Chapter 238 All-digital battlefield simulation platform

.

August 1, 2002, Army Day.

The main military leaders of each military region received a notice a month ago, asking them to leave their deputy to serve as strategic duty. All the other military chiefs came to Beijing to observe the first three-army joint exercise in our army in a fully simulated environment.

More than a dozen generals, lieutenant generals, and dozens of major generals were keenly discovered that the Ministry of Defense's pick-up convoy sent them directly to the underground strategic command center, rather than the Ministry of Defense's ground command center, nor the Northern Military Region's command center. This unusual move made them all pay more attention to the exercise. As senior commanders, they did not gather together to discuss, but the expressions on their faces became obviously solemn.

Because usually, such small-scale and small-scale exercises are held at the Northern Military Region Command, which is a landlord. It is amazing to be carried out at the General Staff or the Ministry of National Defense strategic command post. In this way, all the military chiefs who observe the exercises are sent to the underground command center where a full-scale war broke out. This is the first time.

In fact, a week before this, the Military Commission and the Ministry of National Defense held an emergency transfer of the command center. The exercise subject was to urgently transfer the command center to the underground headquarters under the conditions of a full-scale war, and take over the resilience of the national military force.

The underground command is not as simple as a pit, but a super-large underground building complex with a crisscrossing area of ​​dozens of square kilometers.

All channels and houses have undergone reinforcement measures and can directly face two nuclear bomb attacks. In an emergency, it can accommodate the main military and political organs of the capital, tens of thousands of troops, and nearly one million ordinary citizens.

Because we need to consider the issue of shock-proof strength, the floor area of ​​each room is not very large, and there is a one-meter-thick concrete wall between the rooms. Every five hundred meters, there is a lead door weighing ten tons. If some houses are attacked by nuclear power, the lead door can be lowered and the command will continue to be preserved and the command will not be completely destroyed.

All the military leaders who came to observe were sitting in the exercise command center, that is, the National Armed Forces Command Center when the war broke out.

This is also the largest building in the underground command center, with an area of ​​more than 300 square meters.

More than a hundred senior military chiefs did not have comfortable sofas, and they sat upright on rows of simple plastic seats, holding their knees with their hands, not squinting their eyes, maintaining the most rigorous military posture. In front of them were rows of all-metal tables and chairs, with computers placed on them, and hundreds of staff officers were in their respective positions, making the final preparations before the exercise.

On the wall directly in front, there is a screen the size of a front wall embedded. The screen uses a flexible LCD screen provided by Universal. When the underground command center faces saturation bombing and violent vibration on the ground, it still ensures that the screen will not be cracked and damaged.

The walls on both sides are also hung with flexible LCD screens. However, the size is much smaller, which is used to view auxiliary materials and keep in touch with military regions and field troops.

Hundreds of people gathered in this command center, but they were all silent, and they could not even hear the sound of tables and chairs moving.

Only in the outer passage, there were ticking sounds of communication officers testing radio stations in the communication room dozens of meters away, and calls from various military regions and field troops.

Although the exercise has not yet begun, the tense atmosphere of war has filled the entire command center.

In the observation area, there were stars shining. A young man in a dark suit was sitting. Judging from his age, he was about thirty years old, but he sat next to these generals.

The military commanders of the Northeast Military Region, Northwest Military Region and other countries were all people who had participated in several exercises of the Military Commission and had met this young man. Although everyone was still calm, they nodded slightly to him and greeted him silently.

This young man is Xiao Qiang.

The name of his place is known to everyone in the military. The commander of the Southwest Military Region still regretfully tells others that it was the biggest mistake that it was not allowed to pull Xiao Qiang into the Southwest Military Region.

Whenever he talks about this, other people nodded repeatedly, saying that if a soldier's child under him had such a promising prospect, even if he was a deadly man, he would pull him in. How could he let him go?

Speaking of which, there are not many military products that Universal Company has participated in the development, most of which are technical support.

The only one who can really make a move is digital individual equipment.

However, as a military group that transforms from the mainland army to sea, land and air, the Chinese army has a large market for winning. Especially when its own naval and air strength is limited, the army is the greatest pride of Chinese soldiers.

Therefore, major military leaders are very proud of the digital individual equipment that improves the combat effectiveness of the army. In addition, some of the achievements of military-industrial enterprises are also attributed to the selfless technical support provided by Universal Corporation. High-tech instruments, supercomputers, have been circulated to be magical, which has made Xiao Qiang bear a reputation that exceeds his own contribution.

The military officials of these major military regions also know that this upcoming full-digital simulation exercise can only be achieved through the digital simulation battlefield technology developed by Universal Company.

