"Why did it choose this route instead of the closer route?" Luo Kai, who had rarely spoken, took the initiative to ask at this time.

"Because it's the best route." Wu Hao replied with a smile.

Luo Kai heard his answer and asked, "The best route?" ”

Wu Hao nodded, then pointed to the big screen and said, "You see, the drone cluster has a total of six flight paths, some of which are the shortest and some of which are the longest.

The one chosen by the drone swarm is not the shortest of these schemes, but this one has many twists and turns.

A closer look at the topographic map shows that the two shortest routes fly along the valley, which is really good, and they can avoid radar detection.

But have you noticed, the valley through which these two routes pass has several sharp bends of less than 90°C in succession. If the huge fleet passes through these sharp bends, it can easily cause a large number of drones to crash, so it abandoned this nearest route for safety reasons.

As for the farthest one, there is no doubt that the route is too far. ”

After hearing Wu Hao's words, everyone looked at the big screen and nodded. Indeed, compared to other routes, the flight route chosen by the cluster is the most suitable.

"Wait a minute, how come so many drones have crashed." Just when everyone was discussing, Yang Xuehai suddenly shouted at this time.

When everyone heard this, they looked over, and saw that there were more red dots on the trajectory line of the drone cluster flying on the screen, which meant that the drone had fallen. If it becomes a black dot, it means that the drone has crashed and lost contact, and the black dot is the positioning point where the system finally receives the signal.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongzhe frowned and asked, "Is there anything you found in the high-altitude drone reconnaissance image?" ”

"Nothing special has been found at the moment." A technician reported.

Wu Hao looked at the screen, and then raised his voice: "Turn up the video recorded by the drone with a camera at the front of the group." ”

"It is reported that the low 021,078 drone is at the front of the group, and the video image has been transmitted to the big screen."

At the same time, a surveillance video image of the two drones from the perspective of the large TV screen immediately appeared.

Seeing this, everyone also stared at the big screen, but they didn't find anything unusual for a while.

Zhao Hongzhe opened his mouth and asked, "Did you find anything abnormal at the observation points along the way?" ”

"The report shows that the drone passed through the valley area and was out of view of most observation points. Only a few observation points can still track the flight status of the drone swarm, but the distance is too far away, and no anomalies have been found for the time being. ”

"The number of falling drones is still increasing, and there are currently more than a hundred." Gao Feihang stared at the data on the screen and reported anxiously.

"Xiao Wu, is there something wrong with the cluster autonomous control system?" Yang Xuehai said worriedly at him.

Wu Hao was also a little bottomless when he heard this, but turned his head to look at Yang Fan, who had been staring at the data on the other side.

Yang Fan shook his head slightly at him, indicating that there was no abnormality found on the system control program for the time being.

So what's the problem?

Wu Hao stared at the video image on the big screen and thought about it, he really hadn't encountered a crash for no reason.

"Old Zhao, if it doesn't work, just stop, we have achieved great success, there is no need to take this risk again." Yang Xuehai suggested to Zhao Hongzhe at this time.

Hearing Professor Yang's words, everyone suddenly focused their eyes on Zhao Hongzhe.

At this time, Luo Kai on the side also spoke: "I think what Elder Yang said is right, let's stop for the time being." Wait until we find a problem and solve it before we test it, and it's not bad for this time anyway. ”

Zhao Hongzhe hesitated a little after hearing the words of the two, he looked at Wu Hao, who was still thinking on the side, and asked, "Xiao Wu, what do you think?" ”

Hearing Zhao Hongzhe's words, everyone turned their eyes on him again. It's just that Wu Hao is still immersed in his own thoughts.

"Xiao Wu?"

"Huh?" Wu Hao was awakened and said, "What's wrong?" ”

"What are you thinking?" Zhao Hongzhe inquired at him.

Wu Hao felt everyone's eyes focused on him, then shook his head with a smile and said, "Perhaps, I already know the reason." ”

Zhao Hongzhe suddenly became interested when he heard his words, and hurriedly asked, "Oh, what's the problem?" ”

"Have you noticed those dense vegetation trees in the valley?" Wu Hao replied with a smile.

"You mean?" Zhao Hongzhe's eyes lit up, and he reacted suddenly.

Wu Hao nodded and said, "This is not a problem with our system programs and drones at all, but the data is not accurate."

The data we obtain, especially the topographic data, is based on mountain topographic mapping records, with little attention paid to these tall and dense trees.

Therefore, I analyzed that our falling drones were most likely blocked by these tall trees and vegetation, which caused the fall failure. ”

"Yes, it must be for this reason. The topographic and geomorphological data we have come from the database that was previously collected and mapped, and we did not map it in real time.

During this time, there may be a tall tree, or an additional building, power lines, or a landslide or other obstacle in these mountains. This can lead to a mismatch between the data and reality, which can lead to the crash of the drone. ”

Hearing Wu Hao's explanation, Yang Xuehai looked excited and agreed very much.

Luo Kai heard the introduction of the two, and said with a little disappointment: "In this way, our technology needs to be optimized and improved." ”

Seeing this, Wu Hao smiled and comforted: "In fact, it is not as complicated as everyone thinks, and we can't encounter this situation under normal circumstances."

What we tested today was nothing more than a set limit environment.

It's easy to solve this problem, and I already have two solutions here. First, the UAV and the existing system technology do not need to be moved, and only the latest topographic and geomorphological mapping data need to be imported to solve this problem.

The second is to upgrade the UAV hardware and system software. The drone can be equipped with detection radar, distance sensors or other detection equipment.

In this way, the surrounding stereotyped ground information can be detected in real time when the aircraft is flying, which can not only avoid these obstacles, but also accurately search for detection and attack target locations. ”

Zhao Hongzhe nodded and smiled: "Xiao Wu is right, it is indeed not as complicated as you think." Our drones do lack these sensors, which is why they cause problems in such unfamiliar areas. ”

"I'm more optimistic about the second option than the first option. In this way, our UAV swarm can perform tasks in unfamiliar areas at any time, greatly increasing its use environment and range, and also increasing its power. Yang Xuehai nodded, looked at Wu Hao on the side and said with a smile on his face.
