Warship of Great Power

The so-called mining is completely meaningless. They originally thought that the Orientals just wanted to solve the problem of hardware overcapacity. Unexpectedly, the Orientals have a bigger plan.

When more and more computer hardware is needed for mining, it will definitely squeeze the game market. However, the scale of the game market is not large, so it doesn’t matter if it is squeezed. No one will care about the feelings of game players.

However, on the other hand, when mining occupies a large amount of computer hardware, the hardware needed to develop artificial intelligence will also decrease, or in other words, the purchase price will rise to a terrible figure, which will discourage many artificial intelligence research companies.

Without advanced hardware, there will be no sufficient computing power, and it will be impossible to complete the research and development of artificial intelligence!

In this field, they will also be pulled apart, far apart. Although they have laid out earlier, they have no way to get the upper hand because they don’t have the right hardware!

Piero’s expression is extremely complicated. He doesn’t know when the employees left, and he doesn’t know the time. It seems that he has been out of touch with this world. I don’t know when he walked onto the rooftop, facing the whistling cold wind, with despair in his eyes.

It’s time for nightlife. There are more people and cars below.

When several people passed by, suddenly, with a bang, something fell heavily to the ground, and someone screamed. A few minutes later, before the ambulance and police car arrived, reporters arrived first and kept pressing the shutter button on the person lying in a pool of blood.

The next day, all newspapers published this explosive news.

Piero Scaruffi, the head of the Silicon Valley Artificial Intelligence Research Institute, the author of the science and technology history masterpieces "Silicon Valley Centennial History" and "Technology and Peace", and the spiritual evangelist of Silicon Valley, jumped from the roof of the Silicon Valley Artificial Intelligence Research Institute and committed suicide!

There is no consensus among various newspapers on why he committed suicide. Some said it was because of emotional problems, and some said it was because the research and development project was not going smoothly. Only a third-rate tabloid made a bold guess: despair.

Piero was an idealistic person. He always believed that his research represented the future of mankind. However, one day, he suddenly found that the field he was studying was surpassed by others, far behind, and he could not catch up. He could not bear this stimulation, so he committed suicide.

In any case, Piero is dead. Silicon Valley has lost a spiritual preacher and a master of artificial intelligence research. This is a huge loss for Silicon Valley.

Dongfang.

"This guy's psychological endurance is too poor, right? Just seeing that our artificial intelligence can write novels, he became afraid and desperate, and even committed suicide?" Holding such a report, Qin Tao couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that people who have been smooth sailing since childhood cannot accept setbacks when they grow up! If he had come through adversity like me, he would definitely not."

"Yes, the idea that those people have accepted since childhood is that they are the most advanced and they are leading the world. Now they suddenly find that these are all nonsense, and their beliefs begin to shatter. This is also normal." Xu Zhengyang said: "However, it is better for him to leave like this, so as to avoid greater stimulation in the future . "

"More stimulation?"

"Yes, our future city plan has just started construction, but we have built a virtual city in the computer, which everyone can enter and visit." Xu Zhengyang said: "This virtual city also uses a lot of artificial intelligence. If he goes in and sees our technological development, he will definitely not be able to bear the stimulation."

Artificial intelligence is not a single thing. It can be used to write novels, synthesize photos and videos, and can also be integrated with other technologies, such as biotechnology, virtual reality, financial technology, etc. It will take a long time for Mingzhou Group to build a future city, so it is better to build a virtual one on the Internet first.

"No, if he goes in, maybe he will be happy to be in it, indulge in it, and don't want to come out?" Qin Tao said: "After this virtual city is built, I will also attend the press conference."

"Okay, Mr. Qin, I will arrange the itinerary for you. Now, let's go to the launching ceremony of the Xinhai dredger."

"Yes."

The slipway is very lively. A rostrum is set up next to the huge dredger. Countless reporters have prepared their guns and cannons. Director Wang stands there, extremely excited.

"Boss Qin, you are finally here. Our Xinhai is about to be launched. We are waiting for you to perform the bottle throwing ceremony." Director Wang greeted him with a smile.

"Isn't the bottle throwing ceremony in charge of ladies?" Qin Tao glanced at the people who were already on the rostrum and looked at the faces of several women: "Ladies, come on."

"Boss Qin, they are not strong enough..."

"It has long been the way to press the button. Come on, ladies, it's your turn to perform!"

Several ladies were very excited and stood up together and went to the button.

"Today is the launching ceremony of our Xinhai. At this grand moment, I want to thank..." Qin Tao said a few polite words, and then the bottle throwing ceremony began. As the red wine smashed on the bow, countless people applauded and cheered. In the eyes of everyone, Xinhai slowly entered the water backwards.

Water splashed and colorful flags fluttered.

