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

There is no moral integrity when selling out teammates, and it is usually quite sudden.

Originally, there were more than 600,000 well-equipped and well-trained main forces in the encirclement, and there were people outside the encirclement to support them. The north-south attack might allow more than 60% of the troops to successfully break out, and the German army would also pay a considerable price in the exchange of fire.

The result was that Belgium notified its allies one hour in advance of its sudden surrender, and the Allied forces were directly reduced by 20 troops.

Britain had decided to break out together, and when it saw Belgium running away, it suddenly decided to retreat from Dunkirk.

As a result, the main forces of Britain and France basically gave all their heavy equipment to Germany without even fighting. After that, France, seeing that there was no hope, immediately followed Belgium's example and lay down.

Therefore, the first phase of the Western Front campaign during World War II was actually very dramatic, because the seemingly unbreakable alliance was not strong for even a minute.

Perhaps it is for this reason that France and Germany have abandoned the European Union, which they have been accustomed to for decades, and are promoting the military, economic and political integration of Germany and France at all costs.

Fortunately, the progress was quite smooth. The war dividend stimulated the economy, a large number of new jobs significantly reduced the unemployment rate, and everyone said that life was getting better and better.

This is the worst of times, but also the best of times.

However, this Franco-German integration is irritating the sensitive nerves of the United States. A new round of trade war has begun, and Camp David has begun to crack down on "Made in Europe" on the grounds of national security.

Economic competition and friction between Europe and the United States are not new; trade wars have broken out between the two sides many times in the past.

In the past, neither side questioned trade rules, handled foreign trade issues in accordance with the rules of the World Trade Organization, and basically obeyed the organization's rulings.

However, the situation is completely different now. The United States does not care about the rules set by the WTO at all and has forcibly increased tariffs of 25% on EU exports.

European countries believe that as an ally of the United States, Europe cannot pose a threat to U.S. national security. The U.S. crackdown on European manufacturing on the grounds of national security will seriously impact the basis of mutual trust between Europe and the United States.

Both sides are still maintaining the most basic decency and not exposing the tense relationship to everyone.

Chapter 128 Character

As the second combat test of the "Metis" autonomous doll unfolded, Raphael's mood of playing badly gradually grew.

Now she just wanted to find something else to do.

However, the base commander did not immediately approve her leave because of the possibility of test intelligence leakage.

More importantly, similar projects by the Russians chose to conduct combat tests at a similar time, which inevitably raises doubts.

By the time she got the permission to go out, she heard that the practical test was not going well and was stopped halfway.

Lingyin, who accompanied her out, pouted in dissatisfaction and planned to go back.

"Why did you turn around?" Lingyin looked at Raphael in surprise, "What a surprise."

"Oh, you don't want to go out?"

"I thought you were going back."

"We can't solve the performance problem of the core components. Even if I use my real ability, Metis will only become a killing machine that doesn't distinguish between friend and foe."

"How bold of you to say that." Lingyin laughed.

Such indiscriminate killing tools could have been produced more than ten years ago.

It is only necessary to provide recognition algorithms for humans and various ground equipment to achieve indiscriminate attacks. If you want to provide friend-or-foe identification function, you can install an friend-or-foe identification module.

If this is the only result they want, it means that all previous investments have gone to waste. Those sacrifices seem meaningless, which highlights their cruelty and incompetence.

Because of Raphael, Lingyin knew a little about the development progress of the "Metis" application. Leipzig had the support of a supercomputer, and with strong performance, the performance of "Metis" was excellent.

When it is transplanted to a two-fist-sized mental unit, performance inevitably degrades severely.

Now the engineers at the base are wondering whether it is possible to separate the various functional modules of "Metis" and assign a separate "computing unit" to each processing module, since the performance of a single unit is seriously insufficient.

Then, a unified, global process communication mechanism is used to enable any module to communicate with other modules without distinguishing between local and remote.

The mental computing unit of "Metis" is a complete processor unit with independent data processing functions, which satisfies the autonomy of distributed systems.

In addition, Metis itself is a strongly coupled system composed of multiple modules, which means that even if the modules are split, its strongly coupled nature will not change.

