Chapter 52: The task is heavy
Sure enough, Wu Hao and they finally won the bid with this set of plans. While the other bidders complained about it, they all lost their voices after seeing their demo video.
Compared to their scheme, as well as the technical and performance effects of the demonstration, their scheme is simply not up to scratch.
Everyone is doing research on drone technology, and the domestic circle is not small, but it is not big. So naturally, I know that Wu Hao and his previous show in Hangzhou are very sorry that Dajiang can cooperate with Wu Hao.
But it's right to think about it, why did Wu Hao ignore it in a good industry leader, and had to cooperate with them.
Of course, Wu Hao's plan is not without shortcomings, and one of the biggest shortcomings is that the leaders discuss the most in terms of price.
This time, Dajiang gave an offer of 1200 million [Note 1], which really gave the leaders a toothache. Sure enough, good things are not cheap, although this set of solutions works well, but it is really too expensive.
However, in the end, the big boss still agreed, compared with the expensive price of 120 million, if you can further expand the influence of Yangcheng through this performance and show the world the new image of Yangcheng, it will definitely be a profitable business.
More importantly, this 10,000 drone swarm performance will create an unprecedented new record, which will also show the strength of Yangcheng as a science and technology capital. It also shows the world our country's strong scientific and technological strength, which is particularly rare in the current period.
After the bid was successful, Wu Hao and the others immediately began to get busy, because the time left for them was really limited. 10,000 UAVs, ultra-large cluster formations, ultra-dense arrays, in a complex environment, to achieve a wonderful performance of 25 minutes, this will undoubtedly be a huge project.
The first is drones, and the previous 4,000 performance drones basically emptied all of Oe's inventory. So after winning the order, Sun Shaoyang immediately began to coordinate the production of the remaining more than 6,000 UAVs.
The production and manufacturing of these drones alone takes more than half a month to work overtime. In addition, in order to realize the network interconnection of 10,000 UAVs and be responsible for attitude control, it is necessary to upgrade the hardware in the UAV.
The new more than 6,000 drones can be carried out in the factory, and the original more than 4,000 drones need to be upgraded by themselves, which also takes a lot of time.
After that, it is to enter the long actual machine test link, not only the network test, but also the system operation test, stress test, anti-interference test and so on.
It's not that you can go straight to the show with a drone carrying system, which requires thorough preparation in the early stage.
You know, when you're performing, you're facing millions of people across the city, and you're dealing with a lot of media and a lot of people watching through the media.
If there is a little accident in this performance, it will be a big deal. At the current rate and coverage of the Internet, there is simply no chance of remediation. This requires them to be 100% sure that this performance is foolproof, and the pressure can be imagined.
Therefore, experts and leaders are also hesitant to determine whether to determine their bold plan. In the end, the big boss took the risk and agreed, he saw confidence in the eyes of Wu Hao and his young people, and he also wanted to give these young people a chance to show themselves.
Whether it is Wu Hao or Sun Shaoyang, they naturally know that this opportunity is precious, so they also go all out to complete this performance perfectly.
For this reason, throughout July and August, Wu Hao led the team to stay in Yangcheng. The team led by Sun Shaoyang has carried out countless tests and optimization modifications on the entire UAV fleet and the entire 'Tianyi' system to achieve an ideal state.
With the support of the team led by Sun Shaoyang in UAV hardware, with sufficient funds and excellent conditions, Wu Hao has also made very bold innovative modifications to the system program.
It can be said that the new 'Tianyi' system is not a little bit higher than the original 'Tianyi' system, and the cluster control ability in the fixed field is not a little higher.
During this period, he only left once, and it was a technical seminar held by Ali on the new company's upcoming new project 'intelligent logistics warehousing'.
The project itself was led by Zou Xiaodong, but this was the first technical seminar, and Zou Xiaodong's weight was not enough, so he had to come forward to participate.
On the other hand, although Zou Xiaodong is very familiar with this set of technology and system procedures, he is only exposed to the application of this system, and he does not understand the real core technology.
So many times, there are some problems involving core technology, and Zou Xiaodong has to ask Wu Hao for help remotely in real time.
Ali attaches great importance to this project, and directly provided them with a new automated logistics warehouse in the Hangzhou logistics base for research and upgrading.
There is such an automated logistics warehouse in the county, which is naturally very helpful for them to develop a new intelligent logistics system. Many of their ideas and technologies can be tested and validated in the actual process in this automated logistics warehouse.
It's just that Ali also has requirements that they must complete the relevant testing work before this year's Double 11 shopping festival. If it is not completed, the automated warehouse will be restored to its original appearance before this time, and it must not affect its logistics and transshipment work after the shopping festival.
In other words, the time left for their joint R&D team this year is very limited, and if there is no money at this point, then they will have to wait for a long time.
It was not until the second year that the pressure of logistics and transportation was reduced that the joint R&D team could re-obtain the automated warehouse for testing.
In addition to this, there is also a project of the Beijing Air Force Equipment Research Institute. Although he was very busy during this time, he never broke off the contact with Zhao Lao and their research team.
He is also expected to make general progress until mid-to-late September, and it is expected that the outdoor flight test of the drone swarm will be carried out.
He also had to participate in a series of tests before that until the actual test was completed.
That is to say, between now and the Lunar New Year, he does not have any time to rest, and is basically spinning on the wheel.
[Note 1: This price is not fabricated at will, but has actual case references.] According to the previous announcement of the transaction of the XA City Wall Thousand Drone Light and Shadow Show Project, the cost of 1,374 drone performances was as high as 10.5 million.
The larger the scale of the drone, the more difficult the technology required, so the higher the cost. Therefore, the price of 10,000 1200 million is not expensive. 】
