Chapter 351 Third Party Manufacturing
This accompanying person often came here with Director Zhang and was very familiar with the inside of Infinite Company. He said happily: "This building is indeed the core of Infinite Company, but it is just their office building."
"In terms of importance, that thirty-storey building is ten times more important than this!"
Several air force personnel were shocked. Is there any special secret here?
The accompanying person smiled and said: "That building is the computer center of Infinity Company. Look at how many floors it has, how many supercomputer systems it has."
"One, two, three, thirty-six, there may be a few more floors below, and this will already be the forty floor! Be good!"
Li Gang smacked his tongue and exclaimed.
horrible!
In their impression, supercomputers are so expensive and mysterious that a large research unit would be happy to have one.
But look at the Infinite Company. It makes those research units without supercomputers go crazy with jealousy!
The escort also looked at the building with pride: "I heard that there is a mysterious 51st District in the United States. It is said to be magical. No one knows whether it is true or not, but I dare to conclude that it is in the 51st District.
There’s no way there are so many supercomputers!”
"With so many supercomputers assisting research, do you think the technological level of Infinite Company is not high?"
Several air force personnel nodded in agreement and looked at the thirty-six-story building in the distance with expressions of admiration.
On Director Zhang's side, they are also talking about the computer center building.
From the moment they entered, they found that this building was very eye-catching. Infinity Company would send people to clean the glass exterior every three days, so that the whole building maintained a crystal clear and new look, shining under the sunlight.
Everyone who comes to the company for the first time will be deeply attracted by it.
Several researchers from the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense looked excited, but they still asked Director Zhang in disbelief: "You mean, Infinite Company has agreed to rent all its supercomputers to us for research?
"
"Of course! It's absolutely true!"
Director Zhang looked at the building with some confusion.
Infinite Company has more advanced supercomputers, so of course it no longer looks down on these obsolete old machines. Perhaps, it should ask Chen Weidong to support a few more new models of supercomputers to help the country provide support for several key projects.
Sufficient computing support.
He believed that Chen Weidong would definitely agree. There was no doubt about his patriotism.
However, with Chen Weidong's character, it is very likely that he will reach out for something else.
I just don’t know what he would like?
In the parking lot in front of the guest building of Infinite Company, Chen Weidong and Lin Zeju warmly received these visitors from the General Assembly and Science and Industry Commission.
Very good accommodation conditions were arranged for all those who came.
From the internal facilities of the room to the external environment, everyone receives at least the treatment of a three-star hotel. Some veteran engineers, researchers, and special personnel enjoy five-star treatment.
However, they are not here for a trip this time.
Several leaders of the general assembly eagerly expressed their demands for this visit without even taking a sip of wine at the reception banquet.
Chen Weidong and Lin Zeju had no choice but to respond with a smile, and after dinner, they took them to visit the laboratory in the West District.
Zhao Gong is the general director of the Mechanical Laboratory and one of the participants in the UAV project.
It is most appropriate for him to take part in the reception this time.
In a product room of the Optoelectronics Laboratory, a group of people from the General Assembly and the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense finally saw the "Peregrine 2" drone that had been rumored by the outside world.
No wonder they are so eager.
Just because this drone has become so famous recently.
Relying on it, Saddam defeated the arrogant US military and successfully turned the tide of the war in Iraq.
With the large-scale withdrawal of U.S. troops, the situation in the Gulf has begun to ease. This is an indisputable fact.
However.
More behind-the-scenes transactions are underway.
The Peregrine 2 UAV has become a hot topic.
During the Battle of Jahra, nearly twenty Iraqi drones were destroyed by the US military. The remaining twelve drones also crashed on their way back to Baghdad due to lack of fuel and fell into the desert.
Fortunately, every drone is equipped with a positioning device.
These drones scattered in the desert were eventually recovered by Iraqi soldiers. Otherwise, not only would the losses be great, but there would also be a risk of technology leakage.