A year and a half, Universal Company delivered a large number of simulation training equipment to the military as promised, including twelve sets of flight simulators, three sets of ship simulators, forty sets of tank simulators, eight sets of armed helicopter simulators, two sets of air-ground air-to-air missile simulators, etc., which comprehensively improved the quality of military training.

Especially in the relatively closed space training flight simulator, its realistic environment and nearly practical training effects have made all the air force pilots who have received training praise it.

The entire army has more than 200 future J-10 pilots and have undergone simulated flight training.

The pilot himself is the elite of the military who is one in a hundred. He changed from other aircraft models to the J-10, which means he is familiar with the adaptation process. Through a large number of flights, he masters the flight characteristics of the J-10 to achieve the unity of man-machine.

According to the previous training methods, they had to fly on a special J-10 two-seat trainer plane for hundreds of hours before they could gradually adapt. Then they would fly solo and increase training difficulty. It may take several months or even a year to train a qualified J-10 pilot.

This is just a preliminary general flight and driving ability. To master air combat skills, long-term training is required.

This is nothing. Due to the difference between training and actual combat, some pilots may not be able to find out the secrets of real air combat until they retire. Many pilots may not be able to perform at their usual training level when facing the ever-changing real air combat.

Therefore, it is never possible to train an ace pilot in training.

But the flight simulator launched by Universal has completely changed this situation.

The cockpit is exactly the same as a real aircraft. The airflow brings ground vibrations during flight, the debris impact formed by the opponent's missile detonation at close range, as well as the hypoxic environment at high altitudes, and the overload pressure at high speed flight are all so realistic.

Even though every pilot entering the training cabin kept saying, "This is just a simulation training aircraft."

During training, they didn't feel that they were simulating training at all. The nearly completed flight simulation allowed them to devote themselves to the intense training subjects. When the training was completed, they would show a dream-losing expression when they came out of the cockpit.

The pilots participating in the training have been shot down by instructors who acted as enemies more than once.

But when they finished training, the pilots talked more about the plane's bumpy fuselage under the shock wave and the fear brought by the continuous circling and falling. Actual tests showed that when these pilots faced danger, their heartbeats reached 200 times per minute. The concentration level was equivalent to the reaction in actual combat.

Each pilot has three hours of flight training time a day, allowing them to see all the air situations: thunderstorms, clouds, night flight, seaflight, escape from pursuit, fire, partial instrument failure, engine air shutdown, stall tail rotation, emergency landing, and other practical flight training that cannot be exposed to extreme conditions.

High-intensity, super-difficulty simulation of flight training, and flying improves the pilot's driving level.

In the first week, under the attack of the instructor's superb driving skills, more than 90% of the students had no way to escape. But after four weeks, this ratio dropped sharply to 50%.

After three months of training, the pilots who were able to fight one-on-one with the instructors reached more than 60%!

As for the coordinated attack of two machines, the instructor will be shot down 100%, without any suspense!

This number is terrible!

This means that 60% of the pilots participating in the training have reached a level comparable to the instructors after facing various ultra-extreme simulation training!

After being exposed to the fighter jets assigned to them, these pilots who have been trained successfully achieved a level of integration with the fighter jets through just a few take-offs and landings. Twenty percent of top pilots can perform difficult actions such as cobra maneuvering, stalling tail spin during the first actual flight.

According to what these pilots said after getting off the plane, flying a real plane is no different from flying a simulator during their training.

From simulators to changing real aircraft, for them, that's a piece of cake!

If we can stand out from the tens of thousands of pilots in the army and become the pilots of the J-10, they will become the elite among the elites. Then pilots who have undergone simulated flight training can be called the ace among the elites.

Among the more than 200 pilots who have completed training, the number of pilots with outstanding performance is as high as more than 100. Most pilots can actually get rid of missiles' close-range attacks, and have been confirmed by actual tests!

Although these people have not participated in actual combat, in terms of level, they are already the trump cards among the trump cards.

If a war breaks out immediately, these more than 200 ace pilots can burst out with amazing combat power.

The first batch of pilots trained to achieve such shocking results made the Air Force ecstatic. They wrote five applications to the Military Commission within one day, hoping to order more than a thousand sets of flight simulators from Universal Company, including transport aircraft, bombers, early warning aircraft, and helicopters!

The Air Force even made a decision at a routine meeting that once the flight simulator is implemented, it will be included in the official training subject. Each pilot will be grounded if he does not simulate flight training time in a month or 500 hours.

Since then, four consecutive batches of pilots who were preparing to receive J-10 came to the training base in the suburbs of Beijing. Each batch has three hours of replacement, and the number of people and aircraft has been replaced. It has been utilised for 24 hours a day, using every second in place, exerting the maximum effectiveness of simulated flight equipment.

