Chapter 764: We love peace, and all our products are not suitable for military use

Since it is a product that is put on display, Daystar Group naturally has a plan to sell it to the outside world.

Naturally, the Golden Eagle UAV can also be sold.

The more strategic twin-tailed scorpion drones have already sold their production lines to big dogs, and the Golden Eagle drones are naturally no problem.

Anyway, like the twin-tailed scorpion drone, the Golden Eagle sells a version without stealth paint.

And the grade of carbon fiber material on the fuselage of the Golden Eagle sold to the outside world is also different.

One is up to T800, and the other is with T1100 or even T1200.

The gap is still quite obvious.

The former weighs 500 kilograms, while the latter can weigh almost 100 kilograms less, which means that the latter can carry more fuel and make the drone's stay in the air longer.

This is also of great significance.

Otherwise, although your drone is very powerful, it will run out of fuel after flying in the sky for an hour, and it will not be practical.

"Prince Fariha, happy cooperation!"

Before leaving, Zhao Siyu discussed with Cao Yang some things about the external sales of Golden Eagle, and the local tyrants in the Middle East were the main targets.

Now that the fish has been successfully hooked, he naturally agreed without any hesitation.

There is no harm in dealing with these local tyrants.

If you are entangled and entangled, it is possible that this order will be lost.

"If you have time, I invite you to visit the unmanned factory specializing in the production of drones at Daystar Technology Group."

"This factory is the most advanced drone factory in the world."

"Whether it is a twin-tailed scorpion drone or a Golden Eagle drone, it can achieve highly automated production."

Although the local tyrant only bought the Golden Eagle drone today, Zhao Siyu felt that there were still new orders to fight for in the future.

Besides, even if they sell the production line to others, they actually don't have the strength to fully realize local production.

It's nothing more than buying some parts back and producing them yourself.

Of course, in order to make the investment in this factory a little more decent, so as not to become a simple assembly factory, Daystar can still sell the production line of some parts such as the fuselage to them.

When the time comes, carbon fiber will be sold directly and processed into a fuselage in other people's factories.

It's also a little bit of a sense of participation.

As for whether such a model will cause dissatisfaction among others, Zhao Siyu feels that there is no need to worry about it at all.

Those people never thought that they would be able to produce 100% of the parts for their drones.

This involves the layout of the entire industrial chain, and it is not something that can be done with $1 billion at all.

"No problem, we'd like to visit tomorrow."

The name of Daystar, they have obviously heard of it too.

Now that there is an opportunity to visit, Fariha will naturally not refuse.

When Zhao Siyu and Faliha had a warm exchange, the news that Daystar had made a big order of $3 billion was also quickly spread.

"Mr. Cao, in the words of you Lingnan people, Daystar is the most beautiful boy no matter where he is."

Qian Junfeng's heart was so sour.

Aerospace science and technology also have missiles.

But this time, none of them were sold.

On the contrary, Daystar sold 5,000 pieces in one go.

Although it is only a miniature missile, the number of 5,000 missiles is too exaggerated.

Even in the world, there are not a few transactions like this.

Even Qian Junfeng had never heard of anyone buying 5,000 missiles in one go.

When this is a normal bomb, huh?

"If you master the core technology, you will naturally attract customers."

Cao Yang didn't care about Qian Junfeng's sour taste at this time.

As the company that has spent the most energy in the past year, Daystar has made breakthroughs in many technologies.

It can even be said that Daystar Technology Group is the most high-tech group among the five major groups.

Now only a few products such as twin-tailed scorpions, golden eagles and miniature missiles have been brought out, and soon the Daystar 9 recyclable rocket, helicopter, business jet and other products will also be launched one after another.

When the time comes, the impact on everyone will be bigger and bigger.

"You can make at least $2.5 billion in a single business, right?"

If you engage in the arms trade, it will inevitably be highly profitable.

So 2.5 billion of the 3 billion orders are profits, which is not an exaggeration at all.

Of course, sometimes it depends on how you calculate the cost.

If all kinds of R&D expenses and investment expenses are amortized, the cost may increase several times at once, which is normal.

After all, for some companies, costs are also something that can be flexibly adjusted to a certain extent.

"Where is it so exaggerated, you don't know how much money Daystar has burned in the last year."

"With this business, we can only ensure that Daystar Technology Group will not lose money this year."

"As for wanting to make money, I guess it's still very stressful."

When Cao Yang said this, Qian Junfeng was not easy to refute.

After all, he was talking about the profit of the trade of the Golden Eagle UAV, but Cao Yang was talking about the entire group.

He also knows that there are many new products under development on the side of Daystar, and before this kind of product is developed, it is constantly burning money.

