"Mr. Cao, Mr. Li from Nanshan Robotics has just contacted me and said that the approval for the first long-distance test flight of the drone has been approved."

The establishment of a drone division under Nanshan Robotics is something that Cao Ang has arranged before.

Due to the particularity of this division, Cao Yang specifically told Mi Ying that as long as Li Shigui reported the information related to the drone, he would tell him as soon as possible.

As a large unmanned transport aircraft (bomber), this UAV called the twin-tailed scorpion was designed and finalized by Cao Yang.

And it embodies the cutting-edge technology of multiple business divisions of Nanshan Group, which can be said to be a very big expectation of Cao Yang.

To put it mildly, at the beginning of the design of this drone, it was already much more powerful than that of Shunfeng back then.

Not to mention the rest, it is the stealth coating produced by Nanshan Chemical, and the drone that was downwind back then definitely didn't have it.

It can be said that Cao Yang has very high expectations for this drone and has a number of goals to achieve.

"When is the test flight?"

If it is an ordinary small drone, as long as it does not fly very high and does not fly in sensitive airspace, it is basically flying casually and no one cares.

However, this drone of Nanshan Robot is a large UAV, and it is ready to fly from Yangcheng to Chang'an City for long-distance high-altitude flight.

In this case, it is definitely necessary to apply in advance and obtain approval.

Otherwise, people would have thought that a foreign reconnaissance plane had come in.

In this regard, Nanshan Robot has naturally made a special confirmation, and will not make low-level mistakes.

"At nine o'clock tomorrow morning, we will arrange four drones for formation test flights at the same time, one of which will fly a little higher and be responsible for related shooting work."

"At that time, these filmed materials can not only be used for publicity, but may also be provided to Nanshan Film and Television for use in some film and television scenes."

The special purpose behind this drone is known only to Cao Yang.

Even Li Shigui, the person in charge, thought that what he developed was really a large unmanned transport aircraft.

This unmanned transport aircraft can be used in the transportation of special materials, air relay stations and other occasions.

Although Li Shigui didn't think that this market was so vast, the boss cared, so he did it carefully.

"Don't publicize it to the outside world yet, and save the video after making relevant shooting records."

"Later, according to the arrangement of the group as a whole, we will consider the publicity matters."

The twin-tailed scorpion drone is waiting for others to discover its special uses.

In case people don't want the relevant performance parameters to be exposed prematurely, then the publicity made by Nanshan UAV will play a negative role.

Therefore, the preparation for the propaganda this time must be done, but when the publicity will start will be discussed later.

Soon, the time came to nine o'clock in the morning of the next day.

The test flight site was not particularly lively, but there were a lot of people.

The R&D team has basically come over.

With Cao Yang's order, the four twin-tailed scorpion drones quickly slid forward on the proposed cement lawn.

The twin-tailed scorpion drone does not win by speed, so naturally everyone can't see the exciting scene of the fighter taking off.

However, when the four twin-tailed scorpion drones were safely and smoothly lifted into the air, Li Shigui and others couldn't help but applaud and celebrate.

When the drone disappeared from sight, everyone moved to the monitoring room inside the R&D building.

There's a picture that is directly connected to the drone's camera.

In particular, the drone that is responsible for the shooting mission is specially placed on the largest screen.

You can clearly see that the other three drones are flying smoothly in the air.

1000 meters!

2000 meters!

3000 meters!

Soon, the drone headed towards an altitude of 8,000 meters.

Unlike ground transportation, the aircraft has to travel from point A to point B, and there is currently only a single fixed route in China, and the air traffic controller needs to guide the aircraft along a predetermined route.

Above 5,000 meters, it is the area that belongs to the responsibility of the district air traffic controller.

After the Nanshan UAV reported to the air traffic control that the plane took off, everyone's attention has been on the surveillance video.

In a certain air traffic control center, the air traffic controller looked at the picture in front of him in surprise.

Nanshan UAV has reported that its large drone has taken off.

The twin-tailed scorpion drone has a wingspan of 20 meters, a length of 10 meters, and a height of 3.1 meters.

An aircraft of this size has nothing to hide in front of the radar.

Normally, radar signals can be seen on the screen in front of the air traffic controller.

As a result, he never saw any movement.

At first, he thought that there was an accident when the Nanshan robot took off, so the plane had not yet taken off.

After ten minutes of waiting, he still didn't see any radar signals.

This time, he couldn't sit still, and immediately called Nanshan Robot to consult.

"What?"

