Gundam, but from the Ground Alliance to the Human Alliance to the out-of-control servitor

Captain Brad looked a little distracted and sat back in the captain's seat;

“Has the container that was given to us been inspected?”

"Time was limited, and Staff Sergeant Long Jose did not choose to open it on the spot. However, the explosive reaction detection and nuclear, biological and chemical weapons reaction detection from the outside have been completed. The possibility of the contents posing a threat to the White Base is very small. ."

Bai Jin adjusted the picture on the monitoring screen on the side of the bridge to the central hangar of the White Base. There, a dozen maintenance personnel had already put on aerospace protective clothing and were carefully hoisting under the Steel Perry transport aircraft. around those few containers.

"Hey, do you need to be like this? I didn't have such complete protection when transporting these boxes back."

Kai, who was in charge of piloting the Steel Perry transport plane, drooped his eyelids and watched speechlessly as the maintenance crews, who looked a little clumsy because they were wearing a full set of protective equipment, were inspecting the containers with various instruments.

"Ahem—Corporal Kai, you also need to be examined. Please follow us to the disinfection room."

A muffled voice came from the small speaker hanging outside the protective suit, making the look on Kai's face even more confused.

"seriously?"

"Haha, Kai, please cooperate with us. Although it is said to be a gift from friendly forces, Captain Brad said that it can be used as an opportunity for practice. It will be better than being in a hurry when the White Base actually receives dangerous items. It’s better.”

The operator in protective clothing refused to comment and pushed Kai into a small room next to the hangar.

"Are you all ready?"

"External biochemical examination confirmed that there are no abnormalities."

"External electromagnetic radiation inspection to confirm there is no abnormality."

"External signal check, confirm that there is no internal signal received or sent to the outside world."

"Okay, then get ready to open the container!"

The leading assembler made a gesture, took the lead in stepping forward, held the locking bolt on the container door with one hand, and pushed it outward one by one.

'The last step is left...'

The operator of the White Base thought in his mind. Although he knew that these were supplies given by friendly forces who had fought side by side in the battle, the protective clothing on his body and the serious and dull atmosphere around him made him feel a little nervous. ;

It's as if there is some biological monster or time bomb hidden in this container.

"Isn't it very meaningful to conduct exercises like this? I think they are very serious."

Captain Brad, who was watching the progress here on the bridge, sighed.

"After all, many things cannot be learned by just reading instructions and training manuals. You always need to practice to understand them, Captain Brad."

"It's a little strange for you to say this, Shirogane."

"It's the same for me; any simulation environment and model in a computer is ultimately just a simulation of reality to a certain extent and will always have its own limitations; real feedback obtained in practice is often the most valuable .”

The operator opened the door of the container, and at the same time the searchlight on the protective suit automatically turned on, penetrating the darkness deep in the container;

"That's a person? No..."

Rows of figures stood upright in the container. Although they had human-like limbs and heads, their rough appearance and undisguised steel bones told everyone present their true identities - —

"what is this?"

one of the maintenance staff asked.

"It seems to be an infantry positioning tactical robot used by the Federal Army. Captain Brad, you should have seen a similar model when you were in Gabro, right?"

Platinum saw something familiar yet unfamiliar to her; Cyclops was one of the Federation's many technical reserves for unmanned combat weapons. Unfortunately, due to the cost and difficulty of remote control, its application scenarios were limited.

"Indeed, many sentries are manned by such robots... However, Lieutenant Colonel Frederick left this to us. Does it mean that this kind of robot is also operated by you?"

Captain Blade looked at the pictures sent back from the hangar with some surprise. When he was receiving training in Gabro, he happened to see the scene of these robots defeating a small group of Zeon infiltration troops. He was impressed by the scene. The impression is quite deep;

At that time, he had no idea what kind of burden would suddenly fall on his shoulders in the future. He just felt that the federal army was as advanced as the military in past science fiction stories.

"No, I don't know the federal army's army tactical system very well..."

Bai Jin shook his head. The agent is the other one who is proficient in this. Although Bai Jin, who was born on Luna 2, can indeed contact the agent, for example, this contact is just a chat room with a simple function. ', rather than something like 'cloud disk'.

Things like large-capacity control model files can only be interconnected in a physical sense and can be transmitted to each other when data synchronization is performed.

In the same way, Platinum is now unable to directly use the experience accumulated by agents in ground operations.

"...But making them move like humans, or realizing basic combat actions such as shooting and marching, these functions can be realized directly."

"Um……"

Captain Brad pondered for a moment and said thoughtfully:

"...Since they have been given to us, there is no reason to leave them here and not use them. Platinum, try to activate them. If they can be used, they should be able to make up for the current shortage of manpower on the White Base."

"Got it, Captain Blade."

'But, agent, how come your equipment is still in Zeon's control area, and the Zeons haven't noticed it yet? '

Platinum shared the production batch numbers of these dozens of 'Cyclops'.

