1991 Starting from the core

Seeing the J10 parked generously in the hangar, Xi Xiaoding, who was not very enthusiastic about the military or a military fan, was a little dumbfounded - even if he hadn't paid attention, he would have known that this was probably the most advanced fighter aircraft in the country.

He secretly glanced at Su Yuanshan, and when he saw the latter's calm expression, he suppressed his curiosity. But after following Luo and Yang into the office on the second floor, Xi Xiaoding finally couldn't hold it back anymore.

"Gong Luo, Gong Yang, this is... the latest fighter plane, right? Just leave it like this?"

Vice President Luo and Deputy Director Yang looked at each other and laughed at the same time: "Haha, yes, just leave it like this."

"..."

"There have been spy photos on the Internet for a long time, and the original plan was to attend the Zhuhai Air Show this year..." Vice President Luo explained to Xi Xiaoding with a smile, and said wittily: "Besides, the confidentiality level of Academician Xi and President Shan is scary. It’s quite high.”

Xi Xiaoding immediately smiled and coughed: "Ahem...it depends on the field."

The four of them laughed and chatted and sat down separately. Su Yuanshan saw the two of them looking generous and generous, but he had more in mind - letting the two of them see the new fighter jets that have not yet been installed, of course, there is a reason why the two of them can pass the confidentiality regulations - - This means that as long as the two of them apply, they can be approved to have access to deeper secrets. Even if they are allowed to take a "incidental" look this time, they will definitely be included in the procedure.

But on the other hand, Su Yuanshan thought of the tasks that the amiable Deputy Director Yang in front of him was undertaking.

Putting aside national intelligence, Su Yuanshan, even from the perspective of business secrets and business intelligence, can think of the ancient but extremely effective routine of building a plank road openly and secretly infiltrating Chen Cang.

And Su Yuanshan also roughly guessed that today's tea might not taste good.

Sure enough, after the current vice president, Vice President Luo, who will be the number one next year, personally made a cup of tea for the three of them, he looked at Su Yuanshan with a smile: "Mr. Shan, I just accidentally heard that your supercars will add animations in the future. Environmental recognition?”

"Well, image recognition is used to lay the foundation for future autonomous driving." Su Yuanshan held up the tea and looked at Vice President Luo with a smile. Then he tilted his head and smiled at Deputy Director Yang: "It's a pity that it has nothing to do with the automatic driving of the aircraft. The driving principles are different, otherwise I would have come to learn from you.”

"Forehead……"

Hearing Su Yuanshan directly talk about the technical route, Vice President Luo and Vice Director Yang looked at each other, and both of them were a little confused as to what to say.

They didn't speak, and Su Yuanshan didn't speak either.

He could only guess that Chengfei and the design institute might want to ask Yuanxin for help or cooperation, but he couldn't guess which field it was in - because as far as he knew so far, under the "matchmaking" above , several laboratories of Yuanxin have already cooperated with many special units and laboratories. As for the content of the cooperation... Let's put it this way, it can be used both military and civilian. No one can find fault.

Moreover, the person with whom we cooperate the most is actually Cheng Fei, who is arranged according to the principle of proximity. Generally speaking, in the large system of avionics, the two laboratories of Yuanxin have contributed a lot.

Therefore, Su Yuanshan really didn't know what kind of help Yuanxin needed - he wouldn't let Yuanxin help with aviation development, right?

Aviation engines, avionics, airframes, weapons. Among the four major systems of this fighter jet, the avionics system is the only one that Yuexin can help with.

But in the end, Deputy Director Yang could not calm down and looked at Xi Xiaoding with burning eyes: "Well... Mr. Shan, Academician Xi. I wonder if Yuanxin has thought of using infrared or radar?"

"radar?"

Xi Xiaoding was slightly startled and quickly looked at Su Yuanshan.

Although Mr. Xi was not familiar with the military, because Pandora had always been developing in the field of sensing and imaging, he instantly guessed the key.

"SAR technology?" Xi Xiaoding asked tentatively.

"3D?" Su Yuanshan added.

Vice President Luo and Vice Director Yang looked at each other and smiled: "You seem to have used infrared imaging technology on game controllers."

Su Yuanshan and Xi Xiaoding coughed at the same time.

——The motion controller for PS2 and Xbox has been launched in March, and in order to reduce costs, the solution adopted is dual infrared sensors, but the direction of the laboratory is still to use binocular imaging.

