Chapter 442 Dongda: In the field of drones, everyone here is a younger brother!
Dongda’s drone.

In particular, military drones actually started very early.

The military began developing drones as early as the 1950s and 1960s.

Moreover, the Southeast University military has always known that drones will play a vital role on future battlefields.

Therefore, even in the most difficult period of the 1970s and 1980s when military expenditure was the lowest and the entire army was tightening its belt to live a hard life, the various aircraft research institutes under the Bank of China Group did not interrupt their research and development of drones.

The country and the military have also been providing strong support in the fields of civil and military drones.

This led to the second decade of the 21st century, when Southeast University experienced a huge boom and explosion in the field of drones.

There is no decades of technological accumulation and support.

How could it be possible that Todai has achieved such brilliant achievements in the field of drones today?

2014 years.

Global drone sales have reached 39 units, with a market size of approximately US$52 billion, of which 96% are for civilian use, and consumer-grade drones account for about two-thirds.

In recent years, the scale of Bluestar's civilian drone market has increased dramatically, soaring from 2012 million yuan in 4.5 to 2014 billion US dollars in 52.

among them.

DJI, a private drone company from the University of Tokyo, has a market share of 70%.

The problem is that there is not only one DJI in Dongda, but also other well-known drone companies such as Zongheng, Ehang, and XAG.

Therefore, in the global civilian drone market, Dongda’s market share is almost over 90%.

Dongda’s civilian drones have already taken the world by storm.

Although military drones cannot occupy 90 percent of the market like consumer drones, their strength should not be underestimated.

2014 years.

The cost-effectiveness of Dongda's military drones, whether for export or for self-use, not only can compete with that of Americans, but has even far surpassed that of Americans in some aspects.

As for other countries?

beyond reach.

Not on the same level.

It's not even a dimension.

United States: When it comes to drones, all of you here are garbage, except for the University of Tokyo.

Dongda: I'm not targeting you (American), I'm saying that everyone here is garbage.

In the field of military drones.

The "Wing Loong" series and the "Rainbow" series are what many military fans talk about with great relish.

Because among the many military drones of Dongda, these two are the most famous and exported to the most countries.

As of 2014, more than ten countries have purchased the Wing Loong and Rainbow series of reconnaissance and strike UAVs, and they have been tested in actual combat.

I don’t know whether users gave positive reviews.

Anyway, after many customers bought the first batch for actual combat use, they added the latest improved versions of these two drones to their shopping carts.

But those who know Todai know it.

What you sell will never be better than what you use yourself.

Although the 'Wuzhen' series, 'Attack' series, 'Lijian' series, 'Yunying' series and other drones are not as famous as the 'Wing Loong' and 'Rainbow' series, their performance is unilaterally beaten.

Among them, "Lijian" and "Yunying" are stealth drones.

The performance reaches or even exceeds that of the US military's X-47B and RQ-180.
This was only 2014.

Seven years later.

When the "Nantianmen Project" was first disclosed by the official at the 13th Zhuhai Air Show.

Only then did the world know how big the ambition of the aerospace people of Dongda University is.

Because the "Nantianmen Project" is aimed at building a Todai-style aerospace carrier strategic strike group, and the role of this strike group is not to deal with earthlings, but to resist aliens invading the earth.

In other words.

The Earth can no longer accommodate the 'Nantianmen Project'.

The aerospace people of Dongda University have long aimed at the stars and the sea. As for the "Baidi Gongtianji" and "Luanniao UAV", which are only seen in science fiction novels or movies, they appeared in a country's military air show.

Its purpose is self-evident.

Although Dongda has always claimed that the "Nantianmen Project" is just an empty science fiction IP.

The question is, do others believe it?
Dongda: Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway.

Jiang Chen is indeed a military fan.

However, his focus has always been on the field of manned aircraft.

For drones?
Although he also knew the 'Rainbow', 'Pterosaur' and 'No Detective' series.

But I don’t know much.

Last life.

Even though DJI is so popular, he hasn’t even bought himself a consumer-grade drone to fly.

Therefore, Jiang Chen didn’t even know much about the development of Dongda’s drones in 2024, let alone in 2014.

Two days ago, he accidentally discovered the invading RQ-180 stealth drone over Dafangshen Airport. He was so persistent that he was even willing to die together with his own people in order to shoot down the "enemy plane".

On the one hand, the motherland's airspace must not be violated.

As a soldier of the Republic.

It is the responsibility and obligation of every soldier to safeguard sovereignty with his life.

On the other hand, the idea is that if we can take down this seemingly advanced and even sci-fi drone, wouldn’t it be possible to make a certain contribution to domestic drone research?

It’s a pity that his actions were purely like winking at a blind man.

It's a waste of effort.

So now Jiang Chen is like a poor loser. He spent almost all his fortune to buy a multi-carat diamond ring for his goddess.

As a result, before the diamond ring was given away, the goddess was already wearing a ring on her finger, and the diamond on the ring was as big as a pigeon egg.

So how could he not be depressed?

In the ward.

After Xiao Yun briefly talked about the current development status of the domestic drone industry, he saw that Jiang Chen's mood visibly dropped.

He was both angry and amused.

And I feel a little bit sad.

"Why are you hanging your head?" Xiao Yun cursed first, then consoled him, "I told you so much not to discourage you. Your choice was right. As a soldier, you should use your life to safeguard the integrity of national sovereignty."

"Your spirit is worth encouraging, but don't be so impulsive next time."

"Because only by saving your life can you better defend the motherland. Do you understand?"

"Ah~~~" Jiang Chen sighed, then looked up at Xiao Yun and said, "I understand what you said, it's just a little regretful."

"I'm glad you understand." Xiao Yun reached out and patted his shoulder.

"By the way, Master." Jiang Chen asked again, "Since our stealth drones are so powerful, why was the American RQ-180 able to penetrate deep into the hinterland and fly over Jiangcheng for reconnaissance this time?"

"Being able to build a stealth drone doesn't mean we can defend against it," Xiao Yun said helplessly. "Aircraft and radar are like spear and shield. Now, whether it's us or the Americans, the spears are sharp enough, but the shields are still relatively backward."

"So don't say we can't defend it. The Americans can't defend it either."

"This time the Americans penetrated hundreds of kilometers into the hinterland, but we also had unmanned stealth reconnaissance aircraft flying over the Korean Peninsula and Japan to conduct reconnaissance and take photos. Although the two sides are still barely maintaining their relationship on the surface, they are fighting fiercely in secret."

"There's no point flying to Japan and South Korea. In my opinion, we should go to Alaska, Hawaii, or even San Francisco, New York or something like that someday. The Americans are so arrogant. If we don't teach them a lesson, they will really think we are sick cats." Jiang Chen said dissatisfiedly.

Xiao Yun rolled his eyes at him and said unhappily, "Okay, we'll send you to station there when we build a military base in Cuba or Venezuela. The reason we're passively beaten is because they keep two dogs at our doorstep. We don't have any allies in America, so how can we 'reciprocate' with the Americans?"

"So stop saying such discouraging things and get well soon. The division commander, regiment commander, and battalion commander all have high hopes for you."

ps: The university chapter is about to end. Many people say that I am too slow to write. In fact, there are really many things that I can't write, so please make do with it. But I will do my best to let you see the plots you like, such as the Syrian battlefield, the J-20, the aircraft carriers, etc. Because only one-third of the plot of this book has passed, and the timeline will be from 2014 to 2024, it is enough for me to write.

It's the end of the month, can I ask for a monthly ticket?
