Eh? Do you also want to try the iron fist of the humanoid girl?

"Water is a natural solvent and a shield. ELID radiation levels in atolls and remote archipelagos remain low after nine years."

"This only means that they are not visited by radiation cumulonimbus clouds."

"Yes, I didn't patronize you, you're right."

Ah yes, yes, everything you said is correct, Eric doesn't want to waste time on this topic.

The issue of collapse fluid entering the ocean is not only a highly controversial topic in academia, but it is also something that people can argue about all day long without feeling tired.

He felt that "Raphael" deliberately brought up this topic in order to make him forget the original topic in the debate.

If anyone continues to talk about her topic, it might be dark before they come to their senses. Eric has had this experience before, as he had a passionate conversation with netizens on a forum.

Serious political practice always talks about action programs and tactical guidelines, which will have a definite impact on actual actions, but key politics is not the case.

Keyboard politics is the best aphrodisiac for men. It is meaningless except wasting time and will make people become extreme.

So, when he posted his ID to refute his accusation, not only did the post disappear quickly, but he was also called into the office by his superior and severely scolded for four hours.

The feeling of living day by day like a year is still fresh in my memory.

Eric quickly came out of his sadness over his old age and said, "Let's get back to the Pearl Harbor Shipyard..."

Unexpectedly, Asuka refused to give in and ignored Eric's voice, continuing:

"If you look at the number of ELID radiation sickness visits in Hawaii, it's not a very habitable place.

发病率相较于30年之前，确诊数量在20-30年间只有4例。光是在2038年上半年，上报患者人数就到达了381人。”

"They are all patients with mild symptoms, and they can be relieved and cured with anti-ELID treatment. This number is completely insignificant compared to the Midwestern United States."

Eric finished speaking in one breath, took a deep breath and continued:

"Then again, we are having trouble expanding the repair shipyard at Pearl Harbor."

"Equipment or manpower? As for manpower, I'm sorry, Metis's movement efficiency is very slow. It's not easy for it to move and act according to human instructions.

Again, if you want to improve production efficiency immediately, just go to Russia and import general industrial robots!"

"It's the equipment! Not work efficiency!" Eric put his hand on his forehead and felt the blood vessels in his forehead beating violently.

"what is the problem?"

"We've lost almost all of our access to the Pacific Ocean because of pollution along the West Coast."

"I see what you mean." Fei Niao thought for a moment and said, "Precision equipment uses large transport aircraft; large parts use cargo ships. We can start from Florida and go through the Panama Canal to Hawaii; the second option is to go around Cape Hope in Lagos."

"Then the only way is to go to the Cape of Good Hope."

Eric's voice sounded relaxed.

"It seems that the equipment is too heavy."

"Well, gantry cranes that can be used in aircraft carrier construction. The Panama Canal is barely functioning, but the Panamanians no longer have the ability to maintain the waterway."

"So, what does this have to do with me?" Asuka finally asked her question.

"I personally hope you will go to Hawaii and assist us in the renovation of the Pearl Harbor shipyard."

"His~~"

Asuka first took a deep breath, and the surging heat emitted by the high-intensity operation of his mind core suddenly dropped by 1°C.

"Don't you have anyone else?" She said sarcastically, "There's no time. The army is keeping a close eye on this place. They hope to see the second version of the 'Metis' autonomous humanoid as soon as possible."

"This is troublesome."

It was more than a hassle. Pearl Harbor had to accommodate six battle groups. Two aircraft carriers could not dock until the transformation was completed.

However, she could only say in her heart that she should believe in human wisdom.

Chapter 126: On the Organization of Humanoid Troops

After Raphael evaded General Eric, he did not take what he heard seriously. Instead, he went straight back to his small home in the base and immediately analyzed the data collected from the combat experiment.

When she thought of Metis's first appearance, her eyes went dark.

Before getting the new AI core, she, like other human researchers or engineers, could only work in a snail shell, squeezing out the performance of the 1.0 version of the mind core while optimizing "Metis".

However, her efforts are likely to be in vain.

Although letting AI optimize for AI will definitely produce better results, given the suspicious nature of humans, they will never adopt the version provided by Raphael.

However, Army Colonel Nelson was very proactive. Without knowing the truth, he repeatedly came to her to discuss the personnel and equipment composition of the future Army's smallest combat unit.

Everyone agrees that humans must command autonomous humanoids. Although Raphael is an autonomous humanoid, he can fully understand the concerns of humans.

To her, a self-disciplined humanoid out of control is equivalent to trouble.

The current point of contention between the two is whether to equip each squad with professional humanoid repair engineers, because after autonomous humanoids replace ordinary soldiers, they will become the only source of combat power for the squad.

