Chapter 108 Desperate Drone Fellows

On December 2014, 12, more than half a month had passed since the "Skynet" operation, and the popularity of related news had subsided.

Among them, it is worth mentioning that Xiaojiang drones have become very popular in recent days because their sales have created a miracle.

The reason for all this is that Xiaojiang Drone has launched an "intelligent flight control" function that supports new and old Xiaojiang drones.

After users activate the 'Xiaojiang Monthly Membership', they can control the drone's fully automatic intelligent flight through voice commands to the artificial intelligence Jarvis and achieve various intelligent shooting goals.

Moreover, the shooting angle and picture brightness are much better than human control, and it is more efficient and quicker.

After all, there are not many ordinary people who know professional shooting techniques, and real professional shooting techniques are a science.

It needs to consider the surrounding ambient light, shooting angle, and camera parameters for manual adjustment.

But these professional shooting techniques are naturally nothing to Jarvis, so under the same circumstances, the eye-catching effect of the pictures taken by Jarvis is far greater than that taken by ordinary people.

This is the benefit of the era of artificial intelligence, and it is also the power of the general AGI artificial intelligence Jarvis!

With the launch of this "intelligent flight control" function, drone enthusiasts around the world immediately let out excited howls.

Other domestic and foreign drone companies were collectively silent, feeling that the sky was falling.

Because they want to come up with the same 'intelligent flight' function, which is simply impossible.

The only thing they can do is to launch 'fly with people' or 'fly with gestures'.

But wanting to give orders by voice, and then let artificial intelligence understand what you mean and control the drone to complete a fully automatic flight mission, this is something that can only be done in science fiction movies.

After all, the best artificial intelligence currently, Siri, the artificial intelligence assistant developed by Pingguo Company, is called artificial idiocy because it is simply unable to understand the meaning of human speech.

In this case, how can they achieve the "intelligent flight" function like the Xiaojiang drone?

Absolutely impossible!
Faced with this situation, those drone companies naturally lost their voices collectively and felt deeply desperate.

Because even though it may seem like a small matter to use voice commands to control a drone using artificial intelligence Jarvis to complete a shooting task, there are even enthusiasts on the Internet who say that the fun of driving a drone is only achieved by manually controlling the drone.

But just listen to the words of those so-called enthusiasts. This thing is just like the automatic and manual transmission of a car.

Although many people say that manual transmission is the most fun to drive, it is also more fuel-efficient and durable.

But the vast majority of consumers will vote with their feet and tell you what our choice is.

So when faced with the intelligent automatic flight control function of the Xinjiang UAV, which is just like an automatic car, all other drone companies are trembling in fear, as if the sky is falling.

Faced with such a desperate situation, they either choose to completely abandon the field of consumer drones, or give up competing head-on with Xiaojiang drones.

Among them, the drone companies that gave up competing directly with Xiaojiang drones mainly chose the toy industry or the film and television shooting industry.

It mainly launches micro drones for teenagers to buy or professional drones for film and television industry shooting, avoiding direct competition with Xiaojiang drones.

As for companies giving up on the consumer drone market?
They can either specialize in selling flight control software and hardware like the previous Xiaojiang drone, or switch to making drones for other purposes. For example, Zero and Ehang, which have been suppressed by Xiaojiang drone company in China, have two choices.

First of all, in addition to maintaining its traditional business of selling flight control systems, Zero Degree chose to enter the field of agricultural drones to avoid direct competition with Xiaojiang drones.

As for Ehang, in addition to maintaining its traditional business of selling flight control systems, it has chosen to enter the field of express drones and small delivery drones.

Not to mention, their decision to enter the field of express delivery drones and small delivery drones is correct, because Xiaojiang Drone Company will not enter this field.

And when they promoted their plan, they successfully attracted the favor of domestic and foreign capital and obtained US$200 million in financing.

After all, ever since Daxia issued a series of standard documents on drones, drones have become legalized and entered a new era of "having laws to follow."

As long as their drones are qualified and pass the review, they can sell them openly and even allow them to fly in designated areas.

Under such circumstances, those domestic and foreign investors with a keen sense of smell naturally fully support Ehang’s decision to develop express drones and delivery drones.

In this regard, Ehang’s success naturally inspired other drone companies at home and abroad.

Even Zero Degree, which had previously announced that it would enter the field of agricultural drones, quickly stated that it would also enter the field of express delivery drones and delivery drones.

It can be said that except for Xiaojiang Drone, which has not made any statement, other domestic and foreign drone companies have expressed their intention to develop express drones and delivery drones.

I believe that if future generations compile historical statistics, they will mark the day when Ehang announced the development of express and delivery drones as the first year of the great development of express and delivery drones.

Of course, Xingtu Technology is definitely an important role in this, but the protagonists of the incident are Ehang and others. Tens of millions of couriers and their families around the world will only scold them.

When they have cursed to a certain extent and taken enough blame, it will be a natural opportunity for Xingtu Technology to come in and reap the benefits.

Although Ehang may have opened up the market a year or two in advance, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, which owns the artificial intelligence Jarvis, is not at all panicked.

This is just like Douyin in the previous life. Even if you have entered the market a few years earlier, I, Douyin, will tell you that it is completely useless!

Of course, these are all things in the future.

During this half month, the most obvious change for Xiaojiang UAV is that their drones were sold out.

Currently, Wang Tao is troubled by the mass production problem of drones and is said to be preparing to build a new drone factory again.

By then, the production capacity of drones will increase more than ten times, and the total capacity will be 100 million drones of various types per month!
However, Lin Feng did not pay attention to these things, and did not even care about them.

Because as long as Xiaojiang UAV develops well, how to expand production and operate internally is the business of Xiaojiang UAV management team.

If he is personally involved in everything, then why would he spend such a huge amount of money to acquire Xiaojiang drones? Wouldn't it be better to directly operate the drone business himself?
But without further ado, as time came to December 2014, 12, on this day, Lin Feng finally made his big move that he had been holding back.

The name of this ultimate move is deep sleep aid!
