Genius is just the threshold for me!

The two returned to their residential compound. Lin Dong said goodbye to Xu Qingling downstairs, went home for dinner, rested for a while, and then went into the study to log into Wang Xingguo's email.

Ding-dong—

A brand new email popped up in Wang Xingguo's inbox.

[Chengfei Engineer Cai]: Engineer Wang, please check the latest wave flutter data for the delta wing, and also the buffeting data for the twin vertical tails at high angles of attack...

Lin Dong moved the mouse and clicked on the first attachment of the email. Instantly, a large amount of data popped up on the screen.

"This wave oscillation data is a bit alarming."

Lin Dong glanced at the relevant data and frowned slightly: "No wonder there wasn't a single supersonic large bomber in the world before the H-20 that used a delta wing configuration... The requirements for flight control are too high."

Wing vibration is a problem that all aircraft must face when designing wings and programming flight control systems.

However, if the aircraft adopts a delta wing, changing from the conventional two wings to a large triangle composed of two triangular surfaces, the up-and-down vibration effect will be even more terrifying, and the entire aircraft will vibrate.

The larger the aircraft, the greater the tremor effect.

To put it another way, metaphorically speaking...

That is, when flying, the wings will vibrate in a wave-like shape, and this wave-like vibration will affect the aerodynamic stability of the entire fuselage, and may even lead to the loss of control of the aircraft.

At the same time, because it is a huge wing surface, the entire wing's stress surface is much larger, and the wing's design strength must be more demanding.

"A blended wing-body box-type reinforced structure, enhanced active damping technology, and a passive damping design..."

Lin Dong recalled the papers he had reviewed in this area, and solutions quickly came to mind.

Blended wing-body refers to the fusion of the wing and fuselage into one unit, rather than the conventional two-sided separate structure.

In this way, the entire wing can be designed into a huge load-bearing box structure through multiple wing spars and ribs that run through the wingspan, ensuring the strength of the entire fuselage and wing.

Active damping technology involves deploying numerous sensors on the wings to collect vibration data. The flight control system then uses this data to continuously adjust the ailerons to generate a reverse aerodynamic torque, thus actively counteracting the vibration.

According to data released by the US, the B-2 Spirit bomber, which adopts a flying wing configuration, has its flight control system collect nearly a thousand data points per second and make nearly a thousand adjustments to ensure the stability of the entire flying wing configuration.

As for passive damping design, it involves adding a damping layer inside the wing to absorb vibrations and reduce the intensity of flutter...

"With the rapid advancement of electronic control technology in the 21st century, active damping technology can now meet the requirements. As for passive damping layers, since they encroach on the fuel space inside the wing, the current philosophy is to discard them if possible..."

Lin Dong looked at the data and thought for two minutes. Then he created a new document and quickly entered the paper numbers and the core parameters and directions.

For him, flight control design and aerodynamic design are his strengths. The design of delta wing and flight control is not a problem as long as sufficient test data is provided.

"At this pace, after six more tests, we can then create a scaled-down model and send it to the wind tunnel for testing. The progress is quite fast."

"At that time, high-strength titanium alloy will be used for load-bearing parts such as wing spars, while carbon fiber composite materials will be used for other parts. Fortunately, China has already made breakthroughs in carbon fiber technology."

In addition, carbon fiber itself also has a certain wave-absorbing effect, which can further reduce the RCS of the Red Ghost...

Lin Dong pondered the next design steps, then opened the data in the second attachment, where a large amount of test data on double-tailed fluttering popped up.

Twin tail flutter refers to the vibration caused by the repeated impact of vortices generated by the nose of an aircraft during high angle of attack, which create intense turbulence.

This vibration can cause the vertical tail to lose directional control, increasing the risk of loss of control during high angle-of-attack flight.

"This is simple... Just adjust the aerodynamic micro-design of the nose to disrupt the vortex, so that the turbulence generated by the vortex breaking is brought forward or deviated from the vertical tail."

Adding another set of piezoelectric sensors to detect vibrations, which, together with the flight control system, can counteract the vibrations...

