Chapter 362: Betting on the Fate of the Nation
[Game Over]
After seeing the words 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 in 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.
This result was beyond everyone's expectations, and it also made them feel a little "disappointed".
It felt like,
I have been busy for so long...
But if I force it to continue, it will actually have no meaning except to increase the losses of the Red Army.
So they chose to seek the Red Army's opinion.
Surrender, admit defeat...
This option is too heavy.
In all previous exercises, active surrender is extremely rare.
Even those professional e-sports players will symbolically resist when facing desperate situations, waiting for the opponent 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 will only happen when the strength of both sides is seriously unbalanced, there is no possibility of winning at all, and the lives of the participating soldiers are threatened.
Whenever only one of these two situations occurs, they will 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, this exercise would definitely have ended 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 has lost face enough.
After making this decision, Wang Weisen left the Red Army command room alone through the back door.
Jian Jingsen wanted to ask him where he was going, but he swallowed his words and prepared to go back to the command room.
Wang Weisen could be a coward and avoid the problem,
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 command room of the exercise.
All irrelevant personnel had left in advance.
There were only three elders, more than a dozen military leaders, and the commanders and technical advisers of both sides of the exercise left in the hall.
However, Wang Weisen, the chief technical adviser of the Red Army, 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 he could save a little face by leaving in this way, 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.
Now that he is leaving with his tail between his legs, 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 has always been 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 have allowed them to see the next window for the country's economic take-off,
then today's exercise has 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 was turbulent for a hundred years, such a young hero emerged. It can be seen that China's national destiny is simply red!
"Congratulations, Dr. Kang, and thank you for giving such a great gift to the country's 76th anniversary."
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 exert your full 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 immediately 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."
"And if they are manufactured on a large scale, although the cost of a single piece of equipment will be greatly reduced, the entire industrial chain will be very large."
"For example, just to initially establish the quantum communication chip industry, it will take nearly one trillion, and the scale of the entire industry chain may be ten times larger than the current quantum communication chip."
"But 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, housekeeping 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 industry 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 more than 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 on the contrary,
but the GDP generated by the development of national defense is ultimately "virtual" for the economy.
The things produced by this industry in the early stage are all weapons and equipment, which cannot become the daily necessities of the people, and cannot improve everyone's living standards and quality.
It may even lead to rising prices and declining living standards due to the stagnation or even reduction of daily necessities.
But judging from the current international situation, this is actually a necessary sacrifice and abandonment.
As long as we tighten our belts 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,
By then, the whole earth will be his vegetable garden!
When you want to grow leeks, grow leeks. If you are tired of eating leeks, grow cabbage instead.
Are you still worried that your own people will not have enough food?
It doesn't exist at all!
