"At seven thirty at night, I have been busy for another day without realizing it."
It cost more than 400,000 yuan of consciousness and scrapped more than 20 model aircraft and a large number of accessories.
When Chen Yi completed building his latest drone, time also changed from day to night.
"Let's have a meal first, and then we'll take you to refuel and test the flight."
Looking at the terrifying properties of this brand new drone, Chen Yi, who stayed up all night last night and had a busy day today, not only did not feel tired, but was energetic and interested, and couldn't wait to take a test flight.
Interests and hobbies.
This is the best teacher and the strongest stimulant.
After graduation, I went to DJI to make screws, and then ran my own model aircraft drone business for more than four years.
Chen Yi has always dreamed that one day he will have a drone that can stand out from the crowd and have all-round powerful performance.
Went to a nearby restaurant and had a simple dinner.
Chen Yi pushed a manual forklift to fork the drone to weigh it, then put it into the trunk and pulled it for refueling.
The new drone has a wingspan of only 1.38 meters, a length of 1.79 meters, and a height of 46.2 centimeters. It is considered small and exquisite among a group of turbojet model aircraft drones. It is more than enough to be stuffed into the trunk.
After adding aviation kerosene and oxidizer, Chen Yi took it to the weighing station again.
"The empty weight is 32.7 kilograms, and when filled with aviation kerosene and oxidizer, it suddenly rises to 214.6 kilograms."
"You are not a drone, you are a fuel barrel wearing a drone skin."
Drive to the seaside park, the old place.
Chen Yi submitted an application for a drone test flight, took out his laptop, and started arranging and debugging the signal antenna, joystick, and rudder.
As a professional low-Earth orbit vehicle that can visit the moon, the avionics software that Chen Yi had previously spent money to customize could no longer meet the needs of avionics flight control.
However, the drone's adjusted and upgraded avionics main control comes with its own avionics flight control software, which can be automatically updated and downloaded when connected.
A few minutes passed and the avionics software was updated.
Chen Yi set the permissions and password and started debugging the drone's function settings.
Communication function is normal.
The radar shooting function is normal.
The lifting and lowering wheel set is normal.
Avionics control signals are normal...
I studied it for more than ten minutes.
Chen Yi had a rough understanding of his brand new drone.
To sum it up in one word, strong!
Take drone radar photography as an example.
After several superposition upgrades, the radar scanning angle has reached an abnormal 289°, with a maximum detection range of 9,000 kilometers.
It can simultaneously lock on 18 basketball targets within 5,000 kilometers and 10 sparrow-sized targets within 1,000 kilometers. It has infrared detection, microwave detection, laser scanning detection and other functions.
The front camera of the fuselage can capture fist-sized holes on the moon's surface when weather conditions permit...
It can be seen that 30 attribute points is a hurdle.
Entering 30 attributes, this is the performance of a real orbiter.
"The flight report has been approved, let's start the test flight!"
The performance of the completely new drone was studied and the flight report was passed.
Chen Yi started the avionics system, released the brakes, and then opened the throttle valve.
boom!
Blue tail flames erupted from the engine nozzle of the model aircraft drone.
The powerful engine thrust pushed the drone out.
"take off!"
Chen Yi pulled the control lever and stepped on the rudder suddenly.
The drone pulled up at a large angle in mid-air, spiraling diagonally upward towards the sea on the left front.
"10% power output..."
Looking at the monitoring screen of the computer next to him, the drone has flown thousands of meters into the sky.
Chen Yi typed twice on the computer and pressed the Enter key.
In the sky on the left, stars seemed to twinkle.
With the help of the clear moonlight, a sonic boom cloud was faintly visible floating slowly in the sky.
Three seconds later, bursts of sonic booms struck from the sky.
These sonic booms have been lost for thousands of meters, and although they are still as loud as thunder, they no longer have the slightest impact.
"The thrust of this engine is...abnormal!"
"Next time, be careful not to increase the power casually when you are not at high altitude, otherwise you may accidentally injure someone."
Looking at the sonic boom clouds slowly floating in the sky, Chen Yi sighed, turned on the low-power detection and shooting functions of the radar, and controlled the drone to fly to the sea outside Penghai City.
Entering the open sea, the radar's low-power detection and shooting functions are turned on.
The drone began to perform subsonic cruising flight at 500 meters above the sea level, constantly passing fishing boats, cargo ships, and even yachts along the way.
The waves roll from time to time and reflect the silhouette of countless moons.
It's just that these moons lasted less than a second and immediately collapsed into pieces of colorful brilliance.
"The ocean at night is still prosperous and beautiful."
"It seems like it would be nice to install a microphone on the drone when I have time to listen to the sound of the sea."
Chen Yi enjoyed the night view of the ocean and continued flying for more than ten minutes.
The drone passed by the Dongsha Islands, left the outer sea of Penghai, and began to enter the range of the Zhongsha Islands in the South China Sea.
The sea here no longer has ships wandering around, but there are a large number of luminous creatures floating in it, dotting the vast waters of the motherland like stars.
From time to time, there are groups of dolphins with constant temperature, chasing fish and shrimps and jumping out of the sea under the moonlight, imprinting beautiful scenes under Chen Yi's lens.
"The frontiers of the motherland have lost the prosperity of modern times and now have the beauty of nature and life."
Chen Yi used a camera with countless megapixels to take photos one after another.
After hovering on the sea and admiring it for dozens of minutes, I stepped on the rudder and pushed the throttle and joystick.
boom!
There was a roar.
A sonic boom cloud appeared out of thin air.
The drone rose up from the sea, turned its nose and flew towards the northeast.
Supersonic for a while.
Soon, a bright city group and a huge island in the ocean appeared in front of the camera.
"We have arrived at Treasure Island, and the battery life is still more than three-fifths. It seems that the new engine is more fuel-efficient."
Chen Yi controlled the drone to take a few photos, and then started heading north to Fuhai and then west along the coastline, preparing to end tonight's test flight.
But the drone has just returned to the land and sea.
Suddenly, there was a beep.
Several red signal points appeared on the computer's monitoring screen.
Um?
Found an aircraft?
Chen Yi was stunned and looked at the parameters displayed on the radar scanning interface.
1.3 meters long, 0.9 meters wide...Flying height 480.
Why does this look like a propeller drone?
But this thing can also go to sea?
Chen Yi glanced at the map next to him and saw that the nearest seaside was more than fifty kilometers away.
According to his understanding of this propeller drone, it was impossible to fly to this position without changing the battery.
So, this drone took off from a ship at sea?
Chen Yi was curious and controlled the drone to drop to a lower altitude, turned on the radar shooting function, and aimed at the sea area below these drones.
With the help of moonlight, two freighters approaching each other were successfully captured by the drone.
Chen Yi looked at the footage and his eyes widened instantly.
What's going on?
Why do the crews of these two cargo ships all have guys with them? !
