"Here they are."

Fenriel's eyes widened, there was not a single ship on the sea in front of her, and there were no transports or helicopters in the sky.

"Look above our heads."

Fen Liel subconsciously looked up, and there was nothing above their heads except for a somewhat large beetle circling and flying.

On the southern Pacific islands, which are overgrown with tropical plants, insects such as beetles are everywhere.

"The research team of the University of California, Berkeley, once submitted a report to the US Department of Defense, believing that the use of nanotechnology to create a 'mechanical beetle' can act as a small aircraft to carry out infiltration reconnaissance of targets. The DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency), which funded the research, eventually adopted the plan and approved the implementation of the NAV (NanoFlyer) program. ”

York looked at the little beetle flying above their heads, and said indifferently: "I am still his honorary assistant to the NAV project team formed by Professor Saki, and before he came up with the feasibility report and it was accepted by DARPA, 60% of his initial funding was privately sponsored by me. This thing looks quite mysterious, but the theory is very simple, that is, an electronic control device is implanted in the beetle's nervous system, and when it flies, if you turn to the left with the remote control, the electronic control device will stimulate the beetle's nerves, causing the power output of its two wings to deviate, and finally form the current situation of flying in an arc to the left. ”

"Therefore, if you want to control this nanotechnology flying beetle, the movement must be gentle, and the flight direction can only be changed by arcing flight trajectory, otherwise the flying beetle will easily lose control in the air and fall headlong. And ......"

Speaking of this, York smiled, "Even if this beetle is installed with monitoring equipment, due to energy limitations, the signal transmission and reception range will never exceed one kilometer." The only option to control it at such a close distance without being seen by us is to use a one-man submarine as a power, dive underwater to avoid the warning net, infiltrate the outer edge of the island, and then use excellent stealth technology to successfully land. Do you think, gentlemen of the Death Knights? ”

At the end of York's explanation, the beetle that had been hovering above them suddenly made a large arc in the air, flew straight towards a wood, and finally disappeared into a patch of grass. Immediately after that, a dozen soldiers with their bodies shrouded in cloaks, and even their weapons were no exception, crawled out of the grass.

At this time, Fen Li'er rubbed her eyes vigorously, because the dozen or so soldiers lurking in the grass looked translucent! Fenriel's vision could pass through their bodies, and she could even clearly see the green grass behind them.

"It seems that the 'xtalvision' optical camouflage system developed by the University of Tokyo in Japan has entered the stage of small batch trials."

Seeing this shocking scene, even York put away his smile and showed a solemn look on his face.

Theoretically, it is possible to use optical camouflage to make soldiers act like chameleons on the battlefield, changing according to their surroundings and colors. In order to achieve optical camouflage, there are three important points that need to be completed: background projection, semi-reflector, and recovery reflector.

This "xtalvision" optical camouflage system uses the principle of light reflection and refraction to deceive the human eye. According to the analysis of some scientists in the United States, it will take at least 10 years to overcome various problems one by one and apply them to the field of individual combat.

But now these members of the "Death Knights" are wearing real optical camouflage camouflage cloaks. No matter how many weaknesses and vulnerabilities there are in this device, it is clear that the University of Tokyo has made a breakthrough in the research of the XTALvision system, leaving the relevant research institutes in the United States behind for at least a decade.

Such an epoch-making weapon was obviously developed by the University of Tokyo, but the test appeared on the "Death Knights" team, and it can be seen that the hands and eyes of the Skull and Bones behind them are all over the sky.

The team also consisted of 16 members, and the average age of each team member was over 30 years old. Even with the vision he had cultivated countless times in York, he couldn't determine who was the captain of this team at first glance.

Everyone has their own characteristics, everyone exudes the stability and wisdom that has been precipitated after a hundred battles, and everyone is as calm as water when walking, but their eyes are as sharp as eagles.

They are a group of veterans, a group of veterans who have participated in real wars and seen death, so they have thrown away the worthless youth and frivolity, and the fear and anxiety that will only make them die faster, and learn to face everything with a steady attitude, and form the most deadly attack and counterattack against the incoming enemy with their comrades-in-arms until they win the victory!

