Translation: Drones could soon be working together in swarms to put out flames before they become wildfires. A team of firefighters, scientists and engineers are working on a project they say will allow swarms of up autonomous planes to spot and extinguish fires by working collectively using artificial intelligence. The 91热爆 was invited to an airfield in Cornwall to watch a small-scale swarm trial using one of these along with two smaller test drones. A fire was lit in a bin and the aircraft worked together autonomously to spot it, according to researchers.The drones that researchers want to eventually use by firefighters are large twin-engined aircraft with a wingspan of 9.5m and large water-carrying capacity. Similar to a flock of birds that flies in a co-ordinated manner, a swarm can adapt to changes, so the drones can be deployed long-term, with no gaps in coverage. The twin-engine drones were developed by UK company Windracers.

Story two: Gwellheansow yw gwaytys bos gwrys yn dew dyller istorek war Woon Bren, avel rann a ragdres.

Translation: Improvements are set to be made at two historic sites on Bodmin Moor as part of a project. Cornwall National Landscape said the Goodaver stone circle and Tresibbet, a deserted medieval hamlet, had been included in the 鈥楢 Monumental Improvement鈥 scheme. The stone circle is an arrangement of 23 granite stones dating to the bronze age, about 32 meters in diameter. The project aims to improve the condition of monuments, along with giving visitors better access and more information about the sites,

Story three: Hendhyskonydh bodhesik yn Sen Senan re wrug diskudhans yn hy lowarth hy honan - fardel kresigow a鈥檔 bledhynnyow deg ha tri ugens.

Translation: An amateur archeologist in Sennen has made a discovery in her own garden 鈥 a 1970s crisp packet. Janet Midwinter found the Crispi Crisps packet inside her gate and thought it could have been blown there after being buried in soil or rubble.The packet, although somewhat dishevelled, clearly shows its price of 鈥4p鈥 and the star logo which was famous for Crispi Crisps.Emily Stevenson, the co-founder of Beach Guardian, said crisp packets break down into micro-plastic in the sea, only those that are buried survive. Mrs Midwinter has framed the packet and intends to put it next to the recycling point at Sennen Market as a warning to people about the long time crisp packets takes to break down.
