Good news that Garfield and others knew.

Actually, there are three.

The first is that after intensive research, under the technical guidance of Li Qingye, the recently integrated Ministry of Military Industry has begun to have products.

Make use of the existing civil industrial chain system in East Asia and Southeast Asia, such as civil UAV enterprises, civil piston engine enterprises, civil electronic parts enterprises, etc.

The first "cruise missile" was quickly pieced together - the Typhoon-1 cruise missile.

Luzon, Visayas.

On the west coast of Panay, near the Nantu Mountains, there is a little-known town, Kurassi, which is backed by mountains and faces the Sulu Sea.

Just over half a month ago.

Homo sapiens is affiliated to the Ministry of Military Industry of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and has set up the 101 project here, and externally it is a pesticide aircraft manufacturing company invested by the company, which is called Flying Fish Aircraft Manufacturing Company.

In fact, the company does plan to import three drone production lines and two piston agricultural aircraft production lines from Huaguo.

At present, a small airport, a test site, and an assembly plant have been initially established here.

Inside the assembly plant of the Exocet Aircraft Manufacturing Company.

The chief engineer, Fang Bai, was recruited from Huaguo by the personnel department of Zhiren Company, and he was originally a complete machine integration engineer of DJI.

If it weren't for the Sapiens company offering a settling-in fee of 500,000 US dollars, as well as a one-stop family immigration service, plus a basic salary of 120,000 US dollars per year, he would not have immigrated to Luzon and built an airplane on this desert island.

However, after coming, he quickly adapted, mainly because there were many Chinese among his colleagues, including five fresh graduates this year, who had immigrated from China through technology.

Due to the fact that the situation was stated at the time of recruitment, there was some confidential technology within the company, so employees who were not of Luzon nationality were not accepted.

Don't look at the backward development of Luzon, the problem is that the involution of college students in Huaguo is very serious.

It's easy to find a job, such as going to the construction site to move bricks, and working hard is 10,000 yuan a month.

The problem is that if a college student who graduated from 211 moves bricks, even if the college student himself is willing, it is estimated that his parents and the people around him will secretly make irresponsible remarks.

Therefore, the personnel department of Homo sapiens company specially went to Huaguo to poach people, anyway, millions of graduates every year, there are always people who are willing to come to Luzon for money.

Many of Fang Bai's subordinates came over like this.

Of course, because the Flying Fish Company involves a lot of secrets, the employees will be further screened, and the employees who are arranged to the Flying Fish Company are basically the whole family in the controlled area of the Homo Sapiens Company.

Fang Bai looked at the unmanned aircraft using the motorcycle piston engine as the core on the assembly line, and his face was a little weird.

More than a dozen mechanics are busy around the plane.

He turned his head and whispered, "Manager Paul, is this too much?" It is estimated that in two or three times there will be problems. ”

Paul didn't care: "It doesn't matter, two or three flights are enough." ”

"Two or three times?" Fang Bai is not a fool, as soon as he hears this standard, he knows that this kind of drone is most likely a fast-moving consumer product.

The question is, which business or organization will surpass this disposable drone?

The answer is obvious.

The Typhoon 1 drone, with a body length of 4.6 meters and a wingspan of 3 meters, is equipped with a turbocharged gasoline piston engine, which can reach a maximum flight speed of 531 kilometers per hour and a cruising speed of 360 kilometers per hour.

It has a maximum flight radius of 1,200 km (one way) and a flight radius of about 300 km when carrying a 100 kg load.

Fangbai's design is in accordance with the company's requirements, that is, as cheap as possible, civilian parts can be used, civilian parts can be used as much as possible, and the cheaper the better.

Now this Typhoon 1 drone, according to his experience, if it is mass-produced, it is estimated that the production cost of each unit will not exceed 3,000 US dollars.

Of course, he didn't know the cost of the intelligent control system of this kind of drone, so the cost of this aspect is not easy to estimate, and the cost of the load part is not calculated.

But even so, the cost of 3,000 US dollars is extremely cheap, and it is only the cost of a dozen motorcycles.

"When will the low-altitude flight tests start?" ”

"After a week, we have 10 prototypes ready for a lot of testing, but what about the programmers?" Fang Bai reminded.

Paul was confident: "Don't worry! We intend to contract this part of the work to Spirochetes. ”

"Will it be leaked?" Fang Bai knew the degree of confidentiality within the company, and if there was a leak, they would be very troublesome.

Paul replied calmly, "The Spiral Company is also a subsidiary of Homo sapiens, and the level of secrecy is higher than ours. ”

"I see." Fang Bai suddenly understood.

Fang Bai, who used to work at DJI, knows very well that the core of drone technology is actually sensors, chips and control programs.

In his eyes, other parts of the Flying Fish Company are purchased, but the sensors, chips and control programs are their own.

The first time he came into contact with that set of chips and sensors, he almost dropped his jaw.

Because the performance of that chip is too powerful, the floating point computing power reaches 3 gigabits per second, with a storage capacity of 500T, which is almost a small supercomputer.

The advantage of such a terrifying computing power is that the control accuracy of the drone is very high, the response speed is very fast, as long as a set of appropriate control programs is installed, many difficult control tasks can be easily done.

This is like Musk's Falcon rocket, the engine technology it uses is not advanced, but with super chip technology, it has completed the parallel control of a large number of engines.

The chip technology of Homo sapiens is an order of magnitude stronger than the electronic chips currently on the market.

A biochip the size of a fingernail can achieve 3 gigabits per second of floating-point computing power, and also has a storage capacity of 500T, as well as ultra-low energy consumption.

Fang Bai knew that with the support of this computing power, the potential of the Typhoon drone was absolutely huge.

The ultra-low-altitude cruise and low-energy flight, which he thought were impossible, can be squeezed to the extreme through the violent support of computing power.

Don't look at the Typhoon-1 drone, the maximum flight radius is only 1200 kilometers.

In fact, there is a very large waste of power, and it is completely possible to constantly adjust the flight posture to detect the airflow, temperature, and wind speed in the surrounding airspace, so that the drone can obtain a flight effect similar to that of an unpowered glider.

At present, human-controlled gliders can fly up to a distance of more than 2,000 kilometers.

Wearing a Typhoon drone with a small supercomputer, will it lose to humans?

As long as there are enough flight tests, plus data from wind tunnel tests, and data from computer simulations, Typhoon drones can definitely fly farther than human-controlled gliders.

As for the problem of flying at a low altitude, ultra-low altitude and stealth coating can solve the problem, as long as it is not discovered by the other party, there is no problem in flying slowly.

What's more, Fang Bai also has a solution to the speed, that is, before the target is solved, the Typhoon drone adopts a vulgar gliding mode, and when it approaches the target's booking range, it quickly switches to the rapid sprint mode to squeeze the power of the engine at any cost.

Anyway, he already knows the company's thoughts, the Typhoon drone is a disposable, and if he doesn't squeeze the power of the engine crazily, will he still keep it for the New Year?

It's just that he was a little worried in his heart, and he didn't know the purpose of Homo sapiens in developing this kind of thing, after all, the relationship between Luzon and America was somewhat complicated.
