Chapter 555 Drone (Part 2)

Guo Tailai was about to explain, but General Sun waved his hand to stop him: "Don't talk about it, I will make a list of items later, let's look at them one by one!"

After finishing speaking, he focused his eyes on the remote control drone again, looked at the drone flying up and down and asked, "If this thing is enlarged, can it be used as a helicopter?"

Enlarge the future DJI UAV as a helicopter? General Sun can really figure it out. However, Guo Tailai still replied: "If it can be used, it can be used, but I'm afraid it's not very economical to have four engines. There are only two Ospreys."

"We can't do the Osprey, we can use two propellers to take off and land vertically, and then the other two propellers will fly horizontally!" General Sun said whimsically, probably also stimulated by Guo Tailai's idea.

"Look for an expert technical demonstration." Guo Tailai is not very proficient in this area and dare not speak big words, but Guo Tailai knows that there will be a three-engine model in the future, and maybe one day he can make it for fun.

"That makes sense." General Sun nodded, and asked again: "Can it only be used for reconnaissance?"

"It can be loaded with a weapon." Guo Tailai replied: "It's a bit heavier. It should be no problem to load a submachine gun, assault rifle or RPG and command it remotely. It would be more convenient to make a special recoilless firearm."

In the future movie "Wolf Warrior 2", there will be a shot of a drone equipped with a submachine gun. In addition, Lao Maozi has an RPG installed on a drone, which is brutal.

"Actually, as long as you can do a good job in reconnaissance, you will be quite successful." Seeing the two generals and Li Dong both in deep thought, Guo Tailai said with a smile: "The camera lens should be better and clearer, and it can be high-definition from a thousand meters away." For reconnaissance, the concealment design, scouting snipers, and correcting the trajectory of artillery fire can all be used. This small thing flies a long distance and high altitude, and the enemy has to spend a lot of trouble if they want to fight. This thing is easy to carry and not too heavy. Compared with using It is more convenient for personnel to scout, and you don’t feel bad if you lose.”

"Let's go back to the conference room." General Chu didn't leave, and said directly: "Get some lunch for me, and the meeting will continue at noon."

Guo Tailai had no choice but to follow suit, but he asked for three copies himself, and a group of people returned to the conference room again to continue the topic just now.

"I saw that the drone is ready to fly, what is the problem that needs to be solved now?" General Chu asked directly after entering the conference room and sat down.

"In addition to considering various sizes and applications and finer control, the main thing is the battery, which determines the battery life." Guo Tailai said quickly. Everyone nodded silently. This is a real problem. Not only this drone, but also the individual exoskeleton made by Academician Wang last time was also stuck in the bottleneck of the battery.

"Is there a solution?" Zhao Xiangbei asked talkatively.

"Off-the-shelf, no." Guo Tailai shook his head directly: "We can only wait for the technology upgrade in the industry. In addition, I have a few ideas, and I want to talk to some counterpart professors in the school to see if they can make some suggestions on this. Research breakthroughs, but that takes more time."

"Tell me about it." General Chu became happy, as long as he has a technical research direction! I'm afraid I can't even figure out the direction.

"I'm thinking about it too." Guo Tailai said with a smile: "Or you can consider the direction of graphene, or super Faraday capacitors, see if you can study it in depth, maybe it can solve the problem, maybe it can't, who knows?"

When it comes to weapons and equipment, the two generals and the two chairman may have the concept, but when it comes to purely academic technology, they are blinded. They can only look at Zhao Yanyan, hoping that Zhao Yanyan can explain.

"It seems that the preparation method of graphene has not been found yet, and the specific properties are not particularly understood." Zhao Yanyan looked at Guo Tailai, and quickly explained: "The super Faraday capacitor is actually the simplest capacitor we have learned in physics books. There is an insulating medium between the two positive and negative electrodes."

"Is there any advantage to this?" General Chu asked with a frown.

"Compared to the nickel-metal hydride batteries and lithium batteries currently in use, Faraday capacitors have no electrochemical reaction, are safe and reliable, and will not explode and burn if they are damaged. The charging and discharging speed is fast, the number of charge and discharge times is unlimited, the ultra-high charge-discharge rate, and ultra-high power "Zhao Yanyan first affirmed the advantages of Faraday capacitors, then shook his head slightly and said: "But at present, there is no suitable medium and process problems, and high-power supercapacitors cannot be realized yet."

"What is graphene?" Zhao Xiangbei asked again.

"Graphite is carbon atoms stacked vertically in a regular hexagonal arrangement. A single layer of hexagonal carbon atoms is graphene, and graphite is graphene stacked layer by layer." Zhao Yanyan quickly explained.

"You mean it's a very basic thing?" Zhao Xiangbei asked speechlessly.

"You can also say that." Zhao Yanyan nodded.

"Why is high technology going back more and more now? It's the most basic structure but can solve big problems?" Zhao Xiangbei sighed, expressing that he couldn't understand the world anymore.

"This can be regarded as another kind of Occam's razor principle!" Zhao Yanyan and Guo Tailai looked at each other with a kind of fun that only the two of them could understand.

Zhao Xiangbei originally wanted to continue to ask which brand of Occam's razor was from and how sharp it was, but when he saw the smiling expressions of Guo Tailai and Zhao Yanyan, he knew that this must be another one of them. A certain theory of tacit agreement, such as the prisoner's dilemma, was like this last time, and it is still the same this time.

The lunch box was delivered, and everyone made do at the conference table. Except for Li Dong, everyone knew that Guo Tailai had a big appetite, so no one was surprised that Guo Tailai ate three portions by himself.

"Fatty, do you think this kind of unmanned aircraft will be used more and more in the future?" General Chu asked Guo Tailai slowly after eating and waiting for the guards to clear away the lunch boxes.

"That's for sure." Guo Tailai replied without hesitation: "Now that electronic technology is so developed, the Internet is going to become the mainstream of the world, and future wars will definitely be dominated by electronic and informationalization. The Gulf War has proved that communication and The establishment of data links is definitely the trend of the times and must be ahead of the curve. If all these are realized, let alone such small unmanned aerial vehicles, even large fighter reconnaissance aircraft may also appear unmanned."

"If there is no driver, will the flexibility decrease?" General Chu asked again.

"On the contrary." Guo Tailai shook his head and said, "Without a driver, there is no need to consider the extreme overload that humans can bear. The performance of the fighter will be higher, as long as various sensors and data communication technologies can keep up. In addition, the will to fight will be completely It’s different, after all, there is no driver, just a person behind the remote control, and will never be afraid of sacrifice. Of course, our fighters must have a will of steel. This is the combat thinking of the US imperialists, but we can also refer to it.”
