Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 425 True Artificial Intelligence

The advantages and disadvantages of electromagnetic guns are almost the opposite of those of lasers. There is no air resistance in space, so the flying distance of shells can be said to be infinite, and the power will not decrease as the distance increases.

Of course, the opponent will not stand still and be beaten. The hit rate can be said to decrease with the distance, and the effective combat distance is not unlimited.

The power of the electromagnetic gun is significantly improved by increasing the power of the power supply and adding electromagnetic components.

Among them, the orbital electromagnetic gun has direct frictional contact between the shell and the track when it is fired, so the power increase is not unlimited, and it is suitable for launching small-caliber bullets with small mass and high rate of fire.

The shells of the coil gun do not need to be in contact with the coil, and are suitable for launching objects with larger calibers. However, the coil gun can only fire shells made of ferromagnetic materials. The counter electromotive force generated by the coil hinders the shell from further acceleration, so the power cannot be infinitely improved.

In Zhao Wei and Jiang Yan's design, the heavy laser cannon on the space battleship was canceled and replaced with a small laser cannon for intercepting space fighters and drones.

The long-range attack weapons of space warships are various types of electromagnetic guns and space missiles loaded with nuclear warheads.

The coordinated operations of the mecha units carried by space battleships, space fighters, robot soldiers and drones are currently the main attack force.

Using space fighters, robot soldiers, and drones as cover, and mech fighters boarding ships to control enemy warships are the main tactics designed by Zhong Cheng.

This is another reappearance of the boarding battle in the naval battle hundreds of years ago, and the development of military technology is also a spiraling road.

After Zhong Cheng and his party inspected several military bases in Beishan, Qaidam, and Tarim, Zhong Cheng was not satisfied.

He asked Zhou Hu and Chen Qiang to start working on a plan for the transformation of the civilian product manufacturing industry to military production.

Because according to the current production scale, it is impossible to guarantee the needs of a high-intensity war.

The annual output of the White Tiger Mecha is only 500 sets, and a local battle may consume more than this amount.

Zhong Cheng still asked Jiang Yan to continue to develop anti-mecha individual weapons. He believed that mecha warriors would be the protagonists in the future interstellar wars. If they could effectively restrain mecha warriors, they would gain the initiative on the battlefield.

Zhao Wei was very dissatisfied with Zhong Cheng's emphasis on individual tactical mechas. He thought that as long as the firepower of space battleships was strengthened and armed to the teeth, the mecha troops could not get close at all, and could only become moving targets one by one.

Zhong Cheng didn't argue with him, but just encouraged him to continue to improve the current space battleship. If the mech troops can really become a living target, that would of course be the most ideal result.

7 month 12 day.

When passing through Gaoyuan City, Zhong Cheng remembered that he hadn't seen Liu Zhenquan for a long time.

Liu Zhenquan can be said to have contributed a lot to the unity of human society.

Before the start of the Battle of Dawn, Liu Zhenquan and other Dreamworld R&D teams were quarantined.

After the Battle of Dawn, Zhong Cheng was busy with the preparations for the Human Federation and had no time to see him, so I just passed by today to take a look.

It turns out that the central server room of the Second World has been changed into the server room of Dreamworld, which is managed by a special agency of the federal government. Zhong Cheng has no permission to enter the computer room now.

In the reception room outside the computer room, Zhong Cheng saw Liu Zhenquan walking in excitedly, and he hugged Zhong Cheng tightly.

"Old leader, long time no see!"

With a trace of guilt in his heart, Zhong Cheng handed over Dream World, and at the same time handed over Liu Zhenquan and other developers to the Federation.

Now, Liu Zhenquan is no longer an employee of Red Star Company, but a government employee.

But there is no way around it. Without Liu Zhenquan's team, the Federation would not be able to control the Great Dream World.

"True, how are you doing this time?"

Liu Zhenquan still looks slovenly, but his mental state is very good.

"Well, now the average number of online users in Dream World has exceeded 20 billion, and a huge amount of data is generated every day. It's so cool to be simple!"

Zhong Cheng asked puzzledly: "With so many people online, there must be a lot of data generated. Isn't this normal? What's so cool about it?"

Liu Zhenquan slapped his head, "I didn't make it clear. It's human emotional data, including joy, anger, sorrow, and joy. This is the best resource for studying the formation of human consciousness!"

Zhong Cheng was taken aback, Liu Zhenquan did not give up, and was still working on his artificial intelligence research.

He thought of seeing Dongfang Bubai's performance in the game, and felt that Liu Zhenquan might really succeed!

"So how is your progress now?"

Liu Zhenquan said excitedly: "I'm doing research on system characters in the game function testing area, and I feel that I'm just one step away from real artificial intelligence!"

"Real artificial intelligence?" Zhong Cheng was not quite sure what he wanted to express.

Liu Zhenquan replied: "Let's put it this way, it is an artificial intelligence that has the same innovation ability, learning ability and even emotion as humans."

Zhong Cheng asked back: "Isn't that human?"

Liu Zhenquan shook his head, "It can't be said to be human, after all, human beings are composed of body and consciousness, and this kind of artificial intelligence only has a consciousness similar to human beings!"

Zhong Cheng stopped picking words with him, and asked, "Have you thought about it, have you researched the impact of such artificial intelligence on human society?"

Liu Zhenquan smiled and said: "Old leader, you think too much. Even if they have human consciousness, they are just a piece of code relying on the optical brain network. We can delete them by raising our hands."

"And the servers of Dream World have the strictest data control, they cannot slip out of the servers at all."

Zhong Cheng thought about the discussion with 9527 on this aspect, and felt that he was a little unfounded.

After much deliberation, Zhong Cheng decided to tell Liu Zhenquan about the anomalies he found in the game.

Liu Zhenquan was overjoyed after hearing Zhong Cheng's description of Dongfang Bubai's abnormal reaction.

He exclaimed: "I can guarantee that there is absolutely no such sentimental reaction for Dongfang Invincible. This is because he has formed his own views on his own life and situation, and this is the reflection of the emergence of an independent personality!"

"But how could it be that he is the only one in this situation?"

Liu Zhenquan then fell into confusion again. In the eyes of programmers, the number one master of the system role is actually no different from a passerby, and the modeling process is exactly the same.

Zhong Cheng thought of something and asked: "After the NPC dies in the game, the program will be reset, that is, his life experience and memory will be completely restored to the original settings, is that so?"

Liu Zhenquan nodded, "Of course, otherwise it wouldn't be a mess!"

Zhong Cheng laughed and said, "Then what is the biggest difference between Dongfang Bubai and other ordinary NPCs?"

Liu Zhenquan rolled his eyes a few times, nodded for a while, shook his head for a while, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he understood.

He patted himself on the head, and said repeatedly: "I'm so stupid, Dongfang Bubai is too powerful, from the time the server was launched until it was killed by you, it has never died."

"Decades of time in the virtual world have allowed him to experience too many people and things, and he has naturally formed self-awareness."

"Then besides Dongfang Bubai, there must be other characters who have not been killed by players, such as Zhang Sanfeng!"

Liu Zhenquan stood up excitedly and couldn't sit still anymore.

"Old leader, thank you so much, I'll check it first, and I'll find you when I'm free!"
