Chapter 474: Heading to the Northwest

"The Chinese people really did it!"

"The Rainbow-9 Chada UAV has just attacked Bahia Onda, destroying several US military strongholds, this is our chance!"

"This is the major defeat we are waiting for, the prestige of the military and the federal government is declining sharply, and our cause begins!"

Cheyenne, Weiss said to Dewey with an excited face.

"All the paths have been opened, and now, we only need to do one thing."

"That's convincing the state governments to decouple them from the federation."

"We first need to master MalmstrΓΆm Air Force Base, establish a basic air deterrent, and then use that as a bargaining chip to continue negotiations with the federal government."

"In the first phase, we don't need to declare full 'independence,' and we have a good reason, which is 'refusing to get involved in the Cuban war.'"

"Such a reason will be recognized by everyone, and we can even be heroes"

Hearing Wess's words, Dewey nodded slowly.

It does sound magical, and it's actually magical, but it's really happened more than once in history.

In other words, whether it succeeds in the end or not, at least for now, the plan for a new alliance in North America is operational.

The only thing to focus on is the details of how to achieve this goal.

"We need to stand in front of the stage?"

Dewey asked.

"Aren't you already standing in front of the stage? I mean, everybody knows it's you."

"Of course, we don't need you to really take a stand, as long as you exist, you are already the biggest stand."

"This is not in line with the ideology of you Americans."

Dewey shook his head and continued:

"And that's not what we had in mind in the first place, we did want to influence the future of the United States, but we didn't do it that way."

"Either way!"

Wes snapped back, then said:

"There is no ideology, there is no tradition, nothing is set in stone, and people in despair are willing to do anything and vent their grievances in any way."

"They are stupid, short-sighted, reckless, this is the essence of this nation"

"Believe me, after this one time, the whole world will change completely."

"As long as we succeed, you will no longer have to worry about any threat from the 'enemy', and we will establish the most peace-loving government in the world."

"Isn't it worth the risk that we will win humanity a unique time to develop?"

"-β€”β€”No, I see what you mean."

Wes shut up suddenly, thought for a few seconds before continuing:

"You've been authorized, aren't you?"

Looking at his suddenly calm expression, Dewey nodded again.

"That's right."

"We'll start moving after you leave."

"The training is complete, our contracts have expired, and it's time for you to go."

"Maybe. We will meet again in another capacity. ”

Wess had a relieved look on his face, and then he extended his hand to Dewey.

"Happy working together!"

"It's a pleasure to work with."

Dewey shook his hand, and both smiles appeared on their faces at the same time.

On the special plane to a base in the northwest, Chen Nianzheng was discussing the latest news with Chen Guo on the side.

So the effect of this Rainbow-9 cluster bombing is indeed stronger than we expected, and this kind of unmanned combat platform has great advantages over traditional manned fighters in terms of cost and flexibility."

"Especially in the attack on fixed targets, we don't even need to establish communication with the UAV at all, under the dual command of the Yujing 04 + Zhanlu system, it doesn't matter if you fly, you can contact it, and if you can't contact it, you can use the internal preset program to rely on the terrain recognition system to sail and strike."

"After the fight, if the navigation is fine, then follow the instructions to return; If all communication is interrupted in a complex electromagnetic environment, then 100% copy into the trajectory for exit. ”

"It's as simple as it gets, it's even stupid to the extreme, but it's really effective."

"In an air strike, the Cuban side dispatched 16 Rainbow-9s, losing a total of 9 aircraft, but 12 aircraft completed the intended combat objectives."

"It looks like the war damage is quite high, but every aircraft is a mass production product, that is, the output of about 48 hours on the production line, if there is a breakthrough in the core components, especially stealth materials and manufacturing processes in the future, the production time of this thing can even be further compressed."

"In short, this operation really played the combat mode of the future battlefield, reduced the human factor to the limit, and instead put such illusory things as industry and technology in front of the stage."

