84: Big killer! Swarm attack drone!

"Leader, we only helped produce a batch of cold weapons for Long Xia. Isn't adding a 'friendly cooperation' order a bit much?"

Hearing Lu Shenwei say this, Chen Guang laughed and said, "Isn't Julong Steel also responsible for researching drone attack solutions? You can handle it."

"Rest assured, Leader, we will definitely complete the task on time!"

Lu Shenwei patted his chest to assure him, and Chen Guang gave a few more instructions before ending the call.

"Zhou Cun, come in."

Zhou Cun entered the room, and Lu Shenwei said half-jokingly, "I'm afraid your uncle won't be able to keep the surname Zhou in the future."

Huh? What does that mean?

Zhou Cun was confused: "Did that phone call just now have anything to do with Uncle Wen?"

"Haha, just a joke." Lu Shenwei said casually.

With the press conference approaching, he instructed Zhou Cun to check all promotional measures to ensure everything was foolproof.

Zhou Cun accepted the task and went to discuss it with Wang Zizhong.

Finally able to rest for a moment, Lu Shenwei leaned back in his recliner and pondered the combination of Julong Steel Pipe and drones.

To balance firepower and portability, it would be best to shrink the size of the drones and launch them from the steel pipes.

According to the conditions he had in mind, Lu Shenwei opened the system mall and took one look before setting his sights on the swarm attack drone.

Each small attack drone weighs 700 grams, can carry 4 inertial guided bombs of 500 grams each, and the airframe can also be loaded with high explosives to act as a suicide drone.

The drone has a maximum flight radius of 15 kilometers on a full charge, a maximum attack range of 32 kilometers without considering a return trip, and a maximum speed of 160 kilometers per hour.

The airframe is equipped with anti-jamming devices and a high-definition thermal imager, which can automatically search for enemies.

Each launch tube can hold three attack drones and can be carried by a single soldier.

It can also be connected to form a multi-tube launcher, creating a drone attack swarm to strike hostile targets.

The redemption price is only 12 million, which is great value.

According to Lu Shenwei's estimation, the manufacturing cost of each drone is no more than 700 yuan, and the launch tube cost is less than 100 yuan, and it can be reused.

If mass production is achieved later, the cost can be further reduced.

After Lu Shenwei finished the redemption, Ma Quanlin suddenly knocked and entered.

"I was just looking for you, sit down and let's talk."

"The sales of our Julong Steel Pipe are too good, I'm thinking of expanding the production line."

Ma Quanlin spoke first. The sales of Julong Steel Pipe and gas tanks were increasing day by day, and half of the trucks entering and leaving the factory every day were there to load steel pipes.

"Are they all for civilian use?" Lu Shenwei asked.

Ma Quanlin said in a low voice: "You know, how could there be such a huge volume for civilian use?"

Orders come in by the tens of thousands, how could it be for civilian use?

"Let's stop for now. Long Xia is not in the business of making arms. Besides, Chen Guang and the others warned us last time that this business won't last long."

Lu Shenwei thought to himself that he had long had enough of days where production capacity was frequently restricted.

Now that there is an opportunity to transform, he naturally wants to give up the crude and bulky products and embrace high technology.

A performance version of the longmao agricultural vehicle has a profit of five thousand yuan, and a single drone also has a profit of several thousand yuan.

Once he has earned enough money, he can upgrade the industry again, redeem the Artificial Sun to engage in clean nuclear energy, and wouldn't that be a huge profit?

"Xiao Lu, don't we have the support of the Navy and the Army? If we talk to them, there definitely won't be any problems."

Ma Quanlin was truly unwilling to give up the steel pipe production line; that was all the hard work of the workers.

"Uncle Ma, arrogance and complacency are not the personality of Julong Steel. Some things must be given up when it's time to give them up."

Lu Shenwei did not want everyone to rest on their laurels and just wait for death.

Ma Quanlin nodded helplessly. He also knew that this business wouldn't last long, but once you've tasted easy money, it's too hard to give it up.

"Xiao Lu, Julong Steel was saved by you single-handedly. You tell us, what should we do next?"

Ma Quanlin was, after all, an old man who had weathered many storms. Although his change in thinking wasn't fast, he was willing to listen to advice.

Lu Shenwei handed over the design drawing of the swarm attack drone: "Uncle Ma, change the expansion of the production line to the modification of the production line. You are familiar with the things, it's still drones and steel pipes."

"However, the technical difficulty this time has increased significantly. You take people and study it carefully."

Ma Quanlin asked suspiciously: "Have you been pondering this lately? I thought you were indifferent to the Julong Steel Pipe production line."

"How could that be?" Lu Shenwei said with a smile.

Ma Quanlin stared at the drawing for a long time: "The process is indeed more complex than Julong Steel Pipe, and our drone production line also needs to be modified."

"Let's add another civilian drone production line, and keep the military and civilian ones separate," Lu Shenwei thought.

Once the swarm attack drone takes shape, the Western Theater Command will definitely purchase it on a large scale, and the existing production line will definitely not be enough.

"Hmm, I'll go arrange it." Ma Quanlin nodded heavily, and Lu Shenwei patted his shoulder.

"Uncle Ma, Julong Steel will get better and better, rest assured!"

Ma Quanlin was silent for a moment, then let out a long sigh: "I'm just an old man, my thinking can't keep up."

"What are you saying? Julong Steel is still counting on you to hold the fort."

An old person in the family is like a treasure. Lu Shenwei was waiting for everything to be sorted out before handing the factory over to Ma Quanlin and others, so he could be a hands-off manager.

"By the way, the matter of expanding the factory that Director Zhou promised us has been approved by the Planning Bureau, an eastern expansion of 300 acres." Ma Quanlin suddenly said.

300 acres is not small, completely enough for the development of Julong Steel in the next few years.

"Uncle Ma, you keep a close eye on this matter, don't worry about the land price."

"Industrial land doesn't cost much, but there are many ancient trees on the land planned for us, which are not easy to move."

"Try to avoid the ancient trees. If you really can't, find someone to prune them. It's not bad to have some greenery in the factory area."

Lu Shenwei gave simple instructions, and for the next two days, all of Julong Steel was in action.

The Qinchuan Stadium was decorated to look brand new, and eight longmao agricultural vehicles were transported to the central stage of the stadium.

"Everything is prepared, just waiting for the press conference tomorrow morning." Wang Zizhong said with a relieved face.

Lu Shenwei asked: "Did Lis Group not cause any more trouble?"

"Except for their previous price reduction on agricultural machinery, there have been no other actions." Zhou Cun said.

A week ago, the Qinchuan Administration for Industry and Commerce and the Tax Bureau launched a joint inspection, with the first stop being Lis Group.

Regarding this overt warning, Li Zewen accepted it all and stated that he would abide by the law.

Ma Quanlin said worriedly: "Xiao Lu, this is not like the personality of the eldest of the Li family. We should be more prepared."

One should not have the intention to harm others, but one must have the intention to guard against others.

"Director Ma, rest assured, we have already prepared more than 200 security guards, and the City Patrol Police Bureau has also sent many Patrol Police to keep an eye on things." Zhou Cun said.

Lu Shenwei pondered: "Uncle Ma is right. Tomorrow's event will be monitored by drones 24 hours a day. There must be no mistakes."

Everything is ready, just waiting for the east wind. The next morning.

The Julong Steel longmao agricultural vehicle new product launch was held as scheduled at the Qinchuan Stadium.

The press conference scene was crowded and very lively.
