Chapter 317 Lin Chen went abroad?
Early in the morning, at a place in Beijing where censorship is mandatory.
Liu Aiguo, who was in Nanjing negotiating cooperation with Longchen Intelligent Aviation, hurriedly took the earliest flight back to Beijing and arrived here.
He was still somewhat puzzled by this.
Why would a deputy minister in charge of equipment be summoned here?
Not long after, Liu Aiguo met an old classmate, Xiao Ming, who worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in a conference room.
"Old Xiao!"
"Old Liu!"
The two embraced with smiles, and Liu Aiguo then asked, "What's all this about? Why did you come?"
"You don't know yet, do you? You're the main character today," Xiao Ming asked with a half-smile.
"I?"
Liu Aiguo was completely bewildered.
What protagonist? I don't even know why I'm here, how did I become the protagonist?
Before he could ask any more questions, many more people entered the conference room, including several bigwigs whom Liu Aiguo rarely saw.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I've called you all here today because of an international event that concerns us..."
One of the bigwigs said something briefly and then gestured for his secretary to continue the report.
The secretary stood up and said, "Last night we received news that the Squid Kingdom's forces in Gasa suffered a devastating blow, with at least several thousand killed. Their forward bases are basically paralyzed, and the Squid have now withdrawn their troops that were attacking Gasa."
???
Has the Squid Kingdom's army in Gasa been wiped out?
Liu Aiguo looked shocked.
Since the Squid Kingdom began its invasion of Gasa last year, the whole world has realized that Gasa's demise is only a matter of time.
Indeed, this was the case, even though the resistance forces in Gasa performed admirably.
Yet their leaders continued to be killed one by one, and organized resistance never materialized again.
How could the squid's army have suddenly suffered such a heavy blow?
Thousands more died?
what is the problem?
"The Squid Nation has not disclosed the specifics, but our intelligence department discovered a video online. The person who posted it appears to be the new PLO promoting the attack. The original video has already been blocked on foreign websites, and we downloaded it before it was blocked."
As the secretary spoke, she turned on the conference room screen and played a video.
Upon seeing the footage in the video, Liu Aiguo couldn't help but stand up abruptly.
This video appears to have been filmed by a soldier at the squid base using his mobile phone.
Although the image was very shaky, it was still relatively clear.
In the video, Liu Aiguo was surprised to see Chen Gou No. 1, the robot dog from Longchen Zhihang, which he had met just yesterday!
Squid Country?
middle East?
customer?
What the hell!
Liu Aiguo finally understood who the customer was for Longchen Zhihang's second order.
Mr. Lu, you...
You actually sold Chen Gou No. 1 to the New Bajie?!
The bigwigs in the conference room didn't seem surprised by Liu Aiguo's reaction.
After watching the video calmly, they all turned their attention to Liu Aiguo.
"Vice Minister Liu, you seem to know where those robot dogs came from?"
"Yes, sir..."
Liu Aiguo wiped away his cold sweat and nodded in admission: "If I'm not mistaken, those robot dogs are new robot dogs and drones made by a domestic drone company called Longchen Zhihang."
"We have reached a cooperation agreement with this company, and their products will be included in the military equipment in the future."
"We were just a little slow. Before the cooperation was finalized, they had just sold a batch of goods overseas. We never expected that the buyer of this batch of goods would be Papua New Guinea..."
A bigwig smiled and waved his hand: "Minister Liu, don't be nervous, this is not your fault. These robot dogs have been bought, so be it. Just consider it as someone else paying for us to do a practical exercise."
"Thank you for your understanding, leader." Liu Aiguo nodded quickly.
But the bigwig hadn't finished speaking: "However, this incident has also shown us the true potential of these drones and robot dogs. Therefore, it has been decided by higher authorities to raise the security level of Longchen Intelligent Aviation Company. In particular, the developers of this drone must also be restricted from leaving the country."
Liu Aiguo nodded: "Understood! I'll arrange it immediately when I get back!"
After giving instructions to Liu Aiguo, the senior officials then discussed with his old classmate Xiao Ming how to handle diplomatic matters.
It's nothing more than indicating that China will soon impose an embargo on these drones and robot dogs, and then making some empty promises.
Liu Aiguo didn't care about this kind of thing.
