The technological competition starts with the integration of space-time memory

Chapter 103 How does it fly into the sea?
Ye Nantian's eyes lit up and he turned to look at Li Tang.

"President Li, your self-defense weapon is not an ordinary aircraft cannon, right? It can be fired from an altitude of 10,000 meters and hit a reef that is less than one meter above the sea.

And the power is too great. How many shells did the Predator just fire?"

Li Tang nodded slightly and replied calmly: "What era is it now? How can I equip the [Predator] with ordinary aircraft cannons?
This is an 18mm electromagnetic machine gun with an effective range of 60 kilometers, and can track and lock 60 threatening targets at the same time.

The rate of fire is 12000 rounds per minute, and the reserve capacity is 5000 rounds.

The shells are specially made armor-piercing high-explosive shells, and the effective killing radius of a single shot is within 8 meters.

It should have been a three-round burst, but because the shells reached a supersonic speed of Mach 8, they produced a bright "Wind and Cloud" light.

When Zero slows down the playback speed, what everyone sees is a stream of light falling from a height of 10,000 meters.”

Ye Nantian stood up again and wanted to say something to Li Tang, but he didn't say anything for a long time. He turned around and walked back and forth in the aisle for a few times.

He seemed to have finally calmed down a little bit, and then he asked in a deep voice: "So, the power-consuming gun you just mentioned should be the largest one, right?"

Li Tang shook his head and said, "No, the one that consumes the most power is the new active digital array phased array radar."

"New radar? How does it compare to the one used by the Wyvern?" Ye Nantian just asked when he thought that Li Tang might not know.

He quickly asked, "Do you know the performance of the radar used by Weilong?"

Li Tang calmly replied: "Of course I know the Weilong radar. This new radar has improved performance compared to that one."

When Ye Nantian heard about the improvement, he immediately asked, "How much? For example, what is the maximum search distance?"

"The maximum search and detection range has increased by about 49% to 550 kilometers."

"550 kilometers?! That's too far! It's beyond the range of our early warning aircraft!"

Ye Nantian couldn't sit still anymore. How could this be a drone? It was clearly an electronic warfare, reconnaissance, early warning and combat aircraft in one!
No wonder Dean Li asked himself why he didn’t buy better products if he had money.

If the performance indicators of the Predator are real and reliable, and the product price is really not expensive, why spend money to improve those four and a half generations?
It would be better to think about selling those old fighter planes and use the money to equip new models as soon as possible.

Suddenly, Ye Nantian thought of a question and asked quickly: "All of your [Predators] are drones. If they are fully equipped, won't all my pilots become drone pilots?"

"The Predator drone doesn't need a pilot. It can fly and fight completely autonomously."

"What? It can fly and fight autonomously? Artificial intelligence?"

Although Ye Nantian vaguely knew that Li Tang had research results in artificial intelligence, in his impression, they were no more than those large-model AIs.

Nowadays, large-scale AI models are being hyped up in the commercial sector, but there are still many limitations when applied in real scenarios.

At present, they are still limited to text, image and other processing, and it is still extremely difficult to apply them in a comprehensive manner.

At the same time, there is another biggest problem, which is that the computing power requirements are too high. If you want to train a reliable large-scale AI model, the computing power investment requires a huge amount of money.

The funding issue is easy to solve, the key is that the computing power chips are in the hands of others.

The world's top computing power giants have already become aware of this and are passing relevant bills, preparing to take certain measures on the export of high-end computing chips.

The key is that they have also allocated special funds to start researching the combination of artificial intelligence and robots, and I think the combination with drones is also included.

Now it seems that we are ahead!
Li Tang affirmed: "Yes, this should be a weak artificial intelligence, dedicated to military aircraft.

If you want to make it more powerful, you can conduct simulated air combat training with manned fighter aircraft.

When various combat data become more abundant, its combat experience and flying experience will be improved exponentially.

Therefore, human fighter pilots will not retire yet!"

"I won't retire, but I'll just become a sparring partner."

Ye Nantian was severely shocked by Li Tang today. He felt a little numb at this moment. After complaining silently in his heart, he sat back in his seat somewhat weakly.

His mind was still thinking and digesting what Li Tang had said.

At this moment, the mechanical sound of Predator No. 1 rang out.

Ye Nantian perked up after hearing this and said, "I'm afraid this is someone from nearby who came to check out the situation.

