Chapter 730: Integrated surveillance and attack drone

Qin Tao shook his head: "I'm sorry, I can only provide warning of danger and see what may happen in the future, but I can't tell you how to solve the problem."

Qin Tao said it was very difficult. This is an unsolvable problem! If they don't cooperate with FAW, they won't be able to solve the birth certificate problem. If they cooperate with FAW, they will be picked off by FAW.

FAW is definitely the best at doing this kind of thing. The small Qiongzhou Automobile Factory is nothing. Xiali was played to death by FAW. He was originally independent and lived a happy life, but in the end he became a subordinate of FAW. , they didn’t get any technology. All FAW wanted was their qualification to cooperate with Toyota. With Xiali gone, FAW and Toyota were able to cooperate like a duck in water.

Qin Tao knew these results, so he issued a warning, but if he was asked to say how to deal with it, he really couldn't tell. After all, FAW is a behemoth and is not in the same industry as him.

In the future, even Mingzhou Group will also develop cars, and they will also develop electric vehicles, not fuel vehicles, so it is a new field. And at the beginning, their electric vehicles were just toys for the rich, just like General Motors has the same impact, and will slowly lower the price in the future, eventually competing with ordinary fuel vehicles. Since it is taking a high-end route, it will naturally not be able to compete with behemoths like FAW. They want to compete. These are luxury cars imported from abroad at high prices.

“Mr. Qin, I heard that you also want to enter the automobile industry. Our Qiongzhou Automobile Factory hopes to cooperate with you.” Director Jing continued.

Hearing what he said, Qin Tao realized that the other party had encountered difficulties and was on the verge of bankruptcy, so he wanted to find his own side to support him. Cooperation with FAW was risky. Qin Tao foreshadowed it, so they did not There is no other choice but to continue looking for Mingzhou Group.

Although Qin Tao has never considered the electric vehicle project as a priority, it has been publicized for several years, so Director Jing, a caring person, has long paid attention to it.

“We are taking the route of electric vehicles.” Qin Tao said: “And it is still in the design stage. We have only overcome the problem of the power system. There is still a long way to go in terms of the complete vehicle.”

"Mr. Qin, you have the power, and we have the production capacity to produce complete vehicles." Director Jing said, "We can completely cooperate in production! As long as the power you produce is installed on the car casing we produce, we can assemble it. Electric cars are coming. We in Qiongzhou are an island and transportation is inconvenient. The cost of gasoline is higher than inland. If electric cars can be used, it will greatly facilitate the transportation within our island!"

Hearing Director Jing say this, Qin Tao was really tempted.

After an electric vehicle is produced, it needs an experimental base. After all, even if it runs hundreds of thousands of kilometers in a test track, it cannot truly simulate the user's use. Problems will still occur in the user's hands. .

 Electric vehicles are a new thing. If something goes wrong, it may cause the reputation to collapse. It would be a good choice if the electric vehicles produced in the early stage are used in Qiongzhou Island first, and if problems are found during use, they can be modified.

 Furthermore, the island is indeed short of energy. The extensive use of electric vehicles can reduce the consumption of liquid fuel, so it is still beneficial.

Thinking of this, Qin Tao nodded: "Director Jing, these suggestions you put forward are very meaningful. However, if we want to produce electric vehicles, we will inevitably design a new appearance. The mold you have here is..."

In the early days of the development of electric vehicles, there were indeed many vehicles that were converted from oil to electricity. The trunk was freed up to install the battery, and the motor was installed in the front where the engine was originally. This way, the electric vehicle was saved, and then you could make money. It’s a lot of money. The cost is 30,000 yuan, and if it is sold for 300,000 yuan, the state subsidizes 150,000 yuan. If you set up a car rental company by yourself, you can make more than 100,000 yuan by using your left hand and your right hand.

However, this kind of chassis is not suitable. There is a big difference between electric vehicles and ordinary fuel vehicles, so the chassis should also be specially designed, especially the battery. Heavy battery packs cannot be placed in the front, otherwise once the car crashes, it will be gameover. Yes, it is most common to put the trunk in the trunk, but this will cause the car to be heavier in the rear than in the front, and the grip will be reduced. It is okay on flat roads, but will be blind when going uphill or on ice.

 The most appropriate layout is to arrange it on the chassis of the car according to the shape of the car itself. This can lower the center of gravity without affecting the capacity of the trunk, and can also add an additional front trunk.

Of course, there are also problems with this layout: if you hit a bump when crossing a pothole, the consequences will be serious.

With the improvement of national road opinions, this design finally became mainstream, but it is still risky to build this kind of chassis now.

