Chapter 232 Overseas people are dumbfounded, it turns out this is all true [ more subscriptions requested]

"Professor Xu, good news! Our Wing Loong UAV is a hit." As soon as Xu Yuan pressed the answer button on his cell phone, he heard Liang Zhanjun's excited and joyful voice coming into his ears from the microphone.

But he was startled when he heard this: "Hasn't the Wing Loong drone always been very popular?"

Since the Wing Loong UAV made its debut at an international air show, it has caused a huge response in the country.

And five of them were successfully sold at the exhibition.

This result is obviously a hit.

Although there are some questioning voices overseas, most of them are just stubborn and unwilling to accept reality.

Don't need to care too much.

Now hearing Liang Zhanjun say this suddenly, it is inevitable that I feel a little strange.

Fortunately, Liang Zhanjun on the phone did not keep the person in suspense and immediately explained in detail.

"Professor Xu, you haven't been online. What I mean is that our Wing Loong drone has become a global hit. Even many aerospace companies and regions have announced that they will increase their research efforts on drones."

"It can be said that our pterosaurs have led a new trend."

"Just go online and you'll find out."

Xu Yuan listened to everything Liang Zhanjun said and had a preliminary understanding of the situation.

Apparently something new happened on the Internet that had an impact on the Wing Loong drone.

In this situation, he did not listen to Liang Zhanjun's continued speech. After temporarily ending the call, he turned around and said to Zou Jing:

"Professor Zou, can I use your laptop?"

As the voice rang out, his eyes fell on the black laptop on the table next to him.

Hearing this, Zou Jing naturally had no hesitation.

He immediately agreed: "No problem."

After he finished speaking, he took the initiative to walk over and take the computer.

The desktop computers in the laboratory are mainly used for routine experiments, while his notebook is intended to be used to write papers.

Although the battery test data has not yet come out, he has a strong hunch in his heart.

The new battery structure designed by Xu Yuan may bring lithium iron phosphate batteries into a new stage.

This is a paper that can definitely be published in the journal Nature.

If you write ahead of time, you can publish sooner.

Xu Yuan didn't think much about it. After taking the computer and turning it on, he saw that it was connected to the Internet and started searching directly.

He placed his fingers on the laptop keyboard and typed quickly, typing the words "Wing Loong UAV" in the search box.

Then press Enter.

Then, a large number of news reports about the Wing Loong UAV appeared on the refreshed page.

The most popular one among them is a video that seems to have been reposted from the Internet.

Xu Yuan didn't think too much and directly clicked on the video to play it.

At this time, Zou Jing next to him was also quite curious. He stood behind Xu Yuan and looked at the screen.

As the video began to play, two light grey-painted drones suddenly flew through the air. They were obviously the Wing Loong reconnaissance and strike drones.

Then Xu Yuan immediately understood what Liang Zhanjun said and knew why the Wing Loong UAV became so popular around the world.

Only two Wing Loong reconnaissance and strike drones have been delivered to the area where Arpad is located.

Pterosaurs are not seen anywhere else.

In other words, after Arpad received the Wing Loong drone, he used it immediately.

Carry out continuous strike combat missions.

And it was done brilliantly.

This kind of real video record can be clearly judged even if you are not a professional.

The performance of the Wing Loong UAV far exceeds that of the Reaper UAV.

No wonder it caused such a heated discussion again.

Although we chose the Wing Loong UAV for external sales, we wanted to see its specific combat performance.

If relevant vulnerabilities are found, the drone system can be upgraded and optimized.

But he didn't expect that as soon as the first two drones arrived, such videos would be posted online.

The speed is a bit too fast.

But it should be said, as Liang Zhanjun just said.

The Wing Loong UAV has really become a hit this time.

After the video finished playing, Xu Yuan looked at other related news reports.

As well as overseas media news reposted by netizens.

It was basically what he thought.

As for the terrifying number of comments displayed in the comment section, he did not click in to check it out.

Mainly because he can basically guess what netizens say.

Just as Xu Yuan was watching these, Zou Jing's excited voice suddenly sounded behind him the next second.

"Our drones are performing really well. I never thought that just two drones could change the situation of the war."

