Technological power starts with upgrading lenses

Compared to the conservative test on the first day, the Yinhe on the second day really surprised everyone.

So after the day's test, Cai Yaobin didn't even visit the subsequent extreme tests. He returned directly to Yanjing, reported the current test situation of the aircraft to his immediate leaders, and brought back the latest needs of the military.

"We are going to purchase 30 basic models first, and then we want you to hurry up and develop the heavy-duty Silver Crane with a maximum load capacity of 8 tons for vertical takeoff and landing, and a maximum load capacity of 12 tons for gliding."

"As long as the performance of the heavy-duty Silver Crane can reach 80% of the basic model, we can directly purchase 300 units first. The specific parameter requirements for the heavy-duty Silver Crane are all in this document."

Kang Chi nodded, took the document handed over by Cai Yaobin, looked at it carefully, and found that the parameter requirements they proposed for the heavy-duty Silver Crane were actually very simple. In addition to higher requirements for battery life and load capacity, the rest were all These are the cabin space structure design and the reserved requirements for the external module bayonet.

Obviously, what they want is a standard "bare metal" that can be purchased and modified by themselves, and some modular equipment can be added according to actual needs.

After putting down the documents, Kang Chi couldn't help but smile and asked, "Don't you ask about the price before placing an order?"

"This is not the first time we have cooperated." Cai Yaobin said very confidently, "I believe Mr. Kang will definitely give us a price that is satisfactory to both of us."

A good one is to retreat in order to advance.

Having said that, Kang Chi was of course embarrassed to pinch him too hard...

However, it can also be seen from this that through several previous cooperations, the military has established enough trust and goodwill in him.

Kang Chi was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "The cost of industrial manufacturing is inversely proportional to the manufacturing quantity, so I have a little question... When Mr. Cai gave me the 20 drawings, he once said It cannot be used for commercial use. I wonder if this Silver Crane is included?"

Cai Yaobin was stunned for a moment.

According to Kang Chi, do you want to turn Yinhe into a civilian product?

From a technical perspective, Cai Yaobin believes that the correlation between Yinhe and Zhi-20 is minimal. The drawings of Zhi-20 should only be learning materials for Kangchi.

After all, most aircraft drawings are high-level confidential documents, unlike ordinary learning materials that can be found by just searching online.

But if you only provide a set of learning materials and restrict Kang Chi's use of Yinhe, then it is indeed somewhat unreasonable and even a bit rogue...

Cai Yaobin thought carefully for a moment, and then slowly said: "Although it is reasonable and reasonable, I think you have the right to use Yinhe for commercial purposes, but for technical security reasons, I think you need to at least understand the key Technology, especially battery technology, undergoes necessary emasculation restrictions.”

"Don't worry about this!" Seeing Cai Yaobin relent, Kang Chi nodded immediately, "In fact, I will do this without you mentioning it. After all, for commercial use, it is impossible to use such high-end solid-state lithium-ion batteries considering the cost."

After obtaining the commercial license, it means that Yinhe can be mass-produced, so the price space is also much larger.

This is not only good for Kang Chi, but also good news for ordinary people. It is also good for the military.

Moreover, the civilian Yinhe can be converted to military use by simply replacing it with a more powerful battery when necessary, greatly increasing the potential strength of the army.

Kangchi’s final quotation was 34.4 million for the basic model, which comes standard with two 3000-degree battery packs.

If you want more batteries, one costs 7.2 million yuan, which is the same as Kangchi’s previous quotation of 2,400 yuan/kg.

As for the heavy-duty Silver Crane, it is initially expected that the battery pack will be at least twice as big. Just two 5-ton battery packs will cost as much as 28.8 million yuan. Therefore, the estimated price of a standard heavy-duty Silver Crane will be as high as 68.8 million yuan. .

However, the performance parameters of the heavy Silver Crane are basically benchmarked against the Osprey.

The price of the Osprey is as high as 74 million US dollars. Faced with this sky-high price of almost 500 million RMB, the 68.8 million Silver Crane is definitely a good value for money.

As for the 100 million Zhi20, there is no comparison at all. Whether it is performance, cost-effectiveness, or later use and maintenance costs, it is almost crushed in all aspects.

"In addition, this Silver Crane is just a prototype for technical verification. After the test, I will make improvements and upgrades based on the test results. By then, the performance may be further improved... Of course, the price may also increase, so this quotation These are for reference only and do not serve as the final transaction price.”

Hearing Kang Chi's last words, Cai Yaobin's eyes suddenly lit up and he became even more excited.

Good guy, listening to Kang Chi’s words, Yinhe actually still has potential that hasn’t been exploited?

What the hell kind of genius is this! ?

"No problem, no problem!" Cai Yaobin nodded quickly, "We know that Mr. Kang's quotation has always been honest, so we have never paid back the price, right?"

"By the way...I have study materials for H-6K and Yun-20 here..."

Cai Yaobin asked tentatively with a sly smile, "If Mr. Kang is interested, why not take the time to study?"

Kang Chi: "..."

Brother, this intention is too obvious, right?

But why H-6K?

"Isn't it rumored among the people that the H-20 is out?"

"This... I don't have enough information to apply for this level. If you really want it, why don't you write a written application in person and I can submit it for you?"

"It's okay. I'm just asking casually. Don't bother me. The Y20 engine is just fine."

Since Kang Chi said so, he was obviously ready to accept this study material, which made Cai Yaobin sigh in relief.

So after completing the data transfer work as required, Kang Chi had two more hard drives in his hands...

After four days of preliminary testing, Yinhe has completed the basic testing process. The next step is to test its stability in extreme conditions such as sandstorms, low temperatures, rain, snow and freezing, as well as tests such as maximum battery life and long-term use. .

Many of these tests require going to a special place and may even be carried out depending on God's face.

Speaking of which, the dangers of these tests are indeed a bit high. In extreme environments that others usually avoid, these test pilots have to risk their lives. This makes Kang Chi admired but also worried.

In order to further ensure safety, Kang Chi decided that these projects should wait until he upgraded Yinhe again, otherwise he would feel guilty if something happened.

"Mr. Kang, have a nice trip!"

"When is Yinhe's next test?"

"Mr. Kang, take care!"

"..."

Although the test group only got along for four or five days, everyone was completely impressed by the performance of Kang Chi and Yinhe. Therefore, when Kang Chi left, they all came to see him off.

"Thank you everyone. I will complete the improvements to Yinhe as soon as possible and strive to come back as soon as possible. Thank you for your hard work these days. Thank you for making Yinhe truly fly into the sky."

After saying that, Kang Chi looked at Li Xiangnan and Shen Ye again, and said with a smile: "I know that asking you to test Yinhe is a bit unfair, but don't worry, there will be a lot of opportunities in the future, and I will definitely do it when the time comes. Build something that will make flying exciting and exciting for you.”

Li Xiangnan couldn't help but said: "Really?!"

Shen Ye quickly patted Li Xiangnan's back gently with his hand. Only then did Li Xiangnan realize his rudeness, so he quickly changed his words:

"It takes unyielding talent to be able to become the first Chinese pilot to fly a tilt-rotor aircraft. No one else can envy you!"

"Haha, you are quite good at finding reasons..."
