Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty-Six - China's Aviation Industry Was Pushed to the Brink
Chapter 536 - The Chinese aviation industry is pushed to the edge of the cliff
Why is Boeing so lucky? This is completely equivalent to God coming down again and giving Boeing a golden finger.
Although no one has asked about the level of intelligence of this "Adam" intelligent system, as an airborne unmanned combat system, it is certainly not low, and people from Boeing are unlikely to reveal more information.
Experts from various countries repeatedly asked questions, but the host only answered a small part of the questions, and most of the questions were refused on the grounds of military confidentiality.
Although experts from various countries had already expected it, they still could not restrain their excitement. Even part of the information revealed was enough to move them.
"I would like to ask, is your hardware sufficient to support the operation of the Adam system? Is the core processing using military processors provided by Intel, AMD or other processor manufacturers?"
Dr. Thomas Rogan, an aviation expert from Lockheed Martin, asked again. As an old competitor of Boeing, Lockheed is naturally well aware of Boeing's strength.
Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. Lockheed's experts knew that there was such a high-performance intelligent system, and naturally they would not let go of such a precious opportunity.
Regardless of whether intelligent systems are used or not, processors on fighter jets have always been widely used. For example, the F-35 fighter jet is equipped with six Motorola POCs) to provide digital flight control and general systems (such as fuel, electrical, and hydraulic system control).
) hardware and software.
Therefore, in order to maximize the performance of the airframe, in addition to the software system, there is also a sufficient hardware platform. This platform must be redundant. Three sets of VMCs in the F-35 airframe form the core of the distributed aircraft system. The actual work
There is only one vc, and the other two are used together to compare each voting result. Even if one or two vcs are damaged or faulty, the aircraft can still operate normally.
Therefore, a large proportion of various processors are used in fighter aircraft, and the technical level of processors is also quite mature. Unlike civilian processors, they are full of bugs as soon as they are launched. When adjusting the step version in the later stage,
The fault will be gradually repaired.
In order to ensure the stability of system operations, the military sometimes has to recycle old processors for reuse, even from Chinese electronic waste disposal sites. Such cases have happened many times on the F-15 fighter jet, and the Pentagon has also done so.
The supplier's move to hunt for second-hand goods is quite helpless.
"The processing of the 'Adam' system application was specially customized by our Boeing company. It is the world's most advanced dedicated intelligent processor. Its computing performance is 800 times that of the F-35 core processor. It took five years to complete each fighter jet.
The core operating system integrates a total of nearly thirty-three processors, which is enough to meet the computing needs of various complex combat environments."
The host briefly introduced the performance of the processor, but did not name the manufacturer of the processor to prevent people from Lockheed from poaching.
After all, it is a dedicated processor for fighter jets. It may not be as wide-ranging as home-grade processors in office and multimedia applications, but its support for intelligent cores is specialized and efficient, and is specifically designed for flight and combat research and development.
Is it 800 times?
Dr. Thomas Logan was shocked.
Good guy, Boeing really spared no expense for this "Adam". The investment in research and development of the light processor may not be less than a billion dollars. It would be great if they could get their processor design drawings.
Thomas Logan's thoughts also represent the thoughts of many experts.
Not only Dr. Thomas Logan was shocked, experts from various countries all exclaimed in unison. It is conceivable that with the support of such powerful hardware and software, the combat performance of fa-xx will reach such outrageous levels.
As long as technical conditions permit, hardware and software can be improved hundreds of times, but the combat capabilities of human pilots cannot be doubled accordingly. Even an improvement of 10 is a secretly enjoyable thing, let alone an improvement.
More than double.
Thomas Logan remembered a recent rumor within Lockheed that the headquarters' "Laboratory 41" had accidentally synthesized a piece of "Fenrir" magical alloy that was extremely suitable for use in processors. It had extremely strong
If the performance enhancement capability is applied to this processor developed by Boeing, the performance improvement will probably be far more than 800 times that of the F-35 dedicated power pc microprocessor.
Maybe it is also a perfect match for this set of "Adam".
But whether this "Adam" intelligent combat system is a mule or a horse should be led out and ridden.
Perhaps Boeing's FA-xx fighter is the beginning of intelligent combat systems surpassing human pilots.
"You can try the human-machine conversation. It will be lunch time in thirty minutes. There will still be a two-hour tour in the afternoon. Then we will arrange for everyone to stay in Las Vegas. The flight demonstration will officially start tomorrow."
