As soon as I got home, I heard Qiqi's screams and cries. I took a curious look and found that the kid had already

"Suffering a cruel attack", he was stripped naked by three women in the family and thrown directly into the bathtub. However, as soon as he entered the water, the brat immediately resurrected on the spot.

While attacking the surrounding water,

"Giggle, giggle" and kept laughing... After wiping the water droplets on her face, Zhang Zhen smiled and cursed a few words. She looked up and suddenly saw Li Yuan, "Hey, why are you back so early?"

"I bought some haggis and mutton delicacies." Li Yuan said casually,

"I just met a stubborn old man and had a fight with him."

"Why are we arguing?" Gu Yuqin asked strangely. She was caught off guard and was sprayed in the face by her son.

"Forget it. The old man is already confused. I want a civilian drone, and he just wants to improve its performance. I'm not planning to fight aliens, so why do I need such good performance? The key is cost! Cost

..." During the meal just now, Li Yuan and Peng Guolian broke up unhappy.

The most important thing is that the gap between the two sides' concepts is too big. According to Peng Guolian's inherent thinking, drones are of course military equipment.

In fact... this is either true or not. Civilian drones, including later DJI drones, also have a wide range of military uses.

Of course, there are also professional models of military drones. They are more prominent in the military field, have better performance, and are more expensive.

However, as long as the concept of military use is involved, the money spent will be lost. When the cannon is fired, there will be thousands of gold. This saying is not an exaggeration.

Especially according to the existing technology, that is, the existing theoretical basis and technical reserves in the early 1990s, it is possible to break through what Li Yuan said.

What does that mean? Contrary to what most people understand, the scientific community is not worried about anything - which new peak to climb!

But - there are so many mountains, which one should we climb? To put it bluntly, which technology tree should we click on?

Let’s give a simple example! The GP positioning system. The principle is quite simple. Isn’t it three-point positioning?

By the way, launching satellites is so expensive, why don’t we build positioning stations on the ground? To put it bluntly, the accuracy is at most a few meters or tens of meters off. Anyway, in order to throw a mushroom cloud, what does it matter if it is off by a few dozen meters?

At the beginning, no one could judge the advantages of the satellite positioning system, so they never clicked on this technology tree.

If it hadn't been for the crazy arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War, in order to provide a backup for missile navigation, it might not have appeared at all.

But even so, only Yingjiang had a lot of money and finally got the gp system. But then came the Gulf War.

The whole world was surprised to find out that it can also be used in cruise missiles! And with the opening of civilian signals, they began to frantically click on the rear technology tree - vehicle positioning, personal positioning, electronic maps, driving navigation... In the end,

This has given rise to a huge satellite positioning market.

And clicked on a huge branching technology tree. But in other words, who would know this at the beginning?

In other words, if there was no Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, there might not be any satellite positioning system today. The same is true here.

According to Peng Guolian's idea, all the high-tech sub-projects were arranged to create a crazy, cool and sky-shattering drone.

Anyway, the money spent is not his own or the country's money. Even if Li Yuan is unlucky, he will never feel bad about spending his money.

Li Yuan’s idea was to take the path of DJI. What is the path of DJI? To put it simply, it is to build a flying camera!

Yes! That's right! DJI is just a flying camera, or in other words, a flying camera. It doesn't consider any other functions at all. It only considers how to fly in the air and take good and stable shots. Everything else is just a cloud!

Interestingly, precisely because of its clear goals, DJI has been able to continuously invest in scientific research in this field, that is, it constantly clicks on the technology tree of this category.

And without having to worry about other impacts, costs can be reduced as much as possible in every link, making drones completely cheap.

Of course, the prototype based on the flying camera can be developed with countless functions in the future. You can track Gungun in the dense forest, or you can throw a piece of shit on the head of the girls' dormitory... Anyway, it depends on your own imagination.

However, after hearing Li Yuan's idea, Peng Guolian was not happy - you little brat, either you don't make drones, or you do it well.

Is it necessary to get a broken model airplane for taking pictures? At least consider practicality, such as... ahem, the troops should be very happy anyway.

Li Yuan directly retorted - you old fool. You have already said that it is for civilian use, and what the army thinks is none of my business?

Because the function is simple, at least it is cheap! Let’s just say that the existing technology does not have high-performance batteries, no flight control systems, no satellite navigation, no cameras, and no real-time transmission technology... So it can’t fly a few kilometers, but can it fly a few hundred meters?

?

Without a flight control system, complex flight cannot be achieved? Then fly in a straight line and then fly back in a straight line. Is this possible?

Don’t have satellite navigation? Then use inertial navigation. It’s just a few hundred meters away, so it’s impossible to land very far, right?

Don’t have a digital camera? Then simply install an optical camera and take a photo every few seconds, no matter what it takes.

As for the lack of real-time transmission technology? Isn’t it just to get the film back and develop it? We don’t consider complex environments such as battlefields, extreme weather such as heavy storms, or very complicated remote control flights, let alone other functions of drones.

... Such a drone can be made for 1,000 yuan if large-scale industrial production is achieved.

If you add in the camera, the maximum is 23,000 yuan! And it’s a soft coin! Unsurprisingly, Mr. Peng scoffed - things like yours are useless, who knows what you are taking pictures of?

Do you believe in taking photos? As long as you add this..., add that..., maybe there will be some demand.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li Yuan is also dismissive - to realize your request, the scientific research funding will cost several million, and the manufacturing cost will be at least hundreds of thousands!

And now I only need tens of thousands of dollars! It’s just a matter of integrating existing mature technologies, and even domestic ones can satisfy them all.

The product only costs a few thousand yuan. As long as an individual can afford it, what's the use if you can't afford it?

