American comics: I became a god at the beginning, I chose to practice both science and magic

"Dane, these drones are controlled by a unified intelligent program." She and Dane were in telepathy and knew what he wanted to ask.

Dane's eyes were penetrating. A highly intelligent drone? No wonder it could perform tactical maneuvers that even human pilots wouldn't dare, especially continuous rolling maneuvers, which were simply unbearable for a human.

Judging from the performance of these drones, the sixth-generation fighter technology is basically mature, but the Atlanteans have an overwhelming advantage in human information technology. If they are just ordinary sixth-generation fighters, they will not be able to deal with the sea people at all. Instead, the drones may "turn against each other" on the battlefield, turning it into a tragedy of one's own people fighting against one's own people.

Dane then had an idea: "Cortana, try to control the drone's intelligence."

From a technical point of view, Cortana has surpassed human information technology by more than a generation, so it should be easy for her to do so. However, I don’t know whether to say it is unexpected or not, Cortana was unable to overwrite the fighter’s control program.

"Their intelligence is unique," Cortana said, her curiosity unusual. "It's like... they're alive."

"I think I know the reason." Dane turned his gaze to an inconspicuous fighter jet in the fleet.

It looked no different from other drones, but Dane could see through his magical perspective that there was someone in the fighter plane, and it was someone he knew.

"Hal Jordan."

Among a group of drones, there was a manned fighter jet mixed in, and the pilot was Green Lantern Hal Jordan, but at that time he was not yet a Green Lantern.

Dane saw no trace of the Green Lantern ring on Hal Jordan.

The cockpit he was in now was very different from the cockpits of previous fighter planes. His body was filled with nerve conduction pathways, especially the helmet on his head, which was very large and bulky. Dozens of wires extended from the helmet to the circuit board at the rear of the cabin.

Dane took a quick look and roughly understood what it was.

This is a complete intelligent control system. Like a honeycomb structure, the drones are controlled by the hive consciousness to form combat formations.

They learned the lesson from the Atlanteans and did not dare to use pure computer programming to control the drone fighter fleet, so they took a different approach and adopted a deep human-computer interaction mode.

A mother body is set up as the main consciousness subject of the hive system, and other drones are the executive daughter bodies of the mother body's consciousness, which are directly controlled by the mother body. Hal Jordan is that mother body, the "queen bee" of the hive.

Unless the Atlanteans can directly control Hal Jordan's consciousness, general information technology can only reach the program level and cannot break through his brain and rewrite all the control programs of the hive.

"What a genius idea." Dane said in surprise.

However, in this case, the mother body will have to bear great mental pressure. After all, the human brain has to process the information of all the drone daughter bodies, and the amount of information is so huge that it is by no means an easy task.

Only a pilot of exceptional willpower could withstand such mental exertion, and when it comes to willpower, there is no human with greater willpower than the greatest Green Lantern of all time.

Although Hal failed to become a Green Lantern, his willpower still came in handy on the battlefield.

A single drone is no match for Radon or any other goddess, but the advantage of the hive lies in its huge number. Once a drone battle group is formed on a certain scale, it will be a nightmare for any enemy.

After two attempts, groups of fighter planes began to appear on the horizon. This time, the number of them was so large and the momentum was so great that not only Calypso and Hespera, but even Diana and Circe who were hiding were silent.

"With such numbers, any enemy can be killed in a pile." Circe said solemnly, no longer in a playful mood.

"This is humanity's true warfighting prowess," Dane sighed. "The technology behind this type of fighter isn't difficult to replicate. The challenge lies in producing so many drones in such a short period of time. The resources and industrial might behind this are beyond the reach of Amazon."

The most powerful force of modern humans is not technology, but industrialization. Once the machines of the industrial system start running, the energy released is extremely terrifying.

The Amazons were able to invade the British Isles because, firstly, the blitzkrieg prevented the long-peaceful Great Britain from reacting in time, and secondly, the magical power was completely irrational, causing the British army, which had never faced such power, to instinctively panic and lose their composure.

Third, the Amazons invaded the capital in a very short time, and it was impossible for Great Britain to directly bomb the capital.

