At present, the relationship between the two sides has only been initially established, and the other party also knows that it is not appropriate to rashly propose to let Chen Chen inject capital at this time.

And for now, if the chip development is handed over to the pioneer company, they themselves can invest all their human and financial resources in the research and development of the drone itself, which will also relieve the pressure to a certain extent.

Chen Chen fell into deep thought, weighing the pros and cons of this.

And a group of Grumman executives also knew that he was considering, and consciously kept quiet at the moment, waiting for his reply.

In fact, this matter is still very attractive to Chen Chen, he has been thinking about developing smart weapons, and he also needs to improve the current chip and develop more advanced finished products, which is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity.

Using Grumman's UAV as a test platform to get more test and even actual combat data, this is definitely beneficial for future development, and their technology can also provide a lot of reference for themselves.

Thinking about this, Chen Chen finally raised his head and looked at everyone calmly: "How long is the specific deadline given to you by the military?" ”

"The military's requirement was to finalize the final model within three months." Harry replied without hesitation: "They want to deliver the first batch of twenty-four aircraft early next year, so time is tight. ”

"Three months...... It's okay......" Hearing this, Chen Chen groaned slightly, and then looked at everyone with a straight face: "Then, please send an invitation letter to Miss Olijia, the representative of the pioneer company, and I will quickly start the research and development of the second-generation chip to cooperate with your drone project." ”

"You agree?" Hearing this reply, Harry couldn't help but stand up excitedly, walked up to Chen Chen in a few steps and stretched out his right hand: "Great! Invitation letter? No, no, I don't need to invite bids, I will send someone to Finland and sign a research and development agreement with Miss Olga in person. ”

"That's fine!" Chen Chen also stood up, stretched out his right hand and shook it with the other party: "Then let's cooperate happily." ”

"It's a pleasure to work with." Harry's face was excited, and his right hand shook violently.

"In fact, there is another thing, you can consider it......" At this time, Chen Chen thought of the technical reference again, and took the initiative to ask: "The pioneer company also has some of its own understanding of technology, if it is feasible, it can participate in research and development, and it should also play some role, of course, for the sake of technical confidentiality, this is not reluctant, depending on what you mean." ”

"Would you like to collaborate on R&D?" Harry didn't understand what Chen Chen meant for a moment, and thought he wanted to participate in the research and development.

"No, I think I understand what Mr. Chen meant......" Clarence suddenly thought of Chen Chen's improvement in the aerodynamic layout of the drone, and stood up excitedly and said: "Mr. Chen has already said that the pioneer company will not be directly involved in the development of weapons, so he does not want to cooperate with us in the development, but just wants to participate in the research and development and use the technology he has mastered to give us some help." ”

"That's it!" Chen Chen nodded in agreement: "Since I said that the Pioneer Company Department is directly involved in the development of weapons, I can't slap myself in the mouth, but I just want to be able to put forward some suggestions with some personal experience." ”

"That's great!" Victor was also excited, and his body couldn't help but tremble a few times: "Mr. Chen's technical attainments, I have seen it with my own eyes, and with your participation, it will definitely bring us a lot of help." ”

"Our technical leaders have said so, and it seems that there is no need to think about it anymore." Seeing this, Harry also laughed on the side: "Then let's officially invite Mr. Chen to participate in research and development in an informal way." ”

"That's for the best." Chen Chen nodded with satisfaction: "I don't want the media to gossip." ”

This caused everyone present to laugh.

The cooperation was negotiated, both sides got what they needed, everyone was very happy, considering that Chen Chen had been invited to participate in the research and development, so he was simply invited to visit the advanced technology and design center.

When the group came here, Chen Chen first saw the X-48 test plane he picked up the day before, and in the hangar next to it, there was another large drone parked, with a length of more than ten meters and a wingspan of more than fifteen meters, which was similar in appearance to the test machine he saw the day before.

At the moment, many technicians are busy on the large drone, removing some shells and installing new ones, which seems to be improving the appearance.