Flight simulator. Become a coveted ace in the hands of the Air Force.

The great achievements made by the Air Force have made the Navy very enthusiastic.

my country's first generation stealth frigate training equipment customized for them was just completed and passed the acceptance inspection, and they hurriedly dispatched all sailors to go on the ship to train.

The entire training ship is wrapped in a semicircular LCD display cover. All LCD screens are attached to a layer of specially made high-transparent bulletproof glass. There is no need to worry about damage to the screen.

The lower layer of the training ship is soaked in the same high concentration of salt water as sea water.

When sailors boarded the ship for training, the semicircular LCD screen cover, the simulated image and the training ship, and the salt water pool perfectly merged together. With the simulated sea storm, the training ship will also roll and lift the bow, which is no different from the real situation.

When the wind and waves are too strong, salt water will form waves, slapping on the side of the ship, soaking the sailors soaked.

The angle of the overturning was so strong that he once knocked an absent-minded sailor down the side of the ship and fell into the salt water pool that simulated the sea water, choking several mouthfuls of "sea water".

During the simulated naval battle, there were explosion spots on the ship to form raging flames, trying their best to create a practical atmosphere.

If it is not true enough, everyone is equipped with an extremely thin head hood. The head hood only reaches the lips and does not affect their speech. However, the ears are sealed in a semicircular ear cup, which basically isolates the incoming of external sounds. The simulated sound of waves, the sound of near-defense gun fire, the sound of missile launching, and then mixed with human voices, and broadcast it through the headphones.

The eye position is also a semicircular eye mask, with a flexible LCD screen as thin as paper, forming a nearly real vision environment.

Through the sense of smell of images, sounds, training ship shaking, salt water slapping, and the release of gunpowder, the soldiers are as if they are in a real naval battle.

The Navy is very satisfied with the training ships provided by Universal Corporation.

It’s a pity that the training ship is too large and the manufacturing is complicated. More importantly, according to Xiao Qiang, a training ship needs to occupy many sets of supercomputers. Therefore, the military slowed down the construction speed of the training ship in order to give priority to meeting the requirements of the Air Force flight trainer.

Up to now, the Navy has received only a stealth frigate trainer and a 052-c missile destroyer trainer.

The two training ships often conduct collaborative combat training together, and supercomputer-simulated US military, Japanese fleet combat, air defense training, etc.

As for the enemy ships faced by training, they are data collected by the navy, virtual ships. Naval operators who play the role of the Blue Army, sit in front of the computer, operate these virtual fleets and fight against training ships like playing computer games.

Of course, this kind of virtual enemy ship needs as much as possible, it is nothing more than data.

The main training content of the training ship is actually to train sailors to run in the war, whether they are proficient in operation, sea air defense and submarine defense, and close-defense artillery destroy the enemy's missile attack. Their battles with virtual enemy ships are also dozens of nautical miles apart. "air-to-air" combat does not require a special batch of "enemy" ships.

At the most, the two training ships once teamed up to face a fleet of aircraft carriers of the US military and launched a raid.

However, because the strength of the enemy and us is too different, the two

The ship used all his strength to use the C-803 anti-ship missile to fill the cruiser, seriously injuring two opponent's destroyers, but he was unable to break into the enemy aircraft carrier defense circle. Faced with the successive bombing of dozens of enemy aircraft and the intensive attack of anti-ship missiles at sea, the two training ships' air defense missiles shot down and injured several enemy fighter jets. The close-defense artillery destroyed five missiles one after another, and finally they still lost their battle.

However, such a real naval battle simulation greatly improved the training effect of the sailors.

The sailors have accumulated considerable experience in air defense and missile attacks. From the initial panic operation to the later calmness, the results are very obvious.

In the near-shore combat, near-shore combat, ocean combat, sea storm and other long-distance voyages under severe weather conditions... Although the sailors did not really face it, they all had almost real simulations and had truly learned the relevant technologies and tactics of the naval battlefield.

Compared with the Navy's great investment and the high difficulty of the Air Force flight simulator, the technical requirements of the Army's simulator are much simpler.

A simulated tank, armored vehicle, and self-propelled cannon, the driver operates the vehicle through an LCD screen, and the captain wears a semicircular eye mask to observe the enemy situation. It has a sense of reality and does not need to build a costly LCD cover, encircling the trainer, greatly saving costs.

Sixteen high-quality sound playback devices on all sides of the trainer form realistic dynamic sound effects.

Vibration, bumps, roar of diesel engines, strong smell of diesel, smoke, bloody smell, etc., can make the trainees feel like they are on the battlefield.

