"Good guy, there is indeed an inside story!"

Everyone was laughing and joking.

In fact, everyone doesn't care, or in other words, they know it very well.

If you spend four million dollars on an aircraft model club, it would be nonsense to say that you don’t have any inside information, okay?

Lu Yiming looked around with a smile and said: "During this period, I do have some ideas in my mind, and what I value is the professionalism of everyone in the Model Aircraft Club. The reason why I want to be the president of the Model Aircraft Club is to lead everyone

, design and manufacture an intelligent unmanned aerial vehicle."

"Intelligent unmanned aerial vehicle?"

"Damn it, President, are you really planning to build a plane?"

"This is so exciting!"

Lu Yiming took out a few drawings from his bag and said with a smile: "It's just a plane, there's nothing to fuss about. Look, this is the drone I designed."

The drawings that Lu Yiming took out were based on a certain model of DJI aircraft and were drawn using drawing software based on memory.

Yang Shu took a look and blurted out: "President, isn't this a smaller version of a quadcopter? Someone had already done this seventy or eighty years ago, and it has been proven to be a failure."

It turns out that as early as 1920, the French designed the first prototype of a quadcopter, but it failed on its first attempt to fly.

After being redesigned, the aircraft took off in 1924 and set a world record in the helicopter field at that time.

Unfortunately, in the following decades, the development of multi-rotor aircraft was extremely slow due to extremely poor engine performance.

It wasn't until 1956 that the first true quadcopter "Vertawing Model A" designed by DMAN achieved great success in its test flight. The aircraft weighed one ton and relied on two 90-horsepower engines to achieve hovering and maneuvering.

The control of the aircraft is achieved by changing the thrust of the main rotor.

However, because operating this aircraft was too onerous and the aircraft could not compete with traditional aircraft in terms of speed, load capacity, endurance, etc., people lost interest in further research and the research was forced to stop.

Lu Yiming really doesn't know much about these things, but Chen Qingfeng and Yang Shu are both professional model airplanes, so they are very familiar with the technical routes of aircraft.

Feng Yuan even more bluntly advised: "President, the biggest problem with your aircraft is actually that the four engines cannot be effectively coordinated, and the balance of the flight will be very poor. If you want to make the aircraft fly, just

This problem must be solved.”

"So the president wants to do this? It's not my fault, president, I think this may not be possible."

"This thing is a big problem. Many big names in the industry have thought about doing it, but no one has succeeded."

When it comes to the prospects of UAVs, Lu Yiming certainly knows better than anyone else. But these model aircraft are old and they don’t know how many ways they have to surpass Lu Yiming in terms of professionalism.

There is no doubt that what Lu Yiming came up with disappointed everyone. They all felt that this matter could not be done, and there were already so many lessons learned, so it was a proper "sunset industry."

But only Lu Yiming knows how big the future drone market will be and how scary its commercial potential is.

If nothing else, let’s talk about DJI.

The company was founded in 2006.

In 2020, the market value exceeded 100 billion.

In 2022, the market value exceeded 166 billion.

In just two years, it has grown by 60 billion. Even the United States can only hold its nose and place orders, making money very hard.

Therefore, in the face of everyone's doubts, Lu Yiming did not waver in his ideas, but insisted: "Technology is developing forward. It couldn't be done before because the technology was immature, not because there was anything wrong with the project itself."

"Isn't the research on MEMS micro-electromechanical systems quite mature recently? Mems inertial navigation systems weighing only a few grams are already ready for use. I think the conditions are ripe for making automatic controllers for multi-rotor aircraft."

Chen Qingfeng still shook his head and gave his suggestion: "This technology alone is not enough. The quad-rotor drone you described requires not only hardware technology, but also software technology. Only by combining the two can it be possible.

, there are too many technical difficulties in it, and it’s not that easy to succeed.”

Lu Yiming smiled and said: "If you have difficulties, solve them. Only by doing anything can you see the hope of success, instead of waiting until you see hope before doing it. Hope can never wait, and opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared.

people."

