Chapter 775 Technical Details
When I returned to the helicopter and handed David's rifle to him, David fell asleep within five seconds of taking the gun.
Americans do not regard being captured as a shame, and even as an experience that they can boast about. Of course, this has a premise, that is, they are really unable to resist after a hard fight. Surrendering due to fear of fighting and losing in a hard fight are two different things. So Leon and his friends did not have much psychological burden. After all, facing the siege of tanks and armored vehicles, and without any anti-tank weapons, if they insisted on fighting, they would only end up earning a pension.
It is a skill to make a fortune at the airport, and it is an unexpected surprise, but Leon and his friends should be grateful to Gao Guang for spending tens of millions of dollars and leading people to rush into the headquarters of the Egyptian Front to snatch people back.
It stands to reason that saving people is a duty, but how many people in this world can abide by their duties, and how many bosses are willing to spend a lot of money to save people, not to mention personally leading people and charging in a wheelchair to save people. Many things that are taken for granted are not so natural to do, so no matter who sees Gao Guang saving people, they have to give him a thumbs up and say good things.
From Lloyd, Tom, Hank and other partners, to Patrick, David and Ricardo, King Defense employees, to Otto, the cheap teacher and many teachers' wives, Gao Guang's character of righteousness over profit must make them look up to him.
Many things are not about listening to what others say, but about how to do it.
Gao Guang has never said how loyal he is, nor how great he is, but what he does makes people feel at ease and at ease.
Even people who have been ripped off in business think that Gao Guang is a good person, just like the lord, he has a grudge against Gao Guang, but now his business is still flying, why, because Gao Guang's business is fair.
"How much does our drone cost?" "Two hundred and forty thousand."
"US dollars?"
"Of course it's US dollars. "
Gao Guang was a little dazed for a moment because a drone costing $240,000 just exploded. He couldn't afford the cost. Swallowing his saliva, Gao Guang said carefully: "Can the cost be reduced?"
"Of course it can be reduced. I estimate that if we can purchase a thousand sets of key components at a time, the cost can be reduced to $20,000. The main one is the balance instrument that adjusts the flight attitude. The balance instrument is not expensive, but it is expensive to miniaturize it to be installed on the drone. It is very expensive, one costs $82,000."
Gao Guang stuttered: "Why is it so expensive?"
Yuan Zheng lowered his voice and said: "I bought it from a laboratory at MIT. I bought five and spent a total of $400,000. I also spent $10,000 to treat those otakus to dinner. Otherwise, how do you think I got it? This is a military cooperation project of the Pentagon. It is confidential."
Gao Guang suddenly realized and said: "You still have this way. How much does it cost to purchase on a large scale? ”
“The production cost is at most a few hundred yuan, and large-scale procurement costs thousands of yuan? But I think with your relationship with the Pentagon, do you still need to spend money to buy it? That's the truth. For a Pentagon project, why spend money?
Gao Guang was very pleased that Yuanzheng now understood the principle of taking advantage of others, but after thinking about it, he hesitated and said, "Apart from the balancer, the cost is still high. What other parts are more expensive?"
Yuanzheng was in high spirits, and he smiled and said, "To be frank, it's worthless. The most expensive thing is this circular blaster. As you all know, the cross-country aircraft is small in size and fast in speed. To maximize the power in the smallest volume, we must find a way to solve the effectiveness of the warhead. I thought about it for a long time and tried for a long time, and found that most of the power of explosives such as grenades is actually wasted. To achieve precise strikes, it is better to use the discrete continuous rod warhead of air-to-air missiles to achieve circular scattering of explosive fragments."
Discrete continuous rod warhead, this layer of window paper is really broken with a poke.
The so-called discrete rod warhead is a circle of steel nails connected end to end, much like the rows of nails in an air nail gun. It is most commonly used in air-to-air missiles and low-altitude missiles because it can achieve maximum power in a very small volume with as little charge as possible.
Why don't ordinary artillery shells use this kind of warhead? Because the volume limit is not large, there is no need for it.
Just figure it out, but Gao Guang whispered: "This thing is not that difficult, is it? Is it very expensive to make?"
"Not that difficult? Are you kidding? This thing is not big, but the technical difficulty is not small. I asked a friend to make it in the laboratory. It is a miniature discrete rod bomb with a RDX charge, an electronic fuze, and an electronic level. It explodes at a set height..."
Yuanzheng demonstrated a flight with his hands. He said happily: "In order to increase the speed, the drone is tilted forward. When it needs to explode, the drone has to adjust its attitude. This requires a miniature electronic level. Then when it is adjusted to the right angle, the electronic fuze is detonated, and the fragments fly out in all directions. At a distance of five meters, the dispersion gap of the fragments is six centimeters, which can guarantee an absolute killing effect. At seven meters, the gap is nine centimeters. At eight meters, the gap is expanded to fifteen centimeters, but it can still guarantee an absolute hit effect on the torso position."
The drone exploded, and the explosion fragments spread out in all directions. The closer to the center of the explosion, the denser the fragments, and the farther away, the sparser. This principle is very simple.
Gao Guang wanted to ask a question, but Yuanzheng smiled and said: "I know what you want to ask. After knowing the killing range, I want to know whether the power is correct. Let's put it this way. Today, the two bombed were anti-personnel warheads and unprotected personnel. So the fragment is very small, a thin steel wire with a diameter of two millimeters and a length of 1.2 centimeters, but this fragment is rotated horizontally and flies
It came out like a blade, leaving a bloody hole in the leg. It was definitely powerful enough. "
Gao Guang opened his mouth and said with a puzzled look on his face: "Then..."
