Two new drones underwent a number of tests in front of Chen Chen.

Like two UFOs, the two gray drones dangled in the sky, constantly flipping and moving, and seemed to be more agile than birds.

"The new drone is equipped with a face scanning system and a 12K high-definition zoom camera, which can confirm the accurate identity of a person up to 500 meters away, and can be converted into night vision mode even at night, which is no different from daytime."

"Of course, we don't know the specific program for the time being, and it all depends on the motherboard chip you provide......"

"Our drone flies at 20 decibels, which is equivalent to the rustle of the wind when it blows through the leaves, and in terms of the power system, the cruising speed is 80 kilometers per hour, which is completely sufficient if it is only used for patrolling." ”

After thinking about it, Mark added again, "Of course, it's not the limit speed now, we may need some time to improve the ion pulse thruster, and in the future it is expected to improve the speed to more than 120 kilometers per hour, may I ask...... Do you need improvements? ”

Chen Chen nodded, "It definitely needs to, this kind of technique is not too much, so what about the defects?" ”

"If it's a defect, it's probably that the weight is too light."

Mark regretted, "Although we have tried to reduce the weight of the drone, but after all, we need to carry high-precision cameras, just two cameras weigh up to three kilograms, plus various instruments, the weight has exceeded ten kilograms, each additional kilogram of weight, the efficiency of the drone will drop exponentially, and it will be difficult to maintain flight status with three more kilograms." ”

Chen Chen nodded, "So you can't carry a weapon?" ”

"Yes."

Mark replied, "Even if it is our newly developed electromagnetic rifle, it will definitely not be able to be carried in terms of weight, but even if it can be carried, there is recoil in electromagnetic weapons, and the stability of the drone is not allowed to exceed the impact force of more than 3N, otherwise it is easy to lose control." ”

"Why do you have to carry an electromagnetic rifle?"

Chen Chen suddenly asked, "I see that there is ceramic armor on the drone, if the ceramic armor is removed, how about trying to carry a weapon such as a pistol?" ”

"However, without armor, wouldn't the survival rate of drones be a ......?"

Mark was stunned and said, "And the effective range of pistol weapons is only about fifty, and if the drone wants to attack the enemy, it must get close, and without armor, the performance of the drone really can't be brought into play." ”

Chen Chen smiled when he heard this, "You don't have to worry about this problem, you just need to make a sample according to my requirements." ”

"If you insist."

Mark nodded reluctantly, but secretly he must still have the idea of thinking that Chen Chen is a layman to guide an insider.

Seeing this, Chen Chen simply didn't sell it, he took out a metal ball with a diameter of about three centimeters and put it in front of Mark's eyes, "All new drones must make a slot to fix this ball." ”

"This is ......" Mark was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Chen Chen's signal, he slowly took the metal ball in Chen Chen's hand.

Suddenly, just hearing the "ding" sound of the metal ball, Mark suddenly noticed that his hand had disappeared in front of him!

Mark looked down in amazement, but was horrified to find that his body had also disappeared, no, not disappearing, Mark found that he could still feel the presence of his body, not only that, but with his movements, a faint trace of light could be seen in the air Distorted.

In their eyes, Mark had just taken over the metal ball, and then only heard a crisp sound from the metal ball, and then Mark disappeared directly in front of everyone!

"Smack!"

Just when Mark was shocked, there was a sudden stroke in his hand, and the metal ball suddenly fell to the ground, and it was only at this point that Mark found himself recovered again.

"It's ......"

Seeing this, Mark quickly grabbed the metal ball, revealing a look of shock, "This round ball can actually make people invisible?" ”

"Yes, this metal ball can produce an electromagnetic field of a certain frequency, and this electromagnetic field has the ability to distort light."

Chen Chen replied, "If this stealth device is mounted on a drone, do you still need armor?" ”

"If you can really be stealthy, then you really don't need armor......"

Mark nodded a little excitedly, and then asked again in confusion, "If it is by distorting light to create invisibility, then it stands to reason that it is impossible to accept the light from the outside world, which is equivalent to becoming blind at the same time as being invisible, but why can my eyes still receive light from the outside world after I am invisible?" ”

“？”

If I knew, what else would I want you to do?