He was just thinking that he must contact Jinling immediately after the meeting ended.
He really didn't expect that, although he had already thought highly of Longchen Zhihang's products, they were actually quite impressive!
Even squid has become a defeated opponent!
Such an excellent product must be kept strictly confidential!
The meeting ended shortly afterward.
As soon as Liu Aiguo left, he immediately called Jinling and explained the need to upgrade Longchen Zhihang's security level.
But just then, he heard some news.
"What? The core system source code of Longchen Intelligent Aviation was written by their major shareholder?"
"Yes, Minister Liu, but don't worry, the other party has already handed over all the patents to Longchen Zhihang, and the other party's shares are also held by Manager Lu on their behalf, so it will not affect our cooperation."
"Oh, all right……"
Liu Aiguo nodded, but then suddenly remembered what the leader had said at the meeting.
"By the way, ask about the identity of that major shareholder. Since he is the core technology developer of Longchen Intelligent Aviation, he must also be included in the list of confidential personnel."
"clear."
After hanging up the phone, Liu Aiguo thought the matter was over.
But that very evening, he received devastating news.
The real core technology developer of Longchen Intelligent Aviation has actually left China!
And the place he went to was actually the United States, across the ocean!
"What? How can we send such an important talent to the United States?"
Liu Aiguo's heart sank instantly. If this developer leaked Longchen Zhihang's technology to the Americans, then all their previous work would have been in vain.
If this developer were to defect to the United States, China might even face an unprecedented drone threat in the near future!
Just like the squid kingdom today.
Driven by a strong sense of crisis, Liu Aiguo couldn't help but ask, "Who exactly is this person? Is there any way to contact him and get him back to China as soon as possible?"
"Minister... this person is Lin Chen!"
……
Meanwhile, in the United States.
It was the middle of the night in the United States.
But with an emergency call from the White House, countless people were pulled out of bed and gathered at the White House.
In addition to the president's think tank, the event was also attended by the head of the U.S. intelligence agencies, military representatives, and representatives from several defense contractors.
Their faces all looked very grim.
The reason was a piece of intelligence.
Compared to China, the Americans, being the "good sons" of the squid, received more accurate information.
They even obtained analysis data from several drone wreckages that the Squid Nation retrieved from the battlefield afterward.
After listening to the briefing, the exhausted blond-haired president slammed his fist on the table and said:
"Everyone! I'd like to ask your opinions on China's drone technology!"
One of the experts from the think tank said with a look of regret, "President, I think we have to admit that China's drone technology has completely surpassed ours!"
"Especially the intelligent control system used on these drones, I think it's already a practical form of artificial intelligence! With it, in the future, China won't even need to send its soldiers to the battlefield to wage a war!"
The president turned to look at the representatives of the military industry.
The latter nodded helplessly: "Commander-in-Chief, he's right!"
"I won't allow it! I absolutely won't allow this!"
The president slammed his fist on the table: "Our United States is the beacon of world civilization! Under my rule, I will absolutely not allow our position as the world's number one to be taken away by China! If China will do it, we must do it too!"
The representative from the military industry looked helpless: "But President, we have already analyzed the Chinese drones. Their AI system seems to have anti-hacking capabilities. When we tried to crack it, all the data was deleted!"
A representative from an AI company explained, "Even if we wanted to imitate their drones, we couldn't. Although our AI can achieve similar capabilities, the cost of a single drone would be astronomical!"
"On the other hand, the AI of the Chinese people must have used some kind of advanced layout architecture, so that even if they use outdated chips, they can still afford the computing power required by the AI."
"Trash! They are all a bunch of trash!"
The president was so angry that his face turned red, and even thick foundation couldn't hide the rage on his face.
"You earn so much money every year and take so much of the national budget away. Is this how you repay the country?"
"I don't care what methods you use or what costs you pay, I want to see the United States produce a product that can rival China's drone robot dog in a short period of time!"
Just as the president was venting his anger in his office, an intelligence officer suddenly burst in and whispered a few words in the ear of the intelligence chief.
The official immediately beamed with joy and stood up, saying, "President, I just received some great news! The inventor of China's drone system is currently in the United States!"
"What? Who is he?"
"You must still remember this name, Lin Chen!"
