After sending Pan Jun and the others away, Cao Yang simply called the main executives of the group to the conference room to discuss whether they could do some more high-tech things.

This time the matter of stealth paint brought a lot of touch to Cao Yang.

Many technologies in later generations have not yet been developed.

In order to make these new technologies and equipment come out as soon as possible, is it necessary for you to push behind the scenes?

For example, the twin-tailed scorpion drone that became popular on the Internet was developed by Shunfeng Company to a private enterprise in Sichuan Province, in order to solve the express delivery requirements on some special occasions.

Nanshan Group has invested in DJI, and it has a layout in some drones.

However, DJI mainly does relatively small UAVs, and Nanshan Group can set up its own UAV company to specialize in developing slightly larger unmanned bombers.

Of course, the external statement must not be called an unmanned bomber.

It can be used as an agricultural drone or a patrol drone, but how it will be used in the end is another matter.

It just so happens that Nanshan Chemical has its own stealth coating technology, and if it is appropriately changed, it is completely possible to make a paint with weaker performance to be used in drones, and it is possible to sell it to the outside world at that time.

Thinking of this, Cao Yang couldn't sit still.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I think drones will be a very marketable product in the future, and consumer-grade drones have invested in DJI's research, and I would like to arrange personnel to specialize in the study of industrial-grade drones."

"Do you think it is feasible to set up a Nanshan drone to be responsible for this project?"

Although he already has an idea in his heart, this matter is quite special after all, Cao Yang is still willing to listen to other people's opinions.

Three stinkers, race Zhuge Liang.

"Broadly speaking, drones are also robots."

"Our group's strength in CNC systems is the world's leading, and there is no rival in China."

"Although the flight control system of the UAV and our CNC system are certainly not the same thing, some logic between them must be more universal."

"If we want to develop drones, there is no need to set up a special drone company, we only need to add a drone division under Nanshan Robot."

"In this way, the early movement will be much smaller, and it can be developed in a relatively low-key manner."

Li Shigui was the first to stand up and put forward his own suggestions.

His words are not without reason.

Drones are not a new thing now, and many companies have been working on them even decades ago.

If Nanshan Group wants to do it, then do it under Nanshan Robot first.

In the future, it will be bigger, and then it will be seen whether the situation will be independent.

In this regard, Cao Yang thinks it can also be.

"UAVs are mainly divided into two categories: military and civilian, Mr. Cao, in which direction is our UAV developing?"

Huan Yongxiang asked beside him.

In order to develop F1 cars, Xingchen Automobile recruited some flight control experts and aircraft design engineers.

So he still supports Cao Yang's desire to engage in drones.

Nanshan Group's own engine level is the highest in China, and it should not be so difficult to develop an engine suitable for UAV use.

Even now that the team of Nanshan Engine does not have such a heavy R&D task, it seems to be very meaningful to appropriately adjust a group of personnel to develop the engine used in the drone.

"Civil, we must produce civilian products!"

"Even our product manuals specifically state that it is not allowed to be converted into bombers and other military uses."

"If you want to sell a special customer, we can attach a special instruction manual to tell them which modifications are prohibited."

When Cao Yang said this, the executives present all laughed.

Everyone understands what Cao Yang means.

Anyway, no matter whether the products I produce are military or civilian, for Nanshan Group, they are all civilian.

As for what the buyer will use to do after buying it back, it is not something that Nanshan Group can worry about.

If you really have to think about it, even the kitchen knife used to cut vegetables has other uses.

"Lingnan University of Science and Technology now manages the wind tunnel laboratory, and when we design the shape of a sports car, it is actually similar to the shape of an airplane."

"When the time comes, as long as we add some aircraft design experts to the design team, we can popularize some basic knowledge for everyone."

"As long as there is a clear goal, we can produce a prototype of the drone in half a year."

Li Shigui expressed his position there with great confidence.

If the UAV Division is to be placed in Nanshan Robot, it must come up with a product in the shortest possible time.

Otherwise, maybe other divisions will have ideas at that time.

"Our Nanshan equipment can be responsible for the design and development of the flight control system."

"As the most important and core component of the UAV, the main function of the flight control system is to monitor, control and correct the flight status of the UAV to ensure the safety, stability and smoothness of its flight."

