0106: Sub-mother drone - the first version of the hive system (2)
h2> "Light! Solar energy! Seeing that the snow-white ceiling was plated with a faint layer of gold by the afterglow of the setting sun, Lin Chen clapped his legs and shouted.
At this time, it is summer, and the sunshine is very abundant during the day, as long as the solar cells are installed on the main body of the mother machine, so that the mother machine can be charged at any time during the day!
In this way, it can not only meet the working needs of the mother aircraft, but also be able to fly outside for a long time, carry out reconnaissance and monitoring work, and charge the child machine!
In this way, the mother aircraft can not only be used as a carrier for transporting sub-aircraft, but also play the role of a mobile charging station and a signal relay station, just like the aircraft carrier provides logistics support and command operations for fighters.
As long as the mother plane is quietly flown to the roof of the building where no one pays attention at night, or parked on the large advertising display board, and the arm is unfolded during the day, it is even more difficult to be seen.
"Amu, look for the best performing solar cells that can be bought online now." Lin Chen rubbed his thigh, which was slapped by himself, and said with a grin.
"A research centre under the Technical Technology Agency of Finland (VTT) has developed a flexible organic solar cell that can be produced on a large scale, which is not only electrically capable, but can also be made into any shape of the panel, and sprayed with a variety of color patterns using special pigments, which is extremely camouflaged." Amu was quick to reply to the message.
"Good stuff! Great stuff! Is this solar panel in stock? Lin Chen was pleasantly surprised.
"There are finished products for sale on the virtual shadow network. This kind of photovoltaic power system composed of flexible organic solar panels has an hourly electricity of 4oo per square meter, and the price of the electric system of one square panel is 1 phantom credit. And the merchant also said that according to the customer's requirements, the specified color or pattern can be sprayed on the battery board. ”
"Good! Good! Very good! Lin Chen moved his head slightly like a chicken pecking rice.
There is 4oo power per hour per square meter, which is completely enough for the use of drones.
Then Lin Chen lay on the sand, and with the cooperation of Amu, he began to design the modification plan he came up with for this sub-mother drone......
As the main body of the mother machine, the eight-rotor aerial photography remote control helicopter is a big road goods, and there are merchants selling it on major online shopping websites, and the price is not high, only 3,000 US dollars for a one.
In addition to the photovoltaic power system composed of flexible organic solar panels, the modification parts to be used by the mother machine also require many parts with different functions.
For example, the miniature dot matrix infrared camera lens, the miniature X-ray tube, and the miniature long-wave uncooled focal plane sensor (infrared thermal imager) used in holographic glasses need two each, so that the mother machine is equivalent to a holographic glasses that can be moved.
On this basis, Lin Chen felt that a set of miniature laser projection lenses should be installed like holographic glasses, so that the parent machine could project holograms at some necessary times.
After calculating, these little things will cost three phantom points, which is ten times more expensive than the main body of the drone!
On the contrary, the processing system, relay command system and signal relay module, although they are the most important functional components on the mother machine, can use ordinary and common road goods, so they are the part that costs the least money.
Dismantle a few tablets with better chip performance to form a digital processing system, and directly use the communication modules of the mobile phones he dismantled before for signal transmission.
Coupled with the modification of the belly compartment of the parent aircraft, etc., this part should only need about one or two thousand dollars to be done.
In this way, to modify a mother machine that barely achieved the effect he imagined, it would take a total of three phantom points and five thousand dollars, all converted into dollars to be thirty-five thousand dollars!
"Hiss~~" Lin Chen was taken aback by the cost he calculated, and couldn't help but twitch in pain, muttering: "This drone is really a thing that costs money!" Any change is worth a BMW sedan. ”
However, it wasn't until he got the modification plan of the small drone as a sub-aircraft that he was surprised to realize that the modification cost spent on the mother aircraft was not an exaggeration.
The main body of the small UAV is a miniature remote-controlled helicopter that is only half the size of a palm.
According to Lin Chen's idea, a set of lenses that are the same as holographic glasses should be installed on each sub-machine, including a miniature dot matrix infrared camera lens, a miniature long-wave uncooled focal plane sensor (infrared thermal imager), and a miniature laser projection lens.
The batteries on the handset are replaced with four miniature high-energy solid-state lithium-ion batteries, so that each handset is equivalent to a set of hologlasses that can fly for a long time.
It's just that the cost of such a machine is not cheap, Lin Chen just calculated in his heart, each modified part of the machine will use 4 phantom points!
As for the main body of the handset, the price is very cheap, only about a hundred dollars, so it can be omitted without calculations.
Although his modification plan is extremely crude, it is completely cobbled together from a bunch of ready-made equipment parts, and the overall technical content is not high.
But his current situation can only be like this, and he really doesn't have time to carry out fine processing and modification.
"Amu, how many Phantom Points do you have in your account now?" Lin Chen asked Amu weakly.
Whether his sub-mother drone can be modified and how many can be made depends on how many phantom points there are in Amu's small vault.
"3o points." Amu replied honestly.
"There are only 3o points~" Lin Chen reluctantly began to think about how to arrange and use these 3o points of phantom points.
, a shelf costs 4 phantom points.
With 3o phantom points, you can only get one mother machine and six child machines.
Lin Chen thought about it for a while, and felt that this kind of one-to-six matching scheme didn't seem to be very reasonable.
The mother plane is equivalent to an aircraft carrier, and the sub-aircraft is equivalent to the aircraft it loads, and the sub-aircraft is too small to fly long distances, and there is no way to take into account multiple targets at a long distance at the same time.
After all, Lin Chen came up with this set of sub-mother drones to help him monitor some worthy targets in different regions and different locations.
Although the cabin of the parent aircraft has been modified, it can easily fit ten or eight sub-aircraft.
However, considering that the targets that need to be monitored and reconnoitred may be far apart, Lin Chen divided the sub-mother UAV into two groups and got two mother planes, each of which had three sub-aircraft.
This makes it possible to track and monitor targets in two different places at the same time. r1152