And he also heard that Daystar has a lot of action and ambitions, and the investment in manpower and material resources is very large.

……

When Daystar was very lively, the second big order during the air show was quickly generated.

Polar Bear ordered 5,000 of DJI's latest quad-spinning drones in one go.

Although the contract value is only 100 million US dollars, the amount is staggering.

One of the polar bear's generals even said in an interview with reporters:

"The ordinary four-spin UAV produced in China can no longer be simply understood as a UAV, it has subverted the traditional rocket artillery, and successfully solved a series of problems of reconnaissance, error correction and strike."

"When the drone approaches or docks over the target, its precision strike efficiency is comparable to that of a precision-guided missile, but at a lower cost."

"And DJI's four-suspension drone is one of the best."

Wang Tao heard the other party talking to reporters like this, and quickly added a sentence next to him: "We focus on the research and development and production of private drones, we are peace-loving, and all of DJI's products are not suitable for military use." ”

These two statements, which are a bit contradictory, directly made some people laugh.

"Mr. Cao, Mr. Wang of this DJI drone can be regarded as your true biography."

"What do polar bears do when they buy DJI drones back, they must be used for military purposes."

"Mr. Wang has always emphasized that his drones are not suitable for military use."

"This is the same as your twin-tailed scorpion drone, which is obviously used as a military unmanned bomber, but it has always advertised that it is engaged in express transportation."

Wu Feng and Cao Yang also witnessed the process of signing a contract between DJI and the polar bear.

So I couldn't help but complain to Cao Yang.

"We're not wrong, the twin-tailed scorpion was originally used for transportation, and transporting missiles is also for transportation."

"What Mr. Wang said is also reasonable, when they developed drones, they were completely developed as civilian products."

"However, the performance of the product is too good, and it is difficult for customers to use it for other purposes after buying it."

"Just like our Xingchen G9 pickup version, some customers in the Middle East and Africa have to put a heavy machine gun on it after buying it back and turn it into a special combat vehicle, and we have no choice."

Cao Yang spread his hands, not embarrassed at all.

This world is not only black and white.

Between black and white, there is also a large gray area.

"Aren't your airborne radars and shipborne radars also going to be displayed?"

"Why didn't I see you in the booth?"

Cao Yang didn't want to continue to talk to Wu Feng on the topic of military and civilian use, so he directly changed the topic.

"We knew that the focus of the first morning was on your side, so we simply put the launch of these two products in the afternoon."

"Now they're still covered in red cloth, but they're showing some radar from the previous generation."

"With the active phased array radars of the GaN T/R components compared there, these old radars naturally have nothing to look good at."

Wu Feng didn't hide it at all, and told Cao Yang about the company's arrangements.

Anyway, in the new generation of radar, the biggest hero is Nanshan Semiconductor.

"If the polar bears find out that your airborne radar is cheaper than their own production, they will probably be depressed."

Airborne radar is not simply produced with T/R components, but also involves a series of overall designs.

The price of Polar Bear's T/R module is already one step higher than that of the Electronics Technology Group.

Coupled with other electronic components used in the overall processing process, the final cost must be relatively high.

Of course, military radars are sometimes not so cost-conscious.

Good performance is what everyone pays attention to the most.

"Our export version of the airborne radar will definitely be much more expensive than the domestic one, after all, it depends on foreign trade to make money."

"But if you sell it for more than the polar bears produce it themselves, then it doesn't make sense."

"So eventually the polar bears will find it cheaper to buy radar from us than to produce it themselves."

Wu Feng also knew a lot about the situation on the polar bear's side, so he gave his guess with certainty.

"That's right, but the polar bear should still want to keep such an important thing as airborne radar in its own hands, and at most it will only buy a small part from Huaxia."

Cao Yang is not worried that the profits from the radar trade on the polar bear's side will be taken away by the Electric Technology Group.

Because it is impossible for any major country to hand over such an important product to foreign production.

In the afternoon, when the CETC Group really began to introduce their new generation of airborne radar and shipborne radar, it really attracted a lot of people's attention.

Several countries that came to participate in the air show and had good relations with China also expressed strong interest in these radars.

In particular, Pakistan Railway is eager to immediately replace its latest generation fighter with this radar.

Then, when dealing with Tianzhu's fighters, there is an absolute advantage.

After all, the performance of Tianzhu's various fighters is literally better than that of Pakistan.

Polar Bear has many advanced fighter jets that dare not be sold to Huaxia, but when they are sold to Tianzhu, there is no pressure at all.

As long as you can afford to pay for it.

Relatively speaking, Pakistan is much worse.

