Chapter 202: These Drones Know Who They Are

Chapter 202: These Drones Know Who They Are Xijing, Yanliang District, is a famous airplane city. When Jiang Hao's motorcade got off the highway, it was noon and the main roads of the city were crowded with various electric vehicles. Without startling anyone, Jiang Hao's convoy circled around and drove into the Xi'an Aircraft Corporation's flight test base. "Hello, Academician Tang, hello!" At the Xi'an Aircraft Corporation's flight test base, Jiang Hao greeted Academician Tang, the chief designer of Kun-20, with a smile. "Hey, every time I see you looking so young, I feel anxious!" Academician Tang smiled, and then continued to say to Jiang Hao: "Haven't you eaten yet?" "No, save your room for noodles!" Jiang Hao said with a smile. "Come on, let's eat first and talk after we finish eating!" Academician Tang smiled and pulled Jiang Hao into the cafeteria. In the cafeteria, sitting with Jiang Hao to eat was not only Academician Tang, but also Zhong Zefei, a former member of the "Air Research Group 106", and more than a dozen formal students who had participated in the "JHSX Special Training Class". After a simple lunch, Jiang Hao sat in a teaching and research room. Before, Jiang Hao stood on the podium to explain and answer questions most of the time, but now, Jiang Hao sits on the judges' panel and becomes an expert judge.

"Teacher Jiang, Academician Tang, and fellow comrades, good afternoon. I am Zhong Zefei, the general manager of this 'Beehive Project'." "Next, I will report to you the results of our project." The middle-aged researcher standing on the stage began his project report with great enthusiasm. The "Beehive Project" is a drone swarm project based on the Kun-20 large transport aircraft platform. The core of this project is an intelligent UAV military application equipped with the "Jiang Hao Computer Language" program and paired with the "Jiang Song Chip". After the brief project introduction was completed, the teaching and research office fell silent. As the chief designer of Kun-20, since this project is related to Kun-20, Academician Tang, like Jiang Hao, is also a judge of this project. Academician Tang thought there was no problem with the project itself. He was also shocked to see a group of drones launched by a Kun-20. Academician Tang did not have too many questions about drone technology. Since "Jiang Hao Mathematics" began to be applied in China's military aviation field, China's aircraft have developed rapidly. After thinking for a while, Academician Tang asked Zhong Zefei on the stage: "So, the core issue of this project now is the data transmission security issue? After all, if such a large-scale bee colony is invaded, it is very likely to counterattack us." In response to Academician Tang's question, Zhong Zefei on the podium hurriedly shook his head and explained, "No, no, no, data transmission is not a problem at all!" When faced with questions about data transmission, Zhong Zefei on the stage immediately became enthusiastic. He was originally an expert in flight control and was later selected to join the "Air Research Group 106". In this group, he gained development like a "new life". His team leader Jiang Hao opened the door to a whole new field for him, so every time he saw team leader Jiang Hao, he respectfully called Jiang Hao "teacher". At this moment, facing Academician Tang's question about the "Beehive Project", Zhong Zefei looked at Jiang Hao excitedly and said: “The drones in this ‘Project Beehive’ won’t have any data transmission security issues.” "Because these drones are all running on a new Jiang Hao computer language." "This is a brand new computer language. Under this language system, after these drones are released, they are separate individuals. There is not much information transmission between them. Each one is an intelligent entity." "They are like bees that are released to collect honey. Although they will be disturbed, they know how to go home, their mission and their enemies." Then, Zhong Zefei on the stage looked at Jiang Hao with a complex expression of piety and fear, and slowly said: "A simple but terrifying statement is: these drones know who they are!"

"Teacher Jiang Hao's new computer language has completely changed the world." Zhong Zefei's words "These drones know who they are!" suddenly plunged the entire teaching and research department into noise. Consciousness, artificial consciousness, this is a very sensitive and important philosophical topic. In comparison, Jiang Hao was much calmer. He just nodded lightly. This kind of computer logic was created by him and he was very familiar with it. After the "JH. Bentley" press conference, most people thought that the entire in-vehicle technology system represented by the accompanying drone was a development in computer technology, and a development and progress in big data, machine learning and artificial intelligence. But those who really understand it know that it is actually a complete subversion of computer technology. "Are you saying it is conscious?" A judge in the audience frowned and asked the project host Zhong Zefei. "No!" Zhong Zefei nodded hurriedly and said, "It doesn't mean it has consciousness." Zhong Zefei continued, "It should be redefined. This is not a biological 'consciousness', nor is it a 'consciousness' that robots replace humans in European and American blockbusters, but a computer 'consciousness'." "I think my teacher Jiang Hao is more understanding." The teaching and research office fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Jiang Hao. Feeling everyone's gaze, Jiang Hao thought for a moment and said, "This is a new application of computer logic, so we not only face many new problems, but also many new cognitive definitions." Jiang Hao’s academic work started from the chaos principle of “prediction”, and “prediction” always involves some “thinking”. At the beginning, Jiang Hao wanted to be "lazy" when conducting project analysis, so he added some automation and intelligence to the program when writing it. Later, Jiang Hao felt that these "automation and intelligence" were too stupid, so he established a new language system under the framework of Jiang Hao Mathematics. This new language system needs the "soil" to operate. Then there was the "Jiang Hao Language Basic Database Filling" subcontract project, and now there is the "integration project" of international capital. It is also with the "integration project" of international capital that the entire "Jiang Hao Language Basic Database" is constantly expanding and expanding, and the operation of the entire Jiang Hao computer language will slowly show "consciousness". However, how to define and recognize this "new thing" is more of a job for social science scholars. A professor from Northwestern Polytechnical University asked a question: "Such a powerful logic operation requires a lot of data calculation and processing capabilities?" On the stage, Zhong Zefei continued to shake his head, staring at Jiang Hao with fiery eyes and said, "No, no, I still say that. This is a new computer language and a new chip. It should not be measured by traditional operating standards." "It's just like how even the most advanced chips can't process human brain thinking, because the operating mechanism of the human brain is completely different from that of electrons." "Similarly, this new Jiang Hao computer language is completely different from the traditional computer operating mechanism. We cannot measure it with traditional data calculation and processing capabilities." "That is to say, even if these drones are equipped with the most advanced chips, they will not be able to operate. They can only operate on the 'Jiang Song chip' produced in the laboratory." After Zhong Zefei finished speaking, everyone's eyes were focused on Jiang Hao, and the atmosphere in the teaching and research office became much heavier. This was the first time for many people to come into contact with this new language, and Zhong Zefei's explanation on the stage really shocked everyone. Facing everyone's gaze, Jiang Hao didn't say anything, but just nodded, indicating that he agreed with Zhong Zefei's statement. Then he glanced at the darkening sky outside the window and said, "It's getting dark, let's take a look at the specific test flight experiment!" (End of this chapter)