'The batch number was confirmed to be that it was transported to the North American Theater after the Zeon Army began to descend for operations. However, I had already withdrawn to Gabro from California at that time. It was presumed that it could not be used effectively, so it was temporarily shelved near the West Coast. Later, because of There was no time to recover from the changes in the war situation. '

'Also, has the White Base now decided to conduct a breach near Seattle? '

'Captain Brad is still a little hesitant, but plans to stay around and wait and see the situation. '

'Okay, that's enough; the Federal Army, Alaska Front, plans to carry out an amphibious landing operation on Seattle in 17 hours, so stay tuned. '

……

"Vice Admiral Krueger, at 0:16 on D[-], the situation was reported. Everything around the fleet was normal, and no enemy traces were found. The Pacific Combined Fleet sent information saying that a new Zeon submarine fleet was found near Hawaii, most likely in North America. The fleet stationed on the west coast has been successfully transferred..."

'Da da da……'

Heavy footsteps approached from behind Lieutenant General Kruger, and finally stopped only half a step away from him;

"...In addition, the intelligence from Lieutenant Colonel Frederick of the North American Behind Enemy Line Operations Command was successfully recovered, stating that the Zeon Army's troops stationed on the west coast were in chaos. At the same time, the intelligence mentioned the white assault landing ship belonging to the Space Force. Base number’s activity.”

"Federal Space Force?"

Lieutenant General Kruger turned around, and the figure that was the same as the one he saw when he was commanding operations in California in March came into his eyes.

"Yes,"

In the spacious command room of the Pangpan-class air-cushion battleship, the 'girl' who was dressed a little out of place nodded;

"It is an aerospace amphibious warship secretly developed by the Federation Space Force and capable of traveling inside and outside the atmosphere. According to Lieutenant Colonel Frederick's report, it is directly under the command of General Ray Bill. At the same time, there is the possibility of cooperating with our army to defeat Lieutenant General Ruger.”

"Is that so? But in the current situation, we can't communicate in real time, so the coordination can only be done on a case-by-case basis at most. We can't make plans based on this, agent."

"This variable will be carefully considered when evaluating the combat plan, Lieutenant General Kruger... However, my identification name is the strategic analysis and tactical staff robot TA-03, which is assigned to the Alaska Front..."

Although he is essentially the person himself, the 'agent' here is ordered to make his distinction clear.

"But why do you look the same as the agent?"

[Because some people are afraid of making bugs when copying and pasting]

"Because the anthropomorphic appearance body produced in the same batch is used."

"The performance is exactly the same as that of the agent, and the combat experience in the California battle is also recorded?"

Lieutenant General Kruger raised his hand to support his chin, with a playful expression on his face;

"That's true. All artificial intelligence individuals belonging to the Federal Army have a synchronized learning protocol, so I also know your experience of fighting with agents in California."

"So, what's the difference between you?"

"The difference is that the source code of the agent comes from the Federal Space Force and is simply retrained using the artificial intelligence model of the automated battleship project developed by the Space Force——"

The agent calmly read out the speech he had prepared long ago and also passed the review;

"——Under the leadership of the Federal Army Advanced Equipment Development Committee, I independently developed a high-performance Army multi-arms synthetic tactical staff AI that is suitable for the military services and has reached the world's leading level of similar products..."

It’s funny to say, how efficient the Ogas system is in combat, whether it is in the universe or on the earth, it has withstood the tempering of war, and has proven itself with each battle example;

High efficiency, strong adaptability, wide application range, and deep growth potential - however, this still does not satisfy the officers at the federal army headquarters, and the reason is very simple:

That was Parson, who was in charge of development. With a few hundred thousand yuan in military-civilian integration project funds, he achieved results worth hundreds of millions in revenue and inestimable strategic value.

'This is simply destroying the market. What is he doing so hard? '

This is what Director Fanel said like a madman after he was once again pushed for progress by various bosses in a certain meeting, and his tricks were compared with Dr. Parsons.

Yes, to speed up the progress; after seeing the performance of the Ogas system, the first thing the federal senior officials started to do was not to promote the application of the Ogas system -

Instead, a large number of new R&D projects with similar positioning in artificial intelligence, unmanned automation, etc. including algorithm models and supporting equipment have sprung up like mushrooms after rain;

After all, taking the outstanding achievements of the Ogas system as an example can well illustrate the potential of artificial intelligence technology in military applications.

But if there really is that ignorant young man who is ignorant of the world and can still sit in the position of approving funds, mention the scalability of the Ogas system itself, and question the necessity of these repeated projects;

It just so happened that the developer Dr. Parson was accidentally killed in the battle, which made the Ogas system completely a black box technology.

"Can we put a weapon with unknown principles and unknown potential risks into the hands of our soldiers who are fighting bloody battles on the front line?"

