Chapter 13 Money is spent on the back of the knife
Gan Buting always felt that the cash was insufficient.
But what he didn’t know was that Chen Chen didn’t have this little cash yet.
All counting on tailwind funding.
It is almost midsummer, and the weather is gradually getting violent.
Even if you don't do anything, it's like taking a sauna.
So Chen Chenyuan spent another amount of money to provide high-temperature subsidies to employees participating in the Double-tailed Scorpion project.
He didn’t want to spend money, and he didn’t want his employees to suffer from heat stroke.
There is no way, the project is imminent.
Everything is ready, all it needs is a test flight.
Since the acquisition had not yet been completed, Chendun had no choice but to conduct a test flight with a bare machine without painting.
Early July.
They conducted their first test flight at Jiangqiao Airport in the eastern suburbs of Qianjiang.
This was a civil airport in the early days. Later, due to the needs of urban development, the civil services were moved to the suburbs.
Only a small part of the cargo business is left at Jiangqiao Airport, with most functions serving military purposes.
Later, a new military airport was built in the western suburbs.
Jiangqiao Airport is almost at a semi-standstill.
With the development of the city, more and more residential areas are built around the airport.
This also caused certain difficulties for the test flight that day.
Fortunately, the test flight was a complete success. From takeoff to liftoff to landing, there were no major mistakes.
The only fly in the ointment is that.
After the test flight, many residents complained about the huge noise caused by the flying activities of the drone.
So, the second test flight took place three days later.
Chen Chen decisively painted the new plane in black, and wrote huge words "Sailwind" on the sides of the fuselage.
Noise is caused by the shape of the aircraft and involves aerodynamic technology.
Chen Chen was temporarily unable to improve.
What he can do is let Shunfeng take the blame for disturbing the people, so that the air traffic control department will no longer cause trouble for Chen Dun.
The second test flight was also a complete success.
The flight distance and altitude have improved compared to the first time.
In Chen Chen's opinion, this is all basic stuff. What he really cares about is the aircraft's delivery function.
This version of the aircraft has been upgraded with a courier pod.
Not only does it have an aerodynamic streamlined design, but it also has its own power.
After arriving at the designated location, the mother aircraft releases the daughter aircraft.
The machine will automatically navigate to the delivery address with the goods and then deliver the goods.
Chen Chen thinks this function is very practical, and he can use it as an excuse to ask for another research and development fee.
However, there were some hiccups during the test flight.
Nearby residents saw the plane dropping into the express warehouse, thought it was an air raid, and immediately called the police.
Although the misunderstanding was explained clearly.
But Shunfeng received a ticket inexplicably.
In a blink of an eye.
Thirteen test flights passed.
Chen Chen felt that he had gained a lot.
He does have systematic assistance, but manufacturing is not just as simple as I think. If one link is not done well, the whole game will be lost easily.
Be beaten as early as possible.
He believes that the first experiment has eliminated the pitfalls, and he will not have to pay the price for it in the future.
Just before the start of the fourteenth test flight.
The shrew Shen Xin suddenly arrives.
After hearing the news, Cao Zihua immediately skipped work and went straight to Hailan House in the mall next door to dress up and prepare to surprise the goddess.
So Chen Chen could only meet the shrew alone.
“Mr. Chen, this is outrageous!”
Shen Xin immediately slapped the financial statements on the table.
Hands on hips, menacing.
Chen Chen smiled, thinking that Cao Zihua would have to prepare his own steel wire balls if he saw the royal sister getting angry.
“What’s wrong?”
“What’s wrong? Why did we overspend another twelve million?”
"I bought something, don't worry, I spent the money wisely."
Before coming, Wei Xiaoqian warned Shen Xin and asked Wan to speak properly.
Everything is based on advancing the project.
So Shen Xin could only rub her chest and try her best to suppress her anger.
“What did you buy? Equipment or raw materials.”
"Bought a company." "???"
Chen Chen was so calm that Shen Xin couldn't handle it.
Good guy.
You are making doge coins at home like this.
Buying a company is like buying a bottle of drink.
"What company?"
"Qiguang Metamaterials."
Shen Xin immediately took out her mobile phone, and she could find this company through Sky Eye Check.
Tell the truth.
For Tailwind's size, annexing this kind of company seems like a joke.
But the problem is.
At this juncture, why would you buy a company that makes automotive supplies?
“What does Qiguang have to do with our project?”
Chen Chen felt that the explanation was a bit complicated.
Because Shen Xin seems to be untechnical.
If you tell him about metamaterials, she will ask why you need to speculate on the materials.
So he could only say in general terms: "Qiguang is an important part of the supply chain. I think it is more reliable to have the core technology in my own hands."
"Okay, okay, you are unreasonable. "More!"
Shen Xin took out a pile of tickets from his bag.
"Then please explain to me why our Shunfeng headquarters received so many fines for nuisance."
"This one says we were flying in residential areas in the middle of the night and dropping bombs."
>"What's going on? Our airports are all in the outer suburbs. Is it your fault?"
Shen Xin didn't come mainly for money this time.
The increasing number of fines led to interviews with the Civil Aviation Administration, and the headquarters had to pay attention.
When it comes to this.
Chen Chen was excited: "So, we want to acquire Qiguang."
"???"
"Qiguang is engaged in aircraft painting. , with them here, the probability of air traffic control detecting us will be very low, and there will be no tickets.”
“You mean, the plane can shield the radar?”
Shen Xin is not as Muggle as Chen Chen imagined.
In fact, after the establishment of the Two-tailed Scorpion project, she also gained some knowledge.
"Yes, don't worry, the paint is already being developed. The air traffic control radar may not be useful for later test flights."
"Oh...stealth...that's not right! Why do we need to be invisible when we deliver express?"
Shen Xin suddenly understood.
Not to mention whether your stealth technology can be realized, what is the starting point?
Chen Chen raised his head and thought for a long time: "A surprise for the customer?"
"Ni Zuokai! You really spent every penny on the back of the knife!"
Shen Xin once accepted his fate.
I think Wei Xiao and Chen Chen can just do it. How much money can be spent on a drone project.
But he obviously underestimated Chen Chen.
This handsome guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes is more prodigal than the old ladies.
She even suspected that Chen Chen bought Qiguang not for the stealth technology, but simply for money laundering.
You wonder.
Can an automotive supplies factory produce invisible paint?
What's going on?
How can you make so many scientific research institutes so embarrassed?
Thinking of this, Shen Xin was not ready to break up with Chen Chen anymore.
The deal is done, she wants to slap Chen Chen in the face with the facts.
“On the 8th of next month, our company was invited to participate in a military material support exercise.”
"Now that your plane can fly."
"General Wei means that you should also participate."
Wei Xiao's idea is very simple, taking advantage of the exercise to build a The stage gave her a long face.
But Shen Xin feels that it will only be embarrassing when the time comes.
But she agreed to let Chendun participate in the exercise.
Because only in this way can Wei Xiao wake up completely.
Chen Dun messed up on the big occasion, which will permanently damage Wei Xiao's self-confidence. Maybe the national one-day delivery strategy will not be mentioned in the future.
Shen Xin was like an ultimatum: "Be prepared."
"If you screw up..."
"Remember to bring your invisibility-breaking device to the court. Airplane.”
