Chapter 68
Attack multi-rotor drones are considered black technology equipment with relatively high appearance rates in various games and movies. For example, the "Call of Duty" series of games have appeared many times, and the technology in them is quite mature.
Even the second part of the movie "The Hero of the Rogue" has an attack multi-rotor drone, but it is relatively lo. It just hangs a machine gun under the drone and also has a camera installed.
In general, this kind of equipment belongs to the category of black technology, but the existing technology can already develop the original version, but there is still a considerable generation gap between the drone technology in "Call of Duty".
This kind of drone seems powerful, but in fact, before the technology is fully mature, it has great limitations and belongs to flashy black technology.
"What kind of machine guns are hung under a multi-rotor drone?" Zhang Yi asked.
"Yes, but it seems that the shooting accuracy problem has been solved."
Fanning studied the data in the storage card and introduced: "This kind of drone is equipped with a universal bracket to offset the recoil generated when the weapon fires. In theory, the recoil will not affect the balance of the drone, and the shooting accuracy can be guaranteed."
"Giant bracket?"
Zhang Yi scratched his head and thought to himself what this is?
The major walked to the computer and looked at it a few times, explaining: "This universal bracket adopts the principle of a six-degree of freedom weapon test platform. This is a special equipment used for tank armored vehicles testing. Through six free-action robot legs, the bumps, vibrations, up and downhill driving, swaying left and right in any road environment can be simulated. The weapons installed on the six-degree of freedom platform can remain motionless. After using this technology, no matter which direction the recoil of the gun will cause the drone to be biased, it can be corrected instantly."
"Can you speak Chinese?"
Fanning patted her forehead helplessly: "You understand it as the firearm hanging below when the drone fires will not generate recoil."
"When you say this, it's much easier." Zhang Yi smiled awkwardly, "In terms of today's technology, can this kind of drone be built?"
"Making an attack drone is not a simple matter. Although these drawings can solve the problem of shooting accuracy, there are still many aspects to consider. With these drawings alone, the drone manufactured is not very useful, and manufacturing this is a waste of money."
“What other aspects need to be solved?”
Fanning explained: "The most important thing is battery life, which is very important. If sufficient battery life cannot be guaranteed, the drone must be released at a close range, and the range of use is limited to some special combat missions. According to the design of these drawings, the total weight of this drone is about 10-15 kilograms, and according to the current battery technology, the battery life is no more than 5 minutes."
Hearing this, the major shook his head in disappointment: "If this is the case, it will be useless even if it is made, because the endurance determines that the drone can only be carried with you. Such a big body is not conducive to concealment, second, increase the load, and third, it is easy to be knocked down and has no practical value."
These two people sang and damaged the drone in a decent way, which sounded like they had lost their meaning of existence. However, these shortcomings were not a problem in Zhang Yi's eyes, because he had storage space and could completely release the drone at critical moments and gain air supremacy to a certain extent. This would be a significant advantage.
Perhaps the role of drones in modern planes can be limited, but if Zhang Yi enters the zombie plane or the ancient plane, drones will become a terrifying killer.
"Can you create a drone now?" Zhang Yi asked.
"It's OK, but it takes time and money. After all, the storage card is just a design drawing and there is no experimental data. After the sample is made, it needs to be continuously improved and improved."
Speaking of this, Fanning looked at Zhang Yi strangely: "The technology of this thing is not yet mature and practical. Without the support of the arms company, personal research is a waste of money. According to what you mean, do you want to build one by yourself?"
Zhang Yi nodded: "I have always been concerned about this kind of multi-rotor drone
I'm very interested. Can you and your friends help build a few aircraft? I can provide funds."
"With these drawings, it's not difficult to manufacture, but are you sure you have sufficient funds to make subsequent improvements and improvements?"
Fan Ning looked up and down at Zhang Yi, meaning you are just a security guard...
"Is US$2 million enough? My requirements are not high. As long as you can tell you, you can ensure that the recoil will not affect the accuracy. The battery life can be extended better, and it doesn't matter if it cannot be extended."
"If this is the case, there is no problem at all. Just buy the parts and assemble them. It won't cost much, but you're sure you won't improve it anymore?"
Zhang Yi thought for a while and said with a smile: "If you insist on improving it, I hope to improve the firepower and increase the load capacity. It is best to carry three or five hundred bullets at a time."
"This can only be said to be as good as possible. After all, the weight will be increased with too much bullet, which will seriously affect the battery life. The load capacity set by these drawings is only 100 rounds. However, you can try to optimize the structure of the drone and improve the load capacity and battery life to a certain extent."
Zhang Yi nodded and did not continue to worry about this issue. One hundred bullets sounded not much, but in fact it was enough for multi-rotor drones. After all, the positioning of this equipment is auxiliary, not main attack.
If you want to use drones as your main offensive force, your technology must reach the level of the world of "Call of Duty", and these drawings of Tang Jingheng are still far from that.
Zhang Yi wanted to increase the ammunition load to 00-500 rounds, but he just wanted to try his best to develop in the direction of main attack. After all, his purpose of using drones is to suppress firepower or air support.
It is certainly gratifying to be successful. If it is not successful, Zhang Yi will not force it. At worst, he will go to a plane with higher technological level to find alternatives. There is no need to invest too much money and time in ordinary planes like "The Legend of the Swallows".
After a brief discussion, Fanning contacted her classmates at the IT Institute and began to discuss the issue of manufacturing drones.
Zhang Yi continued to lie on the sofa and stared blankly, but soon he didn't feel so relaxed.
"Hurry and turn on the TV to watch the news!"
Before noon, Wu Yingxiong and Wu Yangfeng walked in quickly, with Owens who was as deep as water behind them.
Owens turned on the TV directly and said coldly: "Chief of Chief of Staff Yi Gongping was regarded as a scapegoat, and the clues of the case were cut off."
