Technology: Breaking the monopoly global hegemony

Chapter 2512 Old Friend
In a sense, artificial intelligence can betray the original intentions of its creators and can also have its core logical framework altered by higher-level technologies without its knowledge.

Therefore, like human guards, robot guards do not possess absolute loyalty.

Over the years, Gu Qing's views on "kindred spirits" have also changed.

Or rather, when he brought bionic mechanical prosthetics to large-scale commercial use, he had already subconsciously made a decision.

To imbue machines with a vibrant life through the human soul.

In other words, it involves transforming the most loyal elites, whose normal bodies could no longer sustain their survival, into special warriors who are encased in machinery and driven by machines.

Using neural sensors to remotely control mechs allows for multifaceted experiments on humanity's unique X-gene. While the combat mechs provided to the military are not controlled by neural sensors, they are the most "unadorned" war machines, serving as the most direct test of combat effectiveness.

Bionic mechanical prosthetics technology, on the other hand, involves collecting data day after day, year after year, on how well humans on Earth adapt to these prosthetics, as well as their ability to resist allergies and rejection agents.

With the addition of artificial intelligence control, combining these technologies will be the day when the full-scale technological development plan for the special mechanical legion is realized.

And on this day...

While the three robots of the Zhurong spacecraft were working diligently on Mars, and Zhang Tianhao, Yu Hongbin, and others were meticulously collecting and refining Helium-3 in lunar cities and bases, gathering data on the physical changes of all lunar landing personnel, Gu Qing managed to carve out five hours of free time amidst her busy schedule.

After arriving at the familiar base in the Anxi Gobi Desert aboard a low-altitude aircraft designed and developed by Kyushu Technology, Gu Qing was still quite moved by the welcome he received from military scientist He Zhifou and senior commander Zheng Feng, even though he did not see the familiar old man from his memory.

"I didn't expect it to be you two. It's been years. Professor He, how's your research progressing? Commander Zheng, your command of the upstream reservoir of Indigo is still fresh in the minds of many people in our company. It's truly amazing."

He Zhifou and Zheng Feng immediately sensed something unusual.

However, since Old Master Zheng has indeed retired for several years now, after they sensed something was amiss, they did not show it and instead received Gu Qing and his group as before.

Anhetang was essentially revisiting a familiar place. His gaze swept over a small hill in the distance of the base, but did not linger.

Zheng Feng, however, noticed An Hetang's gaze and took the initiative to say, "Mr. An, I heard that you used to break the 800-meter record. However, none of us expected that with the rapid improvement of national quality, the achievements we were once proud of can now only be considered as passing grades."

Truly, every generation produces its own talented individuals, each leading the way for hundreds of years.

Anhetang did not refuse to communicate with Zheng Feng, but nodded and said, "Yes, times need to progress. As long as we are stronger than others, we will not be bullied by pirates and thugs."

Upon hearing Anhetang's words, everyone else nodded slightly.

Afterwards, Gu Qing and his group underwent a rigorous security check and entered the core area of ​​the base.

In a very ordinary office, Gu Qing held a document in his hand, looking at the image of a young man's ferocious muscles and his mechanical skeleton gleaming with a cold metallic sheen, his eyes indifferent.

After Gu Qing had flipped through a few pages, He Zhifou explained from the side: "In the beginning, their bodies received second-generation military bionic mechanical prostheses and wore second-generation Titan Star bionic mechanical exoskeleton armor. Now they have all been upgraded to the fifth generation technology. The special alloys, biomembranes, and corresponding medicines customized and made by your Kyushu Technology have indeed achieved the greatest possible reduction of the rejection between the flesh and the metal."

"In the previous series of military exercises and actual combat, the Guardian Squad has consistently maintained an outstanding performance, and we are very grateful..." Gu Qing listened to He Zhifou's praise, but his heart was actually unmoved.

The current fifth-generation military bionic mechanical prostheses, exoskeletons, and inner armor all use new special alloys with high strength and high corrosion resistance that are truly capable of walking on the moon and Mars. Even if they are "attacked," they are much more solid than ordinary fortified positions.

Moreover, with the improved power and energy systems, it can carry more weapons...

After listening to the other party's praise, Gu Qing did not close the document, but asked directly, "Can we go see them now? After all, their cooperation period only lasts for one month."

The Guardian Squad has never been a military unit of the Great Xia Dynasty. From the beginning of the cooperation between the official government and Kyushu Technology to introduce mecha combat squads, the Guardian Squad was more like an instructor hired by the Great Xia government from Kyushu Technology, rather than a staff member.

Faced with Gu Qing's request, He Zhifou did not nod; he hesitated.

Although he has the authority, he is not the one truly in charge on their side today...

After hearing Gu Qing's words, Zheng Feng nodded readily: "Of course."

At this very moment, in the underground base.

Li Shan, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, slowly opened her eyes.

He looked at his teammates still fighting on the training platform not far away and said, "Stop for a bit, everyone. Someone might come to visit us later."

"who?"

Want to fight?

"A new mission?"

Although the team members had their own questions, they almost simultaneously stopped what they were doing and began to adjust their breathing while tidying up the training equipment.

A few dozen seconds later, Li Shan looked at the serious expressions of the team members in front of him as they prepared to step into the battlefield, and felt a lot of emotions.

So many years have passed, and he is truly exhausted now. However, he still decided to ask the team members for their true thoughts one more time. If anyone really wants to stay here, he will definitely not stop them.

As for whether the company will impose any restrictions on those who stay, he can only try his best to consider things within the limits of the rules.

He would never betray us, anyway.

"In one month, our five-year contract will end. I asked everyone what they thought before. Although everyone said they wanted to relax and leave, they haven't signed the agreement yet."

So, if you still want to stay in the team and continue to mentor the newcomers, you can talk to me or ask a specialist through the company's internal communication system... At least, as the team leader, I respect everyone's choices and won't stop you from making your own decisions.