SAR, synthetic aperture radar, the magic weapon of space imaging, combined with algorithms, can not only accurately identify targets, but also realize all "intelligent" operations such as target search, target tracking, automatic obstacle avoidance, etc. It is also one of the essential avionics systems for top fighter jets.

From the pitiful amount of military information in Su Yuanshan's memory, he only knew that the J20 was not equipped with an optoelectronic comprehensive aperture at the beginning.

Xi Xiaoding pondered for a few seconds and then slowly said: "We can't guarantee the hardware, but the system and algorithm are definitely fine. Right, Mr. Shan?"

Su Yuanshan also nodded: "Well, and the technology of optoelectronic comprehensive aperture... I won't hide it from you two. If it must be realized by remote core, according to the technical reserve of remote core, add a radar team - okay , the lidar project is actually also in our plan, but the priority is relatively low, after all, the cost is a bit high - but overall, it is not too difficult, it is just polished with time and funds."

"However, its goal is still too clear." Su Yuanshan looked at Deputy Director Yang and said seriously: "Everyone knows that this technology is basically used on fighter planes now."

Deputy Director Yang and Vice President Luo looked at each other, both of them smiled bitterly.

Yes, the goal of this thing is too obvious.

Nowadays, Yuanxin has become more and more "international", let them assist in the development of such a "target-specific" technology, especially when it requires the use of top laboratories...both in terms of safety and For Yuanxin itself, it is not a positive thing.

You know, the proportion of foreign experts in Yuanxin’s two top laboratories is quite high.

"Otherwise, break the project down." Seeing the expressions of the two of them, Su Yuanshan knew this very well. He sighed a little in his heart and then thought about it again: "I don't know where your needs and designs are. It’s just one step, but if possible, redesign it, then carry out modular project management, split it out, so that the target is smaller and safety can be guaranteed.”

“But it’s a challenge for project coordinators.”

Upon hearing this, Deputy Director Yang's eyes immediately lit up: "This is feasible!"

"But there's one more thing..." Su Yuanshan blinked: "The four of us can't settle things here - you see, I haven't even talked about money yet."

Hearing Su Yuanshan's words, Deputy Director Yang was slightly startled, a little confused, but Vice President Luo immediately came back to his senses and laughed: "No problem, we will definitely ask our superiors."

Su Yuanshan nodded with a smile: "That's no problem."

——Of course Su Yuanshan would be happy to help the J20 be armed as soon as possible. But this love cannot be passed on to Chengfei's family.

Xi Xiaoding glanced at a few people and joked: "Thankfully, we have always been able to develop in an all-round way without attracting attention. If we were a different company, we would not be able to avoid attracting attention."

"That's right, and even if people pay attention to it, we still have a drone project!" Su Yuanshan was quite proud: "Boy, are you interested in drones?"

Vice President Luo: "..."

Deputy Director Yang: "..."

Seeing that the two of them were stunned and speechless at the same time, Su Yuanshan laughed instantly: "My fault, my fault, I actually forgot where this place is."

"Haha, but it can also be seen that Mr. Shan is thinking about sales all the time." Vice President Luo also laughed and said: "But your drone is really easy to use. I heard that the military is planning to purchase it?"

"Well...actually our drones have already been on the battlefield."

While talking, Su Yuanshan chatted about the fact that in the first half of this year, in order to cope with TLB's street fighting, the drone received a large order from the Lighthouse Country.

"Although it is said to be for civilian use, in fact... Judging from the many battlefield photos that have been circulated, a discerning person can immediately tell that they were taken by Elf drones in mid-air." Su Yuanshan smiled and shook his head: "They are just bullying the TLB gang. The militiamen do not have high technology or high-tech talents, so if they dare to come to our side, we can teach them what it means to defect on the battlefield in a matter of minutes."

Vice President Luo and Deputy Director Yang were startled at the same time. The latter asked tentatively: "Have you buried a backdoor in the control system?"

"That's not true. It's just that we developed the system after all, and we started doing communications and electronic countermeasures three years ago." Su Yuanshan coughed and said, "Well, we did it secretly."

Luo and Yang looked like they understood.

"But one thing to say, although I don't know much about the development of military equipment, based on my technical intuition, I still feel that... drones will be a major development trend in the future. After all, for those who are behind in technology, their advantages and costs are overwhelming. Pressure-type. In addition to actual combat, the functions of real-time reconnaissance on multiple terrains are also very useful, and may even become standard equipment for single teams or individual soldiers in the future."

