Chapter 128 Drone Prodigy

A base was destroyed with zero casualties?

Lin Dong's expression lit up, then he seemed to realize something and asked in a low voice, "The Americans didn't react much?"

Based on his understanding of Americans.

Let alone destroying a base, even losing a single person will prompt them to find ways to cause trouble for others or add some special contingency plans.

"It is said that there was an outbound mission, and there were not many people at the base, but a protest still broke out inside."

Unable to withstand the pressure, they implemented an emergency plan the following day, proposing to add cable nets, microwave jamming devices, and close-in weapon systems to each base, as well as shotguns and individual communication suppression devices to each soldier.

Finally, at the foreign affairs press conference the day before yesterday, their reporters confronted us, questioning our sale of military supplies.

However, when we produced Xingdong Company's real-name registration manual, it clearly stated that each person could only purchase three units.

There's also a warning that nothing else can be attached besides an external camera, and it cannot be used for military modifications.

The reporters were speechless.

There's still some public opinion surrounding it, but the impact is minimal.

As a mid-level commander, Qi Jingchuan was aware of these matters, and since they didn't involve any secrets, he simply recounted them.

"Protests, and the contingency plan is approved the very next day? Hmm—that feels familiar."

Lin Dong's expression turned somewhat strange. Then, without disturbing Qi Jingchuan, he waved and said, "Goodbye, Uncle Qi, we're going to play."

"be safe."

Qi Jingchuan nodded, glanced around the crowd, and continued patrolling towards the area with more foreign affairs personnel.

"Lin Dong".

Watching Qi Jingchuan leave, Xu Qingling had a vague feeling that something was off. She leaned closer and whispered, "Are the Americans really that efficient? They could approve the plan the very next day?"

"It was something they wanted to do anyway, so it'll happen quickly."

Lin Dong said with certainty, "As for that base, it was just a preliminary step in the plan."

"A planned first move —"

Xu Qingling paused, then widened her eyes as if she had just realized something: "You mean, they did it on purpose?"

"It's almost certain, otherwise how could this proposed increase in costs have been approved?"

Lin Dong nodded.

As for the reason for the protest pressure.

Yes, protesting is the most common thing Americans do, and it's also the most useless thing they do.

Let alone such a small protest, even if there are millions of people protesting outside, inside they will continue dancing and playing music, doing whatever they want.

At most, these protests will receive slightly more attention during general elections.

But it's only a little, not much.

Eight or nine out of ten of the contingency plans that were passed because of protests were actually plans that were originally intended to be passed.

Protests, like everything else, are just a convenient excuse for them.

"That real-name registration system, where each person can only buy three—did Uncle really do that?" Xu Qingling asked, somewhat incredulous.

Although she didn't know how many drones she had sold, she was sure it was a considerable amount.

Because Xingdong Company made its way into the news openly and aboveboard, with headlines proclaiming that high technology drives productivity and that its revenue exceeded 10 billion yuan in just half a month.

In addition, Wang Xingguo's confident and ostentatious demeanor a while ago made it clear that sales were booming.

"It's definitely true."

Lin Dong said with a righteous air, "How can such a righteous person as my uncle allow these drones to proliferate everywhere?"

The problem is that foreign citizens' identity information is not integrated with ours, so we cannot currently verify whether the real names they provide are truly real.

But one thing is certain: they all registered using their official identification documents.

Ok.

These are all official identification documents.

Some of these are purchased from the official sources, so they can provide as many identity documents as they need.

Some areas are very poor and lack electronic information technology, so official identification documents are handwritten—but you can't deny someone's dream of aerial photography just because they are poor.

As a private enterprise, Xingdong Company has fulfilled its responsibilities and obligations by implementing the real-name registration system for drone purchases. If someone is truly deceived, it can only mean that the buyer is extremely malicious.

""

Xu Qingling understood what Lin Dong meant and almost couldn't help but laugh, but asked in a low voice, "Uncle, can you keep selling these drones like this?"

"It's possible in the short term. Right now, the rampant export of drones is satisfying the interests of some entities on the other side, and they won't interfere. But it might be different in a few years."

We might need to add a geolocation system then, because in some areas the system might not be able to activate or run. We'll deal with that as it comes.

But right now, this main group of people is doing a great job and doesn't need to do these things.

Lin Dong thought of Commissioner Smith across the street and the working style of the military-industrial complex, and couldn't help but sigh.

With this kind of way of doing things, it's no wonder that some people online have been suspecting that the US was secretly pushing things together, or even orchestrating it themselves.

The two didn't talk about this for long, and changed the subject as they walked forward, visiting the game information areas on both sides.

soon.

The two arrived at a crowded area behind the park.

Behind the crowd, the buzzing of a real drone could be heard in the air, and cheers of excitement or regret continued to rise from the crowd.

"Look! Those three drones are about to rush over—oh no, they've been shot down!"

"That girl is amazing—so that's how dozens or even hundreds of drones are flown together. Why is it that when my son plays a game, only one drone is flying?"

"We won again!"

"Our province ranks 528th and can only operate three FPV drones. How do they operate this swarm?"

"Dude, you can operate three FPV drones without crashing, that's superhuman!"

"This thing would be incredible if it had a bomb attached to it; no wonder they say if you play it well, you could get special admission—"

'

'

Lin Dong and Xu Qingling looked at the wall of people surrounding them, including some who were clearly foreigners. They exchanged a glance, looked around, and then Lin Dong pointed to a sign on the right that read "Competition Passage".