In front of Qin Tao, a Mazda HMC6470 station wagon appeared. In Mazda's product line, this kind of car is called a station wagon, but unlike the European earthenware trucks, this kind of car has a higher chassis and larger tires. It is the style of later generations of SUVs! From today's perspective, it is similar to the Cherokee of this era.

Behind the two rows of doors, there is also a large suitcase, which is directly flush with the roof. It is precisely because of this rear structure that it becomes a station wagon, which can hold a lot of things when traveling.

 Qin Tao suddenly stopped talking when he reached this point, which made Director Jing very curious. He followed Qin Tao's gaze and looked over, and when he saw what Qin Tao was looking at, he felt happy.

"Mr. Qin, this is one of the main models we currently produce, the HMC6470 station wagon. If you like it, we can give you one. Although it can only be driven on the island, Mazda's quality is very reliable."

Qin Tao shook his head: "No, the three-electric system of our electric car can be tested on this car first! I just said that I would order ten cars, five of which need to be this kind of car, as long as the chassis is enough, and then we will Transformed into an electric vehicle.”

　　Electric vehicles still have a long way to go. The three-electric system has come out. Now we need a test vehicle, and we can just use the vehicle in front of us!

 The car is very large and has a strong carrying capacity, so the battery pack can be placed in the trunk. Moreover, this kind of car is front-mounted and rear-wheel drive, so the motor can be placed at the back, or it can also be placed in the front to create a four-wheel drive structure!

 Just use it as a toy for Ma Ming!

Factory Director Jing was immediately overjoyed: "Okay, Mr. Qin, we will prepare a chassis for you right away. Will you modify it here, or will it be sent to you?"

 “Just stay here, I’ll call someone over.”

  The core technology of electric vehicles is in the battery pack and motor. These are all inside. After being delivered to the three-power system, the outside world cannot understand them.

"Okay, we will set aside a warehouse for you to modify. Don't worry, Mr. Qin, we will never let the islanders see your modification project." Director Jing said excitedly.

Although the follow-up path of the factory has not yet been determined, at least a new path has appeared in front of us. Mr. Qin is a very emotional person. Since the two parties have cooperated, Mr. Qin cannot just watch it. Watching oneself go bankrupt.

He also knew that the Mingzhou Group's projects were highly confidential, so he quickly promised that they would never be seen by the islanders and that they would keep it confidential.

Qin Tao nodded with satisfaction: "By the way, Director Jing, I think you are not very old."

“That’s right, Mr. Qin, I graduated in 1988. At that time, there was only one quota to come to Qiongzhou in the whole school, so it was assigned to me. After working for ten years, I became the factory director.”

Hearing this, Qin Tao sighed with emotion: "You are young and promising."

"No, Mr. Qin and I can't compare. Our company is about to collapse. Your Mingzhou Group is already a multinational company. Ashamed, ashamed."

Factory director Jing is very young, only one year ahead of Qin Tao. Qin Tao graduated from university in 1989 and joined the factory in 1989. Looking back now, it is exactly ten years.

To be able to achieve such an achievement in ten years is absolutely unprecedented and unprecedented. Although others are also capable, they are definitely not as good as Qin Tao. Some young people are also young and promising, but they belong to the family. Bless me, Qin Tao is truly self-made. When he took over the shipyard, he was completely broke.

 After visiting the automobile factory, Qin Tao took a plane to your province that evening.

 On the plane.

“How is the search for production qualifications for the auto factory that is about to go bankrupt going?” Qin Tao asked Zhao Ling.

"We are still looking. Every car manufacturer welcomes us, but they don't want to relocate. They just hope that we can acquire them and let them continue to grow and develop. Even those companies that have gone bankrupt are not willing to do so," Zhao Ling said. .

 “It’s good to be alive a long time ago.” Qin Tao sighed with emotion.

This is like the license plate in the capital. The first people who can afford a car can get the license plate at will, and even have five or six brands under their name. Later, the lottery starts, and some even lottery for more than ten years, but they may not be able to get it. .

In the previous era, there was no such thing as automobile production qualification. After all, they were all state-owned and could be used as soon as they were produced. It was not until 1986 that the country established the China Automobile Industry Corporation. This company took the lead and worked with the public security The government, transportation government and construction government jointly manage the country's automobiles in the form of a "catalogue".

In this way, one is in charge of production and the other is in charge of licensing, forming upstream and downstream management. Only production enterprises and products recognized by the four departments will be licensed by the Ministry of Public Security.

 The review at that time was quite simple. If we go to various places to inspect, we will find that all established automobile manufacturers have been included in the catalog. There are more than 100 companies in total, even companies that modify cars are included.

