To the north of Yandu, a group army training base, and a venue similar to a large hangar, a fully enclosed power armor stopped and bounced along the spine with the armor on its limbs, revealing the human body and skeleton inside, and the sensing belts tied to the limbs and neck can be seen.
The engineer stepped forward to help take off the helmet, unbuttoned the sensing belt, and the follower helped the person inside to get off the armor. He turned out to be a fat old man.
"I have made a lot of adjustments to my body shape," the old man laughed, stretched his arms and kicked his legs, looking unsatisfied.
"This is a good thing! Saudi Arabia praised it all the time, and they relied on this to attack the Houthi armed forces from the border." The old man kept watching around the armor.
"When will our troops be equipped?" he asked casually.
"The Saudi model is tailored for them, and we are still doing further research here," an army general explained, and gave a wink at Jiang Yaohua, who was accompanying him.
Jiang Yaohua continued: "The main reason is that it is too expensive. One model in Saudi Arabia costs nine million. Chairman, this one is the third-generation improved model, and the current cost is 14 million."
"Four million!? Be good, I'll take a tank!" The old man did not hide his surprise.
"We are promoting domestic research institutes to participate in this project and continue to reduce costs," Jiang Yaohua quickly explained: "It is expected that in three years, the cost can be controlled to five million, and the performance will be greatly improved. At that time, the conditions will be met to become active equipment."
The old man shook his head and said, "Three years is too long, and the Saudis are easy to use. It stimulated the Americans and they chased them quickly. Within two years, if the cost can drop significantly, you should consider a small batch of trials."
"Now we are starting to form a built-in power armored force," Jiang Yaohua looked at Shang Weidong around him and added: "We have such cooperation with the development unit. Small-scale troops will have practical combat capabilities at the end of the year."
The old man praised: "Yes, you should pay so much attention, your steps are not slow."
He asked again: "The Saudis told me that this thing is a product of Charia Heavy Industry. I heard that it is a private enterprise and other domestic research institutes participated. What is the way?"
Hearing that it was a secondary technical authorization, the old man nodded: "This is the right thing to do, we must act according to market laws. In addition to the core areas that are related to the lifeline of national defense, we encourage private enterprises to participate in other areas. This is our general policy. The army must open its mind, and you have done a good job in this project!"
The old man made a brief speech here: "You see, the military has done a good job in opening up mechanized equipment. The military has more options for better performance and lower cost in carrying vehicles and even armored vehicles. At the same time, it has also allowed a group of companies to grow and go abroad. The opening up of the aerospace field is also being promoted, and our Mars exploration plan can be successful. The participation of a large number of private enterprises is indelible."
"The country is rich now, but its technology is developing faster and faster. More and more. You see, such a small power armor costs tens of millions, and the country's money is limited, and it is impossible to support all units related to military industry. This requires the mobilization of the power of society and the power of the people."
"In peacetime, let private enterprises promote technology and applications in secondary fields and support the army with the people. We must learn the good experiences of other countries in this regard."
A circle of generals and officials around him listened quietly with breath and nodded occasionally.
Afterwards, the old man entered the conference room and there were fewer people accompanying him. Most of the remaining ones were wearing military uniforms, and those who were wearing camouflage uniforms without collars and badges were also officials related to technology.
Jiang Yaohua reported on other equipment research projects. When he heard about artificial intelligence, the old man said: "The International Artificial Intelligence Conference gave us Chinese scientists yesterday, commending them for their research on general neuron chips. What does our army think of this thing?"
Jiang Yaohua gave Shang Weidong another wink. Shang Weidong took a board similar to a blade server handed over by his subordinates and put it on the table.
"The chairman, the award-winning institute, is the major shareholder of Xiaya Heavy Industry. Their neuron chips were handed over to us for testing a month ago. We are going to use them in the wargame deduction system first."
The old man looked at the board carefully and saw four chips similar to large button batteries in the middle, which looked like the latest neuronal chip.
The old man asked: "Isn't this a general product? Everyone can use it. The army uses this. How to solve the confidentiality problem?"
Shang Weidong explained: "The hardware architecture of this chip is indeed public, but the degree of programming freedom is very high. Even the instruction set can be edited freely, so we can easily make a completely closed thing."
Jiang Yaohua added: "The power armor just now also has this chip, and the instruction set and programming language used are another set."
The old man was quite curious: "Well, can it be understood that this is just a building block. We can pile it up as needed, and others can't crack it?"
Jiang Yaohua and Zhou Weimin nodded at the same time. This metaphor is actually not appropriate enough. The hardware architecture of the Terminator Neuron chip is just a piece of blank paper. No matter how you draw it, as long as you use a closed instruction set, it is basically impossible to reverse it.
"So, we can soon use artificial intelligence in wargame deductions," the old man sighed: "Artificial intelligence, for our country, this technology is a challenge. We have the advantage of latecomer. If we manage well and use well, we will go up immediately. If we do not manage well and use well, we will become the front wave on the beach."
Shang Weidong said seemingly unintentionally: "We in China are already ahead in software and hardware and concepts. Even if we don't focus on supporting it, we just have normal supervision to allow private forces to develop actively and independently, and we can be ahead."
"Just keep in mind, the greatest support," the old man looked at the officials related to technology and said meaningfully: "The United States has ibm and Intel, Google and many high-tech companies. If they add up, they are both working hard on software and hardware. It is not difficult to catch up with us. Although we also have high-tech companies such as Chrysanthemum, Inspur and Uniscope, in terms of artificial intelligence, not only are there not enough leading companies, but many companies that are only pursuing money are still dragging their feet."
