Old man Xiao Yizhan had been dealing with Shen Yiyi for a long time. In the whole process of research and development of paramotor, since Mr. Xiao participated, whether it was the intersection of creativity, the collision of inspiration, or even the exclamation of Shen Yiyi's creativity, Mr. Xiao's understanding of Shen Yiyi has a gradual and in-depth process. He intuitively sensed that Shen Yiyi's person was not like someone who came to him for such a trivial thing that could be done just by moving his mouth. Old Man Xiao was very curious, if Shen Yiyi had something that she thought she couldn't do so easily with her own ability, how important would it be?

Therefore, Old Man Xiao urged Shen Yiyi to tell the things she thought were not so easy to do, and not to have any worries. In Old Man Xiao's original words: "If you say it, I will naturally have judgment." If I really can't do it, I won't insist that I can. But I can still help you figure out a way to point out who you can ask to do it, and it will save you the effort of asking around for errands. Of course, it would be better if I could do it, and I would do it for you. ”

Shen Yiyi has actually been waiting for this sentence in his heart. As cunning as she was, she still played a cautious trick in front of Old Man Xiao. Even if it is indeed her asking for someone, it is still different from being asked to speak. The location of this station is different, and even the final result may be different.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Old Man Xiao actually knows this matter in his heart, but he is unwilling to worry about this matter with Shen Yiyi.

"That, Old Man Xiao. I wonder if you're familiar with the research units that study radar and coatings inside your system? As soon as Shen Yi opened his mouth, he directly threw out the question. The old man asked for something to say directly, and of course she did what the old man instructed her.

Old Man Xiao was a little surprised when he was asked about this. He didn't know when Shen Yiyi became interested in these things. Thinking about it later. Didn't this little girl not listen to her own request to study airplanes when she was in college, but went to the electronics department? Could it be that the little girl is interested in radar now?

"Why did you remember to ask this?" The old man still has to ask, after all, these two things are strictly speaking, they are quite sensitive things, "Do you want to study radar after graduation?" You're in a hurry, aren't you just a junior? It's time to contact your employer when you graduate. But...... What's going on with that paint? You don't study chemistry? ”

Shen Yiyi also admired the old man's imagination very much. She smiled slightly and denied, "No." Grandpa Xiao, I'm not going to study any radar. Of course, I don't know how to do any paints. My interest is not in either of those areas. I asked about these two units, but there was a recent project that might use these two parts. That's why I wanted to ask you in advance. ”

Old Man Xiao heard Shen Yiyi say this, and said that he understood: "Oh, that's the case." I thought you were thinking about what you'd do after graduation right now. It's best not to be a radar. I'm still sorry that you didn't do the business of designing airplanes. Although you didn't study aircraft design as an undergraduate. But I believe that there is no problem with your ability. When the time comes, I'll help you say a few words, and it's no problem to go to an aircraft design institute or something. ”

The old man babbled a bunch of things, expressing his pity that a genius like Shen Yiyi in aircraft design was not able to enter the aircraft-related major. However, Xiao Yizhan suddenly came back to his senses as he spoke. No, this little girl said that there is a project that uses radar and paint. Paint it. What kind of projects will use radar?

Xiao Yizhan's eyes lit up suddenly. The old man asked Shen Yiyi excitedly: "Hey...... What did you just say? You say there's a project that uses radar and paints? What kind of project is it? Is it possible that you are going to start doing that...... Drones? "At the end of the day. The old man's voice was a little broken.

Xiao Yizhan has no reason not to be excited. Since he stepped down from the position of official chief designer, although the young people in the unit still respect themselves as before, and ask him from time to time for some design points, Xiao Yizhan has kept the promise he made before retiring. He always shies away from answering everyone's answers directly. This is not to say that he has given up on the hobby of design, but that he does not want his existence to hinder the growth of young people. He didn't want to make those young people dependent and slow them off from going to work. At his insistence, the younger generation gradually came to him less often. And those new generation models were gradually developed with little involvement from him.

However, while trying to keep myself out of model development. In Xiao Yizhan's heart, the heart of exploration and practice of aviation science and technology has never given up. A career that I have struggled for most of my life. Where is it possible to say that you can throw it away? Therefore, when Xiao Yizhan found out that he could also find an aviation-related aircraft project outside the unit, his heart was of course very happy. Even if it was just a game for a high school girl and her grandson, wouldn't he be very interested in participating? By the way, he also abducted An Zhusheng, who had the same experience as himself.

Of course, after really investing in it, Xiao Yizhan realized that he had underestimated such a project at the beginning. Although it seemed to be a toy project like a model aircraft in the Children's Palace, after really starting the research, Xiao Yizhan found out that the female high school student and his grandson did not regard this as a child's play. They are seriously working on this design according to the design theory of the aircraft. Until the end of the work, in terms of flight performance, it was really good!

Through such a project, Xiao Yizhan and An Zhusheng are most fortunate to have discovered Shen Yiyi, a genius girl who, in their opinion, pins on the hope of the development of the Republic's aviation industry. In that year, they were also trying to pave the way for this talented girl to develop in the aviation industry in the future.

It's just that to their great regret, this girl did not enter the university with the strongest aviation major in the Republic in the end. Instead, he entered Tsinghua University. It's not enough to enter Tsinghua University, this little girl also gave up the department that was still a little related to aircraft design, and instead chose an electronics department. This made it a pity for the two old men. Slightly stunned.

