A Maybach on a rainy night? Talk to my Levadin!

Zhao Zizhan's voice softened a bit, and he tapped the remote control on the console with his knuckles. "Pick it up and treat it like an air combat game in an arcade. Just follow the steps and complete the process."

At this very moment, a panel appeared right in front of Lu Mingfei.

[Mission: Control a quadcopter drone]

【Step 1: Complete basic flight control】

"Distinguished judges"

"It is a great honor to introduce the project team's work, which consists of myself, algorithm designer Chu Zihang, environmental perception engineer Xia Mi, and core operator Lu Mingfei—a small quadcopter unmanned work platform, which we call 'Monster'."

"The monster's dimensions are: width 94.5cm, length 94.5cm, height 41cm; maximum takeoff weight 14.9kg; maximum single-shaft thrust 4.1kg; 36cm carbon fiber propellers; coaxial twin-propeller configuration."

"It has a built-in four-eye vision positioning and attitude measurement system as the monster's eyes. After our system optimization, it can automatically display the obstacle images on the route on the operating platform."

"Simply filling in the data is too broad. Let's now perform a basic flight exercise to demonstrate the monster's performance."

Lu Mingfei felt all eyes on his back, burning hot. He took a deep breath, his fingertips trembling slightly as they touched the remote control, the cool plastic casing covered in a thin layer of sweat.

The moment Lu Mingfei pushed his thumb onto the control stick, the drone's propellers began to hum, gradually turning from a faint buzzing sound into a deep roar. The airflow stirred up dust from the ground, forming small vortices around the drone. Under Lu Mingfei's control, the drone began to move forward, backward, climb, land, turn, fly freely in the air, and finally land.

"The monster has a maximum takeoff weight of 14.9 kg, a maximum single-shaft thrust of 4.1 kg, 36 cm carbon fiber blades, and adopts a coaxial twin-propeller configuration."

"Its powerful propulsion allows it to fly quickly in the air, and also enables it to handle some emergency situations."

"Please look at the big screen."

The moment everyone turned their heads, the main screen suddenly switched to a drone view. The ground in the scene was receding rapidly, the texture of the asphalt road surface was clearly visible, and a black sedan was driving thirty meters ahead, its license plate zoomed in for a close-up.

"Through the visual sensing system, the monster can accurately locate the enemy... vehicle rescue target in an accident, and quickly approach to deliver critical supplies." On the large screen, the drone footage approached the Volvo that was in motion at a very fast speed, hovering steadily above the Volvo's roof, less than half a meter away from the sunroof.

Everyone present, whether experts or students, looked puzzled. Who would want to chase people and cars with a helicopter for no reason?

"Thanks to its carbon fiber structure, the Yokai is extremely lightweight, allowing it to carry a variety of equipment and perform diverse tasks."

Chu Zihang bent down and placed a black cylindrical object under the drone, the metal buckle clicking into place.

"The carbon fiber structure of the whole machine makes it lightweight enough to carry a 9-kilogram load."

He pointed to the cylinder that appeared on the screen, "This is a fire extinguishing bomb. The 'monster' can take off without obstacles, reach the fire point ten stories high within thirty seconds, and return after precise deployment."

"Look, the monster can carry up to 9 kilograms of fire extinguishing bombs and take off without obstacles, quickly reach the target location, and drop the fire extinguishing bombs to put out the fire. This means that firefighters no longer need to climb shaky ladders or rush into the smoke-filled fire scene. Even forest fires on cliffs can be reached in the first time. The monster can even handle situations where it cannot reach the scene immediately due to complex terrain."

The experts looked even stranger. Is this right...? It seems right... but it also seems wrong?

"Finally, the monster's flight control algorithm gives it extremely high hovering stability. Even if it is subjected to lateral impact, it can automatically return to center within 0.3 seconds, making it very suitable for all kinds of photographers." Chu Zihang then hung a long, black lens under the drone. The drone hovered very stably in mid-air, with a long, black tube extending from below.