People like them, after being discharged from the army, often suddenly find that they don't know when they can no longer adapt to the normal world, and they can't enjoy a comfortable and comfortable life like ordinary people, drinking beer and watching football games. They crave the thrill of being in the shadow of death, and they love the sense of power that they have in their hands and look down on the living beings...... So, they tend to go back to the battlefield in a different way.

Veterans, all veterans who have received special training and are qualified to serve as captains!

Some of them may be from the US Navy SEALs, some may be from the Delta Special Forces, some may be from the Green Bailey Special Forces, some may be from the more elite Red Scorpion Special Forces, and if you add up their actual combat experience, they can even write a modern special operations encyclopedia!

Gathering such a group of captain-level veterans together is already a rather terrifying force, not to mention that they are also equipped with an unknown number of "concept weapons", which is tantamount to putting on iron armor and wings that can fly!

"Hello, is this Mr. York, the 'Golden Brain'?"

A slightly childish voice reached York's eardrums, and only one member of the whole team looked very young, perhaps less than twenty years old, and when he walked up to York and spoke, Feniel's gaze naturally fell on the young man's face, and then she was soon surprised and amused to find that the young man's face turned red.

He looks like a boy who has just fallen in love, usually staying at home and rarely going out, so he has an extraordinary sensitivity and shyness towards the opposite sex.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Smith, and I'm the captain of the 'Death Knights' team, and you can call me like my team if you wish, Mr. York...... Light-brained boy! ”

The big boy in front of him, who looked like he was not even twenty years old, turned out to be the captain of the veterans of the "Death Knights"!

Hearing this, the pupils of York's eyes had condensed slightly, and when he heard the young captain's nickname "Light-Brained Boy", the pupils of York's eyes had contracted into the most dangerous pin-and-needle shape.

As a bystander, Fen Lier suddenly found that although there was a ten year difference in age, these two people who were looking at each other really looked like each other!

Their external images are very different, but when two people stand together, it is easy to be regarded as brothers who are related by blood. Don't look at this "light-brained" boy who blushes shyly just after being stared at by Fenriel a few times, but his eyes are the same as York's, revealing a kind of pride that can only be produced by having absolute self-confidence, and even the smile on the corner of their mouth is exactly the same.

They all seem to have the transcendence of treating all things in heaven and earth as a chessboard and turning all living beings into chess pieces, but because of this, when the two chess players meet each other, what bursts out of their eyes is clearly a spark of same-sex repulsion!

Now that the other party has already walked in front of him to call for battle, York will not flinch or weaken, he looked at the other party's too thin body, and sincerely suggested: "This kind of place is too dangerous, not for children to come." ”

"yes, I've only graduated from Yale University for three years and have two PhDs." The light-brained boy looked worried: "If it weren't for the fact that there happened to be a topic that I was interested in, I wouldn't have come to this kind of place at all to participate in a boring activity of chimpanzee fighting." ”

Yale University graduate!

York's pupils contracted again, and by this time, the identity of the light-brained boy had been revealed...... A full member of the Skull and Bones Society.

A person who may enter Yale University, an "Ivy League" joint school in the United States, at the age of twelve or thirteen, and obtain a super genius in a double doctoral school at the age of twenty, as long as he is willing, he is of course qualified to enter the Skull and Bones Club! Of course, he is also eligible to be the captain of the "Death Knights" team.

"Mr. York, the subject that interests me is also related to you."

The light-brained boy still had a shy blush on his face, "My research topic is that after the genius and the pseudo-genius meet, the myth is shattered and the confidence collapses, and the pseudo-genius may make a stress reaction. ”

The target of the Lightbrain Boy is York, who has the nickname "Golden Brain"!

York laughed, "You mean to say that you're a real genius and I'm just a pseudo-genius?" You came here this time just to hit me, and then see how frustrated I was, how I fell willingly, and how I complained? ”

"Your heart beat exactly sixty beats per minute, but now don't look at your flat face, but your beating has reached a speed of seventy-eight beats per minute; Your body temperature was 36.2 degrees Celsius just now, and now it's 36.7 degrees Celsius, and no matter how you disguise it, you're still excited. ”