It wasn't until later that Shen Yiyan looked at the drone project that she originally proposed and the two of them were also full of interest to run aground, and was indifferent to the fate of the project later. This made both old men think that this girl, whom they were unanimously optimistic about, had shifted her interest from the aviation career. She doesn't care about aviation anymore.

Such thoughts made the two old men even more disappointed. Even with them, they had an indisputable dissatisfaction with Shen Yiyi. Of course, relatively speaking, because his grandson is also studying in Beijing, Xiao Yizhan, who has a little intersection with Shen Yiyi, is still more lenient to Shen Yiyi. But anyway, Shen Yiyi hasn't called himself for so many years. Old Man Xiao will not take the initiative to find Shen Yiyi again.

It's just that after so long of disillusionment with drones, I suddenly heard Shen Yiyi mention to himself two technologies that are obviously applied to the aviation industry. Xiao Yizhan's first reaction was that Shen Yiyi already wanted to take over the drone project again.

In this way, whether it is for Mr. Xiao himself, who has not been burned with enthusiasm for a certain project for a long time, or for the return of a genius who was thought to have left the aviation career at the beginning. In Xiao Yizhan's opinion, it is enough news for people to raise a glass to celebrate.

Shen Yiyi faced Old Man Xiao's sudden inspiration and keen insight. She couldn't help but feel at a loss for a moment. However, she quickly adjusted herself and replied, "Well, it's actually going to be used for the drone project." However, it is still in the early stages of preparation. Xiao Lao, you also know that where real aircraft design can be started so easily. I'm a small business, and I don't have that much resources to support me. So now I can only do a research preparation and let everyone help to make a reserve of some major parts of the technology. ”

Old Man Xiao listened to Shen Yiyi's words and felt very relieved in his heart. He suddenly realized. It turns out that although Shen Yiyi has not produced any new aviation works over the years, in fact, her personal training has never stopped. Know how to break down a complex project into a number of sub-projects that are not so complex. And willing to take the time to make breakthroughs on some key sub-projects. In Mr. Xiao's view, he already has the basic qualities of a chief designer.

The chief designer doesn't need to know everything. Because today's science and technology have evolved to a stage where not one person can conquer the world. Various technologies have been developed to a certain depth. So specialization is an inevitable trend. The more important ability of the chief designer is to lead the overall situation and effectively grasp the overall situation. Because only then will it be possible for him to bring together all the people with specialized talents and to harmonize their talents with their work. Old Man Xiao was very happy to see that Shen Yiyi already had such an ability.

A drone, although it is not large in size, is often relatively small, but in terms of complexity, it is definitely not inferior to ordinary aircraft. Although the so-called sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs. Therefore, Xiao Yizhan, who has also been the chief designer of the aircraft, can fully understand the fact that Shen Yiyi said that the drone can not be started so easily. Even so, I am very pleased that Shen Yiyi has now begun to prepare for the restart of the drone project.

Xiao Yizhan nodded, indicating his acceptance of Shen Yiyi's statement. He said, "Okay." I know. You can rest assured, I still know a lot about the situation of these research institutions in China. I'll go around next month and help you with this. In principle, there should be no major problems. However, you need to prepare an outline of your research in advance, explaining what you want them to study, what the expected outcome is, and how long the research will take. Maybe they all have ready-made technical reserves and don't need to spend too much effort. When the time comes, you can really start it, and you can choose it directly. ”

For the kind of situation that Old Man Xiao said, Shen Yiyi really felt that it was possible. Because she actually doesn't know what level of domestic radar technology has developed. She also did not ask for state-of-the-art technical performance. Her philosophy of aircraft design is simple: it's just enough.

So Shen Yiyi nodded and said to Old Man Xiao, "It's not bad to be able to do that." But first, I want you to go around and find out. At least they should give me the interface to the signal so that it can be integrated with the control system. ”

Old Man Xiao expressed his acceptance of Shen Yiyi's statement. He said, "Yes." It's not bad to have this opportunity to chat with my old friends. Do you have anything else you want me to help with besides these two things? ”

In his heart, he still hopes to start the drone project as soon as possible. He's definitely going to get involved when the time comes. So the same is help, Old Man Xiao thought that if he could help solve a little more problem, he would solve a little problem.

Shen Yiyi shook his head: "No." In fact, I have already found someone to study other issues, and these two topics are better to rely on external forces. That's why I'm looking for you. ”

Old Man Xiao's comprehension is amazing. From Shen Yiyi's answer, he already knew. This girl seems to have amazing mobility. I made up my mind to restart the project, and I had already laid out everything that needed to be done. This shows that Shen Yiyi is very disciplined in doing things. When the paramotor project was carried out, because the system was not so complicated, although Shen Yiyi's outstanding management ability had been discovered, Mr. Xiao had not taken it very seriously. But this time, this drone, it is not much different from a normal aircraft project. Old Man Xiao found that Shen Yiyi's step was quite steady.

It seems that I am expected to join the drone project as soon as possible! Old Man Xiao thought with satisfaction.

"Yiyi, you're really good. I believe that your drone project will be restarted in two years. You have to remember that on the day of restarting, you must inform Grandpa Xiao and me. I'm definitely going to join this project. "I was afraid that Shen Yiyi would leave him behind at that time, and Xiao Yizhan began to give Shen Yiyi a preventive injection at this time. Of course, Shen Yiyi couldn't help but respond. However, Shen Yiyi disagreed with the old man's sentence of "restart within two years". She's planning to come up with the first drone prototype in two years! It's just that this news can't be said to the old man for the time being. (To be continued.) )