If there is a breakthrough in radar, it will be very beneficial to improve the situation.

After all, in terms of airborne radar, the most mature airborne fire control radar of the Polar Bear is the Snow Leopard E passive phased array radar of the Su-35 fighter.

None of this is yet active.

The active phased array radar that is now sold by the Electric Technology Group using gallium nitride T/R components is currently being sold.

This performance is definitely several levels higher than the mass-produced radar of the Polar Bear.

There are many independent units of active phased array radar, in addition to excellent antennas, there are extremely high requirements for the chip processing ability, software algorithm ability, operating system and so on of the radar system.

Therefore, even if Polar Bear buys T/R components from Nanshan Semiconductor to produce active phased array radar in the future, the final radar performance is far inferior to that of the Electric Technology Group.

The people of Pakistan and Railway are also clear about these situations.

So in the end, the third big order on the air show happened between Pakistan Railway and the Electric Technology Group.

The other side purchased 20 sets of airborne active phased array radars, and the purchase amount reached 40 million US dollars.

This price, compared to what is sold in the United States, is definitely the price of cabbage.

But considering the economic strength of Pakistan Railway, this price is no longer cheap.

After all, after buying it back, it is necessary to modify the fighter, which also requires costs.

"Mr. Cao, can we strengthen cooperation in terms of missiles?"

Qian Junfeng saw that there were orders from Daystar and Dianke Group, and he must be uncomfortable in his heart as far as aerospace technology was still a duck egg.

It's not that they don't have fist products, but many of them are still under development and don't have formal equipment-related departments.

In this case, it is naturally not suitable to take it out for display.

Even after mass production in the future, it may not be able to sell to the outside world so quickly.

If we can cooperate with Daystar, we can develop a group of high-performance missiles and supply them to relevant domestic departments, and then the backward products will be used for export.

At that time, the export market for all kinds of missiles is also worth looking forward to.

"No problem, Daystar is also developing miniature missiles now, and our main focus is also on miniature missiles."

"But there are technologies that can be used in ship-based missiles, air-to-air missiles, and even intercontinental missiles."

"In particular, we have unique advantages in the processing of high-end carbon fiber, the processing of electronic components and the software design."

"When the time comes, it is entirely possible to combine the advantages of aerospace science and technology in missile engines and finally produce world-class missiles of all kinds."

Since Cao Yang has focused on Daystar, he naturally hopes to promote the development of Huaxia in terms of military technology.

With advanced radar, there is no way to bring out the performance of a fighter without advanced missiles.

Therefore, the upgrading of missile technology is an inevitable thing.

As for the research and development of fighters, Cao Yang is not very worried.

Knowing the historical development, he knows very well that the relevant departments are already working on the research and development of J-20 fighter jets and other products, and will soon make major breakthroughs.

At that time, Huaxia's strength will inevitably reach a new level.

"Then I'll go back and arrange for the relevant person in charge of missile design to contact you, and we will work together to develop a few different missiles."

Qian Junfeng was afraid that Cao Yang would regret it, so he immediately finalized the matter.

And with the passage of time, what happened at the Zhucheng Air Show slowly began to ferment on the Internet.

In particular, the news related to the Golden Eagle UAV is on the hot search.

After all, ordinary people have very little understanding of radar, and no matter how fancy the electronic technology group says, most people are still not interested.

However, the situation is different for people who can directly see products with beautiful appearances such as Golden Eagle drones.

There are no new models of fighters or transport aircraft at this year's air show, so the heat is even more attracted by the new unmanned helicopter of the Golden Eagle.

"It's so funny, such a product, Daystar actually calls it an unmanned firefighting helicopter."

"It's still the local tyrants in the Middle East who are rich, and they don't hesitate to spend $3 billion at all."

"Don't you think the local tyrants are very knowledgeable? This unmanned firefighting helicopter is completely an unmanned gunship! ”

"That's right, Daystar even has a miniature missile for you!"

"The upstairs is wrong, this is not a miniature missile, everyone says it's a fire bomb!"

"Didn't you find the DJI drone interview with the polar bear more interesting? One desperately praises your outstanding performance in the military, and the other desperately denies that your products can be used in the military. ”

"I heard that the second largest shareholder of DJI UAV is Mr. Cao, which is in the same vein as Daystar."

"The drone swarm tactics of the opening ceremony, no one realizes the importance?"

"Hundreds, or even thousands of drones are dispatched together, and the scene is indeed spectacular."

"I kind of regret not going to this air show."

……

All kinds of comments have increased the popularity of the Zhucheng Air Show by several levels.

And these comments and related news naturally spread overseas very quickly.