"It's really admirable that Professor Xu could design this kind of drone."

Zou Jing naturally knew that the Wing Loong UAV was a project that Xu Yuan was in charge of, but because he had been busy with battery issues during this period, he was not clear about the details of the Wing Loong UAV.

Today, after seeing the actual combat performance of the Wing Loong, I have a clear understanding of the Wing Loong UAV.

Its value can be said to be no less than that of a stealth fighter.

After all, drones have many advantages that stealth fighters do not have, and their combat capabilities are amazing.

Xu Yuan took Zou Jing's words to heart and did not let the praise down.

Continuing to browse the news above, he also noticed that some overseas aerospace companies had taken action.

Announced to increase research efforts on drone projects.

They obviously saw the value of advanced drones and wanted to develop such drones.

However, Xu Yuan did not take it to heart. Based on the fuselage material and turboprop engine of the Wing Loong UAV, it would be impossible for other regions to develop a UAV of the same level in a short period of time.

Even if there is a breakthrough in overseas drone technology by that time, China will also have new stealth drones.

Still maintains the leading position.

At this time, Zou Jing seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly asked in a low voice with some concern.

"By the way, Professor Xu, if we sell Wing Loong drones to foreign countries and perform such missions, will it be used as an excuse to make a fuss?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan turned his head and looked at Zou Jing. He didn't expect that the other party could think of such a question.

I have to say that the considerations are indeed quite comprehensive.

But the fact that the Wing Loong UAV was able to pass the application for external sales clearly shows that all kinds of issues have been considered.

So Xu Yuan explained with a smile: "The drones we sell to the outside world are for rescue and search functions. As for how others use them, that is their business." The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a playful smile.

Of course, what he said is absolutely correct. The Wing Loong UAV was designed to be multi-purpose from the beginning.

It is fully capable of carrying out rescue and search tasks, ensuring smooth regional signal flow, and other tasks.

But if they insist on mounting guided bombs, there is nothing we can do about it.

After all, this is a secondary transformation.

After hearing what Xu Yuan said, Zou Jing couldn't help laughing out loud. He didn't expect Xu Yuan would choose this approach.

In fact, as long as you have enough strength, reality is what it is.

It's no use if others want to write articles.

"Professor Xu is really thoughtful and thought of the problem in advance."

Zou Jing responded with a smile and was about to say something else when his attention was suddenly attracted by a piece of news on the screen.

After reading the above content, he looked towards Xu Yuan with shock in his eyes.

Not daring to waste time, he immediately took the initiative to ask.

"Professor Xu."

"You also do research on aircraft engines?"

Yes.

The news he saw was about turboprop engines and carbon fiber composite materials.

He was not unfamiliar with high-performance carbon fiber composite materials and had already learned about it from Zhang Jin.

That's why he specially invited Xu Yuan to join his project.

But he didn't expect that Xu Yuan was also so knowledgeable about aircraft engines.

They were able to design advanced turboprop engines.

The thought stayed here, and for some reason the joy I had felt because of the battery disappeared.

Instead, I feel like I have been living like a dog all these years.

Back then, he was recognized as a genius by everyone. After graduating from undergraduate school and getting a doctorate, he stayed in school and was soon hired as an associate professor in the School of Materials. Later, he successfully obtained the title of full professor.

And get the opportunity to study and exchange abroad.

Logically speaking, after returning to establish a battery laboratory in the Institute of Materials, he should have done a great job.

But compared with Xu Yuan, his pride instantly became insignificant.

Although he had been deeply involved in the battery field for so many years, the proposal for a new design structure for lithium iron phosphate batteries was proposed by Xu Yuan, who had just started working in the materials field.

The key point is that Xu Yuan is best at mathematics, and he also serves as a researcher in the two major fields of aerospace.

Today, advanced turboprop engines have been developed.

Even if you are called a genius, you will instantly be eclipsed when standing in front of the other person.

There is absolutely no comparison.

The most important point is that Xu Yuan is not yet thirty years old.

If Xu Yuan was a senior academician in his fifties, such achievements would still be acceptable.

But I’m only twenty-seven this year.

When Xu Yuan heard that Zou Jing suddenly showed concern about this issue, he thought about it and decided not to keep it a secret.

