Chapter 662 Exercise (4k)
What is a security threat?
In addition to being a duty, it also means a huge amount of money.
A war can make the military-industrial complex eat up trillions of dollars, so how much can this future security war eat up?
Of course, the soldiers present are elites with faith and responsibility. How could they be impatient after hearing a speech by an expert?
A senior officer with a brilliant resume said seriously: "It is our duty to maintain national security. But whether there is a security threat should be determined after we investigate."
Facing this calmness, a senior consultant working at Intel also said seriously: "Cyberspace is a project that our company and you work closely together. You should not forget the past when we worked together, right?
And now, since Jiuzhou Technology and Yunzhong Jiulong have been continuously cooperating with those institutions and companies on data protection projects, as well as the global prevalence of Gonggong systems and boundary monuments. Our share in these industries has dropped significantly. When fewer and fewer users use our products, you will also lose more information channels. "
The soldier glanced at his former boss, and his intuition told him that the other party was not here simply for money.
After Intel's senior consultant finished speaking, Microsoft's senior consultant also stood up and said: "One of the foundations of Gonggong System and Cloud Jiulong's global data protection business is the large-scale server cluster that provides them with powerful computing power.
General Jiang, we need to work together to face this scourge."
No one in this room would ignore or dare to ignore the words of these two senior consultants.
From a big picture perspective, they are talking about important issues such as security threats. From a small picture perspective, before they retire, many officers sitting here will take the initiative to salute these two.
The "efforts" that the Pentagon has made for planetary peace over the years are no less than Uncle Sam's.
After these two senior consultants made a clear attitude, there was no suspense in this meeting.
In the intensive negotiations, the bills on semiconductors and cyberspace security were brought to Congress.
Of course, along with these bills, there is also a series of relevant information about Jiuzhou Technology, including the detailed resume of Jiuzhou Technology founder Gu Qing.
This young man who was born and raised in Daxia, his files for the first 21 years can be said to be "nothing special", but since he founded Jiuzhou Technology Company, the plot that has been like a cheat has made many congressmen who are still obsessed with "election" activities open their eyes.
"We can absorb him into our country! Let him become the American technology dream of the new era!"
"He has a deep connection with the Daxia military, maybe we can regard him as one of the imaginary enemies."
"No, no, no, now Jiuzhou Technology is fully authorized to teach our companies various high-end semiconductor technologies, we should not be so harsh against it, otherwise it will bring very bad effects!"
"Hou Lixie! This yellow monkey must have stolen our experimental data, otherwise how could it develop these epoch-making products?!"
"Since it is already authorized, let our companies surpass them! Take back the share that Daxia companies have snatched!"
According to Reuters on October 26, Intel Group announced at 3 pm local time that the company won the second and third phase contracts of a cooperation project with the US military, aimed at helping the military produce more advanced semiconductors in North America. But Intel refused to disclose the specific amount of this part of the contract.
According to reports, in order to complete the contract, Intel will use its own semiconductor packaging technology in factories in Arizona and Oregon to help the military develop chip prototypes. This packaging technology can integrate "chiplets" from different suppliers into one package, thereby integrating more functions into a smaller finished product while reducing its energy consumption.
Intel's CEO said in an interview: "As more and more semiconductor production has moved overseas, the Department of Defense is very interested in ensuring that it has advanced microelectronics products produced locally and serving national security."
Reuters pointed out that 85% of the world's chip production capacity is currently located in Asia, and many of the most advanced factories are located in the Ryukyu Province of Daxia and Goryeo. And these factories are within the range of Daxia's military missiles.
Allen, the Pentagon's chief weapons purchaser, testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee: "One of the areas where we can have a wide impact on China is the reshoring of microelectronics products."
Of course, such a large order cannot be enjoyed by Intel alone.
The Pentagon also announced that it has awarded a $30.1 billion contract to the technology giant, WeSoft, which will provide the military with at least 120,000 sets of augmented reality, or AR devices, and customized special security operating systems.
