Chapter 397: Emperor Guard 2.0 System!
"We will win in the end!"
Inside a triangular cone-shaped fortress near the Imperial Star Circle defense line.
Thunderous applause echoed in the spacious auditorium. Hundreds of middle-level officers from various departments of the Imperial Army stood up at the same time, staring at Major General Hanton, the Imperial Hero, the Image Ambassador of the Imperial Army, the Imperial Royal Knight Commander, and the fiancé of the Imperial Songstress, who had just finished his speech with burning eyes.
Yang Ming clenched his fist and waved it, then turned and walked behind the stage.
The applause lasted for more than ten seconds before gradually stopping, and the real tactical course instructor came on the stage on the other side.
Yang Ming had just returned to the door of the lounge, but before he could go in, he was blocked by Lieutenant General Thomas.
"Oh, Hanton," the lieutenant general smiled, "I just received news that we are going to attend an unveiling ceremony."
Yang Ming swallowed his saliva and said, "Let me have some tea! General, I have given three speeches in a row and my lips are almost peeling!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Thomas put his arm around Yang Ming's shoulders and pushed him toward the corridor.
Yang Ming didn't dare to struggle.
The main reason was that they were afraid that if he struggled a little too hard, Lieutenant General Thomas would break his hand.
A female assistant in a military uniform came running over and handed over the tea respectfully. Yang Ming opened the bottle and took two sips. He just felt... the water handed over by this young lady was really sweet.
"What unveiling ceremony?"
"It's called an unveiling ceremony, but it's actually an internal verification meeting," Lieutenant General Thomas glanced around and said a term in a low voice, "Emperor Guard 2.0."
Yang Ming laughed: "Are you sure that this new system is better than the old one?"
Lieutenant General Thomas groaned for a few seconds and said, "I am cautiously pessimistic."
"Why?"
"We still don't understand how this supercomputer system can maintain its stability," Lieutenant General Thomas sighed. "Imperial Guard 2.0 has gone through hundreds of experiments in the past few years, and we have encountered several very difficult problems."
Yang Ming blinked and tried hard to be a qualified listener.
Lieutenant Thomas continued:
“The biggest problem is that this system can easily be overwhelmed by an instantaneous burst of information flow.
“When we connect this system to the networks of more than 5,000 warships or more than 30 planets, it will easily crash and will not be able to maintain its own stability, let alone call on the onboard servers and supercomputers of these warships.
"Alas, our current technology is not as good as it was tens of thousands of years ago. Are we always regressing?"
Yang Ming nodded beside him.
That's right.
The reason and law coming from the omnic Twilight are two huge bugs.
He laughed and said, “Maybe there are some clever and original designs that we haven’t noticed.”
"You guessed it right," Lieutenant General Thomas raised his eyebrows. "After our national scientific research, we found a critical problem, which is... the anthropomorphism of this system."
"Anthropomorphism?"
"Let's get on board and talk," Vice Admiral Thomas said in a gentle voice, leaving the topic in suspense.
More than ten minutes later, the battleship the two were on and more than twenty escort ships entered the nearby jump zone and continued to move towards the vast territory of the empire.
Lieutenant General Thomas pulled Yang Ming into a small room and continued to mutter about the Imperial Guard System.
The Empire has poured an astronomical amount of resources and manpower into Imperial Guard 2.0.
This system has been developed in secret for a long time, dating back hundreds of years, but it has always been used as a technical verification of the "Empire's Entire Territory Defense System." - By recreating a similar system, we can figure out the core technology of the Imperial Guard System.
In recent years, the Imperial Guard system has frequently lost response, and the empire has felt a strong sense of crisis, so it decided to formally bring this project up.
As Lieutenant General Thomas said, the new system designed by the Empire achieved good results in the initial small-scale verification.
However, when connected to a larger network, the system became fragile and not only collapsed, but also burned out the expensive hardware network in several cases.
"What's the problem?"
Boss Yang asked the question very earnestly even though he knew the answer.
"I don't know the details. I can only give a rough explanation," Lieutenant General Thomas said with a sigh. "I'm just a battle commander. You can't expect me to understand how many parts the tools I use are made of. I just heard that there is a problem with the anthropomorphism of the system."
“Anthropomorphic?”
"Yes, it seems to be the self-protection function of the internal network."
Lieutenant General Thomas said slowly:
“When a system works strictly according to program logic, it will give top priority to the instructions we input. When it is overloaded, it can only provide feedback through the program language, which will cause a certain delay.
“This little delay is the key to the collapse of the entire system.
"Also, it doesn't mean that the more servers you connect to the Internet, the more amazing the computing power will be. How to coordinate these servers and bring out the computing power of all hardware systems in an instant is a bigger challenge."
