Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 350 Two Glider Tracks
Emerald City has two helipads, one corresponding to the two Dead Sea Channels.

On Platform No. 1, the armed gliders were surrounded by people.

Technical personnel in Shagang and Shuanghe are discussing this issue intensely.

Zhou Yi asked the man next to him, "You don't want to modify the single-person glider, because it's difficult for a single person to fly and fight?"

"It's hard."

The young puppet looked at the armed glider. "Most light-printed artillery cannot be self-aiming. It takes an expert to calibrate the enemy's position with the naked eye. Whether it is a high-speed cannon or a main gun with high lethality, a special auxiliary aiming device is required."

“Air combat is not a solitary struggle.”

"The pilot is responsible for flight control. The scout is always on the lookout. If he encounters an enemy, he is needed to lock the position and give the gunner the coordinates."

"The gunner must load and fire the gun, and make correct combat decisions during the firing cooldown period."

"So in air combat, if humans are used as combat units, a glider must be equipped with three collaborators who each have their own responsibilities, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve a good effect."

After listening to this, Zhou Yi said, "Mie Ding Gong's understanding of aerial combat is indeed very deep, unlike those of us who have only just started."

“This is a lesson learned at the cost of many lives.”

The puppet's painted eyeballs turned and looked at a large glider that was slowly approaching in the sky: "I heard before that Lord Shahai was making a luxury glider. It looks like this is it. Let's go take a look?"

Zhou Yi followed its line of sight.

The glider landed on another field nearby. It was about twelve or thirteen meters long, with four wide wings, and looked like an oversized dragonfly.

The two words "Shagang" were painted in red on the left and right sides of the fuselage in the common language of the East and West Continents to represent its identity.

The number [002] at the back represents the aircraft number.

Sha Haigong came out of the luxurious glider with a beaming smile on his face.

When it saw Zhou Yi and the other man, it took the initiative to invite them: "Mr. Zhou, Mr. Mieding, would you like to take a look at my business jet?"

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "That's why I came here."

"Please, both of you."

When Zhou Yi entered the glider from the wooden ladder, his first impression was its exquisiteness.

There are polished wooden floors and exquisitely carved diamond-shaped lamps inside. The cabin inside the door looks like a living room, with seats, coffee tables, tables, soft leather sofas, and even flowers.

It's not cold inside at all.

"A custom-made Goblet of Fire was installed to keep the place in a conservatory condition."

Lord Sha Hai waved his claws and introduced: "It will be cooled in the summer, so it is very suitable for entertaining guests and discussing business here."

Zhou Yi looked around and said, "It seems that when I gave you the Goblet of Fire to make, you did a lot of tricks with it."

“How can we not do something new in Sand Harbor?”

The seal-shaped Sand Sea Lord grinned and said, "But I can't do anything big here, and I don't have any specialized talents. The company is doing big innovations. We can only make some small improvements. We can't fall behind the company's pace."

Miedinggong had already walked into another cabin, seemingly looking at something.

Zhou Yi went over and found that there were two single beds side by side.

“Why is it designed like this?”

Miedinggong was puzzled, "Two people sleeping in such close proximity without any protection? It's very strange."

Zhou Yi tried hard to hold back his laughter.

I didn't expect that the decisive and ruthless Prince Mieding seemed to know nothing about enjoyment.

He immediately said, "This looks like a place for massage and foot bathing. However, the corresponding supporting facilities have been put away, and there is a smell of medicine and flowers in the room."

"Mr. Zhou knows his stuff."

Lord Sand Sea gave a thumbs up and said, "I just discussed cooperation with Lord Liuli of Glass Castle. I flew around their Glass Castle and hired two rehabilitation therapists."

"Two doctors."

It clapped its hands, and two girls of about fifteen or sixteen walked out from the inner room. They had delicate features and a faint white light emanated from their bodies.

"Enhancer?" Zhou Yi was surprised.

"It's a shapeshifter."

Miedinggong glanced at Zhou Yi and said, "Mr. Zhou, you still need to improve your understanding of the Guangna species."

He was obviously dissatisfied with the laughter he couldn't hold back.

Zhou Yi didn't understand either, so he asked, "Please give me some advice."

"Shapeshifters are a type of light-skinned creature. They have no gender, and their ability is to change form. They can take on various appearances as needed. They are concubines and lovers favored by many bigwigs, because in order to change themselves, one thing they need is insight into people's hearts. They know how to cater to the preferences of the target and what to do to make the other person happy."

Lord Mieding looked at the two young girls who looked like Light Na. “Lord Shahai has invested a lot of money to find these two shapeshifters and train them to become rehabilitation therapists.”

Lord Sha Hai just smiled and said, "If you don't have enough hard power, then you can only make up for it with soft power."

Zhou Yi is very interested in the two girl shapeshifters.

"What are your names?"

"Mr. Zhou, my name is Xin Mu."

"My name is Xin Yuan."

Zhou Yi couldn't help but think: "The End of the Road? Did you guys pick the name yourself?"

The two shapeshifters showed surprised expressions.

Xin Mu said: "You have a deep understanding of the Dead Sea Scrolls. Our names were given by the person who adopted us. He wanted to train us to assassinate a sea lord. When we were still very young, the sea lord was killed because of an internal rebellion."

"The Avenger who adopted us was already seriously ill. He gave us this name before he died. He said it was such a pity that both he and his enemy were going to die, but not in the form of revenge. In the end, he hoped that we would become doctors. Saving lives is more valuable than killing people."

"Then we were spotted by Lord Shahai, and then we came to Shagang."

