Spore Story

Chapter 882

==========
Liu Yuan sat on the bridge of his support ship, with the keyboard in his hand, brain-controlled cursor, and staring at the starry sky, quite leisurely.

As the verification ship of the Pengzu space carrier, the Harbor-class support ship converted from the comprehensive supply ship, could have retreated to the second line after the official first-generation space carrier Gashan class of the Pengzu was completed.However, after comprehensive consideration, the Military Academy felt that the current Dongshan could continue to exist as a training ship and a special service ship, so Liuyuan transferred to the regular army with satisfaction and became an honorable support ship captain of the Friends Space Fleet.

At this time, the Dongshan was traveling with the only official mothership of the Pengzu Space Fleet, the Gashan, and the destination was not explained.

"But speaking of it, I'm really envious. I flew in once before, and it's much more spacious than our Dongshan." Having nothing to do, the captain of a certain space fighter who was wandering on the bridge sat on the bridge, looking very bored .But when he saw the Gashan outside the porthole by chance, his expression was still full of envy and admiration.

"Since I envy you, why don't you go? I heard that the headquarters asked you to serve as the aviation commander of the Gashan ship? That's the rank of colonel, so willing."

"But then you won't be able to directly participate in the battle."

"So you can only be a ten-thousand-year soldier, and the position of sergeant major is really suitable."

"It's a pity that there is no space force yet." Chi Yutian said indifferently, then lay back on the chair and looked up at the starry sky.

"So you, kid, are subservient to this ship and become the captain and aviation commander of this ship?"

"Yes, but you don't have to be so grateful to me, I won't be able to bear it, it all comes from our great friendship!"

"Go aside."

Just at this time, Chi Yu's younger sister pushed the door open and entered, but she couldn't die seeing her brother entangled with her boyfriend, she rolled her eyes, she suddenly opened her eyes wide and yelled loudly.

"Brother! Liuyuan is mine, you can't just say it!"

"..."

"..."

The entire bridge fell into a brief silence, and then uncontrollable laughter broke out.Chi Yu mercilessly knocked on the half-corrupted sister's head with a knife in his hand, with a depressed expression on his face: "What are you thinking, inside this head!"

"But there are many similar situations in those books! We have to guard against it."

"..."

"Okay, what's the matter? Xiaoyu."

In the choice between friends and sister, Liu Yuan mercilessly stood by her side and decisively helped her out.

"Ah, it's actually not too troublesome. The main reason is that the dozens of drones that were recently installed on the support ship had some problems during debugging. Although I went to tutoring for a while, minor illnesses and the like It can be dealt with, but this time the problem is a bit strange, so I can only ask the ground design bureau, and the bridge and the confidential communication room are the only ones that can connect to the ground communication, you won’t let us find those facial paralysis explanations?”

"Oh, of course! Of course not! That correspondent, please help me, Xiaoyu, go over quickly, the sooner the problem is solved, the better."

"Ah."

—————No moral division line————

There are two similar things between friends and humans: artificial brains and computers.

They all have the same purpose at the beginning of production, that is, to have a machine to perform those boring calculations instead of racial individuals.However, in the subsequent development, the designs of both friends have produced essential differences.

Because human computers are in pure binary mode, mechanical and boring calculations can be easily completed, and with the advancement of technology, the calculation speed has gradually surpassed that of humans, and it is becoming more and more powerful.However, due to completely mechanized calculations, it is difficult for human computers to perform fuzzy calculations and achieve the purpose of artificial intelligence.

In contrast, the artificial brain of the Pengzu is just the opposite.

Since the animal brain was referred to from the beginning of the design, under the mental power scan that can easily reach the microcosm from the beginning, the friend can clearly know the simple composition mode and operation method of the animal brain, so that it can be used in the manufacture of artificial brains learn from.

At the same time, the artificial brain uses ternary calculations based on energy, and is much more advanced than computers in terms of fuzzy calculations.

In this way, the support effect of the Pengzu's artificial brain in terms of artificial intelligence is obviously much higher than that of human computers.

But on the other hand, limited by the composition mode of biological brains, the speed of artificial brains in single boring calculations is far inferior to that of human computers.

In short, computers are good at logical operations, but weaker than fuzzy operations, and can be used as scientific computing tools, but not suitable as supporting components for artificial intelligence; artificial brains are just the opposite, good at fuzzy operations but weaker than logical operations, and are very suitable as The supporting components of artificial intelligence are not so suitable for scientific computing.

It is also because of this that the use rate of artificial brains in various scientific research institutions of the Pengzu is not high, but the use of artificial brains continues to expand.

As for the automated factory, Pengzu adopted the cross-control method of multiple artificial brains to make up for the lack of precision.

It was under such circumstances that the friends began to develop a large number of mechanical arms to replace humans and join dangerous troops.

As for the danger of the so-called robot riots, Wu Huan is very open about this aspect, and most of the other friends don't see it.

With the highest 1E-level artificial brain of the existing friends, which is the brain of the insect thinking level, and the friends of the friends are equipped with remote control devices on all mechanical bodies, there is no need to worry about these mechanical soldiers developing self-awareness.How difficult it is to form that thing is clearest from the emptiness that develops from a small cell to the present.

Even if artificial brains reaching level 2 or above are developed in the future, the friends can prevent them from forming self-awareness by controlling the number and working methods.

