Chapter 645 WPG's Powerful Thor System: The Next Moment is President An's! A Thousand Pieces of Gold for a Horse's Bones: Sample!
Jonas, of course, did not refuse to answer An Wuyang's question.

“Project Thor is an anti-drone technology, and a very efficient one at that. The U.S. has been secretly researching it for many years and has now completed the development of the corresponding technology, and even passed the verification test,” Jonas explained.

An Wuyang was surprised. The Bald Eagle had actually secretly developed this technology?
In today's era, with the development of technology, drone technology poses an increasing threat to security issues, so various countries are developing counter-drone technologies.

In particular, the five major charitable organizations on Earth have invested enormous sums of money in the development of anti-drone technology.

Because they are very aware of the damage drones can cause!
"The core principle of Project Raytheon is HPM/High Power Microwave, which means that it works by directionally emitting high-power microwaves to destroy the electronic circuits of drones, thus achieving 'non-contact' destruction," Jonas explained the technical principles and working method of Project Raytheon.

"Currently, the Bald Eagle's Raytheon project has been miniaturized and applied, enabling faster and more flexible deployment on the battlefield through containerized deployment," Jonas added, explaining the deployment method.

Containerized deployment is indeed very simple, and can be deployed quickly whether by helicopter airdrop or by truck transport.

An Wuyang asked the crucial question, "What is the defensive range of Project Thor?"

After the Taibai Mountains in Korea were attacked by drones spraying mercury, An Wuyang has paid great attention to the issue of drone defense.

Both the Songguo Forest Farm and the Tianjingyan Medicinal Herb Planting Base have deployed anti-drone guns and have also contacted manufacturers of anti-drone guns to customize more powerful land-based equipment in order to deal with drones from a greater distance.

However, even the more powerful land-based drone countermeasures only have a maximum range of three kilometers.

At the same time, its processing speed is not very fast when facing swarms of drones.

Because its drone countermeasures involve signal suppression and intrusion, which guides the drone to land rather than destroying it.

This will require some processing time!

However, Project Raytheon is different. Project Raytheon uses high-power microwaves to directly damage the electronic circuits of drones. This means that the high-power microwaves will burn out the corresponding circuits the moment they come into contact with the drone's electronic circuits.

This way it will be faster to process!

In response to An Wuyang's question, Jonas replied, "If the environment supports it, its defense range can even reach twenty kilometers."

“Back in 2019, the Bald Eagles were secretly testing the attack range of the Raytheon system, but due to operator error, the high-power microwaves emitted in a directed manner accidentally swept over a civilian radar station ten kilometers away, thus interfering with the radar station and severely burning out some of its electronic circuits,” Jonas cited as an example.

"In light of this incident, the Raytheon system is now fully automated and primarily targets flying objects," Jonas added.

A radar station ten kilometers away can be affected?
An Wuyang secretly raised an eyebrow!
Even if Jonas's claim of 20 kilometers is an exaggeration, there are actual accident cases that prove that the Thor system can indeed cause effective damage at a distance of 10 kilometers.

More importantly, accident case studies are far more convincing than test case studies!
Test cases can be manipulated with data, but accident cases involve real accidents that actually occurred, making them almost like real-world results.

“There is another very representative test case, earlier this year.” Jonas suddenly paused.

“It should be last year,” Jonas corrected.

It's only the beginning of 2022, and Jonas blurted out something he didn't mean.

“In October 2021, DARPA, the US military, conducted a secret test at the White Sands Missile Range, which included 500 shuttles traveling at 360 kilometers per hour and two air-to-ground missiles,” Jonas explained, referring to another test case.

"The two air-to-ground missiles are the E-model laser-guided version of the AGM-65 Maverick, with a subsonic speed of Mach 0.94, which is approximately 1150 kilometers per hour, and a cost of one hundred thousand US dollars," Jonas explained the specific information.

"The second missile is also an E-type GPS-guided AGM-88HARM, which flies at supersonic speeds, reaching Mach 2.9, which translates to over 3200 kilometers per hour," Jonas added, providing further data.

