"Boy, it's going to be tested tomorrow."

"Nervous, isn't it?"

Listening to Wei Lao's somewhat playful inquiry, Ye Fei smiled and replied.

"Elder Wei, I don't think you should ask me this question."

"You should ask Old Zhao, is he nervous!"

"I'm just a consultant, what's there to be nervous about."

"That's right."

Subconsciously replied to Ye Fei's words, and Wei Lao suddenly found that he seemed to be surrounded by Ye Fei.

"Why do I feel a little wrong?"

As soon as he heard this, Ye Fei hurriedly flickered.

"Elder Wei, there's nothing wrong with it!"

"You're thinking too much!"

"Really?"

Facing Wei Lao's questioning suspiciously, Ye Fei nodded desperately, looking very well-behaved.

"Well, then I'll ask Lao Zhao."

"Elder Wei, I'll go with you."

Before Ye Fei could walk to his side, Wei Lao directly stopped Ye Fei.

"No, I'll just go myself."

"You put this aside to play with the girl for a while."

When the words fell, the little group on the side showed a bright smile at the right time, and said to Ye Fei in a milky voice.

"Uncle hug!"

I'm Nima!

How many times have you said it, don't call me uncle!

"The prototype has arrived at the test area."

"The prototype is debugged."

"The prototype is in good condition and ready to start testing."

The next day, Ye Fei followed Wei Lao and others to the equipment test site of the Seventh Institute.

Originally, Wei Lao and the others wanted to observe the picture of the first launch of the "swarm" at close range, but they were persuaded by Ye Fei, who was in a cold sweat, and other staff members.

Although Ye Fei knew that there was nothing wrong with this launch idea.

But this thing is still a little too far ahead of its time.

In case something happens, the test failure is a small matter, and the injury to Wei Lao and other personnel is big.

In any case, there are ultra-clear cameras around the prototype car, which can completely record the scene when the "swarm" is launched, and it will never be missed.

You can also replay it repeatedly afterwards to look for problems.

However, Wei Lao and other older generation of scientific researchers do not seem to trust the camera as a device.

In their opinion, only their own eyes are the most reliable and can detect problems in the test process at the first time.

Most of the older generation of military workers from that era were like this, completely ignoring the dangers of the equipment itself that was tested for the first time.

In the end, under the stiff pull of Ye Fei and the staff, Wei Lao and Zhao Lao still came to the observation post about one kilometer away from the test site and equipped with bulletproof glass.

The second elder blew his beard and glared at him again and again, as if Ye Fei and the others had done something hurtful.

In the very center of the test site, a six-wheeled truck resembling a 122mm rocket launcher of the Warrior 3 was parked alone.

That's right, it's the "swarm" launcher that took the launcher of the 122 rocket launcher and changed it

It's just that although both were born by the same mother, the difference between the two can be intuitively seen.

Compared with the launch frame of the rocket launcher towards the front of the vehicle, the launch frame of the original "Swarm" launcher is facing the opposite direction, facing the rear of the vehicle.

And the number of emitters has also been modified, from 20 to 24.

Don't look at the increase in the number of emitholes, you think that the volume of the "swarm" UAV is smaller than that of rocket artillery.

In fact, the launch stand of this launch vehicle has also been specially modified and almost doubled in size!

It is already similar to the shape of the "swarm" launch vehicle of the Yan Kingdom in later generations.

As for why there was such a coincidence, it was naturally a good thing that Company Commander Ye did.

In this regard, Lian Commander Ye modestly said that he only provided a little insignificant idea.

Compared with the swarm launch vehicles with 48 emitters in the Yan Kingdom in later generations, this little movement made by himself is a small scene.

Base, don't 6.

Now, this "beggar's version", or the first generation of the swarm launcher, is about to usher in its first test!

Whether Yanguo's military drones can achieve the goal of cluster dispatch in advance depends on the results of this test!

When the staff arrives and reports to the observation post that the commissioning is complete.

It means that this test has officially begun!

In the observation center, Wei Lao and Zhao Lao glanced at each other and looked at each other without saying a word.

Seeing this, Wei Lao took the initiative to turn his head very "sensibly" and left the opportunity to host the test to Zhao Lao.

"Guard, thank you."

Throwing a grateful look at Wei Lao, Zhao Lao picked up the walkie-talkie and said categorically in a somewhat trembling voice.

"Start testing!"

"Conduct a single-shot close-range launch test first!"

"Yes! Single-shot close-range launch! ”

"3, 2, 1, launch!"

