At the same time, on the sea.
The island building work has officially started, and just as Feng Ping expected, those opponents have indeed thought of the most disgusting method.
They did not confront them head-on, or even resist. They just took advantage of every opportunity to tuck themselves and their worthless boats into the working surface.
They are like a swarm of flies, essentially causing no harm, but if left unattended, they can spread diseases in the environment.
And now, this "disease" has slowly begun to spread.
The work efficiency of the operators has been greatly affected, and the morale of the project team has also declined. The naval officers and soldiers responsible for security and security work are exhausted to deal with provocations and have not received adequate rest for several days.
Feng Ping vaguely felt that if this continued, the project would probably slip out of control.
No, we have to find a way.
The military is too weak to deal with this type of matter, and it can even be said that its hands are tied.
After all, they would never be timid in a real fight.
But they're not here to fight, they're just here to have fun!
Is there any way to deal with the problem?
Just rush in and kill him?
Logically speaking, this is not impossible.
After all, intrusion into territorial waters is an extremely serious provocation, and any country will use the most resolute means to deal with it.
But the problem is that now the other party is not afraid of death at all.
I don’t know what kind of enchanting soup they poured into those "fishermen". Even after heavy casualties occurred, they still screamed and sent them forward, as if they were determined to use human lives as a bargaining chip in exchange for international Society’s condemnation of so-called “hegemony”.
Under such circumstances, arrest becomes extremely difficult.
Without the use of thermal weapons, their resistance would risk injuring our personnel.
Otherwise, upgrade the equipment?
However, it seems that there are not many non-lethal weapons that can be used at sea.
You say use a net gun. The wind on the sea is too strong and the speed of small ships is too fast. In most cases, not to mention the net gun, even the rocket launcher cannot reach the side of the ship.
Only small missiles with tracking functions can be effective.
But in that case, it would play into the opponent's hands again.
For a moment, Feng Ping couldn't help but feel melancholy.
In fact, he also knew that his job was only to do a good job in construction, and these problems should be left to the military to figure out solutions.
However, he just couldn't help but think about it.
How do you say that?
I am humble and dare not forget about my country.
Not to mention that he is a captain who has assumed an important position, even if he is just an ordinary sailor, he probably has the same thoughts in his heart.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh again.
At this moment, someone suddenly tapped his shoulder from behind.
"Old Feng, why are you sighing here? Are you too tired these days?"
Feng Ping looked back and saw that the person coming was none other than Li Ruhai, the commander-in-chief of the island-building project.
He quickly stood up straight and answered:
"Hello, Chief! Report, I'm not tired! It's just a bit harmful and a bit frustrating."
Li Ruhai laughed, shook his head and said:
"Old Feng, you don't have to be so reserved every time you see me. You are also a captain. In terms of importance, I am not necessarily higher than you."
"What's wrong? Are you feeling aggrieved because of what those monkeys did in the past two days?"
Feng Ping nodded sheepishly and replied:
"Yeah, they're so disgusting."
"I really wish I could join the army and blow them all to death with one shot - Chief, I'm just saying this out of anger, don't take it seriously."
Speaking of this, Feng Ping's expression became a little gloomy.
"Actually, I also know that there is nothing we can do in this situation."
"I also listened to the radio broadcast on the ship. The Yankees are coming soon and are watching eagerly. If we continue to intensify the conflict, it will be easy for them to take advantage of us."
"If they take action then, we really won't be able to defeat them."
"So, that's what makes you most angry, right?"
Li Ruhai asked gently.
"Yes! Why? Why can they bully us like this and pretend to be victims?"
"The most irritating thing is that other countries are just as ignorant. They just believe what others say."
"It doesn't make sense to reason with them, and it doesn't make sense to fight them."
"It's frustrating. It's really frustrating."
Feng Ping said through gritted teeth.
In fact, in his decades of life, he had never encountered this kind of thing.
But if something happens to him, no matter how strong he is, he will try his best to fight. Even if he is bruised and bruised, as long as he feels the breath in his heart, he can continue to go on.