Proposing to increase funding for the development of new artificial intelligence models, the technical officer roared hoarsely on the podium; by the way, his speech was also proofread using a word processing applet with an agent interface.

Because the technical secrets hidden behind the Ogas system have never been identified——

From Dr. Parson's office computer in Luna 2's office to his residence on Earth, they were all meticulously searched by search experts from the federal police, military and intelligence agencies;

However, what they found were only a few papers that had just completed the review part, and some irrelevant technical conjectures, proving that Dr. Parson had indeed prepared and written a technical paper on the Ogas system.

However, when Dr. Parson disappeared in the battle and was later deemed dead, all of this came to an abrupt end, just like a blank paper with only the word 'answer' written on it and could no longer write. The answers were recorded. The author’s last attempt and effort.

'Probably Dr. Parson has been secretly developing the Ogas model as a strong artificial intelligence for these years. This time, he was just taking advantage of the cooperation project with the Space Force to test his research results. It's a pity that God is jealous of talents——'

Although far from the truth, this is currently the most credible version of speculation about the secrets of Dr. Parson and the Ogas system.

Chapter 48: Taking advantage of the trend (4)

As the Ogas system's popularity gradually increases in the federal military-industrial scientific research system, coupled with its creator Parson's own experience of "dying before he achieved fame," and the fact that the system itself has not yet been completely cracked fact--

All add a bit of legendary color to this system.

But it is undeniable that regardless of the criticism from all sides, the level displayed by the Ogas system in military artificial intelligence, and even in the wider field, is irreplaceable in the current Federation;

Even taking into account the extremely limited computing resources and development time that Dr. Parson can use, the existence of the Ogas system almost clearly negates all existing technical routes for artificial intelligence in the federal computer field.

'If the development process of the Ogas system can be restored, it will be enough to advance the technical level of artificial intelligence for ten... no... 30 years. '

This is the truth that Faniel, the director of the Automation Research Institute of the Arms Development Bureau at Gabro Headquarters, said during a casual conversation with his researcher.

In other words, if the Ogas system remains in its current black box state, it is optimistically estimated that it will take the federation at least ten years to reach this level, or it will invest a hundred times or a thousand times as much as Dr. Parsons. resources can be mobilized to accelerate the development of this project.

Obviously, considering that the Federation plans to launch a comprehensive counterattack by the end of 79, most similar projects do not have such time.

Therefore, except for a very small number of project teams that really have ideals and lack resources, they can still stick to their own development routes. Those artificial intelligence development projects that have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain have either handed over an unsatisfactory answer, or - —

That is to say, all the limited development time is used to package the Ogas system with layers of exquisite shells and command mechanisms, pretending to be completely independently developed by myself.

Anyway, following the proposal of Commissioner Jamitov Heyman, the current Ogas system has been spread to multiple federal research institutes for simultaneous analysis and cracking work. If internal personnel have channels, it is not a big deal to make a copy. It is as difficult as reaching heaven.

For the Ogas system, changing its name can spread all over the federal army, so there is nothing wrong with it. He is happy to play along.

……

Upon hearing such clichés as "Independently developed, suitable for military situations...", Lieutenant General Kruger's eyes instantly became sharp;

"What I mean is that from my perspective as a user, I don't care who developed it and whether it is independent or not. I just want to know the functional difference between you and the agent."

"In that case, there is no difference."

"Very good, that's easy. Just go ahead and call your agent, so that I don't have to remember your identification number."

"...as you like."

The agent kept smiling and nodded slightly to show that he understood; the new batch of Pangpan-class battleships are already equipped with computers that support the Piogas system.

The waves in the Eastern Pacific are surging, slapping against the huge air-cushion chassis of the Pangpan-class battleship. Even if it is roughly floating above the sea level, in the open ocean waters, the huge Pangpan-class battleship will inevitably shake from time to time. Lieutenant General Ruger turned pale and felt nauseated.

It’s funny to say that as an Army Lieutenant General, although Kruger is not a complete landlubber and can swim, his experience of sea boating is limited to fishing with his wife and children offshore during his vacation. He can feel the open sea. The storm was his first time.

Lieutenant General Kruger had a sullen face and silently sat down holding the console.

"Are you okay? Lieutenant General Kruger, there are anti-seasickness pills in the second drawer from the top on your left hand side."

The agent noticed that Lieutenant General Krueger had a somewhat troubled look on his face;

On the shaking ground, she had to stand with her legs slightly apart. With the help of the built-in balancer, her body continued to swing slightly in the opposite direction to the shaking of the floor, keeping her upper body almost completely stable.

Lieutenant General Kruger did not speak, but he still opened the drawer and found the medicine bottle. The agent also handed over a bottle of water at the right time.

"Huha - it seems that it is not unreasonable for the Pangpan class to be called a land battleship. Its ability to withstand wind and waves in harsh sea conditions is still a little worse than that of a real ship."
