Report

"This agile robot will not weigh more than twenty kilograms. It is the ultra-light weight that allows them to move quickly and even have the ability to climb walls for a short time. If these robots are equipped with armor, they may be bulletproof, but the weight will also make them lose the purpose of being an agile robot."

The young man spread his hands and responded.

Everyone nodded in understanding. Indeed, this kind of robot was a harassment type at first glance. It did not even have a gun. It may not be of much use in regular encounters, but it could play a miraculous role in tactical applications such as counter-terrorism and surprise attacks.

"In addition to this model of XTN-004, there are several other models that can adapt to more complex situations. If you are interested, you can learn more about them. However, the meeting time is limited, so I won't list them here."

The young man pushed his gold-rimmed glasses and then dragged the progress bar to freeze the image on the first landing robot. "XTN-002, this may be more in line with your aesthetic standards, General Lawrence."

As he spoke, he looked at the soldier who had just asked about bulletproof. "This is a heavy-duty robot. It is beast-shaped, 231cm tall, 421cm long, weighs 420 kilograms, and has a maximum speed of 60 kilometers per hour. Don't be fooled by its weight. That's because we are aware of the problem of mobility. In order to allow the drone to carry as many people as possible, we have reduced a lot of unnecessary weight.

"For example, its shell is made of special carbon-fiber ceramic composite materials. Light weapons such as ordinary rifles and submachine guns cannot cause any damage to them. Only anti-material sniper rifles have the ability to harm them. However, it is difficult to paralyze XTN-002 with one shot unless the intelligent core in its body is hit.

"At the same time, the important components in XTN-002's body have a layer of 'metal jacket' to form a Faraday cage effect, which can effectively isolate electromagnetic pulse interference and prevent electromagnetic bomb attacks.

"Its vision system uses two types of infrared vision and traditional electronic vision. The two types of vision complement each other and can find any hidden target.

"As for the firepower system, XTN-002 uses the airborne M61Al 'Vulcan' 6-barrel rapid-fire machine gun by default. The series has calibers ranging from 5.56 mm to 25 mm. Under this firepower attack, any non-heavily armored target within 100 meters will not survive. Of course, you can also choose to carry other types of weapons, such as heavy weapons such as rocket launchers. It is very easy to change and you can even do it yourself."

As the young man spoke, a miniature holographic image of XTN-002 appeared out of thin air on the conference table in front of everyone. There was also a human body next to it for comparison.

The young man concluded. "Simply put, XTN-002 is a simple, efficient, and durable tactical weapon. It is like a tank among drones. It may not be able to dominate the plains like a tank, but it can adapt to complex and changeable urban combat, swamps, jungles, and other environments. Its mobility and flexibility are not comparable to a tank."

Everyone listened with fascination. Indeed, XTN-002 was like an enlarged version of an elephant, except that it had two Vulcan cannons as a firepower system. This kind of robot could completely replace tanks in more complex street battles, provided, of course, that its AI was really that intelligent.

"But until the end, XTN-002 has not experienced actual combat."

Another general who looked like a brown bear suddenly spoke.

"I'm sorry, that's because we haven't developed it for long and there are no suitable actual combat records."

The young man said helplessly, "We have gone through tens of thousands of tests. These test data sets can be consulted at any time when you are here. In terms of actual combat, there is only this rebel extermination operation in Niger. As you can also see, XTN-002 was only used by us to prevent this group of people from escaping. Before the actual battle, more than three hundred rebels in the entire base all surrendered.

"But you don't have to be disappointed because we will continue to accept commissions from various countries in Africa to use these robots to assess security and eliminate rebels. If you have the intention to buy, you can wait and see first. We're not in a hurry."

Everyone nodded matter-of-factly.

"Next, it's this humanoid robot."

The young man continued to drag the progress bar so that the screen showed the humanoid robot that killed the rebel general. "This is the most conventional model of XTN-003.

"XTN-003 inherits the design of Project Xingtian. As you can see, this form of drone is not as good as XTN-002 in terms of armor thickness and tonnage. In terms of agility, it's also not as good as XTN-004. Just like its positioning, this is a conventional combat robot."

As usual, the 3D image of XTN-002 was quickly moved to the side. In the center of the conference table, the appearance of XTN-003 appeared.

"XTN-003, 190cm tall, weighs 134 kilograms, is a humanoid combat robot. It has the same visual system as other robots and can withstand light weapons. The thickness of its armor is half that of XTN-002.

"And its movement speed is slightly higher than that of humans, reaching 45 kilometers per hour. It also has the ability to isolate electromagnetic pulse interference. At the same time, it can do all the actions that humans can do. Whether it's close combat or long-range shooting, they are all its strengths."

"So what are the advantages of this robot?"

Someone suddenly asked.

"The advantage of XTN-003 is that it's a jack of all trades. No matter what the occasion, it can exert its full power without any special restrictions, just like us humans."

The young man immediately replied, "XTN-003 can use any weapon and can carry out high-intensity combat, whether it's operating artillery or driving a car, whether it's street fighting or ambushing. Even when the weapon is out of ammunition, it can easily grab the enemy's weapon to fight. It's like an invulnerable, never-tiring special force, and the trump card of the special force!"

"What!"

Hearing this, everyone could not sit still. Among them, the brown-bear-like soldier stared at a pair of big eyes of the same age. "The degree of intelligence is so high that it can drive a car?"

Hearing this, the young man could not help but laugh. "Driving a car is not unusual. What if I said that as long as I input the information, it can also drive tanks and airplanes?"

Everyone became even more bewildered. "That's impossible. It's already a miracle that your robot AI can walk on two legs and maintain the same agility as an ordinary person. If it can also drive planes and tanks, wouldn't it be able to completely replace human soldiers?"

