#1407 - Advanced Technology

Beibu Gulf Shipyard.

A bionic dolphin was manufactured, looking lifelike, seemingly no different from a real dolphin.

Even from a few meters away, one would think it was a real dolphin, not a bionic robot.

A group of experts couldn't help but gasp, all shocked by this bionic robot.

Even though they had seen videos of this kind of bionic robot before, the shock of seeing the real thing was beyond words.

Although not every land-based bionic robot can be used for military purposes, it does not hinder the research and exploration of each one.

After all, only through experimentation and testing can we know whether this kind of bionic robot is suitable for the battlefield, and in what environment and field it can be applied.

For example, an ant robot was developed specifically for gathering information on the battlefield, for battlefield reconnaissance. This ant robot is very small and insignificant on the battlefield, making it difficult to attract attention.

For a long time, land-based bionic robots have been at the forefront.

Secondly, there are aerial avian bionic robots, but these can only be used for preliminary military applications, and their performance is not very advanced.

As for underwater bionic robots, research has always been unsatisfactory. One important reason is the high resistance in water, which means a need for strong battery life and a very strong understanding of the structure of marine life.

Previously, it was optimistically estimated that underwater bionic robots would take at least twenty years to be initially applied to military use.

But now, this bionic dolphin breaks everyone's perception.

After Liu Tao introduced this bionic dolphin, everyone was even more shocked.

This bionic dolphin uses too many advanced technologies!

In order for the bionic dolphin to communicate externally in a timely manner and transmit information, quantum communication technology is applied. Cooperating with quantum communication satellites in space, information can be quickly transmitted. This quantum communication technology is at least one level ahead of China's current quantum communication technology.

This technology can be applied to submarines, greatly strengthening their external communication capabilities.

You need to know that submarines have very weak external communication capabilities underwater, which is very unfavorable for submarine combat command. For example, strategic nuclear submarines, which stay underwater for a long time and only surface after a long period, will default that the country has been destroyed if they cannot connect continuously, and will automatically initiate orders to launch a nuclear strike on preset targets.

Similarly, its application in warships and troop communication vehicles will greatly enhance communication capabilities.

Liu Tao didn't care at all that everyone was shocked by the quantum communication technology.

Quantum communication is a new type of communication method that uses quantum superposition states and entanglement effects to transmit information. Based on the principles of uncertainty, measurement collapse, and no-cloning in quantum mechanics, it provides absolutely secure guarantees that cannot be eavesdropped or computationally cracked. It is mainly divided into two types: quantum teleportation and quantum key distribution.

Quantum teleportation is based on quantum entanglement pair distribution and Bell state joint measurement to achieve quantum state information transmission, where the measurement and determination of quantum state information still requires the assistance of existing communication technologies.

Quantum key distribution, also known as quantum cryptography, uses the transmission measurement of quantum superposition states to achieve secure quantum key sharing between communicating parties, and then uses a one-time pad symmetric encryption system, that is, both communicating parties use a key of the same length as the plaintext for bit-by-bit encryption and decryption operations, to achieve unconditionally secure confidential communication.

All along, key technologies such as entangled pair preparation, distribution, and measurement in quantum teleportation have yet to be broken through, and are still in the theoretical research and experimental exploration stage, with a large gap from practical application. And quantum secure communication based on quantum key distribution is known to everyone as a very potential technical means to ensure network information security in the future, so it has always been a hot spot in theoretical and applied research in the field of quantum communication.

Quantum communication has always been a cutting-edge battleground for research in various countries, and no one is willing to lag behind in this field.

China is naturally no exception.

For example, a few years ago, China launched the world's first 'quantum communication satellite'!

For example, a few years ago, China established city-level quantum communication experimental demonstration networks in several cities, with quantum communication covering the entire main urban area!

However, the quantum communication technology applied by Liu Tao on the bionic dolphin is at least one level ahead of the most advanced quantum communication technology in China today.

This is truly practical!

Of course, this quantum communication technology will definitely be applied to national defense security first, and perhaps after ten or twenty years, it will gradually be opened up in the civilian field.

This is also a common practice in the world. The most advanced technologies are first applied in the military field, and only when the time is right will they be applied in the civilian field. For example, computers were initially used for military purposes, to crack the opponent's radio communications, and later applied to scientific research, then used by large companies, and finally there were civilian personal computers.

Just as now, many technologies in China are first applied in the military or scientific research fields, and have not yet been opened up to the civilian field.

Even if they seem to be in the same field, the military field and the civilian field are completely different things.

There is a very clear example of this, which is the Beidou satellite navigation system. The military versions of the Beidou satellite navigation system are divided into several levels, followed by the civilian level, and even within the civilian level, there are different levels of accuracy depending on whether you have a membership or not.

In addition to quantum communication technology, there are also nuclear batteries!

The current nuclear batteries, also called atomic batteries, are mechanism batteries that use electrical energy from the radiation energy of long half-life radioactive isotopes to change. Radioactive elements generate energy during nuclear decay through the utilization of power generation.

Due to the long life of nuclear batteries, they have been a hot spot of scientific research since very early on.

For example, nuclear batteries can be installed as power sources for space probes. The Americans have used nuclear batteries on Pioneers 10 and 11, Voyagers 1 and 2, and the 'New Horizons' Pluto probe.

China has also applied nuclear batteries to space probes, such as the lunar rover on the moon and the Mars rover on Mars.

Nuclear batteries were also used in pacemakers in the 1960s.

And the nuclear battery technology that Liu Tao applied to this bionic dolphin is more than one level ahead of the most advanced nuclear batteries in the world.

It's almost like a science fiction product!

And this nuclear battery technology will have a very wide range of applications, whether in military or space exploration.

