I just want to deliver express, but you insist on recruiting me?

Chapter 149 What a coincidence

"You're airdropping at an altitude of 10,000 meters, so the error won't be that big, right?"

Zhang Mingrui looked at the plane that was gradually descending in altitude, his face full of disbelief, and he turned into a nitpicker on the spot.

He understands the subject of airdrop.

It is divided into three types: low altitude, medium altitude and high altitude.

Among them, the high-altitude drop altitude is the highest, but it is only 7000 meters.

Because the higher the altitude, the greater the obstacles of objective conditions. Atmospheric pressure, terrain, and wind speed will all affect the accuracy of delivery.

In the first half of the year, some troops carried out airdrops at an altitude of 6000 meters in the plateau area, with the error controlled within 50 meters, surpassing the international advanced level in one fell swoop.

The difficulty of airdropping at an altitude of 10,000 meters can be imagined.

Only offensive weapons such as aerial bombs are dropped from altitudes above 10,000 meters.

The reason.

Aerial bombs are weapons, so there is no need to worry about the integrity of the bomb when it is thrown.

But what Chen Chen delivered were supplies after all.

"I can't take someone like you. If I drop it at 10,000 meters, your cargo hold will drift into the Pacific Ocean, right?"

"It's a different era now, who still does traditional airdrops?"

Chen Chen spoke calmly, ready to let Zhang Mingrui see the world.

In fact, as a high-speed transport platform, the B22 does not need to have an airdrop system.

After all, when the plane reaches this speed, airport loading and unloading is the mainstream scene.

However, the smart cargo compartment developed under the leadership of Cao Zihua has been upgraded to the third generation and is infinitely adaptable to the B22.

"It is Mr. Wei's long-cherished wish to drop the express on the customer's head. As the second party, of course we have to meet the demands of the first party."

"whee."

Wei Xiao suddenly felt warm in her heart when she heard this.

In fact.

As the cooperation progressed to this point, Wei Xiao rarely made specific requests.

She rarely mentioned the previous two times when she cried out "the express was thrown on the customer's head".

But not mentioning it doesn't mean she doesn't want it.

As a mature third-party, Chen Chen can automatically identify customers' pain points and put them into practice.

Zhang Mingrui looked at the two of them and suddenly felt something was wrong.

Although they were talking about the project, he could vaguely smell the taste of dog food.

It sounds like he's doting on her.

The smart cargo bay was initially just a part of the Scorpion project.

After the project was submitted, Chen Chen took out the technical sheet and asked Cao Zihua to be responsible for upgrading it as the company's key technical care.

Today, the smart cargo compartment has been upgraded to version 3.2.

Chen Chen introduced: "The original smart cargo hold had a pain point. The coverage range was too narrow. Once the cargo hold was too far away from the host, it could not navigate. Therefore, after each delivery, the host could not accelerate away."

Zhang Mingrui understood it very well: "I know, so you added self-guided missiles to SFNB01, turning the cargo hold into a small plane."

Version 1.0 relies on aerodynamics to fly, has a little bit of its own power, and does not come with autonomous navigation.

Version 2.0 has autonomous navigation and upgraded power, which is roughly equivalent to a cruise missile.

Zhang Mingrui feels that the cargo hold has been almost perfect after being upgraded to this point.

At least that's how he understood it.

But Chen Chen shook his head: "It's still not enough. 1.0 and 2.0 are a bit fancy. They just want to innovate the cargo hold itself, which is a bit out of touch with reality."

"Installing navigation equipment in the cargo hold takes up space and costs money, but in reality the effect is only slightly enhanced."

“Sometimes the cargo thrown down is not as valuable as the cargo hold.”

Zhang Mingrui was slightly stunned and once again felt the difference in thinking patterns.

From his point of view, accuracy is the first priority.

Because he is wearing a military uniform, he always gives priority to effective killing and then cost.

In fact, it’s not just Zhang Mingrui.

This is true throughout the entire system.

An ordinary long-range artillery shell fires out, weighing 700,000 to 800,000 each time.

A salvo of fire is equivalent to countless luxury cars flying in the sky.

With this mindset, Zhang Mingrui felt that a cargo hold of 2.0 would be enough to meet all tactical needs.

But Chen Chen is different.

"For version 3.0, we simplified it. In addition to improving the power of the cargo hold, we also removed the self-guided equipment on the cargo hold itself."

"So how do you direct?"

Without waiting for Chen Chen's reply, Yuwo reported the bait status again and confirmed that the bait could be put into the cargo hold.

So Chen Chen picked up the intercom and said, "The star plane will be deployed first, and the cargo hold will be on standby."

Chen Chen's instructions were converted into digital signals by the ground control console at the fastest speed and mapped on the B22.

After confirming the launch of the star machine, he turned around again.

"We have handed over the navigation of version 3.0 to Star Machine."

"What is a Star Machine?"

"Did you see the tail of the B22?"

Zhang Mingrui suddenly remembered something: "Yes, now that you mention this, I want to discuss with you, with the B22's layout, are two twin tails redundant?"

Zhang Mingrui had this feeling when he first saw the concept drawing of B22.

The aircraft has an overall flat layout, similar to a waverider.

For aircraft of this shape, in most cases, the choice is to minimize the presence of the vertical tail, and some even don't use it at all.

The B22 is different, its double vertical tails are extremely eye-catching.

At that time, Zhang Mingrui thought it was just a boastful plan and there was no need to pay attention to the details.

But now that the plane has taken off, the vertical tail seems a bit superfluous.

