Chapter 56 Hot Shot Deployed

"Four vehicles, armed with guns, about 3 kilometers as the crow flies, and 5 kilometers by car to get to the top of the mountain..."

Xu Ziming untied all the tape from the drones, looked at the four cars chasing after them from below the mountain, and asked Lin Dong, who had also gotten out of one of the cars, "Can you handle your dad's drone?"

"The laser power of the multi-rotor drone is not enough. It would be dangerous for them to drive directly uphill without getting out of the car."

"However, if we can buy some time, I can request support from the base."

Lin Dong said a few words, then quickly took out his laptop from his backpack, turned it on, and connected it to the drone.

"So you're saying they need to get off the bus?"

Xu Ziming glanced at the mountaintop and looked at a large, oval granite boulder, about the height of a person, standing on the edge of the mountain. He then turned to look at Xu Qingling and the others.

"During your search of the mountain, did you see any other infrared signals at the foot of this mountain?"

"The infrared signal here..." Xu Qingling and Li Tao quickly tried to recall.

"Uncle Xu, there are no other infrared signals," Zhang Zihua replied quickly after a moment's thought.

"That's fine, you can all get off the bus."

Xu Ziming opened the car door and let everyone out. He rushed to the driver's seat, stepped on the gas, and the SUV lurched backward, stopping the boulder at the edge of the mountain.

Boom! Boom!

Xu Ziming pressed the accelerator pedal repeatedly, and the engine roared like a giant dragon.

The entire rear bumper could no longer withstand the enormous force and collapsed, leaving the main beam exposed and resting against the boulder.

Xu Ziming pressed the accelerator seven or eight times, when suddenly, the rock that had stood on the mountaintop for millions of years wobbled twice.

The next moment, when Xu Ziming stepped on the gas again, the entire boulder began to slowly tilt downwards, flipped over, and then suddenly increased in speed before rolling down the mountainside.

Rumble!

The boulders rolled and pounded the earth, making a deafening rumble.

At this moment, Lin Dong also entered the drone's startup code, followed by a 48-digit verification password.

[Beep—Drone swarm system unlocked, requesting attack target]

call out--

Three drones soared into the sky and hovered steadily on the mountaintop, their cameras scanning back and forth, overlooking the entire mountain landscape.

next second.

A dual map, consisting of an infrared image and a panoramic image, was refreshed on Lin Dong's laptop.

Without hesitation, Lin Dong quickly selected the four cars below the mountain and pressed the Enter key.

[Beep—The bee swarm has identified its target and is launching an attack!]

A notification popped up on Lin Dong's laptop.

A gust of wind swept up the mountaintop, and the three drones suddenly scattered, forming a standard three-on-three tactic, spaced dozens of meters apart, and quickly swooped down towards the four SUVs below.

"this!"

As Huang Xinhua stepped out of the car, he saw the standard three-by-three arrangement of the drones and couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Engineer Xu, this... is it a combat drone?"

"Civilian drones, but also combat drones."

Xu Ziming drove the car up and explained, "Chief Engineer Lin flashed a combat firmware inside, along with a low-power laser, which can be remotely unlocked in special circumstances."

The core of a multi-rotor drone is its control program; for civilian and military applications, it's simply a matter of changing the control program.

"Didn't you just say it was a toy for children?" Huang Xinhua was still a little confused.

The core technology of multi-rotor drones is the control program, something Huang Xinhua certainly knows.

But you just said this was a toy made for children... When did children's toys start using combat equipment?

"It was a toy before... but now that the firmware is activated, it becomes a combat drone. This can be considered a live-fire test of the equipment."

Xu Ziming took out the equipment test sheet he had prepared beforehand: "As for how the switching is implemented and what the specific technical details are, I didn't dare to ask due to the confidentiality policy..."

"..."

Huang Xinhua's lips twitched, and he glanced at Zhang Xuebin, who was still in the car.

Taking the kids out for a picnic and then conducting a live-fire test of the equipment—aren't you afraid the compliance department will cause trouble?

Lin Dong ignored the conversation between the two adults.

He glanced at the data on the swarm attack mode, confirmed there were no problems, plugged an external satellite dish into his laptop, entered a remote control address and password, and connected to Experiment 78...

Xu Ziming's rolling stone tactic was too drastic. The enemy wasn't stupid, and it was highly unlikely that it would work to get the opponent off the train.

Faced with four SUVs made of steel and glass, the multi-rotor drone might not be able to complete the encirclement and suppression; he had to consider the worst-case scenario in advance.

After all, compared to the Hot 2 unmanned combat aircraft, which is equipped with high-power laser weapons and can effectively damage fighter jets within a 3-kilometer range, it is much more powerful.

Multi-rotor drones only have 85W lasers, making them more suitable for dealing with unprotected infantry; their attack power is simply too low.

"Engineer Wang, I didn't expect that after so many years of studying aircraft and fighter jet design, you would have such a deep understanding of aircraft engines."

"The difficulties we encountered on the Emei project were largely thanks to your guidance; otherwise, we don't know how long we would have been troubled."

Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group (CAC) base.

Wang Xingguo, whose hair has thinned noticeably in just a few days, is taking a walk and getting some fresh air at the base with Jiao You from Institute 624 after solving a problem on a project today.

"You're too kind, Mr. Jiao. You're the ones who weave the nets, I'm just the one who mends them. I helped patch up a small hole."

Listening to Jiao You's words, Wang Xingguo shook his head and said, "If the most critical material problem can't be solved, the Emei project will face numerous difficulties. We've only overcome the first of the eighty-one tribulations."

"Materials are indeed the core issue; they are the foundation of science and industry."

Jiao You sighed, then asked with some anticipation, "Engineer Wang, I heard you applied for information on third-generation single-crystal nickel-based high-temperature alloys a few days ago. Does Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group have talent in materials science?"

"Several core employees in our R&D department hold doctorates in materials science and have experience in developing new materials. I'd like to ask if they have any ideas..."

Wang Xingguo answered with a smile.

But before he could finish speaking, a series of clicking sounds came from the left front.

That's...Laboratory 78?

Wang Xingguo stopped speaking and suddenly turned his head to look at the laboratory on his left.

Suddenly, the laboratory door opened automatically. Once it reached a certain height, a series of booming sounds began to emanate from inside, as if some giant beast was awakening.

"Engineer Wang..."

Upon hearing the sound, Jiao You's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but ask, "What kind of aircraft engine is this? It looks like a small ducted turbofan, but it's not quite the same."

As an expert who could do calculus at the age of eleven and a half and had studied aero engines for decades, he could distinguish most types of aero engines in the world by sound, and even directly discern their approximate performance from the sound.

But this engine sound was something he had never heard before.

Rumbling--

Before Jiao You could finish speaking and before Wang Xingguo could reply, two unmanned combat aircraft rushed out of the laboratory one after the other and into the large test field next to it.

The two fighter jets had only taxied for less than sixty meters at the test site when they pitched up and shot into the sky, followed by a violent, steep climb that sent them soaring into the heavens.

At an altitude of over 300 meters, the two fighter jets resembled a pair of swallows in flight, their fuselages tilting in sync, followed by a burst of intense flames from their engines.

boom!!!

boom!!!

A fierce wind swept across the sky, as if fireworks were exploding.

Under the sunlight, the shapes of the two unmanned combat aircraft began to blur, and white mist swirled around their fuselages.

The next instant, the fighter jets pierced through the fog of the sound barrier cloud, roaring eastward across the sky, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into two black dots and disappeared on the horizon.
