Chapter 165 Weaponry

Use the most optimized solution to help later generations continue civilization?
This is indeed a rather loose and even ambiguous command.

But after hearing Lingxi say this order, Chen Jian immediately judged that this was the order those people would give.

When the entire human world was in crisis, they immediately abandoned all their prejudices and even temporarily put aside their obsession with the ideals they held, focusing on only one thing, which was to continue human civilization.

This is by no means a betrayal of ideals, nor is it pessimism or negativity.

On the contrary, what Chen Jian saw in this order was a sense of confidence.

As long as people exist, ideals will exist.

No matter how much time has passed, no matter how many twists and turns there are along the way, in the end, the final destination will definitely be waiting there.

There is only one thing people need to do.

go ahead.

Chen Jian took a deep breath and then said:
"Where is the central control panel? I need to understand the storage situation of materials in the fortification through intuitive images and icons."

"The center console has been unfolded for you."

Lingxi's voice was accompanied by the falling of a huge screen, and then the screen lit up, and a large number of data icons unfolded on the desktop.

The intelligence level of this thing is really incomparable to that of 7025 - although the things there are equally useful, it has to be said that in terms of convenience, 095 has surpassed 7025 by a large margin.

Chen Jian took a quick glance at the icons and his attention was drawn to the label at the top.

He frowned slightly and asked:
"095, 046, 021, 014, 011, 001. Is this the list of disaster recovery works?"

"What does the color in front of each fortification mean?"

"Red means it has been confirmed damaged, grey means it has lost contact, and green means communication is working."

"Communications are smooth?"

Chen Jian was stunned.

"Then can Fortification 011 communicate with Fortification 095?"

"Yes."

Lingxi replied:
"Fortification No. 011 is located underground in the Purple Mountain Observatory. It is a super-large intelligent disaster recovery facility."

"Its self-sustaining system is more powerful than that of 095. The energy and computing power used by 095 are also remotely transported from Fortification 011."

"Based on the current feedback data from Fortification No. 011, the self-sustaining system of the fortification is operating well and there is no risk of damage for the time being."

Purple Mountain!
Chen Jian's hair stood on end.

He turned to look at Ji Xing, who also heard the familiar name.

Just a dozen hours ago, she had heard the name "Purple Mountain Observatory" from Chen Jian.

At that time, she still regarded it as some kind of "treasure house before the catastrophe".

And now, she realized very clearly that it was also the legacy of pre-Cataclysm humans!
After taking a deep breath, Ji Xing said:
"If this machine soul can confirm that there is also a disaster recovery facility there, then it proves that our judgment is correct."

"The Mechanicus, the Holy Blood Temple, the Circle Chamber of Commerce, the Flower City. Everything everyone is looking for is right there!"

"We have to get there as soon as possible, if we let them get there first"

"Do not."

"We don't have to be so anxious."

Chen Jian waved his hand and said:

"Issue orders to Fortification 011 to seal off the fortification and prohibit any outsiders from entering."

"Sorry, that can't be done."

Lingxi's calm voice sounded:
"Fortification No. 011 is an independently operated fortification, managed by the independent Semi-GAI 'Fuxi'."

"Fortification 011 has a higher level of confidentiality and requires physical verification to decrypt. I do not have management authority over Fortification 011, nor can I influence Fuxi's judgment through low-authority remote verification methods."

"But I can coordinate with Fuxi to start the verification process and ensure that you can enter the verification stage smoothly."

Chen Jian had no intention of listening to the last few words.

A word echoed in his mind.

"Fuxi".

There is no doubt that this is the final result of the Fuxi project.

And Semi-GAI?

Semi-general artificial intelligence?
Is it really “half”?

According to the nature of those people, three and a half generations are four generations, four and a half generations are five generations, and five and a half generations are six generations. So the "half" here may also mean "complete form".
Chen Jian let out a breath and asked the last question in his mind:
"You said that your energy and computing power come from Fortification 011. So, where does the energy and computing power of Fortification 011 come from?"

"Fortification No. 011 is equipped with a small tokamak fusion power generator set and two miniature inertial confinement fusion engine sets, which can provide self-sustaining electricity for disaster preparedness facilities within 1 kilometers."