After the launching ceremony, a group of people came to the restaurant in the Mingzhou Group Guesthouse to continue celebrating.

"Mr. Qin, we are very satisfied with your exquisite construction technology. We hope that we will have more cooperation opportunities in the future." The lady who participated in pressing the button raised her wine glass and said to Qin Tao.

"Of course, but the demand for this kind of super dredger shouldn't be very big, right?"

"Yes, there will not be too many dredgers of this level, but there are other ships, such as marine rights enforcement ships, and we have a big gap."

"Didn't the Navy retire a group and eliminate them?" Qin Tao was a little curious.

"Yes, we have been given a batch, but it is still very few. According to international standards, there should be one public law enforcement ship for every 100 square kilometers of sea area. However, in our country, it is difficult to even have one law enforcement ship for every 1,000 square kilometers. . Looking at the island country opposite, their sea area is not large, but they have more than 100 marine law enforcement ships, including dozens of large ships of more than 3,000 tons. "

Over the years, the Navy has been upgrading its fleet very quickly, and some old warships have been given to the Coast Guard. However, in terms of quantity and quality, there is still a big gap with the world's advanced level.

The old Type 051 is really no longer operational. It can only be eliminated after retirement. The only ones that can continue to be used are the retired frigates of the Navy. They have a displacement of more than 1,000 tons, and the quantity is not very large. The quality cannot be said. .

Therefore, there is still a huge gap in marine rights protection and law enforcement ships.

"This is easy to say. Since our department has needs, we can leave it to our Mingzhou Group to build it. You tell us your needs and we will design it now."

"Okay, we believe that the displacement must reach at least three thousand tons. The maximum speed must reach about 25 knots."

There is no need to pursue a speed of 30 knots for this kind of law enforcement ship. After all, they usually inspect some ordinary fishing boats and cargo ships. The speed of these ships is more than ten knots. It is more than enough for our own ships to run to 25 knots. If we deal with For those high-speed speedboats, 30 knots is not enough. After all, the opponent can reach forty or fifty knots and there is no way they can catch up.

"Okay, that's no problem. Just install two of our own diesel engines, which are fuel-efficient and durable." Qin Tao nodded: "Do I need to carry a helicopter?"

If it exceeds 25 knots, a gas turbine must be installed. Not only does the construction price go up, but the price for daily use also goes up. After all, it will burn a lot more oil. Now only using a diesel engine is the most suitable choice.

For those fast-moving ships, if you want to catch up, you can only rely on helicopters.

"Mr. Qin, we would like to match it, but the operating cost is too high!"

Ship-based helicopters are not cheap. Procurement, daily maintenance, pilot training, etc. are all very expensive, and these law enforcement agencies cannot afford them. Even if they wanted to, they don't have the ability.

"Then we can only use drones." Qin Tao continued to arrange: "Using drones to patrol is the simplest and most reliable way, easy to operate and low cost."

"Yes, it's a drone." The other party was very excited.

"At the same time, the new generation of ships must have an intelligent operating system." Qin Tao continued to help the other party arrange: "For example, the daily cruise of the ship can be automated and can follow the appropriate route without human intervention. While patrolling, a satellite navigation system must be installed, and the ship must be equipped with advanced optoelectronic equipment for evidence collection, especially during law enforcement, where the entire process must be videotaped.”

The times are developing and technology is advancing. With various electronic equipment installed, this kind of ship will become taller and taller. It needs ship intelligence system, intelligence command system, remote communication management system, etc. No matter what task it is performed, it is to knock on the ship. Just a few keystrokes and a few clicks of the mouse.

"That's right, Mr. Qin, your analysis makes sense! Keep talking."

"The next step is the law enforcement equipment on the ship." Qin Tao said: "Our group has advanced high-pressure water spray equipment, which can be used as the main equipment."

Water cannons are used for firefighting, but they can also be used by law enforcement departments. They can achieve good results, and they are not easy to misfire. Even if we encounter a confrontation in the future, as long as our range is long, With strong impact, you can defeat your opponent.

Mingzhou Group is also very strong in the research and development of this kind of equipment. After all, it produced this kind of equipment when it first emerged.

With this exchange, the overall design of the entire ship became increasingly clear.

Everyone present was very excited.

"Mr. Qin, this design will be handed over to you. Please design it as soon as possible. After completing the design, hand it over to us for review. As long as there are no problems, we will place an order for batch construction. The first batch will be ten ships, and we will build more later. Will continue to place additional orders!”

Ten ships are not many, so make a batch first and try it out, and then continue building later!

"Okay, no problem. If we have ten ships, we can build them on an assembly line and the construction cost can be reduced."

Another project has been decided! Although the overall amount is not large, Qin Tao is very enthusiastic because he knows that these ships will play a huge role next!