"It's been about ten minutes since your drone took off?"

The air traffic controller exclaimed in surprise.

The large drone took off for about ten minutes, but there was no signal on its side.

That's the big deal!

According to the information declared by Nanshan Robotics before, their drones are going to fly directly towards the airspace at an altitude of 8,000 meters.

Civil airliners generally fly at an altitude of 6,000-8,400 meters in short range, 8,900-12,500 meters in medium range, and 13,100-16,100 meters in long-range flight.

Nanshan Robot's drone flies at an altitude of 8,000 meters, which is much higher than a low altitude of several hundred meters.

If you accidentally grab the channel with a civil aircraft, or even have an accident, it will be even more troublesome.

Even if there is an impact in extreme cases, then the matter is completely over.

"Yes, we took off on time at 9 o'clock as declared, not a minute in advance."

Nanshan Robot replied a little confused.

You didn't break the rules, did you?

Why did the other side react so much?

"Is everything okay after your plane takes off?"

"What's going on now?"

The air traffic controller took a deep breath and tried to confirm the situation in a calm mood.

"Everything is normal, and now we have just reached the airspace of 8,000 meters, and we are ready to fly to Chang'an City according to the approved route."

"Are you sure everything is fine? No accidents? ”

Hearing the air traffic controller ask, Nanshan Robot was also a little unhappy.

"What accident? Our products are tested after many rounds of testing, how can there be accidents? Now it's flying well in the air, and our camera is transmitting the picture in real time. ”

This answer made the air traffic controller even more confused.

How is everything going?

Why is there no information on the screen in front of me?

His heart was full of questions, and he couldn't help but confirm again: "Do you have a video of real-time monitoring?" How is it monitored? ”

"We took off four drones, one of which was about 100 meters higher than the other three, so we could shoot with the cameras mounted on the pods."

Although I was a little unhappy in my heart, the other party was the regulatory department after all, and he was the "father" on his head.

Therefore, it is necessary to answer seriously if it is necessary to answer seriously.

"You transfer the signal, I'll take a look!"

With this special conversation, the air traffic control center was also completely chaotic.

The conversation between the air traffic controller and Nanshan Robot just now, the colleagues around him naturally heard it.

The signal that switched over immediately made them see the picture of the twin-tailed scorpion drone flying steadily at high altitude.

There is even some coordinate-related information on the screen.

According to this information, the air traffic control side specifically confirmed the relevant situation, but still did not find anything.

If it weren't for the fact that other planes were normally displayed on the screen, they would all wonder if there was something wrong with their own equipment.

But whatever the case may be, this is certainly not normal.

If you encounter an abnormal situation, then you should report it immediately.

According to the regulations, the air force and military force are responsible for carrying out flight control throughout the country, military aircraft are under the command of the air force/military and navy/military aviation, and civil aviation and foreign aviation flights are under the command of civil aviation.

Now that the civil aviation side has discovered the problem, it is natural to report it to the air force/military side as soon as possible.

Naturally, all parties attach great importance to this kind of accident.

But what made everyone even more surprising was that in the end, after a radar station on the side of the air force and the army confirmed the coordinates of the target, it still did not find any signal.

This time, the matter is completely closed!

Report!

Report again!

The impact of this event immediately and rapidly increased within a certain range.

In the end, the call came to Pan Jun's side, and he immediately confirmed with Cao Yang.

"Mr. Cao, are you sure that your drone is flying normally at high altitude?"

Although Pan Jun had already received the relevant information, he couldn't help but confirm it.

"Of course!"

"How did that disappear?"

As soon as Pan Jun finished asking, Cao Yang smiled and said, "Representative Pan, have you forgotten?" Our Nanshan Group's stealth coating level is the world's leading. ”

"In order to save trouble, our twin-tailed scorpion drone directly uses the stealth paint produced by Nanshan Chemical."

"To save trouble?" Pan Jun was speechless, "In other words, your drone is a stealth drone?" ”

Although Nanshan Chemical's stealth coatings have begun to supply aircraft manufacturers, the final products have not been officially released, or have not been officially announced.

Everyone has forgotten a little about Nanshan Chemical's production of stealth coatings.

Besides, who would have thought that a large drone produced by a private enterprise would be stealthy?

The most important thing is that the stealth performance is so good that even professional military radar stations cannot detect the signal.

That's a lot of fun!

The kind of "no hit, no hit" that Cao Yang wanted, the goal of "making a splash" has obviously been achieved.