Yang Ming wondered, "Then what? What is the solution?"
Lieutenant General Thomas sighed: "Anthropomorphism... Haha, to put it bluntly, it's just an intelligent machine."
"Omnic?"
"To be precise, it's a complete mastermind," Vice Admiral Thomas shook his head. "That sounds crazy, right? We are connecting our command system to an intelligent machine. If this intelligent machine controls thousands or even tens of thousands of our warships and then turns around and betrays the empire, that would be the biggest disaster."
Yang Ming leaned back.
Artificial intelligent machines are not the same as the mechanical thinking bodies of higher-dimensional civilizations.
The hidden danger mentioned by Vice Admiral Thomas has almost a 50% chance of occurring for artificial intelligent machines.
Yang Ming said: "Isn't this too unreliable?"
"So, they want you to come over," Lieutenant General Thomas picked up the cup beside him and walked to the beverage machine. "I know you are very tired, Hanton. In recent months, you have been running around. You are the most diligent in the committee. Of course, you have also received the commendation of His Majesty. His Majesty didn't even bother to mention our names."
Yang Ming squinted and smiled.
Is this old general jealous?
"What could I have done? I was a space infantryman."
Thomas continued, "Who knows what weird stuff they have in their heads. They instilled a lot of your information into the Imperial Guard 2.0. They should have told that omnic - see this guy? If you betray the Empire, this guy can dismantle your main brain into a pile of parts... That's it."
Yang Ming: …
High-end research projects often require the simplest threats.
Crumbs.
…
In Lu's thinking space, two girls sat cross-legged in front of a "square box projector", eating snacks and watching the live broadcast.
"Smart Guard 2.0?"
Molly tilted her head and asked:
"Number Two, is the Empire messing around? You and I are not intelligent machines. You are a kind of creature born from a mechanical civilization. I can feel that there are very intuitive differences between us.
"Will they not end up making things worse and get themselves into trouble?"
"Probably not," Lu Ye was a little unsure, "The Empire's background should not be underestimated. This intelligent machine may be different."
Molly muttered quietly, "It always feels a little unreliable."
"Just keep watching," Lu chuckled, "Now no one dares to check on the boss, we can spy openly... You called number two again, didn't you?"
"No, Sister Lu, I've been shouting like that all the time."
Molly gave an innocent smile.
Lu rolled his eyes: "Be careful, I can't handle the law, can I handle you?"
"Single bet~"
"Pah, hahaha! You're so annoying!"
The laughter in the thinking space became more and more unrestrained.
…
Although not many people attended the unveiling ceremony of Emperor Guard 2.0, there were quite a few bigwigs from the empire among them.
Yang Ming and Thomas, one represents the emperor, and the other represents the "young and strong" faction of the military. ——The reason why Lieutenant General Thomas could not be promoted to a higher rank was because he was not old enough.
But the two of them could only sit in the second row of the viewing platform.
The dozen or so seats in the first row are reserved for the Sherman family's elite ruling clique.
The unveiling ceremony was held inside a confidential research institute, located underground on an inconspicuous small administrative planet.
Yang Ming and Thomas occasionally joked and discussed explosive weapons to deal with the Zerg.
Young people and middle-aged appearing and waiting quietly on the side. When Yang Ming turned his head to look at him, they immediately stepped forward and asked Yang Ming to sign for them or take a photo with him.
Yang Ming accepted all the invitations, fully expressing his respect for these scientific research talents.
Gradually, the small meeting place was filled with people. Several representatives from the two major power institutions, the Imperial Military and the Council of Elders, came. Two middle-aged women from the Tentacle Organization appeared in the corner of the meeting place at some point in time.
In the center of the venue, staff in white coats began to install thick pieces of special glass to form a transparent glass room, and began to move some hardware equipment into it.
Those devices are a bit like the ship's main brain...
"Your wife is here," Lieutenant General Thomas said suddenly.
Yang Ming looked up at the entrance and saw a familiar figure.
The Empire's singer's hairstyle today was an exquisite bun, which made her fair neck look even more slender. On that charming face that had fascinated thousands of boys in the Empire, a pair of thick sunglasses covered her bright eyes that sent out electric waves.
Daphne pays great attention to her body management. Even if she is wearing a gray windbreaker, her tall and slender figure can still attract the attention of the men present.
Due to his busy official duties, Yang Ming hasn't slept with Daphne for a while - it was just a sleeping relationship.
When Daphne saw Yang Ming, she immediately took off her glasses, a faint smile bloomed on the corners of her mouth, and the rhythm of her high heels became much lighter. Ignoring the instructions of the staff, she walked straight to Yang Ming.
Boss Yang gave him some face and stood up with his arms open.
