"Report to headquarters, we killed it, damn, we lost two sets of brothers, we want to confirm that we have torn that guy apart."

Four "Cheyenne" armed compound helicopters were hovering over the still-burning remains of the enemy aircraft on the ground. They were still unwilling to use the six-barreled Gatling gun on the nose of the aircraft to shoot back and forth at the ground, trying to eliminate those who might still be alive. Driver, until the ammunition is empty.

Just ten seconds ago, four air-to-air missiles hit the fleeing rotorcraft of an unknown model almost simultaneously, setting off a huge fireworks in the sky.

The damn guy was finally shot down.

"After receiving 1, two planes will be left to continue searching for survivors. The other groups will return. Someone will come to seal the scene in half an hour."

"No. 12 and No. 3 are staying at the 1 headquarters. Come back with me on the 5th. Damn it, it's such an unlucky day."

Two "Cheyenne" armed compound helicopters stayed over the scene and continued to circle, while the other two turned around and flew towards the "Skunk" factory in Palmdale (Palmdale).

Two minutes ago, the automatic flight parameters were set to abduct four Lockheed "Cheyennes". Taking advantage of the release of infrared jamming bombs to affect the opponent's night vision equipment, Bai Lang, like the "Oriole", quietly detached from the aircraft and pulled towards the aircraft. Vegas is close.

Like "Silver", he wears mobile clothing that can evade infrared detectors. "Airwolf" was originally designed to sneak in. The escape equipment is completely different from conventional search and rescue equipment.

In Area 5, the hangar where four Fa-XX fighter jets are parked is still brightly lit. The brightness produced by dozens of miner's lamps on the top of the hangar makes the hangar almost no different from daytime.

The steaming coffee and snacks on the table provide continuous energy for their work. There are also several oil pans emitting huge heat and of course the strong smell of kerosene.

The area in Zone 5 is not only desolate but also has a large temperature difference between morning and evening. A T-shirt or shirt may be enough during the day, but at night a windbreaker that can maintain body temperature is necessary.

The "Adam" project leader and several key senior engineers were sitting around a desk that could accommodate ten people, typing on the laptop keyboard.

The time has pointed to twelve o'clock, but they still have no sleepiness.

Even now, they are still improving the source code of the "Adam" system.

Four mechanical groups are intensively inspecting and debugging in preparation for the test flight after dawn.

"Adam" is not a civilian operating system platform, not a game, but an intelligent combat system with a high degree of autonomy and learning capabilities. It may be the beginning of truly intelligent technology for mankind.

In short, this must be a starting point. Anyone who pioneers and strives to develop and expand it will dominate the dividing tool in the future big cake.

Only success is allowed, no failure is allowed.

This is a fatal order from the top chairman of Boeing Company. If something goes wrong, it would be easy to just kick him home and eat old rice. Maybe he will have to clean his butt and sit in jail.

In addition to the mechanics surrounding the four F-A-XXs who were carefully reading the parameters of the airborne "Adam" system and whispering, the most common sound in the hangar was the incessant and crisp sound of keyboard tapping.

The soldiers stationed inside and outside the hangar and in every corner remained silent and alert without blinking.

The appearance of "Adam" was a coincidence, just a gamble using chaos collision theory. Fortunately, their project team spent a long time and cost, and after bearing great pressure, they finally succeeded. A person with a learning mechanism The intelligent core appeared, and all their efforts finally paid off.

"Professor Jeffrey, do we really need to release permissions above level n? This is not good."

A senior engineer stopped his hand just before the last step of encapsulating the source code module he had made, with a hesitant look on his face.

Until now, even in internal testing, theirs has only been open to G level.

The "Adam" intelligent unmanned combat system is subject to a security authorization program called "Pandora's Box", and the operation authorization level is divided into 26 levels.

Divided from a to z, level a is the lowest, meaning that all modules are blocked and only the core can run, while level z is the highest and can run all functional modules.

"That's right. 'Adam, it can show enough intelligence and application functions, which is enough for flight demonstration. Anyway, it only takes one day. We can control it, and it is worth taking a little risk."

Jeffrey. Professor Hatch reviewed the engineers' program source code, and only after confirming that it was correct would the code be locked, and the software engineers would use the computing resources of their laptops to perform packaging processing.

The key to the core of intelligence lies in learning and control. The spontaneous learning mechanism is derived from the principle of chaotic collision, but how to control it is what Boeing has been doing in its projects.

