Chapter 57: The Wind is Born
Li Chunfeng heard the alarm, and then realized that he was playing high and had no power.
That's right, this accompanying combat drone is electrically driven and solar-charged, so the noise belongs to the silent level in the battlefield environment.
It is a four-ducted rotor drone, which is generally used by small drones, but this drone is actually medium-sized.
But it still has good performance, its endurance is 15 hours, the longest flight distance is 2500 kilometers, the maximum speed is 180 kilometers per hour, the maximum flight altitude is 5000 meters, and the maximum combat radius is 160 kilometers (affected by the range of the line-of-sight datalink).
The armament is equipped with a caseless machine gun, with a reserve of 1,000 rounds, and can carry four 20-kilogram bombs or two 50-kilogram air-to-surface missiles under the fuselage.
It is indeed a good fire support platform for a platoon. The research and development of domestic military drones still makes me shine.
It's just that now, the drone is about to run out of power, and Li Chunfeng steered the drone to fly towards a nearby mountaintop.
At this time, the sun has risen, today is a good weather, since the drone is solar-charged, then find a place for it to bask in the sun.
Soon Li Chunfeng found a relatively flat place on the top of the mountain and controlled the drone to land.
Then Li Chunfeng went to check the local weather conditions, if it rained or cloudy, then the drone was estimated to be unable to charge.
Fortunately, the weather conditions in this vicinity are not bad, and Li Chunfeng estimates that after a day, it should be full, and then fly directly back to Haidu for a long distance.
Fortunately, this drone has the "Ziwei" navigation system, so that he can continue to control it after the Skyhawk team evacuates, otherwise he will not be able to pick up this drone.
Why not give it back to the Skyhawk Squad?
At this time, the Sky Eagle team had quickly evacuated, and team member Zhao Chong was seriously injured, and if he was not treated in time, he was afraid that his leg would not be saved.
As for the loss of the drone, it can only be regarded as normal battle damage, after all, the mission requires that it is not allowed to cross the border, so the Skyhawk team said that there is no way to recover the drone.
Seeing that the head of the Skyhawk team left without looking back, he had no intention of crossing the border to find the drone, and Li Chunfeng could only watch them leave.
It's boring to sit and wait for the drone to charge, and of course Li Chunfeng won't do it.
By coincidence, this drone became its first drone to conduct actual combat. And coincidentally, its basic characteristics are very similar to the drone of its own design.
The various experiences in the actual combat just now have left indelible traces in Li Chunfeng's heart, and he must hurry up to add these insights to his virtual reality world.
In a certain test environment of the virtual world, the drones designed and developed by themselves are being abused in various ways, and after the new perception is added, all kinds of abuse are raised to a new level.
Li Chunfeng designed a drone for himself and named it "Hurricane".
The "Hurricane" UAV also uses the battery to drive the motor, and it also adopts the four-duct rotor, but the shape is more sci-fi, the whole is a diamond-shaped with a long front and a short back, the edging is an arc streamlined, and the four-ducted rotor is distributed in a diamond shape.
Because of the supermagnet graphene battery, the "Hurricane" UAV has a strong guarantee of time in the air, and the body size is slightly smaller than this military UAV, with a head and tail length of only 2.3 meters and a left and right wingspan of 1.6 meters.
Its ability to stay in the air reaches an astonishing 24 hours, the flight speed reaches 500 km / h, the empty weight is 350 kg, the maximum load capacity is 1200 kg, and the maximum flight altitude is 8000 meters.
The reason why the "Hurricane" is so fast is that Li Chunfeng added a jet particle engine to its tail and used electromagnetic acceleration.
It is also the first speed of the drone, which is why it is called "Hurricane".
The key is that because of the use of supermagnet graphene batteries, the charging time after landing is only three minutes before it can be lifted off again, if you develop a wireless charging drone and continue to charge, the drone will never fall.
The "Hurricane" also has a camera function comparable to that of a satellite, and can shoot high-definition images of 10 centimeters above the ground at an altitude of 8,000 meters.
Because the body is made of super-magnetic carbon fiber material, it is very strong and can completely resist high-altitude winds, without worrying about being torn apart.
In order to deal with the potential violence, Li Chunfeng did not equip it with weapons, but he also equipped it with an electromagnetic acceleration nail gun, just like an air nail gun, but with electromagnetic acceleration.
This already has the rudiments of electromagnetic weapons, and if the electromagnetic acceleration is made larger, it will basically reach the rate of fire of a Gauss rifle.
Li Chunfeng's current research level in the field of electromagnetism is the world's first, and he is ready to start developing new supermagnetic superconducting materials after the UAV enters the production process.
