Chapter 642: Chief, you are so good at technology!
The night was as dark as ink and so thick that it seemed to swallow everything. Only sporadic moonlight shone through the thick clouds, barely illuminating the outline of the entire night market.
Today's night market has long lost its former prosperity, and a strong smell of death is everywhere.
The smell of decay, blood, and burning mixed together and spread to every corner of the city.
On the streets, abandoned vehicles were piled up in a haphazard manner, their rusty bodies and broken windshields glowing coldly in the dim light.
The building's exterior was covered in bloodstains and scratches, as if it had been torn apart by countless pairs of desperate hands.
The shop windows were smashed and the goods inside were scattered all over the floor, as if it had been the scene of a bloody battle.
The glass curtain walls of the skyscrapers in the distance were shattered, like hideous cracks, silently devouring the gloomy moonlight.
Huhuhu~
Occasionally, a biting cold wind blew by, and the yellowed, curled newspapers and plastic bags on the ground were rolled up, making a rustling sound, as if something indescribable was whispering in the ears, rubbing the fragile nerves.
From the shadows, low roars can often be heard, as aimlessly wandering zombies roam the crossroads of civilization.
Their footsteps were slow and heavy, like they were stepping on people's hearts, making people shudder.
The night is getting deeper and deeper...
The ruins of the city looked particularly eerie in the darkness, like a huge tomb burying former civilization and hope.
buzz~
suddenly
In the darkness of the night, a low humming sound broke the endless silence.
At first, the sound was like a swarm of bees in the distance, faint and chaotic, but as time went on, it gradually became clearer, like countless mechanical insects flapping their wings in the darkness.
As time went on, dense swarms of drones silently entered the sky over the city like ghosts.
These drones come in various shapes, some as small as birds, some as large as eagles, with faint red or green signal lights flashing on their fuselages, like scattered stars in the night sky.
They dispersed at an extremely fast speed, some hovered up along the outer walls of tall buildings, while others flew low over the streets, with the onboard cameras emitting cold blue light, scanning every corner.
At this time, in the Ye Province Military Drone Control Center, a large control room that can accommodate 100 drone operators working simultaneously was filled with drone troops wearing starry sky camouflage training uniforms.
They were seen wearing headphones, holding putters in their hands, and concentrating on looking at the display screen in front of them.
These screens show the real-time images transmitted back by drones.
"Professor Wang, I remember that the control distance of civilian drones is not that far, right?"
"How do you control so many drones from dozens of kilometers away?"
In front of the main console in the operation room, Shao Gang, deputy commander of the provincial military region, stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the ultra-high-definition LED splicing screen in front of him, and asked the skinny old man in military uniform next to him.
He just came here after attending today's cooperation meeting. He had only learned about it from the approval documents before, so he was full of curiosity about it.
Hearing this, Wang Wenjia pulled at the hem of his military uniform somewhat uncomfortably, his heart filled with emotion. He had never expected that he could still be a soldier at such an old age.
Well, he was promoted to colonel after joining the army. This is a magical encounter in life...
"Commander, because these drones have been simply modified by us and equipped with our military district's data link module, they can extend the control distance through our data link system!"
"In addition, in order to adapt to the control distance, we also made a simple range-extending modification to the drone battery."
"It's just that due to the size of the drone, some drones, although they have extended their range, can only go one way..."
Speaking of this, Wang Wenjia couldn't help but show a hint of embarrassment on his face.
"One-way? You mean you can only fly out but not back?"
"That's right. Since we don't have a drone factory, these civilian-grade drones were collected from the occupied areas. Most of them are just entry-level civilian drones..."
"There are relatively few high-end civilian drones like Dajiang."
Upon hearing this, Shao Gang, deputy commander of the provincial military region, nodded as if he understood:
"I see. You mean we're still short of a drone factory?"
...
? ?
After the words fell, even though Wang Wenjia was a scientific giant who had enjoyed special state subsidies before the end of the world, he couldn't help but shut down. What kind of thinking mode is this? ?
Then, Wang Wenjia's confusion quickly turned into ecstasy!