Daphne immediately leaned forward and hugged Yang Ming's waist.
"I didn't expect you to come here," Yang Ming said softly, "Long time no see, dear."
"You're too busy at work," Daphne complained softly, then gave Yang Ming a kiss on the cheek.
The two of them behaved like a couple in love.
Lieutenant General Thomas watched with a smile.
"Will your great uncle come?" Yang Ming asked.
"It should be presented via projection," Daphne said softly, "Granduncle hopes you can give some feedback. They feel a little uneasy about the Emperor Guard 2.0 system."
Yang Ming nodded: "I am not an expert in this field either."
"You also have a strong technical team behind you, don't you?"
Daphne blinked gently, with a hint of smile in her eyes.
Yang Ming immediately understood her subtext.
Director Ino wanted him to contribute his technical team or make some contributions.
Yang Ming smiled and said, "They are my last trump card."
What he meant was that he couldn't hand over . He needed to wait until "Faya's Game" was over and his home planet could be "settled."
Daphne did not stay long. After saying hello to Lieutenant General Thomas, she went to the corner seat in the first row below.
As soon as Daphne
Lieutenant General Thomas nudged Yang Ming with his elbow, and the two looked at each other, each revealing a tacit smile.
The unveiling ceremony will begin soon.
The ceremony was presided over by three gray-haired scientific researchers.
They introduced the development process of Emperor Guard 2.0 and the results of dozens of recent experiments, and spent most of their time introducing the "safe intelligent mechanical structure" they designed.
The so-called safe intelligent mechanical structure, to put it bluntly, is actually two very simple methods.
First, Boss Yang’s one-click headshot system.
Put a self-destruct device on the hardware, and blow up the core brain immediately if anything goes wrong.
Second, the three-layer structure of inside, middle and outside.
It's kind of like Law's mind space.
The innermost structure of this intelligent machine is a core processor with powerful computing power. It has a powerful main brain comparable to hundreds of ship-borne supercomputers and is the highest crystallization of the empire's technological strength.
When Lu in the thinking space saw this hardware system, his eyes glowed green.
The middle-level structure of the intelligent machine is a "simulated space". The consciousness born from the intelligent machine will be trapped in the simulated space. It will receive and process information through various virtual devices in the space and connect to the outermost expansion equipment.
Their scientific research team has overcome almost all difficulties, except for one problem.
It takes some time for external devices to connect.
To give a simple example, for an Imperial standard battle group consisting of 2,500 large and medium-sized warships, it would take Imperial Guard 2.0 about three minutes to complete the system takeover.
After taking over, the instructions are issued without any delay, and the command effect of the Emperor Guard 1.0 system can be achieved.
If you want to take over more than five battle groups, it will take about thirty minutes...
“But that’s not a problem.”
The R&D Director said:
“This system is completely under our control. We do not need to activate it only in critical moments. Instead, we keep it connected but not intervening. When we need it to intervene, it can intervene instantly.
“For our unified network, it takes about three months to complete the integration of resources.
"This is a relatively serious drawback, but my Lords, this is the only way to ensure its safety. At least, this is what we can use now."
Yang Ming really wanted to ask a question, but he held back.
He doesn't need to offend anyone.
The Imperial Guard 2.0 was clearly created by the elite ruling clique of the Sherman family.
"Now, please witness, the Emperor Guard 2.0 system is about to be officially launched... I wonder which lord is willing to press this button."
Yang Ming nudged Lieutenant General Thomas with his elbow, and Lieutenant General Thomas crossed his legs.
Director Ino below looked up and said with a smile: "Hanton, you go for us, we are just projections here."
"Okay," Yang Ming immediately stood up and straightened his military uniform.
Yang Ming felt regretful in his heart.
If he had known that he could directly access the hardware of this system, he would have applied some "nano-robot powder" on his fingers, which might have earned Lu Bai a few high-performance mainframes.
This thing is Lu's favorite.
Well, let’s find a way to get the Empire’s main brain technology back later, so that Law can catch up with the performance gap between Law and Logic as soon as possible.
Amidst the applause, Yang Ming arrived beside the three middle-aged men and was led into the glass room.
He raised a finger and pressed the power button.
In fact, the question that Yang Ming wanted to ask just now was a little bit "fatal" to the empire.
If Royal Guard 1.0 doesn't like Royal Guard 2.0...what will they do?
Yang Ming's finger fell, and the instruments in the glass room were instantly lit up. Blue circuit "patterns" appeared on the four walls of the hall, making the whole hall full of a sense of technology.
at the same time.
Deep inside the Imperial Star, in the Imperial Guard System Research Institute, inside the huge black box.
The girl curled up, her eyelashes fluttering slightly, and her eyes slightly opened.