"The warhead used to hit a car is a shaped hollow charge warhead. You must know this. It is an armor-piercing projectile. This is a failed product. It can be used to hit civilian vehicles, but it cannot be used to hit military vehicles. The charge is still too small. And mention
.··
The red copper piece for the metal jet is also too small, and generally speaking, it is not powerful enough. "
Gao Guang nodded and said, "So this is the bulk of the cost?"
"Yes, in addition to the flight control system, there are also cameras and other things. The leveler and warhead are the bulk of the cost. I made five warheads and it cost me 600,000."
Spreading his hands, Yuan Zheng said confidently: "What you asked me to study, I couldn't do it myself, so I had to ask someone to do it. And this kind of thing is contraband, no one dares to make it, so I just It allows people to do it secretly, so the cost is more of a risk cost. If it is mass-produced, two hundred US dollars per one will be enough. "
Gao Guang was very pleased and said: "That means that if one drone is mass-produced, it will cost up to 20,000?"
"You need to be able to reduce the cost of the drone to a consumable level, um, two thousand dollars?"
Gao Guang was stunned for a while and said: "The cost can be two thousand, then I sell one for one hundred thousand dollars, which is fifty times the profit." No one on the plane said anything. After a while, Leon suddenly said: "Boss, your idea is wrong."
Gao Guang looked at Leon, who said excitedly: "When you Chinese people do business, you like to add a little profit to the cost before selling. This habit is actually very annoying. You don't see Europeans and Americans doing business like this. , we don’t look at cost, we look at whether there are similar products on the market. If there is no competition, we will sell them according to the user’s tolerance limit during the monopoly period. Even if you sell one million, as long as you can sell it, it will be fine. Wait until you have it. After competition, it’s not too late to sell at a lower price.”
Gao Guang is indeed accustomed to selling things at a price added to the cost, but Leon is right. Since it is a sole business, you don't care how much it costs.
Gao Guang thought for a long time, and then he said to Yuanzheng: "From now on, you will pay 10% for every drone we sell, permanently, no matter how much it sells for or how long it takes." Yuanzheng is the inventor and the manufacturer. the user, or the user.
We must respect intellectual property rights and the interests of inventors. This financial path is made through expeditions, and a permanent 10% commission should be almost enough.
Yuanzheng readily accepted, and then he smiled and said: "There are two types of anti-personnel warheads. One is the discrete thin-rod warhead I just mentioned, and the other is the thick rod. This thick rod is more difficult because our opponents There are always heavy-duty bulletproof vests. Thin rods can’t penetrate them, but thick rods can’t penetrate them either. I have to find a suitable way.”

Gao Guang couldn't help but said: "Actually, it's enough. You know the Butterfly Mine? It's a landmine specially designed to explode legs. It can't kill people, but it can maim people. During combat, it's enough to seriously injure one enemy. The enemy also has to provide manpower to take care of the wounded. ”
Leon couldn't help but said: "Don't tell the knights about this later. Just say that the cost is very high. From now on, we will give them a friendly price of two hundred thousand dollars each. This kind of product requires high-end users, and knights are high-end users." , they can afford it.”
Gao Guang thought about it for a while, nodded heavily, and then said to Yuanzheng: "Do you think Archer Arsenal can build this kind of warhead?" Yuanzheng thought for a while and said: "Maybe, it's not very good. It’s difficult because it requires high processing accuracy.”
That’s ok, the cost of this drone can be significantly reduced.
Gao Guang couldn't wait to call Lloyd, not for anything else but to ask if he could purchase some miniaturized spirit levels. But when the helicopter landed, before Gao Guang could call him, Lloyd called him first.
"The crew and maintenance personnel sent to you have already taken off with the parts. Is there any problem at your airport?" Lloyd didn't mention Gerald's matter, and he didn't mention it either.
"The airport is fine. We still have it in our hands. General, we just killed three people over there." Lloyd didn't mention it, and Gao Guang said it himself.
Lloyd said without thinking: "No need to pay attention. Since they started the trouble first, we can't just let it go. I've already told them that someone must be punished." Gao Guang didn't say much, but Lloyd Ed did a good job because he didn't push the issue to the fore.
If Lloyd told the other side that he could let Gerrard go, but it was too late to tell Gao Guang, then he put the pressure on Gao Guang, but if Lloyd took the responsibility himself and directly fought back , that is, he is under pressure.
Very well, in this matter, Lloyd passed the test. He is a responsible partner and worthy of trust.
Gao Guang smiled and whispered: "General, we need to purchase some miniature electronic levels. Please pay attention to them. We will discuss them in detail later."
"Okay, I'll wait for your good news."
After hanging up the phone, Gao Guang got off the helicopter and eagerly said to Warhammer who came to pick him up: "How are you, are you okay? Has the enemy attacked the airport?"
Zhan Hammer looked serious, and he said to Gao Guang: "I just want to talk about this issue. I just received a report from the ground forces that were supposed to cooperate with us that an armored force is coming towards us. It is an armored.
Force!
No way, the armored force can't handle this.
Gao Guang took a deep breath, and then he said to Zhan Hammer: "Can't defend?" Zhan Hammer shook his head, and then he said calmly: "It costs more money."