For example, nuclear battery technology experts have seen that this technology can solve the energy problem of tactical lasers and the power supply problem of electromagnetic cannons.

It can be said that this nuclear battery technology completely solves the problems faced by tactical lasers. In the future, tactical lasers will be widely used on the battlefield, and tactical air defense capabilities will be greatly enhanced. The electromagnetic gun on the land battlefield will greatly increase the range of artillery. In the future, strikes within a range of 500 kilometers will not require missiles, and can be directly solved with artillery, which will undoubtedly greatly reduce the cost of war.

In spacecraft and probes, it will allow spacecraft to be more flexible and change orbits at any time, instead of relying entirely on solar cell charging. The same is true for probes.

Liu Tao gave everyone a brief introduction. Next, these experts will be responsible for the development and production of more marine bionic robots, as well as the application of new technologies.

This is also the benefit of having abundant talent. Liu Tao only needs to be responsible for technological breakthroughs, while the digestion and application of the technology are left to other talent teams. This not only greatly saves Liu Tao's energy and time, but also greatly speeds up the application of the technology in other areas.

A technology is often not only suitable for one product, but can be used in multiple fields.

The head of the Navy Equipment Department couldn't stop smiling. He seemed to be able to see that in the future, there would be various marine bionic robots in China's waters, used for marine reconnaissance, creating a real maritime Great Wall, making it impossible for opponents to easily enter the waters. Once they enter the range, they will be discovered immediately and pay a heavy price.

This technology can greatly reduce the huge pressure faced by the navy, and can reduce the construction of hundreds of warships, to say the least.

The latest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

Moreover, unlimited battery life means that these marine bionic robots, under the control of technical personnel, can be all over the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean, and even the Arctic Ocean!

The importance of the ocean is self-evident!

China's century of humiliation began with the sea being breached. The Western powers forcibly breached China's national gate from the sea with strong guns and cannons, bringing a century of humiliation to China, and even once reaching the brink of national subjugation and extermination.

With these marine bionic robots, China can explore the four oceans in the shortest time, grasp the situation of the four oceans, master the safe sea lanes of the four oceans, and also master the four oceans. Those elusive submarines in the four oceans will have nowhere to hide, and can hunt down these submarines at the first moment when necessary.

In the future, warships will not only have to guard against missiles, aircraft, and mines, but also against attacks from marine bionic robots. Although these marine bionic robots can only attack the propulsion systems of warships and ships, it must be known that if the propulsion system of a warship is destroyed, then it will not be able to move, and it will be no different from a fixed target.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the future, marine bionic robots will become a force multiplier for the navy, greatly enhancing the navy's strength and strengthening the navy's control over the ocean.

Whoever controls the ocean controls the world!

This sentence is still not outdated even now.

Liu Tao pressed a button, and the steel plate slid open to both sides, revealing the water surface. Then the bionic dolphin slid along the track to the water surface.

Everyone saw that the bionic dolphin was like a real dolphin. It entered the water and dived into the water, and then swam towards the sea.

Then, everyone couldn't help but look at the big screen on the wall. The big screen was divided into two. One was a sea area map, with red dots representing the location of the bionic dolphin. The red dots had coordinates, and the coordinates were constantly moving with the bionic dolphin and then updated at any time.

This is a complete set of systems, which not only shows where the bionic dolphin is, but also controls the bionic dolphin, whether it is controlling the depth of the bionic dolphin in the sea, controlling the speed of the bionic dolphin, or turning on the detection system, etc.

It can even form the detected submarine, warship, and ship models based on the bionic dolphin's detection system and existing detectors.

It can also be controlled to launch an attack on the propulsion system of warships and ships.

The explosive power generated by a bionic dolphin like this is not enough to cause damage to a warship. However, if it launches an attack on the thruster, it can have a significant impact on the thruster.

Everyone looked at the big screen and couldn't help but marvel in their hearts.

After Liu Tao gave some instructions, the control of this bionic dolphin was handed over to the naval technology team to carry out a series of tests.

Of course, he has the highest authority.

There is no way, the highest authority for these things he made is here with him, because for him, it is not difficult to crack them at all.

Including those strategic-level laser cannons, 'Aegis' series air defense missiles, J-11 fighter jets, etc., he has the highest authority.

It's just that he has hardly used these highest authorities.

After staying at the Beibu Gulf Shipyard for a few days, Liu Tao took a helicopter to the airport, and then took a special plane back to Beijing from the airport.

But the time for the Two Sessions is approaching, and he has to return to Beijing to participate in the Two Sessions.

Every year during the Two Sessions, he is basically in Beijing. It can be said that the Two Sessions are one of the most important meetings in China in a year and are indispensable.

Moreover, before the Two Sessions, the Saudi delegation will visit China, and he also needs to come forward.

As the United States increases its projection of power towards Yemen, Yemen's anti-government armed forces are rapidly growing. Now they have captured two ports in Yemen. As the war in Yemen intensifies, Saudi Arabia is becoming increasingly dissatisfied. After all, Yemen is Saudi Arabia's backyard. The war in Yemen is burning, not to mention other things, the refugees entering Saudi Arabia from Yemen alone are enough to give Saudi Arabia a headache.

Not to mention that once Yemen's rebel armed forces develop further, they may seize the throat located in the Red Sea, which will undoubtedly affect the merchant ships in the Red Sea.

The Saudi delegation's visit to China this time is naturally for some things to do.

During this period, Saudi Arabia has been continuously purchasing supplies from all over the world, and is carrying out military preparations. Even the training of the Saudi army and the Arab coalition forces is more frequent than usual. Obviously, Saudi Arabia is now more inclined to intervene in Yemen by force, to eliminate Yemen's rebel armed forces and restore peace to Yemen.