Chen Chen didn't answer, but changed the topic and said, "Okay, the sample has been given to you, I hope you can improve the drone as soon as possible, at least let the drone have the attack power of light weapons, not a monitor that can move." ”

"Yes, definitely, we will be able to transform the new drone in three days!"

Everyone nodded.

Seeing this, Chen Chen turned around and left.

Of course, Chen Chen knew that compared to the UAV spy drone in the Elysium plane, the production of Mark Dawson's group of experts was naturally much inferior.

For example, the original version uses an engineering plastic, which is an armor with strong internal pressure deformation ability, which is about the same weight as ordinary plastic, but the bulletproof ability is comparable to steel.

Not only that, the nuclear fuel cell in the original drone can support the drone to levitate in the air for more than a month, while Chen Chen's battery technology can only make the drone fly in the sky for 24 hours.

After all, the technology generation gap is too large, and Chen Chen has not fully understood the hydrogen fuel cell technology of the Terminator plane, let alone the nuclear fuel cell technology of the Elysium plane.

Therefore, in the case of energy technology is not in place, it is inevitable that the performance of drones cannot catch up with the movie.

However, the intelligent system of the drone does not have to worry at all, after all, there is a small X, as long as these drones are lifted into the air, they will immediately be a pair of eyes of the little X, and then with the ubiquitous surveillance cameras, the entire life science city will have no dead ends.

This is Chen Chen's purpose, as Blacklight Technology continues to refresh the cutting-edge technology at the medical level, Life Science City has almost become a gladiatorial arena between major forces, and spies should emerge in an endless stream.

To this end, Chen Chen will . The S department has been expanded twice, recruiting hundreds of foreign mercenaries, but although the quality of the mercenaries is high, the elite spies sent by the major forces are not vegetarians. There is also a lot of damage to the S department.

But if the Black Knight forces are used, they will be killed.

The Black Knight can indeed quickly and effectively crush most of the spies in Life Science City, and he will never suffer a loss if he collides with force, but once Chen Chen really does this, wouldn't it be tantamount to telling the Federation that he has a legion in his hands that can crush the whole world?

Once the Black Knight is exposed, public opinion alone can crush the Black Light Technology to death, not to mention the sanctions from the Earth Federation.

As a result, the Black Knight can only be used as a hole card, which may work wonders when it matters, but when it comes to the table, it can only be used to find death.

……

Three days later, Chen Chen came to the research workshop led by Mark Dawson again, and Mark also sent the improved drone to Chen Chen. Simulated flight tests in the wind tunnel were also carried out.

And the effect is also very pleasant.

The new version of the drone has an extra small electromagnetic gun, which is the same model as the electromagnetic pistol in the electromagnetic weapon that will be installed with the Black Knight, using a 4×15mm fusiform hollow bullet, because of the weight, the loading volume is only 30 rounds, and the effective range is 100 meters.

Of course, the reason why he is equipped with weapons is that Chen Chen only wants to use this drone to carry out assassination missions in some special situations, and will never use it to perform frontal combat missions such as fire suppression, and Chen Chen does not want to expose this killer feature.

In addition, minus the armor of the shell, the weight of the new drone has been reduced to eight kilograms, although after reducing the weight by two kilograms, there is still not much improvement in speed, but the endurance has increased by four hours.

Finally equipped with a stealth, the drone immediately transforms into a ubiquitous ghost, invisible and silent enough to strike fear into the hearts of the best ace spies.

"Good."

Looking at the outstanding drone in the small wind tunnel, Chen Chen nodded and praised, "It is worthy of being the top team in the world, Dr. Mark, your ability is indeed worthy of your identity." ”

"Mr. Chen has won the award."

Mark laughed and said, "The reason why we have reached this point is also related to the funds you provided to us, as well as all kinds of top-notch equipment, otherwise we would not be able to quickly replicate this drone." ”

"So, with the lens, batteries, and all the costs, how much does such a drone cost in the final cost?"