He raised his eyes and looked at the other party and responded: "This was originally done to ensure the performance of the Wing Loong UAV. The performance of domestic engines varies greatly, so we can only try to design and research it ourselves."

“I didn’t expect that the engine that was finally produced would perform quite well after performance testing.”

Although the matter was glossed over, Zou Jing felt even more ashamed when he heard it.

Just by trying to design and research, they developed the most advanced turboprop engine in the world.

The word "try" is too valuable.

However, this thought only appeared in his mind for two seconds and was soon replaced by joy.

Because he thought that Xu Yuan was able to achieve such excellent results in his first contact with the engine.

Currently, collaborating with him on research on lithium iron phosphate batteries is my second exposure to the field of materials.

I think the results will be even better.

This made him think of the battery that was being tested, and he became more and more looking forward to the final data report.

I believe it will not disappoint you.

"Professor Xu is truly an all-round talent. The country will be proud of having talents like you."

In response to Zou Jing's praise, Xu Yuan smiled and waved his hand before closing the computer.

Finally, he said it modestly.

“It’s good enough if I can make a contribution and realize my own value.”

As for the following time, Xu Yuan didn't go anywhere and continued to stay in the laboratory with Zou Jing.

Wait patiently for the battery test results.

……

Just when Xu Yuan was no longer paying attention to the Wing Loong UAV and domestic netizens were immersed in excitement and joy, General Atomics Aeronautics, the overseas company that developed the Reaper UAV, could no longer sit still.

You should know that their Reaper drones are also sold to most parts of the world.

Although the price is relatively high, buyers are reluctant to use it to perform tasks.

They were afraid of being destroyed and suffering heavy losses.

But unfortunately, there is no competitor at the same level at all. To some extent, it is a necessity for a region.

But with the popularity of Wing Loong UAV, the situation is completely different.

It would be fine if the Wing Loong UAV’s performance was not good, but its actual performance has proven its worth.

It even prompted other aerospace companies to adjust their plans and choose to speed up the research and development of advanced drones.

It is almost foreseeable that many advanced drone models will appear in the next few years.

Completely squeeze out the living space of the Reaper drone.

The only way is to upgrade the Death God, not only to improve performance but also to reduce costs.

This has a huge impact on the development of the entire company.

For this reason, General Atomics Aeronautics CEO Lyon had to convene an emergency meeting of the company's senior management.

California Asia.

In the meeting room on the top floor of the headquarters building, Leon rested his hands on the table in front of him, his face darkened.

At this moment, the projection screen in the conference room was playing the footage of the Wing Loong UAV performing its mission.

During the entire video playback, no one among the twenty or so people in the conference room spoke a word.

I remember that during the last international air show, they additionally discussed the Wing Loong UAV at the meeting.

The consensus at the time was that the Wing Loong UAV could not possibly have the excellent performance of that kind of data.

It can't even compare to their own Reaper drone.

It's just a pure show.

All the disclosed drone parameters are false.

In particular, they released a promotional video of the Reaper drone to make a statement on the matter.

Seeing that many users questioned the parameters of the Wing Loong UAV as they thought, they did not pay too much attention to this matter, thinking that it would not affect their Reaper UAV anyway.

However, things went counterproductive.

Not many days had passed before the boomerang was stuck right in the head.

None of them thought that someone would actually purchase the Wing Loong UAV.

And there are two of them.

The most important thing is that the performance of these two Wing Loong UAVs is so outstanding that they have crushed the Reaper UAVs.

This situation only means one thing.

All the data parameters previously released by the Wing Loong UAV to the public are true and reliable.

Thinking about the fact that the Wing Loong UAV has a flight time that is more than ten hours longer than the Reaper UAV, I really don’t know how to describe it for a moment.

With the mood down, the atmosphere in the entire conference room seemed depressing.

Finally, after the short video was played for a few minutes, everyone present remained silent.

No one spoke rashly.

Faced with this situation, Lyon, as the company's CEO, could no longer bear it.

He tapped his fingers on the table a few times and spoke out a few words.

"Tell me everything."

As the words fell, the conversation started. After looking around, I saw the blonde lady's lips moving.

