Global monopoly of technology

The development of drone swarm combat systems, military research projects such as unmanned submersibles and powered exoskeleton are closely related to artificial intelligence, and artificial intelligence requires high-end advanced chips, and high-end advanced chips require top semiconductor supply chains such as purple star lithography machines. To achieve high-end manufacturing.

All this is inseparable.

After arranging the affairs of the professional e-sports players, Luo Sheng left the science and technology complex and went to the Blue Coast Laboratory.

At present, the drone swarm combat system project has only begun to be secretly launched. Specially recruited e-sports professional players also need to transform from e-sports players to special fighters, which will take time to cultivate and transform.

However, Luo Sheng's project is not trivial, let alone stingy. All aspects can be advanced at the same time, the funds are sufficient, and the money is so powerful.

...

Côte d'Azur laboratory.

At this moment, about a hundred engineers from the drone swarm combat system development team gathered together. Luo Sheng paced in front of the conference screen and said: "How many people are there who have played the classic series developed by Blizzard? The game "StarCraft"?"

Everyone spoke.

"Played."

"I haven't played it, but I have heard it."

"A golden crispy chicken."

"After playing for a while and then being uninstalled by blood abuse, the game was too difficult to play."

Most of the people present are young engineers. Naturally, they are no strangers to games. Young people who don't play games these days.

Luo Sheng laughed and said: "If you have played this game or have some understanding, you should be impressed by the Protoss aircraft carrier in the game. This aerial combat platform that carries a large number of small drones for combat is very imba in the story setting. It can be said that people stop and kill people, and Buddhas stop and kill Buddhas, unleashing densely packed drones flying around the sky like a swarm of bees. They have no way to enter the sky and the ground."

An engineer attending the meeting stunned: "Boss, you mean, we will also develop similar aerospace aircraft carriers in the future?"

Luo Sheng: "Yes, it can be modified from a large transport aircraft such as the Yun-20 Magic. It can carry thousands of drones for long-distance group operations at a time. The range of the drone itself is short, but it can be used as a platform by a large air transport aircraft. Achieve ultra-long-distance deployment. With the rapid development of technologies such as drones, artificial intelligence, big data, and high-speed networks, the game art fantasy in "StarCraft" will gradually become a reality within reach."

Large transport aircraft must be handed over to other institutions for research and development. For example, the current "Yun-20" large transport aircraft project has undergone some magic changes to become an aerial drone carrier platform.

The drone swarm combat system is developed by Luo Sheng and his team.

Luo Sheng opened the conference video to show everyone the demonstration screen of the drone swarm combat system. Through the air transport platform, it can span thousands of kilometers or even tens of thousands of kilometers to attack the enemy's important maritime targets.

"The military is stepping up the development of drone swarm tactics." Luo Sheng glanced at the conference screen and said: "It is a large-scale aerial platform that carries and releases a large number of small drones. The cost-effective, multi-functional UAV group aerial networking autonomously cooperates with complex tactical functions such as flight control, situational awareness, target allocation and intelligent decision-making."

"In addition, it must be able to perform multi-purpose combat missions such as group reconnaissance and surveillance, group interference, and group strikes, which can effectively deal with complex electromagnetic environments, high-intensity confrontations, and highly uncertain battlefield environments."

Luo Sheng looked around a group of developers and added: "This is a requirement of the military, and the task of our project team is to develop drone products that meet the requirements of the military."

The two countries currently at the forefront in the field of drone clusters are undoubtedly China and the United States. During the recent stock market disaster, North America first achieved cluster flights of 50 fixed-wing drones. Unlike the previous drones that need to be equipped with an operator, these drones use wireless networks for information exchange and sharing, and through cluster ground control stations, one person can simultaneously control n drones. , And it also has drone funding and intelligent decision-making.

This is almost the same as the game mode of StarCraft. The difference is that one is the game environment and the other is reality.

Luo Sheng followed his train of thought and said: “We have to achieve three advantages of the drone swarm combat system. The first advantage is the decentralization of functions. There is no saying that a drone is the core of the entire system, and it will not be due to a certain one. Nodes are damaged and time-sensitive. After decentralization, they will gain strong survivability."

"The second advantage is to achieve high cost performance. While achieving cheap'saturation strikes', it can also consume the opponent's high-value weapons and equipment, such as air defense missiles, etc., to achieve the advantage of cost asymmetry. Much is cheaper than you, and it’s a blood loss for dozens of drones to be shot down by an air defense missile.

"The third advantage is to achieve coordinated operations with manned aircraft. Manned fighter jets such as J-20 fighters will greatly improve combat efficiency and mission flexibility."