"As for electronic interference, unless there is an EMP attack, theoretically, it can be achieved through AI intervention to achieve return and identification of friend and foe. It's just that we haven't progressed to that step yet... Think about it, in the future, a small aircraft Even if a small drone is disconnected from the Internet, as long as its core system has not been invaded, it can still rely on its own intelligent logic to identify ourselves, the enemy and its own status, and either return or complete the mission... How much sacrifice can be reduced? ah!"

Su Yuanshan sighed with emotion. Seeing that the two of them were deep in thought, he looked at his watch and said with a slight smile: "How about we go see the sports car again? Yang Gong, you are the top expert in aerodynamics in the country, can you help us check it?"

"Ahem... don't dare." Deputy Director Yang waved his hand quickly and smiled modestly: "You have done a very good job."

But having said that, Deputy Director Yang still stood up immediately.

Su Yuanshan and Xi Xiaoding looked at each other and smiled.

——Obviously, Deputy Director Yang is the same kind of person as them. With such skills at your fingertips, it would be really uncomfortable if you didn't show off your skills when encountering a suitable occasion.

Of course, Deputy Director Yang's show of skill was obviously not a figment of the imagination, just looking at the design drawings and pointing out improvements. After carefully listening to Su Yuanshan's positioning and design ideas for Divo, and understanding the layout of the entire vehicle, he proposed the idea of ​​lowering the tail design and making the roof more arched for the subsequent design. He said that as long as a compromise point is found, , it can still be made both beautiful and fast.

Deputy Director Yang told Su Yuanshan that in aerodynamics, speed is a beauty in itself.

This made Su Yuanshan admire him again.

——Because the direction suggested by Deputy Director Yang is indeed the direction that future supercars will develop in pursuit of extreme speed.

That night, Su Yuanshan and his team couldn't resist the enthusiasm of everyone at Chengfei. Not only did they borrow the runway, but they also got a dinner before being sent out as gifts.

After getting on the bus, Xi Xiaoding immediately asked: "Do you feel that Cheng Fei seems to be making a big move?"

As soon as he said these words, Wen Xiaoqian immediately turned her head, and Fu Zhenhua also looked over in the rearview mirror.

Su Yuanshan chuckled: "This is not our business. You can guess, but you can't talk nonsense."

As he spoke, he looked forward: "Brother Fu, Xiaoqian."

Fu Zhenhua chuckled: "I keep my mouth shut."

Wen Xiaoqian shrugged, feeling helpless: "The president at the table said that he might make a big move, but what did you say..."

Su Yuanshan blinked: "Every word Mr. Xi says has weight."

Xi Xiaoding glared at Su Yuanshan helplessly: "...It's too much."

"Senior brother, you haven't adapted to your status yet." Su Yuanshan looked at him with a smile: "Look at me, I am a mountain boss. The first time I come up to shake hands is because of you, and then when I want to talk to us , Academician Xi is also the first person to be called...and you are the first person to be invited to propose a toast."

Xi Xiaoding glanced at him sideways: "Then why didn't you say that I am older than you?"

"..." Su Yuanshan was immediately speechless by his words.

"Then if we don't talk about flying, let's talk about cars." Wen Xiaoqian pursed her lips and smiled: "Mr. Shan, when is the press conference?"

"Two months later." Su Yuanshan looked at the truck in front of him and said leisurely: "The launch of this car has a long way to go and there is no room for any mistakes."

Everyone in the car nodded in unison.

"Indeed, even the repair and construction costs have exceeded hundreds of millions. Except for analog chips and car anti-theft systems, not a single wheel of real car parts has been sold. It really needs to give everyone an explanation." Xi Xiaoding also said with emotion.

Although he unconditionally supports Su Yuanshan's development in new technologies and new fields, Yuanxin today is no longer the Yuanxin company in the past where everyone listened to Su Yuanshan and then focused on development.

Yuanxin is so big and has so many senior executives in the entire system... Now that an executive board of directors has been established, the opinions of each board member must be respected.

Not everyone is optimistic about launching pure electric vehicles at this time.

Su Yuanshan smiled and nodded, but his brows furrowed without leaving any trace.

——Obviously, none of the people in the car, including Mr. Xi, realized the true meaning of electric vehicles.

In other words, the real significance of rapidly stimulating the domestic "new energy vehicle" market and layout is to focus on Yuanxin.

——The above-mentioned East Asia Tripartite Free Trade Area is undergoing key negotiations.

That means that all parties must truly make compromises.
