Gu Hongzhong returned just as August 1st was approaching.
After he came back this time, he planned to go to Nanzui.
"Engineer Gu! How far have you progressed in researching that system called 'what'?"
"The joint combat system is almost ready. It's already been handed over to the military. We can't get involved with the rest, so we're coming back."
"So you're not going to study anymore?"
"We can research it ourselves at home. If we figure it out, they'll buy it. Xiao Wan! This time I found something interesting."
Wan Feng also became interested: "What's interesting? Tell me quickly."
“It’s an airplane that doesn’t require human control.”
Damn drone!
Wan Feng began to scratch his head. Is it too early to make drones now?
"Gu Gong! How did you know about drones?"
"I saw in a military publication that the Americans are researching drones called Mosquitoes. They've been deploying them since 1994. I think it's quite interesting."
mosquito?
Wan Feng began to recall the articles about drones he had read in his previous life. After thinking for a long time, he vaguely remembered that the first drone researched by the United States was indeed called Mosquito.
The reason why it is called mosquito is because it is small and because it really looks like a mosquito.
The famous American predator evolved from it.
"Drones are very complicated. It seems our country doesn't have the conditions to control their flight right now, right?"
If drone navigation doesn't rely on satellites, it has to rely on GPS. China suffered a loss last year with GPS, and it probably wouldn't use it even if the US asked it to. As for Beidou...
Beidou is a matter for the future. After suffering losses from GPS, China began to research its own navigation system. It is still unclear whether the project has been approved or not.
"Oh! Xiao Wan! You know about drones too?"
Wan Feng shook his head. "I don't understand much. I only know that drones need navigation. Without navigation, they're just bullshit. What kind of navigation are you going to study?"
"For now, we can use inertial guidance or radio guidance. It's enough to be able to fly within a certain distance, and then we can slowly research it. This thing is still a blank in China, and I want to study it."
Wan Feng was truly an idiot when it came to drones. He had no idea that drones could navigate without satellite signals.
His knowledge of drones came from websites in his previous life, and he hadn't learned about them in detail. He just watched the videos for fun.
"Engineer Gu! What's going on with this inertial guidance?"
"Inertial guidance is a technology that uses the principles of inertia to control and guide missiles or aircraft toward their targets. The principle is to use an inertial measurement device to measure the motion parameters of the aircraft, generate guidance instructions, and then automatically guide the aircraft to the target area by controlling the direction, magnitude, and duration of the propulsion system's thrust..."
Wan Feng was overwhelmed by what he heard and quickly stopped Gu Hongzhong who was about to continue.
"Engineer Gu! Don't explain this to me. It's like talking to a cow, I don't understand at all. Since you said this inertial guidance system is useful, then go ahead and research it. But what are you going to use as a propulsion system? I'm afraid the fuel is going to be very limited, right?"
Fuel-powered drones are large drones.
"I want to make a small drone using an electric motor. The first step is to make it fly. We already have relatively mature small lithium batteries, so I'll try them out first. Once it flies, I'll do research on its control."
It seems that Gu Hongzhong has already considered many issues regarding drones and has made detailed plans.
"Since you have this idea, let's do it first. You've been in the military for so long. Have you heard anything about the rotorcraft of the American Bell Helicopter Company?"
Gu Hongzhong shook his head.
It seems that the U.S. Osprey rotorcraft will not be deployed in the U.S. military for another two years. However, this aircraft has been under research for decades. Doesn’t the military have any information about it?
Let Gu Hongzhong study it first, and when he has made some progress, introduce him to the small four-axis drone like DJI.
Oh my god! If Gu Hongzhong were to start researching quadcopters now, how many years ahead of schedule would that be?
DJI was founded in 2006, but it didn't produce its first drone until 2012.
Gu Hongzhong started researching drones now, which means he is nearly ten years ahead of schedule.
If Gu Hongzhong can fully understand the research on drones, it will be a huge asset for both military and civilian use.
"I'll allocate 10 million to you first. You can do research on the materials first. If the money is not enough, you can submit a report."
Gu Hongzhong left happily.
It is more than 300 miles from here to Nanzui. His safety must be given the highest level and nothing can go wrong.
After returning to the office, Wan Feng began to recall some major international events from now to 2000.
It can be said that the world was in turmoil in the late 1990s, with contradictions, turmoil and chaos everywhere.
Since July 2nd when Thailand abandoned its fixed exchange rate system and adopted a floating exchange rate system, the Asian financial crisis has begun to sweep across the world and will soon spread to the Philippines and Malaysia, followed by Singapore and Indonesia, where the exchange rate has collapsed.
Further down is Taiwan, Hanguo, and Riben.
While the financial crisis was taking place in Asia, Yugoslavia in Europe had been in civil war for many years, and NATO was planning to intervene in the Balkan Peninsula.
This is the worst time, but it may also be the best time.
Europe has nothing to do with Wan Feng, but the impending Asian financial crisis will bring many opportunities.
It was at this time that Wan Feng realized that there seemed to be too few financial talents in the group.
Because he has never thought about getting involved in the financial circle, he has not paid enough attention to financial talents.
This is a problem that must be solved.
Thinking of this, Wan Feng picked up the phone and called Lin Lairong, asking her to find a way to recruit some financial talents for him in Xianggang.
Lin Lairong was a little confused after receiving the call. Is Boss Wan going to get involved in finance?
After that, Wan Feng seemed to have nothing to do, so he drew a DJI quadcopter based on his memory. He didn't know what model it was, and it wasn't standard, but he just drew a rough outline.
If I just sit on the sofa and watch, Zhou Liming will see me.
"Brother-in-law! What the hell is that? A mosquito?"
Wan Feng stuffed the paintings into the drawer. Mosquito? You can't imagine it.
"Didn't I tell you to call me Mr. Wan at work? Even outside, you're not allowed to call me brother-in-law. You and Zhang Juan haven't gotten married yet. Maybe Zhang Juan is with someone else. Haha, if she runs away with someone else, there's nothing between you and me anymore."
Zhou Liming smiled bitterly, what Wan Feng said was true.
He and Zhang Juan haven't gotten married yet, so everything is unknown. Zhang Juan still has many suitors, so he has to marry her quickly.
"Get married? Will you be safe after getting married? How can you get divorced after getting married?" Wan Feng poured cold water on Zhou Liming without any hesitation.
