Chapter 61: AI Combat Assistance System

Inside the private fitness area of the gym, He Xingzhou and Xu Zhilan stood facing each other on the boxing ring.

He Xingzhou had just finished warming up, and his blood was pumping. Opposite him, Xu Zhilan wore a tight-fitting black gym outfit that perfectly accentuated her exceptionally stunning S-curve.

Combined with her naturally pretty face, she made the entire ring feel charged with hormones.

"Today we are going to practice defensive combat techniques simply, the requirements aren't high," Xu Zhilan said. "I don't expect you to defeat others; you just need to be able to escape and counter when someone attacks you."

"Are you ready?"

"Ready, let's start!" He Xingzhou bent his knees slightly, locked in his lower stance, and began the lesson.

The moment He Xingzhou uttered the word "start," he found that the temperament of the sexy beauty before him changed abruptly. She suddenly transformed into a battle-hardened female warrior. Before He Xingzhou could even react, she locked onto his arm with a claw-like grip, executed a counter-grab with a flick of her hand, and pinned him to the floor.

"I didn't even react in time," He Xingzhou cried out. "Let's start over."

"Come again," Xu Zhilan reminded him. "Pay attention to my movements, recall the essentials I taught you earlier—how to dodge, how to break free!"

However, when she attacked again, He Xingzhou was subdued once more.

After practicing for an hour, He Xingzhou was exhausted, but the outcome remained entirely unchanged.

"Phew, this is so exhausting!" He Xingzhou sighed.

"It's not exhausting, it's just that your training time is still too short," Xu Zhilan said earnestly. "Actually, your talent is quite good. If you train seriously, you could definitely achieve some results."

"Besides, during the training just now, you weren't very focused. You kept thinking about other things, didn't you?"

He Xingzhou nodded and said, "There are too many things to handle for the Xuanwu Project; my mind simply can't stay idle."

"And my time is limited. I don't have that much energy to train in combat, firearms, or the operation of large-scale military weapons."

"That's true, but this kind of training requires time to yield results," Xu Zhilan said helplessly.

"I think I have a vague idea forming." With some scattered plans taking shape in his mind, He Xingzhou said, "Sister Zhilan, let's practice one more set. I should be able to figure it out."

"Alright." Xu Zhilan pulled him up by the arm and asked, "What shall we practice?"

"Why don't you demonstrate a scissor kick?" He Xingzhou suggested.

"A scissor kick?" Xu Zhilan said. "That's a move only used in movies; it doesn't have much practical utility."

"I know, let's set practicality aside for a moment," He Xingzhou said.

"Fine, attack me however you like!" Xu Zhilan took a step back, increasing the distance.

Wearing boxing gloves, He Xingzhou stepped forward with his left leg, leveraged the strength of his waist, and threw a right hook.

Just as he was about to strike Xu Zhilan, she deflected his fist with one hand, pulled him forward, and simultaneously flipped into a handstand. Her slender legs wrapped around his neck like a snake, knocking He Xingzhou to the ground and locking his neck in a scissor grip with her feet.

Because it was just training, Xu Zhilan didn't exert much force, allowing He Xingzhou to breathe normally. He could feel her elastic thighs pressing against his neck, transmitting the warmth of exercise through their gym clothes.

He Xingzhou said nothing, and Xu Zhilan remained silent. The two of them maintained this position for a dozen seconds.

He Xingzhou tapped the hem of Xu Zhilan's pants, and she released him. Taking a few deep breaths, his face flushed with excitement, He Xingzhou said, "I've got it."

"What?" Xu Zhilan's face was also slightly flushed.

"I know which direction to take now," He Xingzhou said. "Think about it: just like me, our soldiers need years of endless training to become qualified warriors. Leaving aside their physical endurance, learning combat skills requires not only time and effort, but also talent!"

"The Zerg are not ordinary enemies; they are far more brutal than humans. Once the Zerg crisis erupts, it will instantly sweep across the globe, leaving us no time to train soldiers or adapt to new equipment and new adversaries."

"Therefore, I want to build an AI combat assistance system."

"Let it learn various combat techniques, and then assist soldiers in analyzing and applying those skills."

"Much like a martial arts master, my AI only needs to watch his movements once to memorize all his techniques and analyze his vulnerabilities! It can then easily impart this experience to ordinary people. If this AI system is paired with a carrier like some kind of armor, it will be equivalent to mass-producing peerless martial arts masters!"

"An AI combat assistance system?" Seeing that he had figured it out, Xu Zhilan was genuinely happy for him and said, "Although I don't know what it will look like in detail, anything you build will definitely be amazing!"

"Of course!" He Xingzhou thought to himself: assuming he built a set of military mechanical exoskeleton or metal armor, it would take a massive amount of time for soldiers to train in using it.

Knowing how to operate it, becoming an expert, and fighting enemies would likewise demand immense time and natural talent.

If an AI system were added to provide assistance, it could directly replicate and learn combat techniques. Relying on the AI's reaction speed and operational speed would undoubtedly skyrocket the military's combat effectiveness!

Moreover, this was only a preliminary concept; this kind of AI combat assistance system could also be applied to all sorts of weaponry.

"When we possess a large number of AI-system weapons, we can control them using a massive, powerful artificial intelligence military system, and combat on the battlefield will become as effortless as moving one's own fingers!" He Xingzhou mused.

"Then how do you plan to do it?" Xu Zhilan asked curiously.

He Xingzhou replied, "AI systems can be continuously upgraded. Since the related weapon equipment doesn't exist yet, I can build an initial version first."

"For example, by utilizing AI machine learning, we can record all the combat techniques of special operations elites like you, let the machine learn them, and then use the machine to assist soldiers in training or applying those skills."

"To put it in layman's terms, I want to replicate all your combat techniques into a computer, and use artificial intelligence to analyze, combine, and create! It can serve as a teacher for soldiers, and once a suitable weapon carrier appears, it can directly become the assistive intelligence for that weapon carrier!"

Xu Zhilan understood a little, but as for the specific methods, she was completely in the dark.

Watching He Xingzhou speak excitedly about his plan, Xu Zhilan inexplicably felt that the man before her possessed an intoxicating charm. He was a creator of miracles, and his thoughts were beyond ordinary comprehension!

At the same time, he was a man of action who was changing the world with every passing moment!

Could a second person like him be found anywhere else in the world?

Xu Zhilan's eyes gradually curved into crescent moons, holding a hint of infatuation in her gaze.

Once he had finalized the plan, He Xingzhou immediately set about making preparations.

He returned home, activated the quantum optical brain, and checked the technology tree.

"First, spend 1,000 units of energy to study basic computer science."

"2,000 units of energy to unlock basic AI technology."

Without a second thought, He Xingzhou spent 3,000 units of energy in one go. After absorbing the information stream from the quantum optical brain, he already had a general idea in mind.

"The core of my so-called AI combat assistance system is a biometric recognition and analysis system. It needs to be able to recognize various human movements and analyze them, which requires the machine to undergo a vast amount of learning. Fortunately, I can mobilize massive resources right now, so that shouldn't be a problem."
