Zheng Quanli was specially transferred from the airborne troops of the Military Region to participate in this high-altitude experimental project.

As the ground combat force with the strongest mobility capability, the airborne troops are very concerned about air platforms, meteorological changes, aviation medicine, and other elements, so the airborne troops also participated in the high-altitude test project of the Air Force.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the Air Force transferred him from the airborne troops to the compound of the military region to be responsible for the compilation and collation of meteorological data in the early stage, and because of this, Zheng Quanli has a very good understanding of the progress of the Sin Chew troops, and lacks effective detection equipment, and the speed of advancement is very unsatisfactory.

Finally, a modified Il-18 detection plane was transferred from the headquarters, but it was not used a few times, and the landing gear of the old Il-18 broke when it landed, and the belly of the aircraft came into close contact with the ground. As a result, all the imported meteorological detection equipment installed under the belly of the machine was crushed into slag and completely scrapped.

More than four million things were lost in this way, and the valuable platform of an aerial survey and mapping brigade had to be returned to the factory for overhaul.

If it's just normal times, the problem is that Il-18 is not affected by the meteorological survey on the side of Xingzhou, but by the topographic mapping work of the entire East and South China.

From the beginning of the 60s to the present, more than 20 years have passed, and the geological changes and the production and life of domestic residents have changed the topography and landform very greatly.

Under normal circumstances, every three to five years, the troops will organize large-scale topographic surveying and mapping work in order to correct the map information and provide a strong guarantee for the troops' military operations.

However, due to various reasons, the troops during the special period did not do surveying, mapping, and correction at all, and more than 20 years later, after the influence of the special period was eliminated within the troops, and regular training and exercises were gradually started, it was discovered that many of the maps in their hands were outdated.

The lake that was originally marked as a crop, the hills at an altitude of 200 meters have been cut to less than 100 meters due to mining, and a river is on the map.

There are many similar situations, although there is no change in the general direction, but this kind of adjustment in the details still has a great impact on military operations, after all, in military operations often details determine success or failure, a river, a high ground looks inconspicuous, but once skillfully used, it is the key to the decisive victory of both sides.

Therefore, correcting the map and improving the details has become the main task of the headquarters this year, and the only way to make surveying and mapping and correction can be done quickly and steadily can be done by aerial surveying and mapping.

Because of this, the headquarters cherishes the few Il-18 aircraft that can be surveyed and mapped, even if they are already a generation behind, but because of their unique role, they are still regarded as treasures.

Now that there is a nest, it is very likely to affect the surveying and mapping work behind, and it is no wonder that the leaders of the headquarters are not angry.

Therefore, the higher-level leader not only scolded Hong Shengli of Xingzhou, but Zheng Quanli, who was seconded to the provincial capital military region, did not run away, but was also scolded for a bloody head, the reason is very simple, the attention of Yir 18 at the secondment headquarters was given by him, and if something happened, he naturally had to bear the responsibility.

Therefore, after this matter has passed, Zheng Quanli does not expect that the collection and analysis of meteorological data can be completed in a short period of time on the side of Xingzhou, and without the equipment at hand, it is equivalent to the soldiers who go to the battlefield without guns in their hands, how can they be expected to fight?

Therefore, Zheng Quanli is ready to stay up until the end of the year in the military region, there is no way, the superior chief said that it is just talking about half a month, because everyone up and down the whole project knows that they lack a carrying platform, let alone half a month, even half a year can not be done.

Na Cheng thought, it was only two days later, and the Sin Chew troops sent a meteorological analysis report, and it was also an extremely rare complex meteorological report for studying thunderstorms.

This surprised Zheng Quanli, how did the Sin Chew troops get such a difficult meteorological data? Sounding balloons? Impossible, that thing must not be photographed during a thunderstorm?

Forget it, if the planes of the Sin Chew troops could fly such bad and complicated weather, they would have become the trump card that the air force relied on a long time ago.

Could it be that they threw people directly into the sky?

Zheng Quanli thought with a big brain.

"They're using drones. ”

Just when Zheng Quanli looked at the page full of data in a daze, the chief gave the answer, Zheng Quanli was stunned when he heard this, and then opened his eyes and said in disbelief: "How is it possible? We have done experiments, and that thing can't fly six thousand meters at all." ”

Yes, Zheng Quanli has long thought of drones, you must know that Zheng Quanli is a well-known expert in the use of drones in the army, relying on the five TY1 drones provided by the Tengfei Factory, as well as Zheng Quanli's imaginative tactical awareness.

In the past year, Zheng Quanli and his troops have achieved brilliant results in all exercises, including the case of using drones to calibrate mortars, which was also put into the classroom by the Artillery Academy as a lesson plan for new tactics in the future.

And Zheng Quanli has indisputably become the first person in the military in terms of drones.

So when Zheng Quanli was transferred to participate in the preliminary preparation of the high-altitude test project, the first thing that came to mind was the UAV, so he also borrowed a valuable TY1 UAV from the original army for modification, and the result was very disappointing, the TY1 UAV could not fly at a limit altitude of 6,000 meters, and there was still a big gap between more than 8,000 meters, so he had to give up helplessly.

Which Cheng thought that at this moment, the chief said that the Sin Chew troops were using drones, which made Zheng Quanli, who had experienced countless failures, buzz in surprise.

"I was also surprised, at the end of the report, Hong Shengli had an introduction to the drone, you are an expert in this area, take a good look. The chief was not surprised by Zheng Quanli's surprise, because he was not much stronger than the current Zheng Quanli after receiving the report, after all, he was also the one who was hit by failure all the way to the present, but because he read the report in advance and took a long time to digest it, he did not have such a big reaction from Zheng Quanli.

Zheng Quanli didn't have the heart to think about the chief'......s complicated mental journey, so he hurriedly flipped the report to the back, read it quickly, and his expression immediately became strange, and he subconsciously said out: "ty2, Plath~~~?

Saying that, he shook his head, saying that he was no longer able to complain, but in the end, he still had a solemn expression and looked at the chief opposite: "If it is another drone, I can't say it, but the take-off factory in Huancheng is still very guaranteed, the ty1 drone of my original army is provided by them, and obviously a new product has been launched, which is the name ......"

"The name is not very good, brushed, brushed, it sounds a little disgusting, but that's not the point, I came to you today to ask you, an expert in the use of drones, can the drones of the Xingzhou Army be used in topographic surveying and mapping?"