Fourth and most importantly, the Amazons will not really die. At that time, wave after wave of Amazon warriors came back to life, just like the 920 monster spawning of the game character, and the cost of trial and error was very low.

Before Great Britain could even display his true strength, the Amazons beat the master to death with a flurry of punches.

But now it is different. The United States has accumulated enough war experience and understands its opponents well enough. They have begun to fully demonstrate the advantages of industrial civilization.

If it weren't for the industrial transfer that resulted in the loss of most of the United States' domestic industrial system, their war capabilities would have recovered faster.

You have to know that the fighting will of the United States army is average. In history, victory in wars was basically achieved by relying on national strength to crush the opponent. This was a fair crushing victory. In the past, how difficult it was for their opponents was, and how difficult it was for Atlantis.

Fortunately, at the high-tech level, the United States Army, which prides itself on its high-tech, cannot gain much advantage over the Atlantis Army. The war between the two superpowers will not undergo absolute changes due to the emergence of the new sixth-generation fighter jets. There is still a fight between the surface civilization and the underwater civilization.

But Amazonians are no longer eligible to participate.

After watching for a while, Diana saw that the two goddesses and Ladon were gradually losing ground in the face of the absolute number of drones, and she couldn't help but remain silent.

"Now I understand why you didn't let us attack the humans directly." Circe didn't give Diana any face. "If humans had weapons like this when we seized New Paradise Island, the Amazons would never have been able to successfully land on the island."

Diana couldn't refute what Circe said.

Chapter 581 Air Combat Weapon

In the sky, Hal Jordan was carefully operating the fighter plane.

As an excellent pilot, this was the first time for Hal to fly such a new fighter jet. It was not controlled manually as in the past, but directly by mind control, which was quite like playing a virtual reality game.

With the help of the helmet, he was able to observe the world and the sky from a drone's perspective. Except for the lack of touch, Hal almost thought he was flying himself. This feeling was novel and exciting to him, as if he was born to be like this.

"Hal, don't get too excited. Pay attention to controlling the drone combat formation. Several drones have dispersed."

When he was immersed in the joy of flying, a reminder from his superior came through the earphone.

"Boss, you're so boring! This feeling is so rare, and you're only thinking about the mission..."

"Shut up! You little bastard, my fighter plane is not your toy!" The old man's angry voice came from the other side of the headset.

Hal immediately stopped when he heard the voice, because the owner of the voice was Carl Ferris, the inventor of the new drone under Hal's seat and the father of his girlfriend Carol. He was both his superior and his future father-in-law, so Hal had no choice but to restrain himself.

There is an air force base in the suburbs of Philadelphia, more than ten kilometers away. Carl Ferris and the leaders of the Air Force are watching the debut of the fourth generation of Ferris Sabre.

"The fourth generation performed significantly better than the third generation. With Hal's command, the drones became like living creatures, as if possessed of a soul."

Karl Ferris actively recommended his new fighter plane to the bigwigs of the Air Force Ministry.

The Ferris Sabre IV is a new fighter jet recently developed by Ferris Aerospace, a further expansion in the field of artificial intelligence aircraft.

In fact, the Sabre III is already a representative work of artificial intelligence drones, but when facing the information warfare of Atlantis, the third-generation intelligent system was easily broken by the enemy.

Atlantis has cracked Cyborg's electronic consciousness, and human information technology is no longer a secret in front of the sea people.

The fourth generation was a redeveloped work under the pressure of Atlantis. With the help of the Sky Eye Society, Carl Ferris obtained a spaceship from outer space and cracked a lot of magical technologies from it.

Due to the technological gap, humans cannot completely crack the technology on the alien spacecraft, but they have extracted a very interesting technology from it.

That is, by connecting the nervous system with the aircraft's intelligent control system, it is possible to achieve maximum human-computer interaction, and enable the pilot to remotely control the fighter jet with his thoughts, achieving an immersive experience and unity between man and machine.

However, this technology also has great disadvantages. Using the human brain to control a drone is relatively easy, but controlling two becomes very difficult, and three is simply a disaster.

Drones must appear in clusters to dominate the battlefield. From the perspective of human thinking, this is almost an impossible task.

