Two days later, the first version of the UAV AI flight control model finally completed preliminary training. Not only Wang Jiancheng, but Chen Nian was also excited.

There are two reasons.

First, through this small scientific research project, he confirmed his abilities and got rid of his subconscious dependence on the system.

The second reason is because of the generous rewards this achievement provided him.

The moment the model ran through, he actually directly obtained 6 source points!

What is this concept?

Just give me an H-20!

Sure enough, artificial intelligence has unlimited potential, and the benefits brought by this project are far more than what he has seen so far.

However, since all the points have been given, if I don’t spend them, I would be a bit sorry for the kindness of the system.

From drones to drones, isn't this the most basic respect?

Looking at the system interface in front of him, Chen Nian chuckled, and a message flashed in his mind:

"Cihong-7 UAV analyzes requirements!"

As thoughts flashed through, subtitles began to appear before my eyes.

【Rainbow-7 UAV】

[Analysis requirements: 1.2]

??Why only 1.2?

Chen Nian looked at this number in confusion, a little unbelievable.

Isn't this thing the most advanced surveillance and combat drone from the time when I traveled back in time? Why is it so worthless?

But, think about it carefully.

When it comes to drones, the biggest difficulty lies in the electronic system. From a horizontal comparison, the Rainbow-7 system is basically on the same level as its contemporary UAVs in the United States.

The technology of most UAVs in the United States is interconnected and inherited from electronic countermeasures aircraft.

On the premise that we have already obtained relevant technologies, there will indeed not be much increase in knowledge.

At most, it’s just a data link + satellite technology which is difficult to implement, but the pure technical difficulty of this thing is not that high, it just costs money.

Chen Nian frowned subconsciously and thought to himself:

If Rainbow-7 is so cheap, it is not impossible to analyze it.

However, it is not the case to keep the source points in your hand without spending them.

Otherwise, why not just go one step further?

What are you doing with Rainbow-7? Just design a Rainbow-8 yourself!

Anyway, the logic of the system is that as long as the concept exists and there is theoretically feasible equipment, it can be analyzed.

He had tried it before, and even something as heaven-defying as the Death Star could appear in the system.

What's the big deal with just one drone?

So, he did what he said and immediately began to sort out his "Rainbow-8" drone design on paper.

"Rainbow-8 UAV."

"This is an extremely advanced drone that integrates surveillance and attack."

"It is capable of supersonic flight and can carry a variety of different ammunition, with a maximum bomb load of 8 tons, a maximum detection range of 600 kilometers, and a range of 6,000 kilometers."

"It has super stealth capabilities and the RCS area is less than 0.01 square meters."

"It has short-range, catapult takeoff capabilities and can take off from an aircraft carrier."

"At the same time, it also has extremely strong air superiority performance and can be used as a fighter wingman."

Chen Nian wrote a lot eloquently and felt very good about himself. However, when he called up the system to check the analysis requirements, he was dumbfounded.

【Rainbow-8 UAV】

[Analysis requirements: 3.6]

Damn it, he’s only 3.6?

Who do you look down on?

I obviously think that as a drone, this design is strong enough, but now it seems that the system does not think so.

Isn’t this challenging your imagination?

Chen Nian pursed his lips in dissatisfaction, then picked up the pen and added on the paper:

"This drone has integrated air and space combat capabilities and can fly outside the atmosphere."

Then, he turned on the system again.

This time, he was recognized by the system.

But it seems that the recognition is too much!

11.6 points are consumed. What are you doing?

After Chen Nian thought for a while, he understood the key to the problem.

It should be an engine problem.

If we want to achieve integrated air and space operations, we must give priority to solving the technical difficulties of dual-mode engines. At present, China does not have any reliable technology accumulation in this regard.

Therefore, the analysis of this thing is extremely difficult.

He sighed, crossed out the last item honestly, and then modified the parameters of the drone.

After several adjustments, he was finally satisfied with the analytical source point requirements given by the system.

It has a maximum range of 9,000 kilometers under no load, a maximum bomb load of 10 tons, and a maximum speed of Mach 1.9. It has certain air superiority combat capabilities, relatively strong stealth and situational awareness capabilities.

Objectively speaking, except for the unmanned aerial vehicle, it should be considered a slightly weaker fourth-generation aircraft.

Of course, this thing still can't be used as a pure air superiority aircraft. The large bomb load of 10 tons is aimed at the direction of the bomb truck.

Under this design, the source point consumption also reached 5.9 points.

He has almost spent all the points he earned on this project.

Chen Nian smiled with satisfaction, and then the analysis began!

Information rushed into his mind like a torrent, and gradually, this imaginary drone appeared clearly in his mind.

Variable sweep wings, variable cycle engine, built-in magazine, the latest avionics system

Compared with the directions that China has already tried, there is not much new stuff.

But it is indeed not easy to combine these technologies.

He breathed a long sigh of relief and silently integrated the information with his existing knowledge.

Half an hour later, the analysis was completely completed.

Chen Nian was secretly excited.

He knew that with the birth of this drone, the Chinese Air Force, which already had a technological advantage, would take another big step forward.

Moreover, what is even more rare is that compared to large-scale projects such as H-20 and Deep Blue 16, the UAV project has many additional advantages.

For example, the research and development and manufacturing cycles are much shorter, and the difficulty of pilot training is also greatly reduced.

Didn’t the Yankees once recruit gamers to participate in drone training, or even recruit them into the army?

We can also do this when necessary.

If a war breaks out, what does it mean to have a drone that is as good as a normal fourth-generation aircraft?

This means that even if a few are exchanged for one, it is still a profit.

Because you can't train a qualified pilot in two months, but I can rely on a complete production line to manufacture dozens of drones in two months.

War, no matter what form of war it is, in the end is about fighting people.

Taking advantage of effective forces means taking the initiative in war.

Chen Nian was in an extremely happy mood. He took out a piece of white paper and began to write down the key technical points of the Rainbow-8 drone on it.

Then, he picked up the phone and called Chen Guo, who was online almost 24 hours a day.

"Professor Chen, do you have time?"

"Yes, the UAV wingman flight control system has basically been tested, and the results are pretty good. But what I want to talk to you about is another matter."

"I'm thinking, now that the flight control system has come out, shouldn't we also work hard on drones?"

"I have some ideas about drones that I would like to discuss with you."

I had a fever today, so it was even later.

It's quite uncomfortable. The temperature is changing during this period. Please pay attention to your health.