Damn it, it has to be the deputy commander of Shaogang who is in charge of logistics who understands technology. He really knows scientific research!!!
"Yes, yes, yes. I didn't expect that you, Commander, have such a deep understanding of technology!"
hi~
Shao Gang waved his hand indifferently
"I love what I do. Logistics involves many aspects, so I have to learn a lot. It can be said that a long illness makes a good doctor."
"Then, you should prepare a project list as soon as possible. The Provincial Department of Industry is currently integrating factories and industrial equipment in the recovered areas. If you think you need any equipment, just report it to us!"
"If you report too late, the goods will have been distributed by the factories below by then!"
"Yes Yes Yes!!"
Wang Wenjia nodded repeatedly after hearing Shao Gang's words, thinking that it was really great to invite him to inspect the first round of drone recruitment work!
This is not a leader at all, he is simply the God of Wealth!!
I thought it would just be some empty compliments, but I didn't expect it to actually result in gold coins!
Is it okay to directly blow up a drone factory? ? !
Needless to say, the factory that I have fought for must be affiliated with my current information technology research center!
When Wang Wenjia thought about his research center becoming stronger again, he squinted his eyes and smiled a little tipsy, as if he had drunk fine wine.
"Report to the commander, the drone swarm has arrived at the designated area!" At this moment, a major officer trotted over to report.
Upon hearing this, Shao Gang and Wang Wenjia ended their conversation and turned their attention back to the big screen.
"Implement according to the plan!" Shao Gang, deputy commander of the provincial military region, gave a decisive order.
"Yes!"
As soon as the words fell, 100 drones in the direction of the night market city center officially entered work status under the control of the operators!
...
buzz~
On the streets of the night market, as a large number of drones advanced, they quickly attracted the attention of the zombies below.
One by one, the zombies slowly raised their heads, looked up at the sky with their empty eye sockets, and revealed their bloody faces to the drone screen.
But soon the zombies lost interest in the drones, for no other reason than that these strange creatures in the sky did not smell of flesh and blood...
As for the monsters hiding in the dark, they would look up nervously through the broken windows and shadows in the corners, their hearts full of doubts and vigilance.
As the drones moved deeper, their movements became more orderly and they were in no rush to start broadcasting.
Instead, they began to deploy small devices such as sensors, signal repeaters, small cameras, etc. at key nodes in the city.
After landing, these devices started to work immediately, emitting a faint buzzing sound, which complemented the signal lights of the drones, as if injecting a bit of new vitality into this dead city.
As if sensing the doubts of the big moneybags around him, Wang Wenjia took the initiative to explain before the provincial military commander Shao Gang asked:
"Commander, this is also part of our plan. This time, drones are entering the night market on a large scale. The main purpose is to recruit soldiers, but there are also scientific research tasks."
"These small sensors, signal repeaters, and cameras will not only help us study the spectrum of apocalyptic monsters, but will also help enhance our army's comprehensive information perception capabilities of the night market!"
"We plan to deploy at least 7 pieces of information sensing equipment to the night market. In the future, relying on the high-altitude capabilities of the Falcon military drone, we can establish a full-domain sensing combat system for the night market."
“When the army officially retakes the night market, the soldiers can use their personal computers to play it like playing video games.” Afraid that Shao Gang might not understand, Wang Wenjia thoughtfully made a trendy analogy.
"Which area has which monsters, what kind of monsters, what to watch out for, what weapons to use, what formation to adopt, all these will be given suggestions by the portable intelligent AI!"
"Soldiers can also input specific real-life situations to assist AI in making tactical revisions."
"I understand!" Upon hearing this, Shao Gang, deputy commander of the provincial military region, nodded again as if he had suddenly realized something.
“So we’re still lacking an AI research institute?”
"I remember that Ye'an New District, as one of the key hubs for the country's "East Data and West Computing", recovered nearly 20 large data centers in the recent recovery operation."
"Let's also write a project approval form for this AI research institute. I'll approve it for you. How many do you need?"
Hearing this, if Wang Wenjia hadn't been concerned about age and gender, she would have wanted to give Shao Gang two kisses on the face! !
"Commander, you are so good at technology and grasping the key points!!"