"Currently, due to damage to the transmission network and reduced grid load, the two micro-units have been shut down."

"As for computing power, Fortification 011 is equipped with 12 'Monkey King' 128-bit quantum computers developed by the Institute of Intelligent Machinery. The theoretical computing power is sufficient to support the operation of all artificial intelligence systems, and there is a large amount of redundancy."

".Absolutely."

Chen Jian didn't know what to say.

He originally thought that he had entered a post-apocalyptic world that was not much different from the era he lived in, but had experienced a great catastrophe.

But now it seems that by 2045, humans have already entered the near future in terms of cutting-edge technology.

"How realistic is it to build a 128-bit quantum computer?"

“In terms of feasibility.”

"Wait a minute!"

Chen Jian interrupted the conversation and said:
"Lejie, I'm asking you."

Lei Jie had just recovered from his shock. After a pause, he answered:

"The number of 128 bits is actually not that exaggerated. In our time, the number of quantum bits of Zu Chongzhi-105 could reach ."

"But in fact, the most critical technical difficulty lies not in the number of quantum bits, but in the stability of quantum bits."

“If we can maintain 128 bits of computing power in the long term, it will definitely be enough for computing power.”

"After all, 250 bits are enough to store all the information in the universe. Just think about what 128 bits means."

"Yes, this comrade's understanding of quantum computers is correct."

"Lingxi, shut up first."

Chen Jian waved his hand and gave the order, then said:
"Then the code of the Fuxi project can also be explained."

"Luzhou is a key city for quantum computing. They should play a major role in the Fuxi project related to intelligence."

"I remember they also made a third-generation quantum computer before - what was it called?"

"Goku."

Lei Jie answered casually, and then said:

"In fact, we can directly ask Lingxi what the Fuxi project is. How could it not know?"

Like waking up from a dream.

Chen Jian instantly realized that he had fallen into a strange circle of thinking. He really thought Lingxi was a human being and didn't realize that the other party was actually an enormous database.
"Lingxi, Fuxi Project, codename FX0962045, query project information."

"Sorry, this project is top secret and there is no way to open it."

".There are not many normal people left in this world, why don't you open up the permissions?"

Chen Jian's tone was somewhat helpless, but Lingxi replied calmly as always:

"I am a special-purpose artificial intelligence. I do not have the ability to make strategic decisions or relevant permissions. If you want to obtain the corresponding permissions, you can try after passing Fuxi's verification."

".Reasonable."

Chen Jian paused for a moment, then said:

"But it doesn't make sense." "I can get into 011, is the Fuxi project still important?"

"Forget it - I've rested enough, now let's get down to business."

As he spoke, he stood up and said to the others:
"Prepare to enter the third-floor armory. Lingxi, open the passage."

"The passage has been opened and the elevator has started. Please watch your step."

The ground suddenly began to shake, and the elevator slowly started up with the low sound of gears turning.

Only then did Chen Jian realize that the place where they were eating was actually the floor of the elevator.

Several Holy Bloods approached the center of the elevator a little nervously and subconsciously stood beside Chen Jian and his companions.

Chen Jian noticed their expressions and said to comfort them:

"Relax, it's just an ordinary elevator."

Obviously, this sentence did not have the desired effect.

Ordinary?
To these Holy Bloods who grew up in the wasteland, what does ordinary mean?
Xie Liu and the others were fine, but Ji Xing was already deeply shocked and unable to extricate himself.

Today, she saw for the first time a large-scale machine that could operate automatically and was only recorded in legends.

For the first time, I saw the true "treasure house before the catastrophe" and the incredible facilities in the treasury.

More importantly, she saw for the first time a "machine soul" that could communicate with people and was obviously intelligent.

Isn't this a lie made up by the Mechanicus?
Isn’t this a “god” they artificially created for their so-called “religious beliefs”?

You Chinese soldiers have always told me how ridiculous the Mechanicus is and how hypocritical their teachings are, but now...
Those things that only exist in their doctrines, scriptures and hymns have become true in you?
And, are you not used to this?
How can I relax?
She turned to Zeng Yi who was standing beside her and asked tentatively:
"So, is the '7025' fortification you found in the Han River ruins the same as this one?"

