Chapter 102: The War of the Future

  The Pentagon, the office of the US Department of Defense, is located at the highest military command in the United States. The construction cost was $83 million, completed on April 15, 1943, and put into use in May of the same year.

  It is now February.

  Although she knew of this place, Catherine had never had the opportunity to see it, neither in the past nor now. For the first time here, Catherine was filled with infinite curiosity.

  But soon she found out that this place was also so monotonous that she couldn't get interested at all.

  This place is pretty good, but it seems like that's all there is to it. There doesn't seem to be anything mysterious or strange about it.

  After passing through a metal detector, Catherine also entered the Pentagon smoothly.

  There was Sanders beside her, but Bruce didn't come over.

  "I always feel like our exoskeletons and single-soldier combat units... aren't a bit too sci-fi?"

  Sanders hesitated for a moment before asking.

  "Don't worry, this is our future trend, the general trend."

  What Sanders said was a scene Catherine had the crew shoot.

  Although it looks like science fiction, in fact, this is the real trend of the future. Catherine just took out what the US military had used.

  Catherine is copying Red Fruit's homework, and her face doesn't blush, her heart doesn't beat fast.

  Sanders had been here three times already and knew his way around while Catherine followed him from behind to the conference room.

  "Hello, gentlemen."

  Catherine waved at those officials in the Pentagon.

  "Hello, Miss Edson. Your concept is really refreshing to us. As the creators of 'Beep Beep Boy' and Protective Umbrella Company, we would love to hear your thoughts on your own product concept and understanding. This might help us make up our minds."

  Catherine nodded.

  Whether the other party can set up a project and allocate funds depends on oneself.

  "May I have your permission to show you a video first. I believe that after watching this video, we will be able to introduce our product more effectively."

  Then Catherine opened the projector and started playing this film which had been made since December.

  This mobilized the entire DreamWorks, and it took a whole 3 months to barely complete this short piece of more than ten minutes. But in terms of quality, it is absolutely the highest that can be seen now.

  Then the movie started playing.

  A team of soldiers, wearing new helmets, camouflage and bulletproof vests. It's nighttime now. They put on multi-functional night vision goggles and displays on their heads, and sneak into a camp quietly.

  The team leader uses a portable computer to connect to the drone in the air, locking onto the enemy's defensive position from an overhead perspective and displaying it on all team members' HUDs.

  Then the team advances, and when members discover enemies, they mark them on their own battlefield situation map (electronic), and this information is also updated to all team members at the same time.

  Then the signal of attack was sent out and transmitted electronically to the team members.

  The battle bugle has sounded. The attack begins!

  The squad members use camera guns, heartbeat sensors and corner shot guns to sweep away enemies.

  After a sudden raid, the command was transmitted again through electronic signals, and the soldiers began to retreat. The snipers in the distance put on auxiliary aiming devices and used anti-material sniper rifles to destroy the enemy's trucks, covering for the team members...

  Here is the translation:

  Up to this point, all scenes are complete.

  "It's really... amazing."

  Indeed, this scene looks magical at first glance, but upon careful consideration, it's all achievable and can give people a sense of wonder.

  "A platoon organized with individual soldier data links and squad information platforms might be able to counter a company using traditional command systems," Sanders said.

  Catherine nodded.

  "So, I will call this 'information warfare'."

  Catherine completely subverted the meaning of information warfare, but anyway, there is no such concept now, and she stole it again... without blushing.

  "Excuse me for asking, are you really just studying semiconductors?"

  An official asked.

  He seemed somewhat moved, but he felt increasingly that Catherine was mysterious.

  "Yes, we only study semiconductors, but outside of semiconductors, we have thought of many things. And our products are all based on our own business. Because for information warfare, our products are indispensable. Bilibili needs our processors, information processing needs our operating platform, these are what we need."

  The officials all nodded.

  Catherine had long been fully prepared for this, and she also had no retreat. At this time, she must show herself boldly, if she was timid, it was likely that tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of dollars would have nothing to do with her.

  "How is wireless transmission achieved?"

  Someone else asked.

  "I heard that Motorola is developing wireless transmission technology, maybe they know more about this aspect."

  Indeed, the world's first mobile phone was made by Motorola.

  "But will the form of future wars really be as you say? I dare not be certain."

  This is a relatively conservative official. It seems to be a general as well.

  "This is the trend of the future. We know that with the emergence of equipment such as machine guns, human wave tactics are becoming increasingly unfeasible, and elite soldier policies are what we need. Moreover, we cannot afford to have a large army, nor do we have sufficient funds and strength. Concentrating our advantageous resources and focusing on developing industries that can most effectively enhance our military's actual strength is the fundamental key."

  These words were spoken by Sanders.

  Certain words coming from Catherine's mouth didn't sound quite as believable, but coming from Saunders, they took on a whole different meaning and were far more credible.

  "Yes, concentrate superior resources." An official nodded in agreement.

  "Electronic chips, display devices, wireless communication devices, radar, energy, these are the difficulties we need to overcome. Especially electronic chips. Without a processing device, we can't complete everything. Electronic chips are the core of everything."

  Sanders' words were somewhat self-serving.

  After all, who doesn't want their business to develop?

  But Catherine also agreed with this, after all, she had always dreamed of being able to play computer games. With sufficient investment, everything would be fine.

  Although the Pentagon has not yet discussed the issue of the project, it is clear that they are really moved this time.

  Project establishment and investment are just a matter of time, and this time won't be too long...
