The Immortal Warrior: From Reverse Engineering to Forging Swords for the Country

Chapter 184 Weapon System for the Future [Please subscribe and ask for data! 】

Zhang Zhipeng smiled slightly and said: "My idea is to use small drones and traversing aircraft as reconnaissance and strike weapons!"

"A high-performance small drone only costs up to 155 yuan, which is the price of a few rounds of artillery shells, but it can achieve the purpose of precise strikes!"

"Able to carry out initiation strikes against armored vehicles and tanks!"

"Able to accurately attack the enemy's strong fortifications and fortresses!"

"Comrade Yunfeng, do you think this is a better offensive weapon for the army?"

Zhang Zhipeng traveled back in time from the 21s of the 20st century. In the war at that time, drones were truly brilliant!
A small drone carrying a few kilograms of high-explosive bombs can destroy a tank worth millions of dollars. This is a common thing on the battlefield!
That’s why Zhang Zhipeng mentioned drones. He also felt that the development of drones should start from now on.

Moreover, there is almost no technical difficulty in manufacturing drones in China.

High-quality chips and sensors are already cheap.

Flight control has also developed very mature and advanced.

Now, we actually need an opportunity to start mass production and promotion of drones in China.

Now, since the Army is asking for help.

Zhang Zhipeng felt that the opportunity had come.

Of course, drones cannot replace cannons.

Heavy firepower such as 155-inch truck guns and long-range rockets definitely need to be developed more intensively.

There are also new types of tanks and combat vehicles, which are absolutely indispensable!

However, Zhang Zhipeng still feels that in the future battlefield, none of the above equipment is more important than drones.

Equipping the army with drones can cultivate new war ideas and develop asymmetric warfare.

Li Yunfeng was a little confused as to what Zhang Zhipeng meant.

Of course he knows what a drone is.

But the drone he understood was a large fixed-wing drone.

Nowadays, China's large unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, such as the Undetected Seven, are already very advanced.

The Wuzhen-7, developed on the basis of the Wuzhen-, can fly in a radius of more than kilometers, covering the entire Asia-Pacific, so there is no problem at all!

Li Yunfeng thought: Equip a large number of those drones to the army? Something's not quite right, right?
Most of the things like No Detective Seven belong to the Air Force, and the Navy also has a little bit of them.

"Oh, I, I still don't quite understand what you said..."

"Am I a little too stupid..."

"Comrade Zhipeng, are you saying that you want to hand over the drones belonging to the Air Force to our Army?"

"Then their air force will definitely not agree!"

Li Yunfeng scratched his head and said.

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and shook his head and said, "Comrade Yunfeng, you may have misunderstood."

"What I want to build is a small drone that can be controlled remotely by a single person using a control panel."

Zhang Zhipeng knew that if he said it with his mouth, the other party might still not understand.

So, he took a piece of paper and began to draw the four-axis multi-rotor drone from his previous life on the paper.

This kind of drone uses batteries or a small single-cylinder motorcycle engine as a power plant.

A high-definition camera can be installed on it.

This allows reconnaissance of the ground.

If a target is discovered during reconnaissance, it can also carry small high-explosive bombs for direct attack.

Whether it is a tank or an armored vehicle, there are two most vulnerable places, one is the track, and the other is the roof.

Initiation attack, a small armor-piercing bomb can destroy a tank with a metal jet.

Zhang Zhipeng explained to Li Yunfeng very seriously.

Li Yunfeng and Guo Zaijie both became more energetic the more they listened.

They naturally understood Zhang Zhipeng's explanation.

A small multi-rotor drone can fly dozens of kilometers away, conduct reconnaissance from the air, and then transmit the reconnaissance footage back to the rear in a timely manner?

If this could really be achieved, there would be no need to dispatch scouts to take risks on the ground!

If there is a large-scale war, a drone flying in the sky can have a clear view of the entire battlefield!
In this case, the enemy's various arrangements cannot be hidden!

Li Yunfeng rubbed his hands and said, "Comrade Zhipeng, after hearing what you said, I think this drone is really easy to use!"

"I don't know, is this thing easy to develop?"

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "This thing is very easy to do!"

"How about I help you design and develop a series of drones first, so that you can experience the joy of using drones to fight wars?"

Li Yunfeng nodded quickly and said, "Okay, okay! When can this thing be built?"

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "I will help you build it in a month and a half at most!"

"When the time comes, we can try it out, haha!"

"I guarantee you will be satisfied with its effect!"

Li Yunfeng also laughed heartily: "Comrade Zhipeng, I can't wait now! Haha!"

Zhang Zhipeng smiled slightly and said, "I will help you get it done after the Spring Festival!"

