Chapter 308 Virtual Cockpit
There were two cockpits for the test, which was specifically requested by the Air Force at the time. The purpose was to test formation flights, mainly the wingman assisted and covered the aircraft. The person who was responsible for the aircraft was Lieutenant Lin Jia, and the wingman was naturally Lieutenant Xu Doug. After simple on-site training, these two walked up the cockpit along the steps and quickly became familiar with the operation.
It is difficult for them to be unfamiliar with it, because this cockpit is no different from the real X series, even some small details are exactly the same, such as the screws at the corners of the instrument panel. It was not designed when it was originally designed, but it was added later. Naturally, it is a bit inconsistent with the environment. This is considered, which shows that the work is done very deeply.
The distance between the two cockpits is about twenty meters, which is the best distance between the ring curtain. With the command, the ring curtain officially started. Lin Jia and Xu Doug immediately discovered that the surrounding environment gradually became an airport. At this time, people visiting the outside can no longer see the scene inside, and the ring curtain isolates the inside and outside, so they can only understand the situation through the virtual screen next to them.
There are two virtual screens next to the test site, namely, the one with a side length of ten meters and the one with a side length of twenty meters. The one with a side length of ten meters is relatively side length, which is specially designed to display the rear lens. The viewing range of the lens is the rear half of the cockpit, looking forward, so you can see the movements of the driver inside the cockpit and some scenes on the periphery. The one with a 20 meters is a main perspective lens, which is taken from the driver's helmet camera, and what they see is what the driver sees.
After Lin Jia discovered that the scene changed, he calmly began to contact the command tower. Before he came, he had a warning and had a certain resistance to these strange things. But Xu Doug was a little bit worse. He still had the romantic nature of a Frenchman, and he couldn't help but mutter a few words about this surprised environment.
The command tower for this test was also served by the Air Force. They were on the viewing seat next to them, holding the walkie-talkie to communicate with the driver. Their viewing seat is specially made, and there is also a small virtual screen to provide the data and charts they need, so they can also command calmly.
As the command tower was released, Lin Jia and Xu Doug began to increase their power, and the plane made a slight whistle. It was generated when the wind blew across the fuselage. This was simulated very well. Lin Jia even thought that he had really driven on x24 again in an instant. With the slight vibration, Lin Jia knew that the fighter had already had enough speed and began to gradually leave the runway.
Li Jingwen looked at the big screen in the observation seat. If he couldn't see clearly, he could call out the small virtual screen in front of the seat, and could operate the small screen to play the current cockpit scene from any angle. However, he didn't do this for the time being, because he now felt that the simulation of this thing was too real. When the plane took off, he could even see the buildings and extremely subtle scenes in front of him.
Lin Jia and Xu Doug performed drills of established actions according to the tower, u-shaped rotation and cross-flight one by one. During this process, they could feel clear gravity changes and light and shadow conversion. Judging from their hundreds of flight experiences, this is indeed very real.
Li Jingwen and his daughter and Lieutenant General Xie Zhenggang knew this better than the pilot. They could see the overall plane from the small screen on the left, and the pilot's vision from the large screen on the right, and of course they would understand this better. Li Jingwen was fine. Although he often reads information, he had never personally used a high-altitude fighter. But Lieutenant General Xie Zhenggang was also an ace pilot back then, so he naturally had a deeper feeling.
General Xie came to Li Jingwen's ear and whispered: "This thing is indeed very useful to us, but I don't know how the gravity simulation is. If the g force is not enough, the effect will not be obvious enough. When you go up, you will find that it is different, and maybe it will be embarrassing."
Li Jingwen nodded and said that he knew. Even if Liu Jinpeng didn't care about this, he must care. He was afraid of being serious in everything. Liu Jinpeng felt it was boring to turn the fighter around like this. Of course, he couldn't see the difficulty of flying. However, he still had some tricks, which would definitely attract attention.
However, before that, Liu Jinpeng had to ask Li Jingwen for instructions: "Your Majesty, look, do you want to have an emergency?"
Li Jingwen didn't know what the kid had, and asked, "What emergencies?"
Liu Jinpeng said with a smile: "The mission of the army is to defend the country, so I think it is better to test it in actual combat. It is better to let the technical department set up a few enemy planes. I believe Lieutenant Lin would not care about this challenge."
Lieutenant General Xie Zhenggang could not pretend to be mute at this time and asked actively: "Dr. Liu, do you think there are a few enemy planes to come out? Are these enemy planes also controlled by the driver?"
Liu Jinpeng said nothing about this technology blindness. Although he was not much stronger, he would not ask such a question at least. However, he still patiently explained to the customer: "Of course not. The enemy plane is controlled by AI. We have extracted a lot of information from excellent drivers over the years. The analysis and research of these data can ensure that at least some driving technology can be restored. Of course, some difficult things such as cobra maneuver cannot be done, which is more sorry."
