Rebirth 2009: Synthetic God

The first major event: street fighting. ♢♢

The first scene is a small-scale encounter in the suburbs.

This site mainly simulates the terrain of suburbs and villages. There are simulated houses with reinforced concrete structures, but there are not many of them. There are also wastelands, ditches, etc. around it.

There were bullet holes everywhere and traces of previous explosions.

A platoon of soldiers is in the final assembly.

"We are the blue team in this exercise. The project is an 'uninformation encounter'. The opponent's personnel are unknown, their weapons are unknown, and their configuration is unknown. Our goal is to repel the enemy. We must make full use of the advantages of the bunker. We can hold on or attack proactively. But you can’t leave the drill area.”

"Communication channel 1 is the general command center of the exercise. Always pay attention to the situation. Do you understand?"

"I understand!"

The platoon leader temporarily turned off the communication and whispered: "There are my comrades on the opposite side, and the opponent is most likely the model platoon in the eastern Z area. Whether we can be proud depends on today! If we defeat the model platoon, we will treat everyone to hot pot when we go back! "

According to the instructions, they quickly dispersed in squad units, and each squad was further divided into different configurations such as lookout points and firepower points.

The soldiers were eager to try and get to know this "model platoon".

Many soldiers looked out from behind the cracks in the wall and from the windows.

However, I was confused at the beginning.

There were only seven people on the red side, and they stopped outside the entrance of "Suburban" and then communicated something.

I saw several big guys flying in the distance, and the buzzing sound of the propellers was very obvious.

They recognize the drone. After all, everyone knows about enlightened intelligence, but they have never seen such a big thing!

The drone, with a diameter of more than one meter, flew in front of the red square, and then hovered at a height of more than one meter. For a moment, it felt like flying sand and stones. ♦ൠ

"Kaka"

The buckle was released, and a mechanical dog fell from the belly of each drone.

These guys who are less than one meter tall all carry a light machine gun on their backs, and some even carry grenade launchers.

Blue Fang:? ? ?

Does the military already have this technology?

Oh..we are the military

What a fart! Are those guys on the red side playing games?

Are you sure this is a practical exercise? Is the whole world playing us?

After the red square mechanical dog was in place, it did not enter the area immediately.

What the blue team didn't know was that the exercise objectives the red team got were completely different from them. They only had "stick to counterattack". The red team also included assembly tests, battlefield search tests, man-machine collaboration tests, and remote support tests.

"Inform the 'Intelligent Brain' that the mechanical dog has been released and started normally."

Zhou Rui's voice came from Hong Fang's earphones: "'Zhi Nao' received it, now conducting battlefield search test."

Zhinao is Zhou Rui's code name.

The red team leader nodded and took out a small metallic ball from his tactical pocket.

Hmm. I touched it wrong. This is for calling for an air strike. It’s very risky, but I’m not very skilled yet.

Changed the pocket. Take out a special grenade ammunition.

The metal shell, like a small medicine bottle, will not explode, but can be fired from a launcher under the rifle muzzle, which can be used to call drones for reconnaissance from a distance.

With a "bang", the special ammunition was shot 400 meters away and landed in the center of the "drill area".

The "small medicine bottle" was rolling, and the equipment inside was constantly transmitting signals to the outside world.

In less than a minute, seven or eight small drones appeared on the horizon and flew into the "town".

Two minutes later, the voice of "Intelligence Brain" sounded again: "The search is completed and seven suspected points have been found. They have been reflected on your remote control. Now we will conduct the human-machine collaborative propulsion test."

Each class is equipped with a "visual remote control", which is actually the reverse version of the "Spirit Bird Series" remote control. Its main function is not to send signals to control the drone, but to receive information.

After leaving three minutes for the scene to digest the information, the mechanical dogs stood up uniformly and moved forward.

The 10 mechanical dogs "clicked" to clear the way, while the people lagged about 20 meters behind. At every corner, the mechanical dogs came first.

