Armor-piercing bullets don't believe in carbon-based monsters

Chapter 112 Attack Drone!
Chen Jian made adequate preparations for the arrival of the delegation.

This preparation includes but is not limited to distributing bullets to combatants, building new bunkers, formulating combat plans, arranging light and dark sentry points, burying necessary traps and explosives, organizing targeted training, and so on.

But when the sun rose, Zhou Qin brought Li Xian to Huangshi City again.

Moreover, they brought a piece of news that left Chen Jian dumbfounded.

“The visit was cancelled.”

Zhou Qin said with a bitter look:
"The mission believes that this visit is unnecessary and they have already obtained all the information they wanted."

“So, they will return today.”

"All subsequent negotiation matters will be handled by Li Xian and I."

"You can communicate with me directly now."

Chen Jian looked at Zhou Qin with an incredulous look, and then asked:
“Are you sure you can take responsibility for what you said? Are you sure you have the authority to make the necessary decisions in subsequent negotiations?”

"To a considerable extent, I can."

Zhou Qin let out a long sigh, and then explained:
"If there is a request that goes beyond my authority, I will communicate with them directly via radio."

"The good news is, they brought us new radios."

"That's it? They're not going to interfere in things here anymore?"

Chen Jian could never have imagined that this "grand" visit would end in such a funny, even absurd way, but Zhou Qin had expected this and answered calmly:
"Yes, they are not going to interfere anymore."

"To be precise, they don't plan to intervene directly."

"In fact, I have already guessed this result. I guessed it since you killed the monster last night."

His tone was full of sadness, which even made Chen Jian feel a little pity for him.

Good man, he has become a discarded pawn.

So under what circumstances would a senior officer on the front lines become a discarded pawn?
Perhaps those who were in a higher position than him really thought that the situation was already quite dangerous, and even the meeting itself was already a "Hongmen Banquet".
Chen Jian had no way of guessing what those people were thinking. He just looked at Li Xian and continued to ask:
"What about you? Are you like him?"

Li Xian also nodded, and then replied:

"Yes, the Mechanicus made the same decision as him."

"This may be a wise decision. After all, the adults have never come into contact with you and don't know the specific situation."

"Some of them also think that you are the brutal and bloodthirsty Huaxia army, so it is understandable that they adopt a cautious strategy."

"clear."

Chen Jian could tell that, unlike Zhou Qin, Li Xian’s “belief” in the Mechanicus was more firm.

He is still trying to make amends for the Mechanicus.

Wow, why do people say that religion is so brainwashing?

Isn't this a living example?

Chen Jian had nothing to say about this, so he simply skipped this slightly awkward topic and asked directly:
"Can my three requests be met?"

"For now."

Zhou Qin immediately replied:
"But information about the Holy Blood Basilica and the Mechanicus will be delivered gradually."

"My Lord, I think you should understand what this means."

"I really did try my best and this is the best result I could achieve."

"Believe me, I just want to keep Hanshui City now."

"understand."

Chen Jian looked at Zhou Qin with pity, but he would not give in when it came to interests.

"So what about compensation?"

"You all know that this condition is impossible to be achieved 100%, so what about the compensation?"

“We brought it.”

Zhou Qin said with relief.

Before coming, he was really worried that Chen Jian would turn against him because this condition was not met. He even disobeyed the eunuch who came from the imperial capital, argued with the other party, and got compensation in advance.

But at that time, he was still not sure whether his negotiating partner would give him a way out.

After all, they really have reason to start the war again.

Fortunately, the other party doesn't seem to be as evil as some people think.

He could even understand his own situation.

Just this point alone, I am afraid that the guard will never be able to do it.
Thinking of this, Zhou Qin immediately called on his men following behind him to open the wooden boxes they brought, and Chen Jian's gaze also passed him and looked over.

There was no surprise in the first, smallest wooden box. It was just a box of gold that didn’t seem to be of very high purity.

But when Zhou Qin's men opened the second largest wooden box, Chen Jianren was stunned. It was almost a full box of Xiujian missiles.

Although there are probably not many that can be used, the number is really large.

It looks like there are almost a hundred rounds.

".Where did you get this?"

"Li Xian asked the surrounding towns to collect them."

Zhou Qin replied:
"No one will use these weapons, but according to the information Xu Lie gave me before, you will use them."

“So, I brought it here directly.”

"This didn't have much effect on the Mechanicus, so I didn't have to spend too much time talking about it."

". Very good, you are good at using land to serve Qin and adding fuel to the fire."

Chen Jian added fuel to the fire.

Zhou Qin didn't understand the allusion in his words, but combined with the sarcasm in his tone, he could roughly guess what it meant.

So he could only smile bitterly and replied:
"Anyway, even without these equipment, you can easily destroy the surrounding towns."

"At least now, we have a brief peace."

"Look at the last box."

“Perhaps this is what you are most interested in.”

"besides?"

Chen Jian looked at the last wooden box doubtfully, and when the people brought by Zhou Qin pried open the box, he was really dumbfounded.

Although the box had been torn into pieces, all of his team members were able to recognize the contents at the first opportunity.

That's an eight-rotor heavy attack drone!
".Where did it come from?"

Chen Jian asked.

"Nobody knows."

Li Xian shook his head and replied:
"This thing has been kept in Jiujiang City for many years. We have done a lot of research on it, but it is obvious that its machine soul has left."

"It is called the Iron Eagle. Perhaps it was originally meant to be a weapon, just like the two Iron Birds you are using."

“But now it’s just a wreck.”

"If you could restore it, it would be very useful."

"In short, this is the greatest sincerity that the Mechanicus can show at this stage."

"As for your request, the Great Cannon Cathedral will consider it carefully and give you a reply as soon as possible."

"understood."

A sneer appeared at the corner of Chen Jian's mouth.

It is obvious that the people of the Adeptus Mechanicus are very aware of the significance of this drone and the value it can bring once it is repaired.

However, they did not believe anyone could repair the drone.

After all, they have made so many attempts. It is even possible that they have been trying for the past hundreds of years without success.

They are just fooling themselves.

What they took out was a piece of equipment that "looks powerful but is useless"!

To be fair, the chances of repairing this drone are really low.

If the drone is not properly maintained, not to mention corrosion and damage, the simplest electron migration problem will cause the chip inside it to stop working.

Without flight control, it’s hard to even fly this thing, let alone control it.

But it just so happens that we do have the ability to repair drones.

Lei Jie's technology, plus the resources of the Ring Chamber of Commerce.

They can even take out missiles, so Chen Jian has reason to believe that they must have various types of chips that can still be used in their inventory.

As long as they can complete their mission, get enough equipment, and repair a drone, wouldn’t it be easy?

Thinking of this, Chen Jian said in a deep voice:

"We have accepted the things."

"But you'd better send me the cannon as soon as possible."

"Otherwise, don't blame us for treating the Holy Blood Temple and the Mechanicus differently."
