Chapter 5 - Technology

"Alright, then let's get down to business."

Nick said solemnly to everyone: "Before the meeting, each of you was required to sign a confidentiality agreement."

"I know everyone is quite curious about this, and some might even be nervous, wondering if we are doing something illegal."

"I can assure you here that everything we do is legal and compliant. The reason for the confidentiality agreement is that we are conducting research and development on a new technology."

"As for the specific details of this technology, I will introduce them specifically at the subsequent R&D meeting, so I won't say more here."

"I will now talk about the upcoming work plan, and I hope everyone listens carefully."

"Let me explain it."

Tyler left his seat and wrote a big number '39' on the blackboard in front of the conference table.

"39 days, this is the deadline for our current work plan. In 39 days, we will take our newly developed product to attend the annual 'International Internet Innovation Technology Expo'."

"Therefore, the work in these 39 days is mainly to prepare for our new product development and attending this exhibition."

"So, in these days, the work of your technical R&D team is the top priority."

After Tyler finished speaking, he asked everyone: "Alright, I'll stop here for now. If anyone has any questions, you can ask now."

"May I ask a question?" Terry raised his hand.

"Of course, go ahead." Tyler smiled.

Terry asked Tyler and Nick: "Our team needs a name, right?"

A name? They really hadn't thought about that.

They had spent this time thinking about technical matters; he really hadn't seriously thought about anything else. So, he didn't have any ideas for a name at the moment.

Seeing Nick's tightly furrowed brows, Tyler smiled at everyone: "Naming a company is quite a serious matter, but we are all young people and are engaged in high-tech fields, so there is nothing to worry about."

"Everyone can feel free to make suggestions, let's brainstorm together."

"If you ask me, let's call it Zirconium Tech, what do you think, it sounds like 'good' technology, how is it? Creative enough, right?" Zack laughed.

"Get out of here, you're just slacking off." Tyler scolded with a laugh, then turned to Nick, who was still thinking: "If you ask me, why not call it Nicktech or Barney's Bizarre Brain-Busters? In fact, many great tech companies use surnames for their company name's."

"According to that logic, there are also companies that use fruit, grains, and flowers as company names." Nick rolled his eyes.

"Fruit is good, pineapple, banana, orange, apple. Oh, Apple won't work, it's already registered." Zack laughed.

Hahahaha...

After a burst of laughter, Nick said to everyone: "Let's call it Militech."

Zack asked first: "Militech, what does it mean?"

Nick smiled and explained: "It's in the name man, Military Technology. Of course, we'll have branches in the future but our focus is the military industry."

"Militech, Militech! Good name, let's use it!"

Amidst the applause of everyone, their team, or rather their company, finally had its own name.

Hearing the applause, Nick couldn't help but raise his head, sighing slightly in his heart, this vast, boundless starry sky.

Although everyone had different opinions, Nick was the one in charge. Since he had decided, it was not easy for others to propose other options. Anyway, the name Militech was not bad, so they would just use it.

After chatting for a while, the meeting ended, and work began immediately.

Tyler and Jamie went to handle the relevant matters for establishing the company. As for Nick, Zack, and Terry, they sat together for the first work meeting of the technical R&D team.

"Alright, now I will introduce the work we are going to do."

Nick opened the PPT on his computer and introduced it to the two: "This is a technology about drone swarm array control. I have already created the general framework for this technology, but it is not yet perfect."

"So, in the coming period, what we need to do is to perfect this technology."

"And in the period before the exhibition, apply it to drones, so that it can be presented to the audience more intuitively and three-dimensionally."

"Drone and drone swarm array flight control technology, this seems to already exist, and our country seems to be at the forefront of the world in this field." Terry lived up to his reputation as an aviation fan, and as soon as he finished speaking, he raised this question.

Nick nodded and smiled: "That's right, drone technology is developing very fast now, and there has been great progress in swarm formation. But I am confident that my swarm array control technology is absolutely a revolutionary improvement to the current drone formation swarm technology."

Seeing the two interested, Nick continued: "I won't talk about drone technology, let's talk about the key point of this technology, which is the swarm formation aspect of drones."

"And this field is divided into two parts. The first branch is for fixed sites, which can also be understood as the swarm formation technology of N drones in a fixed three-dimensional space."

"And the second branch is the swarm formation technology of N drones in a moving three-dimensional space."

"The former is mostly used for the drone light shows we are familiar with. The most drone formation light show we know of is the New Year's performance with drones in Vegas."

"The latter is mostly used for research and exploration in the military field. According to the public information we know, the current world record is the swarm flight experiment of 169 drones conducted by the US Air Force."

"From this, we can see that drone swarm formation technology in moving three-dimensional space is much more difficult than drone swarm formation technology in fixed three-dimensional space. Of course, the corresponding value has also increased significantly."

Speaking of this, Nick looked at the two, then changed to a new page and continued: "The latter, which is drone formation technology in moving space, we do not have the conditions for yet."

"So we can only start from the swarm formation technology of N drones in a fixed three-dimensional space."

"What are the advantages of your technology compared to the current fixed-site drone formation swarm technology in the industry? You should know that this technology has already developed significantly, and relying on just a little improvement is probably not enough to open up the situation." Zack said to Nick.

"Don't worry, our technology is absolutely pioneering."

Nick changed the PPT page and said: "The current fixed-site drone formation swarm technology on the market mainly sets digital base points in the venue, using a digital coordinate system. It uses radio triangulation, gyroscopes, inertial navigation, GPS, and other technologies to achieve swarm flight of drones and corresponding formation changes."

"The swarm and formation changes carried out by N drones are all controlled by the corresponding programs set in advance in the host computer."

"Simply put, it is controlled by a host computer for N drones to perform formation flight shows."

"So this will also produce many variables. After all, the program is dead, but external factors are constantly changing."

"Such as complex electromagnetic interference, wind speed, humidity, and air pressure will all affect the position and flight attitude of these drones."

"But the programmed program is dead and cannot be adjusted in time according to these changes."

"Even if the system can perform calculations in this regard, it will be slow due to too much data, which will affect the chaos and slowness of the fleet formation, and fail to achieve the expected effect. This is also why we often see so many cases of failed drone formation light shows."