"As for the army, it is indeed time to upgrade its equipment!"

When Li Yunfeng heard these words, he was very excited.

He smiled and said: "When I hear this sentence, it makes me feel mixed emotions!"

"Then I look forward to your results!"

"Millions of comrades in the army are watching you with eager eyes!"

……

After talking to Li Yunfeng, Li Yunfeng was very satisfied.

Later, Guo Zaijie, as the newly appointed director of the Science and Technology Commission, also had an in-depth talk with Zhang Zhipeng.

The main theme discussed by the two people was: What are the imbalances in the current development of China's military equipment.

After a discussion between the two of them, they discovered that there were actually quite a lot of areas that needed to be made up for!
The navy's large main battleships have to keep making dumplings!
The Air Force must also speed up the research and development of more advanced early warning aircraft, electric combat aircraft, aerial tankers and other supporting aircraft.

Domestic third-generation J-10 aircraft have now begun to be equipped with troops on a large scale.

But we still need to continue to develop heavy fighter jets and advanced stealth fighters!
In addition, strategic bombers are also a shortcoming of China.

The combat radius of Lao Mo and Da Mao's strategic bombers can reach 7 kilometers.

But in this area, strictly speaking, China does not even have a true strategic bomber.

The best bomber now is actually the H-6, which has a combat radius of only more than 2,000 kilometers. Do you dare to think about this?

The gap is really a bit too big.

In addition, as for the army, its weapons and equipment are now quite backward.

The Army's main battle tanks, artillery and other weapons and equipment are in urgent need of modernization.

Guo Zaijie exclaimed: "Comrade Zhipeng, this is a qualitative leap you have helped the country's military industry make in the past few years!"

"If this were not the case, we would probably owe more!"

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "We don't need to be too anxious."

"Actually, the speed and quality of our pursuit are quite good now!"

"Eat the food one bite at a time and walk the road step by step! I believe that in another ten years or so, we will suddenly realize: Ha! We have reached the top of the world! Haha!"

Guo Zaijie nodded with a smile and said, "You're right! We still need to stay calm!"

……

In early February 1997, Zhang Zhipeng returned to Chang'an to celebrate the New Year.

His son Zhang Huaxing is already a little over two and a half years old.

Although Xiao Guoguo and his father have always been together less and less often, and they don't see each other many times a year. However, what makes Zhang Zhipeng happy is that his son does not get angry when he sees him, but will take the initiative to run to him. He came forward and let him hold her.

This made him very happy.

Xiao Guoguo loves to talk very much, and her speech is clear and organized.

At just over two years old, he can already recite dozens of ancient poems.

Zhao Min smiled and said to Zhang Zhipeng: "Zhipeng, I think our son must have inherited your high IQ. He is really smart. He has a small mouth and speaks with a bit of cleverness."

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "This also makes me relieved! In fact, I have always been a little worried..."

Zhao Min asked curiously: "What are you worried about?"

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "All the good luck ran out on both of us, and then our son disappeared from everyone."

Zhao Min chuckled and said, "How could it be?"

"What I worried about before was that my son will inherit all my IQ, because people say that a son mainly inherits his mother's IQ! I think I am a bit stupid, and if my son looks like me, it will be troublesome."

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "How can you be stupid? Comrade Zhao Min, you are too humble, haha!"

The two were talking. Little Guoguo, who was being held by Zhang Zhipeng, looked at her mother and her father for a while, and suddenly said: "Dad, I like listening to you two talking. Now, I feel very happy!"

His son's words almost broke Zhang Zhipeng's defense.

He felt that his son was tactfully blaming him for spending less time with him.

Although Zhang Zhipeng said he was going back to Chang'an to celebrate the New Year, he still couldn't be too leisurely.

Because, he needs to be in charge of the affairs of Huaxing Group and Loongson Company!

He can ignore small things, but he must review and approve major company matters.

Huaxing Automobile originally planned to launch mass production in March 1997.

However, driven by a hard-working man like Yu Chengdong, Huaxing Automobile started large-scale mass production in January 1997 and began delivering to users across the country.

By around January 1997, 1, a total of nearly 20 Huaxing cars had been delivered across the country.

These delivery figures are quite impressive.

Huaxing cars can already be seen driving on highways across the country.

Moreover, the user's driving experience is quite good, and the feedback is all positive.

Because the Chinese New Year is approaching, people are starting to choose to go home.

After returning home, I will definitely attend various parties and so on.

If there is a gathering, there will inevitably be all kinds of comparisons.

Comparing whose car is better is simply a reserved item.

Zhang Zhipeng saw a piece of news in Chang'an Daily.