Because the relationship between them is very close and the degree of interdependence is very high, changes in one side will directly affect the other side.

This idea is good, but it means modifying the existing humanoid design and putting in the various computing modules without affecting its normal functions.

"Don't think about it," suggested Raphael, who was strolling with him.

She didn't even think about the military tactical dolls anymore, but it was Lingyin who started thinking about these things. Indeed, she should be worried, but Raphael should be even more worried.

Lingyin felt that Raphael was a little too trusting of "people" recently. She sighed and turned to observe Raphael's outfit today.

Raphael was not too adventurous in his appearance. His chestnut hair was not noticeable in the crowd, but it was a little long. He was thin and had no curves, and his shoulders were so slanted that it made people wonder if he really had shoulders.

His eyes are a little strong, and his lips are not thick, so he seems to have a cold expression all the time.

In fact, she is more calm and composed than indifferent. Of course, she also has a gentle and gentle side.

Raphael could get angry and laugh, but Lingyin had never seen her yelling.

She often wears a hair tie on her left hand, which seems to be a habit she inherited from her life in Kyoto. Suzune is casual and lazy, and passers-by often mistake her for a bad girl.

Lingyin took off her sun protection jacket and tied it around her waist. Raphael glanced at it and thought of the past, and said jokingly, "Where is the bad girl?"

"You'll roll up your skirt to make your body look better proportioned." Lingyin immediately said, "Your behavior is three times worse than mine!"

She had seen Raphael once, with his sleeves rolled up and the hem of his uniform outside his skirt. Lingyin couldn't wear clothes so sloppily.

"No way."

Raphael kicked the small stones on the roadside, observed the people coming and going on the street, and asked casually:

"In fact, when you see Metis moving, you will feel anxious that it will squeeze out your living space, right?"

Lingyin was embarrassed by Raphael's words. She felt the insecurity brought by being rootless, so she was worried and afraid. She snorted and nodded.

“The hostility we feel in Frankfurt is felt everywhere here.”

"Yes, I can understand that," Raphael said.

The researchers and soldiers at the research base treated her as a tool, just as she had experienced in the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, and with the same malicious intent as they viewed her as an enemy.

They thought they were being very reserved, but in fact Raphael saw everything.

The analysis of micro-expressions and habitual movements was very effective, allowing her to read many interesting things from them. For example, when a researcher talked to her, he would always avoid Raphael's sight and avoid eye contact with him.

Direct eye contact can create subconscious instability. When someone wants to hide something he doesn't want others to know, he will actively move his eyes and often prompt the other person to change his behavior.

The researcher would find a new topic, thus preventing Raphael from delving into the original conversation.

Because they don't realize that their subconscious mind is threatened.

Or, I was frightened.

But what’s also interesting is that when she and Harry are in private, Harry’s body language and eye gaze will reveal strong hints: I like this “person” very much.

It was very different in the early days, when Harry was filled with the same concerns about artificial intelligence as those of an extreme paranoid patient.

She thought that his unhappy marriage must have caused his change.

Some people often take off their glasses during meetings or conversations, pinch their noses or scratch behind their ears, and then put their glasses back on. This is not thinking, but trying to adapt to the environment.

But it's also possible that they're comforting themselves when they take their glasses off.

It is not uncommon to see someone put their glasses in their mouth while thinking - at this point, the only difference between a frame of glasses and a pacifier is that milk will not be sucked out of the glasses.

Some people use it as a baton to emphasize their point, while others use the frames to create novelty and attract others' attention.

In short, the knowledge he gained from the FBI database helped Raphael gain a deep understanding of the "good" and "bad" of human beings for the first time from the DARPA researchers.

In the days when the Internet was still available, Raphael hacked into many online treasure troves of knowledge, which is another glorious history.

Chapter 129 Project Progress

The sky gradually darkened, which meant that today's leisure time was over.

The management of the humanoid research base is much stricter than that of a regular military base. Fortunately, the relaxation time is not limited to the base, otherwise it would be no different from being in prison for an ordinary person.

Raphael turned the steering wheel lightly and drove into the empty parking space in the base parking lot with familiarity. Although the parking space was clearly reserved for senior management officers, she didn't care about such trivial matters.

