Xie Kai's words made Zhao Xi excited.

Drones that can take off and land flexibly and have more functions are the dream of every drone designer.

"How much funding are you providing here? What are the requirements for project technical indicators?" Zhao Xi asked Xie Kai and the others.

"Will you discuss it again?" Zheng Yucheng looked at Xie Kai worriedly.

He also said that he was doing projects, wasn’t he doing this?

Zheng Yucheng does not think that the drone project proposed by Xie Kai will be much cheaper than the large aircraft project.

"We really need to study the specific performance indicators and demonstrate the feasibility of the technology." Xie Kai did not directly put forward his own ideas, whether it is the rq-4a/b "Global Hawk" drone used for long-range and strategic reconnaissance; or the mq-1 "Preater" series drone used for "integrated detection and attack" on the battlefield; China has corresponding models.

Xianglong, Winglong ii, and Rainbow series are all top drones in China.

These unmanned combat reconnaissance aircraft based on the concept of information combat are now directly putting forward performance requirements, which is difficult for people who do not know about information combat to accept it; it is also difficult to break through the technical difficulty.

To build drones, you must develop in this direction.

Be able to integrate existing domestic technologies and not invest too much to obtain technical results. You will not let the entire project fall into trouble because the project is too difficult.

There are still problems with the automatic driving system of Yunshi, and it is indeed difficult to engage in top drones for information combat now.

The Beidou has not yet entered the sky, and the most important satellite signal transmission network has not been established, which limits the emergence of drones such as Xianglong and Winglong in this era.

Even if Xie Kai knows the specific performance and parameters, it is impossible for drones in the information combat era to appear twenty years ahead of schedule in this era.

The Gulf War, which completely shocked the military, will be several years before it breaks out.

That war changed the direction of military construction around the world, and the torrent of the Soviet Union's steel will never make people tremble again.

"In the early stage, we can unmanned modifications and remote controls of backward fighter jets such as J-5 or J-6." Xie Kai put forward his own idea. "We will choose a group of technicians from various fields to cooperate with you."

How to implement it specifically is what Zhao Xi and his team need to do.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, we will cultivate the 404 Base’s own drone R&D team.

In the 1990s, this modification was completed by Zhao Xi's team, ten years ahead of schedule, and the problem should not be too big.

"We will study and study." Zhao Xi had long had an idea about the transformation of retired fighter jets into drones, and had never had the opportunity to implement them. Xie Kai proposed this exactly in line with his intention, "What are you going to deal with these three target aircraft at present?"

Zhao Xi came here just to deal with the three target machines.

Two million funds are a huge amount for them.

"You will take away the target machine. As for the funds, we will think that we have contributed to the domestic target machine industry." Zheng Yuzheng saw Xie Kai looking at him, and even though he was extremely reluctant, he had to speak.

More than one million, it's gone.

"I really have to thank you. Our project superiors have always attached great importance to it, but the funding has always been short of money." Zhao Xi was happy when he saw Zheng Yucheng sending them money for free, "Please rest assured, we will definitely prepare for the cooperation between the two sides in drone."

"It's time for Mr. Zhao. We will do our best to help you." Xie Kai was naturally happy to see Zhao Xi expressing his opinion.

404 does not have much foundation in this regard.

The longer the tentacles are, the more basic technicians on the base will have work to do.

Zhao Xi said happily and went to find Wang Guilin, and wanted to remove Changkong No. 1's wings and tail wings and transport them to the train at night.

"You said I was going to establish projects at will. Just one idea, you can't get anything, and we will lose more than one million." Zheng Yucheng kept complaining after Zhao Xi left.

"Do you dare to be more stingy? This is not for nothing. In the future, they will definitely do their best to cooperate with us." Xie Kai said, "If we do it, we can take a big advantage."

"What are the advantages? Who knows how long it takes to see the results?" Zheng Yucheng's dissatisfaction is here.

He can see what he hopes, and he doesn't mind no matter how much money he invests.

"If fighters can flexibly make various maneuvers in the air, do you say that the Air Force will choose those ordinary target aircraft or those transformed from fighter aircraft?" Xie Kai asked, "If it can be flexibly manipulated, will those countries that lack pilots and do not have the ability to train pilots, will they be interested?"

Zheng Yucheng didn't believe the prospects depicted by Xie Kai.

"National pilots do not have sufficient funds to fly."

"Pilot flight is completely different from remote remote control, right? If a remote-controlled aircraft carries ammunition into the battlefield during wartime, there is no need to worry about being shot down at all. After being shot down by a person, the pilot's safety problem is very serious. It is not easy to train a pilot... Remote control operation is much easier, so it is not shot down, come back and continue to refuel and throw bombs or something..." Xie Kai knew that this combat mode was difficult to convince Zheng Yucheng.

The J-6 was discontinued in 1983, and the main combat forces of the Air Force became the J-7 and J-8ii. The huge number of J-6 has not yet been completely retired.