Chen Chen smiled slightly and explained, "It's a little bit redundant, but fortunately our radar absorption technology has reached a certain level, so the existence of the vertical tail has little impact on the stealth layout."

"Besides, this thing can be dismantled."

"The vertical tails you see are actually two small drones called Star Machines."

The words fell.

Cao Zihua handed over the design drawings from the side.

The moment Zhang Mingrui took the drawing, he felt a sound effect appear in his head.

Piu!

reasonable.

Everything makes sense.

The two vertical tails can be detached separately. After detachment, the aircraft will be in the shape of two nearly five-pointed stars.

"So that's why you named it Star Machine?"

Chen Chen nodded: "These two aircraft are fully functional and have the ability to fly autonomously. They also take over the navigation function of the smart cargo hold."

"Today's cargo hold version 3.2 is just a missile with a slight power."

"After the initial drop, the cargo hold can fly about 500 kilometers with the speed given by the aircraft and its own power."

Zhang Mingrui was so impressed after hearing this: "This distance is beyond the navigation range of the aircraft itself, so you are going to use the star machine for navigation in the future?"

"That's right. In this case, the B22 doesn't need to slow down, drop in altitude, or send out a large number of signals to destroy the aircraft's concealment."

"Tsk tsk..."

Zhang Mingrui held the blueprint in his hand and was a little bit in awe of Chen Chen.

This guy really has no problems except that he is a bit stubborn.

This is like a high-speed train that enters the station without slowing down or stopping, and completes the boarding and disembarking of passengers.

the most important is.

Pick any point on the flight route of the B22 host and draw a 500-kilometer circle, which is its coverage range.

"This design can save costs to the greatest extent. As you know, our private enterprises have always been..."

"Don't mention your private enterprise." Zhang Mingrui is almost immune to this word. "They use A-shooter and B-guide, and you still say it's a civilian enterprise."

Wei Xiao suddenly acted as if she didn't understand: "A shoots and B guides? What does that mean? Who is B?"

Zhang Mingrui looked at Wei Xiao with some disbelief: "A shoots and B guides is a relatively advanced tactical concept."

"It was mold that first proposed it."

"Under the traditional A-shooting and A-guiding model."

"The munitions have to be guided by the carrier aircraft for a long time after they are launched."

"This will limit the maneuverability of the carrier aircraft."

"Once an overload maneuver is performed, the warhead is likely to break away from guidance."

"So the safety of the carrier aircraft cannot be guaranteed."

"But after the emergence of A-shooting and B-guiding, this problem has been largely solved."

"A machine launches, guided by the cheaper B machine. It is essentially a manifestation of coordinated combat capability, and has a very high link-up effect on the entire system..."

That’s what I meant to say.

Zhang Mingrui suddenly swallowed it back.

His eyes were filled with suspicion.

"No, you don't know how to A-shoot and B-guide your own plane?"

Wei Xiao's eyes were innocent: "I don't understand."

"Don't give me that. We've already made the Star Machine, and you still say you don't understand?"

Zhang Mingrui finally understood.

Wei Xiao definitely did it on purpose.

The two B22 starfighters have taken the concept of A-shoot and B-guide to the extreme.

And you said you don’t know martial arts?

"Mr. Wei, something's wrong with you today. What's your conspiracy?" Zhang Mingrui became alert.

"What conspiracy is there? You just said A shoots B guides practical?"

"That's right..."

Zhang Mingrui had to admit that this thing was too powerful.

Take delivery, for example.

Fly from city A to city B.

The route between points A and B covers an area within a radius of 500 kilometers.

The course is not just a line, but a corridor.

Zhang Mingrui thought about it and was terrified: "If this plane is equipped with ammunition, it doesn't need to be very advanced, just explosives will do. At an altitude of 10,000 meters, it can maintain high concealment while having a strike range of 500 kilometers. It's simply amazing."

Wei Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up: "Really? Oh, what a coincidence!"

"???"

Chen Chen almost couldn't help laughing when he saw Wei Xiao's clumsy performance.

The abacus beads were about to hit Zhang Mingrui's face.

You might as well just take the paint bucket and paint the number and military emblem on yourself.

Zhang Mingrui was still immersed in the shock of A shooting and B directing.

In this case, it seems reasonable that they only descended to an altitude of 10,000 meters.

Even in most cases, the B22 can perform strikes beyond visual range.

Take this moment for example.

The main equipment of the monkey on the ground is standard 6.

The range radius is only 400 kilometers.

The B22 has a range of 500 kilometers just with its autonomous cargo hold.

They use their heads to defend?
No wonder Chen Chen danced on the monkey's head unscrupulously. With such skills, there would be no problem for him to dance on the monkey's head.

Thinking of this, Zhang Mingrui suddenly woke up.

wrong……

It's obviously delivery equipment.

How do you talk about range all the time?
He looked at Chen Chen with a suspicious look: "Boss Chen, now the star plane has been deployed, and the cargo hold has also been deployed, do you still have any tricks?"

"Nothing."

"So where is your placement point?"

Chen Chen pointed to the map: "Huangdao in area 380."

"That's more like it. I'm just afraid that you might get carried away and choose a location outside our control."

Zhang Mingrui breathed a sigh of relief.

The location of Huangdao is somewhat controversial, but it is still under our control.

The distance did not reach the maximum range of the cargo hold.

It should land smoothly.

Compared to the previous subjects.

The operation of investing in this subject is still relatively conservative.

Wei Xiao also nodded: "If the delivery is accurate, it will definitely be within the control range, don't you think so, Mr. Chen?"

Chen Chen didn't comment, just nodded.