"This round of testing involved two Raytheon II production drones, with the drones deployed at a distance of three kilometers and the two air-to-ground missiles deployed at a distance of five kilometers," Jonas added to the test information.

Based on the data provided by Jonas, An Wuyang was calculating the corresponding information on the tablet.

Assuming that 500 shuttles take approximately 30 seconds to fly at high speed from the launch site to the location of the two Raytheon II devices, this is because acceleration takes time, so the flight time is not a strictly mathematical calculation.

As for the two missiles
The AGM-65 Maverick has a flight time of a little over 15 seconds, but the supersonic AGM-88 HARM only needs 5.5 seconds to reach its destination.

This means that the two Thor IIs only have 5.5 seconds to defend!
In just 5.5 seconds, they not only need to identify the target, but also track the supersonic target, adjust the launch direction of the equipment, and then use high-power microwaves to destroy the missile's electronic circuitry.

This is a very difficult thing!

"How were the test results?" An Wuyang asked.

"Aside from the AGM-88 HARM missile, which was not successfully intercepted, the AGM-65 Maverick missile and all 500 shuttles were intercepted," Jonas explained.

"The reason the AGM-88 HARM missile wasn't intercepted is that it was updated in early 2021 with the addition of pre-programmed and real-time update technology. This allows it to attack targets even if some electronic equipment is destroyed," Jonas added.

"The Thor II's attack method is just high-power microwaves, and the attack means is just to burn out the electronic circuits. There are almost no substantial means of interception. So even if the electronic circuits of the AGM-88 HARM missile are burned out, there is still no way to defend against its inertial flight attack scheme," Jonas explained the reason for the attack failure.

"However, the subsonic laser-guided AGM-65E Maverick missile had its laser-guided electronic circuitry easily destroyed, rendering the missile blind and ultimately unable to effectively attack its target," Jonas added.

"As for the 500 shuttles, they are practically useless bees in front of Thor II; they were easily destroyed," Jonas concluded.

An Wuyang asked the crucial question, "Can two Thor II devices really destroy 500 shuttles in 30 seconds?"

This means that each Thor II device needs to handle 250 drones, which also means that it needs to handle 8 drones per second. Is that impressive?

“The supervisor must have misunderstood how the Thor II works. Perhaps you imagine that the Thor II fires directional high-power microwaves in a line, and that it can only attack one target or a target in the same line at a time, right?” Jonas asked.

An Wuyang really thinks that way!

“Isn’t that right?” An Wuyang retorted.

Jonas replied in the negative, "No."

“You can think of the Raytheon II’s directed high-power microwaves as a flashlight in the dark, but with an adjustable focus,” Jonas explained. “When it encounters a supersonic missile, the Raytheon II focuses its energy, allowing the high-power microwaves to be emitted over a narrower area, so that it can strike and destroy the target’s electronic circuits more quickly.” Jonas explained in detail.

"But when encountering electronic devices like shuttles or drones that have almost no microwave protection, the high-power microwaves emitted by the Thor II will radiate over a larger area, like a flashlight in the night, forming a columnar area," Jonas explained.

"At the same time, its effective time is on the order of tens of milliseconds. It only takes one hundred milliseconds to destroy an unprotected shuttle, which is equivalent to destroying ten shuttles in one second," Jonas explained with data.

An Wuyang was surprised. Was this Thor II really that powerful?
However, the more powerful Thor II is, the better!
Because Thor II was originally owned by the Bald Eagle, but it can be his in the future!
As for An Wuyang not being able to manufacture it?

Did you underestimate An Wuyang?
Wugengtian is indeed a pharmaceutical company, and it certainly can't produce something like Thor II, but Anwuyang has already cultivated a vast network of interpersonal relationships, and there's always a solution within that network.

"Manager, are you satisfied with this technical document?" Jonas asked.

How could I not be satisfied if everyone is safe and sound?