A young programmer present subconsciously exclaimed: "Doesn't this mean that drone troops as dense as locusts will be the protagonist on the future battlefield?"

A scene from a science fiction movie "Ander's Game" appeared in everyone's mind.

Luo Sheng nodded affirmatively: "That's right. At present, a brand new military technology revolution represented by drones and intelligence has arrived. Whoever has mastered the key technologies of the new military revolution can be on the battlefield in the future. Invincible."

"The drone swarm combat system will become the main force and vanguard of future air communications, reconnaissance, and strikes. It will comprehensively enhance the system combat capability of our army and help our army become one of the leaders of the new military revolution. Give it to us, and have high hopes, everyone."

Looking at the more than one hundred eager members in front of him, Luo Sheng couldn't help but smile. These people are the top R&D teams that he selected one by one from various departments of the two companies.

It is no exaggeration to say that they are by far the most powerful artificial intelligence research and development team in the country and even in the world. The key is that their average age is only 26.2 years old. The youngness of this team is enough to make any institution envy and envy. Being young means that they can fight on the front line of scientific research for decades, which means that they will produce countless results.

What's more, there is Luo Sheng's leadership, he is an authority in the field of artificial intelligence.

"Distribute research and development tasks below."

BTC e-sports club training base.

At the moment there were two strangers standing at the registration area at the entrance of the club. The staff on duty looked at the documents handed over by each other in confusion. After completing the registration, two unsmiling strangers entered the training base.

The staff member on duty said to himself in a daze: "Military personnel? Can you still be paid attention to by the military while playing games? It's been a long time."

At the same time, inside the training base, at the moment in the training room of the BTC club StarCraft 2 team, the coaching staff and professional players are all gathered around and communicated together. Lilith is also present, and everyone is discussing about Lilith's expedition to Paris, France. The eighth WRPO World Championship matters.

Behind every top player is a team that will make suggestions, analyze opponents, target opponents, help players find their own shortcomings, etc. The team league is the best, and the level of individual competition is the highest.

"The top 16 players in WRPO this year are Lilith, Zest, INnovation, Fantasy, Byul, Classic, Life, Maru, Rogue, Meng Yue (FunTime), herO, sOs, PartinG, Chang Wenshan (Kay), Polt, Lilbow. The results of the group draw have come out, and Allie is in Group A."

After the head coach finished speaking, his players couldn't help exclaiming when they saw the list of the other three players in Group A.

"I'm going to the death group. This is. Kay of Team Kaizi (Kz) is in Group A, Lv Bu (INnovation) of Team SKT1 is also in Group A, and Classic Emperor Classic is also in this group?"

The head coach continued: "The opening match of this year's WRPO 16 is Ali vs. INnovation. The second game is Kay vs. Classic's Protoss Civil War. Ali is the first to play WRPO. Only two players in the group stage can qualify for the knockout round of the top 8. Two winners decide a qualifying spot, and the loser will compete with the winner of the other two losers to decide a qualifying spot."

"The other three players are regulars of WRPO, and they are very powerful, especially INnovation, who won the GSL championship this year, is in hot shape recently. The gorgeous multi-line short position makes Zest, who is good at defensive, beyond the reach, proving that he is the champion of WRPO this time. Popular, known as robots and pesticide players, many top Zerg players have also fallen into his hands."

"Ali is a talented player with solid basic skills, but she plays too honestly. She likes to play well with her opponents. She is a hard-powered player, but not suitable for competitions, especially when the opponents are amazing and rich. ."

Xu Jing (Lilith) looked at the coach and asked: "Then how to change?"

Coach: "The transition is very simple. Learn to zoom in on the field. Before you were not famous, no one would study and target you, but now you are also an S-class player. The opponent will definitely study your style, and you are too honest, the opponent knows Your style will be very stealthy, knowing that you will not use his big moves, you will be at a disadvantage at the start. And if you are a strong player who likes to increase your moves from time to time, your opponent will not be able to get your start. Naturally, I dare not steal too much."

"A player like sOs is very good at playing games, all kinds of tactics, unexpected tactics IQ suppress opponents, known as the king of ideas, opponents see his ID, they have to make three points first, and have to be disciplined to guard against him. , Your competitive level needs to be taken to the next level, which is to make your play styles diversified and make your opponents unpredictable."

"The rest is the experience of the competition. There is nothing to say. Play more games and more competitions to accumulate gradually. In terms of tactics, the coaching staff will conduct a comprehensive research on each opponent for you and make corresponding tactical arrangements. However, on the field You still have to rely on you to play the game."

The manager of the BTC club came here while the team head coach was talking non-stop.

"Everyone, pause for a moment, Ali, come here, someone will look for you."
