Blue star road

In the classroom on the top floor of an independent teaching building at Longcheng Military Academy, there were twenty students of different ages sitting. The oldest one looked to be middle-aged, and the youngest one, such as Wang Yao, was about eighteen years old.

But each of these twenty people has a unique temperament, either unruly or restrained and calm.

The whole classroom was quiet, no one was talking to each other.

But if you look closely, you can see that these twenty students are more or less observing each other.

At this moment, the classroom door was pushed open.

Wang Suo walked in with his textbook.

"Hello everyone, let me introduce myself. My name is Wang Suo. I am one of your theoretical instructors in the mecha discipline. Your instructors will be divided into theoretical instructors and practical instructors. There will be a total of four theoretical instructors who will teach you different subjects. According to the standard, there will be three practical instructors. One of them is to train your body, one is to teach you mechanical operation, and the last one is to teach you tactics. You should also know very well that the discipline of mecha is newly established, so there is no ready-made one. The instructors, including me, are all new to it. All I can do is teach you the lessons of the study group and lead you into this subject." Wang Suo faced the twenty elite students in the audience. said.

In fact, after finishing speaking, Wang Suo felt a little melancholy in his heart!

"Hello, teacher!" Everyone replied respectfully to Wang Suo.

Wang Suo nodded and said: "Now we are going to start class, but before class, I want to emphasize one thing. The knowledge you learn here is confidential, and any leakage is strictly prohibited, otherwise you should be very clear about the consequences."

"clear!"

Then Wang Suo turned on the imaging equipment, and the initial model of a mecha without any weapons appeared.

"This is the model of the 1.0 version of the mecha. From a structural point of view, it is very similar to a human being. Its initial idea originated around the year 2000, and then it was initially established in the year 2800 to solve a series of problems, and it was truly finalized in In the year 3002, there was a famous..."

Wang Suo carefully introduced the origin of the mecha and its basic performance.

At this moment, a student with unruly eyes stretched out his hand to interrupt Wang Suo's teaching.

"Sun Murong, do you have any questions?" Wang Suo asked. Although this was their first meeting, Wang Suo had already seen all the students' information.

"I have some questions that I want to get answered before the official start of this subject. I don't want to hide them. I think these questions are harsh, but they are inevitable questions. I don't know if I can ask my mentor. "Sun Murong seemed to be asking for opinions, but he was very forceful.

"The academic aspect itself requires exploration and confusion. Just ask." Wang Suo nodded and replied.

"Instructor, based on the parameters and performance you just gave me, mechas are completely incomparable to fighter jets in terms of flight speed, and their ability to withstand strikes is only average. Sometimes they even lose combat effectiveness due to damage to their parts. I don't understand why. Restarting this technology, although the competition in this discipline seems to be fierce, it seems to be useless in my eyes. "

"You're right. If you just talk about speed, mechas are definitely not as good as fighter jets. If you just talk about firepower, they're not as good as heavy weapons. Just in terms of anti-attack ability, they're quite satisfactory. But you forgot one thing. Mechas are the biggest. The advantage lies in its versatility and applicability! Let me give you the simplest analogy. If you want to attack a city in an occupied area, do you send a heavy tank there? Or a single unit of infantry? There is no way to complete various combat missions, but the mecha is different. Under the control of an excellent pilot, it is possible to complete it alone in the occupied area, and its role is not just as simple as fighting, it even It can be used for a series of tasks such as surveying, transportation, plundering, etc. It only needs to be equipped with the corresponding equipment. Just like if you find some high-value things in an occupied area, you don’t need a transport vehicle and other equipment, just rely on the mecha. Take it away directly! And during space operations, it can perform complex operations. Is this something that a fighter jet can do?" Wang Suo retorted.

Sun Murong was immediately confused by the rebuttal and didn't know how to answer.

Wang Suo continued: "Don't just look at everything. It is true that mechas are not as good as other types of soldiers in terms of pure performance, but taken together they are different. In a sense, it is the jumping version of exoskeleton armor! It is human. Expanded version! This is why we humans are not the strongest creatures in nature, but we can become dominant. The reason is the same, because we are omnipotent!” (Note: omnipotent here means multi-potent, not Invincible and omnipotent! Don’t get me wrong!)

"Yes, but if that's the case, we might as well develop robots?" Sun Murong replied with some dissatisfaction.

"You are right. Robots are indeed good things. They can replace us in doing many things. Even intelligent robots can replace us in doing more than 90% of the things we do. But have you ever thought that everything has two sides? Let’s not talk about the fact that this aspect has been banned. I will simply talk about its value and role. You know the benefits of the existence of robots to us best, so I won’t say more. There is so much value it can create. I just Let’s talk about the most trivial hidden influence and give the most realistic example.”

"Before the civilizational fault line, our technology reached its peak. Artificial intelligence was widely popularized, and robots were also popularized in large numbers. A large number of jobs were replaced by intelligent machines and robots. A large number of laborers were unemployed and had nothing to do. Everyone became lazy, causing Not to mention their social impact, even the most basic agriculture is completed through integration. And when the civilizational disaster broke out, you know we found that many people had forgotten how to grow food. During that turmoil In the past few years, the world's population has shrunk by three-quarters! Half of them starved to death! A seemingly harmless technology can actually affect us in a subtle way, which is one of the reasons for banning robots. ”

"Since what you said is so good, why did you ban the mecha in the first place?" Sun Murong asked in confusion.

"This involves the technical level. There are so many versions of mechas from version 1.0 to version 2.0. When mechas were first born, mechas were very useless because they were too difficult to operate and their dexterity was too poor. They were once considered useless. When used as an auxiliary unit, there has been a qualitative leap since version 1.5, because the virtual intelligence system can assist neural connections, complete neural synchronization between mechas and humans, and allow mechas to completely become part of the human body, thus greatly improving flexibility. , and before version 1.5, all mechas relied on manual operation and auxiliary systems! It was precisely because of the hidden dangers of the virtual intelligent system that the mechas had problems, so the mechas were banned," Wang Suo explained.