It is believed that once there is a breakthrough, the use of superconducting motors will maximize the utilization rate of electricity, and at the same time lay the foundation for the manufacture of robots in the future.
At present, the A area of the factory is connected to the simple dock, and the back door of the warehouse facing the sea has been completely renovated, and the area in A is the area where the drone is assembled.
In this way, it is difficult for ordinary people to see the drone rise into the air, which plays a certain hidden role.
Li Chunfeng found that the use of super-magnetic carbon fiber materials, and the addition of super-magnetic graphene film to the outer layer, the "Hurricane" UAV has the effect of radar stealth.
This supermagnetic graphene film actually completely absorbs radar waves, thinking that radar waves are also electromagnetic waves, then under the action of ultra-micro magnetic field, graphene films can indeed absorb radar waves 100%.
With this radar full stealth function, Li Chunfeng plans to trial produce it, after all, if you fly a drone in China, you need a series of qualifications, and you have to apply for airspace and so on in advance, otherwise it is illegal.
Now that the radar can be invisible, then the night release will not worry about being discovered, has its own intelligent control technology, and is not worried about causing trouble to military and civil aviation, so Li Chunfeng plans to trial production.
In addition, in order to be able to use it during the day, Li Chunfeng has already started to choose a visual stealth technology from the corresponding technical data.
In fact, it cannot be said to be invisible, but a full-dimensional holographic projection is carried out on the surface of the invisible object, which deceives human vision and allows people to see the scenery behind the object, so as to play an invisible role in the actual target.
Because this technology requires super artificial intelligence to perform picosecond calculations, it must wait until its new chip is produced before it can be manufactured.
Li Chunfeng tested the "Hurricane" drone again in the virtual reality world, and then arranged for the factory in Area C to start trial production of parts.
And at this time, after the warm kiss of the sun at noon, the charging of the military drone was finally completed. So Li Chunfeng manipulated it to take off again.
Through calculations, Li Chunfeng arranged a route for the drone, so that the weather in the areas where the flight route passed was fine.
At the same time, it is necessary to fly at ultra-low altitude to evade radar, Li Chunfeng does not think that in the face of a large country's perfect air defense network, if this drone is detected by radar, it can escape the fate of being shot down.
For Li Chunfeng, it is worth learning about this drone is its material and solar charging device, because Li Chunfeng found that its solar conversion efficiency reaches 20%, which is higher than the known existing products.
Although Li Chunfeng also has a lot of solar energy conversion technology in his hands, the best laboratory samples are only 30%, so this drone is still quite valuable.
After Li Chunfeng arranged the flight route of the drone to return to Haidu, he also deliberately handed it over to the No. 4 supervision of the Tianyan system, allowing temporary disposal in case of a situation.
Then he is ready to continue his own research and development, as for the "Hurricane" drone, it is expected that by the evening, all parts will be produced, and the assembly will be good.
With the intervention of No. 2 in the factory, the production process was more orderly and reasonable, which made the "Hurricane" drone, which was originally thought to be carried out at night, enter the assembly in the evening.
Soon, a very sci-fi shape, sharp point, the whole has an outer arc, four strong ducted electromagnetic rotors provide strong lift, and provide driving force in all directions at a certain inclination, so that the drone has strong mobility.
The most amazing thing is the electromagnetic injection engine at the rear, which is a strong guarantee that it can fly up to 500 km/h.
The entire fuselage is not painted, but the ink color of the super-magnetic carbon fiber itself, which looks like a kind of cold killing.
Although Li Chunfeng has seen it countless times in the virtual reality world and manipulated it countless times, the feeling of really seeing the real thing still makes Li Chunfeng inexplicably excited.
In a flash, the "Hurricane" drone was powered on, and then a series of self-tests began. The voice system that comes with the "Hurricane" drone begins to speak.
"The power system is normal."
"The rotor engine is fine."
"The super-magnetic jet engine is normal."
"The surround view system is normal."
"The navigation system is fine."
……
After the self-inspection of each item was completed, the "Hurricane" drone spoke again, "Hurricane-1 is ready, requesting permission to take off." ”
Li Chunfeng was a little inexplicably excited in his heart, and gave the order to take off.
Immediately, the "Hurricane One" began to slide out of the gate, and then the four rotor engines were exerted, and the fuselage rose steadily in the night sky.
When it reached a height of 20 meters, Li Chunfeng controlled it, started the super-magnetic jet engine at the tail, and a powerful impetus came, and the "Hurricane No. 1" flew away from the factory in a blink of an eye and entered the sky over the sea.
