Chapter 332: America’s Intelligence Organization in a Flustered Situation (Continued) (Ch 332)

“Mr. Director, what does the technical analysis department think?” asked an official.

“I have asked them to analyze the intelligence sent back by the ‘Mole’ overnight.” Director Burns said, turning his gaze to a middle-aged man sitting in the corner, “Thomson, you tell us about it.”

The middle-aged man called Thomson is the head of the CIA’s technical analysis department and an expert in the field of artificial intelligence.

At this moment, his face was extremely pale, his forehead was covered with sweat, and the report in his hand was trembling slightly due to nervousness.

Thomson suppressed his inner emotions and stood up.

“According to our preliminary analysis…” Thomson’s voice was a little hoarse, “Longguo’s artificial intelligence system named ‘Little Dumpling’ has surpassed our current technological level in all aspects.”

“Specifically?” Chief Burns asked.

“First, it has an extremely fast reaction speed. It can judge the battlefield situation and formulate the best combat plan within milliseconds,” said Thomson. “Second, it has a very strong learning ability. It can constantly adjust its own strategy according to the enemy’s tactical actions, so as to always seize the initiative on the battlefield.”

“Also,” Thomson swallowed and continued, “the most terrifying thing is its combat capability in an electromagnetic interference environment… According to the intelligence sent back by the ‘Mole’, in this exercise, the Dragon Army simulated a strong electromagnetic interference environment, but in this case, the hit rate of the ‘Little Dumpling’ system is still higher than that of our ‘Cobra’ system… 37% higher!”

“37%?!” an air force general exclaimed, “How is this possible? Our ‘Cobra’ system has invested a lot of money and manpower in this area!”

“I find it hard to believe, but the data is there,” Thomson said helplessly. “In addition to the hit rate, the tactical reconstruction speed of the ‘Little Dumpling’ system is also far faster than that of our ‘Cobra’ system. According to our calculations, the tactical reconstruction speed of ‘Little Dumpling’ is at least 4.8 times faster than that of ‘Cobra’!”

“4.8 times…” There was another sound of gasps in the conference room.

This number, like a curse, made everyone present feel a tingling sensation on their scalp.

“Gentlemen, I think you all know what this means.” Director Burns’ voice sounded again, “This means that in future air battles, if we cannot improve our artificial intelligence technology as soon as possible, we will be left far behind by the Dragon people, and we will lose our proud air superiority.”

“If we lose our air superiority, what will we lose? I think you know better than me!” Director Burns emphasized his tone and swept his eyes across the faces of every participant. “So, gentlemen, we don’t have much time left.”

In the conference room, a heavy, depressing atmosphere was like a dark cloud, hanging over everyone’s heart.

Everyone knows that this emergency briefing at three in the morning will be a turning point, the beginning of a new era that the U.S. intelligence community and even the entire United States must face.

The name of this era is “artificial intelligence”.
