Chapter 543 - Pandora's Box
"Report to HQ, we've got rid of it, damn it, we've lost two groups of brothers, we're going to make sure we've torn that guy apart."
Four Cheyenne helicopters circled over the debris of enemy planes still burning on the ground, still somewhat unwilling to fire back and forth with the six-barrel Gatling gun in the nose of the aircraft, trying to eliminate the pilots who might still be alive until the ammunition was empty.
Just ten seconds ago, four air-to-air missiles hit the fleeing rotorcraft almost simultaneously, setting off a large firework in the sky.
This damn guy has finally been shot down.
"Roger! Leaving two planes to continue the search for any live ports, the other groups will return, and someone will come to block the scene half an hour later. ”
"Yes! 2nd and 3rd stay, 5th and follow me back to Section 543 - Pandora's Box! Damn, what a bad day. ”
Two Cheyenne helicopters remained over the site and continued to spin, while the other two turned around and flew towards the Skunk factory in Palmdale.
Two minutes ago, after setting the automatic flight parameters and abducting four "Cheyenne" of Lockheed, taking advantage of the release of infrared jamming bombs to affect the opponent's night vision equipment, Bai Lang quietly broke away from the fuselage like the "Yellow Sparrow" and approached Las Vegas.
Like the "Yellow Sparrow", he wears action clothing that can evade infrared detectors, and the "Flying Wolf" was designed to sneak in, and the escape equipment is completely different from the conventional search and rescue equipment-
In Area 51, the hangar where four F/A-XX fighter jets are parked is still brightly lit, and the brightness generated by dozens of miner's lamps on the top of the hangar makes the hangar almost indistinguishable from daytime.
Steaming coffee and snacks on the table provide constant energy for their work, and a few oil trays emit a huge amount of heat and, of course, the strong smell of kerosene.
Area 51 is located in a desolate area with a large temperature difference between morning and evening, and a T-shirt or shirt may be enough during the day, but a trench coat to maintain body temperature at night.
"Adam's" Section 543 - The head of Pandora's Box and several key senior engineers are around a desk that can seat ten people, constantly tapping on the keyboard of the notebook.
The time had pointed to twelve, but they still didn't feel sleepy.
Even now, they are still refining the source code of the "Adam" system.
Four mechanical groups are intensively inspecting and debugging in anticipation of test flight activities after dawn.
"Adam" is not a civilian operating system platform, not a game, but an intelligent combat system with a high degree of autonomy and learning ability, perhaps the beginning of human real intelligent technology.
In short, it must be a tool that anyone who sets a precedent and strives to thrive for it will dominate the dividing tool in the big cake of the future.
Success, not failure.
This is a death order from the top chairman of Boeing, if there is a point of errand, it is light to kick home and eat old rice, maybe you have to wash your ass and sit through the bottom of the prison.
Aside from the mechanics surrounding four F/A-XX carefully reading the parameters of the onboard "Adam" system and whispering quietly, the most sound in the hangar was the incessant crisp tapping of keyboards.
The soldiers stationed in and around the hangar, but their eyes did not blink, and they remained silent and vigilant.
The appearance of "Adam" is a coincidence, just a gamble with chaos collision theory, but fortunately, their project team spent a long time and cost, and after bearing huge pressure, they finally succeeded, and an intelligent core with a learning mechanism appeared, and all their efforts were finally rewarded.
"Professor Jeffrey, do you really want to let go of nth or higher clearances? That's not good. ”
A senior engineer wrapped the source code module he had made, and when he was about to take the last step, he stopped his hand with a hesitant look on his face.
All along, even in internal testing, they were only open to the G level.
The "Adam" intelligent unmanned combat system is subject to a security authorization program called "Pandora's Box", and the operation authorization level is divided into 26 levels.
From A to Z, the A level is the lowest, which means that all modules are blocked, and only the core can operate, while the Z level is the highest, which can run all the functional modules.
"That's right, 'Adam' can show enough intelligence and application capabilities, it's enough for a flight demonstration, it's just a day to unravel anyway, we can control it, and it's worth taking a little risk."
Jeffrey. Professor Hatch reviewed the source code of the program and made sure it was correct, then locked the code and the software engineers used the computing resources of their laptops to pack it.
The key to the core of intelligence is learning and control, and the spontaneous learning mechanism is derived from the principle of chaotic collisions, but how to control is what Boeing has been doing all along.
It's like teaching a newborn toddler what to do and what not to do, so that he learns the rules and doesn't let him grow up wantonly with terrible consequences.