The host continued to introduce the next step of arrangements and itinerary, and then signaled the technicians to open the airborne unmanned combat system "Adam" to communicate with the experts through the voice dialogue module.
Human-computer dialogue!
This fresh live event immediately attracted the interest of experts. It is the most dramatic thing among dramas.
Hundreds of people suddenly surrounded the four fa-xx. Due to limited time, they could only queue up to talk, and each person was limited to three sentences.
The voice dialogue module of "Adam" only supports English. Experts who don't know English or whose English is not up to standard are directly in trouble and can only watch and stare.
...
Time always passes very quickly. After completing the short visit, the expert team from various countries left Area 51 in a bus under the escort of the army and drove to the southeastern city of Las Vegas.
In the secret military base of the Americans, the Chinese expert team automatically and consciously kept a low profile. The words they occasionally communicated were filled with "black words", and the occasional exchanges with foreign colleagues were concise.
Almost everyone understands that Boeing's invitation to visit Area 51 is definitely not as simple as today's old wolf inviting him to eat chicken.
"What do you think of that 'Adam'?"
Professor Yan asked Lin Mo, his apprentice sitting next to him.
I was holding back a lot of things in Area 51, but now I can say them with confidence.
Ever since the vehicle left Area 51, everyone felt a sense of relief for no reason.
Experts of their level are like American futures commodity consultants. Every word they say is full of gold, and even if they are not careful, it will cause unimaginable consequences, so they will be extra careful when speaking.
"The degree of intelligence is very high, close to the level of human intelligence. The combat effectiveness can indeed reach the level of an ace. It can only be regarded as a quasi-ace. If it is mass-produced, the threat will be very huge. We cannot have a large number of pure ace pilot teams."
Lin Mo's answer is consistent with what experts such as Professor Yan think.
During the human-machine dialogue, experts from various countries asked "Adam" on-site questions, most of which revolved around some tactical mathematical models and intelligence level judgments that can reflect performance and are not considered confidential.
"Adam" responded extremely sensitively, as if he were a real human being answering their questions. His answers were extremely quick and accurate, and even his tone changes reached a very high level.
Perhaps Boeing had made restrictions in advance, and the answer given by "Adam" was correspondingly reserved.
According to Lin Mo's observation, this intelligent system can indeed easily defeat ordinary pilots, but it is still not enough for the Dragon Knight, whose tactical maneuvers are as unconstrained as the sky.
He approached "Adam" and asked "Adam" about several combinations of tactical maneuvers, but the answer was that it couldn't be done. I'm afraid even Boeing had never thought of such a combination, so naturally this system couldn't do it.
A real ace can defeat "Adam", but no country can build an air force composed of pure ace pilots.
The watch on Lin Mo's wrist was beating fast, and the gold coin guy was angrily screaming in his mind: "Damn it, after finally coming out, he was put in a cardboard box. It's so arrogant. Dragon
The uncle should slaughter them, seize those birds and planes, and eat them one by one."
It was rare that the main body came out to join in the fun, but I didn't expect that Americans were not taboo about meat and vegetables, and the strict security inspection procedures directly excluded the gold dragon. This resulted in a rare gold coin being thrown away, and it was locked in a cardboard box for a long time.
I didn’t see anything, so needless to say I was very depressed.
The Americans were indeed blind to dragons and did not notice a fierce alien dragon hiding among the crowd.
Even if I spend gold coins to chew on that fa-xx fighter, I'm afraid I will be disappointed to find that half a mouthful of scum is indigestible. The more advanced the fighter, the less metal materials are used on it.
Fa-xx is not a delicious cookie for the gold dragon.
"Yes, if the Fa-xx is put into service, it will indeed pose a considerable threat to our country. I didn't expect Boeing's intelligent combat procedures to be so advanced. This is no longer a problem of airframe performance. We are already lagging behind.
If you take one step forward, you can no longer fall behind.”
Professor Yan thought about the more far-reaching threats from the future, and there was a look of deep worry on his face. Most of the other experts nearby also had the same look.
The shock was followed by a huge deterrent, and the emergence of "Adam" was no less than a nuclear weapon.
I am afraid that many countries are the same and will inevitably increase investment in artificial intelligence research in the future.
China's aviation industry has once again been pushed to the edge of the cliff.
"Yes, we must also step up the development of artificial intelligence programs, and we must not fall behind the Americans."
Shen Fei Qiugong's voice came from the back seat, and he had the same opinion.
