Chapter 541: A Gang of Arms Dealers

"Of course, you still have to say it?" Xiao Chenxi glanced at Zhang Lan angrily, "But I can tell you, apart from this, there is not much we can do, such as aero engine manufacturing and other things that require precision machining, at best we can give you some advice, almost not much help." ”

"That's already good," Zhang Lan nodded, "It's not that I don't know what you're good at, I'm already very happy to be able to help with this." ”

It seems that she feels a little unbalanced that she always contributes by herself, Alice instigated Zhang Lan on the side, well, it can also be said to be a temptation, "This aspect is Brother Tian's specialty, why don't you let Brother Tian help you?" Well, didn't that asshole guy from the Red Spider just come here last month? It just so happens that this guy is not bad, so it would be good for him to do these jobs. ”

Hearing Alice say this, Zhang Lan really moved in his heart: Well, it does make sense, although the Xiao Chenxi clan and the Megatron clan are also proficient in electronics and mechanics, but the focus on the two planets is still different, Xiao Chenxi and Alice are stronger in electronics, while Brother Tian and Brother Pillar are better at mechanics.

However, it's up to you! Zhang Lan shook her head, dissipated the thought in her heart, and let them help in the places where she was not able to do it, even if she worked hard, and she could do it by herself. \//\ Also, I don't want to raise a bunch of rice worms to eat and drink in the company all day long and do nothing.

Varroga didn't know what his three bosses were whispering there, and naturally, since the three little bosses were whispering, they definitely didn't want to let themselves hear and look at their appearance. As if he hadn't told himself about his intentions, Varroga took a few steps back and waited quietly for his three bosses to bite their ears.

Seeing that the three little bosses had finished whispering and were looking at him, Valroga knew that it was time for him to do his work again.

"This is a multi-function display," Varroga said to Zhang Lan, Xiao Chenxi, and Alice as he pointed to the front display on the center console of the simulated aircraft in front of him. "It is a backup flight instrument, when the aircraft fails, the main display equipment fails, and even the onboard computer has problems, this emergency backup flight instrument can be used to display various key flight data information related to the flight, such as the aircraft's flight attitude, airspeed, flight altitude, heading and fuel consumption, etc. \///\\ It can be said that this instrument is the protector of pilots in critical moments. ”

"Well, of course, even then, we have to take into account the worst-case scenario: this monitor fails when the plane goes wrong!" As she spoke, Varroga pointed to the two monitors in front of her. "Therefore, the functions of these two displays can be interchanged, and there is another backup when one fails, so as to ensure the safety of the flight to the greatest extent."

"Indeed." Zhang Lan nodded, this function is indeed necessary, "You are very thoughtful, safety should be put first." However, will this lead to a lot of cost increases? ”

"The cost will go up a bit, but the increase is almost negligible relative to the whole plane," Varoga explained to Mr. Zhang's question. "In fact, the highest cost on an aircraft is the engine, followed by the on-board computer and radar equipment on the aircraft. In the communication, navigation and ADA software part, the cost of these safety equipment is not very much, that is, a few more lines are laid, and the cost of the entire aircraft will only rise by a few thousand dollars at most. \\\”

"A few thousand dollars up? Well, compared to the price of the whole aircraft, this increase is indeed negligible," Zhang Lan muttered, "It's just that if the time comes, I will give these planes the title of the safest aircraft." Seems to be able to sell for a higher price? ”

Think about airplanes, especially civilian aircraft, in the event of a breakdown and crash. The chances of survival of the crew on board are extremely small, so it can be calculated. What if it wasn't unacceptable to pay a little more for the sake of safety? Anyway, others don't know how much their costs have risen, and if they take this opportunity to increase the price of their products accordingly, it doesn't seem to be a difficult thing? Well, it shouldn't be difficult to increase the final selling price by 10%, right?

Zhang Lan, who had figured this out, finally nodded and said to Varoga, "Yes, this is a good point, continue to talk about it." ”

Hearing that this little ancestor did not cut off the design he was proud of, Varroga secretly breathed a sigh of relief, everyone is from the design of military combat aircraft, military combat aircraft have particularly high requirements for the safety of aircraft, and the habit of paying attention to safety has been cultivated over the years, so that when they are designing the work place, they consciously or unconsciously bring the previous work habits into the current design. \\\ When I look back and find this problem, I find that if I want to modify this problem, it may be much more expensive, but it is better to leave it at that.

