At present, the relationship between the two parties has been initially established, and the other party also knows that it is not appropriate to rashly propose that Chen Chen inject capital. Relatively speaking, technical cooperation is first carried out, and after the relationship becomes more harmonious, everything will come naturally.

And for now, by handing over chip development to pioneer companies, they can invest all their manpower and financial resources in the research and development of the drone itself, which has alleviated the pressure to a certain extent.

Chen Chen fell into deep thought and weighed the pros and cons of this.

A group of senior executives of Grumman Company also knew that he was considering it, and he was consciously staying quiet at the moment, waiting for his reply.

In fact, this matter is still very attractive to Chen Chen. He was considering developing smart weapons, and he also needed to improve the current chips and develop more advanced finished products. It is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity now.

Taking Grumman's drone as a test platform to obtain more test and even practical data, this is definitely beneficial and harmless for subsequent development, and their technology can also provide a lot of reference for themselves.

After thinking about this festival, Chen Chen finally raised his head and looked at everyone calmly: "How long is the specific deadline the military gives you?"

"The military request is to finalize the final model within three months." Harry responded without hesitation: "They hope to deliver the first twenty-four aircraft at the beginning of next year, so time is very tight."

"Three months... Fortunately..." Hearing this, Chen Chen pondered for a moment, then looked at everyone seriously: "Then, please send a letter of invitation to Miss Olijia, the representative of the pioneer company. I will quickly start the second-generation chip research and development to cooperate with your drone project."

"Did you agree?" Hearing this reply, Harry couldn't help but stand up excitedly, walked to Chen Chen a few steps and stretched out his right hand: "Great! Invite a bid? No, no, there is no need to invite a bid. I will send someone to Finland to sign a R&D agreement with Miss Olija in person."

"Okay!" Chen Chen also stood up and stretched out his right hand to hold it with the other party: "Then let's have a happy cooperation."

"Happy cooperation." Harry looked excited and shook his right hand a few times.

"Actually, there is another thing that you can consider..." At this time, Chen Chen thought of technical reference again and took the initiative to make a request: "The pioneer company also has some of its own technical understanding. If feasible, it should also play a role in R&D. Of course, for technical confidentiality, this is not forced. It depends on your intention."

"Do you hope to cooperate in R&D?" Harry didn't understand Chen Chen's meaning for a while, and thought he wanted to participate in R&D.

"No, I think I understand what Mr. Chen means..." Clarence suddenly thought of Chen Chen's improvements to the aerodynamic layout of the drone, and stood up excitedly and said, "Mr. Chen has spoken out. The pioneer company will not directly participate in weapon development. Therefore, he does not want to cooperate with us in development, but just hopes to participate in research and development and use the technology he has mastered to give us some help."

"That's it!" Chen Chen nodded in agreement: "Since I said that the Pioneer Company Department directly participated in weapon development, I can't slap myself in the mouth, but I just want to use some personal experience to make some suggestions."

"That's great!" Victor was also excited, and his body couldn't help trembling a few times: "I have seen Mr. Chen's technical attainments with his own eyes. If you are involved, it will definitely help us a lot."

"Our technical director said this. It seems that there is no need to think about it anymore." Seeing this, Harry laughed: "Then let's formally invite Mr. Chen to participate in the research and development in an informal way."

"This is the best." Chen Chen nodded with satisfaction: "I don't want the media to gossip."

These words made everyone present laugh.

The cooperation matter was negotiated, and both parties had obtained what they needed, and everyone was very happy. Considering that Chen Chen had been invited to participate in the research and development, he simply invited him to visit the Advanced Technology and Design Center.

When the group came here, Chen Chen first saw the x-48 test machine he picked up the day before. In the hangar next to it, another large drone was parked, with a length of more than ten meters and a wingspan of more than fifteen meters. The appearance was similar to the test machine he saw the day before.

At this moment, many technicians are busy on large drones, removing some shells and installing new ones, which seems to be improving the appearance.

"This is the real x-48 prototype, right?" Seeing this scene, Chen Chen immediately understood and turned to look at Victor: "And that small one is just a prototype for performance testing?"

