Chapter 260 UAV Carrier
After the test flight was successful, Miaoxing Laboratory received an evaluation report provided by Xifei, which of course had no problems at all.
"Flying Tmall's test flight was successful, and its performance was extremely perfect, not like a new electric aircraft!" The person who wrote the report praised it in it, almost saying that the plane was unscientific.
No matter what, the matter of the big plane has been completed!
However, Li Maoye's work did not stop. With the report, several Air Force Rabbits came. They hoped that Meow Star Laboratory could continue to help design a truly practical fighter jet.
Large transport aircraft like Flying Tmall are not counted, but rabbits want fighters that can compete with the Bald Eagle in the front!
At the beginning, Li Maoye refused such a request and shook his hand repeatedly, "I don't have time to go to fight the fighter, please ask Gao Ming to ask him for another one!"
"Academician Li! The country needs you..."
One of the Air Force Rabbits was about to persuade him, but the older Air Force Rabbit next to him interrupted: "In fact, there are not necessarily people who need fighter planes, as long as they can be used to fight the enemy's planes!"
"Uh, do you mean you want a drone?" Li Maoye had some idea about this proposal. When he helped Kobayashi analyze the drone, he once imagined a brand new drone. However, if Meow Star Laboratory, as a private R&D institution, took the initiative to develop military weapons, it would be a bit beyond the boundaries.
Now that the Air Force Rabbit takes the initiative to mention it, it will not cause others to be taboo.
"Is it okay to study any kind of fighter jet?" Li Maoye confirmed again, not wanting to make the matter wrong.
When several Air Force Rabbits heard such a request, they were a little nervous and eager: "Does Academician Li have any ideas?"
Li Maoye nodded and said, "I have an immature idea. Come and listen to me..."
Then they took these people to their laboratory, opened a folder, and stored some of his occasional fantasy ideas, of course, they were all creative drafts, and even if they were stolen by others, they could not be used. At most, they knew what Li Maoye wanted to develop.
Li Maoye pulled out a drawing from it, and drew a huge propeller transport aircraft on it. It looked different from the electric push aircraft of Fei Tmall. Its size is very huge, making it look a bit like a giant airship of the last century and looks extremely clumsy.
Judging from the aircraft design drawings, there are no cockpits and pilots entering and exiting, but there are many oval holes on it. Some holes are opening, some are closing, and the open holes reveal drones, and some are recycling drones.
At the same time, there are many drones surrounding it. These drones are marked with values. Each drone is two meters long and weighs one hundred and twenty kilograms. It uses a new Hall propulsion engine, and its maximum speed can reach Mach 3.
"This is……"
Air Force Rabbit has imagined that it would see many design plans on the drawings, and some even thought that there might be spacecraft, but they never expected that it would be such a strange-shaped aircraft, which is a bit like the aerial weapon in the game.
"This is an air carrier of a drone!" Li Maoye explained actively.
"The flight speed of the drone air bus can be maintained at 600 kilometers per hour. It uses the electric propeller engine of Fei Tmall. Each air bus can be loaded with 300 drones. At the same time, each drone has 12 electromagnetic cannons, each projectile weighs 60 grams, and the maximum attack distance is 8 kilometers. After the shooting, you can return to the air bus for replenishment."
That's right, Li Maoye thought about designing a drone air coop. All of them were automated equipment, and it was loaded with swarm artificial intelligence, which was used to detect the air coop for early warning and control through radar detection of the air coop. Then he sent the drone inside to approach at a speed of Mach 3, and then launched a long-range electromagnetic cannon attack, which was shot down before the enemy could react.
Such a drone airframe is simply the killer of sky aircraft.
Even if it is used for ground attacks, the drone can play a certain role, but its biggest purpose is still air-to-air. The speed of Mach 3 is basically no one can keep up. Even if some of the bald eagle's fighters can catch up, the drone must have the advantage in terms of flexibility. It only takes a sudden stop and turn to get rid of the opponent.
Then there are the 12 electromagnetic cannonballs it carries. Although the number is a little small, it can return to the air-couple for replenishment after the attack. What's more serious is that the attack rate of the drone is higher than that of the missile. Even if it cannot be scored 10 shots, it can still be scored 9 shots.
"So how to control the attack target of the air-coupled drone? You can't leave it all to the intelligent AI to make a judgment!" asked one of the Air Force rabbits.
"It's very simple. You just need your own personnel to remotely lock the attack object on the ground, and then just go there just like playing "StarCraft". There will definitely be no accidental injury to your teammates!"
Li Maoye thinks this is not a problem. In addition to the raven-level intelligence loaded on the air-couple, each drone also has a lower-level subsystem based on the air-couple intelligent AI system. The more drones are deployed, the stronger the tactical flexibility they show. It can even be said that only three drones cooperate, and basically no ace pilot can defeat them.