Expert: "666, it's so salty it's almost unpalatable."

Chapter 140 Drone Demonstration (Part Two)

Before they arrived, the experts had high expectations for Zhao Zizhan and his team's presentation, but they weren't particularly interested.

It sounds contradictory, but in reality, the experts had confidence in the paper itself, but doubted Zhao Zizhan and his team's practical abilities.

Everyone acknowledges Zhao Zizhan's research capabilities.

The experts wholeheartedly endorsed the paper; its unique insights and systematic thinking, revealed between the lines, are undoubtedly a bright spot in the current stage of China's drone industry, which is still in its infancy.

The domestic drone industry is still in its infancy. The Rainbow series drones are generally around four meters in size, and the small quadcopter drone market is a largely untapped area.

Currently, the most advanced is the American Draganflyer IV series drone.

Even some teachers don't fully understand the theoretical aspects of these drones. With information being blocked, how few people can become experts entirely through self-study?

Most people linger outside the door of this field for a long time, only able to sigh in vain. Even if they manage to squeeze in, they often fail to grasp the essentials and find it difficult to make a breakthrough.

Against this backdrop, Zhao Zizhan's systematic explanation of drone R&D theory, built almost from scratch, was like a guiding light in the darkness for everyone present, giving them hope for a breakthrough in China's drone industry. Therefore, their anticipation was genuine; they hoped this theory would bring even more surprises.

However, theoretical foundation and practical implementation are two different things. Everyone has already seen Zhao Zizhan's information last night. His family background is good, but he is by no means the young master of one of the major families who can mobilize a huge amount of resources, nor is he one of the second-generation members in the core circle who can easily obtain top resources.

14400

From resource allocation to actual processing and then to pilot testing, the difficulties behind this series of steps are no less than those of research.

Everyone already had a clear idea of ​​what to expect. They thought that as long as Zhao Zizhan and his team could take off smoothly and handle the plane properly without any major mistakes, the first prize in this competition would be a foregone conclusion. After all, their theoretical foundation alone was enough to crush their competitors.

To their utter surprise, Zhao Zizhan gave them such a big surprise.

It boasts exceptional handling capabilities, stable hovering in the air, and most importantly, a maximum takeoff weight of 14 kg and a payload capacity of 9 kg! This determines its ability to perform a wide range of tasks!

With its long battery life, high maneuverability, and high payload capacity, this drone, nicknamed "Monster," has demonstrated quality and performance that are ready for mass production! It's not just a matter of "being able to fly" or "looking decent"; it's a truly mature product with practical value and market potential.

But the surprises didn't end there; the demonstration on stage continued.

"After briefly demonstrating the individual performance of the Yokai drone, I would like to show you another feature of the Yokai drone: a drone swarm matrix based on a self-organizing network."

Lu Mingfei turned on the computer beside him, and as his fingers tapped on the keyboard, a complex control interface appeared on the screen. Under his precise control, the eight monster drones took off simultaneously in perfect unison, like soldiers responding to commands.

"As everyone knows, in many disaster scenarios, such as geological disasters like floods and earthquakes, our rescue workers often find it difficult to penetrate deep into the disaster area to carry out rescue operations in a timely manner. The harsh road conditions in the disaster area make it difficult for rescue workers to move forward, and it is also difficult to accurately ascertain the specific situation inside the disaster area in a timely manner, which brings great difficulties to the rescue work."

"But with the 'Monster,' everything will be different. The 'Monster' has a maximum endurance of up to three hours. Its built-in terrain sensor can accurately perform takeoff and landing tasks, and it has both manual flight and automatic navigation functions. It can carry professional measurement software to quickly scan the disaster area, plan the optimal route, and achieve grid-like flight to cover every corner of the disaster area in all directions."

"With a swarm matrix, we can achieve more drone operational effects with fewer operators."

