The researchers of the Yinjiang R&D team didn't look too good. The situation they were most worried about had happened. The other team didn't understand the situation and started to randomly assign targets. This would disrupt their research progress.
Seeing this, Lu Zixin said, "Don't worry, we're not denying your results. It's just that we have a different understanding and implementation plan for this project. "
"General Lu, this is not just a different understanding, this is completely unreasonable!" Hou Xinghua argued and said, "As long as we improve the performance of our logistics drone and add an intelligent flight management system, we can successfully use it."
"But you said that you want to abandon the current rotary-wing drone. Then I want to know, what drone can we use?"
Lu Zixin smiled and said, "The rotary-wing drone is large and has serious noise pollution. It's inconvenient to fly in bad weather, so we want to make a jet drone."
"What? Jet drone? "After Lu Zixin said that, Hou Xinghua and the others were stunned at first, then they showed a contradictory expression.
It was an expression of wanting to laugh but was embarrassed to laugh. Hou Xinghua originally thought that Hongxin's team would have some brilliant ideas. Who knew that they wanted to make a jet logistics drone?
This idea was completely unrealistic! If it was so easy to make a jet logistics drone, why wouldn't they know how to make one?
The Yinjiang team was a little speechless. Hou Xinghua coughed and said, "General Lu, let's talk about the facts. There are some things that I have to say."
"Go ahead." Lu Zixin nodded.
He looked at Hongxin's R&D team and said, "If it's just a jet, then there's no problem."
"But what we want to make is a small logistics drone, not a large transport aircraft, so there's a limit to its size. A logistics drone with a specified size, if you want to install a jet, design a fuel cabin, and carry fossil fuel, all of these add up and exceed the size limit! "
"The second is the cost. The cost of the jet is too high. For us, we want to find a more convenient logistics method, not increase our transportation cost."
Lu Zixin said, "You can make it smaller, and the cost can be reduced."
Hou Xinghua helplessly smiled bitterly and said, "If we make it small, then the power of the jet device will definitely be insufficient. Moreover, the load capacity would also be reduced. A small drone would take up a lot of weight just to carry fossil fuels, not to mention transporting goods. Therefore, General Lu, I feel that your idea is a little … inappropriate. "
"There's no need to carry fossil dyes. Just use the electric jet." Hongxin's R&D team interjected. "A small electric jet only uses lithium-air batteries with high energy density. Power and load capacity are not a problem."
"What? Electric jet? " Hou Xinghua seemed to have heard a joke. "That's impossible. I've never heard of anyone who can make a small electric jet that can carry heavy loads. It's not even as good as our electric mechanical rotor drone."
The other members of the Yinjiang team also smiled. Hongxin's point of view was too childish. If it was as simple as they said, why did other logistics companies only research rotary-wing drones?
Amazon, Google, Deutsche Post, Israel's drone technology company, Shunfeng, Tao Bao … These companies were all making rotary-wing logistics drones because this was the technology that met the market's requirements the most.
"Hongxin's motto is to make the impossible possible." Lu Zixin smiled and said, "Actually, to be honest, we have already made the initial electric jet logistics drone. The specific performance is still being tested and improved."
"This time, we came here to let the R&D teams on both sides work together to improve it. We strive to complete the logistics drone supply chain as soon as possible and get the approval of the relevant departments to promote it nationwide."
"You've already made it?" Hou Xinghua opened his eyes wide and asked in an incredulous tone.
The other people also showed a surprised expression. Hongxin's team had not even started on this project, but they had already made it? And it was something so impractical. It sounded like an April Fool's joke.
"This … How do we make it …" The researcher who questioned stood up and said, "Can I see it?"
"Of course." Lu Zixin asked someone to bring the sample over and put it on the table.
When they saw a round "small flying saucer" in the box, everyone was shocked and said, "This is the jet drone you made?"
Their tone was full of doubt. The size of this drone was too small. Even if it really had an electric jet, they were more willing to believe that this was a model instead of a logistics drone that could carry heavy loads over long distances.
Hou Xinghua did not know what to say. This thing looked like something that was sold to children in the supermarket. It was already good enough that it could fly. Logistics? Wasn't that bullsh * t?
"Can it really fly without the rotors?" Someone questioned.
"Even if it can fly, this kind of drone can't carry heavy loads, right?"
"We can try. Its carrying capacity is about 20 kilograms. It can meet more than 95% of the normal package needs," Lu Zixin said.
"20 kilograms?" The Yinjiang team felt that Lu Zixin was bluffing. This little thing can carry 20 kilograms? How can its power be so strong?
The medium-sized four-rotor logistics drone they made was already very difficult to carry 10 kilograms. This flying saucer was so small, which meant that the jet inside was also a miniature one. The energy supply would also be difficult to meet.
"It's really 20 kilograms, not 2 kilograms?" Hou Xinghua confirmed again.
"It's 20 kilograms!" The researcher from Hongxin's team confirmed. "Now we can go outside and show it."
"Let's go and see. I don't believe that this little thing can carry 20 kilograms!" Hou Xinghua was not convinced. He did not believe that his team's research was so far behind Hongxin's!
They went to the yard and started to test the electric jet drone. Seeing that it could really fly, Hou Xinghua and the others were a little surprised. The power of this thing looked like it was really something.
However, 20 kilograms of weight was a little too exaggerated.
Just as they were preparing to test the 20 kilograms of sample packages, someone suddenly came to visit. It was the staff from Shun Feng Logistics' drone research base.
"What can I do for you?" someone asked.
The Shun Feng staff explained, "It's like this. We have some trouble and would like to ask for your help."