"The flight control system includes flight controllers, gyroscopes, accelerometers, magnetometers, barometers and other devices."

"Among them, the flight controller is the most critical, responsible for realizing various control algorithms for UAV flight, and we will work with Nanshan Semiconductor to tackle key problems in this regard."

Pan Jinxing can see that Cao Yang seems to attach great importance to the drone business, so he naturally has to make some contributions to this project.

"The power supply system is also the core part of the drone, providing the power required by the drone to support its work."

"Our Nanshan battery can work together with Nanshan auto parts to get the power system out."

Lin Cheng is not far behind, saying that Nanshan battery can also help.

"The power supply system of the drone includes components such as batteries, ESCs, motors, etc."

"The battery plays the role of storing and releasing energy, the ESC is the switching circuit that controls the electrical energy input of the motor, and the motor is the device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy."

"Mr. Lin, you may also need to cooperate with Nanshan Semiconductor and Nanshan Auto Parts at that time."

Cao Yang's words basically defaulted to letting Nanshan Battery be mainly responsible for the development of the power system.

"The communication system is the bridge between the drone and the ground console, responsible for transmitting data, commands and information."

"A communication system includes components such as transmitters, receivers, antennas, etc."

"The UAV realizes real-time transmission of data on flight status, attitude and adjustment through the communication system and ground console, and can adjust the flight parameters in time to ensure the safety of air flight."

"The research and development in this area may need the help of the intelligent network center."

Li Shigui saw that everyone had begun to discuss the division of tasks, and also put forward some precautions.

As a roboticist, his overall understanding of drones must be deeper than most people.

It may be difficult to put him in charge of the development of a specific feature, but it is not a problem to divide the tasks according to the needs of each function.

"Mr. Li, the UAV Division still needs coordination and cooperation in those fields, you can say it together, and everyone will discuss it."

Cao Yang hopes to come up with a mature drone plan as soon as possible and produce the twin-tailed scorpion drone he wants, so that more departments can work together and learn from their strengths.

The drone made according to this combination is likely to be even more powerful than the twin-tailed scorpion drone made by Shunfeng in history.

Directly at the end of this year or the beginning of next year, a drone product comparable to ten years later will be made.

When the time comes, it will definitely bring a huge impact to everyone.

"In addition to the communication system, the sensor system is also very important, which is used to sense changes in the environment around the drone and to obtain flight data in real time."

"Sensor systems include components such as GPS, inertial navigation systems, distance sensors, temperature sensors, optical sensors, etc."

"A variety of sensors can help drones fly through the air, plan routes, and transmit data."

"In this regard, maybe Nanshan Auto Parts and Nanshan Semiconductor will be better at it, and then we will need to trouble them."

Li Shigui was not polite, and immediately began to further divide labor.

There is a lot of strength, and a bunch of professional people go to a drone, and it is estimated that the plan can be given in a month or two.

At that time, the production of the prototype can be directly arranged to be completed within this year.

Taking advantage of Cao Yang's interest in UAVs is still very high, it is easiest to get the affirmation of the prototype as soon as possible.

"No problem, the respective sensors themselves are the parts produced by Nanshan Auto Parts, and when the time comes, we will develop some more in a targeted manner, or make some improvements on the existing basis."

Dai Hanbiao agreed without any hesitation.

Although Nanshan Auto Parts is with the word "car", he doesn't want to narrow the road.

"Then there is the payload system, which is the 'eye' and 'arm' of the drone, which carries various sensors, cameras, lidars and other equipment to carry out aerial photography, mapping, environmental monitoring, search and rescue, delivery and other tasks."

"The load system generally includes cameras, computers, sensors and other components, which have a certain intersection with the sensor system.

"Finally, there is the fuselage system, which is the support and protection structure of the drone, including the fuselage, wings, tail, propellers, tripods and other components."

"The airframe system is able to maintain stability with the air, support the load system, and withstand the shock and vibration experienced during flight."

"We have the best carbon fiber in the world, and we can use carbon fiber materials to make these parts when the time comes."

"For specific work, we need to ask Nanshan Carbon Fiber and Nanshan Auto Parts to help."

Each part has a special team to work on, and there was no drone team within Nanshan Robot before, so although Li Shigui pulled the drone division back, he did not dare to take all the work down.

