Chapter 96 Trading
There are simulated flight machines in the virtual reality experience area. You can see the CJVI and Falcon simulators here. Among them, CJVI and L-15 Falcon were trained by Yang Luo in Haicheng.
Models of aircraft flying over the base.
The simulator here is not very different from the simulator at Haicheng Base. The only difference is the display screen. The normal simulator has a large display screen directly in front of it to display the flight attitude of the simulated aircraft, while the simulation here
The machine is displayed through VR equipment.
"This is our experience area. We have developed three generations of products in total, all of which are installed on simulators. The three simulators on the left are the first-generation products, the one in the middle is the second-generation, and the one on the right is the third-generation product.
"Yang Huaidao introduced.
Yang Luo had seen all the simulators, but there was nothing good to see. Yang Luo was curious about the VR display device. He walked directly to a simulator and picked up a VR display device to look at it.
Civilian VR monitors are called VR glasses. However, it is obviously inappropriate to call them glasses here. They are more like a helmet, a bit like a flight helmet.
"This is the second generation product, designed after the flight helmet worn by your pilots..." Yang Huaidao introduced eloquently.
"Can I try it?" Yang Luo looked at Yang Huaidao and asked.
"Of course, how can you know the effect without trying it." Yang Huaidao said with a smile, "Wait a moment, I will start the equipment."
After saying this, Yang Huaidao walked towards the console of the simulator, preparing to power on and activate the flight simulator.
Yang Luo nodded, climbed into the simulator, and sat in the cockpit of the simulator. This was an L-15 Falcon simulator. Yang Luo was very familiar with it and made preparations very skillfully.
After Yang Huaidao powered on the simulator and activated it, he walked to the side of the simulator, explained the usage and precautions to Yang Luo, and then stepped aside.
Yang Luo first started the simulation systems on the simulator, then put on the VR display device. His eyes went dark and then brightened. In Yang Luo's visual world, he came to an airport and was sitting in the cockpit of the L-15. In front of him was
A straight runway fifty meters wide, surrounded by an empty space.
What he saw in front of him made Yang Luo's eyes light up. He felt like he was in the system space. It felt very real.
Skillfully pulling the lever and pushing the throttle, Yang Luo flew the virtual plane into the air. It flew at high altitude for a while, and then conducted a sub-low-altitude penetration.
The overall feeling for Yang Luo is pretty good. Although it is not as good as expected, the difference is not very big.
In high-altitude training, this kind of VR equipment is really not very useful at present. Since high-altitude flight is instrument flight, the pilot's eyes need to look at the instrument panel instead of looking straight ahead through the cockpit glass. At the same time, he wears a VR display device to block it.
Without looking at reality, this is a big problem for students who are just learning to fly. They will not be able to find where the various switches are, or even where the throttle valve is.
But it is no problem to use it for training low-altitude penetration. Low-altitude penetration mainly relies on the pilot's eyes and body perception, and the instrument panel is only an auxiliary. Blocking the real line of sight is not a problem, and it can basically be used in low-altitude penetration.
The ones are the throttle, the joystick and the left and right rudders, which happen to be both hands and feet.
The only thing that differs from Yang Luo's expectations is the sense of reality. Compared with the sense of reality of the system space, this VR equipment is simply weak.
Anyway, Yang Luo didn't feel fear during the low-altitude penetration. In the system space, although he knew it was fake, he could still feel it to some extent. In reality, low-altitude penetration was the flight that made Yang Luo feel the most fear.
Even though Yang Luo can fly very low and very fast during a low-altitude breakthrough, in fact he is also fearful and has psychological pressure.
"How do you feel?" Seeing Yang Luo finish the experience and step off the simulator, Yang Huaidao stepped forward and asked.
"It's okay." Yang Luo replied with two words calmly.
Hearing Yang Luo's answer, Yang Huaidao looked disappointed and said hurriedly: "We still have a third-generation product, you can try it again."
"Okay." Yang Luo nodded and also chose the L-15 Falcon simulator.
Compared with the second generation, the third generation has visual improvements and is clearer and more realistic, but it has narrowed the visual range, which is a big failure. There is also no difference for Yang in terms of the experience of low-altitude penetration.
Yang Luo didn't even miss the first-generation product and experienced it.
Overall, Yang Luo is quite disappointed, and his expectations for current VR technology are still too high.
If you really want to purchase equipment, after comprehensively comparing the three generations of products, Yang Luo believes that the second generation VR equipment best meets his requirements. Although he himself has not experienced the feeling of fear, it may be because he is basically immune to simulated things.
