of this situation proves that Zhanlu AI has reached a very high level of maturity, and even Wang Jiancheng vaguely feels that it seems to have a tendency to develop towards general-purpose AI.

However, he also knows very well that to achieve such an effect, in the final analysis, it is a few lines of source code in the program that work, and if you want to continue to optimize, it will inevitably cost a lot of money.

But that's at least a good direction, isn't it?

He is ready, and after returning to China this time, he will report to Xinghuo and apply for the Zhanlu project to be upgraded to the GAI project.

It's going to be a long journey, but at the same time, the benefits will be huge.

Will Starfire approve such a project?

It seems that all the previous projects were short and fast.

——

No, it's not the project that's short, it's the people who do it.

If it weren't for Starfire, who would have thought that room temperature superconductivity and nuclear fusion would emerge so soon?

So, GAI is not impossible.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Wang Jiancheng's face.

And at that moment, the intercom on his desk rang.

It was the command who called, asking him to report to the command room immediately, and there was no other information.

Wang Jiancheng stood up suspiciously, he couldn't think of anything else to find himself when all the work had been done.

——

However, this doubt only lasted for a few minutes.

In the command room, he received a call from the country.

On the other end of the phone, it was Chen Guo.

The other party said to him in a notice tone:

"After completion, the matter in Qatar is basically over, and the follow-up finishing work will be handed over to other comrades in the project team to do."

"We have arranged the nearest return flight for you, and tomorrow at about ten o'clock in the morning, you will take off from Qatar and fly back to China."

"You don't have to go back to Chengdu yet."

"You have to go to the imperial capital."

"We arranged a discussion on the development direction of GAI there, with the participation of Peking University, Tsinghua University, Nanjing University, and the Institute of Intelligent Research, organized by the Institute of Automation."

"You need to give them a lecture on the principles of Zhanlu."

"Desensitization is needed."

"The specific arrangements will be notified to you after you arrive in the imperial capital."

After listening to Chen Guo's words, every cell in Wang Jiancheng's body couldn't help but cheer.

He knew all too well what such a massive discussion meant.

The strongest scientific research forces in the field of intelligence in the country are gathered together, and what are you going to do is still asking?

So, he couldn't wait to ask:

"We're going to do GAI??"

Chen Guo on the opposite side paused for a moment and replied:

"Yes."

"We want to do GAI, and we want to do it as soon as possible."