No one can distract themselves to control so many fighter jets, so the R&D department under Carl came up with the idea of using other artificial intelligence to assist the human brain, and programmed thousands of collaborative combat modes for the unmanned fighter swarm.

In this way, the operator does not have to control every drone, but only needs to grasp the general direction and choose the appropriate combat mode. The artificial intelligence will automatically complete the control of each drone and form a group combat formation.

But even so, controlling multiple drones is still a huge test for the pilot's spirit. Even if Carl uses the original third-generation intelligent system to assist the pilot in controlling the fighter group, the driver still needs to bear tremendous mental pressure.

In tests, most excellent pilots risked losing their will when subjected to fifty drones, but fifty drones were still not enough to gain an absolute advantage on the battlefield.

In Carl's vision, if hundreds of fighter jets could take off at the same time, they would basically be able to dominate the sky over a war zone.

If he could form a fleet of thousands of drones, he would even dare to claim that he could occupy the airspace of a country.

If the number of fighter jets under control could reach tens of thousands, Carl even felt that the fourth-generation Sabre was capable of fighting an interstellar war.

However, the number of drones is easy to increase and there are no technical difficulties, but it is difficult to find pilots who can withstand the mental pressure and control the fleet of fighter jets.

Carl searched for a long time, and finally found only Hal Jordan, a pilot who could withstand the pressure. He seemed to be born for this. Not only could he easily withstand the mental pressure brought by controlling hundreds of drones, but he also had the energy to use more complex fighter coordination tactics. And at present, he is far from reaching his limit.

"Your fourth-generation fighter is quite good." The Air Force official initially praised Carl's efforts, but then added, "But there are still some shortcomings regarding the pilots. So far, is Hal Jordan the only one who can control all drones?"

Karl had no way of lying and could only nod in agreement.

"If this problem is not solved, the fourth-generation saber can only be used as a surprise weapon, but cannot be popularized in the army." The Air Force Major General shook his head. He was also a little conflicted. Although the fourth generation had many problems, its advantage in air control was obvious.

Moreover, only Hal can control these drones. In other words, they are safe and controllable, and there is no need to worry about other enemies learning the technology.

Controlling one Hal Jordan is obviously much easier than controlling a group of pilots who can freely control drones.

Therefore, this technology is still extremely valuable to the Air Force, whose air superiority is suppressed by the Atlanteans. However, when using this technology, they must rely on Hal, and Hal...

Both the Air Force and Carl felt that this man was a bit difficult to deal with. A person with strong willpower certainly has his own principles and persistence. They didn't know whether Hal could absolutely cooperate on all battlefields.

Others might be able to, but Hal wasn't sure. This young man had a lot of ideas and a stubborn temper... If it weren't for Carl's special identity, the Air Force wouldn't have known if they could command this man. He would have left the army long ago...

Logically speaking, drone pilots don't have to go to the battlefield in person. It is enough to hide in a safe base to control the drones. However, Hal insisted on entering the battlefield. If he was shot down by the enemy, all drones would be paralyzed instantly.

Carl couldn't help but get a headache when he thought of that scene. He hoped Hal could be more careful.

Hal, who was performing on the battlefield, was completely unaware of his superiors' headaches. He excitedly controlled the drone to attack the target and gradually suppressed the opponent.

However, even so, the missile attack was still ineffective in the face of the protective barrier raised by Hespera. Not long after, a giant dragon flew over from a distance.

"Ha! The big guy is coming!" When Hal saw Ladon coming, he was not surprised at all, but even more excited. Dragon slaying! This kind of thing was what he was most interested in!

So he controlled the drones that were attacking the goddesses, splitting dozens of them and sending them flying towards the dragon.

Chapter 582 Technology vs. Magic

Seeing that Calypso and Hespera could hardly hold on, Ladon quickly returned. When he came back, he saw a bunch of drones bombarding the Tree of Life. Ladon was immediately furious.

He opened his mouth and spit out dragon breath, and the drone melted instantly. The hanging missiles also exploded in the air, setting off a series of fireworks.

Hal was connected to the drone's vision and faced the horror of dragon flame directly. Fortunately, the drone could share vision but not touch, and even the hearing was noise-reduced, so he himself was not affected at all. It was just the loss of a few drones. For him, it was like losing a few soldiers in a game, no big deal.

