Chapter 527 Debugging the Drone

The fans' shouting puzzled other tourists at the airport. After all, not everyone had watched Wang Yang's live broadcast, and they thought it was some little celebrity sitting in the car.

Just as Wang Yang got into the car, an emergency meeting was being held in a conference room of the Israeli Ministry of Defense. Defense Minister Messef looked at the people in the meeting and felt a headache.

"General Johnson from the United States just called us. They repeatedly warned us not to sell the drone to Wang Yang. What do you think about this?" After Meserve finished speaking, he glanced at the officers below. They had different expressions and were all thinking in their minds.

The Heron TD drone that Wang Yang wanted to buy this time was a commercial model that had not yet been qualified for production at the Ham factory.

That is to say, in addition to the military models used in military, Heron TD UAV is also developing more types, such as commercial and civilian ones.

These ideas were originally good, but the development of the military version had already consumed a lot of manpower and material resources. When the commercial version was first launched, it was ridiculed and slandered by an expert from the United States.

The expert even cried out to the world that the commercial Heron TD drone was very dangerous, had unsafe parameters, and involved privacy issues.

After this expert's call, some American investors refused to invest in the commercial version of the Heron TD drone, resulting in the complete failure of the project.

Just as commercial drones were about to be sold for cash, the engineering team began to fall apart.

Some experts encountered car accidents on their way home for no apparent reason; one expert encountered a plane crash while visiting his daughter out of town; there was even one expert who died in a fire while sitting at home.

All these things show that this is not a coincidence at all. Defense Secretary Meserve has been dealing with the United States for many years, and he can roughly guess who did this and who wanted to give them a warning.

"Meserve, I'm sorry, I think we should really think about this matter carefully. After all, the Americans are the ones who can give us financial and technical support. Are we going to trust a kid from the East?" An official showed disdain on his face and shook his head and said, "This kid is not an expert at all, he is just a clown who is trying to attract attention. The one who does fancy things on the live broadcast on his mobile phone every day is just a waste who can only shout and has no ambition."

Other officials in the meeting room also started to talk about it jokingly. Although most of them were indifferent and mocking towards Wang Yang, some officials were more optimistic about Wang Yang and were more repulsive to the US.

"Minister Meserve, I think we should carefully consider Wang Yang's matter. The commercialization of the Heron TD UAV is a very important matter for the whole of Israel. As long as the commercial UAV can be successfully improved and sold, then Wang Yang will have helped us a lot!" said an official who supports Wang Yang.

Repairing a Heron TD drone is not a big deal. But the launch of the first commercial model means that it will bring hundreds of billions of dollars in military sales orders to Israel in the future. Hundreds of billions of dollars are not money that can be earned by just moving your fingers. This money requires countless workers and countless resources to exchange.

At this moment, as long as they reject the US's request and agree to sell several Heron TD drones to Wang Yang, the dawn of hope will be just around the corner.

Actually, this is not a difficult decision. The key lies in the answer of Defense Minister Meserve.

If they reject the United States, they may have problems in future negotiations on certain matters, and may even be sanctioned by the United States for some minor issues.

"We really need to think carefully about the future of orders worth hundreds of billions of dollars."

Meserve lit a cigar and took a deep puff. He rarely smoked cigars in the meeting room, and usually only smoked when making important decisions.

However, this time the decision is related to the rejection of the United States, and this decision obviously needs careful consideration.

At this moment, the phone on the table rang. The call was from the Hamm factory. Meserve reached out and pressed the hands-free button.

"Minister Meserve, Mr. Wang Yang and his friends have arrived at the Ham factory and are now visiting the drone warehouse." A voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I understand. Say hello to Mr. Wang Yang for me. But I can't see him for the next two days. Please understand, Mr. Wang Yang."

Meserve felt a little ashamed and postponed the matter for two days. He knew that he could not make a decision in one day.

At the Hamm factory, an engineer hung up the phone, pushed his glasses up on his nose, and shook his head slightly.

"It is obvious that he is still considering what the minister said." This engineer had communicated with Wang Yang before and told Wang Yang a lot about the current situation of the Ham factory.

At this time, he walked into the warehouse and saw Wang Yang already inspecting the dusty commercial version of the Heron TD drone.

This commercial drone has been modified to have more cargo space, but it also increased the weight of the aircraft.

Wang Yang held a blueprint in his hand, which showed the improved parts of the drone.

"Mr. Wang Yang, I just spoke with Defense Minister Mr. Meserve on the phone. Mr. Meserve said he couldn't come today, but he asked me to say hello to you." The engineer said to Wang Yang.

Wang Yang nodded without comment and continued to look at the drawings. He already knew that Meserve would not come so soon, but as long as the defense department discussed it, Wang Yang believed that Meserve would know who was more valuable.

Should they choose to succumb to the threat from the United States, or choose to cooperate with Wang Yang? I am afraid that they will choose the latter in the end. The elderly engineer looked up at the dusty drone and couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

"Mr. Wang Yang, are you sure you can re-adjust the parameters of this drone?" asked the engineer.

The last time the parameters were released, they were severely criticized by an American expert, and then several engineers had accidents.

This series of reasons means that the drones currently stored in the warehouse cannot be improved at all.

Wang Yang took the blueprint to the engineer and pointed at it. "As for safety issues, I think there are no safety issues with the Heron TD drone. At most, there are some minor discomforts."

"Especially for this modified commercial drone, its cargo capacity is too small. If this drone is used to carry cargo, I'm afraid it won't even cover the cost. How can this product be sold internationally?" Wang Yang continued.