Zhou Yi hummed.

To be on the safe side, he also used Red Falcon's mind reading to check.

Lord Sha Hai said, "Mr. Zhou, I am currently developing a series of [Shagang] luxury gliders, which are specially designed to entertain various sea lords, mayors, and representatives of various organizations."

"After this packaging, the price of a luxury aircraft can reach 50-100 light seeds. The territorial sea owners and big businessmen from all over the country are very interested."

"Everyone has official duties and business to discuss, and having a mobile residence like this is much more convenient. The quality of life is significantly improved, and the cost is much cheaper than renting a flight department mechanical and electrical life."

It kept talking: "I have received 24 orders so far, and all parties want to buy the top-of-the-line 100-light model. The order is still increasing, and I have to take a luxury plane to visit more areas. This is natural publicity."

"There are also later-stage supporting facilities, upgrades and maintenance, which also cost money. It is not a small amount, and there is money coming in every year."

"I allow Shagang merchants to invest in this project, and they will all share in the dividends. In order to increase sales, they will also use all their connections to promote and publicize. Merchants are very useful in this regard. As long as they see that there is money to be made, they will mobilize all their resources to do it."

Lord Shahai was all smiles.

Zhou Yi nodded after hearing this.

This is just like the old human rich people like luxury yachts and private jets. The utilization rate is not important, the cost performance is not important, the important thing is that they can't be without - let me see who doesn't have it?
Just like the classic line in the movie.

You drive a Mazda, so you are stuck in traffic, you are not qualified to attend this meeting!

After the visit, Lord Mieding also gave Mie-style praise: "Lord Shahai's strength is mediocre, but he has been able to stay here for many years. There is indeed a reason."

After the gliders were rolled out, two tracks have now been developed.

The first is the armed aircraft developed by Miedinggong. Shuanghe region has strong infrastructure and production capabilities, and rich experience in air combat, and this path is a perfect match for them.

Zhou Yi predicts that this military direction will have great prospects in the future.

In terms of cost, gliders are much cheaper than the traditional air force's light and electromechanical life, and they also have the potential for sustainable evolution and transformation.

The second is the luxury model of Shahaigongnong, which focuses on business activities and high-end needs.

This aspect is actually Zhou Yi's real blind spot, but Sha Hai Gong has already got on the right track and is doing very well.

But the value of the glider goes far beyond that.

There is still some distance before it can be popularized to the civilian level.

From Zhou Yi's personal experience, it was only when computers and mobile phones were used by the majority of people that they underwent a real qualitative change and then became inseparable from everyone's life.

……

The next few days.

There were many debates and disagreements between the company and Shuanghe regarding the armed glider modification.

One of the most core issues is.

What is the most critical feature of an armed glider?
Does it exist as a flying turret, or does it exert air superiority mainly through speed and maneuverability?

The former is supported by the Two Rivers region, and the latter by the company employees.

In fact, the essence of the problem is whether the glider is more important or the weapon is more important, and which one is the main one and which one is the auxiliary one.

This is related to which standard is the main one, the flying silk system of the glider itself, or the light-printing technique behind the light-printing weapon.

Zhou Yi and Mieding Gong also participated in the discussion.

Even though there were two people in charge, the technicians, after initially restraining themselves, soon started arguing with red faces and ears, unable to convince each other.

In the end, it was Miedinggong who made the final decision.

“Speed and control come first.”

"No matter how good the light-printed artillery is, if it can't be fast enough, it will be a sitting duck."

"We must first ensure that we have enough speed to catch up with the target and effectively pursue, investigate or even attack it. If we don't have speed, we will just be eaten by insects in the air."

It looked at everyone and said, "I know that your existing experience is all based on the Yin Guang technique."

"Yin Guang Shu is the foundation and core of the aerial technology in the past. If it is used as an auxiliary, many basic thinking and concepts will have to be overturned and rebuilt. This is very difficult."

"But don't be afraid."

“The Twin Rivers region has come to where it is today through repeated difficulties and changes.”

"Let's change our thinking."

"No matter how hard we try to catch up with the Yin Guang system, we can never reach the level of the Mechanical and Electrical City. But we are ahead of the glider's flying silk system and floating heart. Why not choose a route that is more advantageous to us, has a higher ceiling, and has a greater chance of breaking through the blockade?"

"This is how the Twin Rivers region has always differentiated itself. While other regions develop the army, we focus on developing and training air forces, so we can stand out."

“The combination of the glider and the floating heart is the most important.”

"Light-printed weapons need to serve the glider. If they are not suitable, it is better not to install them and replace them with other usable weapons!"

During this discussion meeting, Zhou Yi also gained a deeper understanding of Mieding Gong.

Although this puppet governor does not manage specific matters, he has a unique vision in grand strategy, dares to break the rules, and is ruthless and quick in making decisions.

The addition of the Two Rivers region not only provides the Development Alliance with a northern barrier, but also provides significant reinforcements in many areas including military, labor, and basic production.

When Zhou Yi was bidding farewell to Mr. Mieding, a red falcon suddenly flew over and spoke in the same frequency of his consciousness.

"Zhou, the electric cat appeared."

Zhou Yi was delighted.

"Walk."

However, when he saw the puppet boarding the plane, an idea occurred to him: With Mr. Mieding's knowledge and thinking, maybe he could provide some references from different perspectives?
"Mr. Mieding, do you want to take a look at the latest research of our company?"

The puppet's head turned 180 degrees and said, "If you have no objection, I am naturally very interested."

"Let's go then."

Zhou Yi waved his hand.
