Spacious airport, blue sky. In the gentle breeze, a four-rotor drone slowly soared in the air under the remote control of the ground personnel......

Li Yuan yawned listlessly. Just this kind of? There is no practicality at all?

Peng Guolian on the side asked, "Yuanzi, how is it? You give your opinions."

Li Yuan squinted his eyes: "It's good to be a toy for my son."

"Isn't that what you asked? Know how much new technology is inside? Look at that remote control ......."

"Okay." Li Yuan hurriedly interrupted, "I know, at least I can fly, the outer shell is considered to have passed, and now it is the equipment inside."

"Actually, we've zoomed in a lot, and we can set up the smallest camera. The most troublesome thing is focusing. I should study it."

"......" Li Yuan didn't bother to speak anymore. Now this kind of optical camera and video camera, this is like this, can it be compared to the digital equipment of the future?

Seeing Li Yuan, he yawned again. Old man Peng was not happy: "Hey, Yuanzi. Tell you, the model of the aircraft is not arbitrary, and practicality should be taken into account. That's just enough for two grenades."

Li Yuan: →_→

Are you men, women, and children, all soldiers? Make no mistake! I'm a civilian drone!

While he was talking, the drone had slowly landed, and several technicians put it away.

Deputy Director Niu led Yuan Gong and them over. He smiled and asked, "Xiao Li, what do you think?" Is there anything that needs to be changed? The only downside now is power consumption. This battery only lasts less than 20 minutes."

"It's good, it's good." In front of Cheng Fei and these people, Li Yuan was still relatively polite. After all, they have already made drones, and as for those functions inside, the technology has not yet broken through.

"You're welcome, give us advice, and we can improve."

"Ugh...... Then I'll have someone research on high-performance batteries!"

Yuan Gong on the side smiled, "Actually, it's not necessary for too long. We can only remotely control up to 100 meters. No matter how far it goes, it's not necessary."

"100 meters? Can't it go any further? Isn't it possible to control the signal remotely?"

"The remote control signal is fine. It's nothing more than the receiver to make it bigger. But 100 meters away, you can't see it with the naked eye?"

「……」

Li Yuan was speechless. He thought for a moment, "Yuan Gong, can you just fly in a straight line? We don't care about other mobile remote control or anything, it's just a straight line. Calculate the flight time, and then turn around and come back?"

"......?" Yuan Gong hesitated a little, "This performance is too simple, right?"

"It's a single performance, but it's cheap, right?"

"You're here." Peng Guolian said impatiently, "Do you know the cost performance? If the performance is single, the other functions cannot be realized, and everything is in vain."

"Do you understand? The drone sea is king! Features can be added slowly, but they must be cheap. What's the use of your military factories bothering to produce 100 planes? As soon as the assembly line of our civil plant was opened, it was 100,000 or 200,000 aircraft. There's no need to throw bombs at all, throwing can drown you......

「……」

It's the third day of the experiment. The people around have long been accustomed to the bickering of the old and the young.

Deputy Director Niu was a little strange: "Xiao Li, I found that you are very optimistic about drones? What exactly does it do? Can you introduce me. Oh, it doesn't matter if you're wrong, we'll just talk."

Li Yuan said with a smile. Just say your military words. In fact, proper amplification can replace some of the functions of Wuzhi and ground attack aircraft. You'll be able to avoid a lot of detours."

"Really?" Deputy Director Niu asked uncertainly, "It's better for someone to operate than no one, right?" And it's too high-tech, isn't it?"

"Hey! Is it okay to use remote control? There is no need to consider the complex environment of the battlefield, as long as there is a place where it can be applied. Isn't it a substitute part? Besides, if the quantity is enough and the price is cheap, it is also cost-effective to exchange several for one. Besides, what about pilots? How expensive is a qualified pilot? But we're now

Just need to develop a similar game, fight monsters or something, every child has been playing since childhood. When the time comes to war, on the one hand, the factory assembly line will not stop production, and on the other hand, these people can replace the pilots. And they don't even need training, and they're all proficient?"

"Huh! Xiao Li's idea is feasible." Yuan Gong agreed.

"Since it's feasible, can you get some research funding?"

The crowd laughed. Peng Guolian scolded with a smile: "You are an iron rooster who doesn't pull out a hair?"

"Alas——! Li Yuan shrugged, "I'm going to die of worry. Do you know how many sub-projects there will be in the future? Which sub-project doesn't require burning money?"

