"The spider robot developed by the little brother can also conduct reconnaissance, but it is limited by power, so the full period of reconnaissance is only four hours, which is far from meeting our requirements. In addition, the spider robot The equipment is also relatively simple.”

Zhu Qian lit a cigarette and handed it to Wang Xiao. Wang Xiao waved his hand quickly, and then he continued.

"If you can develop a reconnaissance robot with all-day detection and equipped with various detection instruments, then we will pay you a lot of money, or a technology research and development award."

"Brother Zhu, it's not very important whether it's money or not. The main thing is that I think it's very meaningful to be able to help."

When Wang Xiao heard that there was a scientific and technological research and development reward, he immediately replied with a smile on his face, which made Zhu Qian a little dumbfounded.

"That's it, then this award will not talk about money, and I will directly issue you a certificate."

Hearing the battalion commander's words, Wang Xiao was impatient.

"No, no, the rewards still have to be given out, after all, they can motivate me."

Everyone at the scene laughed, and Wang Xiao was not embarrassed, and then continued.

"Brother Zhu, do you have any requirements for the shape? There are also things like size. It is very important to know the shape of a robot, because the shape determines the internal structure."

Battalion Commander Zhu nodded, then thought for a while, then took out the draft paper he carried with him and handed it to Wang Xiao.

Wang Xiao opened it and found that it contained a manuscript that had been more than half designed.

"This is our previous scientific research project, code-named: Hummingbird. Unfortunately, this research and development has been withdrawn halfway through, because the higher-ups feel that it will be very difficult to develop these things, and the technical difficulties have not been broken through."

Wang Xiao looked at the design draft, and felt that these people still had ideas, and it was still difficult to fully pack sophisticated machinery and electronic engineering into this small hummingbird-like machine.

Zhu Qian saw that Wang Xiao was studying this thing, and then continued to explain.

"I got this drawing from the hands of those scientific researchers, and I met little brother Wang Xiao, so I hope you can take a look. It would be great if you can make changes based on this prototype. If not, then Just ask little brother Wang Xiao to redesign a copy."

After Wang Xiao read it, he put away the design drawing. According to the progress of the project, they couldn't finish it at all, because some points were all wrong.

"How about little brother?"

Wang Xiao didn't answer him directly, but said to him.

"Should we make the things developed and sell them to you, or give you the blueprints directly?"

Wang Xiao had to figure this out.

"Of course you made it and sold it to us. Your company's factory equipment must be able to make such high-precision things. If you want us to do it, it may be very difficult."

Zhu Qian also knew what Wang Xiao was thinking, but what he said was the truth, because these robots must have a special factory for production, and if they were to produce them, they might not be able to make one in a day, and they would not be used if they were made. .

"That's good. I'll keep the design drawings first. I will spend a certain amount of time to help you complete this design, but the time is uncertain. It may be a few months or a year, or even a few years."

Wang Xiao didn't know how long it would take to design this one, but according to his estimation, it would take about half a year.

But he still said more, if he said less and failed to achieve the goal, wouldn't it be embarrassing.

"No problem, as long as little brother Wang Xiao can develop it, it will take as long as you like."

Hearing that Wang Xiao agreed, Zhu Qian felt relieved.

He was afraid that Wang Xiao would not agree. If Wang Xiao did not agree, he would have to find someone else, and it was impossible to force Wang Xiao to help him develop these things.

Following Battalion Commander Zhu to look around in this camp, Wang Xiao has gained a lot of insight.

Battalion Commander Zhu also told him some requirements.

Military reconnaissance equipment is different from general reconnaissance equipment. First of all, it must have a certain degree of concealment, so it is made in the shape of a hummingbird.

Originally they wanted to make them look like insects, but they didn't have the technology to squeeze so many precision parts into the bodies of small insects. It is estimated that there are very few people in the world who have this technology.

Some foreign companies have also produced scout bees, but these scout bees are very easy to distinguish, because they are very stiff, and their body shape is different from ordinary bees, so they are easy to be found.

Their hummingbird project was also abandoned because it was easy to spot when it was made.

So battalion commander Zhu has been emphasizing concealment for Wang Xiao.

In addition to concealment, it is the detection time. If it can only be detected for an hour or two, then its effect is not very great. Therefore, if it can be detected for half a day, or a whole day, then its role is very prominent.

There is also the most basic point, that is, reconnaissance performance, high-definition images and infrared rays, plus other reconnaissance equipment. It would be best if these can be carried. If not, at least high-definition images must be required.

Hearing that Battalion Commander Zhu had so many demands, Wang Xiao also felt a little troublesome. The rest is okay. After all, he is a master of basic machinery. He stuffed these things into the hummingbird's body completely, and then made its body structure more natural. It's not that difficult.

The most troublesome thing is the power system. You must know that it is different from ordinary vehicles burning gasoline and diesel. Such a small thing can almost only use electricity.

It's a pity that battery technology is still the bottleneck. Without a breakthrough, there is only so much power stored per unit density.

Therefore, Wang Xiao had to find a way to install multiple energy devices on the hummingbird, which would cost him a lot of brain cells, which was also the fundamental reason for spending a lot of time.

To study such a small thing, if energy is not counted, then it can be researched within a few months, but once energy density is counted, then half a year is considered a conservative estimate.

But he still has this confidence. Once this thing is researched, it will be of great significance, whether it is in terms of money or the protection that the military brings to him.

The visit took about a day, and Wang Xiao was kindly invited by Commander Zhu to spend the night in the camp that night. What choice did he have? The other party didn't send him back, he didn't just spend the night here.

After dinner, he chatted with Zhu battalion commander again, and then Wang Xiao went to sleep in the temporary tent built for him.

But one night, he was woken up three times. It seemed that some simulated training was going on in the camp, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