If you can't get the results by then, it will be embarrassing.

On the contrary, it is better to hold the assembly right of the drone in your hands, and you can even combine it with the project of the unmanned factory, and directly use the unmanned factory to produce the drone in the future, is it more high-end?

Thinking of this, Li Shigui's mood couldn't help but be a little excited.

This is a good opportunity to further enhance the influence of Nanshan Robot.

Otherwise, he was pressed by a bunch of big brothers such as Xingchen Automobile, Jaguar Land Rover, Nanshan Gearbox, Nanshan Engine, Nanshan Auto Parts, Nanshan Special Steel, Nanshan Carbon Fiber, Nanshan Equipment, etc., and Li Shigui's pressure was relatively large.

"Each business department transferred a team into the Nanshan Robot UAV Division, and I personally led everyone to determine the appearance of the first UAV, and also determined the main functional requirements."

"Then the development and design of each specific component will be completed within three months at the latest, and the first batch of prototypes will be produced within this year."

"If there is no problem with the performance of the prototype in all aspects, large-scale mass production will be carried out in the first half of next year."

A long-endurance stealth unmanned bomber, many people are still unaware of its power.

But Cao Yang knew very well in his heart that this was a sharp weapon in Huaxia.

At that time, it will be equipped with some advanced cruise missiles or air-to-air missiles, which can completely make up for the lack of large long-range bombers.

It is not impossible to even use it as a reconnaissance aircraft.

Anyway, Nanshan Carbon Fiber's carbon fiber technology is the world's leading, and now the stealth coating technology is dominant.

There are also proven twin-tailed scorpion drones, and when the time comes, hundreds of them will be dispatched together, which will definitely make some aircraft carrier fleets frightened.

With Cao Yang's instructions, Nanshan Group immediately moved.

This is the advantage of private enterprises, as soon as the boss speaks, everyone has to act quickly.

As long as the direction is right, the efficiency is very high.

Of course, if there is an unreliable boss, it is estimated that the company will soon be tossed and shut down.

……

These actions of the Nanshan Group were not concealed from Pan Jun.

Even for the follow-up rapid application, Cao Yang also took the initiative to reveal the performance indicators of Nanshan Robot's first drone product.

Maximum take-off weight: 2800 kg.

Maximum range: 6000 km.

Maximum flight time: 35 hours.

Max speed: 300 km/h.

Ceiling: 10,000 meters.

Power supply capacity: 10 kWh.

Length: 10 meters.

Wingspan: 20 meters.

Height: 3.1 meters.

"Representative Pan, our twin-tailed scorpion UAV is a twin-engine, modular, multi-purpose large medium-altitude long-endurance UAV, the aircraft adopts a large aspect ratio, double tail support, twenty-type aerodynamic layout design, and is equipped with two engines."

"Once the research and development is successful, it can not only be used as an emergency communication base station, but also can be painted stealthily and quietly complete a series of equipment carrying."

"Even some missiles can be painted in stealth, and when the time comes to match it, this drone can be made an unmanned bomber."

"Of course, we are a civilian product manufacturer, and we definitely don't produce missiles or anything."

"Our drones are also being developed exclusively for civilian use, not for military use."

Cao Yang's explanation that wanted to cover up, Pan Jun naturally knew what was going on.

However, Nanshan Group has never produced drones.

Now he is talking about a drone product with such exaggerated performance, Pan Jun is a little unsure whether the other party can develop it.

After all, such a drone, if it is really developed, it is basically the most advanced unmanned bomber in the world.

It is even possible to transport a batch of small drones on the basis of drones to have the effect of swarming attacks.

Or it can have an unexpected effect at a critical moment.

"Mr. Cao, are you confident that this drone will be developed in the future?"

As a top student of the National Defense University, Pan Jun is very familiar with relevant military equipment.

Let him go to research and development, he will definitely not work.

But let him comment on the performance, it can definitely be said for three days and three nights.

So after listening to Cao Yang's description, he knew that the performance of such a drone was absolutely amazing.

Once the mass production is smoothly carried out, it can directly rewrite the situation in some regions.

Even making an appearance at a critical moment can also have the effect of intimidating opponents.

"Needless to say about the future, according to our plan, the prototype will have to be produced before December this year, and mass production will begin in the first half of next year."