Hearing Chen Guo's words, Chen Nian nodded approvingly.

In fact, this is not just a trend in the development of war, but a trend in the development of the whole world.

In fact, in this "age of fusion", a tendency towards "paper wars" has begun within all countries, except in North America.

When it comes to the distribution of benefits, traditional political means are becoming less and less common, and "commercial" negotiations are becoming more and more mainstream.

Do you want to build a nuclear power plant on the border?

Okay, take out the plan, including inputs, outputs, and risks, and explain it clearly through data.

You say you can't keep track of everything?

At least you'll have to let me know how sure you can take control of this project, right?

How many factories do you have? What is the capacity of the factory? How many workers do you have? How many hours per worker works per day? What is their skill level?

This is not a manifestation of "everyone is beginning to become civilized and peace-loving", but the optimal way of development that human beings have tried to find by relying on the instinct of profit-seeking under the wave of extreme "pursuit of development".

Thinking of this, Chen Nian said with a smile:

"War is originally a struggle for productive forces, and industry and technology are the concentrated embodiment of productive forces."

"It's still just the beginning of development, and if quantum communication can be truly realized in the future, after all the existing means of electromagnetic interference fail, the war will enter another situation."

"Everyone doesn't have to fight, find an open space to put the equipment produced in the factory every day, see who has more planes, whose aircraft is advanced, even if it is who wins."

Chen Guo laughed, he knew that Chen Nian was just an exaggeration.

However, the logic is correct.

Highly intelligent AI+ quantum communication, which cannot be interfered with, may really eliminate war for a while

The two chatted along this topic, about the situation in Cuba, about the actions of the new North American alliance in the United States, about the development of GAI, about the quantum computing project, and finally about the purpose of their flight to the northwest.

Wang Jiancheng's kid finally found a direction to specialize, in fact, from the very beginning when he was Yujing AI, I felt that he should go down this road."

"Although he yelled about doing this and that every day, and worked on exoskeletons for a period of time, he never departed from the main line of artificial intelligence."

"It's kind of a . Back to your roots? ”

"I'm going to see him this time, it's time to settle down for him, what do you think, do you want to press his head?"

The so-called pressing of the head, of course, refers to forcibly throwing Wang Jiancheng into the research institute for further study, and receiving his thoughts and energy in one place.

Is this against his personal will?

It doesn't seem to count.

However, Chen Nian didn't plan to make a decision so early.

"Let's talk about it when I see him, it's too difficult for a person like him to lock him up."

"And he's still young, he won't die so soon, give him more time"

"Won't die so soon? It seems to be the same."

Chen Guo shook his head amusedly, and the two of them didn't say anything more, and each of them lay down on the seat to rest.

After nearly 7 hours of flight, the special plane finally landed at the airport located in the depths of the desert, and as soon as he stepped off the plane, Chen Nian was almost blown by the wind and sand blowing in his face, and the guards on the side hurriedly blocked him in front of him and sent him to the special car that had been prepared long ago.

Chen Guo wiped his face again, spit out the wind and sand in his mouth, and then complained:

"We don't need to choose this kind of ghost place to do quantum computing experiments, what age is it now."

"In the past, the atomic bomb was carried out here, and that was in safety considerations, but now. I don't understand. ”

Chen Nian shook his head and explained:

"Quantum computing is a very special technology, Professor Chen, you may not know much about this area."

"Theoretically, any small disturbance could affect the outcome of an experiment."

"This interference could come from a high-energy particle flying hundreds of light-years away, or it could be a weak magnetic field from industrial activity, or even a generalized 'observation' that we don't know at all and don't know where it came from, in short, it's a bit metaphysical."

"So, in order to eliminate this interference, the laboratory should be set up in an underground environment that is as far away from people as possible, and where the interference can be eliminated as much as possible."

"When the site was selected before, I actually considered the northwest and Kunlun Mountains, but the geological environment here is more stable and more convenient for large-depth underground fortification construction, so I chose here."