Be the first to talk about this matter.

"The situation is not favorable to us now. We must admit that someone made a very wrong judgment on the Wing Loong drone incident."

"As a result, the company failed to take the right measures in the first place."

Although the blonde lady didn't mention any names, everyone's eyes were still fixed on Jacqueline after hearing this.

After all, as the designer of the Reaper UAV, it was he who had previously rejected the Wing Loong UAV.

Being humiliated in front of the company's top management, Jacqueline didn't say a word, but his expression looked unhappy.

He really couldn't accept that not only was his judgment wrong, but it was also so outrageously wrong.

As the chief designer of the Reaper UAV, he knew very well how many difficulties the Reaper had to overcome to achieve such parameters. It was precisely because of this that he did not believe in the Wing Loong UAV.

I don't believe anyone can develop a drone with such parameters.

It doesn't seem like a product of this era at all.

But it turned out that the other side did have more advanced technology than them.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Wing Loong UAV to reach a range of tens of thousands of kilometers and a flight time of more than forty hours.

Not to mention the bomb load capacity that can be called an aerial bomb truck.

Leon didn't bother with Jacquin at this time, but focused his attention on the blonde wavy lady.

Signal the other person to continue speaking.

The blonde lady received Leon's eye contact, paused for two seconds, and then continued.

"From the combat situation of the two drones in the video and the coordinated tactics, the performance of the reconnaissance and strike drone developed by China has greatly surpassed ours."

"This means that they have also made major technological breakthroughs in high-performance carbon fiber composite materials."

“And the cost is lower.”

"In addition, it is stated that the turboprop engine carried by this drone has a horsepower of more than 1100 according to the data collected."

Jacqueline, who had been keeping silent, could no longer hold back after hearing these words.

I subconsciously retorted: "That's impossible."

Then it was supplemented with details.

"Our Reaper drone is equipped with the most advanced Honeywell engine, which has a maximum horsepower of only 900. How could their engine reach 1100 horsepower?"

Perhaps the blonde lady was dissatisfied with Joaquin's overconfidence during the last meeting.

Therefore, the response this time was very firm. "Professor Jacqueline, we must accept this reality."

The voice just fell.

Then it was supplemented.

"At present, many countries and regions in the world have chosen to abandon the fifth-generation stealth fighter project due to technical and financial issues."

"But the performance of the Wing Loong UAV gave them hope, so they turned their attention to the UAV field."

"The popularity of the Wing Loong drone has already had an impact on us. As more drone models come out, our products will be completely eliminated and lose their value."

Lyon listened to the report of the blonde wavy lady and naturally understood the meaning of her words.

At the same time, I was thinking about the response plan.

Coincidentally, at this moment someone in the meeting room couldn't help but express his opinion.

"Perhaps we can find an excuse to put pressure on the other side to stop selling Wing Loong drones to other countries."

As this proposal was put forward, it was immediately recognized by several senior executives of the company.

“I support this proposal.”

"Being able to prevent the other party from selling Wing Loong drones overseas will indeed help ease our pressure."

"We don't sell our Reaper drones to them. If the Wing Loong drone can really be banned from entering the market, then the Reaper drone will have no impact."

Hearing this, Leon frowned immediately, obviously knowing that this was not the most suitable solution.

But before he could finish his words, the blonde lady with wavy hair had already spoken.

"This approach is simply not feasible. According to the information we have, the other party claimed that this drone was a rescue and search drone when it was sold, which to some extent falls into the category of civilian use."

"At present, the Wing Loong UAV has become popular all over the world. All we can do is to improve the performance of the Reaper UAV."

At this point the blonde wavy lady knew she had said all, and what happened next would all depend on the boss.

If we can't break the impasse, we'll probably have no choice but to give up the Reaper drone.

In response, the blonde wavy-haired lady stared at her boss, looking forward to what she would say next.

Lyon has never been in such a bad mood as today. As a world-leading aerospace company in terms of technology, it was overtaken by others without realizing it.

The favorable situation turned into an unfavorable situation.

But he can't just quit now, he has to take some countermeasures.

His thoughts stayed here, and he finally set his sights on the chief designer Jacqueline.

After a slight pause, he asked a question.