There have always been American-related companies that have been paying attention to the movements in China, and they are even more nervous at this time.

"Pulent, Daystar has even taken out unmanned helicopters now, will your company's similar products be mass-produced next year?"

John saw all kinds of news about the air show in China early in the morning, so he immediately called Plint of General Atomics.

When Daystar first released the appearance of the unmanned helicopter, although it also caused a lot of sensation, it was only an appearance drawing, and I don't know when it will be developed.

For example, some blockbuster products in the United States have been developed for ten or eight years, and the slow ones may have been developed for decades.

Therefore, John thought that no matter how fast Daystar's actions were, it would definitely take two or three years to complete the development of an unmanned helicopter.

Who knew that the situation was not like that at all.

"It is difficult to develop helicopters, it is even more difficult to develop unmanned helicopters, and it is even more difficult to develop military unmanned helicopters."

"Not to mention next year, even if it can be done the year after next, it will already be a very good performance."

Plint is also under pressure right now.

They are the largest manufacturer of traditional drones in the United States.

However, traditional combat UAVs are mainly fixed-wing, which has the advantages of large payload, long endurance and high speed, but at the same time has the defects of large targets and easy to be discovered.

In the face of a perfect air defense system, the battlefield survivability of fixed-wing UAVs is very poor, so much so that some expensive large fixed-wing UAVs only dare to patrol outside the defense area.

Although the conventional wisdom is that drones are relatively cheap to build and are not afraid of losses, they are useless if they cannot complete their combat mission.

The unmanned helicopter is developed by integrating the advantages of traditional UAVs and helicopters, which not only retains the advantages of "zero casualties" and low cost of traditional UAVs.

It also has the ability of helicopter vertical take-off and landing, fixed-point hovering, and low-altitude evasion of radar detection, which is expected to make up for the shortcomings of traditional UAVs and manned helicopters in the modern battlefield environment, and then gain new advantages that affect the war situation.

These advantages, Plint naturally also sees in his eyes.

But after organizing the relevant personnel to start research and development, he found that the work was not so easy to do.

Simply getting an unmanned helicopter out is not a big problem.

But it will be very difficult to come up with a high-performance unmanned helicopter.

"It takes so long?"

"At that time, Huaxia's unmanned helicopters have been installed on a large scale."

Clearly, John was dissatisfied with Plinter's answer.

"John, you know, unmanned helicopters need to deal with a lot of time-sensitive targets."

"For example, the enemy's close proximity to one's own combat vehicles and soldiers requires its communication capability to be extremely fast and fast, and it is highly integrated into the ground and air joint combat information system to achieve time-sensitive strikes."

"At the same time, unmanned helicopters need to have highly intelligent and highly autonomous mission control technology, and even be able to change tasks and targets according to battlefield conditions."

"In this way, the role of the operator will be mainly to formulate tasks, identify targets, and decide to launch attacks, and more 'monitoring' and 'decision-making' than specific operations."

"On the surface, the unmanned helicopter is only a small helicopter with weapons, but its full set of combat control bodies with an integrated mission computer as the core, the level of intelligence and autonomy is comparable to that of the most advanced combat drones, and in some fields it is even more complex than a fighter jet."

Taking this opportunity, Plint naturally wanted to cry to John about his difficulties.

Otherwise, when the time comes, you will feel that the progress of General Atomics is not good.

Even this is a foreshadowing of high prices in the future.

"Huaxia has already started to sell to the outside world, and judging from the performance they announced, it is not bad at all."

"You said so many difficulties, why can people solve them so quickly?"

John wasn't that easy to fool either.

He can be regarded as having seen a lot of the faces of various arms dealers, and knows these people's little ninety-nine.

"Their performance can only fool the local tyrants in the Middle East, have you seen other countries buy?"

Plint immediately seized a good counter-attack.

Although the Golden Eagle unmanned helicopter has begun to be sold to the outside world, only the UAE has purchased it at present.

There are many local tyrants in the Middle East, and their actions to buy arms are often quite special.

"I'll report this situation to the five/corner/building, and then let them arrange someone to inquire about the specific performance."

"At the same time, I will also find a way to coordinate a fee, and when the time comes, I will buy a few of them for everyone to disassemble and test and study, just like buying a twin-tailed scorpion drone."

John didn't want to continue arguing with Plinter, it didn't make sense.

He didn't call Plinter today to quarrel.

The changes in Huaxia are so big, and major breakthroughs have been made in drones repeatedly.

As a responsible person, John was actually quite anxious in his heart.

Of course, the more this is the case, the more important he is.

Because the various arms companies will find a way to get him to help apply for some fees.

The doorway here is very particular.
