Chapter 278: People Are More Expensive Than Equipment!
The chariots sped away, the guns roared, and the flames shot up into the sky without stopping.
It's like it's on the real battlefield.
In particular, the pungent smoke of gunpowder wafted in the wind.
aroused the conditioned reflexes of many veterans.
Zhang Xingyang controlled it very well.
Even the most recently swept shells were hundreds of meters away from them.
However, facing this kind of scene still makes everyone feel a little uncomfortable.
It seems that in the next second, a shell will miss.
Fall in front of yourself.
Blow yourself to pieces.
From time to time, you can still feel the air waves set off by the shells and the gusts of wind blowing over.
Numerous 59 changes have exerted unimaginable combat effectiveness.
As the largest tank in domestic production.
Even in the era when the Type 99 had already begun to be equipped one after another.
is still exerting its residual heat on all fronts.
This includes, but is not limited to, being converted into a firefighting tank, a snowplow tank, and more.
A Type 59 with explosive reactive armor hung in front of it, and there was a violent explosion in the front armor.
However, it is still able to move.
An anti-tank missile was launched in an attempt to smash its target to pieces.
In the sky, the strangulation of the fighters was even more tragic.
Most of these fighters are modified from old J-6s.
In this era when the J-10S has been redressed on a large scale, and the J-20 has also been redressed on a small scale.
They will exert their last vestiges.
Dark red tracer bullets, flickering in the sky.
Hit the wing of a J-6 modification, and a large cloud of black smoke instantly came out.
But even if he was hit, the other party was still fearless.
One turned around and fired a flurry of strafing shots.
Hit the opponent's belly directly.
If this was a pilot air battle, the pilots of both fighters would have died by this time.
But they are now all controlled by intelligent chips, as long as the main control, communication modules, and main structures are not destroyed.
That's not a big problem.
There were more than a dozen warplanes in the sky, and the speed of the battle was very fast.
And the battle was very fierce.
In just a few minutes, Wu Jiang saw that five or six fighters were directly blown up in the sky.
Exploded into a cloud of dark red flames!
"Is this how Warframes are really used?"
The information warfare researcher on the side muttered to himself in disbelief as he watched the fierce fighting in the sky and on the ground.
"The changes in the future war may be even greater than we imagined!"
During this period, in fact, the whole army was carrying out informationization reform.
In particular, traditional army units are being reorganized.
I don't know how many of the original ace troops have been split up and formed into a stronger force.
It's just that after seeing Zhang Xingyang become an army alone.
Many people are thinking about the future direction of military reform.
Judging from Zhang Xingyang's combat performance.
It is not an empty phrase that one person can exert a combat power comparable to hundreds of people.
So, should we take the elite route in the future?
The researcher of information-based warfare thought of this.
As a matter of fact, the current trend of military reform is also to follow the line of elite soldiers.
The mechanized infantry of the past, it looked massive.
However, in the midst of information warfare, how much combat effectiveness can be brought into play.
It seems hard to say.
This skirmish didn't last long.
Less than forty minutes.
There was a win or a loss.
Zhang Xingyang calmed his brain a little because of the battle.
It is not a simple matter for one person to operate dozens of units of an unmanned war machine.
In particular, today's smart chips are actually not very smart.
More like a retarded person.
In many cases, you have to do it directly on your own.
And you have to play your own left and right hands.
It's even more difficult.
"How do you feel about watching this show?"
Zhang Xingyang walked in front of everyone and took off his mask.
He took a deep breath of the smoky air.
In his previous life, Zhang Xingyang still liked to play this kind of star catalog war game in the virtual world.
For this smell of gunsmoke, the familiar can not be more familiar.
"It's fun!"
"Happy!"
"Good performance!"
Everyone has given good reviews.
"Dean Zhang, I want to ask you how difficult it is to operate so many weapons at the same time, right?"
Wu Jiang asked his own question from the perspective of a soldier.
He's been observing.
When these armored vehicles and fighters attacked, they advanced and retreated in an orderly manner.
If this is said to be done by smart chips, he will not believe it first.
So it can only be directly controlled by Zhang Xingyang himself.
