Chapter 1913 Big Kid

"Drones?"

At this time, drones were not something that could be easily purchased, nor were they the battery-powered, industrial and military-assisted drones that were later known to the public.

Drones at this time were mainly used in the military field, and naturally they did not use batteries, but jet engines.

"You really want to develop the kind of drones described in science fiction movies," Xiang Xiaofang said.

"That's a long way off," Feng Yiping said.

According to his understanding, the drones that would flourish more than a decade later were actually remote-controlled unmanned aircraft. In principle, they were still an enlarged version, or a professional version, of children's remote-controlled flying toys.

Drones controlled by intelligent brains like those in top-secret flights were still far away.

But it was not bad to have that as a goal.

"Does the country allow entry into such fields?" Jin Ling expressed doubts first.

Because according to current understanding, drones are all used in the military field, and in our country, the military industry is still a closed field, so she had such doubts.

The military system is related to everyone's daily life, in addition to military hospitals, there are various old military doctors.

"The country should support such independent research and development,"

Feng Yiping and Xiang Xiaofang said almost in unison.

Feng Yiping nodded to Xiang Xiaofang, "We can also think about it. The future drones may not be limited to the military field. For example, using our lithium batteries as power to drive a large-sized model aircraft, it can have a certain ability to stay in the air, and then equip it with various accessories,"

"You see, with a camera, it can be used in the filming of our variety shows and film and television dramas, and with a camera, it can take pictures of us from various angles in the air..."

"I think in the future, drones will be more widely used in civilian applications. Those who love traveling, photography, and conceitedness, or remotely control drones downstairs to send flowers to their girlfriends, or use drones with diamond rings to propose to their girlfriends..."

He did not mention the drone delivery that was repeatedly promoted by a certain e-commerce tycoon.

That thing is not impossible to achieve in the more distant future, but at least in more than ten years, it is still unrealistic or uneconomical.

Unrealistic, mainly whether the regulatory authorities will open the airspace.

I believe that no regulatory agency in any country will allow drones with the potential to explode to fly freely over the heads of the people.

As for the uneconomical, at that time, including the drones developed by Amazon, the cargo capacity was limited. Let’s not talk about that. The key is that the drones at that time could only fly for more than 20 minutes after charging for one hour.

In these more than 20 minutes, it can be regarded as delivering three orders - this is already very good, because although it is flying, due to limited cargo capacity, it has to fly back to the logistics point after delivering each order.

In other words, the drone can complete three orders in nearly an hour and a half. On average, it can only deliver about 20 orders in 8 hours.

Not to mention the cost of the drone, you have to invest in a very advanced long-distance remote control equipment, and you have to have a professionally trained person to control it full-time...

With this set, you can hire several couriers.

Jin Ling glared at Feng Yiping in a very hidden way. She had had a similar experience. Ma Wenyi had done something similar to her, but it was not romantic.

The other girls thought that if they could really receive flowers from a drone, for example, a drone would fly to the door and deliver the flowers, it would be quite romantic.

Ma Ling wanted to ask when this could be realized. But Xiang Xiaofang's next words successfully diverted everyone's attention, "In principle, can the Russian space cargo spacecraft also be regarded as an unmanned aircraft?"

She was the only one who paid attention to this aspect because of family reasons. Others did not understand it, but it sounded impressive, a spaceship.

"Yiping, you don't want to do these things in the end, do you?" Jin Ling asked.

"Who knows about the future,"

But it is still difficult.

Talking about spaceships without rockets is like talking about e-commerce without logistics. It is not realistic.

"I want to use that airport as a base to develop battery-powered and engine-powered drones, and build a special aviation town there,"

"Of course, we can also network a large group of scientists there in the future to develop some cutting-edge projects. Hey, you said we should set up an X department, oh, no, a π department, to develop some high-tech ideas that we are interested in,"

Since Google later established an X department, some domestic companies have followed suit, and even the code name has not changed. Feng Yiping is quite ashamed of such behavior. Although X does represent the unknown very vividly, it does not mean that other symbols cannot be used as substitutes, right?

Even if it is imitation and reference, you can also use some thoughts and pay attention to it, right?

People are now calculating more and more digits after the decimal point of pi, mainly for interest. Then, using π as a representative to cover the directions that you are interested in is not very appropriate?

Jin Ling sighed, "I can see that you are just a big kid who wants to play with some bigger toys, right? I think you can have a good chat with Vincent about this issue, and he will definitely like it,"

Men just like to toss these things.

The car repair shop that was opened in the provincial capital a few years ago has now become a modification base for a bunch of guys and has completely become their welfare facility.

It's just that Feng Yiping has little time in the provincial capital and doesn't have many opportunities to enjoy such benefits. So please prepare to hire a group of people to delve into the directions that interest you?

"You have underestimated the power of interests and hobbies. You know, on a larger scale, this is the power that can drive change in the entire world,"

"If you don't believe me, look at it. Vincent, do you want to go to the moon? There is a particularly beautiful fairy on it?" he asked Vincent.

Even Ma Ling laughed. Is this a positive thing? Can it change the interests and hobbies of the entire world?

Vincent looked at his father and then his mother in confusion.

My son didn't cooperate, which was a bit embarrassing.

"There is a rabbit on the moon that is very cute, very smart, and can understand human speech. There is no rabbit on the earth." He had to change direction.

It worked. Vincent didn't ask for help. He immediately said loudly, "I want to go!"

"Did you see it? This is proof that a boy had the desire to go to the moon when he was 3 years old because he liked rabbits," said Feng Yiping.

"Hahaha," everyone laughed to show that his joke was funny.

Feng Yiping was also not impressed.

The establishment of the π department is not a joke.

He also hopes that this department, which has only determined its direction but not specific projects, can leave some solid marks on the road to exploring future technologies.

Who knows whether one or two world-changing technologies will be born here in the future?

Artificial intelligence and life sciences can definitely be included. What other directions can be taken? Perhaps, outer space detectors, antimatter detectors, etc. are not impossible to consider.

With strength and a higher footing, there should be no harm.

Jin Ling's words interrupted his reverie, "We can talk about your interests and hobbies later. Xiaofang has a new idea here that she wants to discuss with you."

"Xiaofang, tell me," Feng Yiping looked at Xiaofang and saw that she was a little excited and excited, and he was also a little curious about what she wanted to say.

"Yiping, that's it. Although the current development of the website is pretty good,"

"That's right. We are already number one in female online literature," Feng Yiping confirmed.

"Haha," Xiang Xiaofang smiled happily, "But this is not enough. The main profit indicator is mediocre at the moment. Therefore, I want to use the existing user base to further tap the potential."

"Given that most of the current users of the website are women, I would like to add a beauty section to the website. What do you think?" She quickly finished her thoughts and stared at Feng Yiping closely.

This can be said to be her first original idea, and she very much hopes to get Feng Yiping's approval.

She saw that after hearing her words, Feng Yiping's eyes lit up and he muttered something, which seemed to be emotion.

Haha, he agrees with his opinion very much

"Oh, it's so lively," Lao Ma's voice came from the door.

"Old Ma, you're here at the right time," Feng Yiping came over and hugged Lao Ma with a smile, "I'm a little thinner."

"It's good to lose weight." Lao Ma focused his attention on Vincent, "Is this it?"