"We'll go in from there."

"You need to produce your ID."

Xu Qingling took out her phone, opened the game's mobile assistant, and the two walked over, showed their game IDs to verify their rankings, and got in in less than a minute.

"Holy crap—Lin Dong! Xu Qingling!"

As soon as they entered, Zhang Yihao came out and exclaimed in surprise, "We've encountered a master! Li Tao, Su Yue, Jiang Caiping, and I were all instantly killed, and Huang Qingyao is almost done for!"

"You were all instantly killed?"

Xu Qingling exclaimed in surprise, "Didn't this game just have a public beta test less than ten days ago? We've been training for over a month—could it be someone from the previous red team?"

"No, I've never seen one before. Maybe I've encountered a genius."

Zhang Yihao shook his head, beckoned Lin Dong and the other to walk to the side, and pointed to a girl sitting in front of a computer not far away. She had her hair tied in a ponytail, was wearing a short-sleeved sportswear top, and had a fair and delicate face. She looked to be the same age as him.

"It's her! We can't keep up at all!"

Lin Dong glanced at it but ignored it, his gaze fixed on the competition field dozens of meters away.

This is a newly leveled land area, which is about 200 meters long and 80 meters wide. It looks like it's going to be used as a factory.

At this point, the entire area was divided into two camps: the red team and the blue team.

Ten white circles were drawn at intervals in each camp, and some sensors were placed on them.

In the sky, more than a hundred drones equipped with photoelectric sensors and microlasers were clashing and fighting each other. Every now and then, a drone was identified as destroyed and fell to the ground after losing control.

It was clearly visible to the naked eye that the drones on the right side reacted much faster, and their various flights and attacks were significantly stronger than those on the left.

"The blue team is on the right, that's the expert; the red team is on the left, Huang Qingyao is the one controlling the game—"

Zhang Yihao pointed to the arena where the battle was taking place and explained to Lin Dong and the other man: "The rules of the competition are that each side has 80 swarm drones."

Of these, 60 are laser drones with an effective range of 40 meters, and 20 are self-destructing drones. The speed of all drones is limited to 120 kilometers per hour.

If you don't know how to use swarm control, you can switch to FPV control mode. The winner is determined by whose white circle area is destroyed first.

The conditions for destroying the white circle are either a self-destructing drone rushing into the circle or being continuously irradiated by a laser for 10 seconds.

The light will turn on if it is destroyed.

As for drones, if they are exposed to laser light for more than 1.5 seconds, they will be considered shot down.

"The rules and scene setup are almost identical to a real drill."

After listening, Lin Dong looked at the group of conspicuous foreign affairs personnel in the spectator area and said, "No wonder so many foreign affairs personnel have come—"

The white circles on both sides can be seen as their respective positions, and the swarm drones are their weapons.

The only difference is that this is an open, flat area with no cover, so it's more of a competition of drone operation skills between the two sides.

"You know what—"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yihao said with a strange expression, "Just now, when Li Tao and I went out to buy something, a few foreigners stopped us and said they would introduce us to jobs abroad with a starting monthly salary of 200,000."

"So you're going to introduce you to the battlefield and let you play the real K/DA match, huh?"

Lin Dong couldn't help but laugh: "Don't believe these things. When we send you out, you're going to the battlefield. It's not like it's in China."

"Of course we don't believe it, how old are we?"

Zhang Yihao shook his head: "Moreover, now every time the game goes live, players are forced to read a warning announcement, which warns them not to trust any jobs abroad, as they may be forced to engage in extremely dangerous activities if they go abroad."

Although it wasn't explicitly stated, everyone knew it meant going to the battlefield.

"Lin Dong!"

At this moment, Xu Qingling, who had been watching the match, shouted, "Yaoyao is going to lose."

1

Lin Dong and Zhang Yihao turned to look and saw that Huang Qingyao's formation had been broken through.

The enemy's laser drones, providing cover for the suicide drones, rapidly flew a hundred meters and precisely landed within the white circle of Huang Qingyao's camp.

[——Red lost]

The announcement over the loudspeaker declared that the Red team had lost.

"Aaaaaah!"

Huang Qingyao ran over from one of the computers on the left, shouting, "This is insane! Is this the level she's reached after a week of training? She's already on a nine-game winning streak! It's unbelievable, I can't keep up with her at all!"

talking.

Huang Qingyao couldn't help but glare at Lin Dong, her eyes filled with malice towards the talent monster.

In her eyes, Lin Dong was also a prodigy.

The fact that he wiped out an 800-man camp in less than five minutes is something no one can do even now. His only flaw is that he's too lazy and doesn't like to study at all.

"You lasted ten seconds longer than me—I was gone in less than 50 seconds."

Su Yue and Li Tao, who had been watching the battle next to Huang Qingyao, came over. Su Yue looked particularly helpless, as if she were entrusting someone with a heavy responsibility.

"This guy is a monster—Qingling, you and Lin Dong go. The mission to save the Red Team's honor is entrusted to you."

"Are you confident?" Lin Dong asked Xu Qingling.

"She's pretty quick."

Xu Qingling thought for a moment and nodded: "There should be."

"Then go have some fun. It's okay if you lose," Lin Dong encouraged with a smile.

"Yes, yes, Red Team, march on!"

Xu Qingling handed her backpack to Lin Dong, then turned and went to the competition area. Huang Qingyao and Su Yue, along with a few other girls, followed her over.
