Chapter 670 - Machine-in-Machine, Innovative Carrying, Famous with DJI
"There is no problem, our drone is going to use a lot of carbon fiber, and then we will build a new factory near Nanshan Carbon Fiber."
Cao Yang naturally understood Pan Jun's thoughts.
He also knew that this idea should not be just Pan Jun's idea.
After all, as a representative, he is also just a microphone.
There is no need for Nanshan Group to put all its industries in Yangcheng and disperse to different cities, which is no harm.
Now that Pan Jun has made a request, there must be no way for Yangcheng and Lingnan Province to have an opinion.
Even if there is an opinion, it is not aimed at the Nanshan Group.
"In the future, the executives and technical experts of Nanshan Robotics, especially the experts in charge of the twin-tailed scorpion drone project, need to pay further attention to their safety issues."
"I'll coordinate some related resources on my side."
"The best thing is to be able to relocate the Nanshan Robot UAV Division as a whole to Chang'an City, where it is more conducive to doing some security work."
Pan Jun's proposal, Cao Yang naturally agreed.
After talking about topics other than technology, the next focus is on the technology itself.
And just when Cao Yang was busy with the twin-tailed scorpion drone, the Internet about the United States sanctioning Nanshan robots was getting hotter and hotter.
Many people are curious about how Nanshan Robot's drone products are and how they were sanctioned.
Of course, smart people have also contacted the hot search on Weibo a few days ago, and those strange drone pictures have now disappeared from the Internet.
If you put these things together, it seems that everything makes sense.
……
"Lao Chen, how much do you know about Nanshan Robot's drone business?"
In Shencheng, in the DJI drone company, Wang Tao naturally saw the relevant news on the Internet.
There are also people within DJI who are responsible for collecting all the news related to drones and reporting back to him regularly every week.
Although large drones are not the direction of DJI's research and development, everyone is a drone, and some information is still the same.
"I really don't know a lot, but I heard that Nanshan Robot has a drone division inside, and it also poached a few people from our company at the beginning."
"I remember that at that time, Mr. Wang, you specifically approached Mr. Cao for this matter."
The twin-tailed scorpion drone was developed for unmanned bombers, so in the process of research and development, Cao Yang naturally kept it as secret as possible.
It is normal that Chen Dajian did not get relevant news.
"The strength of this Nanshan Group is really unmatched, obviously we are developing drones earlier than them, but until now, our first commercial integrated aerial photography drone has only been officially mass-produced."
"I'm going to take this drone to Mr. Cao tomorrow to communicate."
After DJI accepted the investment from Nanshan Group, the R&D progress in all aspects has obviously accelerated.
Historically, their first commercial drone won't be launched until next year.
Now it's more than a year ahead of schedule.
And the camera components on this drone are also supplied by Nanshan Auto Parts, which is higher than the level of the same period in history.
Therefore, Wang Tao attaches great importance to it and is ready to make it DJI's first trump card product.
"Well, it's really necessary for Mr. Cao to also see the strength of our DJI."
"Although PHANTOM 1 is not the same type as Nanshan Group's large stealth drone, it has its own characteristics."
"I think we can complement each other and bring a huge surprise to the world."
Chen Dajian is obviously very confident in the products he personally participated in the research and development.
The positioning of DJI drones is different from the Nanshan Robot Drone Division, and it is also different from many other drone manufacturers.
Because of this, in the end, they can also become the king of the drone world.
……
People who also pay attention to the movements of Nanshan robots are definitely not only DJI's Wang Tao.
As the main opponent of Nanshan Robot, Fanuc has never given up the dream of defeating Nanshan Robot.
As the biggest "victim", Yoshida Eimasa is staring at the movements of Nanshan robots every day.
This time, the United States wants to sanction Nanshan Robot, and the intensity is still very large.
When he saw the relevant news, he jumped with excitement.
After a brief understanding of the situation, he immediately went to report the situation to the sales manager Yutaka Kawashima.
"Minister, I think this is our best chance to drive the Nanshan robot off the altar."
"The market in the United States, they have completely lost their play, and we can vigorously develop it."
"In addition, we can also push the markets of all Western countries behind the scenes, so that Nanshan robots cannot be exported to these markets."
"Within Huaxia, we can also find a way to grab the relevant orders from foreign-funded enterprises from Nanshan Robot."