Lin Dong glanced at it, thought for a few seconds, quickly entered six paper numbers, gave some directions, and sent the email.

This vertical tail problem is quite simple.

If it's the Hot Air model, he can directly provide the specific parameters of the wind tunnel model. Once the wing design is finalized, they can build the model together and send it to the wind tunnel for testing.

However, doing it this way would ruin the research and thinking abilities of Engineer Cai and his entire team. According to our usual practice, we should still give them papers and directions, and let them find the next experimental data and determine the aerodynamic micro-design of the entire nose cone themselves.

"Yeah, I feel like being the chief engineer and personally pushing forward the project is like being a mentor."

"Next, I will be responsible for learning and verification testing. Then I will guide and provide further learning directions and papers, and so on..."

Lin Dong inquired about Wang Xingguo's standby status, replied to the email, and couldn't help but shake his head.

Although the team at Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group has made great progress after several projects, he no longer needs to personally intervene in many system modules.

For example, electronic stealth, power supply system, heat dissipation and cooling, laser interception and wingman coordination can be directly disassembled and handed over to Engineer Xia, Engineer Huang, Comrade Lin Weiliang and others, as well as their teams.

His job is simply to oversee the overall progress, ensure that the schedule is not behind schedule, that the design direction does not deviate from the overall plan, and to offer guidance on any problems that cannot be solved.

However, some of the most critical challenges, such as the electromagnetic compatibility of the J-16D, the core design of the electronic pod, and the wing aerodynamics and flight control design of the Red Ghost bomber, remain unresolved.

These are problems that the team below cannot fully handle, and they cannot be solved in a short time. Only he can push them forward personally.

With his personal involvement, the whole thing turned into a technical instruction session and a thesis writing class...

"Browse the database and learn every day." After dealing with the wing aerodynamics issue, Lin Dong checked Wang Xingguo's email and then resolved a few minor problems.

I opened the internal database provided by my supervisor and began to study and review the latest industry reports and industry development data.

"The new energy industry is still developing at a rapid pace..."

Lin Dong took a look at the reports on the new energy industry.

Suddenly, a brand-new "Robotics Industry Development Report" and a "AI Large Model Industry Development Report" came into his view.

"Hmm? The report data for October..."

"Capital investment in the two industries increased by 4784% and 6234% in a single month, reaching 280 billion and 360 billion respectively... Wow, this is insane!"

"My uncle's Xingdong Company started small-batch production of AI chips using tensor cores at the end of September. Coupled with the series of large-scale artificial intelligence model papers published by my father in recent years, the robotics and artificial intelligence industries are starting to explode..."

Lin Dong took a breath, and a thought popped into his mind: Comrade Lin Weiliang's net worth is about to skyrocket by another hundred billion.

"son……"

At this moment, Lin Weiliang came in from the side with a notebook, wanting to ask a question.

But when he saw the interface in front of Lin Dong, he noticed the terrifying growth figures in the two reports, as well as the almost 90-degree steep curve. He paused for a moment, pulled up a chair and sat down, looking at the reports on the screen with some concern.

"Xiao Dong, Xingdong Company's AI chips have started mass production. With capital pouring into the robotics and AI industries like this, what will happen to ordinary people once these two industries are fully developed and mature?"

He is known as the "King of AI" and the "King of Machines," a title often jokingly referred to as such.

Lin Weiliang is well aware that as AI continues to develop, the technology becomes more mature, and the cost becomes lower, it will soon eliminate 80% of low-mental-labor jobs.

As robots further develop, their functions increase and their costs decrease, they will gradually eliminate 90% of manual labor.

Even before AI chips became mainstream, Xingdong Company launched a robotic dog, and people in scenic spots like Mount Tai used the robotic dog to carry heavy loads.

At that time, the working and living space of more than 70% or even more than 80% of ordinary people in the whole society will be squeezed out by AI and robots.

"Dad, that's bull-and-horse thinking, producer thinking. But besides being a producer, a human being can also be a consumer."

Lin Dong was taken aback by these words, then laughed and said, "What people lack is never jobs, but income. Look at those landlords who don't have jobs, do they worry about where they'll go?"