"Professor Jacqueline, do you have a way to improve the performance parameters of the Reaper drone to the same level as the Pterosaur drone in a short period of time?"

"I'm sorry, that's impossible." Jacqueline sighed and had to answer truthfully.

Although he also wanted to say that he could complete the upgrade of the Reaper UAV in a short time.

But the reality is that no one can change it.

But then Jacqueline added another sentence.

"Of course, if it's a long-term thing, increasing investment in scientific research funding and human resources may enable our existing technology to make progress."

After hearing this, Leon did not answer Jacqueline immediately.

Instead, it raises another question: "Can the manufacturing cost of the Reaper drone be reduced?"

"It's difficult." Jacqueline replied helplessly.

Although before the Wing Loong UAV was launched, their Reaper UAV had the most advanced technology in the world.

However, the core components of the aircraft were decided to be developed and produced entirely by their company.

More purchases are made from other companies.

It is almost impossible to control the cost of aircraft in this way.

After all, they have no way to convince other companies to lower their prices.

At this point in the meeting, it can be said that nearly an hour has passed.

However, the discussion on the Wing Loong UAV has still not produced any results.

It seems that they can only watch their own Reaper drones being gradually eliminated from the market.

Seeing that the situation was getting difficult, Lyon had to use his last method.

After withdrawing his arm from the table, his entire upper body suddenly leaned forward and he spoke the next words almost through gritting his teeth.

"If it doesn't work, find a way to recruit him back. I can offer him an annual salary of 200 million US dollars."

When Lyon's words rang out in the conference room, it did not surprise many people present.

After all, although an annual salary of 200 million is an astronomical figure, it also depends on who it is spent on.

If we could really recruit an all-around talent like Xu Yuan, we would be so happy.

But the key point is that the probability of such a thing happening is really too low.

Not to mention whether the other party is willing or not, under normal circumstances, even if the other party is willing, they probably won't be able to come over.

"boss."

"I'm afraid the other party won't accept it." The blonde lady couldn't help but remind her.

However, before he could finish his words, Leon immediately raised his hand to interrupt him.

"Just do as I say."

"Contact the other party first. If they are really interested, the money can be increased."

Lyon knew very well the success rate of this operation, but since he could not find a more suitable solution, he could only give it a try with the mentality of a blind cat meeting a dead mouse.

The blonde lady naturally didn't say anything more after hearing this, and finally nodded and took on the task.

"Good boss."

Since there was nothing left to discuss at this point, the high-level meeting was declared over.

But when everyone came out of the top-floor conference room, the person who was most depressed was undoubtedly Professor Jacqueline.

Thinking about the Reaper drone that he designed and was so proud of, he should have lived a fulfilling and peaceful life in his later years.

As a result, the Reaper drone has been surpassed by others in just a few years since its launch.

The person who designed the key Wing Loong UAV was just a young man in his twenties, and his previous achievements seemed insignificant no matter how you looked at it.

"If I have the chance in the future, I hope to meet this genius who can design a perfect drone like the Pterosaur."

"How enviable!"

Finally, he stopped and murmured a few words with emotion, then walked into the elevator and went downstairs.

At the same time, an idea came to his mind.

He decided to formally submit his resignation letter after returning and no longer be responsible for the research of the Reaper UAV.

……

……

Xu Yuan didn't know that the entire General Atomics was shrouded in gloom because of the Wing Loong UAV that he was responsible for developing.

I was completely impressed by the powerful performance of the Wing Loong UAV.

At this moment, in the battery laboratory of the School of Materials Science and Engineering of Qinghua University, Professors Xu Yuan and Zou Jing, as well as two of Zou Jing's doctoral students, are still here.

Although it had already darkened outside, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening.

Mainly after daytime testing, the lithium iron phosphate battery with a new design structure has already obtained some test results.

If I don’t see the data in this test report, I’m afraid I won’t be able to fall asleep easily even if I go back.

"tutor."

"The energy density and safety of the battery, as well as the temperature environment test results are out."

Zou Jing, who was sitting in front of his laptop writing a paper, heard his student's reminder. He immediately stood up and looked towards the other person's position, his face full of excitement.

The next second he hurriedly said, "Print it out quickly."

