After returning to Anxi, Wu Hao originally gave Yang Fan a week's leave to take a good rest. Unexpectedly, this guy came to the company full of energy the next day, found him, and asked enthusiastically what the project was.
Wu Hao led him to the cluster array control technology research and development laboratory on the third floor, while smiling at him and said: "Remember when you were in Yangcheng, in order to stop the intruding drone, you controlled your own A flying drone (a drone racing drone with a speed of 120k/h or 20k/h, or even faster) will crash into the drone that eventually fell into the river."
"Boss, do you still remember this?" Yang Fan was a little surprised when he heard this. It has been almost a year since this happened, but Wu Hao didn't expect that Wu Hao would still remember it, which made him a little moved.
In fact, what often moves us is not all the spectacular things, but certain moments of certain things, which may be a sentence or a picture.
"Of course you have to remember, I said I would give you a better one." Wu Hao said with a smile.
Seeing this, Yang Fan shook his head and said, "No need, boss, I can just make another one myself."
"Then you can do it yourself. I have prepared everything for you." Wu Hao gestured to the things on the table in the middle of the laboratory and said with a smile.
"So many time travel machines!"
Yang Fan followed his gaze and found that there were many black time-travel machines the size of an adult's palm placed on the test bench in the middle, probably dozens of them. In some surrounding research areas, there are also various traversing machines placed, and there are even several technicians conducting tests.
"Mr. Wu!"
At this time, a young man in his mid-twenties came over. When he saw Yang Fan, he said excitedly: "Mr. Yang, you came to the company so soon."
The person who spoke was Zhou Yonghui, who was also a member of the Yangcheng team at the time. While Yang Fan was in Hangzhou, Wu Hao asked him to temporarily lead the experimental team of cluster array control technology.
As for Mr. Yang in Zhou Yonghui's mouth, he is actually not talking about the general manager but the director, the technical director of the laboratory.
Of course he is the deputy, and the chief is Wu Hao, who is in charge of the laboratory himself. Like Yang Fan, there is Zou Xiaodong, who now also bears the title of deputy director.
In fact, it is just a sign to facilitate the work of these two people.
Yang Fan nodded, then looked at the busy technicians and said excitedly to Wu Hao: "Boss, is this the experimental project you mentioned?"
"How's it going? Are you satisfied?" Wu Hao asked him with a smile.
"Satisfied, I'm so satisfied."
Yang Fan grinned from ear to ear and quickly stepped forward to pick up a time-travel machine and start looking at it.
"Is this different from our usual shuttle structure?"
Yang Fan looked at several drones repeatedly, then turned to Wu Hao and said, "Boss, you haven't said what kind of project this is yet."
"Sweeper!"
Wu Hao smiled and turned on the big TV screen, only to see a picture appear on the screen. On the picture, there were many swarms of drones chasing the fleeing soldiers.
At the top of the picture are several bold letters full of cracks, "Battlefield Sweeper!"
Seeing this photo, Yang Fan finally understood what these drones were used for. But when he thought of this, he became confused again.
"Boss, I don't understand. This seems to be no different from the drone swarm attack technology we developed at the Air Force Equipment Research Institute."
"There is no difference." Wu Hao nodded and said: "It's just that the combat objects and purposes are different. The 'Crazy Bee' drone swarm attack system faces those large weapons and equipment in large battles. , such as air defense positions, artillery, missile launchers, vehicles, important buildings, etc."
"Our battlefield sweeper is also called a battlefield cluster precision strike system. The targets it faces are mainly infantry, machine gunners, mortar positions, sniper teams, and light vehicles in enemy defensive positions or bunkers. Such small targets. It is mainly used to deal with enemies hiding in complex terrain in urban combat or jungle combat.
According to traditional offensive tactics, large-scale firepower coverage needs to be carried out first, and then light ground troops are sent in to clean up the remaining enemy forces.
But this will face a problem. It is difficult for heavy firepower to destroy all the enemies hiding in these buildings and ruins, as well as in the jungle.
As for large equipment such as armored protective vehicles, it is difficult to enter such a narrow environment to fight, and it is also difficult to exert its combat effectiveness.
Therefore, it is necessary to send infantry to gradually clean up and eliminate the remaining enemy forces.
You know, street fighting and close-range jungle combat are very brutal. Once our infantry enters the sweep, it will be easy to be ambushed and fired upon by the opponent.
At this time, the forces of the enemy and ourselves are mixed together, and fire support will be difficult to provide. With this terrain advantage, these enemies are likely to deal with our soldiers in these complex terrains, thereby dragging us down and defeating us.
The casualties in such battles are often very heavy. We can also see such examples from the previous wars of the US Army. "
Wu Hao paused for a moment, then picked up a time-travel machine and continued to introduce.
"This battlefield cleaner was specially developed to deal with such situations. Its weight and volume are very light, more than ten times lighter than conventional rocket launchers and anti-tank missiles. Soldiers can carry it with them. Or it can be installed on a light vehicle.
When necessary, you can launch one or a group at a time, or a group of them to fight.
When soldiers encounter such terrain and battles, they only need to control the launch, and then these drones will form teams or divide work to conduct reconnaissance of the target area and attack potential targets. "
"The speed of the traversing machine is very fast, and it is more suitable to use it for reconnaissance and attack. However, because of its high speed, it is difficult to control it.
Moreover, the battlefield environment is very complex, especially dense forests and ruins. It is really difficult for the traversing aircraft to avoid these obstacles when flying at high speed.
It's really difficult to control unless you're a well-trained operator. "After Yang Fan heard his explanation, he immediately raised his question.
Wu Hao smiled and said: "So, this problem requires your wisdom to solve it.
You are the one among us who is quite good at flying drones, which are high-speed drones, so I made a special trip to Hangzhou this time to bring you back to take charge of this project. "
After hearing his words, Yang Fan frowned as he stared at the traversing machine. After thinking for a long time, he raised his head and said to Wu Hao: "I don't have much confidence in this aspect. I can only say that I will try my best."
