Chapter 976

。

The relationship between Shi Lei and Rongcheng Military District was very special!

On the surface, the two were in a cooperative relationship. Rongcheng Military District obtained some military weapon technology from Shi Lei and worked together on The First Light project.

The core operating system source code of Rongcheng Military District's Iron and Steel, Land Combat System, Fearless, and Explorer had always been in Shi Lei's hands. As a result, Rongcheng Military District was in a weak position.

In the The First Light project, Rongcheng Military District took the initiative. Rongcheng Military District controlled the production process of The First Light's core components, which caused Shi Lei to be unable to produce The First Light independently.

Rongcheng Military District needed Shi Lei's help for various operating system source codes. Shi Lei also hoped to rely on Rongcheng Military District's support and let Rongcheng Military District take the blame for certain things.

It could be said that both sides were working together based on their interests!

Rongcheng Military District would sometimes secretly order Shi Lei to do things that Rongcheng Military District couldn't do for their own demands. This time, Rongcheng Military District found out that Shi Lei had attacked Nanyue State. Rongcheng Military District's bigwigs didn't plan to hold Shi Lei accountable at all.

Rongcheng Military District's bigwigs hoped to contact Shi Lei and ask Shi Lei to help them with something.

Rongcheng Military District, Comprehensive Warfare Discussion Room.

The bigwigs were in a discussion. The higher-ups of Rongcheng Military District were divided into four factions. They were He Faction, who was actually in power; Li Faction, who was nominally in power; Major General Division Commander Su Ding, who belonged to the highest level of the Electronic Security Force; and Yang Dingtian, who was neutral and was the Equipment Minister.

On the surface, He Faction and Li Faction were like fire and water. However, they were secretly in cahoots and didn't have much hatred for each other. They also took turns to hold the highest position in Rongcheng Military District.

Rongcheng Military District's nominal commander, Li Long, didn't participate in the meeting. Instead, Deputy Commander He Zhenbang presided over the meeting.

"Ahem ~"

He Zhenbang let out a light cough to signal everyone to stop the discussion.

He Zhenbang asked an obvious question, "Comrades, do you think Shi Lei was behind the incident at Xialong Bay in Nanyue State?"

The head of the logistics department, Zhang Liming, said, "Commander He, according to the pictures released by the Southshine Nation, there's no doubt that it's a Radiant!" Zhang Liming was the representative of the Li Faction, so he expressed his opinion.

Yang Dingtian, who was neutral, said directly, "I think it's Shi Lei! The First Light is a weapon developed by Shi Lei. Other than our Rongcheng Military District, only Shi Lei has it. However, we don't know what Shi Lei's motive is for attacking Nanyue State. "

Major General Division Commander Su Ding, who was part of the higher-ups, said hesitantly, "I heard that Shi Lei's base in Shuangqing City was attacked. The daughter of Director Ling of the Western Cybersecurity Department and the daughter of Mayor Mu of Shengjing City were injected with a deadly virus by unknown armed men. Could it be that those unknown armed men were from Nanyue State? "

Su Ding obviously knew about the incident in Shuangqing City!

Although this incident was tightly sealed by Xia Xia's government, people in the inner circle still knew about it.

He Zhenbang didn't respond to Su Ding. Instead, he said, "If you want to know Shi Lei's motive, you can ask Shi Lei directly!" As he spoke, He Zhenbang picked up the satellite phone and dialed Shi Lei's number. He Zhenbang knew that if Shi Lei wanted to answer the phone, he could get it no matter where he was.

However, Shi Lei was in the ocean at a depth of 655 meters!

At this depth, the second-generation The First Light was automatically controlled by the on-board microcomputer. Due to the lack of computing power of the on-board microcomputer, the second-generation The First Light's combat power was greatly reduced.

The second-generation The First Light, which was separated from the IWN Secret Network, could only perform some basic movements by relying on the on-board microcomputer. For example, walking and running, as well as diving in the ocean. It was obviously impossible to engage in an intense and high-speed battle!

