The two forces gathered together looked at each other from a distance across a large plain. If nothing else happens, this plain is the place where the two sides will fight under the tacit understanding.
The distance between them is more than just a stone's throw away. The ultra-long range of the robot race is no longer a secret due to word-of-mouth transmission from primitive elemental creatures. It’s just that most people don’t believe it, and very few people know its details.
But war is not about the side that makes the fewest mistakes becoming the ultimate winner. Therefore, the elemental lord Pablo chose to be conservative for a while and stood in a position where the enemy queue could only be vaguely seen from the horizon, about three or four kilometers away. The traditional war between this pair of elemental creatures is an unimaginable distance.
His idea, or the idea of most of the elemental beings participating in this war, was actually to try out the robot race. After all, according to rumors, although the other party destroyed every settlement, they actually transformed the conquered elemental creatures into the same life form as them. The conquered will join this suddenly rising army after the war and join the ranks of conquest.
If the other party has real materials, then joining is not a resistable choice. The first desire of elemental creatures is to become stronger, and the second is insignificant things such as dignity or freedom. After all, if you don't have enough power, everything else is just a gift from the stronger one. If the other party does not have real materials, then it will be lost in the long river of history as the price of disappointing yourself.
Of course, for the elemental lord Pablo, this is also an opportunity to expand his power. There are external pressures, internal fears or worries. If these factors are induced, weak elemental creatures who are confused about their future can choose to join his command. These minions are not only soldiers who can be brought to the battlefield, but also good helpers to help you collect specific materials.
In comparison, the robot race doesn't have that much fuss. Just do it, this is the only consensus they have with their overwhelming confidence.
Since the birth of the first batch of West Wind Valley robots, every small-scale battle, from a hundred-man level group fight, to a thousand-man level war, the robot tribe has taken an extremely serious attitude and planned it as a war between evenly matched enemies. This is the advice given by Lin. The purpose is to allow them to familiarize themselves with this new body faster and find suitable tactics.
Of course, the result of playing this way is that every game is crushed and there is no suspense...
Among them, the one that shines brightest is the tactical command platform.
This is the tactical command platform that debuts for the first time. The commander is a time traveler who has only played real-time strategy. No matter how many types of games he plays, he still can't hide the fact that this guy is not a person with a professional background and has received 800 serious training in tactical command. Even so, it is not a big problem for a wild player to hold a bunch of trump cards and push a bunch of garbage.
The first battle can be regarded as opening up people's insights, mainly overturning the old thinking. The real strength of the tactical command platform came from the countless battles starting from the second battle.
It is true that the original bodies of the robots were elemental creatures on the magic side, but a certain time-travelling being could use the ideas of Transformers and Terminators to create this group of silicon-based life forms. In order to control the mechanized body, computers and programs are used to issue operating instructions to each mechanical structure. In other words, robots are still a combination of computers and machinery.
What can be done when a bunch of computers are connected to the same platform and can communicate with each other? cloud computing? Cloud computing? Distributed Computing? Cloud_computing?
No matter which way you say it, it only means one thing, and that is faster computing speed and greater data processing capabilities.
Then every robot on the battlefield is a collector of intelligence information and a participant in the tactical command platform. They share what they see with members on the platform all the time, discuss the enemy's intentions together, and think about their own response strategies. All this information exchange and strategy formulation are completed in an instant, just like the processing speed of a computer.
Although a certain time-traveling robot has evolved through several cheating-like evolutions, its thinking and processing speed is not inferior to that of this group of robots, but after all, it is based on a different foundation and cannot achieve seamless horizontal connection. Lin and the robots can only communicate through traditional language and text, which is much slower.
Without a human to hold back, the speed of information exchange and tactical discussion among the robots would be an understatement.
When someone can know what is happening in every place on the battlefield, coupled with the ability to exchange and process information in a blink of an eye, everything and changes on the battlefield will be as transparent to them. In this way, you can issue instructions for the best actions at all times and make adjustments in response to changes at any time.
In other words, once the war begins and the robots are on the tactical command platform, the robots will no longer be single individuals doing their own thing, but as a whole. At the same time, there is no case of disobedience of orders or overstretching, because all orders are issued after all-round consideration, including the situation between ourselves and the enemy.
The most important thing is that the messenger also enjoys the speed of sending orders in seconds. This is not at the same level as the original elemental creatures, whose command basically relies on roaring.
However, this platform, which is no different from an artifact, is not completely without flaws. When the number of people entering the platform exceeds a threshold, the overall efficiency drops significantly. Specifically, a processing speed of one nanosecond dropped to one microsecond...
Well, no comparison, no harm. In short, in such a situation, the robots naturally turned to Fire and the creator of the robot race, the magician from the Lost Lands.
It didn't take Lin long to find the culprit on the platform that was causing the robots' processing speed to slow down. Simply put, there is too much repetitive spam.
If a robot soldier in a square formation sees a certain event, it means that ten or more than twenty people will see the same event, with different angles at most. When this information is reported to the tactical command platform, most of the platform's computing power will be used to filter the accessed data, eliminate duplication, clean up and restore the original appearance of relevant clues.
When the initial work reaches a certain order of magnitude, it is natural that the overall efficiency will decrease.
In order to solve this problem, robots specialized in communication and command were born. They may be responsible for an area, or they may be responsible for a certain number of robots. They will do a preliminary cleaning and integration of all the environmental information reported to them, and then throw it up to the tactical command platform for everyone to use.
Simply put, it is a hierarchical management concept. But this stratification does not involve the class or affiliation of robots. It's just a distributed computing method used to improve efficiency.
Under this efficient and consistent operation of the group, there is little room for individual personality display, and any jokes and funny words are considered a waste of time. That is to say, after entering a state of war and joining the tactical command platform, the robots will become ruthless; what they see in their eyes and what they think in their minds are all ways to win.
After seeing the unique appearance of the robots, someone who pretended to be confident felt flustered for no reason.
