Qiu Daoyuan naturally knew that the problem was the lack of firepower, but drones had very special attributes.
First, multi-functionality.
Some drones were for civilian use. For example, Dajiang of the Dragon Country was widely used on the battlefield.
However, its use was subversive. A drone that cost less than 10,000 yuan could detect a large area of enemy defenses.
There was also an accurate rangefinder on the drone. This data was transmitted back to the rear, allowing the traditional artillery to open up a full view.
For example, on the previous battlefield, there had been many cases of howitzers accurately anti-tank.
In the past, the artillery was a ranged attack, but with the drones, the howitzers could accurately hit the tanks under the observation of the drones. This was subversive.
[Second point: To observe and fight as one, destroy as soon as you discover it.]
The drones in front of them were only the simplest civilian drones, but they could already cause such an effect.
Several big countries on the Blue Star had also developed drones that cost millions to tens of millions.
This type of drone could destroy ground targets as soon as it found them. It carried ground bombs and anti-tank missiles, which were extremely powerful.
For example, the Dragon Country's One Dragon, Rainbow, and Eagle's Predator belonged to this category.
In the past few conflicts, it had shown a subversive effect.
As long as it hit a valuable target once, the drone would be worth it. If it could carry out multiple missions without being destroyed, it would be a huge profit.
Third point: Asymmetrical price-performance ratio
Nowadays, drones were almost cheap.
Of course, this had to exclude a few high-altitude drones, such as Yingchan's Global Hawk, which was priced at 200 million US dollars, but this drone had never been shot down.
When he was shot down in the Central Plains, he had been careless and had lost his position.
The price of most drones was completely out of proportion to the destructive damage they could cause.
The most obvious was the suicide drone, commonly known as a small motorcycle. Because the power of this drone was the motorcycle engine, the difficulty of building it was almost equal to having hands.
It cost about 50,000 Dragon Coins each and was a one-time consumable.
However, if they hit a tank, it would cause tens of millions of enemy casualties.
It could also charge into the bunker on the ground, into the artillery position, and become a terrifying ghost.
One was intercepted? Then how are you going to intercept 10 or 100 of them?
Nowadays, the mainstream price of intercepting drone missiles was between 200,000 to 2 million dollars.
Once a war broke out between the big countries, if the military strength was equal, then most of the time, the battle would be economic strength.
If one side used 50,000 items to consume millions or even tens of millions of military targets, how could they fight this war?
It was because of this that countries began to develop droid swarms, preparing to win in future battles in an unbalanced way.
Therefore, the anti-drone method must be done: High efficiency, accuracy, and low cost. Otherwise, it would be meaningless.
"If I'm not wrong, your biggest technical problem should be in terms of cheapness and accuracy.”Lu Ziye said.
Qiu Daoyuan nodded." That's right. Increasing accuracy means increasing the cost of technology. Nowadays, drones are becoming smaller and smaller. The requirements for radar recognition and hit probability are getting higher and higher. It's not without reason that air defense and air defense are almost impossible.”
"Why don't I give it a try and come up with a plan for you to take a look?”Lu Ziye asked tentatively.
"Hahaha, that's exactly what I want. I also think that if we continue to follow your idea of the anti-firecracker interception device, there will be great achievements. I'll wait for your good news. Oh right, by the way, it's best to develop a foreign trade version. You know, the Dragon Country also wants to occupy the military trade market now. Those oil countries in the Central Plains are very rich. At the same time, this is also the best way to test the performance of equipment in actual combat.”
Lu Ziye nodded. The so-called foreign trade version was a castrated version of the self-use version. Its performance was slightly reduced, and the core technology was encrypted to make money to maintain the project's further development.
"Alright, I'll try my best!"
"You already have a ready-made idea. How long will it take for you to come up with a plan so that I can approve it as soon as possible?”
"About half a month!" Lu Ziye tried his best to give a longer time.
Who knew that Qiu Daoyuan would look at Lu Ziye as if he had seen a ghost. Then, he returned to normal and nodded,""Good, good, good!"
Qiu Daoyuan smiled as he watched Lu Ziye walk towards his lab.""He's still young and inexperienced. I'll be happy if I can come out in three months. It's okay.”
Qiu Daoyuan was blowing a tune as he walked towards his research lab. On the way, he saw someone and couldn't help but frown.
An old man walked up to them. He was in high spirits. This person was the leader of the drone project. Zhou Jun's recently developed " Crimson " drone cluster had become famous in the industry.
Even Old Qiu had to admit that hundreds of suicide drones could be launched in one minute. They could be launched from the air, from the ground, or even dropped to the combat team for individual use.
These drones were like ghosts, exploding on sight. They even had Face Recognition and could complete beheading operations. They were too difficult to deal with.
Previously, the anti-drone system he had researched had a simulated confrontation with Scarlet, and the result made Qiu Daoyuan unable to sleep well for a month.
Not only could his anti-drone system not guarantee the absolute safety of the airspace, but it could also be broken through. Moreover, the battle loss ratio was 100 to 70.
In other words, his 100 intercepting missiles could only shoot down 70 drones.
As for the price of the intercepting missiles, he controlled it at 180,000 Dragon Dollars. However, the price of the drones was only 40,000 Dragon Dollars because of the mass production and low technical difficulty.
He had spent 18 million to get a 2.8 million item.
Moreover, the production speed of the other party was far faster than his own. In a real battlefield, the side that defended against air would be in an absolute passive position.
Zhou Jun greeted Qiu Daoyuan from afar.
" Old Qiu, Old Qiu, hehe, let's go play chess. Aiya, my drone cluster has just been praised by the head and is being mass-produced, leaving me with nothing to do. Life is really lonely like snow, unlike you, Old Qiu, who still works hard in the research lab every day. I'm so envious.”
Listen to this, listen to this, is this still human language?
" Get lost…" Old Qiu turned around and ran away. This person was here to humiliate others. He was too despicable.
"Eh? " You're anxious, you're anxious…" Zhou Jun laughed behind him until the wrinkles on his face were squeezed together. He was satisfied with Old Qiu's reaction.
These military tycoons had very few interests and hobbies. They only liked to compare and beat down their old comrades.
What he didn't know was that the tables had turned. Once Qiu Daoyuan gained the upper hand, he would be even more vicious than him!
…………
In the research room, the equipment and materials were very complete.
Lu Ziye called out to the system in his mind.
"New product project, project code: Mi Tian."
The so-called sky covered the entire sky.
Lu Ziye's plan was to make the intercept missiles extremely cheap and accurate!
If he couldn't make a decision, he would solve it with firepower!
