Chapter 553 First Test
"Drone drawings!" Song He replied.
"It's strange. I've never seen this kind of model before, not even a similar model." Master Ye replied, "While I'm on night shift, I'll help you make a prototype. You can receive the goods at about one or two in the afternoon."
"Okay, thank you master!" Song He said.
"But don't get your hopes up. I've been making drones for more than ten years, and I have a natural intuition about this thing. It's almost an iron rule that the weirder it looks, the better its performance." Master Ye teased, "You're such a thing. Whether it can fly normally is still unknown.”
"Even if you can't fly, please send me the prototype so I can learn from your experience." Song He replied.
The bad news is that Master Ye, as a master craftsman for more than ten years, is not optimistic about the new models he has made.
But Song He didn't panic. There were still a few days until the weekend. Success didn't happen overnight, it was just about making changes slowly.
…
Dozens of kilometers away, there is an underground military factory.
In the drone production workshop, a group of masters in gray work clothes were lying in front of their computers, talking incessantly.
Just now, Master Ye, the small leader of the workshop, sent drawing documents to the internal work group and asked everyone to quickly build a batch of new prototypes according to the drawings.
This kind of prototyping machine work happens every once in a while. Everyone here is an experienced craftsman, so logically they shouldn’t be surprised by it, but after opening the drawings, everyone’s expressions became very strange.
"Old Ye, where did you get this model of drone? It's as ugly as an alien toad!"
"Yes, Lao Ye, I'm so ugly that I work overtime at night just to do this kind of crappy job? I think the overtime pay should be increased, and it should be regarded as mental damage compensation!"
"To be honest, I thought that after so many years of development in the industry, almost all the models that could be produced were already available. I didn't expect that there would be such a weird and fresh design!"
"Can this thing fly? Isn't it a work of art?"
The whole room was full of gray work clothes, only Master Ye was wearing white work clothes. He sighed speechlessly, "What can I do? Someone at the base places an order, let's just make it. What does it have to do with us whether it can fly or not? What does it have to do with us?" We didn’t develop it!”
"Don't keep chatting. It's impossible to increase overtime pay. Where can I get money for you? Do you want me to sell kidneys? They are in a hurry. Work, work!"
After some urging from Master Ye, his subordinates in gray workwear got busy, correcting the dimensions of parts, resetting the production machinery, and verifying the production line...
The workshop is in action, metal parts are smelted, plastic parts are cast one by one, many robots are busy on the assembly line, and the buzzing machine sounds come and go.
At 8 o'clock in the morning, the first prototype was successfully trial-produced!
Master Ye and many of his men in gray uniforms took the elevator to the ground, and set up a honeycomb in the open space, with nine dark gun barrels pointing toward the sky.
"Bet a pack of Double Happiness, this thing can't fly."
"What's the point of betting on Double Happiness? Hua Zi made it with the leftovers and had the nerve to hand it over? If you want to bet, bet on Black Lanzhou!"
"I bet this thing can't fly, two packs of yellow hibiscus!"
"Can't fly, a pack of diamond lotus flowers."
"No one bets that this plane can fly? Who bets that it can fly?"
There was silence, everyone looked at each other, and then a burst of laughter broke out. The gambling game could not start at all. Everyone felt that this weird model could not even fly.
The so-called failure to fly means that the drone lost control after taking off and was unable to fly stably across a test distance. The drone base often provides some unconventional orders, at least 30% of which are products that lose control after takeoff. Everyone is used to it. Today's drone has an unprecedented and strange shape, and it can only be watched for fun.
Master Ye thought for a while, "I'll bet a box of white generals!"
Everyone was startled, and then booed. Master Ye was smart. He only bet on a box of white generals. If he lost, he would not lose much. If he won, he could earn everyone's cigarettes. He is the most slippery of all!
Master Ye held the prototype, stuffed it into the honeycomb, and started it!
"boom!"
A shadow instantly shot up into the sky. Before anyone could react, the shadow turned flexibly and shot toward the distance with a roar. The trajectory was as straight as an arrow!
Everyone's expressions suddenly changed, and no one spoke. Everyone looked at the large screen mounted on the wall. The flight path of the drone was clearly displayed. The speed and stability were ridiculously good!
After a long time, the whistling sound went away and came back again. It dived into the honeycomb and charged automatically.
show!
Excellent performance visible to the naked eye!
Master Ye was stunned, "Damn it, Fei is so beautiful? Can you get a month's worth of cigarettes?"
The subordinates in gray overalls looked at each other, then suddenly turned around and ran away.
"There's no point running! Pay the cigarette later!" Master Ye shouted.
…
2 p.m.
A small desert off-road vehicle roared up the sand dunes, its rear wheels setting off a wave of sand.
Xie Yuanxun was driving, and Song He was the co-pilot. There were three Honeycomb units in the back seat, and three more Honeycomb units in the trunk.
This is the most remote test site No. 6. Within a radius of 20 kilometers, a large number of artillery models and armored vehicle models are placed, as well as sporadic constant-temperature simulation dummy soldier models.
Flying a drone here to see how many models can be detected within a specified time is one of the hard indicators for testing performance.
The reason why they came to the most remote field No. 6 was not because the two wanted to keep it secret, but because the first field No. 5 was occupied by the first, second and third teams, so they had to come all the way here. The windy and sandy road was bumpy, and Song He felt that this was the first time in his life. I got a little motion sick once.
"Holy shit, I'm about to lose my shit." Xie Yuanxun stepped on the accelerator and stepped on the brakes, "I hope this trip all the way was not in vain!"
"It won't be in vain. Master Ye, who makes drones, sent me a message this morning, saying that he tested a prototype and at least the flight performance is excellent." Song He opened the door and jumped out.
The heat wave is rolling!
In the midsummer afternoon, the sun strikes the unobstructed desert like thousands of hot swords. The yellow sand absorbs heat hard, and the surface of the dunes is extremely hot!
He didn't feel anything while turning on the air conditioner in the car. When he got out of the car, Song He felt like he had jumped into an air fryer. The air in the distance was shaking visibly with the naked eye. The wind from the sandstorm had not yet ended, and a rolling heat wave hit his face!
"Have you ever seen that kind of hot sand making coffee?" Xie Yuanxun got out of the car and opened the trunk. "You absolutely cannot hike in this desert. Your blood will boil while walking!"
"Outrageous, it's 70 degrees on the ground!" Song He took out the temperature measuring gun, bent down and took a shot. He was shocked by the value, "I hope the drone can hold on and there will be no thermal failure!"
Sweat quickly broke out on the two men's bodies, and they panted as they lifted the honeycomb down and placed it on the top of the dune.
There are a total of 6 honeycombs and 54 gun barrels, each of which contains a drone.
It is planned to be released in two batches, 27 at a time, with a maximum range of 20 kilometers, which can reach the very edge of the test site.
"Are you ready?" Xie Yuanxun asked.
Song He put a bulky military computer on the front hood of the car, tapped the keyboard a few times, "Okay! Fly!"
The honeycomb bangs!