But he did find out Radon's action pattern.

"This dragon is protecting the tree." Hal was still very serious about his business. He immediately noticed Ladon's weakness and that the other party was unwilling to leave the Tree of Life.

So Hal controlled the drones to disperse, trying to make Ladon lose sight of the big picture.

Some of the drones continued to attack the two goddesses, some entangled Radon, and some were taking Shazam for a walk. Calypso had no way to be distracted now, so Shazam, who was not actively controlled, was like a robot following a rigid program, being taken for a walk by several drones.

In addition to the drones assigned above, more 123 drones are concentrating their firepower to attack the Tree of Life. Although Hespera's magic shield successfully blocked all the missiles, she didn't know how long she could hold on.

At this moment, Hespera really hated her sister Anthea. If she was willing to cooperate, she could easily divide the enemy's forces with the power of the axis and move the Tree of Life to a safe place.

But what Hespera didn't know was that Calypso, who was standing next to her, had a relaxed expression on her face. The monsters she controlled were still tirelessly transporting humans to the Tree of Life.

But half of the vitality was transferred to her through the blood sacrifice ritual, and her divine power was recovering rapidly. But at the same time, Calypso's divinity was gradually becoming dim, but she herself was unaware of it.

She hoped to delay it as long as possible. Normally, her secret actions would not be discovered, but unfortunately, someone in this war was watching her.

In the air force base, a military official's cell phone suddenly rang. He looked down and his face suddenly changed. He quickly took a few steps and found a secluded corner to answer the call.

"Yes, yes...I understand." After a brief conversation, the official carefully hung up the phone and walked back quickly.

"New news."

The Air Force Major General listened attentively.

"One of the two targets codenamed Goddesses is attempting to sacrifice humans to restore their strength."

Carl was a little surprised, thinking that it was not easy for the authorities to even get this kind of information!

The Air Force Major General had some knowledge of what was going on in the upper leadership circles and didn't dare ignore this news. He quickly said to Carl, "Have Hal focus his main attack on those two goddesses!"

Carl did as he was told and immediately gave Hal military orders.

But Hal's uncertainty broke out at this moment. He was having a hot affair with Ladon and was a little annoyed by Carl's chatter.

However, he still glanced down a few times and found that the two goddesses were still struggling to resist the attack of the drone swarm, and there was no sign of them escaping.

Moreover, the magic shield on the surface of the giant tree in the center is also on the verge of collapsing, and it seems that it will break through if it holds on a little longer!

Before the action, Hal received the order to destroy the giant tree at all costs. Now that he saw that the mission was about to be completed, he instinctively did not want to cause any trouble.

However, the person who issued the order was his future father-in-law and his immediate superior after all, and Hal didn't want to refuse so stubbornly. Just when he was about to allocate some more fighter jets to deal with the two "goddesses", Shazam, who was originally being flown around by Shazam, suddenly turned his head, and his two completely black eyes seemed to penetrate the heavy drones and shoot directly at the mother plane that Hal was riding.

Hal's heart skipped a beat and he felt something was wrong.

The ominous premonition came true the next second. Shazam suddenly abandoned the drones that were entangled with him and flew towards his position with a clear target.

"He's coming for me!"

Although Hal didn't know what happened, he believed in his own judgment. Without saying a word, he turned the plane around and ran!

It doesn't matter how many drones are destroyed, because treating them as expendable is itself a tactic.

But once the mother machine is destroyed, it means that the honeycomb system is destroyed, and all unmanned fighters will be paralyzed at the same time as the mother machine crashes. This will be a catastrophic failure!

As a bystander, Dane saw clearly that this was Calypso's work, and he admitted that he might have underestimated the goddess.

After accumulating enough divine power, her power of chaos became stronger, and her mental power was even able to penetrate into the drone's intelligent control system and find Hal, an "alien" who was obviously not an artificial intelligence.

In the first showdown between magic and technology, magic wins.

"I found you!" Calypso, who was pretending to be struggling on the ground, suddenly smiled and controlled Shazam to chase the special fighter.

The surrounding drones seemed to be affected by the operators, the strength of their attacks dropped a lot, and the continuous firing of machine guns seemed to be delayed.