"In the future, if the market demand is relatively strong, we are also ready to build an unmanned factory to produce drones, so that everyone can fully see the strength of our Nanshan Group."

Cao Yang kept throwing out some new things, which shocked Pan Jun.

Unmanned factories to produce drones?

This sounds like a mouthful of thought, but it's really remarkable.

If it does, it's like making a movie.

Even some of Nanshan Film and Television's movie shots can be considered for filming in these places.

"Mr. Cao, I will report to the above on this project."

"When the time comes, if the prototype comes out, we will invite the relevant expert group to come and evaluate it."

"If the performance is really as good as you say, I believe that this drone will definitely not need to worry about sales."

Pan Jun's eyes were resolute and gave Cao Yang an answer.

In this regard, Cao Yang did not dwell on it at all.

As long as the performance of its own products can be good, and some other models can be extended on the basis of this product, there is no need to worry about sales at all.

The role of drones will continue to refresh everyone's cognition.

Nanshan Group's timely entry into this field has only benefits, not harms.

However, with such a big move by Nanshan Group to engage in drones, DJI can naturally hear some rumors.

Because the small hoe used by the personnel department of Nanshan Group to dig people has been dug into DJI.

"Mr. Cao, I heard that Nanshan Group is also going to engage in drones by itself?"

Wang Tao struggled for a while, but still called Cao Yang.

DJI in 2010 was far less powerful than later generations.

But with the investment of Nanshan Group, they are also much stronger than the original empty in 2010.

It can even be said that they have emerged in the field of drones and become industry leaders.

In this case, Nanshan Group began to produce drones by itself, and Wang Tao must be more nervous.

"Yes, we have added a new drone division under Nanshan Robotics."

There was nothing to hide from this news, so Cao Yang admitted it directly.

However, Cao Yang is not stupid, and naturally knows why Wang Tao called him.

So he immediately continued: "Our drones are mainly large high-end drones, which are completely different from your positioning. ”

"Like our first product, the wingspan goes up to 20 meters."

"Unless DJI is ready to enter this market in the future, there is no overlap between the two projects."

Hearing Cao Yang say this, Wang Tao immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Large high-end drones?

This is the exact opposite of what you are!

What he wants to do is a small drone that ordinary consumers can afford!

The kind of one that can be easily held and operated by one person.

A drone with a wingspan of 20 meters, which can no longer be classified as an ordinary toy.

It's even a small plane.

"Mr. Cao, the market for this kind of UAV is relatively small, and most of them are in the category of military UAVs in various countries."

As an expert in UAV design, Wang Tao is naturally very familiar with the situation of UAVs.

So after listening to Cao Yang's words, he immediately gave his own analysis and judgment.

In his opinion, it should be a bit inappropriate for Cao Yang to engage in this thing.

Or rather, there is no future.

"The use of drones is far more than just a military channel, and there are many places waiting for us to discover."

"Mr. Wang, when the time comes, let's see if the two sides can cooperate in flight control."

Cao Yang is still very confident in DJI's flight controller, and his technology is really good.

If this aspect can be applied to its own twin-tailed scorpion drone, it is naturally the best.

In this regard, Wang Tao did not refuse.

As long as Nanshan Group is really engaged in high-end large-scale UAVs, then no matter what kind of cooperation it is, it can be discussed.

On the other hand, if Nanshan Group is engaged in small consumer drones like DJI, it will be completely different.

Everyone is a competitor, so you have to look like a competitor.

What should be black will be black, and what should be pulled back will be pulled back!

"No problem, one day I will personally go to Nanshan Robot to visit your company's drone design team, and we will have a good exchange."

"When the time comes, our two companies will control the global drone market together, and we will also enjoy the taste of monopolizing the market."

Wang Tao's worries have been swept away, and he is naturally in a very good mood now.

Even he told his fantasies about the future.

In 2010, few people would have believed that their drones would be able to become a global hegemon.

In this era, the United States is still the best at drones.

That kind of gap can't be eliminated in a day or two.

But Chinese people are always good at creating miracles, and the speed of development of Huaxia is definitely beyond the imagination of many foreigners.

In time, it is entirely possible for everyone to become the world's unoccupied hegemon.

Thinking of this, Cao Yang's mood also changed!

However, in the future, I will be busy!