 The original plan was to publish two issues a year to accommodate all rivers and rivers, but later on, this catalog was stuck. Even automobile companies supported by the province such as Qiongzhou Automobile Factory could not do it, let alone private enterprises.

 Now, if you want to enter this industry, there is no other way except to purchase production qualifications and affiliate with other large manufacturers.

“By the way, we are about to join the WTO. Will this be good for us?” Zhao Ling suddenly thought of something and asked Qin Tao.

Joining the WTO is an opportunity. Since the door has been opened to foreign car companies, there is no need to continue to control domestic car companies!

Qin Tao nodded: "This is an opportunity! We can wait and see."

 In fact, the qualifications for automobile production have only been obtained in the past few years. By the new millennium, the few well-developed private enterprises have turned from guerrillas into regular armies, and have developed vigorously, forcing the state-owned enterprises that manufacture cars into a corner.

 Our own side is an electric vehicle and high-tech industry, which should be supported. Later countries will allow foreign investment to set up independent factories, so we will definitely be fine.

 If you can’t buy it, just wait and see. Anyway, now that we have the car shell, let’s test it first.

This matter has come to an end. Next, we will continue to be busy in military industry.

UAVs are of great importance. They are a brand-new weapon in the new millennium. You can see how important this thing is if you look at future generations and have specialized UAV aircraft carriers.

"Leader Wu, Mr. Qin, welcome you to participate in the first flight of our drone." Zhang Wanhe, the director of Yunma Factory, went to the airport to greet him in person. Mr. Qin and the others were flying on an ordinary passenger plane, not a military plane, otherwise they would be directly We landed on the runway of Yunma Factory, now we can only be at this civilian airport.

“Director Zhang, you are moving very quickly,” Qin Tao said.

“This is mainly due to Goose Factory.” Zhang Wanhe said: “Without their help, our drone is just a large model aircraft. Now it has finally reached the level of Global Hawk, or even more advanced.”

"More Advanced?"

“Well, Mr. Qin, you’ll find out when you go and take a look.”

At this time, the sky in the east has begun to light up, and another new day has arrived.

On the runway of Yunma Factory, some people were busy, surrounding a special-shaped aircraft.

If you look at the length, this thing is about the same size as the J-7, but if you look at the wingspan, it is definitely much larger than the J-7. The long wings are like a U-2. When it goes into the sky, it will become A ghost-like existence.

The nose of the aircraft is curved, like a big-headed fly, and the back is retracted. At the tail are two beautiful V-shaped tails, which directly replace the horizontal tail and vertical tail. At first glance, the need for stealth is taken into consideration.

 The layout of the engine is the most special: it is directly stuck on the back of the fuselage and passes through the middle of the V-shaped tail.

The overall shape is a replica of a Global Hawk.

Wu Shengli has seen wooden models in the past, but there was no engine on the back of the aircraft at that time, and a propeller engine was used. Now there is this kind of jet-powered, metal aircraft, which looks very new.

However, what surprised him the most was that missiles were actually mounted near the wing roots!

The U.S. Global Hawk is just a reconnaissance drone. What about our own? Actually started carrying missiles? Judging from the appearance of the missile, it should be a specialized air-to-ground missile.

“Okay, let’s do reconnaissance and strike together.” Qin Tao sighed after seeing the missile: “The best way to carry out a beheading operation! How did you come up with it?”

Qin Tao did not remember that he had proposed the concept of an integrated reconnaissance and strike machine. After all, in this era, electronic technology was still very backward, and drones were only limited to reconnaissance. If they wanted to be able to carry out strikes, there was still a long way to go. Walk.

Who would have thought that this drone could actually achieve strike capabilities?

"We have completed a new algorithm that can input the target into the system. The detection system will compare and confirm the target during the search process." At this moment, one of the people put down the laptop he was testing. , said to Qin Tao: "However, if after confirming the target, we need to call other forces to attack, I am afraid that we will not be able to catch up. Therefore, we might as well carry our own weapons and launch an attack as soon as we find the target. Kill the target!"

The person who spoke was Zhang Dong, one of the leaders of the Goose Factory. At the same time, after receiving this project, he also organized a large number of people to start research and development. He himself was the person in charge of this project. This first flight, naturally I'm going to follow you.

Mingzhou Group is for both military and civilian use. The civilian ships are very powerful, and the military products are even better. Therefore, Zhang Dong has also been infected with this trend. If he wants to do it, he must make it the most advanced in the world!

At this time, Qin Tao was very satisfied after hearing Zhang Dong's words: "You have done a good job! When the first flight is successful, all team members on this project will receive an additional bonus!"

