Technology: Breaking the Global Monopoly

Chapter 2001 Ant Nest

Wen Sanhuai looked at the five-meter-tall monster in front of him and felt his heartbeat suddenly accelerate.

After passing the second phase of the Future Warrior Project assessment, his job was no longer in the overseas security project department.

The company gave Wen Sanhuai and other security elites who passed the assessment several options.

You can return to your original department and your monthly base salary and project dividend subsidies will increase by 10% to 30%, in addition to some other benefits.

The second option is to apply to be transferred to Jiuzhou Xinghai Company, become a trained reserve astronaut, and participate in the company's aerospace strategic projects. In the future, you will be able to enter the company's lunar development and construction base more easily than others, and even benefit your family after the successful construction of the lunar city.

The third one is for those who are already obsessed with improving their body functions. They can apply on their own, and after being examined and passed, they can enter the Future Warrior Project, a collaboration between the Biomedicine Department, the Biotechnology Research Institute and the Titanium Star Department.

No longer just a "participant" in training, but a coach for ordinary people in martial arts training, and at the same time able to obtain more knowledge and resources for the next stage provided by the company after passing the review.

If the first stage is successful, one can greatly improve personal experience and physical fitness, becoming comparable to or even better than top athletes.

Wen Sanhuai, who succeeded in the second stage, could no longer go back to his original "ordinary" job after sensing the mysterious energy in his body improving all aspects of his body.

Controlling drones and familiarizing yourself with firearms are not as addictive as the feeling of actually improving your physical fitness.

And as far as he knew, if one could complete the second stage and advance to the third stage, it would greatly increase one’s lifespan!

  However, no matter how he guessed about the subsequent training, he did not expect that he would need training in operating a mecha from the second stage to the third stage!

"Why are you still standing there? Are you afraid of losing this time?"

Hearing the voice of his teammates coming from the headset, Wen Sanhuai smiled and shook his head, saying: "I'm just adjusting my mind. You know, the mecha we are training is the latest version of the self-contained neural converter. If your mind is wandering, it will not perform well."

"You should be calm when encountering problems. You security personnel who are sent overseas are much more difficult to deal with than those arrogant and self-important guys in our project."

After years of training, Jiuzhou Technology has selected more than one or two outstanding talents.

The contestants of the second season of "Omnic Crisis" are still working hard on the game, and have no idea what kind of "blow" they will encounter in the official competition.

To be among the top 100 among Bluestar's hundreds of millions of competitors worldwide, you have become the focus of everyone's attention.

But he only has the qualifications to control the mecha and fight against this group of non-humans.

While the "newcomers" and old employees were still struggling in the second and third stages, at an underground base in the Anxi Military Region of Daxia, Old Man Zheng also withdrew his suspicious gaze.

"Zhou Long, the runner-up of the first Global Martial Arts Tournament of "Omnic Crisis", was the strongest soldier in our military region. Although he is now a member of Jiuzhou Technology, he still has deep feelings for our old unit.

Gu Qing chose to send this person to introduce the equipment, which shows that he still attaches great importance to us. "

A staff officer beside him said this softly.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Zheng shook his head.

Whether to change or not, actions speak louder than words.

The fact that Gu Qing has begun to hide in Daxia and no longer attends large-scale meetings or high-level talks in person is enough to explain some problems.

Zhou Long, wearing the latest bulletproof vest, took out the next piece of equipment and introduced it: "This is our latest micro attack drone, codenamed 'Ant Nest'."

Ant nest?

He Zhifu, a military scientist from Anxi, looked at the grenade-like device in Zhou Long's hand with a puzzled look.

Facing the doubts of the scientists around him, Zhou Long nodded and continued: "As long as this grenade is opened, one hundred and eight ant-sized robots will be released immediately. Each ant has the ability to resist signal interference and can fly continuously for an hour or crawl for ten hours. If it is under daylight, the system will run longer.