He Zhenbang dialed Shi Lei's number, but the call didn't go through. He Zhenbang obviously didn't believe it, so he continued to call.

This time, the call was automatically picked up by Izur. Izur couldn't contact Shi Lei. The second-generation The First Light's communication module was blocked by the seawater at a depth of 655 meters. Even the GPS couldn't be reached.

"Hello, Mr. Shi Lei can't answer the phone. If there's anything, please leave a voice message." Izur simulated a middle-aged man's voice through the phone.

He Zhenbang was slightly stunned, then he snorted and said unhappily, "This is He Zhenbang. Tell Shi Lei to answer the phone."

"Hello, Commander He. Mr. Shi can't answer the phone. I'll inform Mr. Shi and ask him to contact you as soon as possible!" Izur replied He Zhenbang.

He Zhenbang rolled his eyes when he heard Izur call him 'Commander He'. He didn't immediately reply to Izur. Instead, he turned to look at Su Ding and said, "Little Su, you said that Dream Entertainment has a human-like computer program, right?"

Su Ding didn't understand He Zhenbang's sudden question. He replied, "Yes, Commander He. Dream Entertainment has a human-like artificial intelligence system." Su Ding knew the difference between an artificial intelligence system and a pseudo-artificial intelligence system, but He Zhenbang didn't. Su Ding didn't plan to explain in detail, so he just said that it was an artificial intelligence system.

He Zhenbang nodded and said into the satellite phone, "Are you Dream Entertainment's artificial intelligence system?" He Zhenbang copied how Su Ding addressed him and asked Izur, "Are you Dream Entertainment's artificial intelligence system?"

"Yes, Commander He." Izur didn't hide the situation. According to Shi Lei's plan, if Izur couldn't contact him and He Zhenbang came looking for him, Izur had already planned what to do.

After getting a positive answer, He Zhenbang directly instructed, "Tell Shi Lei to contact me as soon as possible! Also, what is Shi Lei doing in Nanyue State? "

"Commander He, the system has automatically recorded it. Once the system connects to Mr. Shi, it will remind Mr. Shi to contact you. The system doesn't know Mr. Shi's location at the moment, so it can't answer your second question, "Izur replied.

He Zhenbang snorted and hung up the phone. After hanging up the phone, He Zhenbang immediately asked Su Ding, "Little Su Ding, was it really that artificial intelligence system that I was talking to? Why do I feel like it's a person? "

Su Ding once pretended to be a player in the Hero's World and contacted Dream Entertainment's customer service center. Su Ding admired Dream Entertainment's pseudo-artificial intelligence system.

It was Su Ding's first time seeing such a highly-intelligent pseudo-artificial intelligence system. Even the secret department that Su Ding used to work in didn't have such an advanced pseudo-artificial intelligence system!

"Commander He, in fact, Dream Entertainment's artificial intelligence system can be considered a human. It's just that it doesn't have the ability to innovate and have emotions. " Su Ding replied to He Zhenbang. At the same time, he hinted at Shi Lei, "If we can have Dream Entertainment's artificial intelligence system, Rongcheng Military District's combat ability will at least double!"

"It's that powerful?" He Zhenbang didn't believe it.

From He Zhenbang's point of view, it was just a computer software system. How could it increase Rongcheng Military District's combat ability by more than double?

Su Ding explained, "Commander He, modern warfare requires a high degree of information support. How fast is the transmission of orders between Rongcheng Military District's upper echelons and lower echelons? How narrow is the transmission range of our orders? If we have a system that can directly send orders to every soldier and let every soldier understand their mission, then how high will the soldiers' combat efficiency be? "

He Zhenbang sucked in a breath of cold air!

"That's impossible!" Yang Dingtian, who was neutral, knew a little about computer systems. "Division Commander Su, what kind of computer system would be needed to achieve the level you mentioned?"

"What's impossible about it? Isn't Lijian Province's combat system like this? All the troops in Lijian Province are integrated into a military network. Their main system is an artificial intelligence system! " Su Ding sneered. "If it wasn't for the artificial intelligence system, do you think the troops in Lijian Province are really that powerful?"

