Chapter 439 Stopping Before Hell
"I have an impression of He Gu."
Chen Mingzai sometimes chatted with the Minister of Psychics about various matters, and occasionally mentioned He Gu a few times.
After all, He Gu is the only researcher Chen Ming knows who wants to shift psychic technology from military to civilian use, so Chen Ming doesn't mind helping out a little bit.
"But isn't the speed of this research a bit too fast..."
The secretary responded: "The project leader said that He Gu had already been conducting research in this area before this experiment started. It seems that they all believe that this technology will definitely play a role, and a lot of preparations have been made very early. ”
"I believe it too."
The minister of psychic energy whispered to himself, and then asked: "Does this technology have any side effects?"
"For ordinary people, yes."
"It is said that when the structure of this hive mind network is running on ordinary people, multiple consciousnesses will exist at the same time."
"Because it is impossible to control a destroyer or above-level spacecraft with the intensity of consciousness of ordinary people, multiple people need to be connected to the same hive mind cluster to control them. They will all be negatively affected by the hive mind network."
< br>
"For psykers, the situation is exactly the opposite, because the consciousness of psykers is strong enough to control the ship alone, and only the controlled ship exists in their mental network."
"For example, Cheng Xinghai from the previous experiment is a pure brain-enhanced psyker. Level 4 is enough to control more than one battleship and thousands of cruisers at the same time without any burden."
"If other psychics come, the number will need to be lowered, but there will certainly not be the same pressure as ordinary people."
"I understand, what specific impact will it have?"
"Well... for example, ordinary people may feel uncomfortable with the convergence of thinking patterns. Some people with greatly different thinking patterns will have difficulty adapting to staying in the same cellular network for a long time. Even if they adapt, there will be sequelae. ”
"Then when different people are in the same hive mind network, some people may share the same information with each other, and it is difficult to completely guarantee personal privacy."
"Also, after staying on the cellular network for a long time, people's cognition may be biased, leading to some mental illnesses."
"And..."
While listening to the secretary's sequelae.
The minister was also looking at the report from the project team sent by the secretary specifically for leaders and various outsiders to see.
The operating logic of this technology is roughly stated above.
This technology is probably the special effect achieved by the functional structure of neurons and spacecraft
Although the report wrote a lot about the spacecraft, he could see clearly that the main key to the operation of this technology actually lies in the neurons, not the spacecraft itself.
This means that the empire's spaceship production line does not need to change much in order for this plan to continue running.
Even the empire can directly produce warships without a main control system and directly install neurons.
This can increase the overall ship manufacturing efficiency by at least 20%.
After the full application of this technology, the military strength of the empire can be at least doubled.
The question of loss that he had just been thinking about was no longer an issue.
Thinking of this, the minister directly interrupted the secretary and said: "Side effects are not a problem. Mental illness is better than dying on the battlefield. Which of the sequelae of military stimulants is not more serious than mental illness?"
As long as we can solve problems without military power, no matter how big the problem is, it won't be a problem.
"Does the project team have any plan to solve the sequelae?"
"No."
"No, it doesn't matter. We can handle this kind of thing ourselves."
"Find a way to recruit psychiatrists for the army, conduct the most complete psychological tests for all those who use these equipment, arrange the best doctors, and treat problems if they arise."
"As long as no one is killed, isn't it easy to cure some psychological problems?"
"Then the issue of memory sharing actually has little impact. The main thing is that the memories of some important commanders cannot be leaked."
"I remember that we have psychics in this area, and we also have technology in this area. We can set up an isolation layer in the minds of commanders of a certain level to protect important memories."
"Easy to fix."
"What side effects? It's all bullshit."
The minister emphasized again: "No matter what problems this project has, they must be solved."
"As long as this project can advance, we still have hope of winning."
Soon after.
The news that Cheng Xinghai relied on new and extremely promising technology to successfully perform a rescue mission in the Aodan star field and conduct a comprehensive test of the technology quickly reached Bai Quan's ears.
When Bai Quan heard the news, he happened to have left Gallo and was stationed with the fleet at the border of the three-ring star field behind Gallo.
And when the experiment was going on, it happened to be when he was assembling the local army of the fleet.
At this time, the local army has been integrated into his army, and only unified dispatch and command can ensure combat effectiveness.
Under his restrictions, the pace of the mechanical tribe's subsequent invasion was obviously much slower than elsewhere.
So he also had time to check the specific progress of this matter afterwards.
After learning that this technology had been implemented throughout the empire under the mandatory requirements of the empire, he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
As the first person to know about this technology, he knew very well how powerful this technology was and how important it was to the empire.
The difficulty for empires in converting resources into war potential lies not in the resources themselves, but in the people who use them, converting will into military power.
It takes as little as a month to train a group of Army recruits.
However, it takes three months to two years to train a group of soldiers who can cooperate to pilot spacecraft of different levels, from the lowest frigate to the current top-notch capital ship.
Such a long training time simply cannot keep up with the rate of consumption in high-intensity wars.
Although war can make people grow rapidly, the military can choose to forcibly shorten the training time and let people go directly to the war to familiarize themselves with the operation of the spacecraft.
But this will not last long, and the damage to personnel will be more serious,
Now, the emergence of this technology can almost perfectly solve this problem.
The soldiers who have been cultivated do not need to go directly to the front line, but control the spacecraft on the front line through neural links from a safe rear.
As long as the consciousness can hold on and the logistics can keep up, the battle can continue.
Even if the ship is destroyed, the people will still remain and have the experience of driving the ship in battle.