"I think the headquarters can re-increase its investment in the Chinese market, and there may be unexpected surprises."
After Yoshida Eimasa reported the relevant news to Yutaka Kawashima, he immediately put forward a new proposal.
For him, he always wanted to return to Huaxia to be the head of the sales department.
This is not only for Fanuc, but also for himself.
Of course, going to Huaxia to be a minister is much more comfortable than being an ordinary person in charge here in Dongying headquarters, which is also a very important reason.
"The United States has not sanctioned the subsidiaries of Nanshan Group before, but the effect is not very good."
"Do you think the impact of this sanction on Nanshan Robot is so great?"
Yutaka Kawashima has lost a bit of confidence.
Of course, this situation must not be too obvious.
"Say, I think the impact this time is very big."
"We can unite with ABB and other robot manufacturers to stand up and deal with Nanshan robots."
"When we return to the situation we had ten years ago, other robot manufacturers must be happy."
Seeing that his own leader seemed to be a little moved, Yoshida Nagamasa became more active.
The left and right Huaxia branch also needs people to be responsible.
Yoshida has been there for many years and has relevant experience.
So Yutaka Kawashima quickly agreed to his proposal.
……
"Mr. Wang, this is DJI's latest drone product?"
In a conference room of Nanshan Group, Cao Yang personally met with Wang Tao and Chen Dajian.
Others are not very optimistic about DJI, but Cao Yang is optimistic.
"Yes, this product of ours is equipped with an advanced GPS navigation system that enables precise positioning and autonomous flight. This makes it easy for users to set routes, automatically return home, and avoid obstacles. ”
"It has a very stable gimbal. As a gimbal mounted on the drone's camera, the improved stability enables smooth aerial photography and video recording. ”
"Our drones excel in this, enabling users to take professional-grade photos and videos."
"It is also equipped with a variety of intelligent flight modes, such as follow mode, orbit mode and tap mode."
"These modes enable users to create stunning aerial photographs."
"As for the obstacle perception that everyone is more concerned about, our drone is equipped with front and rear sensors, which can detect obstacles on the flight path and automatically avoid them, improving the safety of flight."
"Another great thing is that our drone is very simple to operate, no need to assemble it, only need to use the remote control and App to install and control."
"And our remote control and mobile app are designed to be very intuitive, making it easy for users to control the drone, view live video and set flight parameters."
Wang Tao came to visit Cao Yang today, and the focus was naturally to introduce the company's new products.
So he summed up a few points and gave Cao Yang a good report.
"Let's go for an interview."
No matter how much you say, it's better to get started and play.
Cao Yang had not played with DJI's drones in his previous life, but he had seen other people playing them countless times.
Now it is necessary to experience the first generation of products for yourself and see how the level is.
"Mr. Cao, we can complete the test flight directly by the window of the conference room."
Wang Tao picked up a drone, walked directly to the window, pushed the window open, operated the remote control in his hand, and the drone took off slowly.
Cao Yang naturally followed to the window and watched Wang Tao demonstrate there.
There are not a few buttons on the remote control, and it is obviously a simple route.
So after Wang Tao briefly introduced it, Cao Yang followed the operation, even if he mastered it.
This threshold is really low.
It's no wonder that DJI's drones have so many ordinary consumer users behind them.
In fact, it has lowered the threshold of drones to a level that ordinary people can easily control.
"This drone, what is the highest altitude it can fly?"
A very novel idea suddenly popped into Cao Yang's mind.
However, before officially implementing this idea, he naturally wanted to figure out the performance of DJI drones.
"Our system has set a limit altitude of 500 meters for it, and if it exceeds this altitude, it may affect the safety of military and civil aircraft, so it is not allowed to fly."
"But in fact, if you really want to fly, you can go all the way up to 3,000 meters, or even 5,000 meters, until you lose signal or there is no electricity."
Unlike twin-tailed scorpion drones, DJI's drones use lithium batteries.
So the endurance is definitely not as good as the twin-tailed scorpion drone.
However, everyone's role is different, and there is no need for direct comparison.
Even between these two products, there is no comparison at all.
"Mr. Wang, in this way, Nanshan Robot will buy 100 of our drones first, and it may be able to bring you unexpected surprises when the time comes."
