The factory director has a new skill every day, which has broken down the strategic deception bureau

"What? Made in China?"

Chen Jingshan and the others were so surprised that they all stood up.

Su Zhe analyzed, "Based on the analysis of the live stream clips and the source of the bear video, the drones were probably purchased by the Chechen troops from the Zhenxing Industry and Trade live stream."

"Then we'll proceed with the modifications..."

With a loud bang!

These words were like a thunderclap, leaving all the top researchers and senior technicians present completely blank.

A world-class problem that had baffled the entire staff of a national research institute was solved by a private company owner.

There are truly many hidden talents among ordinary people!

But... you're treating your livestream like a regular product, casually selling it to foreigners?

This is... absolutely outrageous!

Su Zhe: "Of course, this is just my guess... We still need to investigate the specific situation on-site!"

Chen Jingshan nodded: "Comrade Su Zhe, your analysis is correct. Then we'll leave the drone aspect to you!"

"After the meeting, you should immediately go to Shenzhen... to conduct an on-site inspection..."

Su Zhe: "Yes, Director!"

Chen Jingshan took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the shock and absurdity in his heart: "Now, let's move on to the second topic."

"It's... a research and development project about military-grade intelligent robot dogs."

After speaking, Chen Jingshan looked at Gao Kai, the head of the robot dog project: "What's the status of the investigation?"

Gao Kai holds a PhD in Robotics and Automation and has been deeply involved in the research and development of legged robots for fifteen years. He is a pragmatic research manager.

They are meticulous and rigid in character, strive for perfection in everything they do, have zero tolerance for errors in technology, and act conservatively and cautiously.

He places great importance on the stability of the underlying hardware and algorithms and is a leading expert in the field of military intelligent unmanned vehicles in China.

Gao Kai opened the dedicated project screen: "Director, colleagues."

"Currently, all the world's major military powers have entered the field of intelligent robot dogs. Countries such as the United States, Russia, the United States, and Germany have all increased their R&D investment by huge sums and started military adaptation modifications."

"Everyone predicted the future course of war: robot dogs will replace humans and take on high-risk tasks such as assault, mine clearance, reconnaissance, frontline supply delivery, and outpost defense."

"It is the core vanguard unit of the next-generation unmanned combat system, and the most critical link in the unmanned combat platform."

"Its strategic significance is no less than that of new types of drones."

A hint of helplessness and regret flashed across Chen Jingshan's eyes as he slowly spoke, "Yes."

"Several years ago, the United Nations convened a special meeting to develop legislation to control unmanned combat platforms worldwide."

"At that time, we took the initiative to propose a motion advocating that all countries in the world jointly restrain the research and development and deployment of autonomous lethal unmanned weapons and strictly control the militarization of unmanned weapons."

"But at the time, the US was extremely arrogant and publicly rejected our proposal, saying that unmanned weapons are an inevitable trend in future warfare and that whoever is weak deserves to be passively beaten."

They also mocked us for being complacent and fearful of the military changes of the new era.

"The rest of the Western countries have taken sides and echoed our proposals, completely ignoring them."

"The tide has turned, and many countries are making all their efforts. We have already lost our first-mover advantage, and now we must catch up with all our might and never fall behind again."

Gao Kai: "What the director said is absolutely right. There are currently three main directions for the development of military robot dogs worldwide."

"The first type is wheeled robot dogs, which is currently the main research and development direction of Western countries, led by the United States."

"The advantages are simple structure, low manufacturing cost, long battery life, fast driving speed, low algorithm threshold, and easy mass production."

"The disadvantages are extremely fatal: it has very poor terrain adaptability and is completely impassable in potholed mountains, trenches, scree areas, and muddy areas."

"It can only be used on plains and urban asphalt roads, but its effectiveness on the battlefield is too limited."

"The second type is tracked robot dogs, which is the main route promoted by Germanic countries and some Eastern European countries."

"The advantages are strong load-bearing capacity, better off-road performance than wheeled vehicles, stronger protection, and suitability for carrying heavy weapons and transporting heavy supplies."

"The disadvantages are insufficient mobility and flexibility, slow turning, bulky size, inability to move through narrow trenches and dense forest gaps, extremely high noise, and virtually zero concealment."

"The third type is legged robot dogs, which are bionic quadrupedal and bipedal robot dogs."

Gao Kai switched the screen projection to showcase several prototype bionic robot dogs: "These types of models represent the current ceiling in terms of research and development difficulty."

"Its advantages are irreplaceable, perfectly replicating the walking pattern of living organisms, adapting to all terrains, and allowing for unimpeded movement in mountains, mud pits, trenches, steep slopes, and gravel roads."

"Small size, low noise, and excellent concealment."

"It can be used for both individual soldier infiltration and reconnaissance, as well as for armed assaults, making it the only aircraft that can adapt to the entire battlefield."

"The only shortcoming, and also the biggest pain point, is that the dynamic balancing algorithm is extremely complex, the micro hydraulic balancing system is difficult to mass-produce, the anti-interference difficulty is extremely high, and the R&D cost and technical threshold are far higher than the previous two types."

"Currently, both the United States and Russia are secretly working on the development of a legged aircraft, but so far they have not been able to achieve military mass production and are only at the laboratory testing stage."

After speaking, Gao Kai turned to Chen Jingshan: "Director, considering the current needs of the domestic military industry, which research and development route should we prioritize?"

A brief silence fell over the meeting room as everyone's eyes were focused on Chen Jingshan.

After a moment of contemplation, Chen Jingshan said decisively, "Give up the short-term benefits of wheeled and tracked vehicles."

"Wheeled systems are too impractical, and tracked systems have too low a potential. Neither can adapt to modern warfare across all domains. Even if they are successfully developed, they will eventually be eliminated by the times."

"Although the foot-based system is the most difficult to develop, it also has the highest potential, best reflects the real and complex battlefield, and its future value is irreplaceable."

Gao Kai looked troubled: "Director, I have to tell the truth."

"The most difficult core challenge for legged robot dogs is the dynamic balance point, as they are prone to tipping over and losing control at high speeds and in complex terrain."

"This algorithmic problem has stumped even the top laboratories in the United States, and it will be difficult for us to make a breakthrough in the short term."

"I know how difficult it is," Chen Jingshan said firmly, "but we have no way out."

"Here's the arrangement, Gao Kai. You'll oversee the robot dog project team, which will be divided into three independent R&D groups: wheeled, tracked, and legged. All three groups will work on tackling technical challenges simultaneously, and an internal competition system will be implemented."

"The process will last for one month. After one month, a unified all-terrain field measurement and competition will be conducted. The best solution will be selected as the final national-level project proposal."

Gao Kai: "Okay, we'll arrange it right away..."

Subsequent meetings proceeded smoothly, finalizing several support plans for drones and robot dogs.

Half an hour later, the emergency defense meeting, which lasted nearly three hours, officially came to an end.

The attendees gradually left the venue.

Su Zhe packed up his laptop, went straight to the parking lot, and drove to the airport.

Su Zhe could no longer contain himself.

He wanted to see how the anti-jamming drone technology, which the research institute had spent countless resources trying to crack, ended up in Lin Tian's hands.

Subsequently, Su Zhe booked the earliest one-way ticket to Zhenxing Industry and Trade.
