Through the layers of hidden isolation doors, Ye Qing took a special elevator to the laboratory located 100 meters below the ground of the building.
The laboratory was an inverted pyramid structure, divided into upper, middle, and lower floors.
The energy supply here was independent, and at the bottom of the laboratory, there was a dark river located in the rock layer, which could provide independent water supply and circulating heat dissipation functions for the laboratory.
This was the core scientific research site of the Monster Industries Building, and it was also the most hidden and safe area.
At present, this laboratory was a technological paradise for Dian Jing and Ye Qing.
After arriving at the laboratory, Ye Qing, who had walked around, found that Dian Jing was sitting in front of the circular screen, studying something intently like a severe Internet addict.
Ye Qing called Dian Jing twice before it came back to its senses.
"Where is the amorphous weapon you mentioned?" Ye Qing had just gone to the research and development area where the amorphous metal was stored and found that the hundreds of kilograms of amorphous metal obtained from the factory were still placed in the storage box as they were.
The materials and production costs of these hundreds of kilograms of amorphous metal alone were close to 500 million yuan.
If it was sold to the outside world, the price of one billion yuan per kilogram would not be outrageous.
"Boss, don't worry. Aren't we designing its control system?" Dian Jing pointed to a pile of incomprehensible code on the circular screen and said, "After 30 hours of hard work, the first-generation control system has finally been finalized."
"You've been busy for half a day before you've finished the system?" Ye Qing had just seen several electronic messengers equipped in the laboratory sitting in front of the screen and tapping on the keyboard.
Even the host computer in the laboratory was calculating something at full power.
Dian Jing used these top-notch scientific and technological forces to fiddle with a control system for dozens of hours?
"This is not a control system in the general sense."
Dian Jing clenched her small fists, and her voice was sonorous and powerful.
"Boss, let me ask you a question first."
"Have you ever thought about how our amorphous weapon should be controlled to destroy enemy ships in the sea?"
"Didn't you say you were fully responsible?" Ye Qing shrugged. Although Dian Jing sometimes went astray in terms of creativity, no one could compare to her in terms of technical solutions. Since the design concept had already been finalized, Dian Jing said that she would be responsible for all the technical solutions. Of course, Ye Qing was happy to be idle.
Now that Dian Jing had asked, Ye Qing quickly realized the technical difficulties involved.
Because it was in the sea.
Logically speaking, controlling a weapon was, of course, through electromagnetic waves.
It was the same for existing human weapons. Planes communicated through electromagnetic waves in the sky, and missiles were guided and controlled through electromagnetic waves after they were launched.
Then, if it was in the sea …
Electromagnetic waves decayed exponentially in the sea, and the rate of decay was even faster than snow under the sun.
If it used short waves, its communication range would be less than one meter before it was absorbed by the seawater.
Even if it was a high-power long wave, it would only be able to penetrate less than a hundred meters.
Therefore, it was impossible to communicate underwater using electromagnetic waves. This was determined by the characteristics of the sea. Even the Monster Industries could not do anything about it.
Torpedoes were mostly guided by wires. If a submarine launched a torpedo, there would be a fiber optic wire as thin as a fishing line behind the torpedo. The length of the wire could be hundreds of kilometers.
This wire had the same specific gravity as water and could be suspended in the water without gravity. Through the wire, the torpedo could flexibly adjust the target position and had strong anti-interference capabilities.
"We can't use wires." Dian Jing rejected this control method.
"Ordinary torpedoes will self-destruct when they touch the target, and we use shock waves to kill the target. But our weapons rely on their own cutting characteristics and thermal characteristics to destroy the target. "
"It only takes a moment for the torpedo to self-destruct. Our weapons may continue to attack the target ship for a few minutes, or even more than ten minutes, and drill into the target ship's hull."
"If we use wires, the moment we drill into the hull, the wires will be cut off by the hull damage."
"Information can also be transmitted through sound waves underwater." Ye Qing thought about it, but he quickly rejected it. "No, the transmission speed of sound waves is too slow. I remember that the transmission speed of sound waves underwater is only 1.5 kilometers per second. In addition, sound waves can only communicate in one direction, and data loss is serious. When the weapon starts to work, the mechanical noise of cutting will definitely drown out the communication sound waves. "
"So I designed an intelligent control system."
Dian Jing's hands tapped on the keyboard a few times, and the dazzling code on the circular screen turned into a transparent sphere.
Dian Jing pointed to the screen and said, "This is the first generation of artificial intelligence operating system. I named it [Saber-Toothed Tiger]."
"You mean to say that the operating system can autonomously control the amorphous metal to destroy the hull?"
"Yes." Dian Jing snapped her fingers and said proudly, "The Saber-Toothed Tiger system was transplanted from the Watchman robot and the Thunderbolt car's unmanned intelligent program. These two programs are particularly powerful in image recognition and information recognition. "
"In the past two days, I have mainly increased the attack commands of this program and optimized its learning ability. This way, it can improve its' combat ability 'through a lot of training."
Artificial intelligence with the ability to learn was not rare.
For example, two years ago, AlphaGo, who was invincible in the world of Go, was a representative of the artificial intelligence program.
This kind of program may not be amazing in the early stages, and it may even make many stupid and ridiculous mistakes when executing orders.
But as long as a suitable "battlefield" was created for it, it could gradually improve its proficiency through a large number of training simulations.
Its training speed depended on the computing speed of the server.
For example, AlphaGo, who no longer played Go with humans, had improved at an exponential speed to the level of Go that made people despair.
Of course ~
AlphaGo could be so powerful because the rules of Go were fixed.
In the ever-changing battlefield situation, Dian Jing's Saber-Toothed Tiger artificial intelligence was ten times more complicated than AlphaGo's.
For a very simple example, if the Saber-Toothed Tiger artificial intelligence system encountered the crew of the enemy ship, what would it do?
The crew was full of countless uncertainties. If the Saber-Toothed Tiger's system was not smart enough, the crew could even play some tricks and trap it on the ship.
"Boss, I collected a lot of warship structure information from the Internet, and we also have an active Burke-class destroyer to study. Now, this information has been incorporated into the simulated battlefield."
"We just need to train the Saber-Toothed Tiger on the battlefield."
Ye Qing nodded and became very excited.
Dian Jing's solution was not a problem. Since they could not solve the communication problem, they would let the weapon play by itself.
A weapon with the ability to think independently could avoid all electromagnetic interference means.
In addition, Ye Qing also thought of a safety device.
The weapon they were researching was to be equipped with a fission knife. They could add a self-destruct device to the fission knife. If the Saber-Toothed Tiger was trapped and had no hope of escaping, it could also activate the self-destruct device and turn itself into a "dirty bomb."
"The simulated battlefield program has been completed?"
"Yes, boss." Dian Jing said excitedly, "When I informed you, it had just been completed. Now we can begin the first combat training."