　　What ideals are meaningless? Mr. Qin is so realistic. After he finished speaking, other technical staff present immediately shouted: "Long live Mr. Qin!"

"Hey, don't shout this! If you shouted this twenty years ago, you would be harming me." Qin Tao said.

Wu Shengli also sighed with emotion: "It's amazing. On the battlefield, this kind of weapon is most suitable for carrying out decapitation tactics. We used to have to use special forces and take risks, but now we only need a drone."

Ordinary aircraft can also drop bombs, but the enemy will also fight back. Moreover, ordinary aircraft cannot stay in the airspace for a long time. Even if it is a reconnaissance aircraft, it only flies back and forth, and the information needs to be returned for judgment.

UAVs can stay in the airspace for a long time and master a large amount of data. Now, it has even been extended to attack. How could Qin Tao not sigh, this technology is so awesome!

“Yes, there will be more and more drones in the sky in the future. After all, even if the attack fails, there will be zero casualties.”

 Once a manned fighter jet is shot down, big problems will arise. The pilot will be captured by the enemy and mistreated, which will be a blow to the morale of our own pilots. The dispatch of special forces to rescue will also put our own side at risk. To save one pilot, many more people may die.

 UAVs don’t have this worry.

Of course, the reason why missiles can be installed is also because of the powerful engine. If it only had the previous propeller engine, it would definitely not be able to provide such a strong bomb-carrying capability. Now that it has been replaced with a turbofan engine, the take-off weight can be greatly increased.

"Can we attack the enemy's bridge?" Wu Shengli thought of something and continued to ask.

If you can attack the enemy's bridge and destroy the enemy's combat command system, it means that the entire warship loses its combat effectiveness.

“Yes, our drones have low detectability and can completely fly over. Just set the attack in the program.” Zhang Wanhe said: “Not only can it be used for our own use, we also plan to export it in large quantities.”

When he heard the export, Wu Shengli's face darkened again: "This weapon is a big killer. If we export it, will it pose a threat to ourselves?"

As soon as these words came out, the lively atmosphere cooled down.

The military did not invest, and the entire project was completely independently developed by their Yunma Factory! Military procurement cannot ask for high prices, just to make hard-earned money. Therefore, their Yunma Factory has long planned to introduce this kind of drone to the international market. According to their analysis, hundreds of drones can be sold every year, and the profit Over 100 million.

How many years can JJ7 be sustained? They plan to rely on this kind of drone to make a living in the future. Now, the military is actually afraid of the threat and is unwilling to allow its own export?

Even if they develop it independently, the military still has the power. If they don’t export it, they won’t export it. If they export it, they have to squat in it and even eat peanuts.

“Of course not.” Qin Tao immediately shook his head.

So sure?

Wu Shengli just raised a possibility and did not really stop it. But looking at the faces of everyone, he knew that his question was very sharp. However, Qin Tao's answer was so decisive!

Generally speaking, weapons are double-edged swords. Exporting weapons can make money, but it may also hurt yourself. If you don’t believe it, you can take a look at the Falklands War in 1982. At that time, why did the Weeping Country successfully sink Sherfield with Exocet missiles? German name?

In addition to the reasons analyzed by various military experts, there is another important reason: the Weeping Country also purchased Type 42 destroyers from the United Kingdom. The Weeping Country's navy used its own destroyers as targets and conducted many drills.

Look at the Empire Cemetery now. When Lao Maozi invaded, the United States provided a large number of weapons to help the guerrillas in the Empire Cemetery fight against Lao Maozi. What about now? The Americans entered the Graveyard of the Empire and found the locals greeting them with Stinger missiles!

Now, if you want to sell this kind of drone, even if it is not a reconnaissance and attack aircraft, it will still pose a threat to your own side!

Qin Tao actually said of course not?

“We can completely build in a program so that once export-oriented drones approach our border, they will start an automatic return procedure.” Qin Tao said: “The drones they purchased cannot fly back at all.”

 Can you still do this? Exported drones rarely reach our own borders. Generally, such prefabricated programs will not be discovered. It is normal if they are discovered. The airspace of our motherland rejects any unreported aircraft!

"The navigation system of the UAV has a satellite positioning terminal. Currently we use GPS and Beidou dual-mode navigation. This program can be preset." Zhang Dong said: "Moreover, this program cannot be modified. If If it is modified, the drone will be completely locked and unable to take off."

 Zhang Dong affirmed Qin Tao’s statement from a technical perspective. Moreover, it has been reinforced. Anyone who dares to touch the core program of the drone will turn the drone into scrap metal!