It would be fine if it was just that, but the key was to build digital analog wars with super-powered performance to form a mesh training platform.

Whether it is bicycle training, squad training, or tank cluster dispatch, in the eyes of the training personnel, they are all in a huge maneuvering cluster. The commander can observe the maneuvering, penetration, etc. of the cluster from all angles. A complete battlefield form.

Through simulation training, the most significant results are commanders at all levels.

In the use of large-scale tanks, our army has not been formed for a long time and lacks practical combat tests. There are problems with rich theoretical knowledge but lack of practical experience for commanders at all levels.

No matter how rich theoretical knowledge is, if you cannot combine it with reality, it is just a matter of paper talk.

After repeated small and medium-sized confrontation exercises, the commanders deeply realized the advantages and weaknesses of tank cluster operations. By converting data and manipulating a general training platform, the Blue Army can quickly play the role of the US m172, t90 Japanese Army's Type 90, British Challenger, and German Leopard 2 major war vehicles in the world.

Although these data are incomplete, some of them come from public channels and may not be very accurate, the trainees have a more intuitive understanding of the main technical performance of each model of foreign military combat vehicles. They play a very important role in how to face different combat vehicles and adopt different tactical methods.

The most common training with tank troops is the armed helicopter troops.

Armed helicopters are known as the nemesis of tanks. They are a military force that the armored forces love and hate.

When armed helicopters strike enemy tanks and armored vehicles, the armored forces will cheer for them. But when they face enemy armed helicopters, they will become the object of hatred by all armored soldiers.

Unlike the fixed-wing aircraft simulator, there is a hydraulic telescopic device below the helicopter aircraft to simulate the ups and downs.

Armed helicopters are relatively simple, and only need to use a full-size large LCD screen. However, it is relatively troublesome to support helicopters on the ground. Because the ground-based helicopters are transparent, they need to imitate and synthesize training. In order to achieve the training effect of the machine gunner, they have to wear a hemispherical eye mask on the machine gunner.

The machine gunner uses a hemispherical LCD screen to watch the changes in the battlefield shape from the hatch door and provide ground support.

Through collaborative exercises with armed helicopters, the tank troops have mastered the coordination gap between the two sides and formed a systematic combat routine. At the same time, through the confrontation between the two sides, the tank troops have also summarized many experiences in the synthesis of air defense tactics.

Through this series of simulated training equipment covering the navy, army and air force, with the support of supercomputers with strong computing power, the military's training results were very outstanding. The troops were tempered in a nearly practical way and greatly improved the combat effectiveness of various military branches.

The core of all this lies in the multi-trillion-time supercomputers of Universal.

Without a supercomputer of tens of trillions of times, such a real battlefield environment would not be achieved.

Our army used to have various simulation training equipment, and foreign army also had more advanced simulation training equipment. However, there is no simulation training machine that can provide such a battlefield effect that is not different from the real environment!

Without a powerful supercomputer, the trainees only see the scene designed by programmers and cannot accurately deal with every small change of the operator. At the same time, the firepower projection effect and the battlefield changes formed cannot be so real. The ballistics, range, impact of climate on weapons, damage caused by strikes, changes to the terrain..., and so on such extremely complex data operations, and even the impact of airflow formed by missiles passing through the helicopter. These are all over the world, and only the tens of trillions of times of the Universal Company can be simulated in the Pangu world!

It can be said that without Universal Company and without Xiao Qiang's creation of Universal Company, there would be no possibility of this battlefield simulation platform being released.

At least, it is absolutely impossible to become a reality within ten to twenty years!

The appearance of Xiao Qiang has made China's military strength leap. It can be compared with a real battlefield simulation platform, allowing various military branches to fight in the super-realistic Pangu world, truly twisting each military branch that can only be trained separately into a rope, and learning war in war!

Especially the emergence of a large number of ace pilots has given China's sky a reliable defender.

One plus one, greater than two!

Therefore, it is not surprising that Xiao Qiang appeared at the scene of our army's first fully digital simulation confrontation exercise. They all believed that Xiao Qiang appeared here to verify the reliability of the battlefield simulation platform.

However, they did not know that the real purpose of the military organizing this exercise was not just to verify the effect of the battlefield simulation platform in the multi-service synthesis exercise.

What the defenders of the Republic want to verify is to verify our strategic self-defense capabilities through the all-digital battlefield simulation platform, with nearly real simulation effects and accurate massive data computing capabilities!

"stand up!"

An officer on duty at the door whispered a loud order.

Wow, after a uniform sound, hundreds of generals and staff officers from the command center stood up and stood attentively.
Chapter completed!