The army of Lijian did a really good job in terms of communication! At the same time, the cooperation between the troops was also very good. For example, if a single soldier found a bunker and couldn't deal with it, he would directly call for long-distance support through the military network.

A single soldier could directly connect to all the combat troops through the military network. What kind of high efficiency communication was this?

He Zhenbang thought about what Su Ding said. He gulped and said, "Little Su, if we ask Shi Lei to create an artificial intelligence system for us, do you think it's possible?"

Su Ding nodded solemnly. "It's completely possible!"

…

Nanyue State.

Shi Lei and his group followed the inertial navigation system and returned to the sea near Mang Street City. Then, they sat in the large truck that was waiting by the sea and prepared to return to the eastern stronghold of the Hell of Darkness.

It took about one and a half hours to return to Mang Street City from Xia Long Bay. The First Light of the second generation had passed the test. There were no problems with the diving module.

Just as they sat in the back of the large truck, Izur's cold voice sounded.

"Sir, He Zhenbang of the Rongcheng Military District contacted you 72 minutes ago. He Zhenbang wants you to contact him," Izur reminded Shi Lei.

Shi Lei frowned and immediately ordered, "Contact He Zhenbang!"

He Zhenbang is looking for me? What's the matter? Could it be that the Nanyue State matter has been exposed? Shi Lei thought to himself. Even if the Nanyue State matter had been exposed, He Zhenbang couldn't care less about what happened overseas!

He Zhenbang picked up the phone as soon as the call connected. "Shi Lei, kid, are you in Nanyue State?" He Zhenbang directly asked Shi Lei in a domineering manner. Shi Lei didn't know how to react.

"Uh, Commander He, what are you talking about?" Shi Lei pretended to be ignorant in an attempt to bluff his way out.

"Alright, Shi Lei, kid, the Nanyue State's surveillance system captured The First Light. The entire Rongcheng Military District saw it!" He Zhenbang laughed loudly. "Shi Lei, kid, why are you looking for trouble with the Nanyue State?"

"Commander He, what do you think?" Shi Lei asked back.

"Could it be that this matter really has something to do with the Nanyue State?" He Zhenbang was doubtful.

Shi Lei didn't answer. He didn't believe that He Zhenbang just wanted to show concern. If he wanted to show concern, he would have done so before. Why would he give advice after the fact?

"Commander He, why are you looking for me?" Shi Lei changed the topic.

He Zhenbang didn't pursue the matter. Instead, he said, "Shi Lei, since you're in Nanyue State, there's something that we need your help with in Rongcheng Military District!"

"What is it?" Shi Lei's lips curled into a smile as if he had expected it. Why would the leader of Rongcheng Military District have the time to talk nonsense with Shi Lei?

"Where are you in Nanyue State?" He Zhenbang didn't say it directly. Instead, he asked for Shi Lei's specific location.

Shi Lei thought for a while and told him his real address. "I'm in Mang Street City, which is next to Xingdong City in our country."

"Really?" He Zhenbang's tone was a little surprised.

"Yes, of course it's true!" Shi Lei was very smart. He immediately realized that the thing that Rongcheng Military District needed his help with might be in or near Mang Street City.

What He Zhenbang said next was just as Shi Lei expected!

"Shi Lei, we need you to kill three people for us! Three traitors from Rongcheng Military District! Those three people are in Mang Street City! "He Zhenbang said while gnashing his teeth.

Traitors from Rongcheng Military District?

Shi Lei was very surprised. There were traitors in Rongcheng Military District!

"What's the situation with those traitors?" Shi Lei didn't know what was going on. He decided to contact Li Yuan privately. The factions in Rongcheng Military District were very complicated. If those 'traitors' were members of Li Yuan's faction and Shi Lei killed them, wouldn't he be labeled as a member of He Yuan's faction?

Shi Lei definitely didn't want to get involved in the conflict between factions in Rongcheng Military District!
