Chapter 45 Drone Defense
Chapter 45 Drone Defense
"Using drones to establish air superiority?" Commander Tian thought for a moment, then looked at Wu Ou and asked, "Will this work? I mean, do we have sufficient control technology here?"
The use of drones as battlefield weapons has been proven long before disaster strikes.
In fact, China has used drone swarms as a performance item in countless grand shows.
Such small-area cluster air defense is something that even well-known drone manufacturers could accomplish before a disaster strikes, let alone in China.
However, putting aside whether so many drones can be produced in time, the biggest obstacle right now is the issue of control.
The global internet system has long been paralyzed, let alone computers.
Furthermore, the core programming system cannot be ignored if these drones are to be used flexibly for defense rather than becoming targets.
These all require professionals to complete!
"Commander Tian, this leader Yan Chi has actually completed the design of the corresponding drone, while Bai Zhou has completed the design of the control system."
That's why he needs to stay here.
The wireless network cannot be restored yet; we can only use a wired network with a short-range signal.
Therefore, these drones cannot actually stray too far from Baizhou's operating computer.
However, according to him, a program can be set up to automatically activate the drone when certain conditions are met, allowing it to conduct reconnaissance or attack missions.
This reduces direct computer control and alleviates the pressure on the computer.
"So that's how it is!" Commander Tian looked at the two of them with even more fervor after hearing Wu Ou's explanation.
He understands the role of electronic information technology; even a local area network would make managing certain issues much easier for the northern base.
He made up his mind that if they encountered any danger, he would do everything he could to get them away first!
He now understands that the number of evolved beings will continue to increase.
However, most people do not have special abilities; they are simply super soldiers with all-around enhanced physical qualities.
Only these special evolvers who can shape objects are the talents who can help the Dragon Kingdom's technological level recover quickly, and they are worth protecting and cherishing!
Of course, there are other talented individuals whose abilities can be applied to different fields and have a significant impact, helping the Dragon Kingdom restore its production and living standards.
He had a premonition that if the number of these people with special abilities increased, then the recovery speed of China's production, life, and technological level would also increase!
Looking at Commander Tian's expression, Xie Rui felt a mix of excitement and bitterness.
The excitement stemmed from the fact that the northern base was willing to accept many of their "refugees."
Although they maintain such a large community, they are unable to perfectly reconcile their internal conflicts.
There are many people, including the elderly, children, and the injured, who lack the ability to hunt for themselves.
Responding to these people's dietary requirements every day is a very troublesome problem for them.
If their needs cannot be met, then their positions as the five of them will be insecure.
Once their needs are met, most of the day will be spent dealing with these issues and related problems.
Furthermore, as the largest gathering place in the vicinity besides the Northern Base, their location is also attracting scattered survivors.
In fact, they had already noticed the 'ambitious' individuals hidden among these outsiders.
Now that the Northern Base has intervened forcefully, those people probably won't have the chance to cause trouble anymore, and their positions will be secure.
As for joining the Northern Base?
They didn't give it much thought before the beast tide breached the place.
This place is, after all, a gathering place, and judging from Commander Tian's intentions, he doesn't mind that it maintains a certain degree of independence.
Better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix; having tasted the power, it's not so easy to let go.
As for the bitterness, it was naturally noticed. In Commander Tian's mind, Yan Chi and Bai Zhou, who he considered to have little strength or influence, were actually valued more.
"Commander Tian, I wonder what kind of plan the Northern Base can come up with? I mean, so we can be prepared and fully cooperate."
"After all, there will be quite a few people to be relocated!" Xu Rui quickly said.
"Chief Xu, although I cannot give you a definite answer to this question at the moment, I can tell you something."
That means we will do everything in our power!
Commander Tian looked solemn, his right fist clenched tightly.
Xu Rui quickly replied, "Of course, we will do our best!"
After a night's rest, Commander Tian led his men on their way back to the northern base, bringing back both the problems they had encountered and the good news.
Before leaving, he looked at Wu Ou and asked, "Dr. Wu, are you really going to stay here?"
Although Wu Ou has proven his ability to protect himself when facing danger.
However, in his opinion, it would be best to send such valuable talents back to the northern base first, and then send them over with protection if needed.
"Commander Tian, I can guarantee my own safety. Besides, I also need to be here with Yan Chi and Bai Zhou to do some preparatory work." Wu Ou nodded, expressing his attitude.
After all, the other energy scientist here, Zhu Linlin, doesn't have much technical expertise and her ability to utilize her skills is more rudimentary.
She had previously used her skills to repair deformed metal or other materials.
The main focus was on clothing repair, which alleviated the problem of insufficient clothing for many people.
If Commander Tian hadn't pointed it out, she would probably never have known that her abilities could have such a powerful effect, as she was actually a special type of evolved being like Yan Chi.
Unfortunately, this method of application, which requires knowledge accumulation, is not suitable for her current situation.
"Alright then! Be careful." Seeing this, Commander Tian stopped trying to dissuade him.
After watching Commander Tian and the others leave, Wu Ou, along with Hu Meng and Su Xue who had been left by his side, went to Yan Chi's room.
"I apologize for bothering you during this time."
"It's no bother at all. I was worried you'd find my place unsatisfactory!" Yan Chi smiled.
"This is a basic configuration diagram I designed. Do you think there are any areas that need improvement?" At this moment, Bai Zhou walked over with a tablet computer and showed the two a structural simulation diagram of a drone.
"The basic ability to resist wind and cold can be compensated for by materials."
"But regarding firepower..." Yan Chi shook his head. "Even if we can give it enough load capacity, I'm afraid we still won't be able to achieve very good results."
After all, ordinary-level firearms are generally ineffective against the defenses of source energy beasts, let alone that beast king.
It's not that they can't produce powerful firearms, it's just that the cost is too high.
"But wouldn't it be a waste if it were just used as a bomb-type drone?" Wu Ou frowned.
They have limited resources and time, and they are making these drones to make up for the lack of manpower.
"I think we should abandon the powerful target and position it as supplementary firepower, which can be used for grenade throwing and crossbow firing!"