"This is an auxiliary multi-function display," Varroga quietly turned his back to wipe his sweat, secretly glad that he hadn't been given a lot of K by his boss, "One of its functions is the electronic defense system display. It can display the plane view of the air and the ground and the range of its detector, and will send an alarm sound to the pilot when there may be a threat to the safety of the flight, so that the pilot can respond and avoid the possible threat to flight safety in a timely manner. For example, if the helicopter is flying too low and too fast, the pilot is likely to focus on the front and not notice the big trees, telephone poles or tall buildings on his side, this defense system can automatically alert the pilot, showing which side the danger is coming from, so that the pilot can take appropriate avoidance measures; In the case of a fixed-wing aircraft, when flying in bad weather conditions, clouds, dense fog, unfamiliar geographical conditions, etc., if the on-board detection radar finds that there is danger ahead, for example, a mountain in the dense fog that has not been detected by the pilot, the system will even alert the pilot to raise the flight altitude of the aircraft. \\\ If the pilot is unable to execute the correct operation instructions due to various emergencies, such as a little dazed because of a sudden emergency, then the flight control system on the aircraft will automatically temporarily take over the control of the aircraft, and then hand over the control of the aircraft to the pilot after avoiding danger. ”,

"This feature is good," Zhang Lan said in admiration. Although the current planes all have an early warning function, it seems that they are not capable of automatically avoiding dangers, and even the F/A-18E/F "Hornet" fighters, which are claimed to be the most technologically advanced third-generation fighters in the United States, do not have this automatic evasion function. "With the function, the safety hazards of flying are minimized."

Well, I just wonder if this system will one day suddenly go crazy like a human nervousness, suddenly take over control when the driver is flying well, and then crash into the mountain? Thinking of this possibility, Zhang Lan couldn't help but shudder, I hope this won't happen?

Hearing Zhang Lan say this, Valoga's face was red and white, as if he had opened a dye shop, but there was no serious color. Zhang Lan wondered in her heart: Hell, I obviously praised him and admired this guy's design, why did this guy have such an expression as if I was scolding his mother?

"This," Valroga said weakly for a long time, "This function still requires the ADA software designed by the two teachers and the cooperation of the general-purpose synthesis processor to work together, and the most important point is that the ADA software designed by the two teachers needs to be really intelligent to this extent." ”

"Holy!" This time, Zhang Lan finally couldn't help but scold: After doing it for a long time, it turned out to be another function that has no shadow? If it weren't for the fact that he knew the ability of Xiao Chenxi and Alice, and knew that these two girls could indeed do this, how much more money would he have to spend on this chicken-like thing? Well, but it's okay, since it's software designed by these two girls, you don't have to worry about the plane equipped with this thing not being able to hit the mountain or the ground.

After venting the sulk in her heart, Zhang Lan finally couldn't help asking, "What about the second function?" ”

"The second function of this function is the external object management system display. It can display information about the engine, remaining fuel in the aircraft's external fuel tank, and more. Probably because he felt that he was really a little embarrassed to make these things, and before Zhang Lan could continue to ask, Valroga immediately introduced Zhang Lan to the last, largest, and most important display, "This main multi-function display is actually a military-type tactical information display. A floor plan showing the tactical situation, including the track, positions on the ground, and the search range of the probes on board. The shape and color of the target symbol indicate the attributes of the threat, the characteristics of the target track, and the priority of the shot. Well, this function is prepared for the production of military aircraft by the company in the future, and the temporary function is similar to the function of the auxiliary function display. If you design a civil or commercial aircraft, you don't need to add this display and the supporting electronic system, and only use an auxiliary multi-function display, which can be regarded as a further cost reduction. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Lan smacked her tongue when she heard this: Damn, is this still the design idea of a civil or commercial aircraft? This is typical of the design idea of combat aircraft, just this design, plus a weapon fire control system and an ejection flight seat, can be directly pulled as a fighter flight control system. These guys, as expected, are from the design of military aircraft, and they are simply a bunch of arms dealers.
