The training machine that Instructor Chen and the commanders and fighters of the tank brigade were shocked by was nothing more than a casual game for Guan Fei. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

To put it bluntly, the tank trainer is nothing more than a realistic game, which is his professional strength.

At the beginning, in order to become a game designer, he completed countless realistic game equipment independently in the virtual space of Thinking.com, from the most basic bee to the top realistic game warehouse, and repeated it over and over again, and he almost wanted to vomit.

This is the same reason that today's computer students have to practice assembly programming repeatedly.

And because the biological master control computer that is responsible for teaching tasks is always supervised, he can't be lazy, so for him, it is easy to copy a tank simulation suitable for this era, and he has dozens or hundreds of solutions without using biological subbrains.

Like what to use slide rails to simulate the inertia when starting and stopping; Use hydraulic columns to simulate the bumpy state of the tank driving on rough roads, or even overturning; Use high-strength springs to simulate the body shock of the tank in motion and collision; Use the display screen to simulate changes in the external scene; The use of detachable engines, tracks, and transmission parts to simulate battlefield maintenance, replacement of training ......, and so on, are all pediatrics.

The only thing he had to consider was the technical constraints brought about by the times.

For example, the scene virtualization that was easy to achieve in later generations is now too backward, forcing him to build a main control room for the trainer, and use more than 10,000 actuarial type 2 processors to carry out real-time distribution operations.

With this supercomputer center, the size of the virtual scene is only 20 kilometers by 20 kilometers, with a total area of less than 400 square kilometers.

For these 400 square kilometers of scenes, the existing computing power still cannot keep up.

This in turn forced him to perform a hierarchical calculation according to the distance of the user's position: within 400 meters of the trainer, the scene has the highest degree of refinement, and the minimum terrain composition unit is 10 centimeters; 400 meters to one kilometer, the minimum terrain unit is meters; Beyond a kilometer of terrain, the minimum construction unit has been expanded to 10 meters, and only a basic outline can be roughly constructed, and the details are completely ignored.

And that's not going to work.

Considering that each unit includes several additional property settings such as length, width, and height, as well as materials, the amount of data processed is too large to rely on the computing center alone.

You must know that the terrain within 400 meters alone contains 16 million points, a total of 360,000 points in scenes within 400 meters to 1 kilometer, and a total of 3.61 million points are required to depict scenes 1 kilometer away, adding up to nearly 20 million points that need to be calculated in real time!

And for each point, each time a property description is added, the amount of operation is increased by multiples, and the higher the degree of realism, the greater the amount of operation.

In actual use, it is certainly impossible for the hedgehogs to be gathered together, most of them are from all over the place, and the amount of computing has skyrocketed, and even supercomputers are very difficult to process.

Therefore, in order to save computing resources, the computing center is only responsible for the construction of pure mesh scenes, and only includes the three attribute characteristics of length, width and height. Detailed processing such as specific materials, physical properties, and appearance maps are handed over to the server processing units of each trainer for real-time calculations to reduce the pressure on the computing center.

Each trainer calculation unit only calculates the details of the scene within 400 meters of its own position, and if it exceeds the range, it will be replaced by textures to be sufficient.

The scene built in this way is vivid when viewed from a distance of more than ten meters, but when you get closer to two or three meters, you can clearly see the rough grains.

In addition, flowers, trees, buildings, etc., there is no more computing power to simulate, so they have to replace them with textures.

In such a scene, if Guan Fei had been handed in as homework in the original era, he would definitely have been judged to have failed by the biology computer teacher immediately, and would even give a lower evaluation because of his perfunctory laziness.

But in this era, it is the top realistic equipment!

In this set of training equipment, the tank crews can at least accept more than 80 percent of the training subject exercises, without the need to use real tanks, which greatly saves the motorcycle wear and tear hours of the engine, transmission parts, and fuel of real tanks, and achieves almost real training results.

As for the power consumption of processor chips, various electronic components, circuit boards, chassis power supplies, and computing centers, it is really not a matter for the base economic system of the semi-planned economy!

Compared with the trainer designed by Guan Fei, the world's most advanced virtual trainer is nothing more than a primary product of simulating the scene with a projection screen, which roughly allows the trainer to understand the internal structure of the equipment, the shape characteristics of the components and the use of the method, and it is impossible for the trainer to completely grasp the requirements of the relevant training subjects with a near-real training experience.

Compared with the two sides, there is at least two or three generations of difference!

If this were not the case, how could all the commanders and fighters of the tank brigade and the domestic instructors be shocked by it!

……

On both sides of a country dirt road that is no more than three or five meters wide, there are paddy fields similar to those in the south of the Yangtze River.