General Xie curled his lips a little and thought to himself that if your AI can make a cobra maneuver, then our Air Force spent so much money to train the driver, so why not give it to your AI. However, one thing he didn't expect was that Liu Jinpeng didn't want to make things difficult for him. In such a field with extremely high physical requirements, robots usually have stronger tolerance than humans. The only shortcoming is probably that they have poor adaptability.
For example, Lin Lin and Eva, they can also get on fighter jets after training, and even have advantages in high-difficulty and high-pressure movements, at least they have higher pressure resistance than humans. The anti-duty suit worn by fighter jet drivers is to resist the high-intensity, high-pressure and g-force effects of fighter jets in high-speed movements, and robots can even use that kind of thing at all.
Not only that, Lin Lin and Eva can also make many complex mobile tactical actions, and even complete some extremely coordinated actions, because they are actually two copies of the same AI. Ordinary intelligent core cannot achieve complex maneuvers, which is also related to the level of AI. It is not that too complicated AI Yiti cannot do it, but there is no need.
The intelligent core used in the cockpit is probably the C-level core, which is higher than the B-level core of the Pingjing robot factory and the A-level core of the translator, but it is not particularly rare, and is similar to the highest level on the server of the beauty salon. The highest level of intelligent core currently in use is the main control computer of Titanium Star Laboratory, which is around H-level, which is because the data it needs to process is relatively complicated.
But even the highest z-level core lacks a lot of capabilities compared to Lin Lin and Eva, and the traffic of analyzing data is much less, let alone Yiti, who has collected countless copies. Basically, since the discovery of Titanium Asterisk by Liu Jinpeng, Yiti has used only 102 copies at the same time, and it is still at about 98.
Since everyone agreed, Liu Jinpeng asked Allen to start setting up enemy aircraft, and the control tower also began to warn the drivers, ordering them to pay attention to recruiting enemies. The enemy aircraft set this time was the f series of the imaginary enemy of the Han Empire, and the first time they appeared were two f22s.
The clouds are not very thick and the light is sufficient. The advantage of the x series is that they are fast diving speed and climbing, but their turning performance is not as fast as the f series, so Lin Jia advised Xu Doug not to fight with enemy aircraft, and quickly climbing has the advantage of height. The enemy aircraft on the opposite side also discovered two x24s here and immediately began to climb the height, but it was obviously not as fast as here.
Lin Jia cunningly used the not-so-thick clouds, directly putting on the clouds, hovering on them, waiting for an opportunity. Xu Doug, as a wingman, naturally had to guard the left and right. The f22 opposite was also very cunning, and used his turn advantage to break out of the clouds and make another big turn, finding out the position of x24. But Lin Jia would not suffer in vain. He asked Xu Doug to use his height advantage to shoot a round of f22 in the clouds.
Unfortunately, f22 has rich experience. After returning to the clouds, another swing went around the edge of the clouds. This time, Lin Jia and the other were targeted by each other. F22 did not use a machine cannon, but directly launched a heat tracking missile. Lin Jia and the other quickly fired a jamming foil. Fortunately, the two sides were far away and finally escaped.
Lin Jia also secretly wiped his sweat. If he was closer than a few hundred meters this time, he might not even have the chance to throw foil, which would be really embarrassing. He calmed down and took the wingman down through the clouds again, then turned upwards. F22 did chase after him this time, and x24 also turned around, fired a tracking missile at a very close distance, and shot down a wingman. However, in the end, the enemy's aircraft took advantage of the linear speed of the f22 and ran away.
After the battle, Lin Jia and Xu Doug returned to the airport under the command of the tower. After the fighter plane landed, the test was over. Lt. General Xie did not express any opinions. He now attaches great importance to the experience of Lin Jia and Xu Doug. After all, they have tested it personally, and those who did not board the plane cannot explain the specific concept.
Lin Jia and Xu Doug are both optimistic about this virtual cockpit and believe that it can partially replace actual aircraft training. However, since the test time is not long, they hope to have more opportunities to conduct testing to help designers improve. In this case, General Xie also made a decision to order twenty virtual cockpits, and this batch of cockpits will be used for training at Jinling Air Force Base, and Lin Jia and others are from that base.
This batch of cockpits will undergo a three-month test. If the test is passed, General Xie said that he could order another 300 units on behalf of the Jinling Military Region. Of course, this must be completely qualified. I believe the drivers will also put forward many specific improvement suggestions. Liu Jinpeng is also willing to send two technical support staff to collect opinions from the test machine at designated locations.
