"...The main content of this experimental test is to test the anti-missile interception capability of the low-altitude laser rapid response interception system in relevant environments, especially the system's laser interception capability under enemy saturation firepower.

This system was pioneered by Blue Star. It uses the world's most advanced cluster control algorithm and has the advantages of miniaturization, lightness, and intelligence. It is mainly designed to deal with high-speed moving missiles and rockets within a range of five to ten kilometers. "

Fireflies are 33 centimeters long, 21 centimeters wide and 15 centimeters high. They are slightly smaller than bees. Compared with the special models of Laohua, which are just bees with a laser tube mounted on them, the kinetic energy weapon is directly cut off. The system greatly reduces the overall burden, so the size is also reduced accordingly.

The entire drone's weapon system only has a fifty-kilowatt laser irradiation system. Well, the energy source is naturally yellow diamond.

As Liu Tao narrated, the Fireflies in the shooting range suddenly seemed to have received some instructions, and suddenly formed groups, each group consisting of four Fireflies. Finally, the groups began to merge with each other, and slowly formed Five aerial three-dimensional square arrays, each firefly is half a meter apart. From a distance, it looks like five walls hanging in the air. The whole process only takes half a minute.

A group of big bosses felt relieved when they saw the scene in front of them. This gave them a familiar feeling, as if they were watching their soldiers suddenly receive an emergency gathering order and quickly put down what they were doing in a short time. Arranged in a neat square array within a certain period of time.

For people, this can be done very well after a period of training, but if the object is replaced by a drone, although they are laymen, they still know a little common sense.

A large group of chaotic drones in the sky were suddenly ordered to form a designated formation, and the speed was even faster. During this period, if one mistake was made, the car would crash. But in the short half minute just now, they thought they were going to crash many times. The car crashed, but just watching two or more Fireflies "pass by" with a gap of at most five centimeters made my hands sweat.

But seeing the calm faces of Liu Tao and the head of a certain military research institute, a group of people blushed again, thinking that they were the emperor who was not in a hurry and the eunuchs who were.

Most people were keenly aware of the most eye-catching highlight of this system. One of the bosses said in amazement: "Although I don't know much about the specific technology, I also know that it is necessary for such a large group of drones to fly It must be very difficult to quickly move from a state of scattered sand into a neat formation in a short period of time.

You just said that you are using a cluster control algorithm. I have read relevant introductions and I think it is very similar to the cloud computing recently launched by your chip alliance. "

Liu Tao immediately explained: "Actually, they are just two applications of distributed computing."

Then Liu Tao briefly introduced distributed computing and cloud computing to everyone.

Distributed computing decomposes an application into many small parts and assigns them to multiple computers for processing. This can save overall computing time and greatly improve computing efficiency.

Cloud computing is a technology born out of distributed computing. It refers to decomposing huge data computing processing programs into countless small programs through the network "cloud", and then processing and analyzing these through a system composed of multiple servers. The applet gets the results and returns them to the user, thereby achieving powerful network services.

The reason why the Chip Alliance held a hardware open source conference in your province and all parties reached an agreement on open source server hardware is for cloud computing.

With cloud computing, everyone will start to develop their own cloud servers, which will greatly reduce the operating costs of all Internet companies in China. At the same time, this will also be a big benefit to those small and medium-sized enterprises, as they no longer have to bear the responsibility for servers. The operation and maintenance costs are high. Except for some core secrets, general businesses only need to purchase relevant cloud computing services.

As for the data centers they own, small players like them are not thinking about how to take off when they first start their business. They will only consider surviving after they have become a big manufacturer.

While large manufacturers are improving the utilization rate of idle server resources, they will also charge a certain fee to customers who purchase cloud servers to make profits.

But this extends to a new problem. In the future, small and medium-sized enterprises will only need to buy cloud services. However, the servers set up by major Internet companies responsible for setting up cloud servers are mostly expensive brand servers.

When everyone settled the accounts, they were all so frightened that they almost vomited blood. Damn it, they wanted to significantly reduce costs before they built a cloud server. They had no doubt that they would reduce costs in the future, but now they are losing money. Whether it can last until the future is another matter.

So the Internet tycoons raised this issue to the Chip Alliance again. After everyone discussed it for a while, they decided to reconstruct the server production architecture. By separating the rack and server components, the components can be developed independently, shortening hardware development, The cycle of upgrades and innovations is designed to accelerate hardware upgrades. The core point is-fast.

Different from the demand for standardized servers in general industries or general application scenarios, the Internet industry and cloud computing have specific requirements for servers: including easy expansion, matching business attributes, and rapid delivery.

To put it in a down-to-earth way, you have to go as fast as you can without causing problems.

The entire Internet industry's demand for cloud server installation speed has affected hardware manufacturers such as the Chip Alliance. After all, in addition to those major Internet manufacturers, some major hardware manufacturers are also preparing to develop their own cloud server business, so they are also scratching their heads on this issue.

If major manufacturers want to establish their own cloud server brands, they must build their own large data centers. The demand for the number of servers has skyrocketed, and cloud computing has weakened the requirements for the performance indicators of a single server, which requires more The most common two-way server is also driven by the parallel virtualization principle of multiple machines (clusters) in cloud computing.

Therefore, low-priced and easy-to-produce products such as white-label servers are favored by everyone, so everyone decided to open source the hardware on the server: software, circuit schematics, bill of materials, design drawings, etc. all use open source license agreements and can be used freely. Sharing is completely open source and authorized for use.

By formulating server component standards, ODM foundries can mass-produce server standard components, thereby reducing server production costs and enabling rapid design and deployment of servers.

This China IT Hardware Open Source Conference, which can be recorded in history, was naturally held in your province.

After listening to the introduction about cloud computing, the big guys here all sighed with emotion. The development speed of the mainland in the past two years has been particularly magical. It changes every day, which makes them a little uncomfortable.

Three years ago, everyone was still in the stage of "soil g but no soil, combat effectiveness five". But in the blink of an eye, unmanned vehicles, artificial intelligence, stratospheric drones, and practical laser weapons are still a bit science fiction for this era. The thing appeared vividly in front of them.

In particular, the group of 300-ton Zhijiu modified vehicles that travel between desalination plants in coastal areas and Western Xinjiang every day made them doubt their lives. How could it be so difficult if they had these things in the past?

Liu Tao didn't know the sadness in the hearts of a group of big guys. After talking about cloud computing, Liu Tao began to educate them about the cluster control algorithm of the laser interception system.

"The so-called cluster control technology is also a specific application of distributed algorithms. The core is decentralization. All basic units in the entire system can become the center.

Let us be able to grasp the information fed back by each basic unit in real time. Normally, the system program automatically controls everything about the drone, but if necessary, we can switch to manual control at any time.

This technology can also make full use of all idle computing resources in all basic unit hardware of the entire system.

At the same time, each basic unit can also become an independent subsystem, and several subsystems are combined to form several larger systems, and then these systems together form a larger system.

All basic units are combined into a whole, forming a supercomputer that can flexibly move, add or delete subsystems, thus realizing de-hosting and decentralization! "
