Black tech predators

Chapter 297 [This is the future city life]

It is worth mentioning that a series of preparatory arrangements have been made for the unmanned logistics and Changfeng District pilot project since last year.

At this moment, the media and industry insiders at the press conference are all focused on the big screen. The location in the video is in the Changfeng District, and the honeycomb headquarters of Tianqing Technology Group can also be clearly seen in the high-altitude aerial photography. It can be said to be unique in the entire Changfeng District, and now it is an undisputed landmark building here.

The staff outside the venue were already ready. As soon as the scheduled time came, the reporters on the scene and the netizens who watched the live broadcast of the press conference saw more than 200 DJI drones dispatched from the delivery location. The scene is magnificent.

After these drones were lifted into the air, all the spectators were amazed to see that they were launched in an orderly manner along an invisible channel, and after rising to an altitude of 80 meters, they began to fly horizontally. raised.

Because of the guidance of radar signals, a complex traffic network invisible to the naked eye is formed at an altitude of 80 meters. All drones will follow the established route and will never exceed half a step.

Each drone maintains a uniform relative distance and flight speed.

At the press conference, an industry insider was shocked watching the live video: "To ensure that each machine performs its own duties, how powerful is this distribution system?"

It seems to be similar to the sorting system in the logistics workshop, but experienced industry insiders are very clear about the gap between the two.

The complexity of the outdoors is not comparable to that in the workshop, and the area is also incredibly large, which makes it even more complicated. This requires a perfect central processing to realize that the entire distribution system can adjust all sudden variables in time.

The person in the industry couldn't help sighing: "Probably only the omnipotent Tianqing Technology can do it."

At the same time, another location, which is the location where the drone is flying at the moment, has placed more than 200 packages, including express packages and takeaway packages.

In fact, express packages and takeaway packages are like containers in the port. The size, quality and volume are all of the same standard. The express delivery or takeaway packages are put in the package and sent to the distribution point.

A few minutes later, more than 200 drones arrived, and people were amazed by the following pictures. Since all the drones arrived almost at the same time, most of them hovered in the established airspace, as if they were vehicles Like waiting for a traffic light.

The UAV in the front row began to land according to the prescribed guidance path, and there was a camera and a hook under the gimbal of the UAV.

A drone descended steadily over a small parcel box at the distribution point. Through image recognition, altimeter and tension sensing, people witnessed the drone's first attempt to hang it on a hook.

It failed the first time.

At the second time, the docking of the drone's hook was completed, the controller confirmed and locked, and the drone began to lift off, carrying the parcel box into the delivery route.

Back and forth, even if you fail once, the time spent is controlled within 10 seconds.

Then came the second, third, and so on...

As for the first drone, the package box it took away contained a pizza takeaway. At the same time as it took off, the image recognition on the drone scanned the identification code on the package box, corresponding to Time-sensitive coding.

The drone feeds the scanned identification information back to the central computer, and the background program immediately completes the decoding and feeds the information back to the drone from the distribution system. The delivery route of the cargo address is the current shortest route given by the computer through calculation results. The drone will fly and deliver according to the navigation route after receiving the feedback signal.

At the same time, other drones also entered the delivery route with their own packages. Then people saw that the more than 200 drones were no longer flying in dense arrays as before, and some of them had the same route during a certain voyage. , after a certain distance, the drone will change its course.

More than 200 drones were quickly scattered in various locations in Changfeng District.

At this moment, many people on the ground in Changfeng District are also shooting at the sky. As a pilot of unmanned logistics, people in Changfeng District have known about this for a long time.

It is undeniable that this matter has been strongly opposed by a large number of local citizens in Changfeng District, because people are afraid of the danger of high-altitude parabolic objects. The consequences could be disastrous.

Although the operator has passed technical means and big data analysis, it has been clarified that this kind of situation will basically not happen, it is an extremely low probability event, and the probability of occurrence is only 1% of the probability of a car accident in Changfeng District.

But the citizens still don't accept it, because they feel too insecure psychologically. There are parcel boxes weighing several kilograms flying above their heads.

In the end, this contradiction was resolved after all.

It is not mandatory to disregard the opposition of the local people, but to squeeze out a safety zone with the width of the emergency lane between the road and the sidewalk. The drone’s flight path will fly over this safety zone. If the hanging parcel box falls off the hook Yes, it was also smashed into the safe zone, and no one is allowed to step into the safe zone.