With the sound of the staff, the launch rack slowly rose, pointing obliquely to the sky!

A moment later, there was a "poof" sound, and a large swarm drone popped out of the launch rack and plunged straight into the clouds!

"Worker Bee 1 has been launched!"

"The wings are deployed normally, the tail is deployed normally!"

"The flight attitude is normal, the screen transmission is normal!"

"Single-shot close-range launch, test successful!"

Listening to the tester's somewhat excited voice, Zhao Lao's face did not show much joy.

The success of a close launch could not be more normal.

The main purpose of this test is to see if the wings of the drone can be deployed normally during launch, which is a prerequisite for long-distance launch.

Since it took so much effort to install a rocket booster system on the drone, the close-range launch test is certainly not the highlight!

"Conduct a single-shot long-distance delivery test!"

"Yes!"

Hearing this, the testers don't ink, and they come up to test the predetermined maximum delivery distance!

"Poof!"

After a long flight, the "Worker Bee 2" also successfully deployed its wings and was successfully tested!

This means that the way of large-scale dropping of UAVs over long distances through rocket launches is completely feasible!

There is no need to say how excited the testers were, and even the faces of Zhao Lao and Wei Lao showed joy.

To be able to prove that this path is the right way, for them, more than anything else!

The successful test of the long-range and short-range launch gave this test a good start.

Seeing this, Zhao Lao directly struck while the iron was hot and began to test the cluster launch!

With the sound of "poof", one after another "worker bees" shot out of the emhole!

"The worker bees are in normal condition, they have arrived at the predetermined target location, and they are deploying normally!"

When the good news came back, Wei Lao directly gave Ye Fei a big fight, laughing!

Ye Fei, who was beaten inexplicably, looked confused, and said in his heart that if the test was successful, it would be successful!

What are you hitting me for!

Forget it, for the sake of the face of the equipment, I bear with it!

Thinking of this, Ye Fei's face also showed a heartfelt smile.

Swarm launch vehicle. Hey

And Zhao Lao's face, I don't know when, there were already tear stains, but they were quickly wiped away by his sleeves.

"Keep testing!"

"Yes!"

Next, Mr. Zhao presided over a number of tests to collect data.

But the most critical delivery test has been completed, and the rest of the test seems to be a little insignificant.

Next, it is only necessary to carry out the research of UAV aerial networking technology to realize that the single vehicle can control all the UAVs launched out.

It means the official birth of the "Swarm" UAV combat system!

That night, members of the bee colony research team in the seven institutes held a simple celebration banquet to celebrate the success of the test.

Tomorrow, they will work with another group to conduct research on UAV aerial networking technology, with the intention of developing a UAV aerial joint network combat system as quickly as possible.

This is the second research focus of the swarm launch vehicle, and it is also a difficult point.

With this system, it is not only applied to the swarm drone that Ye Fei has in mind.

On large and medium-sized UAVs, the same can be applied!

At that time, in the airspace of Yanguo, there will be a drone formation, accompanied by fighters, and the grand occasion of fighting together!

Think about it, a formation of dozens of UAVs, or even hundreds of UAVs, on the radar, what scenes will appear!

It's dense, it's all red dots!

Stealth? Hide a fart!

All I want is to let you know that Lao Tzu is here!

The emergence of this system itself represents the emergence of a new tactic.

When a dense red dot appears on the screen of a ground-based air defense station, it means that the detection effect of the radar is ineffective.

Unless a close-range observation is conducted, no one knows whether what is shown on the radar is a fraudulent formation composed of small UAVs, or the main group composed of dozens of J-20s with the six masters!

Especially the Yan Country, which is still a big country with a terrorist industrial volume!

This tactic works even better!

No one dares to bet! The main thing is that if you can't be killed, you'll be scared to death!

In the future, there may be thousands of drones, a grand scene of skimming the sun and volleying!

All of this, one day, will become a reality!

Half a year later.

Company Commander Ye drove the first generation of "Swarm" launch vehicle and unscrupulously circled around the test site.

At this time, the launch vehicle was no longer as simple as the original prototype.

The outside of the launch clip was wrapped in steel plates, and the launch vehicle was changed to a Dongfeng truck.

And the number of emitters has also increased from 24 to 30.

And the swarm small UAV also has its own code name.

Worker Bee 1!

Although this code name is far less than that of the Aquila and Pterodactyl, it sounds loud.

But it's good to have your own codename, right?

And the size of the worker bee 1 is here, the main feature is a pocket, and it is not distressing to be scrapped, and it is somewhat out of place to name it "Phoenix".

