Chapter 327 Difference in Philosophy
As soon as I got home, I heard Kiki's screams and cries. Curious glance, it turned out that the kid had been
"Tragically poisoned", he was picked up by the three women in the family and thrown directly into the bath. But as soon as he entered the water, the stinky boy immediately came back to life on the spot.
While attacking the surrounding splashes,aside
"Giggles" and laughs non-stop...... Wiping a handful of water droplets on her face, Zhang Zhen smiled and scolded a few doting words. looked up and suddenly saw Li Yuan: "Hey, why did you come back so early?" ”
"I bought some haggis and cooked mutton." Li Yuan said casually,
"I just met a stubborn old man and had a fight with him."
"Why are you arguing?" Gu Yuqin asked strangely. was caught off guard and was sprayed in the face by his son again.
"Don't mention it. The old man was already stunned. I want a civilian drone, and he just wants to improve performance. I'm not ready to fight aliens, why do you want such good performance? It's all about cost! Cost ...... "At the meal just now, Li Yuan and Peng Guolian broke up unhappily.
The main thing is that the conceptual gap between the two sides is too big. According to Peng Guolian's inherent thinking, UAVs are, of course, military equipment.
In fact...... This is also true. Including the later DJI and other civilian drones, they also have a wide range of uses in the military.
Of course, there are also professional models of military drones. In the military aspect, it is more prominent, the performance is better, and the construction is more expensive.
However, as long as it comes to the concept of military, then the money will go to sea. As soon as the cannon goes off, the gold is ten thousand taels, this sentence is not an exaggeration.
Especially according to the existing technology, that is, the early 90s, the existing theoretical foundation and technical reserves, what Li Yuan said is possible to break through.
What does that mean? Contrary to what most people understand, the scientific community is not worried about anything – which new peak to climb!
It's - there are so many peaks, which one should we climb? To put it bluntly, which tech tree should I click on?
Let's take a simple example! GpS positioning system. The principle is quite simple, isn't that three-point positioning?
In other words, launching satellites is so expensive, why don't we build positioning stations on the ground? To put it mildly, the maximum accuracy difference is a few meters, tens of meters, anyway, in order to throw mushrooms and lonely clouds, what does it matter if it is tens of meters away?
At the beginning, no one could judge the advantages of the satellite positioning system, so they never clicked on this technology tree.
If it weren't for the frantic arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War, in order to provide a backup for missile navigation, perhaps it would not have appeared at all.
But even so, only Eagle Sauce had a lot of money, and finally got that GpS system. But then came the Gulf War.
The whole world was amazed to find out: hey, it can also be used on cruise missiles! And with the opening of civilian signals, it began to frantically click on the rear technology tree - vehicle positioning, personal positioning, electronic map, driving navigation...... In the end, a huge market for satellite positioning was born.
And click on a huge branching tech tree. But in other words, in the beginning, who would have known that?
In other words, if there was no Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, perhaps there would have been no satellite positioning system until now. The same is true for putting it here.
According to Peng Guolian's idea: arrange all those high-tech sub-projects and build a drone that drags cool and bombs the sky.
Anyway, it is not his own and the country's money that is spent, even if Li Yuan is unlucky, he will never feel distressed when he spends his money.
And Li Yuan's thoughts: he is ready to take the road of DJI. What is the DJI road? To put it simply, it's to build a flying camera!
Right! That's right! DJI is a flying camera, or rather, a flying camera. I don't think about any other functions at all, I only think about how to fly into the air and shoot well, shoot steadily, everything else is a floating cloud!
Interestingly, because of the clear goal, DJI has been able to continuously invest in scientific research in this field, that is, to constantly click on the technology tree of this category.
And there is no need to care about other impacts, you can reduce the cost as much as possible in every link, and completely reduce the price of cabbage for drones.
Of course, a prototype based on a flight camera can be developed with a wide range of functions in the future. You can go to the dense forest to track the roll, or you can throw a piece of on the head of the girls' dormitory...... It's up to your own brains anyway.