But others may not necessarily. Besides, even if others don't feel fear, it would be good to let them experience the different heights and speeds when penetrating defenses at low altitudes on the ground and the mountains. It may also be helpful for special training.
The key issue now is the price. The budget is only 500,000. Is such a product useful and meaningful if I can only buy one or two sets?
Or should we just go back, work harder, and take them to fly a few more low-altitude penetrations?
Seeing Yang Luo experiencing three generations of products and meditating on the sidelines, Yang Huaidao asked nervously: "Comrade Yang Luo, how is our equipment? Does it meet your requirements?"
"How much does your second-generation equipment cost?" Yang Luo did not answer, but asked instead. He is not a businessman, and there are not so many twists and turns. It would be better to be more direct.
"this……"
This question actually stumped Yang Huaidao. They planned to sell this product together with the simulator, and the VR equipment was not priced separately.
"Comrade Yang Luo, we have not set a separate price. We only added the cost to the price of the simulator. To be honest, I don't know how much a separate set of equipment costs." Yang Huaidao said with a bitter smile.
"I don't need your simulator. It's useless to buy it. I'm going to install it on our division's simulator." Yang Luo said.
After thinking for a while, Yang Huaidao said: "Comrade Yang Luo, please wait a moment, we need to discuss it."
Yang Huaidao didn't want to give up on this business. They worked hard on it for several years and kept investing money in it. They hardly saw the money coming back. They couldn't even stand it anymore. If they don't create profits, research funds may be cut.
This is why he, a project leader with the rank of colonel, personally picked up Lieutenant Yang Luo and stayed with him all the time.
"No problem, I can wait." Yang Luo found a chair and sat down.
Yang Huaidao called the researchers he brought aside and discussed in low voices. After an argument, Yang Huaidao took out his phone and asked for instructions from his superiors.
When Yang Luo got a little impatient in waiting, Yang Huaidao finally came back with the result.
"Comrade Yang Luo, I want to know how many sets you need?" Yang Huaidao sat down opposite Yang Luo and asked.
"It's best to have nine sets. If the price is too high, then I have to consider whether to purchase it." Yang Luo reported the number he hoped to purchase.
Yang Huaidao breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I can provide you with nine sets of equipment, and I won't charge you a penny."
"What about the conditions?"
Yang Luo knew very well that there is no free lunch in the world. Since Yang Huaidao dared to give it to him for free, there must be conditions attached.
"I hope you can put forward opinions on our products from the perspective of users. At the same time, if our products are helpful to your training, you should summarize your usage experience and write it into a paper and give it to us.
It will be published in relevant internal military journals. Don't worry, the signature is still yours." Yang Huaidao stated the conditions one by one.
This is the result of their discussion and approval by their superiors.
A few sets of VR equipment cost only a million dollars at best, but if used for experiments and exchanged for a useful paper, the VR equipment may open up sales.
“No problem at all, it’s a pleasure to work with you.”
Yang Luo instantly understood Yang Huaidao's intention and didn't mind at all. He didn't lose anything. He still signed the paper, but he just submitted it through their hands. The key was that he saved money and got equipment.
"It's a pleasure to cooperate." Yang Huaidao smiled like a flower, stretched out his hand and shook it with Yang Luo.
Next, the two discussed the delivery issue, and the result of the discussion was that early tomorrow morning, Yang Huaidao would take the people and equipment north to the Anxian depot, striving to complete the delivery and put it into use within five days.
Finally, the two happily signed the contract.
Logically speaking, Yang Luo was not qualified to sign a purchase contract. The task given to him by Song Yongqi was only to determine the equipment and unit price, but he was not authorized to sign.
But now the complete situation is that not a penny has been spent, and the conditions given by Yang Huaidao are also related to Yang Luo.
After signing the contract, the two shook hands friendly and happily again, and then Yang Luo said goodbye and prepared to return home.
Yang Huaidao repeatedly tried to persuade him to stay, but Yang Luo finally refused and the pilot embarked on the return route.
"You are young and promising!"
Thinking of Yang Luo's last words, Yang Huaidao sighed as he watched them gradually disappear into the night.
On the way to send Yang Luo to the airport, Yang Huaidao asked curiously: "Comrade Yang Luo, you can only use one piece of equipment, so why do you need nine?"
At that time, Yang Huaidao couldn't help but despise Yang Luo because Yang Luo was too young.
Yang Luo answered this way: "I am working as an instructor, conducting special low-altitude penetration training for nine pilots."