Although the effect is definitely not as good as the growth it brings to people in a real battlefield where death is possible at any time.
But as long as people don't die, there will be infinite possibilities in the future.
Baiquan is very optimistic about the future of this technology.
Just thinking about the origin of this technology made him feel a little uncontrollably disappointed.
Bai Quan took out his terminal.
This is what he has been doing every week since Chen Ming lost contact.
He followed the order in the terminal's address book and dialed several communication codes belonging to Chen Ming.
If no one answers a number, move on to the next one.
However, no one answered these numbers as before, and Chen Ming also had no news as before. but.
Just when Bai Quan dialed the number in Chen Ming's office, the call was suddenly connected.
Bai Quan's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and unparalleled expectations suddenly rose in his heart.
But Wu An's voice came from the communication: "Bai Quan?"
Bai Quan sighed in his heart and asked disappointedly: "Why is it you?"
"I withdrew from Gallo and didn't want to return to the empire, so of course I came here. Chen Ming still hasn't come back, so I will temporarily manage it for him."
"That's it, then it's okay."
Bai Quan didn't explain why he made this call, Wu An should understand.
But just as he was about to hang up the phone, he suddenly thought of something else and asked: "How is the situation with your president? I asked him to do me a favor before, but don't let anything go wrong. ”
"I don't know what to say either."
Wu An's mind flashed through the scene he had seen during a video call with people in the association.
"In short, the president is now lying in a device specially prepared for him to help him wake up and fall asleep quickly."
"You also know that the super body is something we can't handle now. If there is no president, the super body can really rush into any corner of the empire and cause destruction."
"So the president must lie on the device and use his psychic powers to send psykers to different places at any time. He can't do anything else."
"Sounds a bit..."
"Everyone knows that this is not good, but this is what the president asked for. He would rather turn himself into a machine."
"This is what he said, 'If you don't do this, the super body of the mechanical race will have no means of countermeasures, and only I am qualified to sit in this position.'"
"..."
"Everyone has something to do."
Wu An took the initiative to break Bai Quan's silence and said: "You should be the same in the future, right? Your new technology should be fully used soon."
"You mean neuron connection technology?"
"Yes."
"You ordinary soldiers can take turns fighting, but no one can take over for you as a commander. When the war is at its most intense, you may need to fight several or even dozens of battles in a row without rest."
"At least the president can rest when he should, but what about you and the others?"
"Commanding a high-intensity fleet battle is no easier than using our psychic powers, especially for ordinary people. Can you handle it?"
Bai Quan did not answer the question, but said: "I am ready."
Wu An didn't have much to say, just like he didn't have much to say about the president's choice.
"Good luck."
"I also wish you good luck and hope Chen Ming can come back soon."
The phone hangs up.
Wu An was standing next to Chen Ming's desk at this time.
He put down the phone on the table, stared at Chen Ming's seat for a few times, then turned and sat back on the sofa.
He has been sitting here for several days.
Since he arrived at Chen Ming's colony a few days ago, he has seen that everything in the colony is as usual, and there are no problems caused by Chen Ming's loss of contact.
This is what Chen Ming has been doing.
Even if he is not here, everything in the two core star fields belonging to him will continue to operate as usual.
So Wu An only had a rough understanding of the operating logic of the colony and after everything was fine, he didn't pay much attention to the situation of the colony.
Just sitting here waiting silently, while he is still building the city in his conscious space.
Constantly repairing Chen Ming's image in the city to be more complete, closer to reality and his perception.
This can preserve his memory of Chen Ming, and also use the power that belongs to Chen Ming to strengthen his consciousness.
Everyone in the colony knew that Wu An was Chen Ming's mentor, so he still stayed in Chen Ming's office.
Wu An's stay was not in vain. After staying here for two days, he told several senior officials in the colony, such as Lu Kangtian, that they could contact him if they had anything to do. He was a level 6 psyker anyway.
By the way, he can also use Chen Ming's intelligence network to understand the current situation in the empire.
Wu An picked up the terminal and took a look.
The above will send information compiled by Huihuang every day.
At present, it seems that although the empire performed poorly in the war with the mechanical tribe in the first two months, it can be said that it is completely unable to stop the offensive of the mechanical tribe in most places.
But after nearly two months, the empire has gradually adapted to this kind of high-intensity war.
The battle line was basically stabilized between the second outer ring and the third outer ring.
When Ming's new technology is used in batches, perhaps the situation will change.
The empire did not rush all the way to hell, it stopped at the gate of hell.
And based on Wu An’s understanding of Chen Ming and this technology.
The core of this technology lies in biological neurons.
Such items made by the Zerg can be used after being modified with simple human technology.
Even the Zerg themselves can solve the transformation process.
Chen Ming didn't know where the Zerg were currently distributed, but he knew that the Zerg was definitely very widely distributed in the universe.
And the Zerg also have special means and established colonial connections to deliver these neurons.
The output of these biological neurons can therefore be almost infinite.
How many neuron warships can be created depends only on the empire's warship production and the number of personnel who can pilot the warships.
The Insect Queen is still following Chen Ming's last order before losing contact, cooperating with the empire to resist the invasion of the machine race.
Even if Chen Ming loses contact, what he left behind is still helping the empire go further.
The empire's military strength will definitely skyrocket in the future, and the spare spaceships that were previously driven by insufficient personnel can be used.
If one batch is lost, the next batch can still be picked up.
As long as the neuron-connected pilots do not lose consciousness, there will be a steady stream of ships that can go to the front line.
The resources accumulated by the empire after hundreds of years of stagnation are enough to allow it to continue to support itself during the war.