In Wang Yang's view, it is entirely feasible to use drones to carry cargo, especially in the future. Wang Yang firmly believes that there will be more cargo drones in the sky.

"Apart from the drone's cargo carrying capacity, the current drone parameters are not suitable for carrying passengers. I think that if we want more people to truly accept this commercial drone, it would be best if it could have both cargo and passenger carrying functions." Wang Yang expressed his opinion.

Wang Yang had already made up his mind, but when he expressed this idea, the engineer was still a little surprised. The engineer touched the tip of his nose and was shocked by the idea of ​​the young man in front of him.

"In fact, our goal is to make drones capable of carrying people. In the future, there will be no need for a pilot, and drones will be able to carry tourists freely in the sky." Wang Yang said, "But the difference between carrying cargo and carrying people is too big. If we want to carry people, the adjustment of parameters will probably be huge."

The engineers knew this problem, and so did Wang Yang. However, Wang Yang already had a solution for the problem of parameter adjustment.

"Then let's wait here for another day to see what decision Minister Meserve will make in the end." Wang Yang said, "If he really doesn't intend to sell the drone to me, then I'll have to go home."

Wang Yang never likes to passively wait for opportunities. He knows that opportunities are often created by both parties. If he can successfully debug this commercial TD Heron UAV, it will be of extraordinary significance to Israel's military industry.

After carefully inspecting the Heron TD drone in the warehouse, Wang Yang obtained some information he wanted. Afterwards, he prepared to go to the hotel with Liu Yue and Yingzi to rest.

Before they left, the engineer couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Wang Yang, are you sure you can debug this commercial drone thoroughly? This is no joke."

"Of course." Wang Yang turned around with a joking look on his face, "If Minister Meserve agrees, I can even start debugging here."

The engineers knew that it was impossible for Wang Yang to debug the machine in the Hamm factory. Even if they wanted to buy the secrets of debugging, they would have to pay a high price to get it from Wang Yang.

After that, Wang Yang took Liu Yue and Yingzi out of the warehouse. When they arrived at the hotel, it was already dark.

However, what Wang Yang didn't know was that at this moment, an emergency operation was quietly underway in the U.S. Department of Defense. They vowed to kill Wang Yang's cooperation with Israel in the cradle.

Meanwhile, at night in the Israeli Ministry of Defense, Minister Meserve was still sitting at his desk, and was reluctant to leave. In front of his desk stood an elderly engineer.

"What did you say? Wang Yang wants to debug the Heron TD drone directly in the Ham factory? Is he serious?" Minister Meserve asked. If this news is true, then the commercial version of the Heron TD drone can be completely repaired, and Israel can even obtain a series of parameter data through Wang Yang, which will undoubtedly help Israel solve a big problem.

The engineer smiled bitterly and shook his head: "But looking at Mr. Wang Yang's expression, I think he might be joking."

There are too many secrets about this type of drone. Even if Wang Yang knew how to modify it, he couldn't do it in the Ham factory.

"Did Wang Yang say anything else in the warehouse? For example, what is the market prospect of this commercial drone?" Minister Meserve asked excitedly.

The engineer shook his head. "I'm sorry, Minister, Mr. Wang Yang didn't say much. He just said that he had a way to develop and debug both the cargo and passenger functions at the same time, and within a month, he could make this plane fly in the sky, bringing huge benefits to everyone."

This is just Wang Yang's assessment of the value of the drone after debugging. If this commercial drone does not pass through Wang Yang's hands, I am afraid the Israeli military will not be able to see any value.

Meserve hung up the phone and lit a cigar. At this time, the private phone on his desk rang. It turned out to be General Johnson from the United States.

Meserve picked up the phone impatiently, took a look at it, and then threw it back on the table. He was in no mood to answer the call.

"Maybe I should agree to Wang Yang's request and let him bring two drones back to China." Meserve was a little hesitant. He wanted to see the great value that the improved version of the Heron TD drone would bring to Israel, but he also wanted to avoid punishment from the United States.

After thinking for a moment, he picked up the phone and called the editor-in-chief of a newspaper affiliated with the Ministry of Defense.

"Tomorrow, you will take people to the Ham factory to interview Mr. Wang Yang, and try to make this matter known to everyone!" Minister Meserve ordered.

The editor-in-chief of the newspaper was somewhat surprised when he heard the order. He had just learned about Wang Yang's arrival in Israel today, and he did not expect that as a news editor, he would have to interview a foreigner because of the instructions of the Ministry of Defense.

"Minister Meserve, are there any words in this interview that we need to be especially careful about?" the editor asked cautiously. He wanted to know if there were any words that needed to be avoided in the interview that involved the United States and other stakeholders.

Meserve laughed and said, "No need! Wang Yang was attacked by an assassin during the live broadcast. You can write in the press release where the assassin came from and what Mr. Wang Yang thinks of this matter!"

"By the way, Mr. Wang Yang is planning to modify a Heron TD drone at the Ham factory this time. I think you should know how to write a press release, right?" Meserve said in a meaningful tone.

The editor-in-chief immediately understood Meserve's intention and quickly promised: "Minister Meserve, don't worry, this is not the first time I have written about the Heron TD drone. This kind of article related to our country's military industry will cause a sensation every time it appears!"

The next morning, Editor-in-Chief John and his team drove to the Ham Military Factory in the suburbs. They got up early, but when they arrived at the factory, they found that Wang Yang was not there.

"I'm sorry, Editor-in-Chief John, I'm afraid you'll have to wait here for a while."
