After giving a brief introduction to the relevant background and the basic situation of Zhao Lao's new project R&D team, Luo Kai stopped, then looked at Wu Hao and said: "I left you today, on the one hand, we haven't talked for a long time, so take this opportunity to have a good chat."

On the other hand, I also ask you for Zhao Lao, what do you think of this project.

It stands to reason that this matter can't be asked to you, but Zhao Lao said that you are relatively young and have a lively brain. Moreover, it has achieved very good insights in the field of cluster array control technology, as well as high-speed obstacle avoidance, automatic cruise and AI technology.

So Mr. Zhao also wants me to ask you, what do you think of this project? ”

Wu Hao smiled bitterly when he heard this, and then shook his head. This matter asked him what he was doing, the so-called not in his position and not in his politics, he didn't want to get involved.

"I don't really have a big opinion, because I don't know much about the project, and to be honest, I'm not very interested in it."

"Hehe, I knew you would say that."

Luo Kai tapped him with his finger, and then said angrily: "Don't worry, if you don't want to participate in this project, you can just say it down-to-earth." ”

Wu Hao glanced at Luo Kai, and then shook his head slightly. To be honest, he was a little worried just now, afraid that Luo Kai would take the opportunity to invite him to participate in the research and development process of this project.

He has a bunch of things on his hands right now, and he really can't spare time. But he had a good relationship with Luo Kai and Zhao Lao before, so he refused to do so for fear that it would affect the relationship between the two parties.

At this time, Luo Kai's words made him feel reassured.

But as for how to answer this question, to be honest, Wu Hao didn't think about it well. Because the issue is complicated, and he is not really optimistic. Therefore, I am afraid that speaking out will hurt the confidence of Luo Kai and the entire R&D team.

"Come on, it's just the two of us here, and no one else is there. And I know you kid, too, so it's okay to say anything. Luo Kai saw the hesitation in his heart, and then smiled and comforted.

Seeing this, Wu Hao knew that he couldn't avoid it, so after sorting out his thoughts, he said to Luo Kai: "I'm actually not optimistic about this project. ”

"Hmm." Luo Kai nodded slightly, as if he was not surprised by his answer, and then asked him, "Tell me the reason." ”

"There are three aspects, one is positioning, one is technology, and one is cost." Wu Hao raised three fingers and said, "Only by understanding these three questions can this project be meaningful." ”

"Very thorough!"

Luo Kai praised it, then continued to walk up and said, "Tell me your understanding." ”

Wu Hao followed, and then said to him: "First of all, the most important thing must be positioning, or the goal and R&D direction of this project."

Of course, I know that these fighters are wasted and wasted in this way, but if you want to reuse them, you have to think about it.

Drone? ”

Wu Hao shook his head and said: "Now it is different from the past, now the development of UAV technology in our country belongs to the first echelon in the world, and there are very few who can surpass us."

So why don't we concentrate on new drones, but instead make some innovations on this already outdated platform. ”

"Do you mean that these two models have not kept up with the times?" Luo Kai glanced at him and said.

Wu Hao nodded and responded: "Yes, these two fighters can only be regarded as second-generation fighters, not to mention their overall combat performance, but they are a big step behind in terms of fly-by-wire system and dynamic perception capabilities."

If you innovate on such a backward platform, where else can you go, you just apply 20's technology to it.

Going back to the question we talked about in the first place, what is its positioning? UAVs, no matter how they are transformed, are definitely not as good as our existing UAV series.

Suicide attack drones? Its size is huge, and its agility and performance are certainly not comparable to our cruise missiles.

Speaking of which, we have to talk about the cost, if the cost of a transformation of such a fighter is greater than the cost of a drone or a cruise missile, then does its transformation still make sense? ”

"You're right, and that's what a lot of experts talk about before the project is established. But do you know why this project was approved in the end? Luo Kai asked at Wu Hao.

Wu Hao shook his head when he heard this, although he had a few guesses, he didn't speak, but waited for the other party's answer.

Luo Kai said to him: "Strategic needs, to put it bluntly, are strategic reserves.

In the event of a large-scale war, our existing weapons and equipment are likely to be exhausted within a few weeks.

And factories and logistics support facilities will definitely be regarded as the primary target by the other side. So at this point, we have to activate the reserve force.

These weapons and equipment are not advanced enough, but they often play a decisive role in the most critical time. ”

"So it's a hole card." Wu Hao said thoughtfully.

Luo Kai shook his head, and then said confidently at Wu Hao: "No, we want to make them a trump card!" ”

Wu Hao's body shook, and then he glanced at Luo Kai deeply. What did he say about Zhao Lao's question, but now it seems that he asked it himself. In this way, Luo Kai is also involved in this project.

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and said, "In that case, let's put aside the first question and the third question and only talk about the technical aspects.

From a technical point of view, it is possible to modernize the equipment of these fighters, but the combat power of the fighters will not be greatly improved.

Therefore, I think we should abandon the transformation of the whole aircraft, and focus on the transformation of dynamic perception and flight control system.

In other words, directly focus on the modification of the cockpit. ”

"Cockpit remodeling?" Luo Kai wondered.

"Yes, a cockpit remodel." Wu Hao nodded and said: "Since it is an unmanned transformation, the original function of the cockpit is useless." This leaves us with a lot of space and load, and the entire control system of the aircraft is also concentrated in the cockpit, which is more suitable for our retrofit.

In this way, we can make the most of it with the least changes and the lowest cost. ”

"What you mean is to replace the pilot with advanced electronics to control the aircraft, and to transform the entire cockpit into an intelligent flight control center." Luo Kai's eyes lit up, and a smile instantly appeared.

"Well, that's basically what it means, but it's not comprehensive." Wu Hao hesitated.

But Luo Kai didn't care about this, and then grabbed Wu Hao's hand and said excitedly: "Come, you tell me carefully what you think in your head." ”

As he spoke, he took out the small ancestral notebook he was carrying, took out his pen and looked at Wu Hao, and then showed an expectant look.

Wu Hao......
