Digital Life (Absolut01) - Chapter 172

[One hundred and seventy one.]

After several expansions, the Jinqiao factory area of

171 Digital Totem has become a very large building complex, including 6 large factories, an outdoor test field and a large public garden.

In the public garden, there is a very special place.

That is a very special road, this road is made up of countless stones with a length of a centimeter, a width of a centimeter and a height of a centimeter.

On some of the stones, the name of the product with the digital totem is engraved, and some are replaced by the marking pattern of the product, and the deep incisions are filled with red mineral pigments.

For some, the fonts are filled with blue paint, which are the names of some more important patents and the identities of the patents. Those patents and identities that have not been decrypted are replaced by a number first, and they will be replaced when the patents are decrypted.

Others are the names of employees who have made outstanding contributions to the company or brought special honors to the company, and their names are filled with golden paint.

All company executives, including Lu Zhenyu, never shy away from saying that this idea was learned from Microsoft.

Although slightly different.

Every employee of Digital Totem has the goal of being able to keep his name on this road. Perhaps, that does not mean that there will be more bonuses, although Digital Totem is never stingy in terms of bonuses.

Instead, it represents that his performance has been recognized by most people, and his efforts have brought honor to the company.

The red and blue stones are constantly increasing and are very stable, and the stones with only golden fonts are only 27 in total at present.

As a result, the digital totem did not announce any news.

No ceremony was held, and the sensation caused by the addition of 14 blocks of golden fonts was imaginable.

What surprised most of the employees who came to pay their respects was that these stones were not names, but a set of 18-digit numbers and letters.

This set of codes is not consistent with the 14-digit job number system that the Digital Totem Group now uses internally.

The 18 bits are usually the sn number of the product.

In this highly guarded and highly classified factory area, all employees.

Whether you have experience in the military or not, you know one thing.

That is to guess, but to keep silent.

Because, as everyone knows, Digital Totem is a very special company.

But there are still some people who guessed the general process of the incident. Among them are computer engineers and mechanics.

There are electricians and chemical experts, and they have all been involved in the process of making the 14 special spiders freely.

They may not remember all these complicated numbers, but when they call these spiders at work, they remember more or less the last few digits.

Linking these numbers together is enough.

And these people also understood more or less why Lu Zhenyu treated these 14 spider freemen as company employees.

Lu Zhenyu did not deliberately hide the news that Spider Freeman fought heroically in a certain operation and then was completely wiped out. This news was neither confirmed nor refuted, and it was quietly circulated in the factory.

but.

As with all rumors, the spiders’ kill numbers are being exaggerated.

All Digital Totem employees firmly believe that their spider freemen are the best warriors, and although these numbers cause some doubts, everyone also regards it as some kind of morale boosting need.

Similarly, the deeds of the Spider Freeman were before the military issued a ban.

It has also spread up and down the military.

The news came from the on-duty staff of the satellite ground receiving station, especially the first time it came with a clear code. After several changes of hands, almost the whole world received it. This is the most obvious evidence.

At the same time as the heroic deeds of the spider spread, another news also spread quietly, that is, about the problem of a traitor this time.

A serious internal investigation has quietly begun.

Lu Zhenyu did not personally take charge of the investigation. He knew that he was not someone familiar with this matter. The most likely reason he came to preside over the investigation was to miss the traitor.

And this time, the investigation involved is so wide-ranging.

The company knows the location of this operation, and there are not too many people who assist in this operation.

There are also many people in the Chen family who know about this.

The military and the security bureau may involve more local people.

After all, the small submarine is to be transported not too far from Mexico.

Plus the people who have completed the task come back.

That can only be done with the assistance of the military.

Therefore, the entire investigation was handed over to an investigation team including Chen Changru and Chen Kangru.

And Lu Zhenyu.

At this time, I am thinking about a very important issue.

That is, Spider Freeman has completely exposed his strength now, and the United States will inevitably see itself as a thorn in its side. How should we deal with this?

It is estimated that the United States will not explain the whole story, even to his allies. On the one hand, almost the entire military base was destroyed by such a small number of enemies. Such a shame really makes it difficult for the United States to Open your mouth.

On the other hand, there are so many leaks of technical information, many of which are related to US research on technical weapons.

They can certainly accuse digital totems of researching robotic weapons, but their own position is completely gone. In the leaked information, the United States itself is not only opening similar or even more exaggerated weapons, and even some of the United States itself proposes to oppose it. There is also a part of research material on biological and chemical weapons.

In addition to being much inferior to digital totems in the field of artificial intelligence, American robotics technology is basically no weaker than digital totems in other fields, especially in terms of joints, movement, and fire control.

After all, the traditional technological powers and technological powers have a very solid foundation.

However, it is inevitable that the United States is secretly stumbling itself, or acquiring technology through various unconventional channels.

The normal operation of the digital totem is not to worry about. At most, the United States will be affected a little, but anyway, apart from the headquarters, no branch has mastered any technology other than basic maintenance.

And the fourth-generation ground spider products have not even started to be sold in the market.

The divisions also did not start training courses for the repair and maintenance of the new generation of products.

In addition to directly sneaking into or storming the headquarters and factory area of the digital totem, there is no channel to obtain the complete intelligent core technology.

Even if you get it, what can you do?

Cracking the program can only lead to more and more serious consequences.

The tragic state of the poor military base is evidence.

Lu Zhenyu did not forget to add anti-cracking codes and invalid backdoor codes to the intelligent core of any product.

And the code of that invalid backdoor is one of the reasons why the high-level domestic officials, whether military or otherwise, continue to allow themselves to export a large number of smart products.

Anyway, that’s how things are, it depends on what the US is going to do.

To be honest, making things bigger doesn’t do them any good.