Because the twin-tailed scorpion drone is now considered a military aircraft, Cao Yang did not say too much to Wang Tao.
As for finding DJI to buy drones, there is naturally no problem.
In Wang Tao's view, this is Cao Yang supporting himself.
So he immediately arranged for someone to start the delivery, and delivered the drone to Nanshan Robot on the same day.
And Cao Yang also made an appointment with Pan Wei, and during this time, he settled in the Nanshan Robot UAV Division, and wanted to develop three or four engines together.
"Mr. Cao, the test flight of the twin-tailed scorpion drone is basically over, why do you arrange another test flight today?"
Pan Wei was a little confused about what kind of medicine was sold in Caoyang's gourd.
He's been busy these days.
Due to the leakage of the news of the twin-tailed scorpion drone, Huaxia has not really formed the combat effectiveness of this drone bomber.
Now everyone is preparing for this at full speed.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Cao Yang actually invited Pan Wei and others to come over to visit the test flight of the twin-tailed scorpion drone.
"This time the test flight is completely different from the last one."
"We didn't even apply for a route, we were able to complete the relevant tests directly over the factory."
Now that they have been sanctioned by the United States, the news of Nanshan Robot's production of twin-tailed scorpion drones has also been known to everyone.
Then there is no need to worry too much about being seen during the experiment.
Even if it is known, there may be a surprise.
Hearing Cao Yang say this, Pan Wei was a little more interested.
The more this drone is researched, the more it is found to be amazing.
Obviously, this is a product developed by a private enterprise "casually", but I didn't expect it to become the world's leading drone.
To put it mildly, if the ideal plan of this drone is achieved, then the enemies around China will be afraid of three more points.
Soon, Cao Yang arranged for personnel to start testing.
Of course, there are also people who are responsible for operating drones to record.
However, this time, the drone record not only has the twin-tailed scorpion, but also DJI's new products.
In this way, whether it is low altitude or high altitude, you can completely carry out relevant shooting.
"Mr. Cao, what is the test project this time?"
"How do you feel like those twin-tailed scorpions are carrying something on their hangers?"
Pan Wei held a telescope and looked at the drones that were constantly rising into the air, with questions on his face.
And just as he finished asking, something suddenly fell under the hanger of the twin-tailed scorpion drone.
Live-fire testing?
Pan Wei's first reaction was this!
No, those things aren't ammunition!
Hey?
What can fly on their own?
Just when Pan Wei wanted to continue to ask, Cao Yang did not sell Guan Zi anymore, and said directly: "It is equipped with the latest generation of aerial photography drones produced by DJI drones, and the main purpose is aerial photography and geographic mapping. ”
"But if you want it to carry some small missiles, it's not incompetent."
"This drone is small and sophisticated, but it has excellent performance."
"A twin-tailed scorpion can hang up to 12 such drones, which are constantly released during the flight, which may have an unexpected impact."
As soon as Cao Yang said this, Pan Wei immediately had a sense of picture in his mind.
It's like an egg-laying drone.
Originally, it was positioned as an unmanned bomber, but it was not only bombs and missiles that were dropped that would be dropped, but also drones.
And the dropped drone is further hung with small missiles, which can really have an unexpected effect on the special battlefield.
This innovative mounting scheme of the machine in the machine is really worth studying.
"Does this drone look small and reliable?"
Big things, sometimes with a high threshold, are difficult to produce, such as large equipment and airplanes.
However, sometimes small things have a high threshold and are more difficult to produce.
The DJI drone that Pan Wei saw obviously belongs to the relatively small existence of drones.
If it's going to be used on the battlefield, then its performance is critical.
"Representative Pan, there is absolutely no problem with the reliability of this product."
"When the time comes, I can send you a few prototypes to take back for testing."
"The most important thing is that such a drone costs less than 10,000 yuan a piece."
"As long as you carry a miniature missile and fly over the tank, you can directly scrap tens of millions of tanks."
"In the future battlefield, it may be able to play an unexpected role."
"Any torrent of steel will be greatly tarnished in front of drones."
Cao Yang's words, Pan Wei may not feel much when he hears it now.
After all, in the absence of actual combat or exercises, no one would think that a small drone can bring much threat to the king of land warfare tank.
When someone's air defense system is dry?
