They briefly explained that it turned out that a new medium-sized logistics drone developed by Shunfeng Logistics had malfunctioned during the test flight and landed in a mountain.
There was no road there. If someone were to find their way there, they did not know how troublesome it would be. So they came up with a way to directly use other drones to pull the drone back.
However, because of the complicated terrain, their large drones could not land, and the small drones did not have enough load capacity. Thinking of the size and load of the drone that Yin Jiang Logistics had flown before, they came over to ask.
Hou Xinghua asked, "Which model of drone is it? What's the terrain like? Can I see?"
"It's this V333 vertical take-off and landing fixed-wing drone." The Shunfeng staff took out a picture and showed it to them. It was an eight-rotor drone, 1.5 times larger than Yin Jiang's current four-rotor drone.
According to the image information sent back by the drone, it had now landed in a low-lying slope full of weeds. It was not suitable for large drones to fly at all.
"How heavy is it?" Hou Xinghua asked.
"About 14 kilograms," the Shunfeng staff said. "This place is not easy to operate. Let's see if you have any ideas. If not, we'll send someone to get it back."
No matter how powerful the drone was, there must be a suitable operating space.
A 14-kilogram thing required at least a medium-sized logistics drone to operate, and the Shunfeng's medium-sized drone was only a few meters long, so it was difficult to land.
Hearing that it was 14 kilograms, Hou Xinghua suddenly felt embarrassed. Their four-rotor drone could not carry that much weight, let alone perform such a complicated operation.
He said, "We don't have any good ideas about this. Why don't you find a local villager and ask them to help find it?"
"It seems that's the only way." The Shunfeng staff was also helpless.
"Does this mean that we can drag it back with a lasso?" Lu Zixin asked at this moment.
"Yes, but the terrain is narrow and complicated, so it's not easy to operate," the Shunfeng staff replied.
"That's good. We want to test this drone. What are the coordinates? Let it try. "Lu Zixin pointed to the electric jet drone he had brought.
"It?" The Shunfeng staff looked at the drone he was talking about in surprise. This thing was not even as big as their small drone, and it did not even have rotors. He had to say, "You're so humorous."
In his opinion, to carry something weighing 14 kilograms, it would require at least a medium-sized drone. The standard small UAV they were currently developing had a load weight of three kilograms. However, the thing Lu Zixin was talking about could only carry a load of one kilogram.
"I'm not kidding. You guys can start operating. Just treat this as our first actual flight test," Lu Zixin instructed Hongxin's team.
"Okay, let's start now." Hongxin's team immediately got ready.
Seeing that they were really getting ready to work, even Hou Xinghua was speechless, let alone the people from Shun Feng. They might as well find a fellow villager to help pick up the drone.
However, Hongxin's team had already started working. There was a light mechanical grappling hook at the bottom of the UFO, making it easy to grab items.
Under everyone's gaze, the small flying saucer began to move. It took off vertically and flew directly into the sky, heading towards the coordinates.
"Holy sh * t, this is actually a jet!" The people from Shun Feng were stunned. Such a small thing, and it was a jet drone. That was quite impressive!
Shun Feng had also studied jet devices before, but that was for large UAVs. Just the wings alone were 20 meters long. They had never thought of such a small one.
The small flying saucer was very fast. It arrived at the accident site in less than ten minutes. Through the drone's camera, they could clearly see that Shun Feng's faulty drone had landed in a low-lying area.
The people from Shun Feng said, "Yes, it's here. There are too many weeds and branches here. Our rotary-wing drone will definitely be entangled if it goes down. You don't have to worry about this problem with your flying saucer. It's just that our thing weighs 14 kilograms. It won't be able to carry it, right? "
"14 kilograms, it's more than enough!" The operator from Hongxin's team said confidently. As he spoke, he began to control the small flying saucer to descend towards the target. Then, he extended a seemingly small but tough mechanical grappling hook to grab Shun Feng's faulty drone.
"Let's go!" The operator said. The small flying saucer had already successfully lifted off with the faulty drone. From the looks of it, it was completely powered and did not look like it could not bear the weight at all!
"It actually lifted off the ground!" Other than the people from Hongxin, everyone else opened their eyes wide and looked at the image from the camera.
"It's flying!" Hou Xinghua couldn't help but shout. Only those who had studied it knew how incredible it was!
Their quadrotor drone was more than three times the size of this flying saucer, but its carrying capacity was not even half of that.
Furthermore, this flying saucer did not have its rotors. It was completely powered by an electric jet. It was too advanced! They really didn't know how the motors were designed and how the energy conversion was carried out …
Everyone from Yinjiang's team looked at this scene with their mouths agape. The flying saucer had already grabbed the faulty drone and returned.
This meant that the goal that Lu Zixin mentioned was not impossible at all, but they had already accomplished it! It was like they were still studying the multiplication table, but the other party had already started to study functions.
In comparison, their quadrotor drone was simply trash. They could not bring it out at all!
Was Hongxin really that awesome? The researchers from Yinjiang's R&D team all had a bitter feeling in their hearts. The gap was too big!
The staff from Shun Feng was also stunned. When he came here, he just wanted to give it a try. Who knew that not only did the other party agree to help, but they also did it!
The most important thing was that they were using a jet model that he had never heard of before. Its carrying capacity and flying ability were even better than their medium eight-rotor drone!
In terms of logistics drones, Shun Feng had always been the leading company in the country. They were even the first company to obtain flight operation rights. In this regard, they were quite proud. However, when he saw this flying saucer today, he realized that there was actually such a magical thing!
If this flying saucer was a few times bigger, wouldn't its carrying capacity be even greater? He felt a kind of surprise and horror. In this inconspicuous little research base, there was actually technology that was more advanced than theirs!
After the operator gave the order to return, the flying saucer quickly returned with the faulty drone. When it landed on the square of the research base, everyone looked at it with burning eyes!
They really wanted to know what secrets were hidden in this thing. They couldn't wait to open it up and study it.
