Jiang Chen had said a long time ago that Future Group stood on the shoulders of giants.
In the design of electronic pilot AI, Lilith, as the strongest artificial intelligence, helped a lot. It could even be said that 60% of the credit belonged to her alone, and only the remaining 40% belonged to all the researchers in the Future Military Artificial Intelligence Technology Laboratory.
Military intelligence was the major trend in the future and the main direction of Future Military's development.
Not only electronic pilots, but also more flexible battlefield robots, these projects were all on the research and development list of Future Military. Even in the laboratory of Future Military, there were already AI soldiers that could skillfully use weapons, vehicles, and terrain to fight. However, the high cost and poor cost-performance ratio made it impossible to move from the laboratory to the frontline battlefield.
However, Jiang Chen was still extremely certain of one thing.
In the not too distant future, the war of flesh and blood would eventually be replaced by bursting electric sparks.
…
The fourth day of the defense exhibition was still held at the temporary airport.
From the S400 to the Hongqi 15 anti-aircraft missiles, all kinds of thick and long anti-aircraft missiles were lined up on both sides of the runway. Compradors of various countries commented on the missile launchers and exchanged weapon performance and price issues with the military sales staff.
As Jiang Chen expected, the defense exhibition had developed into a wrestling match between Russian military enterprises and Hua military enterprises. The battlefield of competition even had a trend of spreading from arms to supporting facilities.
The celebration banquet was held in advance. From today on, Future Military would start to be a bystander. Therefore, Jiang Chen, as the president of Future Group, did not appear at the exhibition and was replaced by Ling Tao, the CEO of Future Military.
Originally, Jiang Chen planned to take some time to go to Coconut Island and move the accumulated supplies to the apocalypse, but he didn't expect a rare guest to come to his door.
"What, looking at your surprised expression, you don't welcome me?" Standing outside the door, Ye Qinghua looked at Jiang Chen with a smile.
Not much changed from when he saw him more than a year ago. The old man was still so healthy and didn't show any signs of aging.
"Of course not." Jiang Chen laughed and gestured to the door inside the house. "Please come in."
What surprised Jiang Chen was that Ye Qinghua, who hadn't contacted him for a long time, actually came to visit him in person.
Seeing that there were guests, Ayesha brewed a cup of tea for each of them and went to the second floor.
Coincidentally, Natasha, who had just finished washing up, stretched her back and walked downstairs. She was slightly stunned when she saw Elder Ye, but she immediately greeted him generously. When she passed by Jiang Chen, like a wife about to go to work, she leaned over and kissed Jiang Chen on the cheek. At the same time, in a voice only the two of them could hear, she quickly said, "Why is he here?"
After Natasha got up, Jiang Chen responded to her with a helpless look, "I don't know."
Today was a working day, and Natasha had to report to the embassy. As for Xia Shiyu, she was never late, so she went to the building early in the morning. As the door closed, only Jiang Chen and Elder Ye were left in the living room.
Elder Ye blew the tea leaves floating on the hot tea as he looked at Jiang Chen with a smile.
"Mr. Jiang's villa is quite lively."
"Haha, not at all." Jiang Chen smiled humbly.
"I heard that today is the highlight of the exhibition. Didn't you go to the exhibition site?"
"We don't want to sell our air defense system, and I'm not interested in other companies' air defense systems, so I asked Lingtao to look after it for me."
"The way I see it, it's not that you don't want to sell it. It's just that you can't find a place to sell it," Ye Qinghua scolded with a smile.
"If you want to understand it that way, it's not wrong." Jiang Chen touched his nose and lied through his teeth. "But I prefer to call it an air defense system that has not been developed for the time being suitable for the overseas market."
What Elder Ye said was indeed one of the reasons. The laser anti-missile system itself was a very cutting-edge technology, and Future Military hadn't mastered it for a long time. At present, there was indeed no suitable place to eliminate it. Selling the anti-missile system intact would weaken the strategic deterrence of Celestial Trade.
"As expected! Look at you guys … It's fine if you're selling drones and exoskeletons with sensitive technology castrated. I can't really say anything, but you're selling a castrated version of a rifle to fool people. Isn't your business a little too dishonest? " Ye Qinghua looked at Jiang Chen and complained bitterly, as if he, the diplomat who had retired from the front line, was at a disadvantage.
On the first day of the exhibition, Hua purchased a lot of S1 kinetic skeletons from Future Military, including the Scythe drone and the supporting S1 rifle. If it weren't for the fact that the S1 rifle could be connected to the kinetic skeleton and the digital helmet's auxiliary aiming function, no one would be willing to buy a castrated version of the light weapon.
"We just distinguish the military version from the private version," Jiang Chen argued. "Just like your Type-95 and Type-97, one is for private use and the other is for external sale."
"I dare to say with my conscience that the difference between the Type-95 and the Type-97 is only the caliber of the ammunition. There is not much difference in performance. Do you dare to say with your conscience that the performance of the S1 and the Reaper rifle is the same?" Ye Qinghua glared at Jiang Chen.
"You didn't come to me just to complain about this, right?" Jiang Chen said helplessly.
"Don't take it to heart, I'm just talking nonsense." Elder Ye smiled and waved his hand. "Right, let's talk business. Are you interested in a deal?"
"What deal? You're not here to sell missiles, are you? "Jiang Chen picked up the teacup from the table and joked.
"Let me ask first, did you salvage the wreckage of the Uragano?"
Jiang Chen quietly took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and glanced at him.
"What do you want?"
For some reason, this kind and amiable smile seemed more and more like a sly old fox in his eyes.
"If you 'can't find it', you might as well sell it to us. You don't need those things anyway, right?" After talking so much nonsense, Ye Qinghua, the old fox, finally revealed the real purpose of his visit.
All countries were now researching the sixth-generation fighter, and Hua was certainly no exception. It was hard to say how far they had progressed, but if they could get a ready-made sixth-generation fighter as a reference, it would undoubtedly be of great help to the sixth-generation fighter being developed.
"That's all," Jiang Chen sighed and waved his hand. Jiang Chen sighed and waved his hand. "Just for that broken plane, you came to me, the Russians also came to me, and even the Germans came to me … How about this, I'll get someone to scan the drawings of the Hurricane and send them to your embassy? I won't charge you money here. You can buy another 10,000 kinetic skeletons here, and I'll give you the blueprint as a gift. How about that? "
"You can … directly scan the blueprint?" Ye Qinghua was stunned.
"Why not?" Jiang Chen smiled, crossed his legs, and leaned against the sofa. "Don't even mention scanning the blueprint, you can 3D print a new one with the blueprint."
Ye Qinghua was silent.
After a long silence, he suddenly asked.
"I don't understand. With your technology, it's not too easy to develop the sixth-generation fighter, but it shouldn't be too difficult. Why are you not interested at all?"
"For someone who has conquered the ocean, you can ask him why he doesn't study canoes," Jiang Chen replied with a smile. "Then let me ask you, why must I study the sixth-generation fighter?"