But can anyone really be dedicated to dozens of uses?
Wu Jiang himself was a little confused.
So after it was over, I asked directly.
"If you want to reach this level, the requirements for brain speed are quite high."
Zhang Xingyang glanced back at the steel machines scattered on the field and were still on fire and said.
"After simple training, ordinary people can probably only operate two or three units."
"After a lot of training, I was able to operate about 20 units at the same time."
Zhang Xingyang smiled after speaking, and looked at Wu Jiang:
"How's that, interested in giving it a try?"
"We have experimenter programs, and you can experience that joy if you join them."
The armor experimenter, to put it bluntly, is actually a guinea pig.
Let them wear their armor and test them on various military items.
Of course, the most important is also the most carried out.
In fact, it is a real combat confrontation like this.
Through the collision of steel, the strength of the armor and the operator is determined.
"Is it possible to get access to such a project?"
Wu Jiang said with some surprise.
"Of course, you can get in touch with it every day, I'm afraid that you will vomit when you practice!"
Zhang Xingyang seemed to think of something, and smiled meaninglessly and said.
Warframe command is not so easy to learn.
The dizziness alone caused many people to fall straight down.
Reality is not a game.
Holographic helmets are able to allow the controller to perceive more data.
But it's not possible to fully open the map like in the game.
To a large extent, it depends on the operator's own perception.
Maybe the perspective of the last second was still above the fighter plane, soaring into the blue sky.
The next second you have to switch to the tank and prepare to open fire.
This kind of conversion is not acceptable to everyone.
This is also an important reason why Zhang Xingyang said that ordinary beginners can only control two or three units.
"Of course I can't miss such a great opportunity."
Wu Jiang said after rubbing his hands.
Zhang Xingyang nodded and didn't say much.
As for the issue of the transfer procedures, neither side said anything.
If it is another project, it is still very difficult to transfer a veteran of this level.
However, if the Heavenly Soldier Armor project team wants people, they can almost be transferred as long as they open their mouths.
"Will it be too expensive to consume so many tanks, armored vehicles and planes in one exercise?"
Some people have also raised doubts about this.
At least a dozen tanks and armored vehicles were blown up at the test site, which was still filled with gunsmoke.
"At the moment, these are all retrofitted with retired old 59s, which don't cost us much."
Zhang Xingyang explained a little:
"As for the renovation fee, it's only a few hundred thousand."
This price is a lot of money on the average person.
But in the field of weapons and equipment, this is really not much.
Taking the Type 99 main battle tank that the army is now refitting as an example, the price of a single unit is about 20 million.
The price of a Type 99 main battle tank is enough to change out thirty or forty unmanned tanks.
Speaking of which, in fact, the cost of fighters is higher.
Some of these J-6s were sent after the Air Force retired from retirement, and some of them were half sold and half sent.
But even so, the price of a single unit is around three million.
"It feels like a bit of a waste."
Wu Jiang looked at the scrap iron all over the ground at the test site and felt a feeling.
"These are all necessary expenses in the process of technological development." Zhang Xingyang said.
"But don't worry, when our smart factory is completed, the cost will drop a lot."
Not to mention the issue of the production of unmanned tanks.
The rapid development of drones in the Air Force alone has put forward very large requirements for their production capacity.
Zhang Xingyang: Last year, they began to cooperate with Chengfei to build a special base.
It is used to produce high-performance non-attacking series UAVs.
As the command model J-20 continues to be equipped, the production speed of UAVs is becoming more and more demanding.
After all, it's a consumable.
And one J-20 requires at least three UAVs, so the production capacity requirements of UAVs are higher.
"If there had been such a large-scale destruction of tanks more than ten years ago, my master would probably be very distressed."
Wu Jiang pointed to the wreckage of the tank in the distance and said.
Wu Jiang was born as an armored soldier and had been dealing with these tanks for nearly twenty years.
His master was almost the first batch of armored soldiers who came into contact with Type 59.
At that time they didn't have anything good, these tanks were their treasures.
Fortunately, the master has long since retired and can't see this scene.
"Now we are much better equipped than before."
Zhang Xingyang remembered Wu Jiang's unit and said:
"Didn't your regiment just change to Type 99 before?