Dean Li, there won't be any problem with this explosion mark, right? "

Li Tang frowned. He didn't expect that someone could appear in such an uninhabited area.

In fact, even if the traces of the explosion were discovered by someone, it would not matter. Who would have thought that this was a warplane flying here for target shooting tests?

What's more, this is international waters.

Even if we take a step back, in relevant international treaties, this was also the economic waters of the Ryukyu Kingdom, which was once under the trusteeship of the Ryukyu Kingdom.

In order to make the little bookmen obey, the ball tyrant gave them a piece of meat bone and handed over the administrative jurisdiction here to them. As a result, the little bookmen shamelessly claimed that this was their territory and used it as a springboard to cause trouble at sea.

However, because Li Tang hated the puppets who spoke the Eastern Japanese language in his memory of time and space, he was even more disgusted with Ben Ben who refused to repent in reality.

Thinking of this, Li Tang looked at Ye Nantian and asked, "There will definitely be no problem with the traces of the explosion. At most, it will make people suspicious.

However, I do have a plan, but I'm afraid you're cautious about taking the initiative, so if you don't dare to use it, I'd better keep it to myself."

Ye Nantian understood the implication of Li Tang's words. He was a staunch opponent of a certain obscure word.

Ye Nantian has always believed that truth is within the range of cannons, and dignity is only on the edge of the sword!
Air power is inherently offensive, and as a pilot himself, he hates being constrained by certain theories.

He looked at Li Tang meaningfully, "Don't provoke me.

As long as your method works and doesn't involve us, I dare to do it.

Tell me, what are you going to do?"

Li Tang smiled and said, "It's simple. Just implement directional electromagnetic interference."

In fact, the directional electromagnetic interference mentioned by Li Tang is an application designed by Zero based on the information obtained through the listening function.

This type of equipment can easily be used by Zero's eavesdropping function to obtain related electronic equipment defects and radio communication equipment vulnerabilities.

There is no way. No matter how confidential the equipment is, if it is used for a long time and by many people, it will still leak a lot of information.

This helicopter fully meets this characteristic. It has been produced for decades and even the Rabbit Hole has it. It can be said to be spread all over the world.

Li Tang took advantage of the defects and loopholes he had discovered and specially designed a directional electromagnetic interference device so that his side could gain an advantage when encountering such equipment.

But when Ye Nantian heard this, he felt a sense of awe. This Professor Li is also an electronic warfare expert.

"Dean Li, can this directional electromagnetic interference be discovered?"

Li Tang shook his head, "Of course not, this kind of electromagnetic interference is invisible radio waves, which work in silence.

However, I cannot guarantee what consequences this malfunction will lead to.

If they happen to have been upgraded and have enhanced their ability to withstand electromagnetic interference, then perhaps this interference will be ineffective."

Ye Nantian glanced at everyone in the hall and said, "I am issuing a gag order now!"

The researcher on duty was startled and quickly responded, "Understood!"

Li Tang nodded and said, "Don't worry, Director Ye. All the researchers here have received confidentiality training and signed confidentiality agreements. They know what to say and what not to say."

Ye Nantian stared at Li Tang and said, "Give the [Predator] instructions to implement directional electromagnetic interference!"

"Yes, Commander Ye. Predator One, please carry out the 117th item of the first flight test and implement the directional electromagnetic interference test mission."

Ye Nantian's pupils suddenly widened. How could this be said?

But why do I like it so much?

If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have been so nervous. It's just the first flight test, so isn't it normal to have some mistakes?

Isn’t that place the international sea and air space?
When the researchers on duty heard the test instructions, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief and the atmosphere was no longer so solemn.

Yeah, it was just a first flight test program, who knew there were helicopters flying there.

The accident was caused by a malfunction of the helicopter itself and had nothing to do with us.

A mechanical voice sounded: "Yes, Dean, the 117th directional electromagnetic interference test mission of the first flight has begun, and it is expected to last five minutes!"

"Zero, have StarNet One transmit the image of the airspace where the helicopter is located!"

"Yes, Dean, the image is being transmitted and will be displayed in 0.6 seconds!"

As soon as Zero finished speaking, the image on the left side of the big screen was updated.

Ye Nantian couldn't help but ask, "Strange?"

"This is too fast. I don't think we'll have enough time to send out a distress signal."

……

On the screen, the entire action was completed cleanly and neatly, without even a big splash.

According to the rules of diving competitions, he should be able to score ten points.