Under Lu Mingfei's control, the drones formed various flight formations in the air. The transitions between each formation were smooth and natural, without any sluggishness, demonstrating a strong ability to coordinate.

"By equipping different payload modules, a drone swarm can simultaneously complete multiple tasks such as supply delivery, site observation, information transmission, and survivor unit marking."

Zhao Zizhan projected the design of the rail clips below the monster and some designs of devices that could be mounted onto the large screen.

"Imagine, in a disaster area, some drones are responsible for delivering food and medicine to trapped people, some drones transmit real-time images of the disaster area to the command center to understand the situation, some drones act as communication relay stations to ensure the smooth flow of information, and some drones use special marking equipment to mark the location of survivors. The drones will become our rescuers' best partners in complex disaster areas, providing them with the most powerful support."

"At the same time, the 'Monster' also supports high and low beams and downward-facing supplementary lighting, which can ensure operational safety even in the darkest night and allow rescue work to proceed without time constraints."

"Due to the limited conditions on site, many more complex functions cannot be demonstrated one by one. That concludes my presentation. I welcome questions from all the judges."

After a brief silence, the scene erupted in gasps of amazement.

"Wow, that's awesome! What am I even doing?! I'm jumping!"

"Dude, where did you get here? Am I at No. 7 Middle School? Isn't this something only the Chinese Academy of Sciences could produce?"

"To be honest, everyone's complaining, but I'm the only one who genuinely wants to buy it."

"Who wouldn't want to buy it? This thing is fucking cool!"

To the untrained eye, the students and spectators at No. 7 Middle School were simply amazed by the drones on the field, thinking they were unbelievably cool. But the contestants participating in the science and technology innovation competition felt utterly powerless in the face of these drones. They had all agreed that it would be a battle of wits, a clash of titans, but now they suddenly realized that the drones were actually space carriers, and that even an aircraft carrier is still a ship.

How does this work?

"You're unbeatable in terms of range and load capacity, buddy," the guy from Wudaokou said with a wry smile, shaking his head. "Their algorithm has probably pushed attitude control to its limits."

One contestant simply packed up his work, shaking his head and saying, "How can we play with this? Our stuff is like toys in front of this drone."

The atmosphere that was originally one of eager anticipation and preparation for the award was instantly replaced by a sense of helplessness, like the saying "Why did fate create both Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang?"

"Bro, what else is there to say? You can have the championship, right?"

"I can't take it anymore, I'm going to buy fake alcohol for my dad."

"Look at you, acting on emotion again."

The judges, on the other hand, had much more to see. Each of them had a lot of questions to ask, from the code architecture of the flight control system to the selection of fuselage materials. They wished they could immediately pull the two young men into the laboratory for a detailed discussion.

Those who are a little more resourceful have already started thinking about how to recruit people.

Chapter 141 Departure.

The senior scholars present had a lot of questions to ask, but this was clearly against the rules. The Youth Innovation Competition is still a competition, and everyone's presentation time is limited.

Turning a defense into a product launch is already outrageous; if it were to turn into a public lecture as well, would the competition even be able to continue?

Therefore, although everyone was in a hurry, they still had to consider the experience of the other participating students and the authority of the competition, so they did not question Zhao Zizhan and the others for too long.

After returning to the hotel, Lu Mingfei felt as if he had just woken up from a dream.

"Is this the end?"

Lu Mingfei muttered to himself in the hotel lobby.

Zhao Zizhan answered calmly.

"Yes, it's over. All that's left is to wait for the results."

"So simple?"

Lu Mingfei opened his mouth, gesturing with his hand in mid-air as if trying to grab something, "I thought... I thought..."

The words caught in my throat, leaving only fragments of emotion swirling there.

Seeing his expression, Zhao Zizhan couldn't help but smirk, a wry smile on his lips: "What did you think? We came here, were provoked by some roadside thugs, then mocked us, saying they were sure to win, and then when we got to the scene, everyone was pessimistic and made all sorts of sarcastic remarks. In the end, we amazed everyone with our skills and gave those thugs a good slap in the face?"

