Chapter 276: Pterodactyl II
Towards the end of the year, the overall relocation of Matrix Holding Group has been gradually completed.
Yang Lin moved his office to the top floor of the Matrix Technology Building, where there is not only his office, but also a high-end apartment with an area of more than 500 square meters.
The apartment has a living room, bedroom, study, living room, and even a cinema, gym, and swimming pool.
Yang Lin also built a helipad on the top floor of the Matrix Technology Building, and ordered an EC225 Super Puma business helicopter from Eurocopter to facilitate future travel.
However, Yang Lin has no plans to move at present, this apartment can only be regarded as a spare residence, and only occasionally when Lin Qingya and Yang Ying come over and don't want to go home, they will stay in this apartment for one night.
"Mr. Yang, this is our company's latest revenue report for November, and throughout November, we sold a total of 3 million MatrixI. mobile phones, with a revenue of $2.05 billion. With 12 million pieces of Matrix Core No. 1 chip, revenue of 360 million US dollars, and the number of MatrixOS operating system users increased by 20 million, the total number of MatrixOS operating system users in the world has reached 640 million, and the market share has exceeded 50 percent,......"
Yang Lin looked through the documents in his hand a little absentmindedly, his eyes wandered over Bai Hua from time to time, thinking of the beauty of this girl when she was still tactful under him not long ago, Yang Lin's heart couldn't help but flutter.
"Yang Lin!"
Bai Hua felt Yang Lin's burning gaze, her pretty face flushed slightly, and she stomped her feet.
Yang Lin smiled slightly and said, "Xiaobai, what are you doing standing so far away, come here and talk!" ”
"I don't!"
White Birch gave him a blank look. Breathlessly.
Yang Lin looked at her as if he was a gray wolf who was about to attack the Pleasant Goat, and remembered the passion that Yang Lin forced in the office not long ago. The roots of her ears were red.
Yang Lin was about to say something when the phone on his desk rang suddenly.
Bai Hua suddenly opened his eyebrows and smiled: "Mr. Yang." You're busy first, I'll go out first! ”
Looking at the girl's curling back, Yang Lin picked up the phone and said angrily: "I'm Yang Lin, who is it?" ”
"Mr. Yang? It's me, Liang Xingguo! ”
Yang Lin was slightly stunned and said, "Old Liang? Can I help you? ”
Liang Xingguo was previously sent by Yang Lin to Feilong Airlines as a director and senior vice president, and he rarely contacted Yang Lin, but when he suddenly called, it was obviously a big deal.
Liang Xing's Chinese tone on the other end of the phone sounded a little excited. She said: "Mr. Yang, the prototype of the Pterodactyl II UAV has been rolled off the assembly line and will make its first flight on December 11, I hope you can attend the first flight ceremony at that time!" ”
"The Pterodactyl II prototype came out?" Yang Lin was slightly stunned, then laughed and said, "Okay, I know, I will definitely be there then!" ”
Liang Xingguo smiled: "Okay, then I won't bother Mr. Yang first." An official invitation will be sent to you in two days! See you then! ”
"Well, I'll be there on time!"
Hanging up the phone, Yang Lin's eyes narrowed slightly.
Pterodactyl II was able to come out so quickly, which Yang Lin did not expect.
As an unmanned combat aircraft that adopts artificial intelligence command and control system for the first time in human history. The significance of Pterodactyl II is extremely significant.
Since the aviation industry of mankind entered the jet age in the forties of the twentieth century, the development of combat aircraft of mankind has gone through four generations.
The early first generation (Russia divides the first generation of fighters into supersonic and non-supersonic generations, and here the old NATO division method is used) jet fighters from MiG-15, MiG-19 to American F86. All of them use the combat technology of machine guns biting each other's tails, and their combat characteristics are mainly low-altitude and low-speed.
Next is a second-generation fighter equipped with air-to-air missiles. In the later stage, the second-generation fighter mainly emphasized the ability to penetrate defense at high altitude and high speed, and the ability to intercept at high speed was the characteristic. Early models had MiG-21, F4, F5, and later MiG-27, Su-22, MiG-25, and so on.
Because the air-to-air missile radar system at that time and the ground-to-air missile were becoming more and more mature, the effect of high-altitude and high-speed penetration was reduced, and after many combat cases, it was found that most of the air duels would be carried out in the low altitude and high subsonic speed. As a result, the development of ready-to-use supersonic flight capabilities, the emergence of third-generation fighters with excellent subsonic maneuverability, and the maturity of air-to-air missiles have led to the birth of a new tactical test of over-the-horizon air combat.
Needless to say, the fourth-generation fighter is the 4S standard, that is, the so-called high maneuverability, advanced avionics system, highly integrated computer network, with excellent battlefield situational awareness, but the most revolutionary is the stealth ability applied to the fighter. Its most typical representatives are the American F22 and F35, the Russian T50 and the Chinese J-20.
But by the time of the fifth generation fighter, its division changed dramatically.
The U.S. Air Force proposed in the relevant notice that the "next-generation tactical aircraft system" must be able to compete with airborne electronic attack capabilities, advanced integrated air defense systems, passive detection equipment, integrated self-defense equipment, directed energy weapons and network electromagnetic attack capabilities.
But there are also many areas where there are controversies, first of all, there are different views on the issue of manned aircraft and UAVs.
Some experts believe that future air combat is a kind of rapidly changing air combat, because the flight speed is very fast, the battlefield environment and target location will also change rapidly, and manned aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles have their own advantages and disadvantages in this air combat environment.
Other experts believe that the speed of a manned fighter cannot be compared with that of a drone, given the limits of the pilot's physical condition. In addition, manned aircraft are much larger than UAVs in terms of appearance and size because of the presence of a pilot, so they are not as good as UAVs in stealth capabilities. Therefore, none. Unmanned should be the general direction of the next generation of fighters.
These two arguments have a large market in the aviation industry and the military of the world's major military powers, and it is precisely because Europe has recognized the development direction of the unmanned fifth-generation fighter that it resolutely gave up the development of the fourth-generation stealth fighter and directly started with the unmanned fighter with the fifth-generation technology.
The well-known "Neuron" drone is a typical representative of this.
Before the advent of Matrix Digital, the debate on whether the fifth-generation fighter is unmanned may continue for a long time, but with the breakthrough of Matrix Digital in artificial intelligence technology, especially the introduction of the matrix language, UAVs occupy an overwhelming advantage in the debate of fifth-generation fighters. The Pterodactyl II project appeared as a demonstrator project for the next generation of unmanned fighters. (To be continued.) )