Do you care about these 59s? ”
Wu Jiang shook his head: "Harm! Isn't that poor and afraid! ”
The staff of the proving ground, in the process of their small talk.
Ran out and began to extinguish the fire on the burning tank.
The white foam extinguished the flames burning on the armored car in a short time.
Then the crane lifted these scrap iron-like wreckage directly onto the flat car on the side with a large hook.
After a truck is filled, the pallet truck drives to the scrapyard of the test site.
The hydraulic rod slowly rose, and the scrap iron balls on the flat plate fell to the foot of a metal hill.
The hill is made up of the wreckage of various armored vehicles, tanks, personnel carriers, and warplanes.
The test site has not yet had time to process the scrap iron.
So it's all piled up here.
"We're much richer now than we used to be, and now people are more expensive than equipment."
Zhang Xingyang said after smiling.
The group began to return to the General Assembly Hall under his leadership.
The people sat back in their places.
Zhang Xingyang, with the help of Wu Jiang, withdrew from the battle armor.
Just a high-intensity confrontation.
Even Zhang Xingyang felt slightly tired, especially with a lot of sweat on his head.
Although the filler material is absorbent, it is able to keep the surface skin dry.
But for the sweat glands deep in the hair roots, there is some powerlessness.
This may be the trouble of having a lot of hair!
"The performance of the Warframe shown today is not indicative of the performance of the future."
After Zhang Xingyang came out of the battle armor, he moved his somewhat sore body a little.
Everyone present was actually a little confused.
After all, Zhang Xingyang said at the beginning that the current technology is not yet capable of operating 120 war machines at the same time.
In the blink of an eye, I saw him maneuvering dozens of combat vehicles and more than a dozen fighters at the same time.
"To tell you the truth, today I was able to operate dozens of machines at the same time, mainly because my brain speed was relatively fast."
Zhang Xingyang explained as if boasting.
However, Zhang Xingyang is not an exaggeration, his own brain speed exceeds that of most people in the world.
Coupled with the assistance of protein chips in his brain, it is not surprising that he is able to do this.
In fact, not to mention these dozens of war machines, even if they are doubled, he can still control them.
But others don't have that condition.
Take Wu Jiang as an example, if it is the first time for him to carry out this kind of manipulation.
It is good to be able to quickly complete the forward, backward, turning, attacking and other operations of a single unmanned tank.
Not to mention the formation cooperation, it is a success to be able to hit the target accurately with one shot.
Everyone present, although there are still some doubts about this.
But this is generally acceptable.
After all, Zhang Xingyang's reputation is quite secure, and he will not lie on this kind of issue.
And there's no point in lying about this question.
"If there are no problems, then this seminar will end here, right?"
As the host, Zhang Xingyang spoke.
At this time, many people present remembered that the seminar they had attended was the "Technical Seminar on Personal Protection Systems for Combatants in Special Environments."
I don't know how, it became the Heavenly Soldier Battle Armor Conference!
Although it's a little weird about that.
But everyone still felt that the trip was worth it.
After all, it was exposed to such an advanced future combat system.
In particular, many experts who have studied information-based and intelligent operations have gained a lot of inspiration.
As for the veterans, they are more interested in the Celestial Soldier Armor itself.
After the meeting, they all walked to Zhang Xingyang's side in a roundabout way.
I want to ask, when will the Heavenly Soldier Battle Armor be able to equip the troops.
Or if you want to ask, there is still a shortage of experimenters in the project team.
I'm going to recommend myself.
In their opinion, the experimenter must have been able to come into contact with the Celestial Soldier Warframe on a regular basis.
This is much faster than waiting for the Heavenly Soldier War Armor to be developed and equipped with troops, and it will be able to reach it.
According to the R&D cycle of general equipment.
At that time, they were still in the army and did not serve in the army.
Perhaps, he would have been discharged from the army and changed jobs a long time ago.
A group of people gathered around Zhang Xingyang, twittering,
It was not easy to deal with the many people with different purposes and surrounding them.
Zhang Xingyang finally had a mind and began to explain some things about the experimenter to Wu Jiang.