"Senior brother, you're so knowledgeable!" Lu Mingfei exclaimed in amazement.

"You know nothing."

Zhao Zizhan reached out and tapped him on the forehead. "Your most important task right now is to read less online novels!"

Lu Mingfei chuckled twice, covering his forehead. Just as he was about to say something, Zhao Zizhan continued, "Take advantage of the time to rest and play for a couple more days. We still have a lot to do after this."

"Still busy?"

His eyes widened instantly, and the slight relief he had felt earlier vanished in an instant. "Didn't you say it was over?"

"The match is over, but the matter isn't over yet..."

"What is it?"

You'll find out soon enough.

……

The Youth Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition generally does not involve media on-site filming. Each participating project may contain undisclosed technical details, or even patent prototypes that could change the industry landscape. The media's cameras will undoubtedly tear open the protective shield of these ideas. In previous years, at most, only staff members arranged by the organizing committee used ordinary cameras to record the process for internal archiving.

Soon, Zhao Zizhan's video was recorded.

The video was sent directly to the General Staff Department, and Beihang University and Harbin Institute of Technology watched it together.

This time, it wasn't just researchers who were doing the technical work who were watching.

"Lu Mang, a native of Shilan City, whose real name is Chu Zihang. He has topped the city's unified examination list for three consecutive years. His resume as the student council president is filled with awards—a gold medal in the National Mathematical Olympiad, a star player in the local children's palace kendo hall, a level 10 cellist... The latest physical fitness test report shows that his 100-meter speed is 0.8 seconds faster than the national second-level athlete standard."

"Zhao Zizhan, child of a martyr. His file contains a faded black-and-white photograph of his grandfather in military uniform. Before the summer vacation, his grades were hovering in the middle of the grade. In July, he suddenly applied to the school for the right to use the science and technology innovation laboratory. Within two months, he submitted seventeen versions of algorithm improvement plans, three of which were ready to apply for invention patents."

Xia Mi, a native of Beijing, ranked first in the national junior high school entrance examination. Both her parents are deceased, and she receives the top scholarship at Shilan Middle School.

"Lu Mingfei, a native of Shilan City, was adopted by his uncle Lu Gucheng's family after his parents went away on an archaeological expedition. Recently, it has been reported that Lu Gucheng's family is suspected of illegally appropriating the child support payments his parents made to Lu Mingfei, and the matter is currently under legal investigation..."

Soon, a detailed profile of the individuals was placed on the desk of the key person.

"This group is truly remarkable; everyone in it possesses extraordinary skills..."

Some people shook their heads and clicked their tongues as they looked at the documents.

"This isn't just a student group, it's practically an alliance of top talents!" A major general exclaimed, flipping through the documents. He specifically pulled out Lu Mingfei's file and placed it separately on the table, pointing to the label "single-time control of eight drones" and saying, "Eight drones coordinated, how did this kid train to that?"

Those in the know understand the difficulty of operating drones. The ability of one person to simultaneously control eight drones and make each perform its function is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"With a majestic and auspicious appearance, exceptional intelligence, extraordinary talent, and standing out from the crowd..."

The white-haired Chief of the General Staff suddenly spoke up, "Have you noticed that these four people all have one thing in common in their files?"

"You mean..."

The lieutenant general beside him sharpened his eyes.

"pretty close."

"Everyone says that cattle and sheep travel in herds, while wild beasts always roam alone. How come these guys have teamed up?"

“That’s a small matter,” said one of the elderly men, putting down the documents.

"It's a rare sight to see a golden phoenix emerge from a pheasant's nest; this is truly a significant event."

"Everyone, we need to hurry. Now that we know the news, those mixed-race families must know it too, and they'll definitely send people to contact these children..."

"Time is running out..."