A group of 59 improved tanks with octagonal inclined armored turrets marched on this dirt road at a distance of 10 meters between the front and the rear. At the rear of the tank, the green smoke after the diesel fuel burns continues, the rumbling engine sound is low and powerful, the metal sonorous sound from the collision of the tracks and the driving wheels makes people's teeth sour, and large swaths of dirt are turned up from the ground by the tracks, and then peeled off because of the rotation, sprinkling the sides of the deep ruts pressed out after the tank is opened.

On the right side of this group of tanks, close to the edge of the dirt road, the infantrymen wearing the 79-style digital camouflage of the base area and carrying the full marching equipment on their backs formed two columns in order to pass slowly on foot. Because the road was too narrow, in some sections, the infantry could only take off their military boots and socks, pull up their trousers, step into the paddy fields on both sides, and slowly move forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

As you look upwards, you can see that the marching army is not in sight, and the convoy of tanks, armored vehicles, communication vehicles with high whip-like antennas, jeeps, trucks with howitzers and mortars, and so on is also visible.

Anyone with a little military knowledge can see that this is a large army on the march, with thousands of troops and horses.

"Well, that's not true......"

In the telecommunications classroom of the tank brigade, Brigade Commander Chai and other senior commanders looked at the marching scene on the projection screen, and they all had stunned expressions and couldn't close their mouths.

"Of course, they are all fake, except that these sixteen tanks are the tank column simulated by Instructor Chen's training machine, which is controlled by real people, and the real-time signals collected during the training are displayed after being processed by the computer. The rest of the infantry and convoys are virtualized by computers, and for us, it's no different to look at the surreal sci-fi settings of science fiction movies.

Our set of training equipment not only has tactical detachment training, but also has combined training in large formations, and can cooperate with the coordinated operations of the aviation unit, artillery unit, air defense unit, infantry, missile, telecommunications, and radar unit, and at the same time, it is also equipped with a comprehensive simulator for the training equipment of the command department, the communications department, the field hospital, the logistics department, and other departments, and the purpose in the future is to build a complete simulated training base for all branches of the armed forces.

The scene you see now is the perspective of the referee processed by the computer, which can be used to inspect and judge the training subjects in all directions and at any height.

I would like to remind you that these roles played by computers on both sides are quite intelligent, and they will not just stand and be beaten, but will also judge and react according to the situation. And the computer has a certain learning ability, and it may be very naïve at the beginning to trick it into making wrong decisions, but as it collects more data from the simulator user, it will slowly improve the decision-making method, and it will become more and more difficult to deal with, and it is likely to be pressed and beaten by the trainer. The technician in charge of the commentary smiled.

"What, computers still learn and improve!" Brigade Commander Chai and the others were completely shocked.

Of course, as long as the corresponding program software is written, the computer can also learn various strategies and tactics from human opponents. Our set of integrated combat trainers, its intelligence part and algorithm part, but all written by the commander himself, we are only responsible for scene construction, texture material collection, the core part of us don't know how to design, even can't understand it! The technician explained to them in an admiring tone.

"It turned out that the commander himself wrote it, no wonder!"

Brigade Commander Chai and the others didn't understand this intelligent program or algorithm at all, but as soon as they heard that the commander had written it himself, they immediately accepted this fact unconditionally.

However, computer computing resources are limited, and these enemies play roles, and the intelligence level is from high to low, and it is impossible to set a set of behavior mode programs for each role, but share a set of public behavior judgment system. Things like path selection, target determination, attack methods, defensive strategies, combat will, etc., are shared by all characters, and will be automatically called in the scene according to the situation encountered. Military divisions, brigades, and even battalions are basically computer-controlled strategic operations, and the scene is large, but the computing resources used are actually not much. According to the battlefield situation, it will make a variety of options such as attack, defense, retreat, detour, outflanking, siege, assault, etc., and control each specific tactical object to carry out actions on the driving of the training simulator. In the words of the Commander, this is a very advanced multiplayer real-time strategy console, and it is named Red Alert! The technician took the trouble to explain to them exactly how the system worked, and his tone was full of reverence for Guan Feiding's worship.

Red Alert?

Such a domineering name, worthy of being a commander, even a training system can take such a powerful and good name.

Moreover, according to what the technician just said, this training system is not only used to train tank troops, but will also be used to join the air force, missiles, and other branches of the armed forces in the future, and eventually realize the simulated training of the whole army.

Brigade Commander Chai and others really couldn't imagine that in the future, hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people would be on red alert at the same time, carrying out various branches of the military and coordinating the drill. With so many people coming in, the seemingly large troops on the projection screen are no longer just the role of friend or foe played by computers, but all real people!

Then switch to the referee's point of view, looking down on the torrent of steel......

Just thinking about it, they were all stimulated by the magnificent scene, and their blood boiled and they were excited.