This is a useless thing! Isn’t a few thousand dollars money? Why is it useless? I think it’s quite fun.

You are such a waste of money! Let me tell you, little soul - no matter what kind of aircraft it is, technical advantages are the most important!

Hey! Do you understand the transformation from quantity to quality? As a reconnaissance battalion, just wait for aerial reconnaissance from the sky! I have several drones in each class here, and don’t they only cost a few thousand dollars each?

Bah! Do you know how to fight? Just wait for the enemy to find out about this piece of shit. And the anti-aircraft gun can knock down several with one shot, so is it useless?

Do you understand? Cheap is king! What will you do if you find out? I can fly hundreds or thousands of planes into the sky at once, how can you fight?

As long as one is missed, our aircraft and artillery will come over. And a civilian factory can produce tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of them?

Even spitting can drown you, an old soul! Hey, my dear, labor and management have traveled more roads than you have eaten. Are you, a little bastard, smarter than all of us?

Old man, the world has changed! You are just stubborn and conservative backward elements! I will reluctantly save you!

Get out! Damn it!... The old man and the young man were quarreling on the spot and their faces turned red. But that didn't stop them from finishing the food and wine.

This is actually a difference in concept. Generally speaking, in every country in the world, including domestic ones, military use is converted into civilian use.

Because the cost of scientific research is too high, the military invests it regardless of cost. Otherwise, the private sector simply cannot afford it.

There is an economic formula here, which I will not explain in detail. But the key lies in the size of the private market.

The simple truth is that if the private market is large, private enterprises will actively invest funds. There is no need for centralized investment from the state.

For example, military toothbrushes and toothpaste? Does the military still need to invest in research and development? Just purchase it from the private sector.

But the toothbrush and toothpaste used by astronauts? Then we have to consider the state of weightlessness, and the country will definitely need to invest resources in research.

But there is a problem here - the economic formula mentioned above is actually an empirical formula. The real market size is the developed countries in Europe and the United States plus Japan and South Korea, plus at most tens of millions of people at the top of third world countries.

However, no one expected that with the addition of weirdos like China, the market of 1.4 billion people here would actually exceed the previous market of more than 1 billion people?

It is obvious that under this huge impact, the previous empirical formulas will be seriously distorted.

What's even more frightening is that China's economic development speed is extremely alarming. It seems that in the blink of an eye, such a behemoth suddenly appeared.

People don’t even have time to react. So why are we introducing these? Here, dual-use military and civilian products like drones, or products that are mainly military, are generally developed by the military.

The private sector simply cannot afford such R&D expenses. Otherwise, just making a model airplane toy? The market would be too narrow.

Unless a certain performance is improved to military level. However, with the entry of the Chinese market, the market size has doubled, and it has suddenly been reduced to the level of toothbrushes and toothpaste?

Instead, it became civilian use first and military use later? Was this the case in the original historical line?

Regardless of the drone project in the laboratory, why did DJI become so popular all over the world seemingly overnight?

As DJI became popular all over the world, seemingly overnight, countless military drone models appeared in various countries?

Of course, there are also factors involved in the rapid development of science and technology. However, the drastic changes in the market have led to a very strange situation of first civilian use and then military use.

In fact, in the process of China's rise, such situations continue to appear. Anyway, it's just a one-stop show of pretentiousness and slap in the face!

This actually means that they have not taken into account the horror of the Chinese market! Did those Westerners make a mistake? According to their past experience, of course they did not make a mistake.

Because it is not cost-effective for any third world country to develop independently. They can only accept high prices honestly.

But they are very unlucky to encounter a monster like China. We have enough market, and it is very cost-effective for us to develop independently!

One person only has a market of more than 1 billion people in his head, while the other is planning to develop a large market of 2.4 billion people?

If the physical education teacher has taught it, a simple calculation can certainly make it a bargain! So how could the old and the young not quarrel?

One is still an old concept - civilian drones have no future. But Li Yuan has long been accustomed to the big market of 2.4 billion - is this market a sea of ​​stars and easy to conquer?

...But having said that, a quarrel is a quarrel, and Mr. Peng is quite reliable as a person. He reluctantly agreed to make...model airplanes.

However, Li Yuan was still aggrieved by the stubborn old man's bad temper and old-fashioned bad attitude. "Mom, Qinqin, tell your conscience, do what I say make sense?" Several women looked at each other, who could tell?

Do you understand this thing?

Now a model aircraft? Now a drone? It's just a man complaining, it's not like I haven't heard it before.

Anyway, men are just docile donkeys, so when the time comes, they can just coax them more.

"Yuanyuan." Zhang Zhen asked cautiously,

"Is that drone of yours a toy for the baby? Isn't that great?"

"Pfft!" Li Yuan almost took a mouthful of old blood. What he just said was in vain. Li Yunyun grinned and said, "Brother! I think it's fun too. When the time comes, fly into the air and take photos. Don't forget to call me.

I'll do it together. But you're shooting from the sky? How should you shoot it?"

"..." Seeing Li Yuan's unhappy expression, Gu Yuqin rolled her eyes and suddenly thought out of sheer urgency, "Mom, Yunyun, help us together quickly, Qiqi should be cleaned up." Hearing another scream and cry, Qiqi stepped out of the bathtub.

He was taken out of his arms and wrapped in a big bath towel.

Several women moved skillfully, wiped Qiqi clean, and finally handed it to Li Yunyun. Li Yunyun hugged Qiqi and ran to the bedroom. Qiqi struggled helplessly, "Wow... Mommy! Mommy, mommy."

..." The whole family was stunned for a moment, and then Zhang Zhen jumped up with joy. "Hey, my dear grandson can talk now? Call someone! Call a few more times."

"Mummy...hemp, ah wu...hemp..."