"This is the real X-48 prototype, right?" Seeing this scene, Chen Chen immediately understood, and immediately turned his head to look at Victor: "And that small one, just a prototype used to test the surname?" ”

"Yes." Victor immediately replied in the affirmative: "The small prototype was originally intended to test the surname, and yesterday you pointed out the problem of the aerodynamic layout, and we immediately improved the prototype with reference to the prototype." ”

"I'll just say that the scale of the small prototype is simply not enough, and the bomb load cannot meet the requirements of actual combat." Chen Chen nodded knowingly, and stepped forward to take a closer look: "However, the current improvement is not perfect, there are still some problems, wait for the next test, and then further improve it when you get the data, for the time being." ”

"That's right!" Victor laughed: "I also asked Mr. Chen for more advice." ”

After a tour of the advanced technology and design center, Chen Chen pointed out some minor problems with the X-48, and Victor nodded again and again, and quickly asked his subordinates to record it.

The day passed quickly, and Harry gave another warm feast, and the group dispersed.

Then, it was the opening of the North American Military Industry Expo.

………… This expo is not important to Chen Chen, basically just taking this opportunity to have fun, so he slept comfortably, and when he came to the Montana exhibition site, it was already ten o'clock.

But that's fine, at least staggered the tedious opening ceremony, and you don't have to listen to a long story from a group of big names.

came to the main entrance of the venue and reported his name to the door guard, who immediately inquired about the list, found Chen Chen's name, and respectfully sent him into the venue.

And this time, the organizers are also very careful, specially set up a master of ceremonies at the entrance, but whenever a big person is present, he will make a loud announcement in order to create a momentum and show that this expo is world-class.

Therefore, the moment Chen Chen walked into the venue, the master of ceremonies announced loudly through the loudspeaker: "This expo is also honored to invite the person in charge of the pioneer company, Mr. Chen Chen, he has entered the venue!" ”

The introduction was immediately broadcast through the loudspeaker.

As a result, Chen Chen was immediately surrounded by a large group of media reporters waiting at the entrance.

"Mr. Chen, the pioneer company also participated in this expo, does it mean that the pioneer company intends to get involved in the military industry?"

"Mr. Chen, do you have any ideas for getting some orders when you come to the expo this time?"

"Mr. Chen, you promised at the press conference that you would not get involved in weapons development, and now you are here to participate in the expo, does that mean that you intend to deny your previous statement?"

Dozens of microphones were aimed at Chen Chen like dozens of guns, and all kinds of sharp questions covered like bullets, making Chen Chen's head big for a while, he really served these reporters, and he wanted to dig something out for you if he had nothing to do.

Under the headache, he simply kept his mouth shut and walked all the way to the venue by himself.

The whole venue was very vast, and the latest achievements displayed by various companies were densely stacked on the lawn, all kinds of fighters and tanks, as well as all kinds of dazzling light weapons, which almost dazzled Chen Chen's eyes.

It is worthy of being the world's largest military industry fair, which includes almost all kinds of products from major weapons manufacturers around the world, and even some conceptual weapons and equipment that represent the future development direction.

For example, one company has launched the concept of the future battlefield surnamed laser gun, of course, the light shot can only burn through a layer of cardboard.

Another company has launched a new type of combat robot, which is actually nothing more than changing the tank track to a six-legged one, and then putting a turret on it, which looks like a steel spider magnified countless times.

After watching it for a while, Chen Chen was a little bored.

These things may be very advanced in the real world, but compared to the technology of the plane prison, they are still far behind, not to mention anything else, just get a scythe mecha or an apocalypse tank by yourself, it is enough to make the people here collectively crazy.

Not to mention the mecha in the all-metal frenzy, if you get one out, it is estimated that it can scare all the people here to death.

When bored, he wandered around casually while looking for a booth at the pioneer company.

The reporters next to him were still unrelenting, still circling around Chen Chen, and even some TV reporters directly started to report on the scene: "We are at the site of the North American Military Industry Expo, and we saw that Chen Chen of the pioneer company also came to the scene, and he kept silent about the question of whether the pioneer company was involved in weapons manufacturing, which also gave us a lot of reverie......

Hearing this, Chen Chen just wanted to rush up and strangle the reporter to death!

Reverie? Send you to heaven and slowly reverie!

Forget it, let's hurry up and find a booth at the pioneer company.

Although I didn't care about this exhibition, I just participated in it to play, so I also thought that the booth of the pioneer company would be very shabby, but when I thought of shabby, I didn't expect it to be so shabby.

After looking for a long time, I finally saw the small booth of the pioneer company in a remote corner, sandwiched in the middle of a group of large booths, which seemed very inconspicuous, and no one cared about it, only one staff member sat in it and dozed off, and there were a few chip samples on the platform in front of him.