Now the pilot project in Changfeng District has carried out corresponding ground safety area reconstruction based on the UAV channel network. The main reconstruction task is to add railings to distinguish lanes, safety areas, and sidewalks.

Each went its own way, so that the problem of falling objects that the public worried about was solved.

As for drones passing over the forks or crossroads, there is really no way out. It is impossible to build another high-altitude safety corridor. The cost is unacceptable, and this is a small probability in a small probability event, but in the design of the airway network. At the same time, avoid zebra crossings and campuses as much as possible.

The citizens of Changfeng District are also very understanding. After all, in terms of probability, the danger of takeaway riders walking on the ground is even greater.

……

It is said that the drone that delivered the pizza has already flown 1.3 kilometers, near a community in Changfeng District, there are also media reporters and relevant staff at this moment, this is a community reception station set up.

There is a large and eye-catching "H" on the clearing, marking the landing area.

"It should be here soon. The real-time delivery information above shows that the estimated arrival time is within 30 seconds." A staff member looked at the screen of the mobile phone, and a staff member next to him was taking pictures, pushing the picture to the big screen at the conference site and viewers watching the live broadcast.

Sure enough, not long after the voice fell, a drone visible to the naked eye appeared in the sky. Under everyone's gaze, the drone was airborne in the designated landing area of ​​the big "H".

It is worth mentioning that if the live image recognition system on the UAV scans someone in the designated landing area of ​​the big "H", it will hover in the air. At this time, the system determines that it cannot land, and has to wait for people to leave the landing area , it will land safely, including some animals and the like.

At this moment, the drone landed slowly, and everyone witnessed the stable landing of the hanging parcel box. The hook on the drone sensed the change of the pulling force data and the height comparison with the designated landing area. This is to determine whether the parcel box has been in contact with the ground.

At this time, the hook fell off, and the UAV was still running in the air. After it was successfully decoupled, it did not stay for a moment, and immediately lifted into the air and extended away.

A staff member immediately came to the landing area to pick up the package box that no one had delivered. After opening it, everyone shared the fresh pizza delivery in joy.

One of the staff members holding a piece of pizza smiled and said to the live broadcast camera: "I am now playing the staff of the receiving station. This job can also be performed by the property management staff of the community, and I will send takeaway or express delivery Door-to-door delivery, of course, according to the boss, this is not the optimal solution, in the foreseeable future, robots will replace me and complete door-to-door delivery.”

"This is the charm of technology!!"

At the same time, at the press conference, Gu Cheng stood on the stage and watched the live broadcast without saying a word. At this time, the audience suddenly ushered in a burst of warm applause and cheers.

But it was too late for everyone to be amazed, because the screen switched to a drone again, showing its first perspective, and there was another drone in front of it.

At this time, Gu Cheng said with a smile: "They are off work too!"

Everyone laughed, but their eyes did not leave the live broadcast screen. At this moment, the drone was flying towards a building with a strange appearance. Like a huge beehive.

The drone kept approaching the building, and finally passed through one of the passages under the witness of everyone.

With the live footage on the drone, everyone was able to see the interior. This is a picture full of technology. The drone landed smoothly on a landing platform with the engine turned off.

The next picture also amazed all the witnesses.

This drone seemed to have entered an assembly line, and was automatically transferred to a track after landing. Along the way, it began to undergo a full range of physical examinations, including testing the body structure, and judging whether the drone needed to be tested according to the data feedback system. Structural life extension, or maintenance, or complete scrapping.

This is an unmanned workshop, everything is controlled by the central computer, the major mechanical modules are distributed and executed, and only a few scattered people monitor the overall situation in the control room.

Fortunately, after the drone completed the medical examination, the data showed that it was very "healthy", and then it was automatically replaced with a superconducting battery with full energy storage on the "assembly line", and the replaced one was taken to other places. The distribution area is naturally recharged and then put into storage.

And this drone continued to carry out the delivery mission, flew out of the building through the honeycomb passage on the other side, and entered the delivery sequence again.

About 8 minutes of live demonstration, by focusing on a drone, let people know how it does the delivery work, and return to the whole process of hive inspection, warehousing, and re-attendance.

With the end of the live broadcast, the screen on the big screen turned into Gu Cheng on the stage. He smiled calmly and said: "Smart logistics, smart city, this is the solution launched by Tianqing Technology, this is the future urban life!"
