The technological competition starts with the integration of space-time memory

Chapter 30 Complete Crush
Although it is not a military medal exclusive to soldiers, this commemorative medal with special significance is also a reflection of national rewards.

When the list of people who received the third-class commemorative medals was read out and Li Tang found that his name was not on it, he felt relieved.

After all, given his contribution to the project, it would be impossible for him to get a third-class commemorative medal.

Soon, he was no longer among the second-class medal personnel.

Until the old general began to read out the names of those who had won the first-class medal.

"The personnel who received the first-class 'Operation Roaring Showdown' medal are——"

Li Tang became inexplicably nervous.

"Ni Changcheng, the 14th Research Institute of the Electronic Technology Group."

As the project leader and chief expert, Ni Changcheng deserves this honor.

“Li Tang from the School of Materials Science and Engineering, Fudu University.”

After the old general finished reading, he added, "Please come up to the stage and let the leader present the awards!"

With a "boom" sound, Li Tang felt his blood boiling.

Previously, only Lin Wei and two other pilots had their first-class merits awarded by that person, and he did not expect that his first-class commemorative medal would also be awarded by that person.

While he was still confused, Ni Changcheng pulled him up.

Li Tang finally came to his senses and hurriedly followed Ni Changcheng up to the podium.

When the man hung the medal around his neck, he began to warn:

"Professor Li, I heard that you are researching artificial intelligence. We are a little behind in this area, and we urgently need scientists like you to join in and catch up!"

Li Tang was immediately shocked. He had only been researching artificial intelligence for more than a month, and yet his research had reached the top!

Without taking time to think, he immediately expressed his opinion: "Please rest assured, Chief, Dragon Country's artificial intelligence will definitely lead the world!"

"Young people are really ambitious! Good, good, good..."

Li Tang returned to his seat, picked up the golden medal on his chest and rubbed it carefully.

The seal is in the shape of a five-pointed star, surrounded by the Great Wall, dragon patterns, and flags. In the middle is a howling wolf on top and a howler with broken wings on the bottom.

The expression method is really straightforward!

After working on confidential projects for several years, I finally made some money this time.

After the commemorative medals were distributed, the commendation ceremony was over.

That person, who was busy with many things, naturally left.

The atmosphere of the subsequent celebratory dinner was relaxed and free.

Li Tang was also arranged to sit next to the veteran general. Only then did he realize that this person was the leader Zhao Changhai.

"Professor Xiao Li, I know that you have made more contributions to the country than this. I also know that you are at the world's top level in mathematics. I wonder what you think of the role of artificial intelligence in future wars?"

The equipment tradition of the Dragon Kingdom’s soldiers has always been to defeat the strong with the weak, and they have never crushed strong enemies in terms of equipment.

As the steward in this area, it is understandable that he is concerned about the booming artificial intelligence.

But Li Tang, who had just been concerned about artificial intelligence, had a clear mind.

Zhao Changhai is not shooting in the dark.

"I don't know much about the military's equipment, but they are currently researching artificial intelligence and have made substantial progress."

"Oh...has there been substantial progress? Compared to ChatGPT in America, how does it compare?"

Li Tang uttered four words confidently:

"Completely crushed!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhao Changhai's eyes. According to the information in his hand, although Li Tang was young, he was never arrogant. At this moment, for Li Tang to say these four words, he must have extremely strong self-confidence in his heart.

However, the information clearly stated that he had only been researching artificial intelligence for more than a month, and he only had eight or nine programmers under him, and the servers were assembled by purchasing parts.

How could he have made such progress that gave him such great confidence in such a simple environment?

"Can you tell me how far it has come?"

Li Tang said calmly: "It can replace programmers, translators, doctors, drivers, waiters, chefs, production line workers and other industries that do not require creativity or only require low creativity.

For example, scenarios such as smart home, smart manufacturing, smart logistics, smart assistant, smart R&D, etc. can all be realized.

Once fully applied, human society will undergo earth-shaking changes.

Especially, when it is combined with robots, it can also replace human soldiers!"

When Li Tang said his last sentence, a strange light flashed in Zhao Changhai's eyes.

In fact, ever since America's ChatGPT began to be widely used, the whole world has been looking forward to how artificial intelligence will change human society.

Some scientists have even begun calling for a ban on artificial intelligence because it will replace humans and pose a huge threat to humanity.

Some American lawmakers are already preparing to introduce bills to discuss restrictions on artificial intelligence.

Zhao Changhai doesn’t have the wherewithal to figure out what kind of changes artificial intelligence will bring to society, but Li Tang’s words about artificial intelligence robot soldiers still caught his attention.

The Dragon National Defense Force has carried out vigorous military reforms in the past decade, among which equipment modernization is the top priority.

Advanced technologies such as drones, robot dogs, passive exoskeletons, AR augmented reality, etc. are all being tested or put into service.

Even though Zhao Changhai had seen several experimental models of the robot soldiers that Li Tang mentioned, they were still a long way from being able to really go to the battlefield.

"Are you raising all the funds for your current projects yourself?"

Zhao Changhai didn't ask any more questions, but instead asked about the project funding.

Li Tang nodded. "Yes, the entire project is currently under the name of my company. Now that there has been some progress, I am planning to apply for subsidies from the school and the country."

“The Equipment Department can set up a project for you, which is the artificial intelligence robot you just mentioned.

But I need to make an on-site inspection to see how powerful your artificial intelligence is. How about it, are you welcoming me to your company?"

When Li Tang heard this, he was like, there is such a good thing? We must welcome it!
“Of course, I warmly welcome you, Mr. Zhao, to come to our company for guidance. However, we don’t have enough time to integrate robots, so we can only give you a temporary trial with commercial drones.

After all, my company does not have the qualifications to produce military products..."

Zhao Changhai waved his hand and said, "The issue of military product qualifications is easy to handle. We are advocating military-civilian integration now. As long as you satisfy me this time, I can issue you several certificates."

"Okay, I'll make sure the chief is satisfied."

"How long will it take you to prepare?"

"A week."

"Oh, a week. That's a long time... huh? A week?"

Zhao Changhai originally thought that Li Tang needed to re-study the combination of artificial intelligence and drones, and the research and development time would take at least more than a month.

He also planned to give Li Tang another month to prepare.

"Yes, it can be done in a week. You don't have time by then? It's okay, I can wait."

"No... never mind." Zhao Changhai hesitated, and when he spoke again, his tone had changed:
"It's a deal then. I'll visit your company in a week. I hope you won't let me down!"

"Don't worry, I guarantee that the chief will come happily and leave satisfied."

"You, little comrade, are different from the old scientists after all. Haha, I like people like you."