Influenced by this news, Microsoft's stock price soared instantly, with a total market value of 1.79 trillion US dollars.
This is not the first time that WeSoft has received a large order from the Pentagon. As early as 1018, it received a contract worth 500 million US dollars from the Pentagon to manufacture AR equipment prototypes for the military - the military version of HoloLens 2.
The spokesperson said: "When this equipment is successfully developed and mass-produced, our brave soldiers will no longer need paper maps. They only need to use goggles to plan combat missions and can also communicate better on the battlefield.
For example, in training to simulate street fighting and local area wars, soldiers can use aerial cameras to see holographic images of enemy targets after technical processing.
In addition, this set of equipment can be connected to each other through the network. The commander at the base can see what the soldiers are seeing in real time, and the soldiers can also receive real-time footage captured by drones and other equipment. "
In addition to developing military VR equipment for the military, Microsoft also received a US$10 billion cloud computing service contract from the US Department of Defense.
"The Washington Post" believes: "Wesoft is becoming an important player in the field of US military weapons and equipment."
The generous cooperation between these two giant companies and the Pentagon has naturally attracted a huge wave of public opinion.
Of course, it also made some employees within these two companies dissatisfied.
In the view of these employees, after the company signs a contract with the Pentagon, they will transform from a technical employee into an executioner producing weapons. The products they produce will bring danger and death to countless people.
Therefore, these employees petitioned through the union, asking their company to cancel cooperation and stop developing weapons-related technologies.
Microsoft CEO said in an interview with the media: "The decision we made is based on principle. We will not prevent our democratically selected institutions from using technology to protect the freedoms we enjoy. And AR technology can help soldiers target the enemy, Prevent civilians from being killed.”
After a round of public relations, salary increases and layoffs, employee opposition within Microsoft and Intel gradually disappeared.
Time has entered November under the bombardment of major events at home and abroad.
This year's Double Eleven is just like previous years. The event officially started in the early morning of October 1st. Online shopping platforms such as Taobei, Jindong, and Xixi still gave their users countless calculation questions that were as difficult as the mathematics of the college entrance examination.
Countless conditions such as reductions and exemptions, discounts, store discounts, special area discounts, cash rebates, golden beans, etc. are mixed together, so that products that actually cost 1,000 yuan in September can be purchased for 999 yuan with the successful operation of consumers. Get Xia Yuan's preferential price.
Of course, among this group of merchants who have raised prices in advance, there are also some affordable products, and all of these products have been sold out without exception.
The crazy ordering in the early morning kept the young people up another night.
While shopping, netizens naturally cursed when they saw news feeds from companies like Microsoft and Intel.
"This is the benefit of supporting domestic products and making these wolf-hearted things no longer profitable!"
"What does it mean to prevent civilians from being killed? What is the definition of civilians? Who can prove that those who are killed deserve to die?"
"It's really scary. We used to use Microsoft's Windows operating system, so we were indirectly accomplices?"
"Hahaha, I have always used the cracked version. I was a little ashamed before, but now I can straighten up and say that I have never contributed a penny to Microsoft!"
"You didn't contribute to Microsoft. Then you should contribute to Intel. Otherwise, when the Titan processor didn't come out a few years ago, what would you install in your computer's CPU?"
"Oh, it's really a double standard. Fortunately, we have domestic operating systems such as Gonggong System and Hongmeng System. If we still use Microsoft and Google things as before, how others deal with their enemies can also be used against us."
"Don't mention it. You can mention Hongmeng, but why mention Jiuzhou Technology? Does it deserve it? Gu Qing's dead-skinned cartilage, how many keys does he deserve?"
"I heard that when Jiuzhou Technology participated in the Zhuhai Air Show, it exhibited military VR helmets. I don't know why it has disappeared in the past two years. Alas."
