Chapter 2019 Americans are here to buy drones

"Or what if we have nothing to do, we can stroll around every day? Let's take a walk around the big companies and then look for something delicious in the city where the company is located?"

Xie Kai is indeed a little bored.

He really wanted to find something for himself.

But in addition to waiting for the aircraft carrier to be launched, equipped, and put into service, either the J-20 is waiting for the first flight or the Y-20 is waiting for the first flight...

Because he is unwilling to participate in the management of 404, he can only wait.

Interference cannot be interfered.

Manufacturing these requires many units to provide support.

"It's too lazy to run. It's better to go to the west." Moqi shook his head.

After all, she was also a staff member of Hope Project back then. She went to major companies to help raise donations every year, which led to the fundraising speed of Hope Project very fast. So far, she has raised more than 50 billion yuan in funds.

The large amount of capital investment has led to a much faster development in the education foundation investment in poor western areas than in the original era.

“…”

Xie Kai really couldn't find what he should do.

Especially he is lazy.

In this state of being in a state of stuttering life, the Iraq War broke out.

International oil prices have soared, and Xie Kai has nothing else except harvesting the profits of oil futures.

Although Sha Damu is much stronger than the world where Xie Kai was originally, in the face of a new round of war, his rule was overthrown without much resistance.

This is an inevitable result of historical development.

He even went to do some business by himself, but unfortunately he couldn't compare with professionals at all.

In desperation, Xie Kai picked up his old business - he installed various gadgets such as turning, milling, grinding, CNC truck, machining center, etc. in the courtyard where he lived. These are the top things in the 404 formerly Hongqi Machinery Factory CNC Equipment Research Center.

Xie Kai, who was idle, started to build his own robot.

Not to mention the domestic technological development level, even the world's top technology is impossible to create a robot that can independently perform various complex tasks.

Even twenty years later, there are great difficulties.

Xie Kai is not for technical achievements, but just wants to find something for himself.

Robots involve many fields, which requires them to constantly learn many unfamiliar areas, so that they will naturally not be bored anymore.

Even when he played this, he had an unexpected gain - Xie Liuyijiu was led by him to this road and no longer ran to Lao Fang's house.

In addition to going to school, we are learning the operation of various machine tools, learning various theoretical foundations, and practicing hands-on...

Xie Kai originally thought that he would live like this for the rest of his life.

However, one day, Yue Lin came to the door in person, which made Xie Kai immediately excited - Americans asked them to buy drones!

"Then I'll sell it to them. What's there to hesitate? In recent years, the base's equipment exports have almost been zero internationally, right?" Xie Kai was very dissatisfied with Yue Lin and the others' attitude.

Isn’t it what they have always pursued when selling it to Americans?

"They asked us to modify the interface so that we can access their satellite systems. They are not willing to hand over the interface technical information to us..."

"This is impossible!" Xie Kai shook his head directly.

Data interface is the core technology.

Once it is released, it will be amazing.

Xie Kai was a little confused. It was impossible for Yue Lin to come to him just because of this, right?

Is the conflict between the two sides of the base completely unavoidable?

Want to split up?

I didn't hear my dad say this.

"The Americans proposed to visit our factory..." Yue Lin was a little embarrassed.

The 404 base is still in a highly confidential state.

Xie Kai put the drone R&D center inside the base to keep it confidential.

"What type and model do they want? What do their superiors say?" Xie Kai was a little confused. Are Americans really preparing to purchase or inquire about their true technical level.

"The superiors handed over the decision to us. It was mainly the integrated drones of front-line reconnaissance and strike. After the outbreak of the Iraq War, Kuwait used drones purchased from us to shine, thus attracting the attention of the US military in Iraq..."

"It's not the US government procurement? It's the ones they purchased from the frontline troops?" Xie Kai instantly grasped the key.

This is normal.

Unlike many armies, the US military has certain equipment procurement authority.

Even many defense contractors directly seek orders from frontline troops.

"Yes." Yue Lin nodded, "You are good at this kind of thing, and this time you are your old acquaintance, Samako, and Kuwait, and decided to add a batch of drones to purchase, and there are Saudis in the team..."

Xie Kai understood why Yue Lin came back to find him.

Negotiations with these procurement teams are my best.

The previous international trade of 404 was facilitated by Xie Kai.

"So, since the superiors do not object, they agree to their request to visit the factory. However, some arrangements and adjustments must be made to prevent them from understanding our true technical level..." Xie Kai thought for a while and expressed his willingness to do this.

Wasn't it just to try to sell drones to Kuwaits to wait for such an opportunity?

The complex war against terror has made drones appear.

Countries have also begun to increase research efforts in this area.

The drones sold to Kuwait are not technically advanced, but are developed for the war on terrorism and can make up for the gaps in those drones studied by the United States.

"Thank you, do you know that I was under great pressure to purchase those drones back then. Many people thought it was garbage..." Samaco smiled when he saw Xie Kai.

He was grateful to Xie Kai.

Without satellite systems, relying on early warning aircraft and drones, the entire country is also defended very tightly.

"We are friends. If we have good things, we naturally have to share them with our friends, right?" Xie Kai smiled, "I wonder how much the general is going to purchase this time?"

"This depends on what performance drones you are planning to provide. I know you have more advanced ones... The ones we use at present have considerable limitations, such as the range is too short, the air stagnation time is too short, the speed is too slow, and the transmission speed is also a bit slow..."

Samaco looked at Xie Kai with a playful look on his face.

They need more advanced drones.

Even, according to Kuwait's plan, in addition to equipping with a small number of advanced manned fighter jets, drones will be used as main equipment.

"These drones can ensure that our soldiers do not have to face danger directly, and can solve the problems on the front line by sitting in the rear... Thank you, the war in the future will be the era of drones..."

Xie Kai admires Samako's intuition very much.

"No, the role of drones will become more and more important, but it will be impossible to replace manned fighter jets in a long time in the future. Unless the drone can achieve the combat capability of manned fighter jets. But no matter what signal transmission is, there will be a delay and it will not be as flexible as manned fighter jets..."

Xie Kai sincerely reminded Samako.

It is not realistic for a unit to use drones all.

The main body of the war is still soldiers, not high-tech equipment.

Unless breakthroughs are made in artificial intelligence.

The reactions of drones when dealing with various complex environments are simply incomparable to pilots who have received extensive training.

Moreover, these drones need to be remotely operated by personnel in the rear.

Samaco looked at Xie Kai and was puzzled, "Thank you, this is not your style. Shouldn't you praise the drone as I say at this time?"

Based on his understanding of Xie Kai, Xie Kai really shouldn't say that.

Even for orders, this should not be done.

Xie Kai looked at him and rolled his eyes directly.

"If drones can really achieve the effect you want, do you think countries still need to develop manned fighter jets? Training drone operators can be much lower than fighter pilots!"

Samaco nodded.

That's the truth.

"But what we can provide at present is indeed much more advanced than before, with a larger ammunition load, a longer range, and a more flexible operation... Of course, the price will be much more expensive..." Xie Kai gave the other party a vaccination first.

When it was sold to Kuwait, it was almost half sold and half given away.

Just expect them to discover the effect of using it and then bring more customers.

"Will Kuwait be short of money?" Samacko felt uneasy, but the drones I bought before were not expensive.

At present, because Iraq's crude oil has almost withdrawn from the international crude oil market and international oil prices have risen sharply, they are naturally not afraid of the drones sold by Xie Kai.

The more expensive the better!

High-tech equipment, expensive means better performance.
