"Hello, is this Mr. Su Heng?"
Just arrived at Star River Tech Industrial Park, Su Heng has not yet entered the gate, a figure is already facing him.
"It's me," Su Heng nodded slightly, responding to the unfamiliar middle-aged man in front of him.
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man smiled and introduced himself, "Hello, Mr. Su. I'm Chen Yue, the director of the Ministry of National Defense for the Defense Industry."
Meanwhile, the middle-aged man raised his right hand and extended it towards Su Heng.
Upon hearing this, Su Heng seemed to be deep in thought.
Combining everything that had happened before, Su Heng began to vaguely understand the purpose of the military's visit...
"Director Chen, good to meet you."
In an instant, Su Heng's thoughts flashed past. Facing the hand that the middle-aged man extended, he also reached out and shook hands with him in a polite manner.
Seeing this, Chen Yue smiled slightly and continued, "Mr. Su, may we speak in private?"
"Yes," Su Heng nodded slightly, not refusing.
Later, under the guidance of Lu Yansong, the group came directly to an independent office in the Star River Technology Industrial Park.
Upon entering the office, Chen Yue gestured slightly and then those who followed him directly turned around and left.
Lu Yansong cast a glance at Su Heng, who nodded slightly. Lu Yansong then turned around and left as well.
It wasn't long before the office was left with only Su Heng and Chen Yue.
Once everyone left, Chen Yue did not beat around the bush but directly addressed the matter at hand:
"Mr. Su, as a soldier, I won't beat around the bush. The reason for our visit is to discuss the twin-tailed drone under your Star River Technology."
"Given the uniqueness of the twin-tailed drone, we hope Mr. Su will withdraw this drone product, as well as the bio-recognition helmet and bio-recognition related technologies. We don't know if Mr. Su is willing to do so?"
Upon hearing this, Su Heng understood.
As he had expected, it seems that the military is here again, just like before, to discuss his products.
However——
"Director Chen, are these drones advanced? Can they be considered strategic materials?"
Su Heng suddenly opened his mouth to ask Chen Yue.
Su Heng could understand the blocking index and carbon fiber before.
But the drones, as far as he knew, the National Defense Army should have their own military drones. Although due to the secrecy within the National Defense Army, he wasn't aware of the specific parameters of their drones, he figured they couldn't be any worse than his civilian drones.
What level is his drone?
Not even supersonic speed, using the propeller engine from the last century that was already obsolete, can be used for military purposes?
Use it as a target for missiles?
Su Heng is not very knowledgeable about military affairs. He has limited time, and his focus is mainly on his large-scale industry, where he spends most of his time on business matters and researching. He is often so busy that he doesn't even have time to eat properly, let alone pay attention to other things.
In his concept, fighters and other aircraft are directly supersonic, racing through the sky and competing with missiles in intelligence.
And warships are also grand and formidable, launching missiles in a relentless barrage during battles.
They are completely on a different level from civilian products...
"…"
In front of Su Heng, upon hearing Su Heng's question, Chen Yue fell silent.
For a moment, he didn't know how to answer Su Heng.
After a long time, Chen Yue finally recovered.
He roughly figured out that although Su Heng is a prodigy in business and scientific research,
However, when it comes to military affairs, he seems to be a complete beginner.
Give Su Heng a gun, and he probably wouldn't know how to use it...
Connecting this to the vast empire under Su Heng's command, Chen Yue also understood. With such a heavy responsibility on Su Heng's shoulders, he must be busy running from one company to another, and from one research institute to another every day. If someone with less ability were in his position, they might not even have enough time for a magic trick.
Su Heng's achievement in just ten years to reach this level can only be described as a monster.
If he knew military affairs as well as everything else, he would not be a prodigy but a monster.
Let alone, many military information is classified and confidential.
If Su Heng knew, they would suspect that there might be problems within the organization or that Su Heng might have something to hide...
Thinking about this, Chen Yue slowly opened his mouth: "Mr. Su, I think you might have some misunderstandings about our military products."
Pausing for a moment, Chen Yue continued, "Our military products are advanced, but not everything is beyond civilian scope. For example, chips."
"At present, the process of civilian-grade chips has reached the level of 28 nanometers, but the military chip is still at 90 nanometers, even 120 nanometers or even 200 nanometers!"
"Using the most advanced F-22 Raptor stealth fighter by the White Eagle as an example, their F-22 Raptor fighter uses a 90nm-level chip..."
"In other words, many civilian products have now actually surpassed military standards..."
Upon hearing this, Su Heng seemed to be deep in thought.
At this time, Chen Yue continued:
"In terms of drones, while our military drones are advanced and indeed far ahead of the civilian field, this was all in the past..."
"Now, your Star River Technology's drones have broken this rule..."
At this point, Chen Yue paused.
After looking at Su Heng, he pondered for a moment before continuing:
"There are some things you might not know, the world's most advanced military drone at present is the American's Reaper, and its actual specifications can be said to be far inferior to your twin-tailed drone, even surpassing it!"
"Let's not talk about other data, but in key data, without air refueling replenishment, the actual maximum range of the Reaper drone is only 4000 kilometers, while your twin-tailed drone has achieved an astonishing 8000 kilometers!"
"The actual maximum endurance of the Reaper drone is only 27 hours, the maximum speed is 444 kilometers per hour, and the maximum payload is only 1360 kilograms. In contrast, your twin-tailed drone has an amazing endurance of 30 hours! The maximum speed reaches supersonic speeds! And the maximum payload exceeds 13 tons!"
"Mr. Su, do you know what this means?"
By the end of his explanation, Chen Yue's gaze became slightly intense.
And at this moment, Su Heng fell into silence.
Knowing these parameters, Su Heng had pretty much understood the reason for it.
"So, what is this Reaper drone? Garbage?"
Su Heng couldn't help but sigh.
He had previously thought that military products were all advanced, especially fighter jets. Supersonic speed was quite normal, wasn't it?
In this era, can't even reach supersonic speed, can still be called a fighter jet?
Yet, he didn't expect that the Reaper of the White Eagle, named so grandly, had a maximum speed of only 400 kilometers per hour, a maximum range only half of that of the twin-tailed drone, and a payload only one-tenth of that of the twin-tailed drone.
That's not garbage what is it? It's completely a waste of the name 'Reaper'!
These parameters are even worse than the initial design of the twin-tailed drone he had thrown to the corner to collect dust...
The initial twin-tailed drone he had thrown into the corner had a payload of 2.5 tons!
Let alone, there were also the second and third generation designs collecting dust at the same time...
"I should have changed the name of the twin-tailed drone to something like 'Eastown', 'Diyun', or 'Zhuque'. It's not too much to change it from 'Reaper' to something else, right?"
While Su Heng was voicing his discontent,
Upon hearing Su Heng's complaint, Chen Yue's mouth twitched slightly.
He was completely silenced by Su Heng's words.