It is said that in the Beijing area, a man named Wu Yingxin bought a Hongqi car worth more than one million yuan. He mentioned his car on January 1th, and on January 16th he drove his car to a business reception.

Naturally, many bosses came to this cocktail party.

Many of these bosses drive luxury cars such as Benz S-Class, BMW 7 Series, and even Ferraris and Lamborghinis.

Chinese people who do business love to put on a front.

Wu Yingxin drove such a domestic million-dollar luxury car to the reception, because this car is so beautiful, it is also bulletproof, and its various configurations are much higher than other luxury cars. Therefore, he became the center of attention.

Some other luxury car owners are not happy.

They think that the car I drive is an international brand luxury car and is more expensive than your car. Why are you stealing the limelight?

Some people began to ridicule Wu Yingxin, saying that he spent so much money to buy a domestic car, which was simply taken advantage of.

Wu Yingxin would naturally retort.

The two sides quarreled for a while, and then they started competing to see whose car was really awesome.

Wu Yingxin asked someone to get a sledgehammer and smashed his Hongqi sedan more than a dozen times, and then asked the person who was mocking him to hit his car a few times as well.

The man immediately became frightened.

However, I still insist on saying that the car is for driving, why does it have to be so strong?

Wu Yingxin asked him if he wanted to compare the performance of the car?

Whether it's racing a car or being stronger than a car, he will always be there for you.

So, a Ferrari owner competed with him for speed. As a result, Wu Yingxin drove his Hongqi car and beat the Ferrari during the race.

Later, another Benz S-Class sedan wanted to compete with his Hongqi.

The car then began a tug-of-war with the tow rope.

As a result, the Hongqi sedan dragged the Benz S-Class several hundred meters away, and the tires were so worn that they were smoking and about to catch fire.

Hongqi sedan became famous in this event!

It can be said that it shocked the entire capital, and was subsequently reported by the media and spread throughout the country.

This is a PK between Hongqi sedan and other luxury cars.

In fact, owners of Huaxing sedans have engaged in various competitions with other imported cars in various road conditions.

The powerful performance of Huaxing Automobile quickly formed a huge word-of-mouth effect.

As a result, during the Chinese New Year, Huaxing Automobile received a large number of car reservations at its 4S stores across the country.

Since January 1th, as many as two to three thousand or even five to six thousand car owners have paid deposits every day!
Hongqi sedan has also ushered in the peak period for ordering cars, with orders for up to three to four hundred cars being placed every day. This is quite an achievement for a luxury car that starts at 50 yuan.

After Zhang Zhipeng saw the news about Wu Yingxin, he thought it was very meaningful. He sent someone to see Wu Yingxin and gave him a gas ticket worth 10,000 yuan. He also hired Wu Yingxin as a publicity ambassador for the Beijing area.

Naturally, this matter was hyped by the media for another two or three days.

Huaxing Automobile became a hot topic during the 1997 Spring Festival.

Hongqi cars have become a status symbol for those people who got rich first in China. Good guy, there is almost a rush to buy them.

In more than ten days, the national orders for Hongqi cars have accumulated to more than 5000 units!

The average unit price of a car has reached 80!
This is really an incredible achievement.

The cooperation between Huaxing Group and Benz is also proceeding smoothly.

The first batch of Benz vehicles equipped with Huaxing intelligent vehicle system began to be sold in the North American market.

This batch of cars caused a sensation after they appeared in Benz's major car showrooms in North America.

Many people come here to experience it.

The original lowest price of the Benz sedan was 3.8 dollars. After adding a smart car, the price soared to 5 dollars!

But even so, it can't stop the people who are crazy about booking cars.

Cars of the same grade as the footbath instantly become unsatisfactory.

Benz Motors has ordered more than 7 luxury cars of various models in North America in just one month.

This is a huge improvement!
You know, before that, the number of orders for Benz cars in the North American market was only 20,000 to 30,000 vehicles per month.

With their strong marketing capabilities, footbaby cars are quickly taking away Benz's market share even among luxury car brands.

Leo, the president of Benz, was extremely happy.

He immediately began to promote intelligent Benz cars in various markets around the world.

This also puts huge market pressure on footbath people.

In one month, Fengtian Automobile's global sales dropped sharply by 8%!
Fengtian Auto panicked.

On the eve of the Chinese New Year in 1997, on the th day of the twelfth lunar month, Fengtian Changlang, the president of Fengtian, came to Huaxing Group in person and asked to see Zhang Zhipeng, hoping to obtain Huaxing's intelligent vehicle system.

However, Zhang Zhipeng naturally didn't see him at all.

Why meet him?

Isn't that a pure waste of time?

The rejection of Fengtian Changlang's request for an interview began to spread rapidly in the country as a piece of gossip, and some media also made relevant reports.

