Chapter 163 You get what you pay for
“Chief, we are ready.”
“Let’s get started.”
Luan Wenyuan, the leader of the Aviation Industry Group, was filled with trepidation He came to Lin Xiao to ask for instructions.
At this moment he no longer has the same ambition as before.
The project just presented by the 11th Academy cannot be said to be excellent, but it is also a comprehensive drone with excellent performance.
Chief Lin questioned the whole process and rarely gave any comments of approval.
It shows that their standards are very high.
Also.
The two young men standing next to Chief Lin are not easy to fool.
His only source of confidence now is the uniqueness of his project.
"My project code is 500A, which is a small coaxial twin-rotor tailless helicopter."
"The same design as Wuzhi?"
Lin Xiao watched with attention This plane, which is only the size of a motorcycle, has a slightly curious look in its eyes.
Its rotor is located at the top and is divided into two layers.
I am used to seeing multi-axis rotor drones, but seeing a helicopter-shaped aircraft really brightened my eyes.
Luan Wenyuan cautiously explained: "There is still some debate about the rotor layout of armed helicopters."
"Some people think that dual rotors are better, some people think that the traditional layout is better, and benevolent people have different opinions. Wisdom. ”
“But after our analysis and argument, we feel that the twin-rotor is currently the optimal solution.”
I can tell.
Luan Wenyuan is also a good product manager.
We have been considering the needs of Party A from the beginning, and have the word navy on our lips all the time.
The attitude is finally shown.
But Lin Xiao was not one to let go easily. He did not let him brush it off, but asked in depth: "What's so good about it?"
Luan Wenyuan: "First of all, the coaxial twin-rotor helicopter is installed on a concentric axis. The two rotors on the aircraft will rotate in opposite directions and generate torque offset, so there is no need for a tail rotor to balance. ”
"This saves a lot of space."
"Most of the navy's equipment needs to be mounted on the ship, so space is particularly important."
"In addition, its route control is by changing It is realized by the combination of upper and lower rotors. Since there is no power loss from the tail rotor, the hovering efficiency is 17%-30% higher than that of a single rotor.”
“Also, due to the coaxial twin-rotor fuselage. It can be made very short, so its structural weight and load are concentrated at the center of gravity, thereby reducing the moment of inertia of the helicopter's pitch and yaw, and having higher acceleration characteristics..."
Luan Wenyuanyi I couldn't control it, so I started to make an argument report rigorously and carefully. The deeper I went, the more unfamiliar and difficult it was to understand the vocabulary.
Lin Xiao frowned when he heard this, wondering if you could just sit down and write your thesis.
"So I still have a background in helicopters? Then the question is, why don't I just get on the helicopter?"
Luan Wenyuan was obviously more prepared and was not confused by the chief's questioning. With ease.
“Because helicopters cannot reach this size.”
“The 500A is only one-eighth the size of traditional helicopters and one-third shorter than traditional unmanned helicopters.”
"But under this size, the Zaihe can still maintain a load of 500 kilograms and can reach a speed of 140km."
"The endurance is higher than that of traditional unmanned helicopters, with a maximum endurance of more than 5 hours."
"In addition, this aircraft can take off and land autonomously in level 6 windy weather."
Lin Xiao listened with great interest.
From time to time, I look back at the eyes of the leaders behind me.
He could obviously see it.
This time there was light in the eyes of the Marines.
True.
Start from the needs of this theater.
Unmanned helicopters seem to be an effective solution to tactical needs.
It can fill the gaps in the connection between high and low altitudes and high and low speeds, as Chen Chen and Qi Mang said.
There are large fixed-wing drones at the top, and small drones with integrated inspection and attack capabilities at the bottom.
500A has indeed found a suitable positioning for itself.
The size of the entire aircraft is small.
It also looks very intuitive.
Especially the exposed hardpoints under the aircraft, Lin Xiao could see clearly.
"What about the tactical function? I see that there are quite a few missile mounting points under your aircraft."
Lan Wenyuan squatted down and pointed to the structure at the bottom of the aircraft: "This aircraft once It can carry 8 Blue Arrow 9 air-to-ground missiles, or 4 Blue Arrow 5A air-to-ground missiles, as well as the same type of rockets, guided bombs and other ammunition. "
"In this way, it is mainly anti-tank. Mainly." Lin Xiao speculated on the functionality of the aircraft based on the type of ammunition it carries.
Luan Wenyuan nodded and said: "In addition to strike, 500a can also shoulder fire reconnaissance, artillery positioning, target irradiation, communications and other tasks."
"Then isn't your aircraft more suitable for the Special Operations Brigade and the Army Aviation Brigade?"
Lin Xiao has served in all branches of the military and can be called an all-rounder.
So just by describing it, you can blurt out the optimal tactical use of this aircraft.
Everyone can hear it.
Chief Lin is trying every means to find fault.
But Luan Wenyuan seems to be well prepared: "Theoretically, this kind of equipment is very suitable for combined brigades and other land combat units."
"But we have studied the needs of the Yangcheng Theater."
"Just Take beach landings and point operations in complex urban environments as examples. ”
“Because of its small size, the 500A can be equipped on a large number of ships and complete landing missions together with the Marine Corps.”
< br>“At the same time, it has a bomb-carrying advantage that small drones cannot match.”
"A battalion equipped with a helicopter is equivalent to having an air service advantage."
Having said that.
