ACT337: Human-machine matching

After the air combat exercise in the morning, Zhao Jian took Hongling from the Feiyue to the Qinghai. The two went to the hangar accompanied by Qinghai, and at this time, the technicians of the maintenance team were inspecting and maintaining the fighters that had been dispatched in the morning, and some of the pilots got together to exchange flight experience with each other, and some ran to watch the automatic AI that they had beaten to the ground in the simulated battle.

At the beginning of the design of the griffin fighter, it did not consider using unmanned pilots, but not long after the maintenance station was officially put into production, the Zhao ship, which had a strict surplus capacity, encountered the embarrassing situation of "more planes than pilots". He started with 42 pilots, and as a result, a full 500 were built in the first batch.

In this regard, many pilots joked that they can fly one a day for two weeks!

So in the case of such a surplus of aircraft, Zhao Jian hurried to train new pilots from among the young people of the ship's group, and at the same time asked Thor to develop an automatic AI device.

It is worth mentioning that the hardware device of the automatic AI is not large, only the size of a volleyball. Just put the ball in the cockpit and it will be able to control the plane instead of the doppelganger. In order to increase the confusion, Zhao Jian added a mannequin shell to this device, and the integrated cockpit cover of the griffin fighter was made of brown glass, so it was difficult for the enemy to find out that there was no one in it during the battle.

When Zhao Jian came over, he happened to see those Maozi pilots doing things to the shell of the AI. Apparently! These undisciplined guys used their ingenuity in strange places, and they used hair covers, bras~ masks, and hard steamed buns in the kitchen overnight to transform the original male model into a "girl".

When Zhao Jian saw this scene, his expression suddenly changed to an embarrassed look, and then he asked the captain of the Siberian squadron (Maozi pilot) who was laughing at his subordinates' spoofs.

"Dimitri, what are they doing?"

"Those boys said it was more exciting to shoot like this...... Boss, when did you get here!? ”

Seeing Zhao Jian appear here, Dimitri, who was smoking, was suddenly startled, and subconsciously put the cigarette butt that was still burning into his arms. And then there was a roar.

"Ahhh......h

Dimitri was a former member of Zhao Jian. One of the most skilled Soviet pilots, he flew an I-16 that shot down 17 Nationalist fighters during the Spanish Civil War, while he himself was unscathed. Originally, when Dragovich was evacuated, he also wanted to use the opportunity to return to China to win over the other party, but Dimitri was not ashamed of his character, so he categorically refused the other party's invitation.

After switching to Zhao's side, Dimitri was appointed by Zhao Jian as the captain of the Slavic squadron composed of Maozi pilots because of his best flying skills, and he is also the current number one ace of the air force.

After jumping up and down, Dimitri finally shook the cigarette butt out of his arms. According to safety regulations. Smoking is not allowed in the hangar, but Dimitri is an old smoking gun, and he can't stand Maozi's spirit of death deep in his bones, so he let Zhao Jian catch him well.

Stepping on the cigarette butt on the ground, Zhao Jian reached out and pointed at the embarrassed Dimitri.

"Next time, you'll just wait to wipe the entire hangar!"

Without giving Dimitri any substantive punishment, Zhao Jian temporarily let the other party go, and then under the leadership of Qinghai, Zhao Jian came to the drone that participated in the simulated confrontation in the morning.

In order to find out the real level of air combat of the automatic AI. They arranged a total of six mock battles between Dimitri's elite squad and four unmanned griffins, but the actual situation was not ideal. In addition to winning the first two games, the four drones were quickly figured out because of the routine. Let Dimitri and others play four games in a row. The four unmanned griffins involved in the confrontation were covered in traces of paintballs on their fuselages.

"It's miserable! If this is a real battle, it is simply a scene of torture! ”

Looking at the miserable four unmanned griffins, Zhao Jian felt that he had indeed expected too much from the automatic AI at first. The AI's ability to maneuver the aircraft is impeccable. No matter how complex the environment is, as long as it is not completely impossible, it can be smooth.

But in a simulated battle against humans. In the face of cunning and changeable human pilots, the AI can easily be deceived by the opponent's feints.

"Qinghai, what do you think of this arrangement? I will send a group of pilots to your side, three air wings, the first wing is responsible for air defense escort, all fighters are piloted by humans, the second and third wings are responsible for attacking ships in a mixed formation, and every five planes are assigned a pilot to serve as the commander of the team. If this is arranged, the man-machine combination should be able to play a certain complementary role. ”

"Indeed! But in that case, I'd need 63 pilots. Those training soldiers in the base have only received three months of basic training, and now they are transferred to the active army, I'm afraid it won't work, right? ”

Unlike ordinary army infantrymen who can pick up their guns and go into battle after only a few months or even weeks of training, pilots are high-tech arms, and under normal circumstances, a qualified pilot needs to undergo about two years of training before he can enter combat service. Because training is not easy, pilots start out as officers.

Zhao Jian also thought at first, just like the original system instilled in himself the "basic education of ancient people", and directly stuffed the experience of excellent pilots into the minds of those training soldiers. However, the human brain is not as durable as the ancients, and if knowledge is forcibly instilled, there is a more than ninety percent chance that the subject will directly "explode the brain", and various mental problems will occur if successful, so training can only be carried out in a normal way.

Fortunately, Zhao Jian's side has enough planes, and there are also flight simulators, so the flight time of the young men from the boat group has increased a lot. Many people haven't even learned the basics yet, and the plane will start first!

"There's no rush on the training side, and there's no need for you to send all the planes at once. I'll send you half of the pilots first, and then you can arrange it when there's a sortie. ”

After dealing with these things for the time being, Zhao Jian stayed here in Qinghai for another afternoon. The afternoon training course was mainly an air defense drill for the escort fleet, and the target model Griffin, with a simplified fuselage, was responsible for playing the role of enemy aircraft.

When it was time to rest in the "evening", the shipwives of each ship came over.

For many ship girls, the gap between the exercise and the outing is actually not big!

Especially the destroyers, when Zhao Jian announced that he was going out to conduct a group exercise, these energetic little guys all cheered, and a few of them were so excited that they didn't sleep all night. And the big sisters who usually stay in the pit stop also think it's good to go out for activities occasionally!

"Admiral, Admiral! What do we eat for dinner? Yesterday's bibimbap was delicious! ”

The first to transfer over were Xiao Lu on the Feiyue and those Sichuan sisters who did not have a hull for the time being, and the first thing Xiao Lu asked when he came over was what to eat for dinner? Immediately afterwards, King Kong, Ghost Ji, and De Flinger of the battle patrol formation, and Jia Na, Ali and others of the patrol formation also ran to the Qinghai side by airship.

As soon as Zhao Jian saw this posture, he knew that "the meal is unavoidable"! (To be continued......)

PS: I think I should write a little "welfare" chapter after a long absence, so that my thinking can become more active!