However, after the actual exercise, Cao Yang believes that Pan Wei's thinking will definitely change very much.
Now the drones produced by DJI still do not use stealth coatings.
When the time comes, Nanshan Group will process it and give it another layer of stealth paint, and it is estimated that the lethality will be on a higher level.
Of course, the ordinary version that will be sold to the outside world in the future will definitely not need to be reprocessed by Nanshan Group.
But it is not the same when sold to special departments.
"Mr. Cao, this new carrying method is very innovative, but how effective it is, we will test it when we go back."
"But I'll also report on the ideas you said about dealing with tanks."
After Pan Wei finished speaking, he couldn't wait to ask Cao Yang to arrange someone to deliver the DJI drone to the designated location.
It just so happens that the relevant departments are in full swing to prepare for the actual combat of the twin-tailed scorpion UAV.
Now it seems that there is no problem in sending DJI drones over to try new combat methods.
Of course, along with the two DJI technicians who were sent over.
They help operate the drones and teach others how to use and modify them.
And the relevant departments were also very persuasive after being deflated on the twin-tailed scorpion drone.
After receiving the DJI drone, he immediately contacted a nearby tank battalion to do an exercise.
Although the scale of the exercise is small, there is no special coverage.
But the results of the exercise alarmed many.
"Four twin-tailed scorpion drones were dispatched, and the air defense battalion did not detect them."
"And then these twin-tailed scorpion drones released 48 small drones that easily destroyed an entire tank battalion?"
When the results of the exercise were reported, the relevant departments held a summary meeting overnight.
If it weren't for the fact that there was always a special twin-tailed scorpion drone responsible for shooting and recording this exercise, it is estimated that it would be difficult for everyone to believe that it was real.
It's almost like playing a game, and a tank regiment is annihilated?
That's an exaggeration, isn't it?
Will there be a major change in the form of ground warfare in the future?
Thinking of this, the participants all paid several levels more attention to this exercise.
"It's hard to believe, but that's what it is."
"In fact, even if you don't use the twin-tailed scorpion drones, these DJI drones are likely to be able to achieve some surprising results."
"However, due to problems such as idle time, the person who needs to operate the drone is relatively close to the target."
"There is no problem on specific occasions, but if you want to go deep into the enemy area, it is best to have a twin-tailed scorpion drone to cooperate."
"In an exaggerated situation, we can directly dispatch the twin-tailed scorpion drone from thousands of kilometers away, and let it carry the DJI drone to the designated location and quickly destroy the target."
"In the midst of strategizing, winning thousands of miles away, this will become a reality."
As soon as this scene was spoken, everyone present thought of that picture.
Seem......
It's cool!
It's exciting!
I'm looking forward to it!
"So are we going to treat DJI drones like twin-tailed scorpion drones?"
"Directly restrict the sale of their products to the outside world so as not to divulge secrets?"
It's normal for someone to have such thoughts.
After all, DJI's drone can now also be used in the military.
However, this view has not been endorsed by the leadership.
"These two drones are still different, the twin-tailed scorpion is a large drone, and there are very few civilian scenes."
"But DJI's drones are prepared for aerial photography, geographic mapping, search and rescue, agriculture and other aspects, and the biggest use is actually for civilian use, if we directly requisition, the future technological progress may be slowed down."
"It's better to let them develop freely without interference, but we can also customize a batch of drones through a third party."
"In this way, in the future, when necessary, we can also give full play to the strength of this drone."
When this new point of view came out, it was immediately recognized by the majority of people.
DJI drones have also avoided the same fate as the twin-tailed scorpion drones.
And after this exercise, DJI is also well-known in the relevant departments.
Of course, people outside of this are not aware of this.
For DJI, they just have an extra order of 1,000 units.
This is the largest order since DJI's founding, and it has been a great incentive for the entire team.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, DJI's sales team also began to work hard.
Since the sales of this drone are not subject to any restrictions, the sales staff are starting from abroad.
After all, the price of related drone exhibits abroad is higher.
DJI's Phantom 1 is a spike in the face of those civilian drones on the market.
Almost from the time of the start of external sales, we can get various orders every day.
The Phantom 1 drone is a small range of popularity in the industry.
As one of the driving forces behind it, Cao Yang focused on another thing at this time.