"Okay, mentor." The doctoral student made a gesture and then quickly started printing.

Taking advantage of the gap, Zou Jing quickly looked at Xu Yuan next to him and repeated his reminder.

"Did you hear that, Professor Xu? The battery test results are out."

"Yeah, I heard it." Xu Yuan stopped what he was doing and nodded at him with a smile on his face.

He waited for the results with Zou Jing in the laboratory. When he was bored, he picked up a few pieces of draft paper and used a pen to deduce the Hodge conjecture formula on them, trying to speed up the progress bar as much as possible.

Although the test data currently obtained is not comprehensive, it can basically determine the situation of the new design structure battery.

Confirm whether it has a higher value.

So Xu Yuan stopped deducing and simply stood up to wait for the data.

The main thing is that although he knows that the new design structure is feasible, he is not sure how much improvement it has compared to the original structure.

This kind of detailed data can only be calculated through testing.

Not long after.

The doctoral student walked over quickly with a freshly printed document in his hand and handed it to Zou Jing.

Perhaps because he was too excited at the moment, Zou Jing's hands couldn't help but tremble slightly when he took the report.

It was not until my eyes fell on the content above that the big stone in my heart finally fell to the ground.

All the expressions on his face were replaced by joy.

"Look at Professor Xu, we succeeded."

The next second, he quickly handed the report to Xu Yuan while explaining it on the side.

"According to our test results on the battery, the energy density of the battery with a new design structure that removes the module and directly integrates it is almost four times that of the original battery."

"At the same time, the safety performance in the battery compression and puncture test is also satisfactory."

"In addition, the performance of the battery is not affected much under extreme weather temperatures."

"Although it will take time to conduct charge and discharge life tests, these results alone show that we have promoted the progress of lithium iron phosphate batteries, which can effectively promote the development of domestic new energy electric vehicles."

After listening to Zou Jing's words, Xu Yuan also saw the battery test data in the report.

It is indeed exactly the same as what Zou Jing said.

Lithium iron phosphate batteries were discovered a long time ago, but they have great potential that has not been developed.

Now they have tapped into the potential of lithium iron phosphate batteries.

This will bring its application scope to a new level.

You should know that the power batteries used in the new energy electric vehicles currently on the market have a range of only about 125 kilometers.

There is simply no way to meet the normal travel needs of users.

It is precisely because of this that it is not favored, and only a few major automobile manufacturers are willing to research new energy electric vehicles.

However, if their new battery structure is used, the energy density will be increased by nearly four times, which can allow the range of new energy electric vehicles to reach about 500 kilometers.

This is definitely good news for the new energy electric vehicle market.

Then Xu Yuan handed the report back and immediately sent his congratulations with a smile on his face.

"Congratulations, Professor Zou."

Upon hearing this, Zou Jing quickly waved his hand and said, "I don't deserve this credit. If I hadn't been lucky enough to invite Professor Xu to come and help, I don't know when this job would have been discovered."

"Strictly speaking, I benefited from your help this time."

After saying this with a warm smile on his face, he added:
"Just let me write this paper on improving the performance of lithium iron phosphate batteries based on a new design structure. When it's finished, I'll show it to you. If there's no problem, I'll submit it to Nature."

"In addition, after the paper is published, domestic battery manufacturers should also seek technology licensing cooperation."

"I still need your help, Professor Xu."

This was not the first time Xu Yuan had heard Zou Jing say these things, so there was no need for him to refuse.

Anyway, with Zou Jing's level, there is absolutely no problem for him to write a paper in Nature journal.

He just put his name on it.

Moreover, if you publish a paper in the two top journals of natural sciences, the school will also offer very generous bonuses.

As for technology licensing, he thought of several current domestic new energy battery brands.

However, the final situation will also depend on the situation of domestic manufacturers.

Since it was already late, there was no need to stay in the lab any longer after learning the test data results of these batteries.

Therefore, Xu Yuan said something to the other party and left the battery laboratory first.

-

Soon it was early morning. Although it was time for people to lie down in bed and fall asleep, the night owls on the Internet were in high spirits and were surfing the Internet intensively.

And soon I was attracted by a piece of news from overseas.