But now, the matter is not his matter alone, but the matter of the entire country.
That means that superiors must not make irrational decisions based on temporary whims, because they must be responsible for the interests of more than one billion people.
Li Ruhai saw Feng Ping's thoughts and didn't know how to enlighten him for a while.
After a moment of silence, he turned towards the sea and asked thoughtfully:
"On major matters, we really don't have the right to make decisions, and we can't make any decisions."
"However, do you think it will be better if we find a way to solve the problem of these fishing boats?"
"Of course!"
Feng Ping replied decisively.
"Eat the food one bite at a time and do the things one by one!"
"We also know that major issues cannot be solved for the time being, so we are just thinking about how to solve the immediate problems. To be honest, this is what I am worried about."
"I was just thinking, it would be great if there was something that could destroy all their ships at once without hurting their people."
"After much thinking, I have come up with two slightly more reliable ideas."
"Either use a net gun or engage in a motorboat collision."
"The conditions for using the net gun are too harsh and it is difficult to be effective, but let's take a motorboat. We lack the manpower to operate it, and if we crash our own boat, the gain will outweigh the loss."
Hearing his words, Li Ruhai nodded slightly, and then asked:
"Why did you think of using a motorboat?"
"It's fast!"
Feng Ping replied without thinking.
"Only if you are fast can you keep up with their 'speed boats' and fishing boats."
"Moreover, compared with other boats, motorboats are cheaper and don't hurt if you hit them."
"So, the core point is that it needs to be fast and cheap to be used as a death squad?"
"Yes! Chief, look, we can't use knives or guns, so what if we collide with a ship? Who can say clearly what happens at sea? If we continue to provoke, it will be an accident if we bite him to death."
"You yourself sent so many ships here. The sea is densely packed with them. I accidentally ran into them. Isn't it your fault?"
Li Ruhai's eyes lit up.
From Feng Ping's words, he got some inspiration.
No, collision still won't work.
If a large ship is used to collide, casualties are inevitable. If a small ship is used, the manpower and cost cannot keep up.
But what if there was something that was fast and cheap?
This kind of thing doesn't necessarily have to be at sea.
In a secret office at Western Polytechnic University, Wang Jiancheng sat opposite Chen Guo, looking slightly nervous.
Of course, he was nervous not because this was his first time communicating with an "expert who could only look up to him," but because in this so-called communication, the other person's identity was not an "expert" or a "professor," but
Official spokesperson.
Yes, it is not even the 611 Institute, but directly represents the will of the higher-level officials.
Therefore, he couldn't help but be nervous.
"So, the Yujing 01 UAV flight control system is actually a project completed by you and Chen Nian? Moreover, you also played an important role in it, or even the main role. Is that correct?"
Chen Guo asked.
Wang Jiancheng hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head firmly.
He replied:
"If you look at it from a third-party perspective, I am indeed the protagonist of this project."
"Because I did do a lot of the project work, including major programming work."
"But that's not true."
"The fact is, I just provided an initial idea and did some basic, routine work."
"Senior Chen Nian is the soul of the entire project."
"He not only contributed the core idea of the most important convolutional neural network algorithm in the Tamai 01 program, but also helped to obtain a series of experimental resources."
“When the project encountered difficulties, he also provided solutions.”
"I believe that the so-called 'main role' cannot be defined simply by the amount of work, but by the size of the actual contribution."
"In my opinion, Senior Chen Nian's contribution is greater than mine - and much greater."
After hearing his words, Chen Guo nodded calmly.
It is indeed Xiaonian's style
He always habitually hides himself behind his back. If he is not personally involved in the project, many times he will not even know that he is involved in the project.
Only those who have worked with him know how talented and powerful he is.
So, he opened his mouth and said:
"Then I basically understand."
"However, judging from your description, you should be very familiar with Yujing 01, right?"
"From its birth to the completion of the experiment, you participated in the entire process and were responsible for the specific implementation work."