And from the perspective of Kong Huan, so what if they have formed self-awareness?What's the big deal? A new race like the Moon Spirits has been added to the Big Friends system. Isn't the Moon Spirits now just like robots, and can be mass-produced in the breeding nest?Maybe it can also increase the bragging rights of friends: look, we have created a new race.

Therefore, Pengzu's experience in this area is obviously sufficient.

The essential difference between friends and human beings is that there are many human beings and few friends.

But having said so much, let's return to the topic.

After the previous low-orbit clearing battle, the support ship stayed in the space factory for a month or two. The main improvement was to install several mechanical soldier modules in the outer shell.

In this way, from the outside, the Dongshan support ship seems to have a few more containers in the second half of the shell.

In this way, in addition to the original nine space fighters, the Dongshan has 18 more space-use mechanical soldiers: the Netherfly-class UAV.As a result, a Dongshan-class support ship has the ability to carry a large-scale space fighter while its own combat power reaches 1.2 times that of the Freedom-class defense ship.

"This Hades butterfly-level drone actually has nothing to do with the Hades butterfly, nor does it refer to animals like mechanical soldiers. Instead, it is based on a weakened version of a space fighter."

In the gap between communicating with the ground technology department, Chi Yu's younger sister and Liu Yuan's younger sister Akabane were explaining the data of their own combat power to everyone.This is to let colleagues who have no confidence in the drone because it has not been on the ship for a long time, have an intuitive and fair understanding of this new weapon.

"Considering that the 1E-level brain cannot be mass-produced, the Netherdie-level drone is equipped with a 1D-level brain that is slightly higher than the 1C-level brain of the mechanical soldier ant. The calculation speed has been improved, but the thinking level is the same. "

"In this way, it is impossible for us to let the Hades perform too complicated tasks, so it only has a single combat capability, that is, the 20mm electromagnetic rapid-fire gun. Similarly, its combat movements also need to be learned through cooperation with man and machine , This is also the reason why everyone had to fight together frequently and let some elites try to make high-mobility actions."

"Is it so small because of the single weapon?" asked a bridge crew member.

"Yes," Akabane nodded.

The existing space fighter of the Pengzu is the basic pterosaur class, with a body length of 15 meters, while the UAV of the Hades class seen by the crew is only 11 meters, which makes everyone wonder about its continuous combat ability Feeling worried is also one of the reasons why the crew asked questions.

The Pengzu not only developed drones, but also the combat methods of the drones.

"Drones will not be with manned drones in battle, but will form an independent army and receive direct command from warships. They are mainly used to attack and defend small Zergs with large numbers of Zergs. Simply put, they are dangerous The cannon fodder battles are done by drones, while the manned ones are used to deal with large bugs and bombard the brood."

"Is that so?" Liu Yuan turned to look at Chi Yu.

"Of course, I told her that," Chi Yu said proudly.

As the captain of the Dongshan fighter formation and also the aviation commander, he commands a squadron consisting of a manned aircraft squadron and two drone squadrons, and can generally participate in direct combat during battles.

And if he had accepted the position of aviation commander of the Gashan, he could only sit on the auxiliary bridge and watch the radar.

Because, the Gashan has a full three brigades of mixed space fighters and drones, plus a squadron of auxiliary aircraft that needs to command operations.As the commander of these troops, he had to stay in the mothership and command in real time through communication.Unless you have many motherships in the future and form a large fleet formation, it may be possible to participate in the battle in person.

But now, the aviation commander of the Gashan is obviously powerless.

Therefore, Chi Yu, who likes to fight directly, decisively chose to stay on the Dongshan.

"But think about it, the designers of Gashan are really crazy."

Turning his head to look at the Gashan, which was two kilometers away, but the huge outline could still be seen at this time, Liu Yuan nodded.

The appearance of the Gashan was designed based on the ground mothership. In order to carry a huge fleet and at the same time have enough supplies and food for a protracted war in space, the entire Gashan is nearly 351 meters long and 65 meters in diameter. The empty mass is just 7 tons.

Putting such a scale in the atmosphere, the Pengzu couldn't even imagine it.

That is to say, in the gravity-free space, the Pengzu dared to manufacture such a huge mothership, even a space factory of hundreds of thousands of tons.

But even so, due to the lack of a dock capable of accommodating the Gashan-class mothership, Pengzu had to design a new open giant dock with a length of 500 meters and a diameter of 100 meters, which can be expanded into a square platform or contracted into a A circular dock.

More than six months ago, the skeleton module of the Gashan-class ship arrived at the dock and began to assemble, but it was not until half a year ago that the Gashan-class mothership began its trial voyage.

In other words, the Gashan, which is currently flying with the Dongshan, is still in the trial period.

But this cannot conceal the strength of the opponent.

27 Pterosaur-class manned space fighters, 54 Hades-class UAVs, 3 medium-sized early warning space fighters and 6 high-speed unmanned patrol machines make up the regular fleet of Gashan.

In addition, only the "magnetic deflection shield + thunder defense system" defense module equipped on the meteor-star bombardment ship has also been successfully installed on the Gashan.Since there are not many turrets of its own, and the fighter is equipped with a degaussing device, the magnetic deflection shield on the Gashan class can be turned on during battle, thus ensuring its own defense capability.

In this way, the combat effectiveness of the Gashan class can be imagined.
