Chapter 250: Is This a Model Toy?
The faces of the researchers of the Yinjiang R&D team are not very good-looking, and the situation they are most worried about has appeared. The opposing team began to specify targets indiscriminately before they could figure out the situation, which would disrupt their research progress.
Seeing this, Lu Zixin said: "Don't worry, we don't want to deny your achievements. Rather, we have different understandings and implementation plans for this project. β
"Mr. Lu, this is not a different understanding, this is completely unreasonable!" Hou Xinghua argued with reason, saying: "As long as the performance of our logistics drones is improved, coupled with an intelligent flight management system, it can be successfully used." β
"But you say you want to abandon the current rotary-wing drone, so I want to know, what kind of drone can we use?"
Lu Zixin smiled slightly and said: "The rotor type is large in size, the noise pollution is serious, and it is not convenient to fly in bad weather, so we want to make jet drones." β
"What?jet drone?" Lu Zixin finished speaking, Hou Xinghua and the others were stunned for a moment, and then randomly showed a contradictory expression.
It was an expression that wanted to laugh but was embarrassed to laugh, Hou Xinghua originally thought that Hongxin's team would have some clever insights, who knew that they actually wanted to make jet logistics drones.
It's a completely unrealistic idea! It's so much to take for granted, if jet logistics drones are so easy to do, don't they know how to do it?
The Yinjiang team was a little speechless, Hou Xinghua coughed twice, and said: "Mr. Lu, let's talk about things, I have to say something." β
"You say. Lu Zixin nodded.
He looked at Hongxin's R&D team, increased the decibels, and said, "If it's just a simple jet, there's nothing wrong with it." β
"But what we want to do is a small logistics drone, not a large transport aircraft, which has a limit in size. If you want to install jet equipment, you also need to design fuel tanks and carry fossil fuels, which add up to more than the limit!"
"The second is the cost, the cost of jets is too high, for us, we want to find a more convenient way of logistics, rather than increasing our own transportation costs. β
Lu Zixin said: "You can make it smaller, and the cost can also be reduced." β
Hou Xinghua smiled helplessly and said: "If it is small, the power of the jet device will definitely be insufficient." And the load capacity will also be reduced, and small drones will take up a lot of weight just to carry fossil fuels, let alone transport goods. So, Mr. Lu, I think your idea is really ...... Not quite right. β
"You don't have to carry fossil dyes, you can just use electric jets. A person from Hongxin's R&D team interjected, "A small electric jet device only uses a lithium-air battery with high energy density, and power and load capacity are not a problem." β
"What?electric jets?" Hou Xinghua seemed to hear a joke, "This is impossible, I haven't heard of anyone who can make a small electric jet that can be transported with loads, and it is not as good as our electromechanical rotary-wing drone." β
The other members of the Yinjiang team also smiled, and the views of the Hongxin team were too naΓ―ve. If it's as simple as they say, why do other logistics companies only study rotary-wing drones?
Amazon, Google, Deutsche Post, Israel Drone Technologies, Shunfeng, Tao Bao...... These companies are making rotary-wing logistics drones because this is the technology that best meets the requirements of the market.
"Our purpose is to make the impossible possible. Lu Zixin said with a smile, "Actually, I won't hide it from you, we have already made the preliminary electric jet logistics drone, and the specific performance is still being debugged and improved." β
"This time I came here to let the R&D teams on both sides work together to improve it, strive to complete the perfect logistics drone supply chain as soon as possible, and obtain the recognition of relevant departments and promote it to the whole country. β
"You've already made it?" Hou Xinghua asked in an incredible tone with wide eyes.
The others also showed surprised expressions, the team of Hongxin had not even started to join the project, and it was so unrealistic, it sounded like an April Fool's joke.
"This ...... How do you do it......" The researcher who had just questioned stood up and said, "Can I take a look?"
"Absolutely. Lu Zixin asked people to bring the samples they were carrying and put them on the table.
Seeing a round "small flying saucer" exposed in the box, everyone was surprised: "This is the jet drone you made?"
Their tone was full of skepticism, the drone was too small, and even if there was an electric jet, they would prefer to believe that it was a model toy rather than a logistics drone capable of carrying weights over long distances.
Hou Xinghua didn't know what to say, no matter how he looked at it, it looked like something sold to children in the supermarket. It's good that it can fly on its own, and it's also logistics and transportation, isn't that nonsense?
"Can it really fly without a rotor?" someone questioned.
"Even if it can fly, this kind of drone can't carry weight, right?"
"We can try it, its load capacity, about 20 kilograms, can meet more than 95% of ordinary parcel delivery. Lu Zixin said.
"Twenty kilograms?" The Yinjiang team all felt that Lu Zixin was talking big, just this little thing can carry twenty kilograms?
The quadcopter medium-sized logistics drone they made is now very difficult to carry ten kilograms, and the size of this small flying saucer is so small, which means that the jet device inside is also miniature, and the energy supply is also difficult to meet.
"Is it really twenty kilograms, not two kilograms?" Hou Xinghua confirmed again.
"It's twenty kilograms!" affirmed the R&D member of the Hongxin team, "and now we can go outside and display it." β
"Let's go, look, I still don't believe it, such a gadget can carry twenty kilograms!" Hou Xinghua was a little unconvinced, he didn't believe that his team's research could be so far from Hongxin's!
They came to the yard and first commissioned this electric jet drone. Seeing that it could really fly in a jet, Hou Xinghua and the others were indeed a little surprised, the power of this thing really looked like that.
It's just twenty kilograms, which is a bit too exaggerated.
Just as they were preparing for a test flight of a 20-kilogram sample package, someone suddenly visited, it was the staff of the Shunfeng Logistics UAV Research Base next to them.
"Is there anything you guys are up to?" someone asked.
The staff member on the side explained, "That's right, we're in some trouble and want to ask you for help." β
