Chapter 150 Code Name: Twin-Tailed Scorpion!

"This flight range, it won't do if it's too short..."

Li Jiajun's fingers traced the massive rooster-shaped map on the wall, his brows furrowing slightly.

At this moment, he was the only one in the office.

Recalling the press conference that had previously shocked the whole country, Li Jiajun smacked his lips, the turbulent emotions in his heart refusing to settle for a long time.

As a small business owner who had been struggling in the business world, he had actually realized the truth after returning.

Although Mr. Wang's words sounded stirring, upon closer reflection, they were all business tactics.

This old fox had clearly set his sights on the fact that he now carried immense traffic and controversy, and wanted to use his fame to establish a brand image for Express Delivery Company that was not only powerful but also responsible and daring enough to support national innovation.

Express Delivery Company daring to use a troublemaker that others wouldn't dare to use—didn't that just prove Express Delivery Company's own confidence and stability? This wave of reverse marketing completely maxed out the classiness of Express Delivery Company.

"Tsk, as expected of a billionaire tycoon; I could hear the sound of his abacus clicking all the way from Baishui City."

Li Jiajun unconsciously switched to voice-over mode, muttering to himself at the empty air.

But complaints aside, he didn't feel any resentment in his heart; in fact, a warm current was surging within him.

Regardless of whether Mr. Wang's initial intention was marketing, the fact that he stood up for him in front of national media and even staked Express Delivery Company's reputation on him—that kind of boldness was the real deal.

At a time when everyone was avoiding him like the plague, Mr. Wang had given him a heavy dose of trust.

'Is this the legendary... dying for one who appreciates you?'

Li Jiajun took a deep breath, the playfulness in his eyes gradually dissipating, replaced by an unprecedented seriousness and fanaticism.

'Since Mr. Wang has set the stage, I can't drop the ball. This time, I must give it my all and build something earth-shattering!'

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, skillfully set up his phone, and started the livestream.

This time, he didn't even use those flashy clickbait titles, but instead typed out a line of big text with extreme positivity:

【I am building an airplane for Express Delivery Company! Witness the rise of domestic products!】

As soon as the stream started, Netizens who had already caught wind of it flooded in, the number of viewers nearing one hundred thousand plus.

"It's here, it's here! The legendary Express Delivery Company special edition!"

"Main Streamer, I heard Mr. Wang invested several hundred million into you? Is it true or false?"

"This title is full of positive energy; has the Streamer completely turned over a new leaf?"

...

Li Jiajun looked at the barrage, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly, and the light known as confidence returned to his face.

"family, no more nonsense, let's get straight to the point!"

He picked up a pointer and pointed to the map on the wall, his tone passionate:

"Since we are building an airplane for Express Delivery Company, we only have one goal: reduce costs and increase efficiency! It must be fast! It must have high capacity! It must be economical!"

"Everyone look at this map, our country has a vast territory and complex terrain. From the northernmost Mohe to the southernmost Zengmu Ansha, the straight-line distance exceeds five thousand kilometers."

"If we are delivering packages, we certainly can't fly in a straight line; we have to avoid no-fly zones, dodge thunderstorm layers, and also consider the energy consumption of climbing over highland mountainous areas."

Li Jiajun's finger drew winding red lines on the map.

"Therefore, if we want to truly achieve full territorial coverage without landing for refueling in between, this drone's flight range won't be worth showing off if it's not at least eight thousand kilometers!"

"Eight thousand kilometers?"

A string of question marks floated across the livestream room.

"Streamer, wake up, this is a drone, not a Boeing 747!"

"Good heavens, anyone with a bit of common sense knows that if a drone wants to fly eight thousand kilometers, how much fuel would it have to carry? Can it still carry cargo?"

Li Jiajun ignored these doubts; his gaze began to scan the pile of biological atlases and military magazines on his desk, looking for inspiration for the exterior design.

Traditional aircraft layouts either lacked payload capacity or range.

He needed a design that was more efficient, more stable, and even... more aesthetically pleasing.

Suddenly.

His gaze rested on a picture of a desert scorpion.

It was a giant scorpion hunting, its two massive pincers raised high, and the tail with the poisonous stinger behind it curved into an arc full of tension.

Especially that tail structure—to support the attack of the stinger, it displayed a kind of extremely stable mechanical beauty.

Ding!

【You observed the biological structure of a desert scorpion, combined with aerodynamics and bionic construction principles, and gained insight into the huge advantages of a twin-tail support layout in providing extra lift, reducing induced drag, and enhancing flight stability!】

【You have realized the essence of the twin-tail support high-aspect-ratio aerodynamic layout design!】

Boom!

It was as if a bolt of lightning had flashed through his mind.

Li Jiajun grabbed a marker, rushed to the whiteboard, and began to write furiously.

Swish, swish, swish!

A few minutes later, a design sketch with a ferocious appearance, full of industrial violent aesthetics, appeared before everyone.

It had slender wings, elegant like a glider; but on both sides of the fuselage, two long tail supports extended, connecting to the tailplane, just like the two high-raised tails of a scorpion.

And under the nose, to accommodate optical sensors and radar for navigation and obstacle avoidance, a protruding spherical pod was specially designed, looking very much like the eyes of some bird of prey.

This shape...

It looked familiar no matter how you looked at it.

Li Jiajun stepped back, looked at his masterpiece, and nodded with satisfaction.

"This shape not only guarantees structural strength but also provides enough lift—it's simply perfect!"

He turned around and excitedly announced to the camera:

"family! This is the delivery airplane we are going to build! I've given it a codename: twin-tailed scorpion!"

However.

The atmosphere in the livestream room was not as enthusiastic as he had imagined.

On the contrary, the barrage was filled with a certain eerie, hesitant panic.

"???"

"twin-tailed scorpion? This name... it sounds very 'proper' just by hearing it!"

"You mean 'proper' like in 'requisitioning', right?"

"Streamer, tell me honestly, did you draw this design based on that... the Ugly Country's Predator drone?"

"Damn it, a delivery airplane! This shape, this twin-tail support, this nose pod... I'd believe you if you said it was an integrated reconnaissance and strike unmanned bomber!"

"Mr. Wang: I told you to build a delivery plane, and you built me a daddy?"

"Uncle Liu's quick-acting heart-saving pills are going to go up in price again..."

"It's not like any proper delivery drone uses this name, right?"

...

Looking at the screen full of complaints, Li Jiajun rolled his eyes.

With an expression that said 'what do you mortals know', he unconsciously switched to voice-over mode:

"These Netizens, they are just ignorant. This is called bionic design! Understand? Scorpions are so cool, full of nature's wisdom. Besides, who stipulated that a delivery airplane has to be round and chubby? Looking a bit fierce can even prevent thieves when delivering packages."

After speaking, he confidently threw the marker away and set a huge flag to the camera:

"Everyone, put your hearts at ease! This time there will absolutely be no problem!"

"Who beats their kid just because it's raining? It's impossible for a person to be unlucky every day, right? I have a feeling that this project will be as steady as an old dog!"

Enough said, the advantage is with me!
