Chapter 362: Gambling on the fate of the nation
[Game Over] After seeing the words appear on the screen, Jian Jingsen’s mind went blank. After a few seconds, he asked in a hoarse voice: “How is the drone swarm?”
”No response… I’m afraid they have gained control.”
”…”
On the other side, Kang Chi also withdrew from the operating cabin. Du Meng had already started to ask the general command.
Should the exercise continue?
Faced with Du Meng’s question, the staff of the general command room of the exercise also felt a little embarrassed.
This exercise has been prepared since June, and it has consumed a lot of time, manpower and material resources. The exercise was originally planned to last for three days. As a result, the Red Army fell into a desperate situation after less than an hour of fighting between the two sides.
This result was beyond everyone’s expectations, and it also made them feel a little “disappointed”.
It felt like, I had worked so hard for so long in vain…
But if they continued forcefully, it would have no meaning except to increase the losses of the Red side.
So they chose to seek the Red side’s opinion.
Surrender, admit defeat…
This option was too heavy.
In all previous exercises, active surrender was extremely rare.
Even those professional e-sports players would symbolically resist when facing desperate situations, waiting for the other side to blow up their base to end the game,
Not to mention these professional soldiers who value victory more than their own lives.
Usually, it would only happen when the strength of both sides was seriously unbalanced, there was no possibility of winning at all, and the lives of the participating soldiers were threatened.
If only one of these two situations occurred, they would persist until the last moment.
In today’s exercise, although the participating soldiers were not threatened, the degree of tilt in the balance of victory was even more extreme. If the blue side had pushed forward with all its strength from the beginning, the exercise would have been declared over forty minutes ago.
After a minute of difficult ideological struggle, Jian Jingsen finally chose to accept reality and surrendered.
Wang Weisen was silent about Jian Jingsen’s decision and did not raise any objections.
Today, he had lost face enough.
After making this decision, Wang Weisen left the Red Army command room alone through the back door.
Jian Jingsen originally wanted to ask him where he was going, but he finally swallowed his words and prepared to return to the general command room.
Wang Weisen could be a coward and avoid problems,
But as the commander of the Red Army and a soldier, he had to bite the bullet and accept the criticism from his superiors.
…
Three minutes later, the general command room of the exercise.
All irrelevant personnel had left the venue in advance. Only three elders, more than ten military leaders, and the commanders and technical advisors of both sides of the exercise were left in the hall.
However, Wang Weisen, the chief technical advisor of the red side, did not show up.
Although Jian Jingsen said that Wang Weisen was not feeling well and went back to rest in advance, everyone knew that this was a far-fetched excuse.
But he was old after all, and he had made contributions to the country. Since he felt that leaving in this way could save his face a little, the leaders were naturally willing to give him this step.
In fact, if he could accept the failure calmly and admit his previous shortcomings and arrogance to Kang Chi, his later life might be a little better.
If he leaves with his tail between his legs like this now, he will definitely have a heartache in the future. Let alone meeting Kang Chi himself, I guess as long as he sees this name, he will be depressed and sleepless all night…
As the protagonist who won an overwhelming victory today, Kang Chi’s expression remained calm, as if he had just done something very trivial.
This made the three elders like this kid more and more.
If his previous achievements in the field of commercial technology allowed them to see the next window for the country’s economic take-off,
Then today’s exercise allowed them to see the country’s overwhelming development in military strength.
The four words “a strong country in science and technology” are fully reflected in him! It is said that heroes are made by the times. When the international situation has been turbulent for a hundred years, such a young hero can be born. It can be seen that China’s national destiny is simply red! “Congratulations, Dr. Kang, and thank you for your contribution to the country’s 76th anniversary.Such a great gift.”
The old man stood up and patted Kang Chi on the shoulder, and said with emotion, “It can be seen that you didn’t actually use all your strength just now, and we all know that this is only part of your drone carrier plan…”
”To be honest, I can’t wait to see your drone carrier launched.”
”But before that, I still want to ask you a question… Is your equipment cluster really free of shortcomings?”
Kang Chi thought for a moment before shaking his head and said, “This… If you mean the entire unmanned aircraft carrier equipment cluster, I really can’t think of any defects for the time being. If I find them in the future, I will definitely be able to solve them quickly.”
Seeing Kang Chi’s confident expression, the old man was immediately relieved.
”Of course, if you have to say shortcomings, there are actually some.” Kang Chi then added, “This plan is actually very expensive.”
”If these equipment are manufactured in small batches, the cost of a single piece of equipment will be very high. “If it is mass-produced, although the cost of a single device will be greatly reduced, the entire industrial chain will be very large.” “For example, just to initially establish the industry of quantum communication chips, it will take nearly one trillion, and the scale of the entire industrial chain may be ten times larger than the current quantum communication chips.” “However, just like quantum communication chips, these industries can actually be used to make more than just war robots. They have great potential in many fields such as scientific research, industry, commerce, and life.” “Let alone, just making some industrial robots, mining robots, domestic robots and other robots can greatly promote the country’s productivity, not to mention that many material technologies can do more than just make robots.” “So in the long run, I think the investment in this industrial chain is absolutely worthwhile, it can greatly improve our industrial productivity and national defense potential.” The old man nodded: “I understand. ”
The entire industry chain is ten times larger than the quantum communication chip industry chain…
It means a large industrial infrastructure with a scale of over 10 trillion.
This is really a gamble on the country’s destiny…
This even requires sacrificing the country’s economic development plan.
In fact, Kang Chi knew that although this scale of military investment may not cause GDP to decline on the surface, it may even increase it.
But the GDP generated by the development of national defense is ultimately “virtual” for the economy.
The things produced in the early stage of this industry are all weapons and equipment, which cannot become the living materials of the people, and cannot improve everyone’s living standards and quality. As a result, the stagnation or even reduction of daily necessities may lead to rising prices and a decline in living standards.
But judging from the current international situation, this is actually a necessary sacrifice and abandonment.
As long as you tighten your belt and survive these two years,
China’s overwhelming military power will make the Eagle shiver at home,
And this is the best time for Kang Chi to return to the field of civilian science and technology…
Excuse me for being blunt,
The whole earth will be his vegetable garden by then! When you want to grow leeks, grow leeks. If you are tired of eating leeks, grow cabbages instead. Are you still worried that your own people will not have enough food? It doesn’t exist at all!