However, after listening to Li Yuan's train of thought, Peng Guolian was not happy - you, a little rabbit cub, either don't make drones, or do it well.
Is it necessary to get a broken model airplane to take pictures? At the very least, consider practicality, such as...... Ahem, the troops should be happy anyway.
Li Yuan directly retorted - you old immortal. I have long said that it is civilian, and what the troops think is none of my business?
Because the function is simple, at least it is cheap! Let's just say that the existing technology has no high-performance batteries, no flight control systems, no satellite navigation, no cameras, and no real-time transmission technology...... So if you can't fly a few kilometers, can you fly a few hundred meters?
Complex flight can't be achieved without a flight control system? Then fly in a straight line and fly back in a straight line, can this be done?
Don't have a sat nav? That's inertial navigation. It's impossible to fall far away from a distance of a few hundred meters, right?
Don't have a digital camera? Then simply install an optical camera and take a picture every few seconds, regardless of what he is taking.
As for the absence of real-time transmission technology? Isn't it just to get the film back and then go to print? We do not consider complex environments such as battlefields, extreme weather such as heavy storms and rains, complex remote-controlled flights, and other functions of drones...... Such a drone, if large-scale industrial production is realized, can be made for 1,000 yuan.
If you add the camera, it's up to 2 to 3,000 pieces! And it's also a soft girl coin! Not surprisingly, Mr. Peng scoffed - something like you is useless, who knows what you shoot?
Is faith taking pictures? As long as you add this ...... and that ......, maybe there will be some demand.
Li Yuan is also disdainful - to achieve your request, the scientific research funds will start from several million, and the manufacturing cost will be at least more than 100,000 yuan!
And now I only need tens of thousands of dollars! It is nothing more than the integration of the existing mature technology, and even the domestic can be satisfied.
The product also only costs a few thousand dollars. As long as it's an individual, you can afford it. What's the use of not being able to afford it?
It's useless! Isn't a few thousand dollars money? How is it useless? I thought it was fun.
You're a loser! Tell you about this little soul - no matter what kind of aircraft it is, the technical advantage is the most important thing!
Shh Do you understand quantitative change to qualitative change? You have a reconnaissance battalion, just wait for the aerial reconnaissance in the sky! I have a few drones in each class here, isn't it just a few thousand dollars a piece?
Phew! Do you know how to fight? Isn't that just waiting for the enemy to find out? And anti-aircraft guns can shoot down several with a shuttle, can they be used for a fart?
Do you understand? Cheap is king! What do you find? I'm flying hundreds or thousands of planes in the sky at once, how can you fight?
As soon as one is missed, our aircraft artillery will come over. And if a civilian factory produces it casually, there are tens of thousands of planes?
Spit can drown you old soul! Hey, hey, labor and management have traveled more roads than you have eaten, are you a little rabbit cub who is smarter than all of us?
Old man, the world has changed! You are stubbornly conservative backward elements! I'll just barely save you!
Get lost! Depend on! …… An old man and a young man quarreled on the spot. But that didn't stop the two of them from sweeping away the food and drink.
It's really a difference in philosophy. Generally speaking, in any country in the world, including the domestic before, it was converted from military to civilian.
Because the cost of scientific research is too high, it will be invested by the military regardless of the cost. Otherwise, the people simply cannot afford it.
There is an economic formula here, but I won't go into details. But the key is the size of a private market.
Quite simply, if the private market is large, private enterprises will take the initiative to invest funds. There is no need for centralized investment from the state.
For example: military toothbrushes and toothpaste? Is it necessary for the military to invest in research and development? Private procurement is enough.
But the toothbrush toothpaste used by astronauts? Then it is necessary to consider the state of weightlessness, which will definitely require the state to invest resources in research.
