Chapter 886: Fast and Slow

"The test has passed, everyone has worked hard!"

Seeing the prompt on the screen that "the stand-in recovery program has been started, ...... in progress", Atletico shook his shoulders and stretched, turned to look around, "Finally solved this big 'trouble'." Do you want to go to see the plane in the afternoon? professional commentary, strength bag, you deserve it!"

However, Atletico's proposal did not get a response from Tang Jiayi, who was staring at the screen in a daze.

"Jiajia, wife, lady, child, mother?"

"Don't make trouble!" Stretching out his hand and slapping away the big hand that was dangling in front of his eyes, Tang Jiayi said angrily: "Think about something!"

"Hmm, what do you think? Is it that I haven't seen my child for a few days, or has I forgotten to do my job?"

"Neither," Tang Jiayi pointed to the screen, "Hey, you say, the current AI is getting more and more powerful, voice dialogue, unmanned driving, all kinds of walking, and now even the Internet has been checked, is it time to improve itself next, and then give birth to Skynet to start the Terminator plot? ”

"Dear, you're thinking too much!" Hearing this, Atletico shook his head, "Don't look at the current neural network computers are all kinds of powerful, winning the world championship in chess, turning the machine close to artificial, composing poems and paintings are difficult to distinguish between true and false, but they are just simple imitations of the biological central nervous system, and do not produce self-awareness, no matter how smart and powerful they are, they are just advanced tools in the hands of people." ”

"Oh, what's the matter? You have to destroy humanity first, and you have to know 'Who am I??

"Of course, if you don't have self-awareness, why do you have to fight against humans? So, rest assured, there's still a long time before the Terminator plot comes. ”

Standing up, walking to the window and looking at the fighter jets flying outside, Atletico turned his back to the window and said: "I am more worried that AI will exacerbate unemployment and repeat the scene of the 18th century craftsmen smashing steam-powered looms than AI rebelling against humanity to destroy the world." ”

"I know this," Tang Jiayi also walked to the window and looked up at the sky, "Whenever there is a major upgrade in production tools, it will have an impact on the industry and society, backward production capacity will be eliminated, and a large number of practitioners will change careers." Jet engines have eliminated most propeller aircraft, but why haven't we heard of ground crews and pilots smashing jets?"

"This is all due to social progress. Pilots are also elite professions, and it's good to go back to drive racing cars and repair motorcycles if you can't drive a plane. ”

Tools upgrade productivity progress, which leads to massive unemployment and increases the relief capacity of the whole society, so as to avoid the radicalization of contradictions, and then there is the modern welfare state. Tang Jiayi obviously thought of this, so she didn't have much negative emotions about sadness.

"Poof! How can an airplane and a motorcycle fit together?"

"Why can't it? Some people put aircraft engines on motorcycles, and some people use motorcycle engines to make small airplanes, doesn't it mean that there is a blood connection between the two industries?"

Tang Jiayi turned her head to look at him, and said with a smile: "That's right, don't you know what tail nozzles and star engines are when you bully me?"

Indeed, someone put a turboshaft engine for a helicopter on a motorcycle, and succeeded in creating a powerful ground monster.

However, this kind of motorcycle can only be driven to the track to install beeps, and too high tail vent temperature will cause interference or even injury to other vehicles on the road. Coupled with high fuel consumption and high cost, it has not been able to develop. The Dark Horse Range Extender of the Pony Vehicle is also plagued by the temperature at the rear of the car, and although the production car retains the turboshaft range extender design, it puts most of its resources on the development of pure electric models, which can be regarded as a technical abandonment of it.

Atletico nodded and shook his head, "Let's not talk about the tail nozzle, the star engine is not the key." ”

"In the past, propeller aircraft used star engines, because this layout is compact and strong and resistant to beating, which is conducive to improving the speed and survivability of the aircraft. ”

"If you still don't believe me," Atletico pointed outside, "just follow me and see, seeing is believing!"