"So, logically speaking, if you improve it now, it shouldn't be too difficult?"
Wang Jiancheng was stunned for a moment and replied:
"Then it depends on which direction we should improve."
"If I were asked now to improve it into an AI flight control that can really be used on large military drones and can cooperate with manned pilot aircraft, I can only say that it is not possible yet."
"I need a lot of data and a lot of experiments to optimize the system, and the machine learning algorithm also needs more time to train."
"You're very candid."
Chen Guo said approvingly.
Then, he changed the topic.
"However, the project we want you to do this time is not as complicated as you said."
"We just need you to optimize the Tamai 01 that can be used on aircraft carriers so that it can be used on small military drones."
"We have only one requirement: to allow Yujing 01 to control more than 50 small drones at the same time, maintain the flight status of the drone cluster, and select different tactical actions in sequence."
"Can such a request be fulfilled?"
"able."
Wang Jiancheng breathed a sigh of relief and answered without thinking.
In fact, he has been optimizing Yujing 01 in the past period of time. Up to now, this system can track 20 targets at the same time.
Moreover, this is not the upper limit of Tamai 01 at all, but the upper limit of the computing power of the small computer he holds.
If more powerful computing power terminals are provided, this number can be doubled at any time.
"very good."
Chen Guo looked at Wang Jiancheng opposite with satisfaction, took out the confidentiality agreement that had been prepared long ago from the drawer, and then continued:
"This is a confidentiality agreement. If you are willing to join this project, then sign this agreement."
"I will continue to inform you of other details of the project later."
"Of course, if you don't want to, then our conversation today will be treated as if it never happened - but you are also subject to confidentiality regulations, and someone will inform you of the specific rules."
Wang Jiancheng stared at Chen Guo's actions in stunned silence, feeling extremely surprised.
confidentiality agreement
No matter how new he is, he knows that once this thing is involved, it proves that the importance of the project will not be low.
Good guy, at first I thought that Chen Guo found me in an official capacity and just wanted him to participate in some theoretical research projects.
Now it seems that this is not the case at all!
It was obvious that the project provided by Chen Guo was far more complex and critical than he had expected.
This may be an opportunity that many people will never get in their lifetime, but now.
The opportunity is right in front of you!
Reach the sky in one step!
His heart was beating wildly and his mind was in turmoil.
But in contrast, his body did not move for a long time.
Chen Guo looked at him doubtfully and asked:
"What? You really don't want to sign, do you?"
After hearing his question, Wang Jiancheng took a deep breath, shook his head and said:
"Professor Chen, it's not that I don't want to sign, it's just that I think I need Senior Chen Nian to sign with me."
"Tamajing 01 is also his result, I can't leave him behind."
"I don't know how you arrange it here, but what I want to say is that even if I can complete the task independently, I hope to let him participate together."
"I can ask for half of the payment—or not."
"If you really only need one person, let the senior come."
Chen Guo listened to Wang Jiancheng's words dumbfounded, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
Can't leave Chen Nian behind?
You are loyal, but they are really not on the same level as you, okay?
But having said that, Wang Jiancheng can say such things, which shows that he really has nothing to say in terms of personal quality. No wonder Chen Nian values him so much.
Chen Nian's vision is indeed equally good.
Looking at Wang Jiancheng with a serious face, Chen Guo said:
"Do not worry."
"Chen Nian will also participate in the project, but the things we want to discuss with him are different from yours, so we have to discuss them separately."
"You will have the opportunity to meet in the project team later."
After hearing this, Wang Jiancheng finally felt relieved.
He took the document from Chen Guo's hand and quickly signed his name with a bright smile on his face.
Just one day later, the drone swarm project was announced.
The goal of the project is to adapt the Yujing 01AI flight control system to existing small reconnaissance drones in the shortest possible time and transform reconnaissance into attack.
Li Ruhai's vision will be realized quickly in a short period of time, and for those "fishermen" who wantonly destroy the sea, their doom has also entered a countdown.