Just like teaching a newborn child, they have to teach "Adam" what he can and cannot do, so that he can learn the rules and not let him grow up uncontrollably, causing terrible consequences.

Without these rules, "Adam" will grow into the most terrifying program in human history, with unprecedented aggressiveness. It is not only based on software, but also based on hardware, extending the aggressiveness into reality.

No one knows to what extent "Adam" will be born with an increasingly complex evolutionary mechanism.

Boeing's long-term job is to tame an unknown creature, give it controllable minions and attack power, and aim it at the target they set to achieve the effect they need.

Although "Adam" has never shown any evil or ferocity so far, and is very obedient, no one dares to take it lightly. Too many movies and public worries have made all project team staff never relax their vigilance. , so the "Pandora's Box" program specially divided into 26 levels of security authority is used to ensure that all of this must be controlled in the hands of Boeing, or in the hands of humans.

"Okay, Professor Jeffrey!

The engineer pressed the Enter key, and a progress bar appeared on the screen.

"Well 1 good job, Logan 1 everyone should work harder and try to get everything done before dawn. As long as the test flight is completed, I will give everyone a week's holiday, a paid holiday!

Professor Jeffrey Hatch planned to loosen the reins of this armed beast. His words made all the software engineers cheer quietly and bump each other with their fists. After working overtime day and night, they could finally catch their breath.

The 26th level authority of the "Pandora's Box" safety mechanism is definitely the best rein in his hands.

In ancient Greek, "Pan" means "all", and "Dora" means "gift", a gift from the gods to humans.

The meaning of "Pandora's Box" is the same as in myths and legends. It is used to contain and seal "Adam" and is specially used to properly keep "Adam".

Give everyone an amazing performance tomorrow. If you are lucky, you can even finalize the order for the next generation fighter jet in advance. Then the project leader will be able to stand out from many project teams and be promoted to a real department manager.

The department manager responsible for a fighter jet has a bright future, Jeffrey. Hutch couldn't help but zone out for a few seconds.

“Mine is already healed 1Jeffrey!

Another engineer breathed a long sigh of relief, stopped knocking, and faced Jeffrey. Hutch waved.

"Well done, Jack, our progress is a step faster. Everyone can have a little more time to catch up on their sleep. You are indeed the most attentive guy in our project team. Great job. You will be responsible for all the integration later. And the upgrades on those four aircraft.”

Jeffrey. Hatch quickly scanned the lines of source code and ran it for a test run. The debugging was correct and he was confident that the progress was faster than he expected.

When preparing to transfer the source code back for packing, he felt a little thirsty and sleepy, so he reached for the coffee cup.

Jeffrey. Ha Qifei did not notice that his hand reaching for the coffee cup inadvertently touched the keyboard. There was an additional symbol in the middle of the dense source code on the screen. He operated it while drinking coffee, and quickly completed the forwarding steps.

"No problem, boss!

Jack, a software engineer. Wells opened his work bag. There were two identical large-capacity blank USB flash drives on the fixed sleeves in the bag. He hesitated and chose the one on the right.

A machinist from the nearby machinist group seemed to cast a meaningful glance at Jack, the software engineer, intentionally or unintentionally. He had given this USB flash drive to Jack four hours ago. Wells.

This small thing, which is exactly the same as the encrypted USB flash drive specially used within Boeing Company, was quietly delivered to Area 5 thirteen hours ago.

The manufacturer is not any USB flash drive manufacturer in the world, but an old enemy of Boeing Company, and this is not the first time this old enemy has done this.

Jack, a software engineer. Wells seemed to have made a decision. He plugged the USB flash drive directly into his laptop and began to assemble the various functional modules and download "Adam's" intelligent core program.

Ten minutes before dawn, Boeing's "Adam" project team finally completed the work at hand. All functional modules, including the "Adam" intelligent core, were integrated into Jack. Wells has this USB flash drive that is specially designed for Boeing’s internal use.

The function of this USB flash drive is not just as simple as data storage and encryption, there is also a small program hidden in it.

No one noticed that after the program was officially fully imported, an inexplicable code was automatically loaded into the intelligent core and all functional modules of "Adam".

Apparently some people were reluctant to let Boeing's flight demonstration go too smoothly.

Until four f-a-xx were imported to complete the system upgrade, no one noticed any abnormalities in the "Adam" intelligent unmanned combat system that had been added with materials. As usual, each functional module acted normally and even became more agile.

"Sure enough, it is an n-level authority. 'Adam, baby, you are so much smarter than before."

Jeffrey. Professor Hatch was very pleased with this.
