#284 - Chapter 284 The actual combat capability of drones!
The attacked armed personnel moved nimbly, trying to evade the incoming suicide drone.
But he was far too slow compared to the drone, which swooped down and crashed next to him.
“Boom!”
A violent explosion erupted.
Each drone was loaded with three hundred grams of high explosives; anyone within ten meters of the blast would likely not survive.
Even if they were lucky enough to survive, more drones would attack.
“Boom!” “Boom!”
Successive explosions continued to ring out.
Three thousand drones were enough to attack a large area simultaneously.
“Damn it, it’s drones!”
“Immediately activate the drone jammers.”
A leader of the reactionary forces roared.
Their drone jammers weren’t particularly effective, but they were sufficient for ordinary civilian drones.
The Camel Country soldiers had mediocre control skills; with the jammers on, those drones would be mostly useless.
However, even with the jammers activated, the drones in the sky continued their attack.
They seemed completely unaffected!
Lin Chen’s aircraft manufacturing skill was at the grandmaster level; he knew very well how to resist interference and ensure communication.
Each drone could communicate at close range with nearby drones, making the entire drone swarm a unified whole.
The drone jammers couldn’t cover all the drones.
“Boom!” “Boom!”
“Run, hide!”
The drones exploded continuously, and the reactionary armed forces were thrown into panic; those outside frantically tried to hide.
While there were many caves in the mountains, they weren’t everywhere, and it would take them some time to hide.
Moreover, as they hid, the drone would find cave entrances and rush in.
“Buzz——”
Some drones rushed into the caves.
“Boom!” “Boom!”
The drones were even more effective when they exploded in underground shelters; a single drone explosion could kill a dozen people.
Half an hour passed, and the battlefield fell silent.
The first batch of three thousand drones that flew out, Haile had ordered to attack with all their might, and none of them returned.
—Those that didn't find a target also exploded.
Haile looked at the tablet in his hand. Information from the battlefield would be transmitted to his tablet in real-time.
“Enemy casualties exceed six hundred!”
Haile’s heart surged.
Three thousand drones killing more than six hundred people was already a terrifying result!
Many enemies had hidden, and the drones couldn’t find their targets.
Killing more than six hundred reactionary armed personnel was a great victory.
Previously, when they used planes, tanks, artillery, and ground troops, several hundred deaths on their side only resulted in twenty or thirty enemy casualties.
“Order, advance ten kilometers.”
Haile ordered.
Without encountering resistance, they smoothly advanced ten kilometers. The enemy was still in a daze.
“Buzz——”
Another thousand drones took off.
They would search and attack targets within ten kilometers, and they would return to the base to recharge when their battery reached half capacity.
While they were charging, other drones would take off.
Haile currently had seven thousand drones in his hand. With a thousand drones per wave, he could maintain seven waves, and each wave could last for fifteen minutes.
In total, they could last for more than one hundred minutes.
This time was enough for the first wave of drones to fully charge.
Lin Chen had designed the drone batteries to be slightly larger, but they all supported fast charging, and about seventy minutes was enough to fully charge the batteries.
“Your Highness, should we attack?”
“The enemy is now trapped in individual underground shelters; we can find and attack them one by one.”
Faisal said excitedly.
Haile: “Wouldn’t there be casualties?”
Faisal nodded: “There will definitely be casualties in battle, but our casualties will definitely be much smaller than before.”
Haile shook his head.
“Then don’t attack.”
“Under the cover of drones, establish strongholds one by one, so that the drones can be charged nearby. I will have the drones continuously search and monitor the entire area.”
“Anyone who shows their face will be dead!”
Haile didn’t believe that those shelters had enough supplies.
How long could they last without food and water?
“Your Highness, the drones won’t attack us, will they?”
Faisal said with some concern.
Haile shook his head: “No, you are on the whitelist.”
“That’s good, that’s good.”
Faisal sent people to occupy multiple strongholds, making it much easier for nearby drones to charge, allowing them to spend more time on searching and reconnaissance.
“Boom!” “Boom!”
Sporadic people showed their faces, and as soon as they did, they would quickly be discovered and killed by the drones in the sky.
“This thing is really easy to use.”
Haile was overjoyed.
Ten thousand US dollars per drone was a bit expensive, but their anti-interference ability was strong, and the operation was simple.
“Father——”
Haile reported the situation here.
There were still many reactionary armed forces in other places. Of the 50,000 drones they had purchased, there were still 40,000 left, which could be sent to other places to deal with the enemy.
“Haile, well done.”
“This drone is different from ordinary drones.”
“It works so well, buy some more.”
Haile’s father, the Camel King, said happily.
The recent attacks by the reactionary armed forces had given him a headache.
“Father, I have ordered another 100,000. The delivery cycle is one month, costing a total of one billion US dollars.”
Haile said.
On the other end of the phone, the Camel King said: “Compared with their battle results, ten thousand US dollars per drone is not expensive. Warplanes costing tens of millions of US dollars are far less effective than this.”
“If you find any shortcomings in actual combat, communicate with the seller, maybe you can fix them.”
“Pay attention to maintaining a good relationship with the other party. We can’t buy such good drones anywhere else.”
Haile: “Okay, Father.”
After hanging up the phone, Haile called Lin Chen.
“Prince Haile, what’s the matter?”
Haile quickly said: “Master Lin, your drones are very good, we are very satisfied, but they also have small shortcomings, can I offer some suggestions?”
Lin Chen was surprised: “What shortcomings?”
Haile: “Master Lin, one is that charging is a bit troublesome, requiring charging them one by one. Can they be changed to wireless charging?”
“Second, sometimes we need the drones to stop and monitor, so that the battery can last longer.”
Lin Chen replied: “Prince Haile, we have wireless charging platforms, you didn’t buy them before. Also, wireless charging is not as fast as wired charging.”
“It may not be suitable for you.”
“As for stationary monitoring, just install two brackets for them and let them land on the ground. The drones support low-power stationary monitoring.”
Haile’s eyes lit up.
“Master Lin, how long can this monitoring last?”
Lin Chen: “Standard monitoring mode can last for one day, and low-power monitoring can last for three or four days.”
“Some functions will be turned off in low-power mode, the clarity will be reduced, and it is best not to use it in complex environments.”
Haile said happily: “One day is enough for the standard mode. Master Lin, do you have mechanical dogs? Mechanical dogs seem to be more suitable for this job.”
“Not yet.”
Lin Chen replied.
Many knowledge bases are interconnected, and he can develop them, but the developed ones may not be very good. He might as well focus his energy on drones.
“Master Lin, we have put them into actual combat, and the results are very good.”
Haile reported happily.
The corner of Lin Chen’s mouth twitched: “Prince Haile, let me reiterate that Xingmeng Technology is a private enterprise.”
“We sell civilian products.”
