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

Chapter 163 You Get What You Pay For
"Commander, we are ready."

"let's start."

Luan Wenyuan, the leader of Aviation Industry Group, came to Lin Xiao for instructions with a nervous mood.

At this moment he no longer had the same ambition as before.

The project just presented by the 11th Institute cannot be said to be perfect, but it is also a comprehensive drone with excellent performance.

Chief Lin was questioning throughout the process and rarely gave any approving comments.

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 is codenamed 500A, and it is a small coaxial twin-rotor tailless helicopter."

"Same design as the Wuzhi?"

Lin Xiao looked closely at the plane, which was only the size of a motorcycle, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

Its rotor is located at the top and is divided into two layers.

After being used to seeing multi-rotor drones, seeing a helicopter-shaped aircraft is indeed a bit brighter.

Luan Wenyuan explained cautiously: "There is still some debate about the rotor layout of armed helicopters."

"Some people think that twin-rotor layout is better, some people think that traditional layout is better. It depends on one's own opinion."

"But after our analysis and demonstration, we feel that twin rotors are currently the best solution for the navy."

You can hear it.

Luan Wenyuan is also a good product manager.

From the very beginning, we have been considering the needs of Party A and always keep the word "navy" in mind.

The attitude has been shown.

But Lin Xiao was not someone who would easily give up. He did not let him pass it by, but asked him to the bottom of it: "What's good about it?"

Luan Wenyuan: "First, the two rotors of a coaxial twin-rotor helicopter installed on a concentric axis will rotate in opposite directions to produce torque cancellation, so there is no need for a tail rotor for balance."

“This saves a lot of space.”

"Most of the navy's equipment needs to be on board ships, so space is particularly important."

"In addition, its flight path control is achieved by changing the power of the upper and lower rotors. Since there is no power loss of the tail rotor, the hovering efficiency is 17%-30% higher than that of a single rotor."

"Also, because the fuselage of the coaxial twin-rotor can be made very short, its structural weight and load are concentrated at the center of gravity, thereby reducing the helicopter's pitch and yaw moment of inertia and having higher acceleration characteristics..."

Luan Wenyuan couldn't stop himself and started to write his argumentation report rigorously and carefully. The more he went into it, the more difficult the vocabulary became to understand.

Lin Xiao frowned as he listened, thinking that it would not be a good idea for you to write your paper here.

"So it's still the helicopter base? 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, and he answered with ease.

“Because helicopters can’t do this size.”

"The 500A is only one-eighth the size of a traditional helicopter and one-third shorter than a traditional unmanned helicopter."

"But with this size, it can still carry a 500kg payload and 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, the aircraft can take off and land autonomously in force 6 gale weather."

Lin Xiao listened with great interest.

From time to time, I looked back and observed the expressions of the leaders behind me.

He could obviously see it.

This time, the Marines' eyes lit up.

True.

Starting from the needs of this theater of war.

Unmanned helicopters appear to be an effective solution to tactical needs.

It can do what Chen Chen and Qi Mang said, filling the gap in the connection between high and low altitude, high and low speed.

There are large fixed-wing drones above and small reconnaissance and strike drones below.

500A has indeed found a position that suits it.

The size of the entire aircraft is small.

It seems pretty intuitive too.

Especially the exposed mounting points under the plane, Lin Xiao saw them clearly.

"What about the tactical function? I see there are quite a few missile mounting points under your aircraft."

Luan Wenyuan squatted down and pointed at the structure at the bottom of the aircraft: "This aircraft can carry 8 Blue Arrow 9 air-to-ground missiles or 4 Blue Arrow 5A air-to-ground missiles at a time, as well as similar rockets, guided bombs and other ammunition."

"In that case, it is mainly anti-tank." 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 undertake tasks such as fire reconnaissance, artillery positioning, target illumination, and communication."

"Then isn't your plane 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 described as an all-rounder.

Therefore, just by describing it, the optimal tactical use of this aircraft can be blurted out.

Everyone can hear it.

Chief Lin is trying to find faults in every possible way.

But Luan Wenyuan seems to be well prepared: "In theory, this kind of equipment is very suitable for land combat units such as synthetic brigades."

"But we have studied the needs of the Yangcheng theater."

"Take beach landings and point capture operations in complex urban environments as examples."

"Due to its small size, the 500A can be deployed in large numbers on ships and used together with the Marine Corps to complete landing missions."

"At the same time, it has a payload advantage that small drones cannot match."

"Equipping a battalion with a helicopter is equivalent to having an air superiority."

Speaking of which.

Lin Xiao only felt the group of Marines chattering behind him.

This is like taking your kids to the mall during Chinese New Year.

The boy walked to the door of the toy store and couldn't keep calm at all.

It seems that we can no longer rely on them for advice.

So he looked at Chen Chen.

This guy was whispering with Qi Mang again, probably chatting privately. Lin Xiao didn't want to let him go, so he shouted, "Boss Chen is having another small meeting? What are you talking about so excitedly? Let's listen together."

