Chapter 542: Unmanned Automated Warfare
It turned out that their worries were unnecessary, a series of reports from the lion came, the plane take-off inspection was quickly completed, and then the drone engine started smoothly, and finally under the confirmation of Xu Ziling's take-off order, the plane began to taxi on the runway, and gradually accelerated, and took off in the dark night at an arrow-like speed.
Watching the plane take off in a very standard attitude, Yang Kaiming and Nie Yunjie were so surprised that they couldn't help but stand up from their seats, although Yang Haisheng was not as exaggerated as them, but there was also a look of surprise on his face, in their opinion, this intelligent system was too demonic.
What would happen if such a technique could spread to the entire military field?
Unmanned warplanes, unmanned submarines, unmanned warships, and even unmanned aircraft carriers, no matter in the future, whether in war or cruise missions, there will be no need for human existence?
Thinking of this situation, while they are looking forward to it, they feel a little cold, the military is unmanned, and if it really starts a war, at most it will lose some equipment, what country will be an opponent? At that time, if you were a little ambitious, it would be no problem to achieve only one country on the whole earth!
"Mission: Refueling in the air. The coordinate location is 8.1462112.5, and the verification password is uploaded. ”
"The task is accepted, the target location is determined, and the password is received to verify that the command is completed."
The drone flew into the sky, and Xu Ziling immediately issued an air refueling mission, and at the same time uploaded the refueling verification password sent by the South China Sea Fleet.
When the lion received the order, he immediately confirmed it, and then quickly adjusted its course, and at the same time displayed the target location on the navigation map on the large screen.
"Okay, after refueling, you go straight to Netan, by the way, is there any movement on the website?"
Xu Ziling is not surprised by the lion's ability at all, let alone a small drone, even if a spaceship is in front of him, he can make it fly. The flight regulations and orders were strictly enforced in front, which were all for Yang Haisheng and them to see, and now that the plane had flown smoothly into the sky, there was no need to be too pretended, so he let go and let the lion fly on his own, and asked about the mission issuer.
"The other party is very cautious, and it is possible to use another account to pay attention to the situation of the website, but now there are too many people who log in to the website to see the excitement, and these people behave similarly, and they can't find anything abnormal for a while, I hope that the other party will log in to the account that posted the task to confirm, so that I can catch him."
"Okay, then you stay tuned."
When he arrived here, there was nothing to do for the time being, so Xu Ziling turned around and said hello to Nie Yunjie.
Seeing that he had time to speak, Nie Yunjie and Yang Kaiming immediately called him over and sat down, "Let me ask you, can this unmanned control technique be used on warships, submarines, etc.?" Before Xu Ziling could sit down, Nie Yunjie hurriedly asked.
As soon as he asked this, even Yang Haisheng was very interested in knowing Lu Dao, so several people looked at Xu Ziling with burning eyes, waiting for his answer.
"The theory is feasible, in the past few months, I have been designing an unmanned large submarine, but it is difficult to achieve automation in hardware technology, and I am trying to find a way to solve it." Xu Ziling did not hide it from them, "The degree of automation of UAVs can be said to be very high, so relatively speaking, it is also the easiest to achieve autonomous control, and it should not be difficult for ships on the sea, but large submarines do not have much research in this area after all, so it is a bit difficult." ”
Unmanned automation is something he has been thinking about a lot recently, and he thinks that the things on the sea surface such as warships are not as fast as they are, so he chose to start with submarines, although he has always been taking time to get these, and now, the plan in his hand is about to mature.
The last time we went to the Jiangnan Factory together, Xu Ziling said this thing, he always remembered it, when he was at home, he also talked to Yang Haisheng about this matter, at this time, listening to Xu Ziling, the two fathers and sons were not surprised, but Nie Yunjie was different, he was the first time to know about this matter.
He didn't expect Xu Ziling to have such a plan, and at the same time shocked, he was a little puzzled, it should be said that the automation of warships should be easier than submarines.
Therefore, he followed Xu Ziling's words and asked: "Isn't it easier to warships?" Why should you choose a submarine for Lang? ”
Hearing his question, Yang Haisheng and the three of them all smiled slightly, and when Nie Yunjie saw their smiles, he immediately realized that his question was a little silly, and thought about it for a while, but he didn't feel that there was anything wrong, so he could only look at Xu Ziling in confusion, wanting to get an answer from him.
"Hehe......" Xu Ziling chuckled, Nie Yunjie is not a soldier, he can't figure out the reason why he chose this, there is nothing strange, a few of them laughed, there was no mockery, it was completely goodwill, "It is indeed much easier for a warship, but because he is on the sea, even if he is attacked or has an accident, the personnel have a certain chance of survival, but if you think about the submarine, if you encounter these situations......"