"Yes, this twin-tailed scorpion drone of ours is a large stealth drone, and it uses ......"

Cao Yang briefly introduced the situation of the drone to Pan Jun.

He knew that the news would soon appear in other special places.

Sure enough, when he heard Cao Yang's introduction to the parameters of Nanshan Robot's drone products, Pan Jun immediately realized the significance.

The take-off weight is so big, the standby time is so long, and the flight is still so high.

Isn't this the best candidate for a proper unmanned bomber?

With such outstanding performance, the Air Force will definitely be interested.

You have to report it immediately!

"Mr. Cao, I need a complete set of information about your drone."

"Then the relevant information is not allowed to be publicized until it is approved."

"I'll give you further feedback soon."

After saying this, Pan Jun quickly hung up the phone.

He still needs to report to his superiors.

In the morning, more than an hour after the twin-tailed scorpion drone took off, multiple military radar stations began to search for their tracks based on specific coordinate information.

But in the end, nothing was discovered.

At the same time, to prove that this is not an oolong, a fighter jet took off to mark the airspace and confirm that there were really four drones flying there.

The end result goes without saying.

When the pilot reported his findings, several radar stations were silent.

They are beginning to doubt their own professionalism and the capabilities of the equipment!

Such a big drone, or four flying at the same time, I didn't find anything here.

If this is an enemy's unmanned reconnaissance plane, wouldn't it be possible for people to shoot wherever they want?

To exaggerate a little more, if this is an unmanned bomber of the enemy, wouldn't it be bombed wherever people want to bomb at a fixed point?

This matter is completely big!

"Mr. Cao, this drone of yours is called a twin-tailed scorpion drone, right?"

"How much do they cost?"

Pan Jun's movements were fast, and before the plane landed, he reappeared in front of Cao Yang.

"2 million to 5 million yuan, depending on the specific needs of customers."

"If you want to have some vehicles, it might be more expensive."

"If you don't need anything, then 2 million will do it!"

For Cao Yang, the main purpose of this project is not to make money.

As long as you don't lose money, that's enough.

So without any hesitation, he gave a data that exceeded Pan Jun's expectations.

"So cheap?"

Pan Jun was very surprised and asked rhetorically, but soon he may also realize that it seems a little bad for him to say this, and Nanshan Robot will not deliberately increase the price at that time, right?

"No, this drone has a wingspan of 20 meters, a length of 10 meters, and a height of 3.1 meters, such a big drone, you won't be so cheap after cutting corners, right?"

Pan Jun is clearly not ignorant of the situation with UAVs.

According to his understanding, it is normal for the price of this twin-tailed scorpion drone of Nanshan Robot to be increased by zero.

It's so cheap now?

Is it really because of cutting corners?

"Pan represents that not only do our products not cut corners, but also the various materials and systems are leading the world."

"For example, we use a lot of T800 carbon fiber, which makes the weight of the aircraft much lower and can carry more things."

"Another example is our flight control system, which makes full use of our technical accumulation in the CNC system of machine tools, and uses it in drones after special targeted research and development."

"There is also the appearance design of our drone, which also makes full use of our experience in F1 racing and the equipment of the wind tunnel laboratory here in Yangcheng."

"To put it mildly, our drone is definitely the world's leading in its class, and there is no rival."

At this time, naturally, this is not the time for modesty.

It is necessary to let everyone know that the twin-tailed scorpion drone is good, which is more beneficial to the future development.

As long as there are hundreds of twin-tailed scorpion drones, hanging with all kinds of air-to-air missiles, air-to-ship missiles, and even air-to-surface missiles, the deterrent strength will definitely not be much worse than that of large strategic bombers.

It is even possible to form a drone formation to carry out regular patrols in some sensitive areas to put special pressure on people.

At present, there is still a gap between Huaxia's fighter jets and the world's most advanced, and it is absolutely no problem for these unmanned bombers to be pulled out first to make an appearance and scare some potential opponents.

As long as it's fast enough, you can implement this plan in a few months.

"Mr. Cao, all your future sales plans for this drone need to be approved by us."

"We have all the initial production capacity!"

Obviously, the twin-tailed scorpion drone of Nanshan Robot is too outstanding in performance, and it is going to join the army!

After all, just like Cao Yang said, this drone has no opponents in the same level.

This also means that the level of China's current military drones is not comparable to it.

No matter where it is, it is impossible to sell such a product casually.

Especially with stealth performance, this is really rebellious!

"No problem, we'll all listen to your arrangement!"

