Military Technology

"Thank you for helping us clear the siege." Zhang Jun said to the young man next to him.

"You're welcome, President Yuan also expected this, so let me come over quickly. Let me introduce myself, my name is He Jun." He Jun reached out to the two of them.

"Wu Hao, Zhang Jun!" The two of them shook hands with the well-received He Jun in turn, and they were also full of goodwill towards Mr. Yuan who had not yet met.

"By the way, the Yuan always we want to meet..." Wu Hao said curiously.

"Yuan is always the deputy general manager of Cainiao Technology, a subsidiary of Alibaba. He is also the person in charge of the drone project. This time..." He Jun introduced to the two of them.

With He Jun's continuous introduction, Wu Hao also roughly knew what happened. Cainiao Technology also participated in this exhibition, so this President Yuan will follow his big boss.

Originally, it was just to accompany the boss as an entourage, but Wu Hao and their presentations surprised him. So after the demonstration, he asked He Jun to come and pick them up so eagerly.

He Jun took the two to a teahouse not far from the convention and exhibition center, and walked into the private room. A middle-aged man in his forties wearing a white shirt immediately stood up and said enthusiastically to the two: "Come on, Hurry up, this is the new Mingqian Longjing this year, I just brewed it, try it."

Greeting the two of them to sit down, Mr. Yuan poured them a cup of tea and then said enthusiastically: "Introduction, my dear Yuan Siming. The drone demonstration of the two just now really surprised me, so I can't wait. I want to meet the two of you.

On the one hand, as a technician, I also have some experience in drone technology. It is rare to meet a bosom friend today, so naturally I want to have a good exchange and discussion.

On the other hand, I am very optimistic about your technology and hope to have more cooperation with you. "

Seeing that the two were somewhat restrained, Yuan Siming nodded slightly. Decided to start from the technical aspect and let the two relax: "This is the case, I don't quite understand, how did you manage to allow a hundred drones to perform high-density cluster array flight control in such a small space of.

You must know that such a dense cluster, in such a small space, may collapse completely with few carelessness. "

Hearing Yuan Siming's question, Wu Hao shook his head with a smile: "Actually, there is not much difference in principle from those drone swarm technologies on the market, but we use different ideas in the algorithm. Let the entire flight control system The algorithm is more precise, concise and fast.

These three points seem simple, but they are actually complex, and they are also interrelated and closely related. In order to achieve these three points, we have also experienced countless failures. "

"Indeed, for those of us who do technology, the simpler things seem to be, the more complicated they are. I also do technology in this area, and naturally I know the difficulty of the three points you mentioned in practice.

So let's talk about how you can achieve high-precision spatial positioning between aircraft groups in such a small space. "

Speaking of this, Yuan Siming said a little apologetically: "Sorry, I'm too interested. If it involves any core technology, you don't have to say it."

Wu Hao shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter, as you said, the simpler things seem, the more complex they are. Although our technology is not as rare, it will not be easily imitated.

In fact, anyone who has used Beidou or GPS knows that the more navigation satellites there are in the sky, the more accurate the positioning will be.

Similarly, for our clustering technology, the more coordinate points, the more accurate the spatial position points that are located.

However, in the fixed site demonstration, the coordinate base points we can arrange are very limited, which is not conducive to the precise positioning in the spatial position.

So can we go the other way and use these drones to de-locate these coordinate base points, or that these drones are originally coordinate base points.

Using these coordinate base points to locate each other,

Then we will get an accurate spatial coordinate point.

Similarly, the more drones there are, the more coordinate base points that can be used for positioning. This is what I mean by breaking the number limit and scaling the entire cluster array to N. "

"But such a huge coordinate system will inevitably generate large-scale data operations. How do you achieve fast and accurate two points. I watched your cluster flight control demonstration, and the whole process was very smooth. It's exactly as you said. , Are these drones themselves the carriers of computing?" Yuan Siming immediately raised new questions after listening to his explanation.

Wu Hao smiled and picked up the tea cup and took a sip to moisten his throat: "Yes, the key is the algorithm. Because of the size of these drones, the load they can carry is very small.

How to realize massive information operation under the limited hardware level involves the in-depth optimization of the algorithm. "

Hearing his answer, Yuan Siming couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart any longer, and said excitedly at Wu Hao: "Wu Hao, come to our company. Bring your technology, and I promise to give you a satisfactory price. .

As long as you and your partner come, everything can be discussed. I can even let you form a team independently and let you play freely.

In terms of conditions and resources, you can rest assured that we have enough strength to meet everything you need.

You can also rest assured in life, the house and car are not a problem, and the annual salary of one million is not a problem.

But compared to these, I think you need a good platform to realize your ambitions. "

Hearing Yuan Siming's words, Wu Hao and Zhang Jun looked at each other, then smiled slightly, and said, "Sorry Mr. Yuan, we have our own goals, thank you for your kindness."

Seeing his refusal, Yuan Siming couldn't help feeling a little frustrated. I stared at him for a while, then shook his head at him and said, "Yes, you really won't be willing to be submissive to a genius like you. I was just too excited, and I am eager for love, please forgive me."

Wu Hao shook his head and smiled lightly: "I can understand, thank you for your care."

Yuan Siming waved his hand, and then said to him sternly: "I am very interested in your technology. I wonder if you have registered a patent in this area?"

Of course, in addition to the core code, there are a total of sixteen items. According to the latest revision of the Patent Law, the relevant patent license should be obtained soon [Note 1].

That's it. Yuan Siming nodded, and then said to him: "I am very interested in your technology, so whether you are willing to sell this technology, the price is easy to say."

[Note 1: Regarding the issue of patent application, it is not that I am unaware of the relevant legal provisions in this regard. However, in order to speed up the rhythm of the plot, the patent application review and publicity period is shortened, and the patent protection period remains unchanged.

Among them, the application review and publicity period for invention patents has been shortened from the actual two to three years to six months. Utility patents and shape design patents are shortened to three months.

In fact, I think the actual patent application review time should also be shortened. After all, the environment in which this law was enacted was very different from the current one.

In the past, messages could only be delivered in the form of fax and mail, which was slow and inefficient, so it took a long time.

Now the Internet communication technology is developed after all, and information acquisition and exchange are convenient after all. Therefore, the time for application review should be shortened, which is conducive to the incubation of patents. 】