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Chen Chen and Qi Mang.

Everyone was looking forward to hearing what Chen Chen had to say.

Only Luan Wenyuan felt nervous.

It's like taking an exam.

Chen Chen was still pretending to be polite: "Ah? Not good, right? Some things can't be said openly."

"Don't worry." Lin Xiao gave him a reassurance. "The level of your Chendun is obvious to all. I asked you to come here to be a referee. Don't be afraid of offending others."

"Then I'll tell you."

"Say!"

Chen Chen helplessly spread his hands: "Qi Mang just asked me if Optimus Prime would look for an online taxi if he was lonely?"

"???"

"Be serious, kid."

"You insist on listening. I've already said it's not appropriate to talk about it publicly."

"..."

Lin Xiao was stunned at that time.

The crowd also laughed a lot.

However, this little episode did ease the suffocatingly tense atmosphere on the scene.

Lin Xiao also smiled helplessly and said, "You haven't said a single word every day. To put it nicely, you are men who will stay young until death. To put it bluntly, you are really idle. Don't talk nonsense. What do you think of this plane? I want a definite answer."

"Very good, very good." Chen Chen blurted out without even thinking.

"Think carefully, I want to hear the truth."

Chen Chen was very sure: "What you said is the truth. The coaxial design has achieved the ultimate in energy consumption and size. The download weight is also online for the small size. The teachers are experts in weapons. I am not qualified to comment. If you really want me to score, I will give it 82 points. I will give the remaining 18 points in the form of 666."

next second.

Luan Wenyuan's body relaxed visibly, and an expression of having survived a disaster appeared on his face.

Chief Lin asked Chen Chen to be the referee, and no one had any objection.

Where does his level stand?

Luan Wenyuan's own attitude is also very positive. If others find fault with him, it means there is room for improvement.

If others recognize it, it is a great compliment.

Technology is not about age or experience.

Renchendun has many mature products, so it naturally has the right to judge itself.

"Mr. Chen, you're too kind." Luan Wenyuan quickly raised his hand to express his gratitude.

Chen Chen also returned the greeting: "Teacher, you are welcome. By the way, how much does your machine cost?"

"200w."

"Oh, that's really amazing, you get what you pay for."

Saw this scene.

Lin Xiao's eyes suddenly became deep.

Chen Chen seemed to have said nothing, but in fact he had said everything.

The plane is a good one, but at this price, it's just average.

Similar body design and tactical role.

One hundred thousand yuan, that is a magical weapon for attacking tough situations.

Five hundred thousand is almost enough for practical equipment.

One million, quite remarkable.

Two million, “…”

After asking about the price, Chen Chen consciously took two steps back and continued to discuss the issue of online ride-hailing with Qi Mang.

Lin Xiao did not continue to embarrass him, and turned to look at Luan Wenyuan: "The plane is good. You talked about so many characteristics of drones before, and I agree with them."

"But Mr. Luan, you forgot one final important feature."

"The biggest feature of drones is that they are unmanned. Unmanned means I don't have to be a pilot and I don't have to be responsible for the pilot."

"So when used in a battlefield environment, a large number of drones do not consider returning."

"This thing of yours is only worth 200 million, and it can't form a strategic strike like the double-tailed scorpion. I feel bad that it doesn't come back after I threw it out."

Luan Wenyuan was silent for a long time: "The commander's intention is to form a clustered combat capability, but for aircraft of the same type to be clustered, we need to achieve the ultimate industrial assembly line. We can reduce the cost, but the premise is that the demand must be infinite."

"I understand. So I think this aircraft is more suitable for export. 200 million yuan is a bit expensive for us, but for the rich, it's just a drop in the bucket."

Lin Xiao’s opinion was very clear.

The plane is a good plane.

But it’s expensive.

Such an aircraft would be a magical weapon if it were put on the foreign trade market.

It has tactical effects, but is not so advanced that it will leak secrets. It is also expensive.

Born to be a foreign trade saint.

The old Marines wanted to say something, but seeing Lin Xiao's unquestionable expression, they knew that their leader had made up his mind, so they stopped talking.

The subsequent test flight of 500A became a formality.

The entire project team was in a low mood.

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 meet some of our needs, but they also have their own disadvantages."

"Yes, it would be nice if the two projects could be combined."

"Let's not make a final decision on this project yet. Let's see if these two companies can come up with a follow-up plan."

As they were talking, they came to Chen Chen.

"Xiao Chen, what is your conclusion?"

Chen Chen shook his head: "We didn't come to a conclusion from this discussion, but instead there are more questions."

Lin Xiao attached great importance to Chen Chen's opinion. He thought that since there was no one around, Chen Chen should be able to speak freely, so he listened attentively: "Really? Tell me about it."

"If Optimus Prime gets into an accident, should he go through medical insurance or compulsory traffic insurance?"