——————

A few kilometers away, Zhou Rui was wearing headphones and staring at a screen.

In a low-intensity battle of this level, the total "number of machines" invested does not exceed 20. There is no need for an "intelligent command cabin" to intervene, and there is no need to wear gloves. A computer is enough.

In fact, in the design, for this kind of small encounter, the command authority will be delegated to the scene, and the response will be faster. However, these soldiers have only been trained for one day and cannot play well.

On the other side, Feng Yang was testing the "intelligent command module". He did not intervene in the command, but he was taking the opportunity to test the command module's data analysis capabilities.

There were many people around him, including engineers from the "Military Research Institute", soldiers who cooperated in reloading ammunition, and the protective force of the military.

Although they are eight hundred miles apart, as long as Zhou Rui, an important person, stands on the training field, he must ensure that nothing goes wrong.

Looking at the data on the screen, a few minutes passed. Perhaps out of caution, Hong just advanced 200 meters.

Zhou Rui sighed: "The efficiency of cooperating with people has dropped several times. If this was all left to machine intelligence, it would probably be flattened."

Feng Yang pushed up his glasses and looked at the various data in the command cabin intently. He said, "You can't think like that. The investment cost is high, and the action is not precise enough. There are still benefits to having someone."

Zhou Rui endured his temper and said: "Take your time, we have many projects, and I remember there will be a purely mechanical propulsion part later."

The more in-depth the study was, the more Zhou Rui felt that human-machine collaboration was not the optimal solution to "intelligent machine warfare".

It's just the ethical level, the moral level, whether it's the military's expectations or social acceptance, it's impossible to skip this part.

This is the same as the "clone sheep" back then.

Looking at the intelligent command cabin behind him, Zhou Rui thought that in an ideal situation, it would take into account human initiative and ethics while maximizing the efficiency of "machine intelligence". This could be considered a compromise, provided that the person commanding could play it well.

A few more minutes passed before the first shot of the exercise was finally fired.

It was the mechanical dog that fired.

After 30 seconds, Zhou Rui heard the feedback.

"Reporting to 'Zhi Nao', the first suspected point has been cleared. Five people were 'killed'. There were no casualties on our side. One of the mechanical dogs was hit in the forelimb."

They are all paint bombs, but if they hit, they hit.

Zhou Rui: "I have seen that the mechanical dog is considered damaged and you can remove the gun."

For the next 20 minutes, the blue team was confused the whole time.

Those who are hidden outside are basically drones coming over to take a roll call.

Those hidden indoors were suppressed by mechanical dog fire, and rifle grenades were taken away directly. Those that could not be taken away were loitering grenades flown in to find people.

If it can't be taken away again, a "self-propelled mine" will be taken out.

It won't really explode. Roll it in and beep three times, and the whole house will be "dead".

The red team suffered zero casualties throughout the process.

Only the mechanical dogs were "destroyed" three times.

It's not that the blue side didn't fight back. After realizing that "the enemy's equipment had a big problem," they tried to take the initiative. However, the red side resolutely implemented Zhou Rui's teachings and never stepped out to do the work that the drone could complete.

That's called a dog. A dog has created a whole sky.

Most of the Blue Team personnel had only seen mechanical dogs before they were "killed".

A team of 7 people took the initiative to enter the dangerous area and wiped out 30 people.

Battlefield-level drones such as "patrol aircraft" and "migratory bird aircraft" were not used throughout the process. They were limited to "tactical" level equipment. Even the "remote bomb delivery" of large drones was not used, but it has already been launched. Super strong results.

It was a small-scale operation and an appetizer for a series of exercises.

The red side was so happy. Most of the people came back with their magazines still full and beaming with joy!

Blue Fang's teeth were chewed into pieces.

Just when they thought the nightmare was over, they heard the commander say: "Now for the second round, 'Information Encounter'. Now you guys already know the red team's weapons and equipment. I'll give you 30 minutes to review. Again."

Blue Fang: Wo Nima!