"Yes." Victor immediately gave a positive reply: "The small prototype was originally intended to test performance. Yesterday you pointed out the problems with the aerodynamic layout. We immediately refer to the prototype to improve the prototype."

"I just said that the small prototype is not enough at all, and the load capacity cannot meet the actual combat requirements." Chen Chen nodded understandingly and walked forward to check it carefully: "But the current improvement is not perfect, and there are still some problems. After the next test, we will get the data and improve it further. This is the case for the time being."

"That's right!" Victor laughed: "I'd like to ask Mr. Chen for more advice."

Everyone visited the Advanced Technology and Design Center, and Chen Chen pointed out some minor problems with x-48. Hearing that Victor nodded repeatedly and quickly asked his subordinates to record it.

The day passed quickly, and Harry held a banquet and then everyone dispersed.

Then, it was the opening day of the North American Military Industry Expo.

…………

This expo was not important to Chen Chen, and it was basically just a chance to have fun, so I slept comfortably and when I arrived at the Montana exhibition site, it was already ten o'clock.

But this is also good. At least it is staggered by the complicated opening ceremony, so you don’t have to listen to the long discussions of a group of big names.

When I arrived at the main entrance of the venue, I reported my name to the gatekeeper. The gatekeeper immediately checked the list, found Chen Chen's name, and immediately sent him respectfully into the venue.

This time the organizer was also very considerate and specially set up an emcee at the entrance. Whenever a big shot is present, he will make a loud announcement to create momentum and show that the expo is world-class.

Therefore, the moment Chen Chen walked into the venue, the emcee loudly announced through the loudspeaker: "This exhibition is also honored to invite the head of the Pioneer Company, Mr. Chen, who has entered the venue!"

This introduction is immediately spread throughout the audience through the loudspeaker.

So, Chen Chen was immediately surrounded by a large group of media reporters waiting at the entrance.

"Mr. Chen, Pioneer Company also participated in this fair. Does it mean that Pioneer Company intends to get involved in the military industry?"

"Mr. Chen, do you have any idea of ​​getting some orders when you come to the expo this time?"

"Mr. Chen, you promised at a press conference not to get involved in weapons development, and now you are here to participate in the expo. Does it mean you are planning to deny your previous statement?"

Dozens of microphones were aimed at Chen Chen like dozens of guns, and all kinds of sharp questions were covered like bullets, which made Chen Chen feel overwhelmed. He was really convinced by these reporters and wanted to dig something for you even if he had nothing to do.

With a headache, he simply kept silent and walked along the venue.

The entire venue was very vast, and the latest achievements exhibited by various companies were densely packed on the lawns. Various fighter jets and tanks, as well as various dazzling light weapons, almost dazzled Chen Chen's eyes.

It is worthy of being the world's largest military industrial expo, which almost covers various products from major weapons manufacturers around the world. You can even see some conceptual weapons and equipment that represent the future development direction.

For example, a company launched a conceptual laser gun for the future battlefield. Of course, the light emitted can only burn through a layer of cardboard.

Another company launched a new type of combat robot, which actually changed the tank tracks into six-legged ones and then put on a turret, which looked like an iron spider that had magnified countless times.

After watching for a while, Chen Chen became a little bored.

These things may be very advanced in the real world, but they are still far from the technology of Plane Prison. If you don’t say anything else, just make a sickle mecha or apocalypse tank out, which is enough to make the people here go crazy.

Not to mention the mecha in the full metal craze. If one is made out, it will probably scare everyone here to death.

When I was bored, I wandered around casually, while looking for the booth of the pioneer company.

The reporters next to him were still relentless and were still circling around Chen Chen. Some TV reporters even started to report on the spot: "We are at the North American Military Industry Expo. We saw that Chen Chen from Pioneer Company also came to the scene. He kept silent about whether Pioneer Company was involved in weapons manufacturing, which also made us have a lot of imagination..."

Hearing this, Chen Chen wanted to rush up and strangle the reporter to death!

Imagine? Send you to heaven and slowly imagine!

Forget it, let’s find the booth of Pioneer Company as soon as possible.

Although I don’t care about this exhibition and participated in it just to use it to visit, I thought that the booth of the Pioneer Company would be very shabby, but when I thought about the shabby, I didn’t expect it to be so shabby.
Chapter completed!