So, in this case, humanoid repair engineers are the only source of restoring humanoid combat effectiveness in front-line battles.

He cannot repair severely damaged humanoids, but he can restore them to a usable state through temporary means during battle, such as removing usable parts from the damaged humanoids and repairing them, so as to maintain the combat effectiveness of the autonomous humanoid unit as much as possible.

Nelson took over the role of the team's medic.

He thinks that humanoid repair engineers should be equipped with corresponding battlefield repair tool kits, and then equipped with lightweight individual self-defense weapons PDW, such as submachine guns like MP7 or P90, and equipped with defensive grenades to enhance their self-defense capabilities.

After the battle begins, the humanoid repair engineer must follow the squad leader, that is, the humanoid commander, and provide him with cover. He must also find damaged humanoids to repair during the advance.

"It's impossible. You are asking too much of the 'humanoid repair engineer'." Raphael said.

"Ah... you're right," Nelson said. "An engineer is an engineer, and the deputy captain is the deputy captain. No one can provide logistical maintenance while covering the captain and doing some command work. I guess only Superman can do it."

He looked visibly frustrated.

"It seems that battlefield maintenance can only be done by specialized recovery teams..."

"You want to increase the status of soldiers in the system, which is correct, but you are going in the wrong direction."

"what do you mean?"

"We all know that, apart from special forces such as the Rangers, Green Berets and Delta, conventional Army squads are usually composed of two fire groups. The most basic infantry squad tactics are that fire group A covers fire group B and they move forward alternately.

This method is actually very convenient for command. The captain only needs to control each team leader. But this requires a good team of non-commissioned officers, which means that it is not enough to rely on the squad leader alone. "

"I think I understand what you mean." Nelson said immediately: "We should improve the level of the commander of the humanoid combat unit, so as to increase his status in the team and ultimately achieve an indispensable effect."

In the current environment, the army's team cohesion and combat effectiveness come from the quality of NCOs. When they remove the influence of team cohesion, the quality of NCOs becomes very important.

After all, the squad and platoon levels do not involve too many combat ideas and system aspects.

Raphael and Nelson didn't know how courageous the military was and what effect "Metis" would ultimately achieve.

If the final effect of "Metis" is still stupid and silly, they believe that the elimination rate of human soldiers will not increase too terribly.

If it can reach a level like Cortana, it won’t matter whether the grassroots front-line combat troops have human commanders or not.

From the current perspective, Raphael feels that one human soldier taking care of two "Metis" autonomous combat dolls is the limit, and one-on-one is the best allocation.

步兵小队构成就变成了：队长x1；A火力组长+士兵+人形+人形（共4）；B火力组组长+士兵+人形+人形（共4），总共5人类4自律人形。

The weapons team consists of the captain and two machine gun teams. If reinforcement is needed, the autonomous combat dolls' load-bearing capacity can be used to carry two M2HB heavy machine guns.

Each team consists of a human leader and three humanoid shooters. Two automatic combat dolls are responsible for carrying the gun, tripod and ammunition, and the human shooters carry assault rifles and are responsible for giving orders to the machine gun dolls.

The main human gunner is responsible for setting up the machine gun, and the two human ammunition handlers and assistant gunners are responsible for setting up the ammunition boxes and loading the ammunition belts.

After the battle begins, the two assistant shooters will not only provide ammunition, but also be responsible for keeping watch on both sides of the human shooters. When the ammunition is exhausted, the heavy machine gun team will find cover and wait for ammunition resupply.

When necessary, the team leader can lead the team into conventional combat.

Then the platoon becomes a structure consisting of a platoon headquarters, three squads and a weapons squad.

In the units directly under the company headquarters, the configuration of the anti-tank support team is similar to the personnel composition of the weapons squad. Human soldiers are in charge, and autonomous humanoids are responsible for the actual operation of the weapons.

The profession of engineer can only be undertaken by humans. At present, or in the near future, "Metis" does not have the ability to store and bury explosives, remove mines, etc.

Essentially, "Metis" is still very stupid, and its reaction speed is terribly slow.

Of course, this is the result of a simple replacement based on the existing organizational structure. If this plan is implemented, the final result will only be to strengthen the grassroots firepower.

Then it becomes an infantry company consisting of three infantry platoons, an anti-tank squad, a fire support unit and a company headquarters squad, including autonomous humanoids, with a total number of about 145 people.

There are only 9 people in the company headquarters, but it is equipped with 10 mine-resistant vehicles, 5 Hummers, two 5-ton trucks, 2 M10 heavy machine guns, 40 10 grenade launchers, and 16 medium general-purpose machine guns. It is obvious that the company headquarters is the equipment depot for the entire company.

