Siheyuan (courtyard house): My name is Shazhu!

"Daddy, I understand how drones are used in combat, but I still have a few questions."

"you say."

"Our drone command center issues all attack orders from the main unit, which then distributes them to the sub-main units, which in turn relay them to the sub-units executing the same orders."

It seems to be similar to the relationship between regiments, battalions, and companies in an army. In case of emergencies, the human commander needs to issue new orders, otherwise the original plan will be executed.

Does this mean they lack initiative and are merely executing orders, and that the person in charge cannot manage too many drones?

Managing too many drones requires a large workforce, transforming a regiment into a division, which raises another issue: coordination between departments.

"Son, you've served in the military for ten years since you started at military academy. In just over a day, you've already found out that there's a problem with our command of drone combat. We don't need to change our attack plan when fighting the black guys."

Fighting a militarily strong country would require a large-scale drone swarm, which would cause problems with command capabilities and air coordination.

The root cause is that it is just a small drone command center, which can command at most a thousand drones.

In Malaysia, there are large-scale national command centers and medium-sized command centers on ships. This problem is not a matter of computers plus human intervention, but rather a complete computerization process.

Only when computers are completely unable to control humans will human command be required; at that point, it will essentially be a lose-lose situation.

99% of the drones will be suicide drones. The enemy's martial prowess is far superior to ours, and all we can do is try to eliminate them—may our ancestors protect us, and let fate decide our fate!

What method can be used to solve this?

"I can't tell you now, and I won't tell you later. It's top secret in Malaysia. I know it, but I can't say. You're not high enough, and your older brother won't tell you either."

"That's right, Daddy, don't worry, I won't ask my older brother anymore. I understand the rules of confidentiality."

"There are 800 drones of various types available here, including 790 fighter jets and 10 early warning aircraft. They are not suicide drones, but reconnaissance and strike drones."

We want to know more about intelligence from a greater distance and the realities of the battlefield, whether early warning aircraft are needed for small-scale battles—they're just in case.

"Domestic drones are also available domestically. Is Malaysia's chip technology so advanced that it can fully utilize drones in actual combat?"

"It could have been done ten years ago, but we didn't deploy drones in actual combat because they could be used in real battles."

The silly son isn't ten years ahead of them; rather, we have technology that will last until 2050, and they'll be catching up all the time.

Our own scientists are laying a solid foundation. By 2040, we will develop drone technology for the 2060s and beyond. Everything we do is to achieve technological leadership.

Drones require big data management, all-weather monitoring and satellite management, as well as many technologies such as high resistance to electromagnetic and electronic interference. Without a system, I don't understand how to do it.

No normal large company has the same level of martial virtue as Dongda Group, nor does it have as many scientific researchers as a major country!

"Daddy, when are we going to start a war?"

"Research has shown that if you're using drones in a ground-based warfare scenario, you can only command three drones if you want to experience the thrill of manual command."

"Daddy, no need. Let the computer control it. I want to check out the drone's combat methods."

"The battle will begin at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."

The next morning at eight o'clock, after having breakfast, the drone team set off according to command orders.

There were no large drones or completely suicidal drones inside. They carried two small 100-kilogram aerial bombs and used air-to-air firecrackers for air combat.

A drone with a laser cannon mounted on its belly would be the true main combat weapon, without requiring the drone to bear excessive weight.

When the battle began, the early warning aircraft had a larger and clearer reconnaissance area. Even with camouflage, it was still possible to find ambushes with careful observation. The resolution of the reconnaissance and strike aircraft was not high enough.

The missile dives and drops bombs, climbing to an altitude of 800 meters. Upon detecting a living target, the laser cannon begins its roll call.

An ordinary trench only 80 or 90 centimeters deep could not withstand repeated attacks from drones; it was like an adult hitting a baby.

The two black guys on the flanks were dealt with within fifteen minutes, and the drone turned into the mountains to attack the target there.

Of the ten early warning aircraft, four flew out in four directions to be on guard, while the other six reconnoitered the targets in the mountains, cleared the area five times, and returned after confirming that there were no survivors.

Of the 800 drones deployed, 978 returned unscathed. Two drones crashed, one was shot down, and the other crashed into a tree in the mountains.

Being hit by those black guys at 800 meters altitude is like winning the lottery; they probably aimed at point A but hit point B. Either way, it's still a battle loss.

If there are mechanical animal legion soldiers fighting together on the ground, that's another strategy. Let's try that next time!

He Yuzhu glanced around the mountains and saw that there were still several hundred people barely surviving in two natural caves. He then sent them away.

Send people to retrieve the drone wreckage.

It seems we should increase the ground reconnaissance capabilities of early warning aircraft, while we have all-weather monitoring satellites for aerial reconnaissance, so we don't need to pay too much attention to the sky.

We should test out several new weapons; only in actual combat can we discover the real problems. Go back and tell Song Lian.

Defeat and eliminate the chieftains here, and wait for the next batch of chieftains to arrive. This is the new weapon proving ground.

After returning, we should also send the 18,000-ton Type 094 destroyer on a free navigation tour of the Little Eagle Sea area.

It sounds really cool, I'll send two ships back!

Instead of returning directly to the port city, He Yuzhu led them to all the mining areas in this region to inspect the work and reclaim all the mineral resources.

After being away from home for sixteen days, he returned to the port city by private jet.

"Daddy, this plane your company manufactures in Malaysia is very comfortable to sit in. Where is the last one?"

You own nearly two hundred mining companies in this vast mining area. Are you going to sell all these mineral resources?

"Comfort is very important for civilian aircraft. If you want one, you can order one. The one in front is in my hometown, Zhou Zeyong. It's a big place, and it's inconvenient to take a commercial flight for business."

Mineral resources can be sold if the price is right, but most are still stockpiled; this is a nation's foundation.

"I don't need a private jet, and I don't understand mineral resources. I'll go back and resign. Finally, I've fulfilled my mother's wish."

"Silly son, a mother worries when her son travels a thousand miles; this may apply to your mother, it's a kind of maternal love."

"I know she cares about me, but I feel like I'm too old for that."

"Even if you're ninety, you'll always be twenty-five years younger than your mother. Don't believe me? Look at your ID card."

"Hahaha, Mr. He is right, Fourth Young Master, you should accept your fate!"

"You can't deny it!"

When Zhou Songyu saw the father and son return alive and well, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that something might have happened to them, but it was good that they had all returned unharmed.

"You're back. Fourth Brother has participated in real war."

"We just got back and they're already asking me, 'I fought two battles, but in different ways. That's interesting.'"

Don't worry, I'll go back to my hometown in a few days. It won't be alright after I'm discharged from the army.

"That's for the best. Your safety is more important to your mother than anything else. We'll go back if there's a major war. It's not that we don't want you to join the army, it's just that the timing isn't right."

"Thank you, Mom. Are Ruonan and the two children behaving well?"

"Twins are harder to raise than single children. They seem to have a telepathic connection; they get hungry, wet, and cry almost simultaneously, and you can't separate them."

Are twins really that hard to raise?

"Don't listen to your mother's exaggeration. With so many nannies at home, it's impossible for them to be difficult to manage."

"It seems you've done this before."

"I've eaten pork and seen pigs run."
