Chapter 103: Hummingbird
The chief raised his hand without hesitation and said, "I have no problem!" ”
"I don't have a problem either!"
"And me!"
……
Not surprisingly, most of the people who raised their hands were members of the Somali tribe.
Ben and the others were hesitating.
"Head!" Ben said, "Can I ask some questions?" ”
"Of course!" Qin Tian nodded.
"You're saying we can't leave the army for the rest of our lives?"
"Sort of!" Qin Tian replied: "Or ten or twenty years, I'm not sure, because you know." One day, when the equipment you use becomes known to the enemy, that is, when it is no longer a secret, there is no need to restrict you in principle! ”
"So have we had an increase in salaries?" Ben asked again.
"No!" Qin Tian replied without thinking about it: "It's still the same!" ”
There is no doubt about this, the reason is that, as mentioned before, Qin Tian is no longer interested in soldiers who can be hired with money.
"So what good will we have?" A mercenary asked.
"Nothing good!" Qin Tian replied, "If anything...... You are like a soldier, you will be respected for your bravery, don't worry if you are injured, we will arrange for someone to take care of you for the rest of your days, as well as your family! ”
Seeing that the mercenaries didn't speak, Qin Tian added: "Like I said, it's time for you to choose!" I want you to be cautious, because once you join, you don't just leave if you want to. I'll do whatever it takes to stop it from happening! ”
The mercenaries were silent again, no one would doubt Qin Tian's words, they believed that with Qin Tian's ability, they could do this.
"I opt-in!" Achill was the first to stand up: "This is the life I like, I don't want to go yet, so this makes a difference to me!" ”
"I'd like to join in!" Baker then stood up: "I like it here, I'm just worried that if my pursuers find it......"
"Don't worry about that!" Qin Tian smiled: "Once you join, I believe you don't need to worry about anything else!" ”
"I'm joining too!" Ben said, "I like that, which means I can let go of getting into trouble in the future!" ”
The mercenaries couldn't help but laugh.
Then, under their leadership, the mercenaries chose to join one after another, and only a few chose to quit.
However, these few who chose to quit did not affect the whole at all, Qin Tian paid them the last week's salary and then simply let them leave.
"Now, head!" Ben asked Qin Tian: "Let's take a look at the new equipment!" ”
Qin Tian raised his head to Bertrand, who was waiting on the side.
Bertrand understood, handed everyone a small box, and said, "One box per person, you have made the right choice, which is really cool!" ”
Ben and the others took the box, opened it, and couldn't help but be stunned: "Contact lenses? ”
"I didn't see anything, but it does look a little like contact lenses!"
Someone reached into the liquid in the box and shouted, "Hey, guys, it does seem to be a glass!" ”
Only the chief and the others from the Somali tribe didn't know after opening the box, so if it wasn't for Qin Tian to stop them, I was afraid that they would all drink the liquid in the box.
"You probably wear contact lenses!" Qin Tian asked.
"No, head!" Ben replied, "We didn't wear it!" ”
"I know!" Qin Tian replied.
The mercenaries require good eyesight, so most of them are not short-sighted, only Baker replied: "I have worn it, it's very simple, you just need to let yourself close your eyes unconditioned when it is close to your eyeball, then you can easily put it on!" ”
Baker did this with ease, and then asked, "Why only one?" ”
"Because there's only one!" Qin Tian replied: "Put it on your left eye!" ”
"What's the use of it?" Ben asked, "Is it the new equipment?" ”
"Just put it on and you'll know!"
It wasn't a difficult task, except for a few members of the Somali tribe, who took it for granted that it was some kind of magic, which took the chief some time to convince.
Ben put his glasses on, rubbed his eyes, looked around, spread his hands and said, "Nothing happened, head." ”
Qin Tian didn't say anything, and motioned for Bertrand to continue.
Bertrand picked up a remote control and said, "It's time for the show!" ”
With a "whew", a small drone rose smoothly into the air, and then everyone exclaimed, because they saw a map in their line of sight, the map where the drone's line of sight was.
"It's called 'Hummingbird'!" "You see," said Bertrand, "it is very small, the size of a plate. But it's not small, it's the 'contact lens' that you guys wear, sorry, we call it a virtual receiver...... Now you should understand that it will receive the information detected by the 'Hummingbird' and send it to each of you in a map, with the blue dots representing you and the red dots representing potential enemies, and at the right time! ”
"Wow!" Ben called, "That way we know where our people and enemies are at all times, and then we can react in time!" ”
"Yes!" Bertrand replied, "It's a scout, and if you want to attack a building, or a forest, you can easily enter it and get what we want to know!" ”
"What is its scope of work?" Baker asked.
"Uh......" Bertrand picked up his notebook and flipped through it, and replied, "Thirty kilometers, I'm right, head?" ”
"Thirty kilometers in a radius!" Qin Tian replied: "It can work for 12 hours and has a maximum speed of 120 kilometers per hour, which means that it may only take fifteen minutes to reconnoiter a target thirty kilometers away!" ”
The reason why "maybe" is used is because if the line of sight is good, the "hummingbird" can detect the target through its internal telescope at a distance of 10 kilometers and complete the mission.
"That's so cool, head!" I couldn't help but reach out to the "hummingbird" suspended in front of me, but the "hummingbird" was as flexible as a living creature to avoid it, and even hid behind Qin Tian in fear.
This couldn't help but make the mercenaries look at each other.
"It's a robot?" Ben's eyes widened.
"So to speak!" Qin Tian replied: "We have added some artificial intelligence to it!" ”
"There's nothing strange about that, Ben!" Baker said: "Drones have artificial intelligence, otherwise, you think they are completely remotely controlled to complete all kinds of complex flight maneuvers and make emergency responses? ”
Baker is right, drones can react on their own, especially military drones, they can even take off and land on aircraft carriers...... That is to input a large number of take-off and landing data of aircraft carrier pilots into the database, so that the drone can learn to take off and land.
It's just that what Baker doesn't know is that a drone as small as the "Hummingbird" also carries similar artificial intelligence, which is not an easy task.