They will conduct patrol scans within designated areas, not only providing users with real-time environmental scanning and modeling, but also having certain directional blasting capabilities.

The action logic is based on the ant colony algorithm, which was designed based on the observation of ant populations and inspired by them.

The bionics scientists at Jiuzhou Technology have discovered that ant nests can easily find the shortest path between their nests and food through mutual cooperation. After in-depth research on the logic of this group movement, they have applied the technology to micro-UAV technology and have achieved great results.

It is worth mentioning that the information provided by the ant nest can be fed back to the combat system - the Kirin system. We have had virtual tests. In a small-scale positional battle, only three mechas and ten ant nest combat units are needed to win. At the same time, they can all be automatically and intelligently recycled, so there is no need to worry that they will not return to the nest after being released.

Of course, this is based on the premise that the other side does not use weapons of mass destruction to launch indiscriminate attacks. "

He Zhifu has seen a lot of Jiuzhou Technology’s intelligent military weapons and equipment over the years, but the "Ant Nest" he saw this time was really eye-opening.

This thing is not big in size, and a single-soldier combat system can easily carry four or five of them. According to the power mentioned by the person from Jiuzhou Technology, two soldiers can determine the outcome of a small-scale encounter.

  He asked seriously, "With the Kirin system as the core and the drone combat unit, the drone series equipment developed by your company are all excellent, but we want to know whether the information transmission between these devices can be detected and deciphered by other units?

After all, once the ant nest is opened, it will play a huge role in cooperating with other drone arrays and affect the direction of the war. If this weapon is controlled by the enemy, how can we counter it?

Another thing is that I would like to know more about the drones loaded inside the ant nest, including their driving methods, route selection, applicable environment and other details.

This shouldn't violate the confidentiality agreement, right?"

Zhou Long no longer has the bad temper he had when he participated in the Global Martial Arts Tournament in "Omnic Crisis".

After hearing He Zhifu's series of questions, he became as gentle as a kind elder.

He nodded to indicate that he had heard, and waited until the other party finished speaking before answering: "The questions you raised do not violate the confidentiality agreement of our Jiuzhou Technology, and General Gu has often told us that when communicating with the soldiers of the Anxi Military Region and other Daxia Arms, we must accurately answer their questions so that the soldiers can know themselves and the enemy, and then they can fight invincible. You and everyone can turn on the synchronous frequency modulation function of the SR1 glasses and SR2 glasses. We will transmit a temporary valid data file for you to explain the 'Ant Nest' drone series in detail."

He Zhifei and others did not hesitate and took the initiative to turn on the FM function.

Afterwards, they used the virtual reality enhanced technology of the SR series glasses to clearly see the analysis of the equipment.

"As ants move forward, they leave behind a volatile secretion along the path they pass through, which serves as a pheromone that they understand.

The presence and intensity of this substance can be sensed by ants during the foraging process and guide the ants' next movement direction.

The ant colony algorithm developed by our Jiuzhou Technology team of engineers uses artificial ants to simulate the behavior of real ants to solve combinatorial optimization problems. It is a new type of heuristic bionic evolutionary algorithm following heuristic search algorithms such as genetic algorithms, simulated annealing algorithms, artificial neural network algorithms, and taboo search algorithms.

Based on the ant colony algorithm, the search is optimized to avoid local optimal solutions. The Ant Nest UAV can fly ten meters above the ground and can also move in water within five meters. It is equipped with a multi-function radar and a micro camera, which effectively overcomes the defects of the ant colony algorithm. At special moments, the outer shell armor can be deployed to resist signal impact, ordinary flames, and slightly corrosive liquids...

It has strong adaptability in actual combat environment.

Disadvantages: The device has very low destructive power. If necessary, it can drill into the core area of ​​important equipment components to carry out small-scale explosion damage... The travel speed is slow..."

After He Zhifei and others understood the functions and technical basis of this equipment, Zhou Long continued: "The ant colony algorithm will be upgraded and developed, and our company is gradually developing more mimic robots.