Saudi representatives proposed to purchase a drone for US$300 million, but Saddam sternly rejected it.
In his opinion, this is the trump card that the Iraqi army relies on for its survival, the most advanced weapon, a magic weapon for sneak attacks on the US military. How can it be sold to others, even if someone offers a higher price?
Not only will it not be sold, but it will be protected to the highest standards.
Not only did Saudi Arabia, Jordan and other Middle Eastern countries not buy it, but even Mauritius and Russia denied it, saying they had never sold drones to foreign countries.
Many popular rants.
The US military tried its best but failed to obtain a complete drone. It could only collect some fragments damaged by explosions on the battlefield and hand them over to relevant agencies for in-depth analysis.
Don't say anything else.
The invisible material coated on it alone is worthy of vigorous research by countries around the world.
Its strategic value is immeasurable.
In the laboratory, representatives from the General Assembly and the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense saw what real military products are.
Chen Weidong took the test report handed over by Zhao Gong.
This is a data test done in the laboratory on the Peregrine 2 UAV and various electronic components.
The test conditions are very harsh, including working temperature conditions, earthquake resistance conditions, and waterproof and moisture-proof tests, all of which are listed one by one.
The representative of the General Assembly Department, who has been in charge of the research and development of weapons over the years, is well-informed. After seeing this test report and comparing it with the equipment developed by his own side, he feels ashamed.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Military products may not necessarily have the best performance, but they are definitely the most reliable and stable.
A group of people were chatting and laughing happily. From the design and development of drones to flight simulations, everyone was talking and laughing happily.
The representative of the General Assembly Department was polite and said to Chen Weidong: "Mr. Chen, the quality of your drone has been tested in actual combat. We are very interested. If you can slightly change the painting appearance and reduce the price,
We hope to be able to purchase in bulk."
This is the ultimate purpose of their coming.
Recently, Saudi Arabia is looking around the world for manufacturers that can produce military drones.
However, most of the UAV technology is in the hands of the US military. The price they quoted is US$18 million for a Predator and US$20 million for a Global Hawk.
If this price had been in the past, Saudi Arabia would not have hesitated at all and would have bought a dozen of them first to prop up the market.
But after seeing Saddam’s “Peregrine 2” drone, Saudi Arabia no longer looked down upon the U.S. military’s drones.
What kind of Predator, Global Hawk, no matter how powerful it is, can it be more powerful than Saddam's drone?
Can it emit laser?
Not to mention the attack methods, the flight speed and endurance are all very different.
Compared with the two, the U.S. military's drones are simply oversized toys.
The most important thing is that they found out through multiple channels that the price of the Peregrine 2 UAV is only US$10 million per unit, which is almost twice as cheap as the U.S. military's UAV!
Who would want to be taken advantage of and buy U.S. drones?
Saudi Arabia and Iraq are adjacent to each other, and the surrounding countries are not fuel-efficient. They will fight every other day.
Therefore, they are in urgent need of some cheap individual equipment to be used as the main force to deal with general local conflicts.
The staff pointed out that if they could equip a large number of UAVs of the same level, they would have greater confidence in dealing with the world's military powers, not to mention the Middle East.
To put it bluntly, they were still afraid that Saddam would do something crazy.
After all, he has threatened many times that if Iraq loses the war, he will blow up the Kuwaiti oil wells and die with everyone else.
The Saudi representative traveled around European and American countries and found that not only were the prices offered by those people exorbitantly expensive, but the performance of the drones was also very limited.
In the end, they could only send people to China in a symbolic way to ask if they could build a drone with similar performance.
However, they soon received a reply from the foreign affairs staff:
“Not only does it work, but the performance is almost the same!”
After Saudi Arabia confirmed it again and again, it was overjoyed and immediately sent people to China to discuss the specific purchase details.
Now their representatives are at the Baijing State Guesthouse, waiting for news from here.
Chapter completed!