"I understand what you're thinking. It's normal to have doubts about the degree of intelligence of this kind of AI."

The young man pressed his hands to calm everyone down and then said kindly, "But if you don't believe it, after the first meeting, you can go and watch us test the XTN-003 robot in the experimental site. At the same time, once we receive a commission from the African countries, we'll also try our best to send XTN-003 for actual combat demonstrations. You can even watch the actual combat from a distance with our commanders."

"We're also looking forward to this opportunity."

This group of high-ranking officials and generals all looked at each other and nodded, barely suppressing the doubts and doubts in their hearts.

"As for what you said, XTN-003 is enough to replace human soldiers, isn't this the dream of human progress?"

The young man continued. "In the imagination of our Blacklight Biotechnology, with the progress of human civilization, the frequency of future wars will inevitably become less and less, and the scale of conventional garrisons will thus be reduced. The extra military expenses can be used on other high-tech weapons, and these vacant positions of soldiers will be filled by robots and drones.

"It's even possible that there will be zero casualties in the future war. Who wins and who loses will be determined by the advanced level and combat capabilities of the robots..."

Hearing the young man's vision of the future, everyone showed a thoughtful look. Indeed, XTN-003 seemed to have an unrealistic level of intelligence, but was this not in line with the scenario of future wars? As technology became more and more advanced, human soldiers would be eliminated sooner or later. Not only in the future, but now many fighters had been replaced by unmanned fighters. This was a historical trend.

"Moreover, in our vision, these robots can be used not only at the military level."

The young man continued. "As long as the thickness of the armor is reduced and the firepower level is reduced at the same time, it will be the perfect police robot. I believe you can understand what this means."

He showed a mischievous look. "Even if military robots are to be upgraded in the future, these eliminated robots don't have to worry about becoming a pile of scrap iron. Whether it's for police use or even becoming the hardest workers on construction sites and farms, it's a normal thing..."

Hearing this, everyone raised their heads sharply and finally showed a look of shock. One of the soldiers said in a low voice, "Indeed... If the AI program of this kind of robot can even deal with war, then it's overkill to become a police robot or even an industrial robot."

The young man picked up the glass in front of him and took a sip of water, then continued. "In addition, there are all kinds of drones you can see, such as this Mark-1 model —"

With that, the holographic projection of XTN-003 automatically moved to the side, and a flying saucer-shaped drone appeared in the center of the conference table.

"The Mark-001 drone has a diameter of 75 centimeters and a height of 20 centimeters. It's equipped with an ion pulse vector propulsion unit and has a maximum cruising speed of 120 kilometers per hour. The flight noise is 20 decibels, which is equivalent to the sound made when the wind blows through the leaves. At the same time, it's also equipped with a face scanning system and a 12K high-definition zoom camera. It can confirm a person's identity from up to 100 meters away with an accuracy of up to 99 percent. Even at night, it can be converted into night vision mode, which is no different from daytime.

"Its outer shell uses an intelligent camouflage system that can change several camouflage colors, including sky blue, black, brown camouflage, and green camouflage. It's enough to achieve invisible surveillance activities in most environments."

The young man continued. "In terms of the weapon system, there's a weapon base at the bottom of the drone that can carry several light weapons such as taser guns, signal guns, and light pistols.

"Of course, it can also not carry anything. If it's not carrying anything, it's a pure spy drone. If it's carrying something, it can be used for patrol and search missions. The actual combat video you saw just now was taken by the Mark-1 drone."

"The Mark-001 is just the most common model. Just like the XTN model robot, the Mark drones are also divided into dozens of models, ranging from miniature drones of a few centimeters in size to heavy drones that can carry the XTN-002. They cover many application combat capabilities such as espionage monitoring, tactical combat, and vehicle carrying.

"Then, there's the Mark-002..."

Then, the young man vividly explained the specific data of more than a dozen drones to the people in the conference room. At this point, the North Sea Continent procurement team finally had a preliminary understanding of the weapons on Blacklight Biotechnology's side.

Of course, the order contract would certainly not be signed so soon. After all, this wave was only a preliminary investigation. After this group of people left, there would definitely be a second and third batch of investigation teams sent for inspection. This involved tens of billions of dollars in orders and national security. No regime would take it lightly.

Blacklight Biotechnology had welcomed more than the representatives of the North Sea Continent. They were just the fastest to act. After all, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, although the North Sea Continent still reaped the dividends left by the Soviet Union many years ago, it was now at the end of its rope. Most of its weapons were on the verge of obsolescence.

Now, such an arms dealer who did not even care about Northern America had appeared. They immediately could not sit still and sent a number of high-level military officials to form an investigation team to come and conduct a preliminary investigation.

When the meeting was about to end, among the officers, an old man with a gray beard finally could not help but frown. "I have to say that these weapons of Blacklight Biotechnology are indeed amazing, but before we witness their performance with our own eyes, all of this still has to be put in question. Is it time to talk about some of the highlights? For example, your 'Sky Sweeper' and the individual missile that was previously publicized in the Earth Federation headquarters? "

"So, General Karl values our individual air defense system?"

The young man suddenly laughed. He took off his glasses, revealing a handsome face of the Chinese people. This young man was transferred from the headquarters and was appreciated by Qian Wenhuan and given an important task, Zhou Yi.

At this time, he only heard him say, "Of course, but not now, because in the next few days, I'll personally take you to visit our various weapon systems. After all, talking too much here is not as effective as witnessing it in person, right?"

The old man frowned when he heard this. To be honest, he did not like to have the rhythm in the hands of the other party.

However, he also understood that Blacklight Biotechnology's idea must be to delay as long as possible, to delay until the investigation teams from other continents arrived, forming a situation of multi-party bidding. However, he could do nothing about this situation.

After all, Blacklight Biotechnology was the only one...