This was originally what Cao Yang hoped to achieve, so he didn't think Pan Jun's request was excessive.

Hearing Cao Yang say this, Pan Jun was also relieved.

This request of oneself must be a bit uncomfortable for ordinary enterprises.

After all, you have to listen to others for your own product sales, so how can you sell things?

However, at this time, Pan Jun naturally did not have time to continue greeting Cao Yang, but hurriedly went to recover his life.

Li Shigui, who is standing next to Cao Yang, is a first-hand witness of everything today.

He's still a little dizzy!

Why did the unmanned transport aircraft that was said to be good suddenly join the army?

"Mr. Cao, this ...... It should be all right, right? ”

Li Shigui was a little unsure whether this matter was a good thing or a bad thing, so his expression was a little tangled.

"Of course it's fine."

"No, something's wrong!"

When Cao Yang said this, Li Shigui was taken aback.

Something?

"It's a good thing!"

Cao Yang continued to smile and said, "This shows that our twin-tailed scorpion drone has been developed very successfully and its performance is very advanced. It's obviously a civilian drone, but it's even better than the military. ”

"It's also a good thing to be able to contribute to the cause of national defense now."

"Anyway, no matter who the product is sold to, it is sold."

"If Pan Jun and they don't buy it, our sales are estimated to be not much."

"Now you have to produce hundreds, or even thousands, to produce them, right?"

As soon as Cao Yang said this, Li Shigui couldn't help but nodded.

There seems to be nothing wrong with this logic?

The concept of unmanned transport aircraft is very good, but how big the real market is, it is confusing.

If it weren't for the fact that this project was personally arranged by Cao Yang, Li Shigui would have wanted to propose to cancel it.

After all, within the group, in order to carry out this project, a lot of technical personnel were mobilized to work together, so there would be products so quickly.

"If it is really going to be a military drone, then the office location and production plant of our UAV division in the future may need special adjustments."

Li Shigui is not a novice who doesn't understand anything.

Factories that produce military products are naturally not suitable for mixing with civilian factories.

"Didn't we build an unmanned factory before?"

"This drone factory, we can also build it in the way of an unmanned factory."

"When the unmanned factory produces the world's most advanced large UAVs, after this gimmick spreads, the benefits to Nanshan Robotics should be very huge."

As soon as Cao Yang said this, Li Shigui immediately had that sense of picture in his mind.

Unmanned factories produce drones?

That sounds like a very stylish one.

Cao Yang had mentioned a similar topic before, but at that time, drones were still on PPT, so Li Shigui naturally didn't take it too seriously.

But now the situation is completely different.

The twin-tailed scorpion drone has already been test-flown and so far everything has been as expected.

The only exception is because the performance is too advanced, and I went to join the army.

"Mr. Cao, I will start arranging for the official launch of the unmanned factory project for the production of drones when I go back, and strive to make further improvements on the basis of the unmanned factory that produced robots before."

"I hope that the production technology of our factory will not be obsolete in ten years."

"Our twin-tailed scorpion drone can also remain obsolete for ten years."

Li Shigui is also very ambitious now, and he is full of expectations for the future.

Whether it is the robot division or the drone division, it is now a thriving situation.

"Nanshan Robot can produce drones, and in the future, we can also consider producing some special-purpose unmanned robots, if it can also be used on the battlefield at that time, then it can also play a very huge role in improving the reputation of Nanshan Robot."

"For example, robot dogs, or some special unmanned vehicles, I think they can be studied."

The reason why Cao Yang attaches great importance to Nanshan robots is not only because robots are indispensable equipment in various factories, but also because a series of things can be derived on this basis.

Flying in the sky, running on the ground, and swimming in the water are all ways that can be made into no one.

And as long as weapons are added to these unmanned things, it is a military product.

And without weapons on it, it is an excellent civilian product.

The development of civil-military integration is not a simple sentence on paper.

"No problem, I'm going to set up another innovation division, and in addition to the existing robots and drones, new businesses will be developed in the innovation business department."

Without any hesitation, Li Shigui was ready to start carrying out Cao Yang's instructions.

This is a very beneficial thing to the development of Nanshan Robot, and he will naturally work hard with the spirit of twelve.

However, at this time, Mi Ying ran over again and interrupted Cao Yang's conversation with his subordinates.

"Mr. Cao, something happened!"

Sure enough, every time Mi Ying came over to interrupt Cao Yang's conversation with someone, something special must have happened.

Most of the time, this doesn't seem like a good thing.
