Back at the UAV test site, flight testing is still proceeding in an orderly manner.
As soon as Zhou Yan landed, he was pulled into the office by Xu Chongsheng and handed over a document.
"A feasibility report on the intelligent drone network attack system?" After reading the cover, Zhou Yan raised his head and glanced at Xu Chongsheng, "Old Xu, don't tell me, this is the airline's next project?"
"It's just pre-research," Xu Chongsheng said with a smile. "The basic theory of the variable cycle engine has been verified. The key technology of the sixth-generation aircraft is only the UAV network and the overall aerodynamic layout of the body.
Already..."
"Hey..." After hearing this, Zhou Yan sighed, "I originally planned to build a stealth strategic bomber first..."
"Just brag," Xu Chongsheng was naturally unconvinced. "We have ready-made technology for sixth-generation aircraft, and there is basically no technical threshold. As for strategic bombers, they are indeed good things, but they are not privately owned by us.
What enterprises can do..."
"Okay, I'll sort out the information on hand when I get back," Zhou Yan thought for a while and replied, "I'll give you an answer on November at the latest..."
Although Zhou Yan has experienced many air force dungeons, the world of each dungeon is actually different. For example, in the Dragonrider dungeon that he followed Lin Mo in, which focused on air combat, the quality and technical and tactical levels of pilots from various countries were different due to the high-intensity air combat.
Actual combat and cruel elimination of life and death are far beyond the current world.
In the copy of "Sky Hunter", the quality of the air force is almost the same as in reality, but the liberation of Taiyuan in the final stage relied on deeply improved fifth-generation aircraft and drones that could cover the sky and the sun.
At present, Lockheed Martin's JX-20 and Shen Hoy's JX-35 have been approved. If Zhou Yan wants to build a fighter jet, he can only find another way - "launch satellites" and build a six-sixth satellite based on a drone network.
Generation machine.
Although Xu Chongsheng said that Qingyan Aviation already has the conditions to develop sixth-generation aircraft and has no technical threshold, in fact, Qingyan has not made a breakthrough in the core technology of sixth-generation aircraft.
In Zhou Yan's view, the core technology of sixth-generation aircraft is the decision-making AI that assists pilots in controlling the UAV network: it can select the optimal solution from a large amount of data for pilots' reference.
The auxiliary decision-making AI on the core machine does not have generally high hardware requirements. The reliability requirements of the original general-purpose military processors are relatively high. Coupled with the processing speed requirements, the difficulty has not been increased by a little.
The processor equipped on the drone will have higher requirements. It can fly at transonic speeds, needless to say, the processing speed; and it can also fly autonomously, which requires making accurate judgments based on weather and radar data, and it also has to assist the core machine.
More importantly, as a wingman, the drone can receive instructions from the core aircraft in real time, and the data link must be reliable; and according to actual combat needs, the drone can separate from the crew and regroup with the early warning aircraft...
It was rare for him to have a hard bone to chew on that he hadn't touched yet. Zhou Yan didn't find it difficult, but was a little eager to try...
"Lao Xu, if nothing happens, we will withdraw first..."
"Okay," Xu Chongsheng was a little helpless, "If there are any problems during the test, I will call you..."
Before leaving, we have to make arrangements for Cheng Lidong and his family.
"Brother Dong, in the past few days, the company has a commuter flight to Feiyunzhong. You can leave the car here first, and my people will drive it back for you..."
After making arrangements for the Cheng family, the next morning, after having breakfast early, Zhou Yan drove the RV and took Qin Ruoshu on the return journey.
"Brother, shall we go back directly?"
"I remember that Lao Zhao's house is not far from the highway. Let's go and have a look..." Zhou Yan hung the Bluetooth headset on his ear and motioned for Qin Ruoshu to dial.
"Old Zhao, I'm Zhou Yan."
"Why are you willing to call me?" Judging from the voice on the other end of the phone, Zhao Ruijie was a little surprised.
"I'm in Hulunbuir now, walking towards your house..." Zhou Yan chuckled, "I miss you a bit..."
"How long?"
"About two hours..."
Two hours later, as soon as he got off the highway, Zhou Yan spotted the Jeep Scout parked on the side of the road and Zhao Ruijie standing next to the car.
"Didi didi..."
He pulled the car over and honked the horn a few times. Zhao Ruijie was startled. When he saw Zhou Yan in the driver's seat, he realized what he was doing and walked closer with a smile.
"Hey, Mr. Zhou, have you changed your car again? This car is of high quality!"
"If you want, I can get one for you!"
"Forget it, come with me!"
The grassland is vast and sparsely populated. The RV followed Zhao Ruijie's off-road vehicle and drove on the road for half an hour before seeing a small town with a gathering area.
The car zigzagged in the small town and drove to a two-story building. The car stopped and Qin Ruoshu had already prepared his things and put them at hand.
"Hello uncle, hello aunt!"
After entering the door, Zhao's mother went to the kitchen, leaving Zhao Ruijie's father and Zhao Ruijie chatting with her.
"Old Zhou, why are you here?" Zhao Ruijie smiled and poured tea for Zhou Yan and his wife.
"The airline's drone was here for a test flight, so I followed him by the way." Zhou Yan looked at the furnishings in the living room and looked at his old classmates with a smile, "By the way, why didn't you see your partner coming?"
"You guy, what are you thinking about?" Zhao Ruijie rolled his eyes, "You're not married yet!"
"Then when will you get married?"
Father Zhao silently gave Zhou Yan a thumbs up.
"It hasn't been decided yet..." Zhao Ruijie felt a little guilty from his tone.
Okay, let's talk about something happy.
"The company's material procurement this year is still normal, right?"
"It's not bad," Zhao Ruijie smiled. "This year's meat procurement has doubled compared to last year, and the price is good. Basically, all purchases are settled in cash. Herders are rushing to sign letters of intent to supply supplies for the next year."
"What about salary? What are your requirements?" Zhou Yan said with a smirk on his face.
"Aren't you trying to trick me by making a request to you?" Zhao Ruijie glared at Zhou Yan, "I made a request here, and our boss will have to talk to me later..."
"If I don't give you a salary increase, what will you do if you buy a house?" Zhou Yan sighed slightly, "How much have house prices increased in your county?"
"More than four thousand!"
"If you want to buy, buy it quickly. If you don't have enough money, just ask." Zhou Yan kept staring at Zhao Ruijie as he spoke. "Although the actual value of the house is only more than two thousand at most, four thousand is basically a relatively balanced value."
The price is up, and the further you go, the higher the house price is. By the way, Lao Zhao, where does your partner work?"
"Teachers from the middle school in the county town, their school is not far from our company..." Zhao Ruijie said with a bit of pride on his face, "I am from the Normal University, and I am in the same class as us..."
"I remember," Zhou Yan said happily, "you often went to the lawn of Huohuo Normal University..."
As he spoke, Zhou Yan seemed to have remembered something, and said earnestly: "Old Zhao, many of the classmates we play with are married and have children. You have to hurry up, otherwise we won't have anything in common when chatting in the future...
…”
"That's it..." Father Zhao echoed, "hurry up and get married and have children. When the time comes, your mother and I will take care of your children, and it won't affect your and your wife's work..."
Zhao Ruijie's head suddenly grew bigger: "My wife said that at least I need a stable job..."
"Yes..." Zhou Yan was speechless, "I'll call your boss later and ask him to donate something to the school..."
"That's not the case, you still have to spend money..."
"What are you thinking about?" Zhou Yan was a little helpless, "This money must be spent sooner or later. We must establish good relations with the local people and not suffer losses..."