"Someone is going to be mad tomorrow," Lingyin warned.

"Won't he make other people angry?"

Lingyin was speechless for a moment. Forget it. Raphael loves to argue about this. If you leave her alone, she will calm down soon.

As soon as they walked into the entrance of the base's administrative building, they saw several people coming out. She recognized one of them as a humanoid engineer who was in charge of mass production of humanoids.

Lingyin went to him twice for the supply of engineering materials that she was responsible for.

"Hello, Colonel Javier," Lingyin took the initiative to greet him, "Is there any new progress? If there are any changes in production materials, we can handle it for you immediately."

"It's under discussion. There's no need to change it for now. Anyway, Lieutenant, I'll need your care in the future."

"Thank you for not causing me any new trouble," Lingyin said.

"What trouble? We engineers are aware of the trouble you have and will try not to adjust the existing supply plan.

Yesterday he said: If we continue to produce it like this, it will be the most mature design; but tomorrow it may become that the performance is not enough and we need to add computing units to meet the needs of AI operation!

It's like hitting the brakes when you're going full throttle. Goodbye, I'm off to the design studio at the factory."

"Going to the studio now?"

"Of course!" Javier said, "Since the actual combat drill found deficiencies, we should go back and revise them. We should hurry up."

“I hope there won’t be too many changes.”

"It's hard to say. 'Metis' requires a lot of computing resources, and I don't know how much is needed to meet the needs. But as for the mind unit itself, there is no problem with its design concept. The key lies in how to improve its performance in the future. Our current solution is a distributed system, using quantity to make up for the lack of performance."

Lingyin didn't know whether to be happy or sad after hearing this. The poor performance of the "Metis" military autonomous humanoid was due to its insufficient core performance, which was of course exciting.

But the performance problem will be solved sooner or later. When that day comes, their survival will become the most pressing issue.

These were the serious matters she had been thinking about for some time.

"Really?" she said.

"Regarding the modification of the body, we will definitely try to keep it as original as possible... I assure you on the basis of my reputation as the chief engineer of the Army Materiel Command."

Lingyin pushed the hair out of her eyes and said with an expression that didn't seem to be serious: "No, that's too serious, Colonel."

"You don't have to be so respectful. Just call me Javier. But I am serious about this matter."

Javier was well aware of the logistical troubles. Their engineering department had to modify the technical specifications and material details of the humanoid body every few days, and then the logistics supply department had to meet their wishes.

This is just a final assembly base and cannot produce original parts.

You can't be so absolute. If you want the laboratory to do the hand-rubbing, their engineering department can do the work and polish something.

Polishing parts after work is fine for emergency use, but if anyone thinks that "hand rubbing" is more reliable than standardized production, the entire engineering department from top to bottom will probably criticize that person.

"Thank you so much this time." Lingyin said with a smile.

"I won't bother you for now. I'm in a hurry to go back."

"Well, see you next time."

After Lingyin watched the head of the engineering department leave, the smile on her face immediately disappeared.

The speed at which his expression changed made Raphael, who was standing by, feel terrified. This was completely different from the fear he felt when communicating closely and friendly with the enemy using various firearms.

Suddenly, Lingyin grabbed Raphael's hand.

"This is not home, be careful." Raphael whispered.

"Don't worry, no one cares about us."

Lingyin squeezed Raphael's palm and said, "Everyone is so busy, who cares about such a small matter? Besides, there are only military police in the guard room, and there are only two of them..."

At the same time that Raphael was trying to persuade Lingyin not to be so bold, a voice came from inside.

The two of them stopped fighting and walked up side by side. Lingyin, who had been so jumpy just now, immediately calmed down, and her reaction was similar to Raphael's.

The man's voice could be heard.

After walking up, Lingyin finally came out of her stress-like tension. It was two non-commissioned officers from the administrative building who were talking, but the content was related to the management of the base.

This made Lingyin, who usually didn't come, think that a big leader was coming.

"Pfft..."

Raphael couldn't control his emotions for a moment, and his eyebrows curled up into a smile following the joyful voice. Today he saw the long-lost fun.