For example, the flying bird that we can summon at any time is equipped with three high-definition wide-angle lenses. It can fly high in the sky and clearly capture battlefield information. It also integrates a micro-toxic gas launcher and a micro-rocket launcher.

Of course, it can also be upgraded to a flock system. A flock of birds will fly over the enemy's position and instantly know all the enemy's arrangements. At the same time, they can carry out suicide attacks when necessary, paralyzing the enemy's important core units in an instant.

However, the energy storage technology of the Fei Niao equipment system still needs to be improved. The high-intensity cruising time of only two hours has not reached our ideal setting..."

Perhaps because he has feelings for his old company, Zhou Long leaked a lot of information in his words when explaining some weaknesses of the product.

For example, the technical development direction that this equipment is based on and the upgrade notice of this equipment.

Although he didn't say this, the shortcomings discovered by the Anxi military scientists during their tests would not affect the success of this cooperation, but he did not waste everyone's time. Instead, he was straightforward and did not hide anything.

Today, the military of Daxia no longer lives as frugally as it did in the past.

The big Desert Dog owners are not short of money, and Daxia, which does trade all over the world, is not short of money either.

Moreover, in recent years, there have been more and more micro and small suicide drones and reconnaissance drones on overseas battlefields.

Sometimes, soldiers even carry drones with them when they go out on missions. When they arrive at their destination, they release the drones and then start "playing with their phones" to control the drones to do their work.

There are not many technical barriers. It only needs a motor, propeller, balancing device and other functional devices to take off. This kind of low-level drone can be easily imitated in an ordinary robot toy factory in Daxia. However, for projects in other countries and regions, to manufacture reliable and low-cost drones, it is still a "technology" that many military industrial enterprises are developing.

After all, it is too difficult to avoid the parts and equipment supplied by Daxia.

They basically set up a shell company in a neutral country, place orders and make requests through commercial channels, purchase drones from Daxia toy manufacturers and military industrial enterprises, and then resell them to their own customers.

DJI has made a lot of money in this field.

Anxi has had a lot of collaborations with DJI, but its collaboration with Jiuzhou Technology started with purchasing components for mecha systems.

However, no one expected that Jiuzhou Technology did not "learn" from DJI to engage in large-scale production, but instead really took the elite route. The drone equipment it developed always left a deep impression on the Anxi military and other scientists in the military industry.

In particular, various drone intelligent systems developed by Jiuzhou Technology’s system software engineering department. Now DJI’s drones all rely on this intelligent system as the strongest system “turtle shell”.

He Zhifou and a group of military scientists were quite impressed after experiencing the Ant Nest equipment.

It’s the price…

A "hand grenade" costs 500,000 Xia Yuan, which is really not cheap.

Zhou Long seemed not to notice the looks in everyone's eyes. He silently waited for the Anxi military to finish checking and experiencing the Ant Nest, and then continued, "The Ant Nest drone has a special technology that we did not turn on while you were experiencing it.

That is, at critical moments, our Ant Nest drones can operate autonomously without anyone sending commands.”

"Autonomous operation?" He Zhifu looked at this group of "hand grenades" and wondered in his heart, could this group of equipment also be used as "mines"? As a trap?

Zhou Long nodded slightly to the middle-aged scientist, then said seriously.

"That's right. In the absence of human operation, the ant nest can set the conditions for opening. Once the conditions are met, it will automatically open and then formulate work tasks based on the current environmental information.

These conditions can be time setting programs, ambient temperature, density of surrounding biological signals, soil vibration frequency, and even magnetic field changes and soil pressure changes.

Self-designed work tasks can also be set, such as automatically detecting all information at the highest silence level, small-scale explosions, signal interference within the environment, and information eavesdropping.

All information can be transmitted using 5.5G and 6G communications and exclusive satellite communications for encrypted transmission, and satellites can also be applied for high-power detection and signal docking in the area...

During these actions, each combat unit in the ant nest possesses extremely high intelligent judgment capabilities. "