"Ouch! What a good thing! ”

The happy Ye Fei jumped out of the car, sighed a few times, and walked towards Wei Lao in the distance.

As soon as they met, Ye Fei's face immediately showed a flattering smile.

"Elder Wei, hehe, this."

"You see the swarm launcher has been built."

"I'm not."

As soon as he heard this, Wei Lao immediately snorted coldly and said angrily.

"What's the boy?"

"Lao Tzu's Seven Institutes are so bad? Can't keep you? ”

As soon as these words came out, Ye Fei suddenly chuckled in his heart, and secretly said in his heart that he was going to suffer!

Broken! I know that you old man doesn't talk about martial arts!

You have to force me to stay!

"Elder Wei, what are you talking about!"

"Who dares to say that the Seven Institutes are bad? I'm the first to be in a hurry with him! ”

"Didn't I think about taking our equipment and going back to show off my skills!"

"No matter how good the equipment is, it has to be tested!"

Seeing Ye Fei say this, Wei Lao's face softened a lot, but he still said a little impatiently.

"Go, go, when will it become our place?"

"Thinking about leaving all day long, we don't have anyone like you in the seven institutes!"

When Ye Fei heard this, he immediately became anxious!

"Why am I not from the Seven Institutes!"

"It's been a year and a half since I got my salary! Ideas have come up with a whole bunch of ideas for you, too! ”

"I want to leave now, also to collect actual combat data for our seven institutes!"

"I'm all for the good of the seven of us!"

"Could it be that the bee colony will not improve in the future? Not R&D? ”

"Elder Wei, could it be that you have forgotten the goal set by the two of us and Zhao Lao to launch 48 machines on a single vehicle?"

Ye Fei said a lot, and the core idea was just one sentence!

I Ye Fei is a person from the Seven Institutes!

You Wei Lao Sensei wants to get rid of the relationship!

Company Commander Ye is still counting on coming back from time to time in the future to fight the autumn wind!

Now these equipment seem to be very tall.

But Company Commander Ye knows that these are beggars!

UAVs are a key development area in the future of Yanguo, and it won't be long before the Seven Institutes will be able to produce a lot of equipment!

You can't make a one-size-fits-all deal!

After staying in the Seventh Institute for so long, Ye Fei also figured out how important the old company commander's original arrangement was to his career as an officer.

The first commander of a new army, does this need to be said much about the gold content on the resume?

You say you've made first-class merits? Do you have drone units in your troops?

As long as there is, it has nothing to do with our Company Commander Ye!

In local terms, this is called a generational rise!

Company Commander Ye had already thought clearly, during the period before going to the Blue Army Brigade, the drone must be well connected, refined, understood, and even promoted!

In order to achieve the goal of "becoming bigger and stronger, and creating brilliance", the support of all kinds of new equipment from the seven institutes is indispensable!

There are new drones that need to be tested, and our company commander Ye has to be the first person to eat crabs!

Needless to say, the benefits of this are needless to say, and Company Commander Ye can also ensure the leading position of his own drone company.

Therefore, no matter what, Ye Fei can't let Wei Lao and the Seven Institutes cut off the relationship with himself!

I'm done with it?

There are no doors!

In this regard, Wei Lao's heart is also like a mirror, for fear that our Company Commander Ye will rely on him.

But no matter what, Wei Lao and Ye Fei have been together day and night for more than a year, and they have long had feelings.

What's more, with the birth of Worker Bee 1, Ye Fei also contributed.

Under Ye Fei's entanglement, Wei Lao still relented and agreed to Ye Fei's request.

In the future, there will be a new type of UAV, as long as it is suitable for the ground forces, it will give priority to the "own family", that is, Ye Fei!

As soon as these words came out, Ye Lian was overjoyed, rubbed his hands excitedly, and said with a shy face.

"What's inside, Elder Wei."

"Do you remember what you said before?"

"When I'm gone."

"You want to be equipped, huh?"

"Okay, Lao Tzu is true to his word."

"But there is a premise, it has to be equipment related to drones."

As he spoke, Wei Lao seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly added.

"Neither will the large drones for the Air Force!"

As soon as these words came out, Ye Fei was suddenly a little disappointed and smacked his lips.

Although there are other small and medium-sized drones to choose from, Company Commander Ye always feels that he is busy in vain!

What I'm worried about is the large UAV of the Air Force, and you won't let me take it!

Is!

Boring!

Today's first share will be sent!

There are two more shifts around half past ten!

Ask for a commuter pass!
