The researchers in the Yinjiang R&D team didn't look very good. The situation they were most worried about had appeared. When the other team comes over and starts to randomly assign targets before they understand the situation, this will disrupt their research progress.
Seeing this, Lu Zixin said: "Don't worry, everyone, we are not trying to deny your results. It's just that we have different understandings and implementation plans for this project."
"Mr. Lu, this is no longer a different understanding, it is completely unreasonable!" Hou Xinghua argued, saying: "As long as we improve the performance of our logistics drones and add an intelligent flight management system, can be used successfully.”
"But you said you want to abandon the current rotary-wing drones, so I want to know, what kind of drones can we use?"
Lu Zixin smiled slightly and said: "The rotary-wing type is large in size, produces serious noise pollution, and is not convenient for flying in bad weather conditions, so we want to make a jet-type drone."
"What? Jet drone?" After Lu Zixin said this, Hou Xinghua and others were stunned for a moment, then randomly showed a conflicting expression.
It was an expression that wanted to laugh but was embarrassed to laugh. Hou Xinghua originally thought that Hongxin's team would have some brilliant insights, but who knew that they actually wanted to make a jet-type logistics drone.
This idea is completely unrealistic! It’s too natural to take it for granted. If jet logistics drones are so easy to make, don’t they know how to make them
The Yinjiang team was speechless. Hou Xinghua coughed twice and said, "Mr. Lu, let's discuss the matter. There are some things I have to say."
"Say." Lu Zixin nodded.
He looked at Hongxin's R&D team, increased the decibel level, and said, "If it's just a pure jet, there's nothing wrong with it."
"But what we want to do is a small logistics drone, not a large transport aircraft, which is limited in size. If a logistics drone with a specified size needs to be equipped with jet equipment, it must also design a fuel tank to carry fossil fuels. These Added up, the volume has exceeded the limit!”
"The second is cost. The cost of building a jet is too high. For us, we want to find a more convenient logistics method instead of increasing our own transportation costs."
Lu Zixin said: "It can be made smaller, and the cost can also be reduced."
Hou Xinghua smiled helplessly and said: "If it is made small, the power of the jet device will definitely be insufficient. Moreover, the load capacity will also be reduced. Small drones take up a lot of load just to carry fossil fuels, let alone transport cargo. So, Mr. Lu, I think your idea is a bit... inappropriate."
"There is no need to carry fossil dyes, just use an electric jet device." Someone from the Hongxin R&D team interjected, "A small electric jet device only needs to carry a high-energy-density lithium-air battery. Power and load capacity are not a problem."
"What? Electric jet device?" Hou Xinghua seemed to have heard a joke, "This is impossible. I have never heard of anyone who can make a small electric jet device that can carry heavy loads. It is not as good as our electric mechanical rotor. Drones.”
Other members of the Yinjiang team also smiled. The views expressed by the Hongxin team were too naive. If it is as simple as they say, why do other logistics companies only research rotary-wing drones
Amazon, Google, Deutsche Post, Israel Drone Technology Company, Shunfeng, Taobao... These companies are all making rotary-wing logistics drones because this is the technology that currently best meets market requirements.
"Our mission at Hongxin is to make the impossible possible," Lu Zixin said with a smile, "To be honest with you, we have already made a preliminary electric jet logistics drone, and the specific performance is still being debugged and improved."
"This time I come here to let the R&D teams from both sides improve it together, and strive to complete a complete logistics drone supply chain as soon as possible, and obtain recognition from relevant departments and promote it nationwide."
"Have you already made it?" Hou Xinghua opened his eyes wide and asked in an incredible tone.
Others also showed surprised expressions. Hongxin's team has already completed the project before they even started to join it? And it’s still so unrealistic that it sounds like an April Fool’s joke.
"How... is this done..." The researcher who just questioned stood up and said, "Can I take a look?"
"Of course." Lu Zixin asked someone to bring the samples he brought and put them on the table.
Seeing a round "small flying saucer" exposed in the box, everyone was surprised and said: "Is this the jet drone you made?"
Their tone was full of doubts. The size of this drone was too small. Even if it did have an electric jet device, they would rather believe that it was a model toy rather than a logistics drone that could carry heavy loads over long distances. machine.
Hou Xinghua didn't know what to say. This thing looked like something sold to children in a supermarket. It’s great that it can fly on its own, but it also provides logistics and transportation. Isn’t that nonsense
"Without rotors, can it really fly?" someone questioned.
"Even if it can fly, this kind of drone can't carry weight, right?"
"We can try it. Its load-bearing capacity is about 20 kilograms, which can meet more than 95% of ordinary parcel delivery." Lu Zixin said.
"Twenty kilograms?" Everyone in the Yinjiang team felt that Lu Zixin was exaggerating. Can this little thing carry twenty kilograms? How can it be so powerful
The four-rotor medium-sized logistics drone they made is now very difficult to carry a load of ten kilograms. The small size of this small flying saucer means that the jet device inside is also micro, and the energy supply is difficult to meet.
"It's really twenty kilograms, not two kilograms?" Hou Xinghua confirmed again.
"That's twenty kilograms!" the R&D researcher of the Hongxin team affirmed, "Now we can go outside and show it."
"Come on, let's take a look. I still don't believe it. Such a gadget can carry twenty kilograms!" Hou Xinghua was a little unconvinced. He didn't believe that his team's research could be so different from Hongxin's!
They came to the yard and first debugged the electric jet drone. Hou Xinghua and others were really surprised to see that it could really fly with jets. The power of this thing seemed to be what it was.
Just carrying a weight of twenty kilograms is a bit too exaggerated.
Just as they were preparing a 20-kilogram sample package for a test flight, someone suddenly visited them. They were staff from the Shunfeng Logistics UAV Research Base nearby.
"What's wrong with you?" someone asked.
The Shunfeng staff over there explained: "It's like this, we are in some trouble and would like to ask for your help."
