After the clearing, the lecture continued. Jing Jian gradually mentioned the core content: "...Some people may ask, what is the core technology of computers? I personally think it is digitalization. Let's take the example of the two superpowers of the United States and the Soviet Union. The working principle of electronic devices in the world is basically the transmission of analog signals. However, with the development of computer technology, especially the development of chip technology, in the future, it will be replaced by digital signals. In Moore's Law, when the price remains unchanged, the number of components that can be accommodated on integrated circuits will double every 18 to 24 months, and the performance will also double. In other words, the performance of computers that can be purchased for every dollar will more than double every 18-24 months."

"Moore's Law was proposed by Gordon Moore, one of the founders of Intel. Pay attention to Intel, which will become one of the leading companies in the third industrial revolution in the future. This law is very interesting, what does it mean? The computers you purchased 18 to 24 months ago can be thrown into the garbage dump. Let's take a figurative metaphor, for example, our army initially used a large knife spear, changed to a smoothbore gun after 18 months, and then used a rifle gun after 18 months. In another 18 months, good guys used semi-automatic rifles, and then 18 months later, fully automatic rifles, cannons, aircraft and tanks, etc. are all armed... You can imagine that if the soldiers holding the large knife spear come to see the world after 10 years, they see the airplanes and cannons all over the world? Will they feel like a primitive man?..."

As the content deepened, someone had already handed the notes on the stage. Jing Jian put the notes aside and smiled and said, "After I finish reporting, I will leave time for everyone to ask questions and do my best to answer every question."

"We just introduced that the first thing is the application on satellites, and satellites will be the key to the entire national defense system in the future..."

"Now, let's talk about the problem of combining computers' powerful processing capabilities with existing weapons. This scope is relatively wide. I'll briefly introduce it here..."

"Assisting military management is also very important. Before the troops move, food and grass will take the lead. The overall war itself tests the comprehensive national strength. Moreover, our People's Liberation Army not only guarantees national defense security, but also has disaster relief tasks, so..."

“…”

These are almost common sense in the future, but now they are basically unheard of. After ending this basic situation introduction, Jing Jian continued: "Since computers have been widely used, the US military has proposed the concept of building a digital force. In order to give everyone an intuitive impression, I will play another animation..."

"… From this picture, we can see that the development brought about by computer IT technology will lead to blurring in the front and rear, blurring between the troops, and war will become an inseparable system. Here, I have a new term - live-streamed war."

"... Then how do digital troops fight? Based on the picture, I will analyze it for you."

"... Here, I will introduce the achievements that the US military has achieved. Although some are still in the form of a prototype, at least they have been listed in active service. I will still introduce it in combination with the picture."

“…”

At the end, Jing Jian said: "Today I am not stingy and talked about some personal humble opinions. Some places may have minor problems, and some places also need research and corrections such as weapon experts, strategic experts, training and management experts. But one thing I want to call again is that we must pay attention to the development of computer IT. This is a revolutionary invention and one of the symbols of the third industrial wave. In the end, I said a little behind the scenes. So many film masters in Hollywood do not believe in the film revolution brought by new technologies, and they can't even find a director to shoot my winning film. I drove it on the shelves and personally served as the director. What's going on in the end? Winning the Oscar! And the same is true in military affairs. The new revolution will stunned everyone, and our People's Liberation Army is to be at the forefront of this new wave!"

The audience burst into warm applause, but the applause had not stopped, and the note was rushing to pass up. Jing Jian smiled and picked up the first one: "Director Jing, thank you for the new thinking. I have a question, why did the Soviet Union not conduct research on this aspect? Because in the past, the United States and the Soviet Union would compete in all areas of military affairs, and it was nothing more than a question of who was ahead and who was lagging behind. But this aspect was the shortcomings of the Soviet Union. Will there be any story in it?"

Due to historical reasons and backward technology, the PLA's equipment organization has been learning from the Soviet Union. This is actually a very rational approach. You can lead the mines and I just follow you cutely. Although you are a few steps behind, at least you won't waste any time and money. You really can't learn from the United States. The gap in technology is too big, so I can't do it?

Jing Jian smiled: "This comrade is very careful? Indeed! There is indeed a story here. During the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union were preparing for nuclear war, so among electronic devices, the Soviet Union chose electronic tubes that could survive in the nuclear war, but did not choose semiconductor integrated circuits. Do you still remember Moore's Law just introduced? At that time, the effects of electron tubes and semiconductors were not much different, and even the electronic tubes were mature in technology and had faster computing speeds. Anyway, they were all stupid large computers.

Unexpectedly, after 18 to 24 months, semiconductors will be updated and replaced, becoming more and more mature, and the speed of computing will be faster and faster. In the end, the distance between the two countries will be further and further. In other words, the Soviet Union pointed to the wrong science and technology tree in scientific research. The quantitative change to qualitative change brought about by semiconductor upgrades, and finally people even ignore the survival problem under the nuclear war. However, this has no impact on our country. It is itself poor and naughty. No matter which country is advanced, we can learn it!"

"Dr. Jing, after listening to your introduction, the war mode in the future will become completely different. What surprised me in particular is that you said there are many active equipment from the US military. Sorry, this is not a question, but a caution. Can you give some specific examples?"