"These aircraft are entering and exiting the holes on the airflight body, right? If ground personnel need to repair and load ammunition, where should they enter?" asked the older Air Force Rabbit.
"The rear of the air-couple can be opened, just like the electric push transport table you are making now. The rear end can also be lowered to allow personnel to enter, but the space inside will definitely be very narrow. It is recommended to hand over the maintenance and replenishment of ammunition to the small assistant mobile phone robot."
"It's all intelligent automation, even maintenance!"
Seeing such a common sense air weapon, several Air Force rabbits hesitated. They didn't know whether this drone airboy was good or bad. Even though they believed the performance data that Li Maoye boasted, they instinctively resisted the plane that did not require people to fly.
"Academician Li, we want to take your plan back and discuss it!"
"No problem! Anyway, this is just my personal idea, and it has not been designed yet!"
"Oh! Then that's it!"
After sending off these complicated Air Force rabbits, Li Maoye threw this matter behind his mind. The so-called drone airframe was indeed just a design that he accidentally rose up. He did not consider more about practicality, cost-effectiveness, etc.
"It seems that this design is too advanced and it definitely does not meet the requirements of the Air Force Rabbit!"
"Well! Do you want love?"
Li Maoye was soon attracted by another thing, which was an application sent by Hollywood filmmakers, and it was related to the newly launched products of Meow Star Group.
It is said that after seeing the m800 robot, the truck driver did not yell to sue the Meow Star Group, but instead had an inspiration that it exploded. It took a week to write a new "Terminator" movie script. After more than a month of revisions, it was finally finalized.
Then the truck driver asked someone to send a request to Meow Star Laboratory through an acquaintance, saying that he wanted to restart the Terminator series of movies, but he needed 100 m800 robots to assist in the filming work, so rent and other things were naturally easy to negotiate.
"The truck driver wants to do real photos? Don't you play computer cg anymore?"
Li Maoye expressed doubts about this, believing that the driver must have wanted to use the limelight of m800 to attract audiences. After all, the computer technology is so advanced now. Not to mention a hundred Terminator, even thousands of robot wars can be made, why do you have to shoot real people!
"It is said that these robots will also attend the premiere as actors. In addition to giving us rent, Fox also promises to pay them actors, buy robot insurance, etc.."
Assistant Xie's answer confirmed his conjecture, but there is no need to object to such things, and it can even be treated as a win-win situation, but he doesn't have to decide on such things at all.
"Where is Zhou Lin and the others? Just let them make an idea!"
"It's not just the robot rental, it also involves your portrait rights issue. In the script, a genius scientist helped the protagonist defeat Skynet..."
After Assistant Xie's explanation, Li Maoye realized how exciting the truck driver was this time. The so-called genius scientist clearly wanted to borrow his character to attract more people to the cinema. After all, the technology tycoons in reality have always been frequent visitors in film and television, such as Einstein often appears in various films.
"Then am I a villain? If you are not a villain, just do whatever you want!" Li Maoye said without any hesitation.
Even if he does not authorize others to use his portrait, the truck driver can have countless ways to bypass relevant laws. The easiest thing is to have an Asian character wearing a big bald head and then wear a big white coat.
"It's not a villain, it's just..." Assistant Xie was a little embarrassed to describe, so he could only pass the script submitted by Fox to Li Maoye to read it himself.
"Well, this image is pretty good! It looks quite caring, and it's still a person who likes cats..."
Li Maoye looked through a few pages and gradually saw the problem: "Wait, this scientist character is a little bit wrong. It looks like a funny character? Am I that funny?"
Assistant Xie doesn't want to answer this question.
In fact, it is not that the character itself is funny, but that it seems a little mentally abnormal, crazy, and has no logic in what it does. It can even be said that he is the promoter of the plot of the film. If it is not for the skin color, I am afraid that the male protagonist of this script will be the Asian scientist.
"Damn!"
When he saw the later part of the script, Li Maoye suddenly discovered that the plot had a big reversal. The character deliberately used his chaotic behavior to confuse Skynet, making it impossible for quantum computers to predict.
If you connect the previous and subsequent behaviors of Asian characters one by one, you will find that Skynet is completely played with by genius scientists in the applause. Everyone originally thought that he was an unreasonable madman with no logic in his work, but the result was a strong man with high IQ that could compete with Skynet.
"This kind of big reversal is so exciting!" Li Maoye praised a few times and finally decided: "Although I am not such a crazy scientist, I like it very much!"
Finally, he decided to authorize the truck driver and filmed according to this script.
In fact, his authorization is just a form. Even if he really doesn't agree, people will still use this script and character to shoot movies. Now with his nod, the movie promotion can be a big deal.
Chapter completed!