But there is a problem here - the economic formula mentioned above is actually an empirical formula, and the real market size is the developed countries of Europe and the United States, plus Japan and South Korea, and at most tens of millions of high-level people in third world countries.
However, no one thought that later joined a freak like China, where the market of 1.4 billion people actually exceeded the previous market of more than 1 billion people?
Obviously, under this huge shock, the previous empirical formulas will be seriously distorted.
What is even more terrifying is that China's economic development is extremely astonishing, as if in the blink of an eye, such a behemoth suddenly appeared.
There is no time for people to react. So why introduce these? Placed here, dual-use products like drones, or in other words, mainly military goods, are generally led by the military in research and development.
The private sector simply cannot afford such R&D costs. Otherwise just make a model airplane toy? The market is too small.
Unless a certain performance is upgraded to military grade. However, with the entry of the Chinese market, the market size is equal to multiplication, and it has suddenly been lowered to the level of toothbrush and toothpaste?
Instead, it became civilian first, and then military? Is this the case in the original historical line?
Ignoring the drone project in the lab, it seems that overnight, how can DJI inexplicably sell well all over the world?
With the popularity of DJI all over the world, it seems that overnight, there are a large number of military drone models in various countries?
Of course, there is also an element of rapid technological development. However, the drastic changes in the market have led to a very strange situation of civilian use first and then military use.
In fact, in the process of domestic rise, such situations continue to appear. Anyway, it's a dragon who pretends to be forced to slap his face!
In fact, this is not taking into account the horror of the Chinese market! Are those Westerners doing it wrong? Based on their previous experience, they certainly did nothing wrong.
Because it is not cost-effective for any third world country to develop independently. You can only honestly accept the high price.
But they are unlucky to meet a freak like China. We have enough market, and it is very cost-effective for us to develop independently!
One person has a market of more than 1 billion people in his head, and another is a large market of 2.4 billion people ready to be developed?
If the physical education teacher has taught it, a simple calculation, of course, can be made into the price of cabbage! So how could an old man and a young man not quarrel?
One is still an old concept - civilian UAVs have no future. Li Yuan has long been accustomed to the big market of 2.4 billion - this market is a sea of stars?
…… But then again, quarrels are quarrels, and Mr. Peng is still quite reliable, and he reluctantly agreed to make ...... Model airplanes.
But the stinky temper of that stubborn old man? With an old-fashioned and bad attitude, Li Yuan was still indignant: "Mom, Qinqin, you say it with your conscience, is what I said reasonable?" "A few women are looking at each other, who can understand this thing?
A moment of model airplanes? A moment for a drone? It's nothing more than a man whining, and it's not that he hasn't heard it before.
Anyway, men are just donkeys, so just coax them when the time comes.
"Fate." Zhang Zhen asked cautiously,
"What kind of drone are yours, is it a toy for babies? Wouldn't that be nice? ”
"Poof!" Li Yuan almost had a mouthful of old blood. What I just said was in vain. Li Yunyun grinned and said, "Brother! I also think it's funny. When the time comes, fly into the air and take pictures, and don't forget to call me along. Is it you shooting in the sky? How do you shoot it? ”
......Seeing Li Yuan's unhappy face, Gu Yuqin's eyes rolled, and she suddenly became anxious: "Mom, Yunyun, help together, Qiqi should be cleaned." Hearing another scream and cry, Kiki took it out of the bathtub and wrapped it in a large bath towel.
Several women moved skillfully, wiped Qiqi clean, and finally handed it over to Li Yunyun's hands, Li Yunyun ran to the bedroom with Qiqi in his arms, Qiqi struggled helplessly: "Wow...... Hemp! Ma Ma Ma ......" The whole family was stunned for a moment, and then Zhang Zhen jumped up with joy: "Eh, my good grandson can speak?" Hurry up! A few more shouts. ”
"Mama...... Hemp, ......ahhh Hemp ......"
"......" in the blink of an eye, leaving only Li Yuan messy in the wind......