General Atomics publicly announced that it had invited Xu Yuan to join the company with an annual salary of US$200 million.

For most people, even finding a good job after graduation.

With the current average salary, 5,000 yuan a month is already considered good.

Not to mention an annual salary of 200 million, even a million is unthinkable.

The key point is that Xu Yuan is not even 30 years old, and this number undoubtedly gave netizens a big shock.

Of course, some people have analyzed the reasons behind it.

It is known that the emergence of the Wing Loong UAV forced General Atomics to make compromises.

But even though everyone believed Xu Yuan, they couldn't help but feel uneasy when faced with a number with so many zeros, so they started discussing this topic.

Everyone even went to Xu Yuan's Weibo account to leave messages, asking what Xu Yuan would do.

"They actually offered such a high price to poach Professor Xu. It seems that they recognize the strength of the Wing Loong UAV."

"It's really funny. I heard that the parameters of the Wing Loong drone were fake. How come it slid to its knees so fast now?"

"I have never seen so much money in my life. It is simply inhumane."

"If it were me, I might have agreed."

"Don't worry, if it's really you, there will definitely not be such an opportunity."

"Mr. Xu is now a senior professor at Qinghua University and also a researcher in the field of aerospace. He may become an academician by the age of 30. How could he care about such a small amount of money?"

"With the research results achieved by Xu Shen, only 200 million is enough to send away beggars."

"Everyone should wait patiently for Professor Xu's response."

……

The next day.

With the continuous ringing of the cell phone, Xu Yuan was forced to get out of bed early.

Chen Yuran was also woken up.

After reading the phone records, Xu Yuan found that in addition to Qinghua School of Mathematics, Jincheng Aircraft Design Institute and Space Technology Research Institute, even Xijing Aero Engine Group called.

Finally, after a detailed understanding, I finally figured out what was going on.

It turned out that General Atomics Aeronautics, in addition to publicly inviting him to join online, also sent emails to Qinghua School of Mathematics and other institutions.

Faced with this kind of thing, Xu Yuan didn't know what to say.

I didn't expect the other party would use this method.

However, it is obviously impossible to ask him to go overseas to join the atomic company.

It has nothing to do with how much annual salary is given.

Besides, he had no desire for money or material things.

Fortunately, from this incident, he can now be completely sure that the Wing Loong UAV has truly become the most advanced UAV in the world.

And in the next few years, no one will be able to surpass it.

After all, General Atomics's use of poaching means that with their technology, there is no way for their own drones to catch up with the Wing Loong drone.

Since the Atomic Energy Corporation cannot achieve this with its strength, other aerospace companies will not be able to achieve any results either.

In the past, they followed the J-20 and established their own fifth-generation aircraft projects.

As a result, after investing a huge amount of money and resources, they found that they did not have the conditions to develop the fifth-generation aircraft, and finally had to choose to abandon the project.

Now that they are targeting advanced drones, I'm afraid there will be no results.

It is worth mentioning that Xu Yuan did not take the poaching issue seriously.

But seeing so many people calling him, many netizens also left messages and sent private messages under his account.

I had to call everyone else first, and then when I arrived at Qinghua University of Mathematics, I took a photo with my mobile phone and posted it on Weibo. This was my way of responding to the heated discussions online.

Many netizens were already waiting for Xu Yuan’s response, so when they saw the updated Weibo, they naturally clicked in immediately.

I was a little worried at first, but after noticing the photo of Qinghua campus, I felt completely relieved, and the comments I wanted to post almost all turned into good morning greetings.

"Good morning, Professor Xu."

"What did you have for breakfast, Professor Xu?"

"Good morning, Professor Xu."

……

"This General Atomics company is really going to cause me trouble. Let's continue to derive the Hodge conjecture today."

Xu Yuan poured himself some hot water, sat on a chair and browsed the comments on Weibo with his mobile phone. After seeing that the entire comment area was quite harmonious, he put away his mobile phone and took out a draft paper from the drawer of his desk.

At present, Professor Zou Jing's work has been completed, and the research and development of the stealth drone is also going smoothly.

There is no need for him to run back and forth between several places. If there is nothing important, he basically stays in the office of the School of Mathematics.