"How can there be no shadow? Our military has always done things reliably and cooperated with trustworthy people, so we will not cooperate with this kind of bullshit. I am afraid that the military only knows the urinal nature of Jiuzhou Technology, so it is here In the past two years, we have distanced ourselves from Jiuzhou Technology, and even the data center cooperation has been led by Cloud Jiulong.”
It can be seen that the hatred of the people of Daxia towards the traitors is really long-lasting.
The public opinion condemning Gu Qing has not stopped, and many people even think that when Gu Qing dies, he may become a figure like Qin Hui and be cast aside by countless people.
Of course, among these denunciations, some overseas IPs also said: "You are all blaming Mr. Gu, why don't you think about it from his perspective? He is young and promising, how much he has done for Daxia, how much he has led Jiuzhou Technology to develop Product? What did you get in exchange?
The iron-barrel-like protective circle in the Jiuzhou community is a protective circle, rather than a confinement! Have you ever seen Mr. Gu travel abroad after he founded the company? Going home for the New Year?
Wake up, if you are not too aggrieved, who would want to bear the infamy.
I understand him very well. Even though he is a genius, he also has an ordinary heart. "
——Los Angeles user.
"Look at the scientific research environment in China. A well-done experiment is not as good as a flattery. A well-written report is not as good as a good drinker.
I think it is a wise move for Jiuzhou Technology to license semiconductor and chip technology to companies such as Nvidia and Korean Electronics.
I hope Mr. Gu can break through the blockade as soon as possible, sunbathe on the beach in Hawaii, watch models catwalk, and live a free and unrestrained life in Las Vegas. That is a life of freedom and enjoyment. "
——Hawaii user.
The night owls of the young people in Daxia perfectly overlap with the working hours of overseas users. The comments of these overseas IP users have been liked, disliked, commented and reported in various ways, but their popularity is getting higher and higher.
Netizens are talking a lot, and the hostility in online public opinion is getting stronger and stronger.
…
November 2nd.
Helicopters arrived one after another on the Gobi Desert in Anxi Province.
The ground looks like gravel and dust, but it is as solid as a cement stone road.
Gu Qing jumped out of the helicopter and stamped the ground beneath his feet.
The solid feedback calmed his mind a lot.
An Hetang said very understandingly on the side: "They old guys like to show off their power to others, whether they are new recruits or bosses.
Don't care. "
Gu Qing shook his head at Anhetang and waved to the driver.
"Everyone is arrogant, and my recent reputation has indeed been somewhat bad. Moreover, he is not a project participant and does not know the situation. If he can deliver us safely, he has guaranteed the completion of the task. I understand."
Anhetang nodded slightly.
He now faced Mr. Gu with only awe and no thought of "complete the mission".
After arriving at their destination, Gu Qing and his party went through another round of inspections and met the long-lost Mr. Zheng.
"You have declined so many times and you still don't want to come. Hahaha.
How is the scenery on the Gobi Desert? "
Mr. Zheng was wearing a military uniform, with a weathered face but full of energy, patting the young man in front of him on the shoulder.
Gu Qing felt the force coming from his shoulder, and felt that if he were a sub-healthy white-collar worker who stayed up late all the time, he would probably be in pain for several days after receiving these blows.
He smiled at Mr. Zheng and said: "Touring this vast Gobi desert from the perspective of a helicopter, the vast scenery really makes people feel open-minded.
Zheng jaingjun, you are also old and strong. "
Hearing Gu Qing's angry voice, Mr. Zheng nodded happily.
"For today's exercise, not only our internal reporters came, but also reporters from Xiahua News Agency followed up and reported on it. By then, you may have to be forced to stay in the rear."
“Well, that’s as it should be, I understand.
After all, I am still the profiteer who sells technology. If I appear in this military exercise, I am afraid some people will not be able to sleep. "
Gu Qing's answer caused Mr. Zheng to laugh again.
"Hahaha, actually you won't attend, but when the video of our exercise is spread, many people will still be unable to sleep."