Lin Xiao could only feel the chatter of the Marine Corps behind him.
This is like taking your children to the mall during the Chinese New Year.
The boy walked to the door of the toy store and couldn't calm down at all.
It seems impossible to count on them to provide opinions.
So he looked at Chen Chen.
This guy is whispering to Qi Mang again, probably in private again. Lin Xiao didn't want to let him go and said loudly: "Mr. Chen is having a small meeting again? What are you talking about so excitedly? Let's listen together."
Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Chen Chen and Qi Mang.
Everyone is looking forward to it and wants to hear what Chen Chen has to say.
Only Luan Wenyuan felt nervous.
It's like taking a test.
Chen Chen still kept the false politeness: "Huh? Isn't that good? Some things are hard to talk about on the table."
"Don't worry." Lin Xiao gave him one to eat Reassurance. "The level of your morning shield is obvious to all. I invited you here to be the referee. Don't be afraid of offending others."
"Then I'll say it."
"Say!"
Chen Chen helplessly spread his hands: "Qi Mang asked me just now, if Optimus Prime was lonely, would he find an online ride-hailing service? ”
“? ”
“Be more serious.”
"You must listen. I told you that it is not appropriate to speak in public."
"..."
Lin Xiao was stunned at that time.
The crowd was laughing too.
However, this small episode adjusted the tense and suffocating atmosphere of the scene.
Lin Xiao also smiled helplessly and said: "There is no text every day. To put it nicely, you are men until you die, but to say it is to say that you are really idle. Don't talk nonsense, what do you think of this plane? I want an accurate The answer."
"Very good, very good." Chen Chen blurted out without thinking.
“I want to listen to the truth after thinking about it.”
Chen Chen is very sure: “It is the truth. The coaxial design has achieved the ultimate in energy consumption and size. Small size download The weight is also online, and the teachers are experts in weapons. If I have to give a score, I will give it 82 points, and I will send the remaining 18 points as 666.”
Next. Second.
Luan Wenyuan's body clearly relaxed, and his face couldn't help but show an expression of surviving a disaster.
Chief Lin asked Chen Chen to be the referee, but everyone had no objection.
Where can I put my level?
Luan Wenyuan also has a very upright attitude. If others criticize him, it means he has room for improvement.
If people recognize it, it is a great compliment.
Technology has no age or seniority.
Renchendun has many mature products, so naturally it has the right to judge itself.
"Mr. Chen, you are overly complimentary." Luan Wenyuan quickly raised his hand to express his gratitude.
Chen Chen also returned the gift: "Teacher, you're welcome, and by the way, what's the cost of your machine?"
"200w."
"Oh, that's really awesome, you get what you pay for."
Seeing this scene.
Lin Xiao’s eyes suddenly darkened.
Chen Chen seemed to have said nothing, but in fact he said everything.
The plane is a good plane, but at this price, it is just average.
Similar airframe design and tactical role.
One hundred thousand yuan, that is a magical weapon for attacking enemies.
Five hundred thousand, which is almost practical equipment.
One million is remarkable.
Two million, "...".
After Chen Chen asked about the price, he consciously took two steps back and continued to discuss the issue of online car-hailing with Qi Mang.
Lin Xiao did not continue to embarrass him, and turned to look at Luan Wenyuan: "The aircraft is very good. You said so many characteristics of drones before, and I agree."
" But Luan Gong, you forgot one final important feature.”
“The biggest feature of drones is that they are unmanned. Unmanned means that I don’t have to be a pilot and I don’t have to be responsible for the pilot.”
< br>“So when used in a battlefield environment, a large number of drones do not consider coming back.”
"This thing of yours costs 2 million, and it can't form a strategic strike like the two-tailed scorpion. I feel bad if I throw it out and not come back."
Luan Wenyuan held it in for a long time: "The leader means to form a cluster. Combat capability, but aircraft of the same type need to be clustered and have the ultimate industrial assembly line. We can reduce the cost, provided that the demand is infinite."
"I understand, so this aircraft is currently available. , I feel it is more suitable for export. 2 million is a bit expensive for us, but for the wealthy, it is just a waste of money.”
Lin Xiao’s opinion is very clear.
The plane is a good plane.
But it's expensive.
If such an aircraft is put on the foreign trade market, it is an artifact.
It has a tactical effect, but it is not so advanced that it will not leak secrets. The cost is high.
A natural body for foreign trade.
The senior members of the Marine Corps wanted to say something more, but looking at Lin Xiao's unquestionable expression, they knew that the leader had made up his mind, so they stopped talking.
The next test flight of 500A became just a formality.
The mood of the entire project team is not high.
Qiao Yelin whispered beside Lin Xiao: "Chief, it seems that you are not satisfied with both projects."
"Both projects have their own advantages and can satisfy us a little bit. demand, but each has its own shortcomings."
"It would be nice if the two projects could be combined."
"Let's not draw a conclusion on this project yet. Let's see if these two units can come up with a follow-up plan."
As they spoke, the two of them came to Chen Chen's side.
"Xiao Chen, what conclusion do you have here?"
Chen Chen shook his head: "We didn't discuss the reasons, but there are more problems."
Lin Xiao was very He paid attention to Chen Chen's opinion and thought that since there was no one in private now, Chen Chen should be able to speak more than he wanted, so he listened attentively: "Really? Let's talk and listen."
"You said that if Optimus Prime gets hit, should he take medical insurance or compulsory traffic insurance?"