"Do not."

"Different."

Zeng Yi sighed softly, then said:
"If this is what we see there, even if the captain tells me that they are not gods, I will find it hard to believe it."

"Fortunately, there are no such things in Fortification 7025."

"really."

Chen Jian nodded and said:
"The timing is just right, and you guys are just in a position to accept all of this, right?"

".It's still a little unacceptable."

Xie Liuyouyou said:

“I don’t know when I will be able to fully understand everything here.”

"Don't worry, we don't fully understand it either."

Shen Yue opened his mouth to comfort him:

"It's enough to know how to use it. If you really want to understand it, you have to start from the nine-year compulsory education. Now we're there, let's go."

The elevator landed and the lights gradually came on.

The closed door on the third floor of the fortification slowly opened. Chen Jian looked up and saw that in addition to the standardized storage boxes, there were 12 hexagonal bays that were exactly the same as the ones on the large transport plane.

Only this time, the pods were apparently functional.

"Open all the storage boxes."

Chen Jian opened his mouth and gave the order.

"Understood. Open all the storage boxes."

Lingxi's voice fell, the lights on the storage boxes lit up, and the hatches opened one after another.

Of course, not all hatches can be opened smoothly.

No matter how stable the internal environment was, more than three hundred years had caused some mechanical structures to age, and in the end, only two-thirds of the storage boxes had lights on.

Chen Jian walked to the storage box closest to the exit, pushed open the hatch and looked inside, then shook his head and said:

"191 rifle, nothing special."

The second box on the side contains ammunition, which is in good condition and can be used immediately.

The dozen or so storage boxes near the exit are basically filled with individual weapons and equipment, including various types of rifles, light machine guns, rocket launchers, mortars, etc.

Slightly different are a few so-called "bolt guns".

To be precise, according to Lingxi's introduction, it is a "15mm micro grenade launcher", which belongs to platoon-level support firepower.

You say this thing is very useful, but actually it is not.

Its armor-piercing ability is not as good as that of the 12.7mm caliber bullet, and its lethality is not as good as that of the sniper grenade. It is a weapon with a rather awkward positioning on the battlefield.

However, the fact that it appears here certainly shows that it has value in existence.

It’s just that Chen Jian’s team is not very useful for the time being.

After closing the lid, Chen Jian couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

But when they walked deeper into the armory and opened the weapons in the second formation, the situation suddenly changed.

"Holy shit."

Lei Jie exclaimed, and then said:
"Swarm drones—suicide drones!"

"Damn it, robot dog!"

"Damn, a two-legged wheeled combat robot!"

"Fuck, cruise missiles?!"

"Damn, 107 Fire--wait a minute, how can this bastard sit at this table?"

"This is not an old version of the 107mm caliber rocket. What you see is a 107mm precision-guided rocket with a maximum range of 17500 meters. It is filled with a new type of all-nitrogen anion salt explosive, which can...

"Okay."

Chen Jian interrupted Lingxi's introduction and then said:

"I feel that there is no need to send the electromagnetic cannon that Huang Yu got. We already have enough weapons here."

"The electromagnetic gun is in the left bay and has been deployed for you."

Lingxi's voice fell, and the three hexagonal pods on the left unfolded.

"This is a Type 39 105mm caliber electromagnetic gun, which is stored in three main parts. The range is..."

"Don't introduce it yet, let me finish reading it."

Chen Jian interrupted again, and then said:
"Open all the hatches."

"Understood. Open all the hatches."

All the hatches were opened neatly, and Chen Jian's reaction was exactly the same as Lei Jie's before.

"Fuck. Drone."

"Fuck. 152 grenades."

"Fuck. What generation of warriors is this?"

"Wait a minute!"

Chen Jian keenly noticed the unusual place in this underground arsenal. Then, he pointed to another isolation door in front and said:

"What's behind that??"

"It's turned on for you."

The isolation door slowly opened.

Chen Jian walked forward in fascination, while Zeng Yi couldn't help but shout out:

"Is this a mecha?"

"Is this a mecha?"