"I think the relevant ministries and commissions should pay attention to this aspect. The technology of artificial intelligence has a great impact. It must be positive, professional, cautious and careful when dealing with it!"
An old man raised his glasses and said, "Chairman, I suggest that the policies and regulations related to artificial intelligence be included in the framework of the Central Information Working Group."
"Yes, yes," the old man nodded.
In an office of the Information Industry Committee, more than a dozen people were talking, and there were images of more than a dozen people on the curtain. It showed that this was an important meeting across the region.
Deputy Director Liang, who presided over the meeting, said: "If you have any opinions, please raise them. This is just a revelation, not a formal meeting. I hope everyone can speak freely!"
On the screen, an old man finally made a statement: "This draft is too targeted, and I think many places need to be adjusted."
An official at the scene said: "Professor Li, your statement is inappropriate. It accounts for 90% of the domestic artificial intelligence market. There are also hundreds of artificial intelligence experts who have proposed the draft, which is enough to represent the consensus in this field. How is this called targeting?"
Another official pointed out directly: "Does he mean that Xia Ming research institute? They are not formally organized by Yan University, and they are doing cutting-edge scientific research, so they have nothing to do with the market."
An expert at the scene was even more direct: "Old Li, the cicada and illusion are indeed engaged in artificial intelligence, but they are following the evil path! What did Xia Ming say? He said that he wanted to stop the country from invading personal will! This is an infinite liberalization tendency! This is anarchism! Are you not afraid of being regarded by others as being the endorsement of Cicada and helping Xia Ming stand out?"
An official at the scene shrugged and said, "The world is really a world of demons. People like Xia Ming openly shouted against the government, but they didn't arrest him..."
A thin middle-aged expert on the screen said indignantly: "You are talking nonsense! Xia Ming is saying that everyone is self-reliant and self-reliant and opposes malicious infringement! Do you think of the country as fascists?
"Xia Ming and the others have made neuronal chips. They have won the prize at the International Artificial Intelligence Conference. They are not allowed to participate in the draft discussion. They are not afraid of jokes from all over the world!?"
The official who spoke directly sneered: "The world is laughing at? Which world? I only know the party's world."
He pointed to the officials on the scene and said, "Isn't this the case?"
"Who doesn't know you are talking to Qianxun? A person like you is a shame to the party!" The expert was so angry that he gasped.
"Okay! Why do you say these inexplicable things??" Deputy Director Liang stopped talking, glared at the official, and said leisurely: "What award does foreigners give? What does it have to do with us? Our China has its own national conditions."
While speaking, he winked at the secretary beside him. The secretary clicked the mouse. On the screen of the laptop, Professor Li and a person named Liu were all crossed out.
"Then..." Deputy Director Liang was about to make a conclusion when another window popped up on the screen.
"Yo, Hao Ministry!" Deputy Director Liang was quite surprised. The old man wearing glasses in the window was the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and also served as the director of the committee. But this was only a concurrent position. The executive work was chaired by Deputy Director Liang, so they were all called ministers.
Minister Hao asked directly: "Are you discussing the draft of the AI market specifications? Why haven't I received it before?"
Deputy Director Liang said calmly: "It's only the ventilation link, so I'm not bothering you..."
"Who asked?" Minister Hao ignored the details and went straight to the point.
The staff sent the draft to Minister Hao. He turned directly to the part of the proposer, glanced at it and asked: "Why are there no people from the Xu Artificial Intelligence Institute? There are no cicada movements or illusions?"
"That's right," Deputy Director Liang repeated the original reason.
"You..." Minister Hao's face twisted: "You are not afraid that everyone on earth will make fun of it!? Those who won the Nobel Prize in Artificial Intelligence were actually excluded from the discussion of artificial intelligence regulations by you!?"
He chuckled again: "This is as ridiculous as a tiger in the forest is not here for the time being, and a group of monkeys discussing how to divide the territory!"
"Hao Bu...what do you say this?" Deputy Director Liang's face suddenly turned red and he asked gritted his teeth.
Minister Hao finally broke out: "Don't you know that the concept of ai has been overturned! Now it's ei! It's the concept proposed by Xia Ming and his research institute, and all people in the academic community agree! From now on, the artificial intelligence that everyone talks about is extended intelligence! This is a brand new thing, and all the bits and pieces that are being tricked in China must obey this thing!"
"You are also technical officials. Are you no longer sensitive to technology now? You have developed such a regulation, just like mobile phone technology is mature, and you are still discussing how to control pagers! How to let several pager companies monopolize the communication market! This is not only a shame for China, but also a drag on the country's back! Let Europe, America and Japan run ahead, so you are not afraid of becoming history - sinners!?"
Minister Hao, who has always been as bright as the other side, seemed to have eaten explosives, and all the people were scolded to lower their heads.
The official who was talking to the expert about who was the world was just now couldn't help but whisper: "We know that we just mentioned the three laws of ei, told stories, and copied the three laws of robots in science fiction novels. What's the point?"
Although the voice was low, Minister Hao heard it. He sneered: "Telling stories? In the past, foreigners came to us to tell stories. Didn't you stick with your face? Now we Chinese told foreigners a story and asked them to stick with their faces, but you sarcastically!"
His next sentence made the people in the conference room red and white: "Ask yourself, who do you mean to sit here?"
Minister Hao's last words completely shattered the spirits of these people: "From now on, you don't have to worry about matters related to artificial intelligence, and the central group will be directly responsible! If this draft can still be on my desk, I will see who ignores discipline and rules!"
Minister Hao's window disappeared, and the conference room was silent. After a long time, on the screen, the expert named Liu laughed and said, "You guys like you will be replaced by artificial intelligence in the future! They are not only professional, but also clearly who they are talking to!"