The media on the Lizard side made more reports on Fengtian Changlang's request to meet Zhang Zhipeng and hope to cooperate with Zhang Zhipeng.

Fengtian Changlang was rejected at the gate of Huaxing Group, and the photo of him looking disappointed was widely circulated.

This has plunged the entire lizard automobile industry into a kind of carnival.

After all, the foot basin is just an anomaly in Lizufang's eyes.

No white person would really regard them as their own kind.

The failure of the footbath car must be the victory of the lizard car.

This is the sorrow of the footbath.

During this Spring Festival, Zhang Zhipeng only rested for two or three days.

After the second day of the Lunar New Year, he began to form his own drone research and development research team at NPU.

This research group will of course involve Zheng Jingzhi and other key teachers and doctoral students from the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics.

The Department of Aircraft Engineering has now been upgraded.

It was officially upgraded to an aviation academy in 1996.

It also integrates almost all aircraft-related majors in NPU.

Aviation, officially becoming the school’s most powerful college.

Of course, NPU has now become a top-notch university across the country.

It ranks first in science and engineering in the country, pushing Qingbei to the bottom.

It has the highest funding for running a school.

It also attracts top-notch talent.

Its graduates are welcomed by major institutions across the country.

In short, NPU is very prosperous now.

Some people may say that it doesn’t take so much effort and gathering so many experts to build a small four-axis drone, right?
If you just build an ordinary four-axis rotor drone, it will naturally be a piece of cake for Zhang Zhipeng.

However, Zhang Zhipeng does not just want to develop four-axis rotor drones. He also wants to develop loitering bombs, suicide drones, and small fixed-wing drones suitable for the army.

He also wants to develop a micro-individual drone, which is only as big as a palm in his vision. Soldiers operating on the front line can release it to detect the situation on the battlefield to take further actions and accurately defeat the enemy.

In short, Zhang Zhipeng wants to develop a series of drones.

He feels that developing drones is not just for military purposes.

We still have to consider civilian use.

Only through the integration of military and civilian sectors can we generate greater production capacity and feed back the development of the military industry.

Only when the civilian market is large enough can the quality of military products be guaranteed and the prices low enough.

In his previous life, why did Lao Mo's military products become more and more expensive?

It is not because its industrial capacity is declining significantly and the hollowing out of its industry has intensified, which has led to a sharp increase in its military production costs.

In the end, it was difficult to even guarantee the production of artillery shells.

Therefore, we must learn from the old mistakes and use a huge civilian market to support military production capabilities.

There is actually a huge market for drones.

In the previous life, in the early 21s, the size of the global drone market could reach one to two hundred billion coins.

The Chinese market has given birth to world-class drone companies.

Zhang Zhipeng feels that he must make arrangements in advance now.

Zhang Zhipeng told Zheng Jingzhi his thoughts.

Zheng Jingzhi nodded repeatedly and said, "Zhipeng, your idea is really good!"

"Inexpensive small drones really seem to have the potential to change the battlefield of the future."

"Nothing to say, let's start working!"

"Strive to develop useful drones as soon as possible."

Zhang Zhipeng explained and shared the drone process plan he designed with the project team members.

The core components of a drone include the following parts: fuselage, sensors, power supply system, flight control system, and communication system.

The design of the fuselage actually requires various verifications. It provides the structural support and load carrying capacity of the drone. It must also consider issues such as flight stability, maneuverability, and load requirements.

The fuselage design seems simple, but it also requires a lot of exploration and practice.

Back in the early 90s, it was still quite difficult for Zhang Zhipeng to build a four-axis rotor drone.

But now, with the development of China's chip technology, the design and manufacturing of drones has become easier.

Let’s talk about the sensors on the drone, which are also the core components of the drone.

These sensors include vision sensors CMOS or CCD; they are mainly used for taking pictures or videos.

In addition to visual sensors, there are also infrared sensors, radar sensors, etc. These are for navigation, obstacle avoidance, target recognition, etc.

The third power system includes the battery and the engine. The battery provides electrical energy to the drone and the engine provides power.

The flight control system is the brain of the drone.

The flight control consists of a motherboard, gyroscope, accelerometer, compass, etc. The flight control system is the main part of achieving UAV flight.

The communication system is used for data transmission and command interaction between the drone and ground control.

There are also many ways of communication systems. It can transmit by radio and satellite, thus realizing remote control and data transmission of UAV.

Of course, the ground control system is also a very important component of the overall UAV system.

Zhang Zhipeng has done in-depth and detailed overall design of these systems. In addition, he has actually done a lot of similar work before and has achieved rich results. Therefore, after the project team started working, the speed was quite fast.