Lin Weiliang's problem stems from his past life when he was killed by AI and was also confused when he was unemployed.

But after Xu Qingling's guidance, he suddenly realized that what he lacked was not a job, but income, and the confidence that comes with sufficient wealth.

Once he has enough wealth to support himself, he is not worried about where he will go, and he will even have time to start fishing like Xu Ziming.

"That's obvious!"

Lin Weiliang said irritably, "Of all the ordinary people in the world, how many are landlords, and how many have assets that generate income for themselves..."

"In the short term, robots and AI will take away value, but in the long term, humans themselves are an asset that can continuously bring value."

Lin Dong smiled and said, "If it really comes to the point you mentioned, Dad, then in addition to physical and mental production, each person's unique personality, unique thoughts, and personal data models will all have immense value."

In addition, society, the state, and land value also provide a portion of their guaranteed income to support their livelihoods.

talking.

Lin Dong pulled out a copy of last month's "Rural Photovoltaic Energy Storage Industry Plan" report and pointed to its contents as he spoke to Lin Weiliang.

"Special funds, professional state-owned enterprises, free construction, and rural collectives only need to provide a piece of land to receive a stable rental income."

"New energy, AI, and robotics all require substantial electricity support, and local governments also need to absorb photovoltaic production capacity. This plan achieves three goals at once."

Lin Weiliang carefully examined the report's contents and data, pondered for a moment, and said, "Will the revenue generated by this plan be enough to live on? What about the city's population?"

"I don't know if it's enough to live on. Everyone's living standards are different. As for the urban population, it's not yet at the point where AI will completely take over. When it does, there will definitely be corresponding plans."

For example, we can establish a system of guaranteed minimum income for everyone, set a standard, and ensure that everyone has an income.

There is also income from personal digital property rights. In the future, everyone's behavioral data models, thoughts, and personality will be valuable materials for AI training.

Companies must pay to use this personal data, but this is unlikely in the early stages. However, it will undoubtedly be necessary to promote this once the AI ​​industry develops.

There's also revenue from human services. Just like robot services are rare and command high premiums now, human services will also be rare and command high premiums in the future, and most wealthy people like to show off their status...

At this point, Lin Dong looked at Lin Weiliang seriously and said, "Dad, we do scientific research and technology, but in practice, theory is decades or even centuries ahead of technology."

The same applies to society; human reasoning and deduction always precede reality by decades or even centuries.

The issues you are worried about and have thought about have already been anticipated and planned for at the top level.

The only problem is that, just like in our technological research and development, various material and engineering issues prevent theories and technologies from being practically implemented.

These projections and plans, too, may not perfectly materialize due to various real-world interests and human nature issues.

But no matter what, if AI and robots continue to develop, they will ultimately only go in two directions.

One is a cyberpunk world across the Pacific, with AI and robots, where big capital controls everything, and the lower levels are transformed into materials and Gundams.

One aspect is our socialization, which uses a guaranteed minimum income plus personal digital property rights to ensure a stable income and lifestyle.

If you are willing to work hard to learn and become skilled, knowledgeable, and creative, so that you can't be replaced by AI or robots, then your income will be higher and your life will be better.

These two trends are determined by the differences in our top-level ideologies and the fundamental cultural differences at the grassroots level.

There will definitely be a period of confusion and painful transition in the first ten or even fifteen years, but overall things will move in a positive direction.

Because if things don't improve or move towards a better future, the people of this land can't survive, so they will naturally help change direction...

"this……"

After listening, Lin Weiliang thought for a moment and shook his head, saying, "Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. This is something for you to grow up, for your next generation, and even for the generation after that."

In any case, our current situation is a dead end if we don't move forward. We need to resolve the present before we can prepare for the future.

talking.

Lin Weiliang placed his notebook on the table and gestured for Lin Dong to come over: "Take a look at this. The War Skull System is having a problem with its decision-making."

"Is there a problem with the system's decision-making?"

Lin Dong was taken aback for a moment, then composed himself and walked over with curiosity: "The Battle Skull System, it's all set up and programmed so quickly?"
