Our great nation of China traverses the multiverse.

A video conference is underway.

Military representative Zuo You stood in his seat with a serious expression.

Before him stood representatives of the three armed forces, the head of Project 237, and various key figures within the project.

Their expressions were also serious at this moment.

In particular, the representatives from the Academy of Military Sciences and the Science Committee of Project 237 had disheveled hair and bloodshot eyes. If you looked closely at their backs, you would find that they were still in the laboratory.

"Our spacecraft is now facing a very serious problem, and with the introduction of artificial intelligence, this problem can no longer be ignored!"

Zuo You supported himself on the podium with his left hand, clenched his right fist and swung it, his voice strong and clear:

"The crew members can no longer keep up with the pace of the artificial intelligence's reactions."

"The methods used by Earth-era navies to control spaceships are no longer entirely suitable."

"We must make adaptive changes!"

After he finished speaking, everyone present began to look through the materials he had sent.

Old Zhu glanced at it and spoke first:

"General Zuo, I have read the virtual training exercise report you provided, and this problem does indeed need to be solved urgently."

"During the 567th exercise, in the face of the enemy's planet-destroying neutron beam, the artificial intelligence of Ship No. 6 suggested using the ship's hull to block the attack and deflect the angle of the attack to avoid the fate of destroying the home planet."

"The entire crew was prepared for the operation, but due to the suddenness of the attack, according to the ship's command hierarchy regulations, this order could only be given by the captain."

"It was precisely because of this fraction of a second in the transmission of the command that Ship No. 6 missed the opportunity to make this move."

"Furthermore, during the 602nd exercise, the No. 9 ship was destroyed because of a fraction of a second delay in the transmission of artificial intelligence and the captain's instructions when it was evading enemy attacks."

"..."

Old Zhu briefly recounted the contents of the document, glanced around the room, and continued:

"There are many more such cases, but I won't repeat them."

"but!"

His tone shifted, becoming serious and unwavering:

"That fraction of a second actually determined the course of the war!"

"I absolutely will not allow our fleet, the fleet that we will face in the future when we face interstellar wars, fleets that are willing to fight to the death and annihilate stars and races, to have such a huge hidden danger!"

"The 567th exercise showed us the brave warriors on Ship No. 6 who dared to sacrifice themselves to protect their home planet!"

"But it also sent chills down my spine. What if it wasn't a drill?"

"The safety of our soldiers, our home planet, our motherland, and countless compatriots!"

"Oh!"

After saying that, Old Zhu slammed his hand on the table, his face turning serious and stern:

"The problem of delay in matching artificial intelligence with human instructions must be solved."

"Furthermore, the policy that the captain's authority on the three-person command platform is greater than that of manual command is not to be changed in the slightest!"

After Mr. Zhu finished speaking, the Space Force representatives at the meeting nodded.

That makes sense; that's exactly what they wanted to say.

After he finished speaking, everyone's attention immediately turned to the representatives of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Science Committee of the 237 Program.

Sensing the seriousness of their gazes, the two representatives coughed lightly, then nodded vigorously, saying wearily:

"After General Zuo's report was sent out, we immediately began discussions. We will definitely resolve this issue!"

"That's right, if we go all out, we can definitely solve this problem!"

……

The problem this space fleet is facing is unprecedented.

Even the engineers of the oldest civilizations in the universe have no information to refer to.

The engineer may have encountered this problem before and solved it well.

But tens of thousands of years have passed since the engineers dominated the Milky Way.

For tens of thousands of years, they have been bullying "younger friends" and fighting asymmetric wars. Their military technology has long since gone astray!

Yes, it's crooked.

Prolonged asymmetric warfare can lead to the distorted growth of armed forces.

Just like the United States in this universe, after several Middle East wars, the asymmetric naval warfare has been going on for a long time, which has actually given birth to a deformed child like Zumwalt who "moved from the sea to the land".

Originally, this ship was quite adept at asymmetric naval warfare.

In other words, it's incredibly satisfying to bully other countries that lack equivalent naval defenses.

but,

With the rise of the naval power of the major Eastern power.

This weapon, designed for asymmetric warfare, immediately revealed its true nature.

Because, in symmetrical warfare, it simply has no fertile ground to survive.

As a result, the United States could only turn around in disgrace and watch as the major Eastern power developed the epoch-making Type 055 destroyer, and silently began to design a warship of equal value.

The United States has only been dominating the world's oceans for a few decades, and it has already become like this.

The engineers have been traversing the Milky Way for tens of thousands of years!

Tens of thousands of years!

Since becoming the dominant civilization, he has only ever bullied others.

They're all fighting asymmetric wars!

So when this universe asks how to solve the problem of time delay between artificial intelligence and command personnel on ships...

Horus was completely bewildered.

No, is that even a problem?

Does this problem need to be solved?

Please, when we fight the enemy, we always do this: if we can rush in and use the black water, we rush in; if we can't rush in, we use ranged energy weapons to bombard them, and then rush in.

What, you're even considering command and coordination issues now?

"Okay!"

Mr. Zhu pretended not to ask.

Yes, engineers don't need to consider this issue.

That's because any civilization in the Milky Way that could threaten you was wiped out by you during your "glorious era."

The alien world and the Milky Way are just a handful of things now, why would you need to worry about this?

But this universe is different!

Who knows, in that parallel universe, we suddenly encountered an enemy of equal or even greater strength.

Humanity must consider this issue!

"Professor Zhu, perhaps we can use neural connection technology."

The experts from Project 237 pondered for a moment, then suddenly made a suggestion.

"The fleet commander was immersed in the solution and used neural connection technology to sense the entire ship."

"In this way, he will be able to achieve zero latency with artificial intelligence!"

"This plan is excellent!"

The military personnel nodded vigorously.

"However, it is good, but if we adopt this technology, our original intention to prevent problems with artificial intelligence will be changed."

The scholars in the computing group frowned deeply.

"If the artificial intelligence malfunctions, it can directly control the captain."

"This risk is too great."

"We can set permissions!"

"That's not appropriate. Artificial intelligence not only has the potential for internal problems, but it could also be directly controlled by a powerful enemy, just like we controlled Malte's transport ship. If it's a synesthesia issue, and the artificial intelligence malfunctions, the risk is too great!"

"This……"

The transport ship that Malte brought was directly controlled by artificial intelligence, and as a result, the other party only realized it when they were captured.

I was completely fooled the whole time!

The research team is now in a dilemma.

We must both utilize artificial intelligence and guard against it.

At the same time, there are also zero-delay command issuances.