Without these rules, "Adam" would have grown into the most terrifying program in human history, with unprecedented aggressiveness, not just based on software, but also based on hardware, extending the aggressiveness to reality.
No one knows to what extent the evolutionary mechanism of "Adam" is born with and becomes more and more complex.
Boeing's long-standing job has been to domesticate an unknown creature, giving it controllable minions and attack power to target the goals they set and achieve the effects they need.
Although so far, "Adam" has never shown a bit of evil and ferocity, and is also very obedient, but no one dares to take it lightly, too many movies and public worries, so that all the staff of the project team have never relaxed their vigilance, so the "Pandora's Box" program specially divided into 26 levels of security clearance is used to ensure that all this must be controlled in the hands of Boeing, or in the hands of humans.
"Alright, Professor Jeffrey!"
The engineer pressed enter, and a progress bar appeared on the screen.
"Hmmm! Well done, Logan! Let's work harder, strive to get everything done before dawn, as long as the test flight is completed, I will give you a week's big vacation, paid vacation!"
Jeffrey. Professor Hatch was about to loosen some of the reins of the armed beast, and his words made all the software engineers cheer quietly, and they bumped their fists against each other, working overtime day and night, finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
The level 26 clearance of the "Pandora's Box" security mechanism is definitely the best reins in his hands.
In ancient Greek, "Pan" means "all", and "Dora" means "gift", a gift from the gods to mankind.
The meaning of "Pandora's Box" is the same as in myths and legends, it is used to contain and seal, and it is specially used to keep "Adam" properly.
Tomorrow will give everyone a stunning performance, and if you are lucky, you can even finalize the order for the next generation fighter in advance, then the project leader will be able to stand out from the many project teams and be promoted to a real department manager.
The department manager in charge of a fighter jet is simply promising, Jeffrey. Hatch couldn't help but wander for a few seconds.
"Mine is already healed! Jeffrey!"
Another engineer let out a long sigh of relief, stopped his tapping, and headed towards Jeffrey. Hatch waved his hand.
"Well done, Jack, we're a step faster, you can have a little more time to catch up on sleep, you're really the most attentive guy in our project team, great job, wait a minute, you'll be in charge of all the integrations and upgrades on these four planes."
Jeffrey. Hatch quickly swept through the lines of source code, tried it out, debugged it correctly, and made sure that the progress was faster than he expected.
As he was about to transfer the source code back for shelling, he felt some thirst and sleepiness and reached for his coffee cup.
Jeffrey. Hutchifei didn't notice that his hand reaching for the coffee cup inadvertently touched the keyboard, and there was an extra symbol in the middle of the dense source code on the screen.
"No problem! Boss!"
Software Engineer Jack. Wells opened his carry-on bag, and there were two identical large-capacity blank USB drives on the fixed sleeve in the bag, and he hesitated for a moment to choose the one on the right.
A mechanic from the nearby mechanic group seems to have intentionally or unintentionally thrown a meaningful look at Jack, the software engineer, who had given him the same USB drive he had given him four hours earlier. Wells.
This little thing, which is exactly the same as Boeing's in-house encrypted USB drive, was quietly delivered to Area 51 thirteen hours ago.
The manufacturer is not any USB drive manufacturer in the world, but from an old rival of Boeing, and this is not the first time that this old rival has done so.
Software Engineer Jack. Wells seemed to have made a decision, plugged the USB drive directly into his laptop, and began to assemble the various functional modules and download the intelligent core program of "Adam".
Ten minutes before dawn, the Boeing "Adam" project team finally completed the work at hand, and all functional modules, including the "Adam" intelligent core, were integrated into the Jack. Wells is on a special USB drive for Boeing's internal company.
The function of this USB drive is not only data storage and encryption, but also a small program is hidden.
No one noticed that after the program was officially fully imported, an inexplicable piece of code was automatically loaded into the intelligent core and all functional modules of "Adam".
Apparently some people are reluctant to go too smoothly with Boeing's flight demonstration.
Until the introduction of four F/A-XX to complete the system upgrade, no one noticed that there was any abnormality in the "Adam" intelligent unmanned combat system that had been added.
"Sure enough, it's N-level clearance, 'Adam' baby, it's really much smarter than before."
Jeffrey. Professor Hatch was very pleased with this.
ps: This is a science fiction book, science fiction, China's advanced science and technology have been written, and they have begun to write foreign advanced technology, and they always say that Chinese technology exceeds foreign countries too much!!
