Global Monopoly of Technology

During the three days of the Academy of National Defense Military Strategy, Luo Sheng also basically guessed some of the military's decisions.

Because this year is not only the first year of the military-civilian integration strategy, but Luo Sheng is currently the best in the field of artificial intelligence. The Cote d'Azur Lab is known as the "Bell Lab" of the East. In recent years, scientific and technological achievements have been made one after another. Continued to emerge, it has received $40 billion in R\u0026D funding every year.

It is no exaggeration to say that many national-level scientific research institutions in China are envious, and other scientific research institutions in the world are also very envious. Scientists cannot make money, but scientific research requires krypton gold.

Only Luo Sheng has achieved both, obtaining technological advantages through scientific research investment, obtaining excellent international competitiveness through technological advantages, obtaining high profits through core competitiveness, and then feeding scientific research investment through high profits. benign hematopoietic circulation.

Luo Sheng is also quite curious about which three aspects the military intends to entrust him with the development of AI military applications.

Yang Hongyi handed Luo Sheng a top-secret document he brought, and the latter found that the document was unsealed and opened.

Luo Sheng was surprised when he saw it: "Three aspects of sea, land, and air?"

Yang Hongyi nodded.

Luo Sheng didn't say more, and browsed one by one, understanding the content first.

Unmanned underwater vehicle of the Navy project.

It can also be called an unmanned underwater vehicle or an unmanned underwater vehicle, that is, a military vehicle that navigates underwater by remote control or automatic control without human beings.

The military's assessment is that with the development of unmanned underwater vehicles and related technologies, this military vehicle has a strong space to be used for tasks such as mine sweeping, reconnaissance, intelligence collection, and ocean exploration, and can also be used in future naval battles. It is used as underwater weapon platform, logistics support platform and other equipment.

The military also assessed its strengths and limitations.

Advantage:

Compared with submarines, unmanned submersibles are unmanned combat platforms, so they can greatly reduce casualties caused by war; their small size and the application of other stealth technologies make their stealth performance higher than submarines; Use, low cost, and can be deployed in large quantities.

Limitations:

Poor endurance limits the range of use of unmanned submersibles.

The lithium battery used has technical defects such as easy ignition, and the navigation function needs to be improved.

A powered exoskeleton for an Army project.

The military's assessment is that military powered exoskeletons are an emerging force on the battlefield in the future, and are auxiliary equipment to cooperate with human soldiers in combat.

Advantage:

Military powered exoskeletons can improve the battlefield survivability of soldiers when performing combat and dangerous missions, and have the advantages of high intelligence and high combat effectiveness.

Limitations:

Without the combat capability under complex conditions, the environmental adaptability is difficult to achieve the level of individual combat, and largely depends on the operation of human soldiers.

However, in the long run, with the development of intelligent traction mechanization and informatization to a higher level, the development potential of military power exoskeletons will be huge. The survivability will also be stronger, and the war modes that can participate will also be diversified.

Drone swarms for Air Force projects.

The military's assessment is that drone swarms consist of a number of low-cost small drones equipped with a variety of mission payloads, which refer to the collective behavior patterns of insects such as swarms, and coordinate to complete specific operations under human intelligence or supervision. Task.

Advantage:

During combat, drone swarms can be specialized in division of labor and can perform a variety of tasks; each drone has a relatively single function, and assembly-line production can greatly reduce R\u0026D and procurement costs; it can increase the number of battlefield sensors and attack weapons, enabling the military to Local battlefields have the advantage of the number of air equipment, a large number of drones can paralyze the enemy's air defense radar, consume the enemy's limited amount of high-cost air defense ammunition, and make a high-yield exchange of battle damage.

Limitations:

Due to the higher requirements for coordination and autonomy of drone swarms, it is necessary to establish a new intelligent control model for managing large-scale swarms, so it faces key technical challenges such as collaborative combat algorithms, communication between swarm individuals, and remote intelligent control.

Yang Hongyi saw that Luo Sheng understood almost, and immediately said: "These three military research projects, the military is most valued by the drone swarm project. In the future, the drone swarm may pull air combat equipment, showing a cheap airframe. The characteristics of automation, platform autonomy, and load miniaturization may have a subversive impact on the development ideas of the future aviation equipment system, but this is also the most difficult..."

When Luo Sheng heard Yang Hongyi's last sentence, he couldn't help laughing. It may be the most difficult for others, but it is the easiest for him. The core technology is artificial intelligence technology, that is, the degree of intelligence. .

And now it's no exaggeration to say that Xiaona's intelligence is already competent enough.

Luo Sheng closed the document, looked at Yang Hongyi and asked, "Is this an internal bidding project? Are there any other institutions involved?"

Yang Hongyi replied: "There are other institutions involved, but they are all part of the modules, mainly the hardware section, mainly supporting facilities, and the system software level, especially the artificial intelligence section, is not accepted, and if you don't answer, there is really no one received."

Luo Sheng didn't think much, and said directly, "No problem, I'll take over these three projects."

Hearing this, Yang Hongyi's spirit was slightly lifted, because he heard a strong self-confidence from Luo Sheng's tone. This kind of self-confidence is not possessed by the heads of other institutions. With reference to his technical achievements in the field of artificial intelligence, The future is even more promising.

After a while, Luo Sheng added: "But I want to know what the military's procurement scale is? I have to know this, because it involves the balance of research and development costs."

Hearing this, Yang Hongyi couldn't help but look sideways. Luo Sheng's words interpreted a very crucial signal, that is, he never thought about asking the state to give him subsidies for research and development.

This shows that he not only has to take over this project, but also does not lose money without accepting state-subsidized scientific research funds. This is a model similar to Boeing. What kind of equipment does the military want? List the indicators. , and then let the relevant enterprises to bid, and the product can be purchased after the product is developed.

In this way, the scientific research funding subsidy given by the state is omitted, because the enterprise bears this huge expenditure by itself.

Yang Hongyi said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about procurement. Now that the country is rich, military spending has maintained double-digit growth every year. A large number of active weapons and equipment are outdated and need to be replaced. Military enterprises, especially high-tech and high-quality military industry A business, even a country that loses money, will not allow it to fail. Have you ever seen the Americans allow Boeing to fail?"

Luo Sheng nodded and couldn't help but smile: "That's true."

Yang Hongyi added: "Secondly, the military is not allowed to do business. The military has no right to intervene in your business behavior. However, after the relevant departments of the country will comprehensively assess the national security, military enterprises can also be approved to develop and export foreign trade weapons. equipment."

Export and foreign trade is a big business with bloody profits, and the export of military products is the huge profit in the huge profits. As everyone knows, the export of a weapon and equipment in the United States can easily reach more than 400% of the profit.

More importantly, as long as a foreign trade-type weapon and equipment is sold, it means that the harvest can be guaranteed year after year, because the logistical maintenance of a piece of equipment is placed there, and the lifespan of a piece of equipment is often a number of years. years or even decades.

Obtaining the relevant qualification license is legal international arms trade. Without qualification, it is arms smuggling, and you will have to go to jail.

But even so, obtaining the relevant qualifications does not mean that the products are sold to whomever they want. The country has the final say on how to sell it, and the company has the final say. The export trade of military products is different from the export trade of ordinary civilian goods. This kind of thing involving national security and international relations needs to be strictly regulated.

Even if the North American military giant Lockheed Martin, its F-22 stealth fighter, wants to buy it from all over the world, the price is up to you, and Lockheed Martin wants to sell it, but the Wujiao Building and the White House cannot export it without nodding.
