Chapter 184: Latitude and Longitude
More than 100 kilometers away in the sea, the electronic reconnaissance ship belonging to the Fifth Fleet monitored the launch trajectory of the rocket and also noticed the sudden increase in the number of satellite communications in this area.
It is impossible to build a lot of measurement and control facilities just for the launch site of Aber, but fortunately, it is now the space age, satellite monitoring is just as accurate, and the Yuanwang-3 radar ship has also gone abroad to use a large antenna to illuminate the Persian Gulf, and there is no problem in guiding the Xinyuan-2.
"…This is the Aber National Television Station. At 12:37 this morning, Aber used the Ahal-Tekin heavy rocket belonging to the Aber Space Agency in Mukala to successfully launch the last module of the "Shira" space station into orbit, and it is expected to complete the docking quickly within two hours, and completely build the "Shira Space Station" before the arrival of the ceremony..."
When the news of the successful launch came from the radio and television, the crowd of pilgrims in the holy city of Mecca cheered, and the local clergy had never felt such enthusiasm!
At the Mukala Space Launch Site, the dignitaries of the four countries and the engineers of Xinyuan Company shook hands and took photos. The terminally ill Alert straightened his back and embraced Chen Xuan, the engineer sent by Xinyuan, with great spirits.
"Thank you, thank you friends from the East. Allah said that you have friendship, and we feel this friendship."
Crown Prince Hamand was right next to him, holding Chen Xuan's hand:
"The Hilla Space Station will be open to our friends. I look forward to one day going into space with Lin and spreading the gospel of Allah to the world. Aber hopes to purchase another TV broadcast satellite from Xinyuan and introduce longitude and latitude navigation into Aber's country."
Chen Xuan: "Thank you, Your Highness Hamand, I will tell you the truth."
"Look, Jiejin is back!"
A cry of surprise diverted everyone's attention. It turned out that the first-stage rocket of Xinyuan No. 2 had appeared in the field of vision and was about to complete the landing procedure.
Above the launch tower in the empty desert, the Ahal Jiejin rocket in Aber's mind reappeared in front of them. Many people who witnessed such a scene for the first time couldn't help but admire such a miracle.
The tail flame of the M220 in the middle was like the tail of a horse, waving a fiery red track in the air.
Most of the carefully drawn scriptures were burned in the burning of the atmosphere, but some specially strengthened sentences were still retained.
The clergy who had been prepared long ago used the broadcast of the launch tower to announce that this was the oracle left by God. He was very satisfied with this palace and generously allowed the Arabs to go up and serve it.
Then Chen Xuan saw that the height of the audience area of the launch site was visibly lowered. Except for tourists and reporters, most Arabs prostrated themselves on the ground and listened respectfully to God's instructions.
Although they were all sentences that were used too much in the Koran, they could be interpreted in a new way here. It was roughly that God was very satisfied, you did a good job, the old King of Alert would go to heaven, and Crown Prince Hamand ascended the throne as expected by everyone, etc.
Just a few paragraphs, the clergy had to explain for half an hour before they finished with a sense of unsatisfaction, leaving Xinyuan's engineers and reporters speechless.
…
"Jingtianweidi, aerospace quality, use Jingwei Navigation for travel!"
"Jingwei Navigation, accurate to the millimeter!"
Such advertising slogans suddenly began to appear on the roads in cities and towns, indicating that a map software company called "Jingwei Navigation" is trying to enter the market.
Whether it is high-end TV advertisements or painted slogans on residential houses beside the national highway, there are advertisements for Jingwei Navigation everywhere.
Jingwei Navigation, as the name suggests, is a civilian navigation software developed mainly based on the Jingwei Intelligent Satellite Network, providing navigation and satellite communication services for cars, ships, and aircraft through different terminals.
Unlike the slow Beidou navigation system, Jingwei Intelligent Network relies on its own high-performance ternary chips and fast networking. 70 satellites have completed coverage of most parts of the world and full coverage of Asia.
It is obviously too wasteful to give such a network to Xin'an Company alone, so Lin Ju started a new business and organized "Jingwei Information Technology and Satellite Communication Company" to specialize in navigation and satellite communication services.
Jingwei Communication is not a wholly-owned subsidiary of Xinyuan, but a joint venture between Xinyuan, China Satellite Navigation Management Office and Science and Technology Commission. The latter two do not interfere with commercial operations and hold 19% of the shares.
Jingwei Communication is not born to make money. Its main purpose is to collect data and establish a database of traffic and travel to develop more advanced autonomous driving artificial intelligence.
Jingwei Navigation is connected to Jingwei Smart Network and Beidou Satellite Navigation at the same time, and also cooperates with transportation departments across the country. It intends to create the best navigation software in the country.
In addition to the functions of normal map software, Jingwei Navigation can also connect any car using Beidou or Jingwei Smart Network to each other for prompt functions.
For example, when driving on a curve in the mountainous area, the oncoming car happens to use Jingwei Navigation. The owners of both cars will receive a prompt, and the speed and position of the other car will be marked on the map to reduce the risk of accidents.
Another example is to contact the traffic control departments in various places to obtain road control and traffic light conditions, plan the best route for car owners, and wait for traffic lights as little as possible, or even not wait for traffic lights.
However, this is a bit troublesome because the current national traffic management department is not as efficient and unified as in later generations, so it can only be carried out in large cities with good development for the time being.
Of course, in addition to these, Jingwei Navigation has a very special function: the conversational artificial intelligence "Jingwei".
Xinyuan's engineers used the relatively open network environment at that time to frantically crawl data from major forums and social software, feed it to the evolutionary artificial intelligence core extracted from SC09, and cultivate a conversational artificial intelligence similar to ChatGPt in later generations.
Although the XW151/161 series intelligent system already has artificial intelligence Xiaoxin, it is very professional and relies on the built-in X321 series chips, which is expensive to use.
"Jingwei" is different. It is a conversation model. It can be used as long as it is connected to Xinyuan's server, without local computing power.
In order to save computing power resources, "Jingwei" runs on the cloud server rented by Xinyuan, and is only open to users who use Jingwei navigation with restrictions. The number of conversations per person per day is limited, but it is basically enough.
The design purpose of "Jingwei" is firstly the voice control part of the navigation software, and secondly, it can chat with the driver on the way to relieve boredom, although it is still very stupid now.
Although "Jingwei" taking the big data model and SC09 on the real-time calculation road have the same origin, they are already two completely different roads. In the future, everyone still prefers SC09 in the application of autonomous driving.
Jingwei is just an attempt, but it still brings people a novel experience, artificial intelligence!