Excluding the vehicles used by the company headquarters and the fire support team, at most only 1.5 platoons can be accommodated, and the rest of the people all sit in the cargo bed of a 5-ton truck.

In addition to transporting supplies, the trucks are also used to transport soldiers who cannot fit into various combat vehicles.

Raphael estimated that the performance of this 5-ton truck would soon become insufficient because the weight of the military autonomous humanoid was a bit beyond imagination.

Chapter 127 The Best Times

Rafael and Nelson's private discussion was just for fun, and no one can tell what the future will be like.

Those are simple substitutions with no real meaning.

What's more, the current military autonomous humanoids have very poor performance. Compared with human soldiers who have received formal training, they are only more durable and fearless of death.

Humans can also be fearless and brave, otherwise there wouldn’t be such a phrase as “facing death with equanimity”.

It was at this time that an event occurred in the Franco-German alliance that seemed calm but was actually of great significance.

Germany and France, without regard to the EU framework, jointly signed the African Resources Development Act, which came into effect on January 40, 1.

This bill is bound to stir up new bloody storm.

The African Resources Development Act is intended to encourage capital to go to Africa for development. The only restriction is that capital cannot participate in the development and exploitation of proven and discovered mineral resources.

These regulations only protect the interests of owners of proven resources, but do not restrict capital entry.

Of course, this bill is not only promoting large-scale development in the resource sector, but also a large number of companies focusing on agricultural reclamation are entering Africa to "pan for gold."

What prompted the introduction of this bill was the successive victories of the German-French coalition in Algeria and the "Northern Lights" incident in 35.

Just as the German-French coalition forces swept through the Algerian army, an exciting piece of news came out: a certain company's oil exploration team discovered a new oil field with an estimated reserve of 2 million tons, equivalent to about 14 billion barrels of crude oil.

Although the production schedule was nowhere in sight, the company's stock price soared that day.

This is good news.

In modern society, chemical products are everywhere, from the fertilizers used by farmers, to the plastic parts in cars, to the synthetic fiber clothes people wear, to various food additives in daily life, to every kind of furniture and home appliances, and even on military weapons.

After large amounts of investment entered the market, various jobs began to increase steadily, and Germany and France were able to reap the benefits of the war.

The British Isles next door feel disgusted. The policy of stirring up trouble is not very effective, and since they voted to withdraw from the EU in the early years, they can't intervene and get a share of the pie.

If the United States did not need to take Britain as a bridgehead in Europe, it would have abandoned this damn thing long ago.

Due to strategic contraction, the United States has turned its attention to the development of Canada and Latin America. Although the large-scale development of North Africa is enviable, the reserves of oil and natural gas in Latin America are also amazing.

Rather than sending more troops to North Africa, it is better to digest the food in our stomachs.

No matter how hard the United States lobbied, the president and Congress were fairly unanimous in their opinions and had no plans to intervene further in Africa.

The only military move was probably the African Theater Command, which moved from Germany to Djibouti to maintain the U.S. military presence in Africa.

Even such a small move allowed France to express its dissatisfaction through the EU.

Although the U.S. military has withdrawn some troops from Europe because of the previous war, in fact, the U.S. troops stationed in Europe are still the most powerful among many countries.

In addition, the economic relationship between the United States and the European Union cannot be explained in just a few words.

Past history has proven many times that this kind of loose alliance is not reliable at all. Even if the two sides now have the intention of decoupling, it has not yet reached the point where the two sides can compete with each other.

Perhaps the EU plus the UK plus Russia are no match for the United States.

If there is no leader with absolute strength in a loose alliance, almost every teammate will choose to defect at any time for their own interests.

For example, after Napoleon's expedition to Russia failed, the friendly forces almost directly turned into the enemy forces.

For example, during World War I, Italy was originally in the Allied camp, but Britain tempted Italy with the territory of Austria-Hungary, and Italy immediately defected.

The Anglo-French alliance during World War II was indeed very strong on paper. The combined area of ​​the British and French homelands and colonies was 50 million square kilometers, with a population of nearly 700 million. Even after Germany annexed Austria and Czechoslovakia, its population actually only had 90 million.

Moreover, Britain, France, and Poland and the Low Countries were allies that seemed very strong on paper, but they put on a disastrous performance in the first half of the 40s.

The Battle of France was actually quite dramatic, because the British Expeditionary Force and France's best-equipped army basically abandoned their equipment and retreated from Dunkirk without even fighting. The key point is that this kind of alliance is really a pitfall.
