Chapter 249: Team Conflict
"What does the company mean by this? Let's listen to the red letter, isn't it a cooperative research and development? It means that we have given them a hand?" said a researcher dissatisfiedly, and the above words roughly meant that.
"yes, we now have the preliminary results. In fact, we can do it without them. I don't know what the company thinks, so I have to work with them?"
"Hongxin's intelligent system is still good. The leader said, his name is Hou Xinghua, is the person in charge of the Yinjiang logistics drone project, more than 40 years old this year, once worked in the Amazon drone project department in the United States, has rich technical experience.
Hou Xinghua has a generous face and a tall figure, and he continued: "If you can cooperate with them to develop an intelligent drone delivery and management system, it will be very good." ”
"But the company's meaning is that Hongxin wants to take over the research and development, and let us assist. One researcher emphasized, "It's not what we're asking for. ”
"That's what I said. Hou Xinghua soothed, "When they come, they are not poor and white, and they don't understand anything? ”
"Anyway, everyone is cooperative, and our goal is to come up with reliable research and development results. If there's a little friction, just relax the snack. ”
"Hey!" an old researcher sighed and said, "I heard that Hongxin Group is now also a shareholder of our Yinjiang, are we now a project of Yinjiang or a project of Hongxin?"
"What do you want to do so much?" Hou Xinghua said, "The company has its own arrangements. ”
......
When Lu Zixin brought people there, it took a lot of effort, because the traffic here is inconvenient, there is no direct train, and you have to find a large section of country road to get off the highway.
The road is not very easy to walk, especially when it rained before, it washed away a section of the road, and it was crazy. Lu Zixin has good physical fitness, and there is nothing unusual. But the senior programmers of several intelligent systems developed from Hongxin Software are not good, and they get motion sickness and vomit.
They usually work in front of the computer, and they often stay up late, and their physical fitness is not good, and it is a torture to come here.
Fortunately, the research base is built in the town, not in the township, otherwise they would have to suffer.
When he arrived at the place, Lu Zixin found that it was said to be a research base, but it was actually very simple, like a farm compound, except for the necessary equipment, there were basically no other facilities.
Next to the Yinjiang Logistics UAV Research Base, there is a more modern research base, which Lu Zixin noticed as soon as he arrived.
Outside its research base, there is a sign that reads: "Shunfeng Logistics UAV Nankang Pilot Research Base".
"Shunfeng's research base is three times larger than Yinjiang!" said the accompanying employee, "From the outside, it looks too bad." ”
"Shunfeng is richer than Yinjiang!" said a colleague, "I heard that this Yinjiang is almost ready to withdraw the research on logistics drones, just because of the lack of research funds." ”
Lu Zixin said: "The size of the research base is not the key, the key is to see who has better performance of the finished product." This time, you strive to come up with an implementable logistics drone plan as soon as possible to catch up with other companies. ”
"Mr. Lu, the information is so rich, there must be no problem!" The researchers were full of confidence, they had studied it in detail before they came.
Now their biggest problem is to know how to solve the problems encountered by drones in the actual logistics and transportation process, and how to cooperate with relevant departments to manage and operate.
After all, in terms of logistics management, it is the team of Yinjiang that is more experienced.
When they arrived at the research base in Yinjiang, Hou Xinghua's team was conducting a test flight of a quadrotor logistics drone.
It was a tabletop-sized drone with four mechanical rotors mounted at the four corners and a battery as an energy source. The overall structure of the drone is very simple, with a control system and battery facilities in the middle, and the cargo carrying method is also a hoisting parcel box.
Lu Zixin saw that the quadcopter drone took off several times with a ten-kilogram sample, and it was not very stable, obviously the balance system was not done well, and once such a state encountered bad weather such as wind and rain, it would definitely not be able to fly.
"Hongxin's team is here?" The people from the research base noticed the incoming car, and Hou Xinghua brought someone out to greet him.
After introducing each other's self-introduction, they began to communicate and arrange the work content.
In this regard, Lu Zixin did not interfere, but just listened to the side, wanting to understand some problems in the research, so that he could arrange for them to be solved.
Hou Xinghua said: "Regarding logistics drones, we already have preliminary research results. Our single-rotor logistics drone is capable of delivering small parcels of three to five kilograms, with a transportation radius of about six kilometers. ”
"Quadrotor logistics drone, this is not perfect, but it is expected to be able to transport five to ten kilograms of logistics parcels after completion, with a transportation radius of about ten kilometers, which can meet more than 80% of the logistics distribution in the express parcel industry. ”
"We are very happy to be working with you this time. I have always heard that Hongxin is very good at intelligent system and semiconductor research, and I hope to get the most advanced UAV control and management system, as well as sensor equipment on UAV equipment. ”
"We are also very happy to work with you, you are experts in this area. The person in charge of the red letter also said, "But our plan may be a little different from yours. ”
"What is it?" asked Hou Xinghua.
The person in charge of Hongxin looked at the team in Yinjiang and said slowly: "We believe that the rotary-wing drone is not in line with our research goals, and we need to redesign a new type of logistics drone, which can not only meet the logistics and distribution needs of remote areas, but also be used in the urban air mobility system." ”
"What?" After listening to him, not only Hou Xinghua, but the entire Yinjiang R&D team was stunned.
Listen to what he means, this is a complete negation of the research results of the Yinjiang team, and start again?
Rao is Hou Xinghua has a good temper, and he had to be angry at this time, he immediately said: "What do you mean by this? The rotary-wing drone we have developed is not the best in the world, but it is definitely the first-class!"
"When I was in Amazon's drone project department, their current commercial logistics drones can achieve similar performance as our research results!"
Another researcher from Yinjiang also asked: "What you think is too unrealistic! Logistics drones cannot enter large cities at this stage, first of all, the cost is not as good as labor, not to mention noise pollution, safety hazards, traffic management!"
"I hope you can seriously consider it and combine it with the actual situation!"