"Xiao Li, are you really going to be civilian?"

"Really." Li Yuan shook his head helplessly.

"You know a lot, then? Do you even know that?"

Li Yuan rolled his eyes in his heart. Later, netizens who mixed up with military forums, which one doesn't know this? And there are actually sand withering netizens who pay special attention to those teachers who starred in the small movie, they don't have hemorrhoids? (laughs and cries)

"Director Niu, why don't you do this for the time being? We continue to keep in touch? Continue to work together in the future?"

"Good. Continue to work together." Deputy Director Niu is not dissatisfied, after all, there is cooperation with other civilian supplies.

"Then pack it up, and I'll take it."

"Eh, what's the use of you taking it away?" Peng Guolian on the side stopped.

"Play with my son?"

"It won't work! There's something secret about it."

"! Old man, I've been putting up with you for a long time, right?"

"Huh. Let's keep it! Everybody's at ease."

"!"

……

When Li Yuan finally returned home, he finally got good news - Li Lanlan's winter vacation had ended, and she had gone back to school to do the final sprint for the college entrance examination......

"This annoying spirit is finally gone. She's very obedient this time, huh?" Li Yuanle took Gu Yuqin's hot tea.

Gu Yuqin "eats" and laughs non-stop: "Lan Lan was driven away by her mother. She and Yunyun were beaten up by their mother!"

"Huh? Why?"

"That's it...... Well, isn't it Professor Shin? They went straight to ask Mom. Hee-hee-hee."

Li Yuan: →_→

My daughter-in-law is also very uneasy!

"Yuanzi, sue you. I look at my mother's attitude, she looks like she is angry! Uh-huh!"

Finding that Gu Yuqin looked forward to it, Li Yuan almost didn't turn his back on it: "Qinqin, do you want me to ask my mother again?"

"Uh-huh!" Gu Yuqin nodded resolutely.

"What if Mom beats me too?"

"You won't hurt anyway. I can't even beat you. Hmm."

"Just to satisfy your gossip?"

"Uh-huh."

"Then why don't I ask?"

"Huh?" Gu Yuqin glanced at Li Yuan with that "you dare" look.

At this moment, I suddenly heard Zhang Zhen shouting, "Baby, the omelette is ready, come and eat!" It's not you, don't move. Your dad is a big baby, and you're a little baby."

Li Yuan walked into the restaurant with a smile and saw that Qiqi was already able to stand up with the leg of the table, screaming "wow wow" while anxiously wanting to climb onto the table to eat noodles.

"Huh? Has this kid learned to stand?"

"It would have been a long time ago." Gu Yuqin held Qiqi in her arms and hinted to Li Yuan with her eyes frantically.

Li Yuan pretended not to see it. But before the daughter-in-law could get angry, she heard the sound of the door opening.

"Brother ——!" Li Yunyun threw away his schoolbag excitedly and flew on Li Yuan, "You're not at home, everyone is bullying me!"

"What did you bully?" Zhang Zhen appeared behind her out of nowhere, "Go wash your hands! Eat all the noodles today!"

Li Yunyun went to wash his hands angrily. Zhang Zhen asked, "Yuanyuan, is the OEM processing you mentioned not doing business for Professor Shen?"

"How so? Isn't that business ours?" Li Yuan took a bite of the omelette, "They don't have that much production capacity. So it's outsourced. From then on, Professor Shen and they will specialize in developing the next generation of products."

"Didn't you just do it for them?"

"The division of work is different. Sometimes you can't eat alone. If you look at the original state-owned factories, they wanted to make even a nail themselves, but what happened in the end? On the contrary, like abroad, the latest supply chain has begun to become popular. For example, Nike, which sells sneakers, is only responsible for the design and sales, and all the production is outsourced to the foundry."

"So? Can that make money?"

"Of course you can make the most money. And...... Huh."

Li Yuan couldn't help but think of a famous scene later. Nike's air cushion sneakers were tested by someone who cares, but I didn't expect that there was no air cushion in them at all? After being discovered, there was no doubt that he went to the 315 party.

After that, Nike's public relations apology was not mentioned. A group of anchors took advantage of this hot spot to also buy a lot of Nike air cushion shoes and test them on the spot among the anchors. I didn't expect ...... There is actually an air cushion? What's the matter? After some inquiry, it turned out that the fakes I bought were all copycats?