"Oh...... I got it. Before Xu Ziling finished speaking, Nie Yunjie interrupted him, saying that he understood, "It turned out to be a personnel safety issue." Why didn't I think about that? In this way, submarines are indeed more important than warships. ”
"Of course!" At this time, Yang Haisheng on the side affirmed his words, "Submarine accidents are not uncommon in the world, since the advent of submarines, there have been countless accidents, and in our country, it has happened many times, the most recent one was in 03 years, when the 361 submarine that was conducting silent training crashed, resulting in the death of all 70 officers and soldiers on board." ”
Speaking of this, Yang Haisheng's tone was a little low, "If a warship is wrecked, there is a certain chance of escape, but once the submarine is wrecked underwater, there is basically no possibility of escape, so the unmanned submarine is more important than the unmanned warship, and it is correct to choose the submarine first." ”
When it comes to previous accidents, the topic is a bit heavy, but several people are not ordinary people, and they quickly came out of this emotion, but it is precisely this that proves the meaning of Xu Ziling's choice to study large-scale unmanned submarines, so that Nie Yunjie understands the meaning.
"Arrive at the intended location...... Arrive at the predetermined location. As the men spoke, the voice of the lion rang out in the hall.
"So fast?"
A few people patronized and chatted, but they didn't pay attention to the drone until the lion reminded them, and they realized that almost half an hour had passed in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, looking at the big screen, they saw that the drone had really arrived over the South China Sea, and the shadow of the air tanker could already be seen in front of the real-time images transmitted by the drone.
"Okay, you hurry up and get your fill of fuel and get to Makula as fast as you can."
Xu Ziling commanded the lion.
"Roger!"
The lion controls the drone, in fact, it is more skilled than Xu Ziling, refueling in the air at night, this is the first time in the domestic air force, the drone has an eagle eye, the scanning image is automatically filled with light, there is no other difference between night and day except for the naked eye, plus the lion's incomparably accurate computing power, air refueling is just a trivial matter for him.
In the image, the drone quickly approached the tail of the tanker, and then slowed down, keeping the tanker moving forward at the same time, after fixing the speed, the drone stretched out the telescopic refueling pipe, controlling the drone to fine-tune, less than five seconds, once the UAV's refueling pipe and the refueling pipe of the refueling machine in the air were successfully docked.
Taking off from Star City and reaching the South China Sea, the distance is less than 1,000 kilometers, and compared to the UAV's range of more than 20,000 kilometers, the fuel consumption is not much, but it is more than 8,000 kilometers to Nitan, and it is necessary to replenish fuel here.
Ten minutes later, the drone was fully fueled, and the lion quickly controlled the plane to get out of the fuel pipe, retract the fuel receiving pipe, and then turned left to break away from the tail of the tanker, and quickly climbed up to the tanker, until it was at an altitude of 24,000 meters, and then determined the target coordinates again and turned on the automatic cruise mode.
"The target is Makula, with a speed of Mach 5 and an altitude of 24,000 kilometers, and is expected to arrive in 85 minutes!"
"Well, be careful to avoid ground-based radars."
Although the radar of the people of the United States could not find the "Shadow Dragon No. 1", it was better to be cautious, and from the South China Sea to Makula, all the way through the airspace of many Central Asian countries, Xu Ziling still told the lion.
"Understood!"
The lion also pretended to be in good shape, and immediately accepted the order.
The drone didn't need them to worry about it, and a few people immediately turned on the big screen on the other side of the hall, turned the "Eagle Eye Satellite" system scan screen to it, and began to pay attention to the movements of those mercenaries.
And Xu Ziling re-contacted Gu Hongyuan, "How are you preparing over there?" ”
"There is a flat Pingyang here, and there is no danger to defend, we can only try to narrow the defensive circle, fortunately there is nothing else here, there are many engineering equipment, dozens of excavators are started together, simple fortifications are also easy to make, there are Gao Ge on the sea They are watching, we just need to manage the land, and it is no problem to fight an ambush war."
Fighting head-on, Gu Hongyuan and the others were really not afraid of those mercenaries, and they had detailed intelligence support, so that he didn't have any pressure in the face of the upcoming firefight, and there was no trace of tension in his words.
"Don't force it, the fighter will arrive within 80 minutes, there is a small group of personnel, even if you fight, if there are more personnel, I will support you, don't take risks, there is only one small life, there are fighters, and they are high, you don't need to use your life to keep them, this is not cost-effective, it is a big deal that we use a few more missiles."
Xu Ziling has seen Gu Hongyuan's information, and he is also familiar with the scenes of overseas operations, he is a little worried that these guys will kill the red eyes, and when the time comes, he will chase the mercenaries fiercely, but put himself in danger, such a situation is not what he wants to see, in his opinion, in the case of absolute superiority, personnel is the most important, missiles can be reproduced when they run out, if people are gone, then it is really gone, so he told Gu Hongyuan.
