In the advancement and invention of science and technology, most ideas require complex theoretical calculations and a lot of experiments. But what is interesting is that some ideas are brain teasers.

Take aerospace technology as an example:

Between World War I and World War II, piston aircraft had reached a bottleneck. They were not fast enough and the load capacity was not large enough.

Because it involves the heat dissipation problem of the piston engine. We should all know that the more cylinders, the more powerful the horsepower. However, an aircraft engine can only have so many cylinders, otherwise it will not be able to solve the problem of heat dissipation. Can't we just add a big water tank?

Therefore, through theoretical calculations such as physics and mathematics by engineers, we came to the conclusion that aircraft have reached their peak development, which is at this speed and this load capacity.

Are there any errors in such theoretical calculations? There certainly are no errors. Those formulas are all in college textbooks.

So a series of chain reactions occurred. The most famous one is-aircraft carriers are not as good as battleships!

Don't think that naval experts and naval engineers around the world are fools. They have proven this through a large number of exercises. The aircraft carriers at that time were indeed inferior to battleships because the aircraft had short legs and the bomb load was too small.

In the end, in the "Washington Naval Treaty", the proportion of battleships is still greater than that of aircraft carriers. Once again, the navies of various countries do have conservatives with big guns and big ships, but they will never collectively lose their wits and ignore the role of aircraft carriers, because -

The plane doesn't work! In other words - the plane's engine doesn't work!

However, no one expected that two genius ideas suddenly appeared:

One is the swept-back variable wing. In the past, aircraft wings were always at a right angle of 90 degrees, but just slanted like that? Can it actually be a technological leap?

The other is the hamburger structure of the engine, which is the front and rear layers. It can almost double the engine cylinder and solve the heat dissipation problem?

Both of these are brain-teaser ideas. There is no technical difficulty. As long as an experienced engineer takes a quick glance, they can easily imitate them.

Therefore, in the end, during World War II, various countries launched famous World War II fighter jets at almost the same time, and their performance was not much different.

The previous aircraft were also eliminated instantly. Even the status of the battleship seemed particularly embarrassing?

Now that the city has been built, it can’t be used, right?

Therefore, the technological innovation of naval warfare in World War II was indeed due to conservative reasons, but it was also due to the epoch-making changes in aircraft.

Just because of two brainteasers? Who can I ask to explain this?

Of course, there is also a certain noble lady. She found out that the foreign fighter jets she purchased were obsolete overnight, and she was frightened to death. She would rather put the military expenses for the purchase of the aircraft in the bank and earn interest than buy a new aircraft?

That one is just stupid, there is nothing to say. Even though there was a shortage of scientists and engineers in the country at that time, there were so many universities, there were always a few that could do theoretical calculations, right? Isn’t it okay to ask for advice?

…

Back to business.

At this time, Rong Guang drew the outline of the drone, especially the quadcopter. He didn't think it was anything strange at all. Aren't all civilian drones in the future going to look like this bird?

However, in Wang Tao's eyes, this was definitely a brain-teaser idea and a milestone in the history of drone development! It suddenly became clear and all technical obstacles were solved at once.

Here, let’s introduce the stages of DJI’s development in its original history!

In the original timeline, DJI was just established at the end of last year and at the beginning of this year, which was only a few months after its establishment. The first sample was produced.

However, at this time, the UAV market is either in the shape of a traditional fixed-wing aircraft or a traditional helicopter. Anyway, it is very traditional, and no one will consider a quadcopter at all.

Of course, quadcopters have many advantages, the most important of which is safety and stability. But there are also many disadvantages, such as multiple engines, high price, slow flight speed, and complex control systems...

To be honest, there are so many disadvantages that basically no one will consider it.

However, after the success of DJI, everyone was surprised to find that a safe and stable one is enough. What we need is aerial shooting, which means we need to be stable at high altitude and shoot clear pictures. It is not aerial acrobatics, so the other shortcomings are

It's no longer a shortcoming.

It had to wait until four years later, in 2010, when Wang Tao was inspired by a New Zealand accessories dealer and discovered that multi-rotors were becoming popular among drone DIY enthusiasts. Only then did he suddenly realize that he immediately specialized in quad-rotors.

After waiting for another two years, Wang Tao once again had an idea. Since most civilian drones are used for aerial photography, why don't I just combine the two into one?

So the DJI "Elf" series appeared, and became popular all over the world at the speed of light...

Did you notice?

These two technological leaps are completely brain-teaser-like creativity. Is it very complicated to add a camera to a drone? It's just that you didn't think of it.

Therefore, Rong Guang's inspiration here is equivalent to giving Wang Tao two golden fingers directly. Rong Guang, a bastard, doesn't know it at all, and he doesn't care. But Wang Tao feels like he has found a treasure! At least it can save several years of time!

The key reason why it will save several years is that there is no need for trial and error, and there is already a very clear goal.

"Director Rong." Wang Tao hesitated, "This plan should be feasible. But it is equivalent to overthrowing everything before. I'm afraid it's too late..."

"Then you are going to recruit people?" Rong Guang asked strangely.

"But... I don't have enough funds here." Wang Tao was a little embarrassed. A penny can stump a heroic man!

Rong Guang was even more surprised: "Do you need investment here? I'll give you 10 million?"

"ah?"

"If there is a shortage of OEMs, I can ask the toy factory of Good Meow Meow to fully cooperate with you?"

"this……?"

"If you need technical exchanges, can the technical experts of Paramecium Robot support you?"

"..." Wang Tao was already speechless. If coupled with the advertising effect in future movies, the director Rong in front of him has already arranged everything, this would be... very scary.

Wang Tao was somewhat wary: "Director Rong, what do you want? I've agreed, I won't sell this company!"

"Pfft!" Rong Guang laughed dumbly, "Then just give me some shares! I don't need control of the company."

Regarding Wang Tao's personality, there were various rumors on the Internet later. But one thing is very consistent - Wang Tao has a strong desire to control DJI and will never tolerate the interference of others.

For this control, Wang Tao would rather not go public, rather drive the founding partners out of the company, and those founding partners are still his teachers and classmates? Would he rather fall out with a North American distributor? Would he rather refuse an acquisition by a multinational company?