This is also because the country has become stronger, so it can order so much advanced equipment. Otherwise, the navy will not be able to use it, let alone maritime rights protection and law enforcement ships.

Yang Dawei was also very cooperative. After receiving the task, he immediately convened the backbone of the design department to start the design, and the drawings were successfully produced within a week.

"A ship like ours is 116.4 meters long, 15 meters wide, and has a draft of 5.9 meters..."

Looking at Yang Dawei's design, Qin Tao had a sense of déjà vu. It looked very similar to our 054 hull. Just a slight change and it was brought out. You guys are too fooling, right?

However, the overall design plan is still very mature, and it was quickly approved, and then construction began.

This is the speed of the East!

In contrast, no matter what the West does, it is slow.

France.

"How did the Orientals make these parts? Much better than our own!"

"Yes, it's hard to believe that more than a decade ago, they were far behind us!"

"Okay, no need to sigh, since we have got these equipment, let's get started, the navy is waiting." Mesag said: "We need to build a proportional catapult first..."

No catapult research and development company can move the catapult to the deck of an aircraft carrier right away. It must be tested on the ground first. However, generally speaking, a scaled model should be made first, and then a proportional model should be made after verification. There are still very few people who directly use a proportional catapult like the French now.

This also shows that the French are really anxious. They only have one, 40,000 tons, which is not even comparable to the British. They can no longer cope with the external situation. They must develop a larger aircraft carrier. They need an electromagnetic catapult!

If the United States has a mature electromagnetic catapult, then use the American one, even if it is more expensive. After all, it is too wasteful to develop a catapult for an aircraft carrier, but the American one is not mature now, so they can only use Eastern technology.

The technologies they have are all from the East, and they must be mature!

The French firmly believe in this, and they can't delay time. They have to make this catapult quickly.

"Okay, we... Hey, it's time, we should get off work!"

"Let's go out for a few drinks. I met a beautiful girl in the bar these days. Something must happen to her tonight!"

Hula la... a group of people left! A group of people left the R\u0026D room, and finally only Mesag was left. He spread his hands helplessly. Okay, I'll get off work too!

Mesag returned home, turned on the computer, and was attracted by the latest news.

Mingzhou Group's future city has been built and can be accessed through the Internet, but a VR glasses is needed to have a real experience. As a game fan, Mesag just bought the latest VR glasses last month, produced by Dongfang.

When he put on the glasses and entered the system, a city that looked like a Nordic town appeared in front of Mesag. There was no noise, it was very quiet, there were no high-rise buildings, and most of the buildings were very low. If you look down, half of the city is park, and the whole city seems to be built in the park.

It's so beautiful!

"Hello, is this your first time here?" At this moment, a girl's voice sounded beside him.

Mesag looked over and saw a beautiful oriental girl wearing a Hanfu, gentle and generous. Just one look made Mesag feel a heartbeat.

Calm, calm, this is in the virtual world, or it can be said that this is a game. The one sitting in front of the computer across the network cable may not be so beautiful, maybe ugly, or even, maybe it's just a dog sitting there.

Mesag cannot be emotional. He must distinguish between the virtual world and the real world.

"Yes, this is my first time here."

"Let me introduce it to you. You can walk with me. The central axis of our entire city is a greenway park. We call it the Ecological Valley. Here under your feet is the starting point of the Ecological Valley."

"Okay." Mesag followed the girl forward, surrounded by green trees, small bridges and flowing water, and various sculptures. After walking for a while, he arrived at the intersection in front.

"There is an intelligent traffic light system at the intersection. When pedestrians stand here, the traffic lights will automatically change."

The traffic light system is intelligent. When there is no one, the green light will be on all the way to let the traffic go. If someone passes by, it will automatically change after sensing.

"What if there are always pedestrians?"

"The intelligent detection system will monitor nearby pedestrians, calculate the time when pedestrians come, and will pass together after accumulating a few pedestrians. Not only the changes in traffic lights, but also the time are all intelligent."

Mesag nodded. This should be the most scientific.

"Hey, the sculptures here are..."

"They are our historical figures. People can also receive patriotic education while playing. Going forward, there is a square area. We are a community here. This square area is a commercial area, and the rest is an accommodation area."

"Oh."

As he walked along, Mesag became more and more fond of the girl around him. Finally, he couldn't help it.

"Can we exchange contact information? After I go offline, I want to continue to contact you."

"Sorry, we can only communicate here."

"Is it a system limitation? I am French, I..."

"No, I only exist here, I don't exist in the real world."

"What do you mean?" Mesag said he didn't understand.

"Because I am from this world."

"What do you mean?"

"I am an artificial intelligence."

"Artificial intelligence? There was no one behind the conversation you just had with me?"

"No, everything is just a conversation between my own thoughts and you."

What does this mean? Eastern technology is too advanced! Mesag was shocked.