How to deal with more than 5,000 J-6 aircraft after retirement is a major problem that has plagued the military.

The J-6 transformed target aircraft and unmanned combat aircraft, which was the road that followed.

Xie Kai gave the answer in advance, whether it is a target aircraft or a drone sold to Iraq and other countries, it is feasible.

It is best to make it out before the Gulf War and sell a batch to Saddam at that time to see how the combat performance is.

With good performance, the transformation of these more than 5,000 retired J-6 in China will be a huge profit.

Selling it to countries where pilots are scarce is even more of a lot of foreign exchange.

Drones do not require pilots to go through long training, just train remote control technicians.

The requirements of keyboard pilots are far from as harsh as real pilots.

Keyboard pilots hiding hundreds or even thousands of kilometers away from remotely controlled fighter jets do not have to face danger, but will move forward bravely.

"Can J-6 be changed to a drone? It's bigger and heavier than a target aircraft." Zheng Yucheng felt that Xie Kai was talking about all the fallacies, "The technology needed is not a little bit."

"If the technology is too difficult, Mr. Zhao will have no objection at all?" Xie Kai rolled his eyes and said, "They must have been making this idea before, and they lacked funds."

"Can your superior agree?"

"The retired Sixth Master is huge in number. How to deal with it? Could it be dismantled? The funds required are not a little." Domestic fighter jets will be sealed even if they are retired.

I am afraid that all the advanced equipment in the war will be exhausted, and the ground troops will have to wait for bombing.

The People's Liberation Army, which came out of the Anti-Japanese War, had a deep memory of the enemy's attacks from the air.

The Japanese fighter jets can chase the army and shoot, while the US fighter jet strafing teams can continue to bomb.

"Even then, will they agree to let us make a transformation? Your thoughts are too naive." Zheng Yucheng shook his head.

The military guys are so stingy that it is not easy to gain advantage from them.

When it seems that when you take advantage of it, you often suffer losses.

"Don't think so much about how they are dealing with the retired J-Liu Ye. If we transform it into a target aircraft, even if one or two hundred aircraft are consumed a year, the military will save a lot of money. As long as the modification cost is not too high and they can be sold, they will be unable to get it." Xie Kai understood how short the Air Force's funds are.

Zheng Yucheng looked at him and disagreed.

"Those target aircraft were just given to them like this? How many target aircraft were in vain in the Air Force?" Zhao Xi looked for Wang Guilin, and Wang Guilin came to ask Zheng Yucheng. "We just passed our lives, so we gave away money to buy favors, and we can't live it in the future?"

When Xie Kai heard this, his mouth twitched.

Zheng Yucheng pointed at Xie Kai and said to Wang Guilin, "You ask him."

"Why is it for free to give it to the Air Force? They have funds for shooting targets." Xie Kai said.

"We didn't ask for money either. If they owe it, can we give it?"

"Don't Zhao Xi and the others calculate the funds with each other?" Xie Kai asked.

"They settled, and that had nothing to do with us. We bought the things with money, plus the shipping fee was more than 2 million yuan." Wang Guilin's dissatisfaction was not hidden at all. "We had a shortage of fees on our books."

Don't say he doesn't agree, anyone who knows this will not agree.

"Otherwise, let's discuss with Mr. Zhao, and don't give us money, and ask them to give us some retired J-6 or J-5 for research. This is reasonable and there is no problem on the books." Since we are going to do the J-6 drone modification, Xie Kai feels that it is better to get the retired aircraft as soon as possible.

When the modification is made, there is no need to ask for help.

"There are retired planes and bases and parks. Why do you want so many to do?" Wang Guilin looked at Xie Kai with dissatisfaction.

As soon as he moved his mouth, millions of funds were given to others in vain.

Even if the Air Force remembers their friendship, it will be useless.

They have nothing to do with the Air Force.

Xie Kai immediately explained to Wang Guilin about the preparations to cooperate with Zhao Xi and the others in an unmanned combat aircraft. Wang Guilin kept staring at Xie Kai, and finally looked at Zheng Yucheng, and what he got was helpless.

It became clear that this kid was making trouble again.

"It should be no problem with the target aircraft and the Air Force to exchange for retired J-6. This should be a problem. The Air Force has been having a headache about how to deal with the J-6 that was in service in the early days. Maybe one aircraft can be exchanged for two." Zhao Xi proposed to Xie Kai that three target aircraft were exchanged for retired fighter jets for research and experiments, and he agreed with both hands.

"That thing is useless, why do you have to do so much?" Wang Guilin complained.

For him, no matter how many J-6 there is, it is useless.

"Weapon system is not removed. We don't want ammunition or something, we must not lose weapons." Xie Kai said to Zhao Xi regardless of complaints.

Zhao Xi is familiar with the Air Force, and he should be reliable when he talks about this.