Project Thor is a classified project of the Bald Eagles and has not been publicly revealed yet. Given its strength and performance, what could An Wuyang possibly be dissatisfied with?
The only thing I'm not satisfied with.
Why doesn't the Happy Life System include production lines and production personnel?

Fortunately, An Wuyang did not ask Tongzi Ge, otherwise Tongzi Ge would definitely have pretended to be dead again.

After all, An Wuyang's request was too outrageous; he wished that Brother Tong would just give him the bald eagle!
Just as the Native Americans gave the bald eagle to the Onsak people, why can't Brother Tong give the bald eagle to them?
“I am very satisfied!” An Wuyang answered affirmatively, not caring at all that such satisfaction would increase the difficulty of the negotiations.

Because this is the reward given by the Happy Life System, he didn't think Jonas would ask for an exorbitant amount.

"Can the manager arrange a new legal identity for me in Xia Country, and a million dollars?" Jonas asked again.

“Okay!” An Wuyang agreed.

"Where in Xia Kingdom would you like to live?" An Wuyang asked for more details.

Jonas responded, "If I could, I would prefer to be in Chengdu; I love the slow pace of life there."

An Wuyang raised an eyebrow. This guy really knows about the Xia Kingdom?
“No problem!” An Wuyang replied, “I will process a brand new identity for you in Tianfu and arrange a five-star ID card for you from Xia Kingdom, which is equivalent to you obtaining permanent residency.”

“In addition, I will give you 1200 million Xia Guoyuan. I will transfer this money into Xia Guo through overseas channels and also through the US stock market to ensure the legality of the funds,” An Wuyang added.

“If you agree, we will start preparing these things for you. Once all these things are completed, you will obtain the Xia Guo five-star card ID, and the funds will be deposited into your account, then you will hand over the relevant technical information to us,” An Wuyang explained the transaction method.

This is equivalent to them paying the fee first, and then Jonas providing the corresponding technical information.

Jonas secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "No problem!"

“Thank you, supervisor!” Jonas added.

Because An Wuyang's offer of 1200 million Xia Guoyuan exceeded 100 million US dollars, it was equivalent to him proactively raising the price.

Jonas couldn't help but ask, "I have another question. Why are you giving me more money?"

“Because you are our sample,” An Wuyang replied.

“If a similar situation arises in the future, you will be the sample we are showcasing.” An Wuyang added, worried that the other party might not understand.

Jonas didn't care about being a sample at all, because he knew a Xia proverb, "Understood, I'm willing to cooperate with your publicity if you have the need."

“Okay!” An Wuyang agreed.

“Next, our people will arrange for you to enter Xia Country. You just need to cooperate with them. As for the relevant technical data, as long as your hiding place is safe enough, you don’t need to retrieve it. Our people will retrieve it after everything is arranged,” An Wuyang added.

"Rest assured, the place where I store the data is 100% safe!" Jonas assured him.

"That's good!" An Wuyang easily believed the other party.
Or, to put it another way, Anwuyang is a trust-based system for a happy life.

Without the guarantee of a happy life system, how could An Wuyang easily believe the other party's promise?
"Goodbye, Mr. Langwen. I wish you a pleasant stay in Xia Country. Please hand your phone to my subordinates now, and I will instruct them to handle your affairs," An Wuyang said with his blessing.

Jonas responded politely, "Goodbye, Mr. Manager."

Jonas handed the phone back to Sugeri, saying, "The supervisor wants you to answer the phone."

Sugel took the phone.

An Wuyang quickly explained his agreement with Jonas, then instructed, "Is there a problem with you ensuring his safe arrival in Xia Kingdom?"

“No problem, we have a safe passage into Xia Kingdom,” Sugelli replied.

Crossing borders illegally is extremely difficult for ordinary people.

But for some people, isn't that an easy thing?

Look at some people along the coast, haven't they demonstrated this?

The reason why ordinary people find it difficult is because they lack the necessary channels.

"You should communicate with HQ in advance and have them arrange for personnel within Xia Kingdom to hand over the target to them for escort," An Wuyang instructed.

"Understood!" Sugel readily agreed.