Chen Qingfeng curled his lips: "This will cost a lot of money, and it may not yield results after several years of investment. We are just students. Playing with model airplanes is a hobby. How can we do this as our main job?"

"Why not?"

Lu Yiming looked at him seriously, and then his eyes fell on everyone in the aircraft model club one by one: "I have plenty of money. Now whoever is willing to join this project, I will pay you your salary, I will provide the research and development funds, and the treatment will ensure that everyone is satisfied. In the initial stage,

Is investing five million enough? If it’s not enough, I can always add more. It doesn’t matter if I don’t get results within three to five years, I can afford to wait.”

"Holy shit, are you serious?"

Chen Qingfeng didn't know for a while whether there was something wrong with his ears or Lu Yiming's brain.

At first it was five million?

If you haven't seen anything yet, is it equivalent to Lu Yiming just throwing 10 million into it?

Do you want to be so awesome?

Lu Yiming said with a smile: "Through this model aircraft competition, I can see that everyone has a good technical foundation. The key is to really like model aircraft, which is rare. Instead of worrying about where to find a job after graduating from college, you may not really like it.

If you have a job, why not find a way to start a business in the field you like?"

"Start a business?"

After hearing these two words, classmates, you look at me and I look at you, and you feel a little moved in your heart.

Entrepreneurship is certainly easy to say, but it is very difficult to actually do it. Moreover, you also face the risk of failure, which is far from being as easy and comfortable as finding a company to work after graduation. Anyway, just work.

You get paid, and all risks are borne by the boss.

Lu Yiming continued to lie: "Yes, don't you want to become industry leaders and technological innovators? After all, you are the proud ones who got into Furi University on your own merits. You don't even have this spirit, right? Besides, you are the proud ones who got into Furi University on your own merits.

It’s better that I provide money to support your research and development.”

Young people are good at everything, but they can't stand this kind of provocation. We are all the proud sons of heaven, why should we be ridiculed by you?

"Okay! Since you said so, President Lu, then I, Chen Qingfeng, will risk my life to accompany you, so I will follow!"

Chen Qingfeng was about to graduate. He had to find a job after graduation anyway, so he decided to give it a try with Lu Yiming. If he succeeded, he would be the best in the future. Even if he didn't succeed, he would still be able to get one or two years' salary. Why?

It’s not a loss at all!

"I'm following too!"

"And me!"

I can get paid while I'm still in college, and I'm also working on my favorite airplane model, so there's no reason why I shouldn't agree.

Lu Yiming smiled and nodded, and said: "That's right. We are all young people. What do you mean by looking forward and backward? I plan to set up a company called Xuanniao UAV. It is named after "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", which is Beihai.

The divine bird on Youdu Mountain is the messenger of heaven, and it is also my expectation for everyone, we must conquer the sky!"

Then, in the name of the president, he began to order tasks to Chen Qingfeng and others: "You are responsible for the design and manufacturing of the drone, and I will lead the team to research the flight control system."

We have already said this, we are all passionate young people, so why should we hesitate?

"Ah, I don't know why, but I'm already excited. I really didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to design an airplane by myself!"

"Yes, and it's a commercial aircraft. I've never thought about this before."

"The president is very courageous."

Lu Yiming smiled and said: "Okay, stop flattering us. Now that we're done talking about business, let's have a meal and a drink. After all, we won the championship and let's have a celebration party!"

Chen Qingfeng opened a bottle of Wuliangye and said: "I would like to propose a toast to the president first. Without his input, we would never be able to win this championship."

"You're right, President Lu, I'd like to toast you with this glass!"

After a glass of white wine, many people are so excited that they shake their heads.

After all, this kind of highly concentrated liquor is really too strong for young people who don’t drink alcohol.

Chen Qingfeng filled up the wine for everyone again and said: "With this second glass, I wish our Black Bird Drone a good start and smooth sailing!"

"Dry!"
Chapter completed!