Chen Chen finally asked the most critical place.

"Excluding research costs, the cost of such a drone is about three million dollars."

Mark pondered for a while and said decisively, "If we develop an assembly line for mass production, we can reduce the price by about 30%. ”

"Very good."

Chen Chen nodded, although the price was a bit expensive, Chen Chen could still afford it, at least it was much stronger than extracting the UAV spy drone directly from the USB flash drive.

The weight of a UAV spy drone is more than ten kilograms, and the power of a nuclear power plant can absorb less than 100 units in a month, Chen Chen is not crazy, how can he specially extract this kind of thing.

"Mr. Chen, now that all the data tests have passed, is it time to name this drone?"

Mark asked again, a look of anticipation in his eyes.

Hearing this, Chen Chen glanced at Mark, "Yes, your team has the right to name this kind of aircraft." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Chen."

Mark was overjoyed when he heard this, "I've actually thought of the name, how about calling it Mark-1?" Abbreviated as M-1 spy drone. ”

"M-1?"

Chen Chen reluctantly nodded, "In this case, the rewards for your team will soon be issued to your account, and I will also give you a boost for your authority in the God Forbidden Zone, and the design of this drone is enough for you to hand over to the department in charge of production, and there will be someone in charge of mass production." ”

"Understood."

Mark nodded, "So our next step is to improve the drone on the basis of the Mark-1 model drone?" ”

"Yes, for example, to design another spy drone that is more focused on speed and endurance, and at the same time is smaller."

Chen Chen replied, "Or design a combat drone that is larger and can carry a weapon platform, etc., I need drones for various purposes." ”

Mark was taken aback when he heard this, he seemed to vaguely understand Chen Chen's thoughts, and then he was a little embarrassed, "It's not difficult to continue to research and improve, but the difficulty lies in the equipment, so to find your needs, I'm afraid we need a larger wind tunnel." ”

"Wind tunnel?"

Chen Chen turned his head to look at the small wind tunnel behind him, and suddenly understood.

The development of aircraft does require this kind of facility called a wind tunnel, and the most basic small UAV is no exception.

A wind tunnel is a large-scale test facility that simulates the flow of gas around an aircraft or entity.

The difficulty and value of such a facility are even greater than that of a shield machine, and a wind tunnel with various functions is indispensable to build an aircraft.

Seeing that the other party had mentioned the wind tunnel, Chen Chen's heart suddenly moved.

After all, Chen Chen had always been interested in the "Bugatti-Folger Transporter" in "Elysium" before.

After all, under certain circumstances, a small flying machine the size of an ordinary car would be enough to send Chen Chen across the Pacific Ocean overnight, from one end of the earth to the other.

However, although the "Bugatti" is already the smallest flying machine, judging from the data Chen Chen got back, this Bugatti still weighs 2.4 tons, and Chen Chen has to save at least two months of power.

So Chen Chen understood that this kind of small flying machine could only be used occasionally, and the real royal way was to build the flying machine himself.

And if you want to build a flying machine, then you still can't build a wind tunnel.

Thinking of this, Chen Chen suddenly made up his mind, he raised his head and said to Mark, "In that case, Mark, do you have the confidence to take on a new mission while taking on the task of the drone?" ”

"Speak, please."

Seeing Chen Chen's solemn appearance, Mark's heart moved, "If it's not too difficult, I think I can try." ”

Chen Chen said, "If it is the same as a drone, I give you a sample of a manned aircraft, are you sure that kind of aircraft can be copied?" ”

"This ......"

Mark was silent for a while when he heard this, and then hesitated a little, "Although manned aircraft and UAVs are very similar in principle, the difficulty is not the same at all, and the small wind tunnel used by UAVs cannot support the research of manned aerial vehicles at all......"

"There's no need to worry about the wind tunnel."

Chen Chen waved his hand, "I am ready to invest three billion dollars to build a group of large-scale special wind tunnels here. ”

Mark's eyes lit up when he heard this, "If that's the case, I'm willing to try." ”