The manufacturers of those fakes, they actually believed in Nike's air cushion shoes, so they really added air cushions? And the quality is even better than the real Nike?

Is this simply a black humor?

Zhang Zhen ignored Li Yuan's words. She nodded, "So? Then I'll talk to Lao Shen. Reassure him. Men are just bored."

Li Yuan and Gu Yuqin couldn't help but glance at each other, and then they felt the crazy stomping under the table. Li Yuansan and two mouthfuls cleaned the noodles, put down the bowl without hesitation, and returned to the bedroom without looking back......

"Rim ——!" Gu Yuqin shouted angrily.

"Leave me alone! I've bought a lot of things in Sichuan Province and I'm sorting them out."

「……」

……

That's how things are going on at home, and there is always the possibility of a big surprise.

Regarding the scandal between his mother Zhang Zhen and Professor Shen, Li Yuan pretended not to know anything. So Gu Yuqin complained for several days.

Fortunately, there is news from Hua Lao, and they should have a suitable location that can be used as an experimental site for new energy closed-loop. So after contacting, Li Yuan got on the train again and went all the way to the west......

"Ugh...... Are you Comrade Li Yuan?" A Northwest man looked at Li Yuan suspiciously.

"Yes! I guess so! We talked to each other on the phone."

"I didn't expect you to be so young. It's not ......" The Northwest man hesitated for a few more seconds, "Oh! So it's you? Writer Lee. Welcome back home. I didn't expect you to be our stunned baby here!"

(⊙ˍ⊙)

Wait a minute! It's several provinces away from your hometown, right?

Li Yuan cautiously explained, "Comrade! I'm from Shannan, right?"

"Understood, understood. I've seen your pictures. Aren't you wearing a sheep's belly turban? It's good not to forget your homeland."

(⊙ˍ⊙)

it! Li Yuan couldn't cry or laugh, it turned out that this person had watched "The World Flows Out of My Generation"? Doesn't he know that he is a concave shape? Why did you become a stunned baby?

"No, no...... Ugh." Li Yuan suddenly thought, didn't the ancestor flee? And from the southeast, northwest, everything is possible? Let's not explain more!

"Writer Lee!"

"No, no, call me Yuanzi."

"Yes, yes, Yuanzi. Our own family don't have to be polite." I didn't expect the Northwest Han to be self-cooked? "I'm the deputy county magistrate here, and my name is Lu Ran."

"County Magistrate Lu."

"Eh, did you say you're welcome?"

"Hehe, Brother Lu?"

"Okay! Hey? Why are you alone? Didn't you come to see the reservoir? What else are you talking about?"

"I'll take a look at the urgency of the notice."

"That's not right, is that? Aren't you a writer?"

"I wrote a few books

books, not counting writers. I'm still an engineer by profession, and everything else is a hobby."

"Oooh! That's fine! The car is right outside the station. Let's talk as we walk......

「……」

Li Yuan was amused in his heart, this Lu Ran really regarded himself as a fellow countryman.

But there are also benefits to being your own family. Lu Ran didn't have much to hide, and gave a detailed introduction to the local situation.

In fact, this situation is very common in the poor areas of the northwest. It is nothing more than a lack of electricity and water, and nothing can be developed. As a result, the local county was desperate to think about change, hoping to build a small hydropower plant, and then consider the issue of development.

Of course, life in the area is very poor. Almost all of them are below the poverty line. In particular, water scarcity is quite severe, resulting in extensive desertification.

"Yuanzi, we are fighting sand here every year. So brother, please find a way to keep this project."

"Huh? Haven't you solved your situation yet?" In his previous life, Li Yuan had long been accustomed to the electricity and water connections in the villages, and he couldn't imagine the situation here.

Lu Ran smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Of the eight impoverished counties in our area, which county doesn't report to the top? Whoever to give it to first and then to whom needs to queue up, right? So this time you come to investigate, you must help."

"This ...... I don't have the right to decide, do I? At that time, the ministry asked me to come and have a look?"

"It's okay to come and have a look. You can always beat the side drums, right? Oh! In front of it is the prefectural guest house. Today, it happened that the secretary and county magistrate went to the district for a meeting. They will come back in the evening and wash your dust themselves."

"You're welcome. You're welcome."

"That's as it should be. We are poor here, but that's how the customs are. It's just so hospitable. You go and take a break first. If you have any requirements, you can arrange them directly to the director here!"