"Don't go!" Tang Jiayi said very dryly, "I have already seen the beautiful and fun the day before yesterday and yesterday, and now I can still watch the gods and horses when I run over?"

Looking through the window, you can see Xiangshan Airport not far away, where the 11th International Airshow is in full swing.

In addition to military aircraft, tanks, rockets, and satellites, civil aircraft, business jets, helicopters, and civilian unmanned aircraft can also be seen at the Xiangshan Air Show. Airlines buy a few or dozens of planes at the air show, and the order amount is hundreds of millions, and they are all dollars. But the biggest stars of the air show are always the advanced fighters, such as the famous Black Ribbon J20.

Although this much-anticipated fifth-generation fighter only made a brief appearance on the first day of the air show, then flew away and disappeared, and did not arrange a special performance or even a model display or anything, it still murdered a lot of battery capacity and data traffic, which caused heated discussions among netizens and once dominated the headlines on the Internet. If it weren't for the sudden earthquake in New Zealand that night, which diverted the attention of netizens, it would have been in the limelight for several days.

Atletico Madrid's companies also participated in the air show, bringing a number of products including flapping wing drones, flight backpacks, manned drones, micro-nano satellites, and the AeroSim2 flight training system, among which AS2 and two satellite applications "Pretend to be in Space" and "My Satellite" were also arranged to have on-site experiences.

The first day of the exhibition was a great success, garnering a lot of on-site attention and news. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and the next day the bees were surrounded by the "erasure door" and had to change their plans to upgrade the identification system in advance. Now that the trouble is solved, Atletico finally has time to go out to see the exhibition, and keep pushing each other to go with him.

"There is no black ribbon, there is no zoo in our house," Atletico stretched out his hand and patted his wife on the back, "Even if you are not interested in these things, you can go and see other planes, and if you come across a plane that you are satisfied with, you can place an order on the spot." ”

"And, it seems that the letter of intent for the purchase of those helicopters has already been signed, this time it's just a formality, you like to go, please don't get involved with me!"

"As for your bugs, I won't wait to go back and see them? Anyway, the company can't run the temple there. ”

"Okay," Atletico nodded helplessly, turned around and stretched out his hand to rub the other party's waist and hips, "The husband is not going anywhere today, just stay here to accompany the lady." Actually, it's a good location, if it's right here......"

Before the second half of the sentence could be spoken, Tang Jiayi was rudely interrupted, "It's not good here!

"Huh?" Atletico pretended to be confused, and then pretended to be enlightened, "I mean just stay here and watch the plane, where do you think?"

"Hmph, who believes this? Look at the plane, what are you doing with my skirt?"

Tang Jiayi pushed away the big hand that was making a fool of herself on her waist, walked a few steps to avoid the window, and took off her clothes by herself, "Forget it, let's go out to see the plane, wait for me to change my clothes!"

That being said, after taking off her coat, she dragged Atletico to the bathroom. She didn't suddenly change her mind and planned to stage a bathroom scene, pulling someone in just to let him help with the day job, it would be troublesome to wash her hair too long, and it would be much better to have a coolie to help.

By the time she had combed her hair and dressed up, it was nearly four o'clock in the afternoon. Fortunately, the airport is on the side, and a few steps across the street is the entrance to the exhibition, but you can catch a tail.

Like other exhibitions, the six-day exhibition period of the Xiangshan Airshow is divided in half, with the first three days being professional days for industry and media professionals, and the last three days being public days for ordinary consumers. It's the last two hours of the last professional day, and the Russian Air Force's Swift show is performing a flight show in a corner of the airport, attracting a considerable part of the popularity, so much so that there are more staff than spectators everywhere else.

However, this was not at the Bee booth, where the popularity was still high, even more than in the previous two days.

In fact, this is normal, after three busy days, the reports that should be sent have been issued, the contracts that should have been signed have been signed, and the reporters and merchants have also relaxed and have time to find what they are interested in. Then, many people were attracted by the demo content on the bee booth.