What worries Lu Zhenyu and the executives of Digital Totem even more is the reaction of their own high-level domestic leaders after the Spider Freeman showed their amazing potential this time.

Wouldn’t it be nice to keep such a powerful weapon in private hands?

Will there be any bad associations above?

Will it start to limit the display of digital totems or even start to take stronger actions?

Lu Zhenyu has no intention of confronting the state apparatus.

Anyway, the basic research is almost done now, and it is not far from the completion of my goal.

In any case, he will let himself hold on to that day.

And before that day comes, he will take various ways to maintain the digital totem.

Of course, that presupposes that someone has to act on the digital totem.

I don’t know if it was because Lu Zhenyu’s worries took effect, or because of something else.

Lu Zhenyu soon received a notice that the military was going to send someone to talk to him about something.

And this time.

It was actually a military delegation led by a major general.

High specs, not great news at this time.

“What are you afraid of?” Chen Changru asked curiously, looking at Lu Zhenyu, who looked disappointed.

“Afraid? I’m just afraid that your bosses don’t like me.” Lu Zhenyu said with a smile, showing a brisk smile at that moment, as if all his worries did not exist.

“Not pleasing to the eye? You don’t know how they compliment you. … Since you appeared, there have been fewer problems in ordering weapons. In the past, you thought that there were few things like plucking the wild goose? You The price of the spider is not much higher than that of armored vehicles. Now the General Armament Department is taking your products everywhere to lower prices. Although those are state-owned enterprises, they dare not do anything to their own people, but after all… the people involved If there are too many, it is easy to cause problems. Where can the world find such a clean arms dealer as you? Don’t give gifts, don’t compete for orders, don’t care about the price, let you keep the capital, and earn money from foreigners to support your own people?… These things are all for everyone It is obvious to all. The navy and the 6th Army are all ace troops who have given priority to equipping you with good things here. If someone above wants to do something to you, the voice below will not be able to stand it. You think, it is still Mu Xiu Yulin, the wind will definitely Destroy it? Not necessarily. Do you have some confidence in our leaders?” Chen Changru said lightly.

“Of course I would like to have this confidence. I hope so.” Lu Zhenyu shrugged and said.

“Don’t worry, who has ambition and who doesn’t, these are things that everyone can see. I think a lot. Is it useful?” Chen Changru continued.

“That’s fine. I hope this high-level military delegation will come this time. It’s for ordering something.”

The day before the military delegation came, Lu Zhenyu had already sent the information about the combat experience that the spiders sent before they died in action. sorted out.

All spiders on the production line have been upgraded.

When the military delegation arrived as scheduled, Lu Zhenyu did not raise the standard of reception for them because of his own worries.

And he himself maintained the old habit of not personally receiving any clients unless the other party asked to see him.

The reception work is still coordinated by the company’s administrative department.

However, the first thing the other major general did after he arrived at the factory was to find Lu Zhenyu.

His words were extremely courteous, expressing that he wanted to “seek” Lu Zhenyu.

The sloppy words and the strong reflection on a pair of glasses made the supervisor in charge of the reception forget that the other party was a major general for a while, and said: “Don’t bully me for being a poor language student in science and engineering.”

In the Chinese army, It seemed that there were more and more interesting soldiers. Lu Zhenyu knew about this when he knew that this major general named Li Tao was going to see him.

He smiled and thought.

Except for the epaulettes, Li Tao looked like a major general.

The moment he saw Li Tao, Lu Zhenyu almost thought he had seen Yang Weili in “The Legend of Yin Ying”. Apart from his unremarkable military uniform, his expression was simply…especially the kind that is rarely seen among Chinese people. I saw a bit of a sloppy academic temperament, even in the National Defense University, I rarely see such people.

Li Tao’s first reaction when he saw Lu Zhenyu was to give a very irregular military salute. That gesture made Lu Zhenyu wonder how this guy got out of the military academy.

“Hello. General Lu.” Li Tao said, then he took out a very small folded personnel order from his jacket pocket and handed it to Lu Zhenyu.

Lu Zhenyu glanced at it, and the above was extremely unclear. It seemed that he had just made up a reason to mention Lu Zhenyu, who was already a major colonel, as a major general.

However, as an active soldier, Lu Zhenyu was appointed as the division commander of a certain division in the reserve… Lu Zhenyu thought about it, and vaguely this division was composed of the veterans in the digital totem factory.

It’s just scattered in various branches in the entire East China region.

“What does this mean?” In addition to feeling the trust from above, Lu Zhenyu felt a little excited.

However, when Li Tao stood in front of him, he always had a feeling that this was not a fake order.

Li Tao seemed to see Lv Zhenyu’s doubts, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com scratched his head indecently, and said, “Let me introduce myself, I am the first mechanized test division of the 6th Army of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army who was just appointed. The division commander…. This time, I came to negotiate with you the composition of this division. In order to quickly enter the state, I brought the entire division with me… Uh, at least before the above did not recruit people from me, these It’s still my division.”

Lu Zhenyu rolled his eyes helplessly and said, “The first division of the test? … Can I ask, what does that do?”

“This…”, Li Tao said, “It’s just the face of it. I am very interested in the achievements of your spider free man, and want to form a division focusing on robots and intelligent weapons…. Because I was originally researching artificial intelligence and unmanned combat, it seems that both the rank and professional direction are correct, so I just You sent me here.”

Lu Zhenyu was taken aback.

He would never have imagined that such a result would actually happen. However, for a division dominated by mechanical troops, the investment cost is really astronomical.

“By the way, here are a few more letters for you. They asked me to bring them over to you, and they told me to tell you, well done, don’t worry.”

Lu Zhenyu glanced at the handwriting on the envelope and hurriedly took it over. , put it in his pocket.