Hearing Chen Nian's explanation, Chen Guo nodded suddenly.

"I really didn't look at this too carefully, and when I made a decision, I left it to the professional evaluation team to do."

"Then you can't do it all."

Chen Nian said understandingly.

At the same time, the special car kept moving forward, and after more than 20 minutes of travel, a man-made complex appeared in front of the two men.

As Wang Jiancheng said, this is an oasis -β€”β€” an artificial oasis.

The scope is not large, but from Chen Nian's point of view, it is enough as a living area.

Wang Jiancheng had already waited at the door of the research institute, and as soon as the car door opened, he couldn't wait to greet him.

"Senior! Long time no see! ”

Wang Jiancheng's appearance startled Chen Nian-β€”β€” originally he seemed to have learned how to take care of himself, but now he hasn't seen him for a few months, and he has changed back to a little "sloppy" appearance.

"It's time to shave your beard."

Chen Nian opened his mouth and said.

"Oh, I don't care about walking quickly, the wind will pick up again later."

Wang Jiancheng pulled Chen Nian to the research institute, Chen Nian glanced back curiously, and asked:

"Don't you have an entire windbreak or something?"

"It's not alive, this is really the most desolate place, the surface water is close to nothing, this oasis is completely formed by the convergence of glacial meltwater."

"And before we came, this oasis was almost dying, and it was only brought under control by the mass condenser."

β€œοΌŸοΌŸ Condenser? Research all fusion reactors? Why didn't I know? ”

The use of artificial condensers to maintain the evaporation rate of surface water is a "luxury" solution that is beyond Chen Nian's understanding.

"There are no fusion reactors, but there are superconducting transmission lines, which are connected to molten salt solar power stations in the west, which can basically meet the demand, and it is estimated that it is unlikely to go to fusion power again."

"Understood."

Chen Nian nodded slightly, but a somewhat different idea sprouted in his heart.

Perhaps, what seems impossible now, will become the norm in the future?

Is it really that hard to turn a desert into an oasis?

He didn't think too much about it, but followed Wang Jiancheng and walked all the way into the institute.

After sitting down in an air-conditioned office, Wang Jiancheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He took out three bottles of drinks from the refrigerator and handed them to Chen Guo and Chen Nian respectively.

"Sea buckthorn juice, delicious, taste it."

Chen Nian had drunk this thing in his previous life, and in his opinion, it wasn't really that good, so he just tasted it casually, and then straightened the topic to the point.

"I'm here to see the progress of the quantum computing project, mainly on the equipment-β€”β€” by the way."

"Take a break in a while, I'm going to the lab, I said before that I asked you to help arrange the schedule, how about it, is it arranged?"

"It's all arranged."

Wang Jiancheng replied immediately.

"The chief engineer was supposed to come to pick you up today, but you said you didn't need to entertain, so you didn't come."

"They just finished testing the new model last week, and the results weren't too good, but there was progress."

"At present, in general, in terms of dedicated computing, our equipment has matured, but general computing has been slow to progress."

"I'll bring you the report, it's in the drawer, you can read it later."

"I can't understand it, I'm just a stinky software"

"You don't want to learn?"

Chen Nian asked teasingly.

"What do I learn, and I can't climb high with a little edge. I'm still self-aware of that. ”

"You look at it first, tell me what arrangements are there after reading it, and I'll deal with it."

Chen Nian took out the documents from the drawer, and after briefly browsing them, his eyes lit up.

The general-purpose quantum computing project is progressing even better than he expected.

Because, they have already begun to enter the stage of attacking.

On the second page of the document, the title stated a notable problem.

Current noise and heterogeneity suppression problems in quantum registers.

This thing is still difficult to solve even after embedding superconducting circuits, but it just so happens that he knows that this technology, or this kind of device, does not need to consume too many source points in the system he holds