The AeroSim2 flight training system is an air combat simulation, which takes the audience to the battlefield of World War I and experiences flying a biplane;

Walking through the booth exhibition area where they were busy cleaning the planes and sorting out the exhibits, the two of them finally returned to the bee booth and naturally saw this lively scene.

"It's getting more and more like a game show, hehe," Tang Jiayi whispered, pointing to the crowd, "Standing here to take a photo, take it and say that it was taken on CJ, and some people will believe it." ”

"Alas, it's all forced to be helpless, so don't rub salt on your wounds," Atletico begged for mercy.

Although bees are keen to participate in professional air shows, they only see it as a tool to improve the quality of the class, to put it bluntly, they are here to gild. The ultimate goal is to enhance the image and influence in the minds of ordinary consumers, and naturally cannot be as cold as other aviation companies.

The reason for this is also related to the poor development of Bee's aviation business.

The essence of consumer-grade unmanned aircraft is actually a visual/video remote control model aircraft, and the price of 100 million professional unmanned aircraft is not the same thing at all, bees in all aspects of the consumer field resources can not be well transplanted to the professional field, manned without 'man-machine has never been able to get airworthiness certificates, has been in the stage of self-care and shouting.

AeroSim flight simulators and other avionics products have been produced, but they have never been accepted by the market, so they have to find another way to make consumer-grade products, and naturally have to build a good relationship with consumers and please more.

In fact, the reason for this is completely Atletico Madrid's layman's mistake and ignoring the law of development of the aviation industry.

The electronics industry and related software industries were evolving rapidly on an 18-month cycle before Moore's Law expired. However, the aviation industry is influenced by materials science, and the speed of development goes from fast to slow, until new materials and new structures are discovered. Under certain conditions, the two sides will intersect, but eventually they will separate.

Airborne radar, television remote control guidance, infrared homing guidance, horizontal display, flat panel display, helmet aiming and other electronic technologies were applied to military aircraft for the first time, and the new military aircraft at that time always represented the highest application level of electronic systems.

However, after the end of the Cold War, the upgrading of military aircraft has slowed down significantly, and the F16 entered service in 1978 and the F22 has been in service for 11 years.

In terms of floating-point and integer computing performance alone, the processors of mainstream mobile phones can kill these active aircraft in seconds. Of course, military software may look crude, but it is absolutely powerful, and it doesn't crash easily.

This is true for military aircraft, and it is also true for civilian aircraft, which are being replaced even more slowly. The Airbus A320 has been sold since 1988, and the best-selling small aircraft PA-28 "Cherokee" is the grandfather born in 1961. The reason why these uncles continue to sell well is that they are favored by airlines and authorities because their time-tested designs are more safe and reliable, and at the same time, they are relatively inexpensive.

Since mature models are still selling well, aircraft companies are naturally not keen to launch new products, and a small facelift is required every few years. The last time the entire civil aviation system keeps pace with the times and is in line with the world, it is to collectively block the Boom7 with the potential danger of spontaneous combustion.

For ordinary passengers, such conservatism is to ensure safety and not risk the lives of passengers, and it should be accepted that it has been cautiously encouraged. But for Atletico, this conservative and closed atmosphere is the rhythm of the pro-life.

His bees and ponies are real newcomers to the industry, not to mention the history of technology, not to mention the lack of technology, experience and experience, although they have come up with a lot of new products, but they have limited response and have not been able to stir up much splash in the industry.

Then Atletico Madrid began to "give up on itself, tossing and turning", Pegasus manned without man-machine is still continuing to update, but it has become a thorough PPT product, the appearance is more cool flight performance is greatly reduced; AeroSim2 Although it still has the name of flight training system, the focus of business has changed from airlines and flight schools to the consumer field, and has become a high-end toy; of course, the biggest game is still two satellite constellations, which are completely used for advertising at their sky-high prices, and they don't think about making money at all.
