Chapter 269: Special Circumstances
After Batman left prison, Chu Cheng quickly quit the game and confirmed the development progress of the technology module.
"How's our second batch of drones on Friday?"
"In the development process." Friday said, "Only thirty-two have been completed so far." And the first phase of testing is still ongoing, and there may still be areas that need to be debugged.
In addition, according to the plan, the raw materials for the second batch of drones have not yet arrived. Some of the materials have already been depleted, and we may have to wait for the next batch of materials to be in place. ”
Chu Cheng frowned slightly.
Lei Cheng is a small place, a little far from the location of Jiangdu, and it was not on Chu Cheng's attention list for the time being. According to the original plan, if you take it slowly step by step, it should be a long time before Chu Cheng sends heroes to take the city.
The tragedy at Tickerson Prison forced him to notice it in advance. A killer with phantom abilities is an immediate threat, and every second of delay can cause mass casualties.
Chu Cheng soon realized that this was a good opportunity to test his new deployment - the efficiency of the drone network he had built when it came to finding specific targets. However, as said on Friday, the new batch of materials is being prepared by the Star Technical Committee, and it is expected that it will be in place for two more days.
But it's not a big problem.
"Let's launch all the remaining thirty-two parts to Thunder City first." Chu Cheng ordered, "Then from the coverage network, how much is still missing, from Vendelani's drone formation." ”
"It's already done, sir."
As he spoke, the watchtower in the orbit of the Pole Star had opened its hatch again. More than thirty drones broke through the atmosphere in a neat formation and dived in the direction of Thunder City.
At the same time, the drones patrolling the streets and alleys of Vendelani also separated some of them, and the thrusters accelerated to the other side of the horizon, heading towards Thunder City. The remaining drones intelligently adjust their patrol routes to include as much of the vacant part of the coverage network as possible in their field of view.
Of course, none of this anyone noticed. They were invisible the whole time, and no one noticed the changes in the invisible electronic monitoring network around them, whether it was the public or the official or the underground world.
"And the facial recognition program I was talking about?" Chu Cheng continued to ask.
"It was just finished ten minutes ago, and Mr. Stark programmed it himself." "Applying the most advanced facial recognition algorithms we currently have, the accuracy and efficiency are ahead of the world's most advanced technology for a generation." ”
"Okay, upload to the central server and let each drone download the program." Chu Cheng said, "Let's see how it works." ”
"Yes, sir."
The transfer efficiency is also very fast, and all drones have completed the download in an instant. As the first prisoner to have the honor of testing this algorithm, Yaslan Khalifa's facial recognition data was quickly uploaded to the hub and set as the highest query priority for all drones.
The area of Lei City was originally not large, and the drone formation quickly completed the full coverage of the city. They stealth their tracks, weaving through high-rise buildings and alleys, and the most sophisticated scanners are like the eyes of countless predators, scanning every corner of the city in every way.
The test went even more smoothly than Chu Cheng imagined.
Just ten minutes after the drone was deployed, one of the machines sounded the alarm. The invisible camera captured the murderous face of Yaslan Khalifa at a distance almost pasted on his face.
He wears a wide-brimmed hat, shields his eyes with a somewhat stupid pair of sunglasses, and pulls his collar high, but he is still recognized by Stark's facial recognition software.
"I think we've found our purpose, sir."
"Good. Have the drone ready just in case, but don't alarm him, follow him and stand by, just in case he doesn't let him run. ”
Chu Cheng said that he had started to load the number, and after a moment of loading, he entered the hero selection interface.
Although his drone is a lite version of the movie, it is also equipped with a certain amount of firepower. It's just that the target may have a phantom and an ability, and the drone may not be able to handle it, and a rash move will not only startle the snake but also hurt the innocent.
In addition, unless it is an emergency situation that is forced to do so, he will not directly use drones to intervene in combat.
Because the point of this network is surveillance, it is very important for all drones to remain invisible. Once a drone is publicly available, they will attract attention and affect the development of the entire system in the long run.
They can only function best if they remain invisible at all times. They look after everyone, but no one needs to know that they exist.
This is also why Chu Cheng did not wear a uniform to strengthen the firepower configuration of the drone.
"Send a text message to Agent Luo, he won't want to miss it." Chu Cheng said.
"Yes, sir."
......
Thunder City Central Square.
One of the few bustling locations in this small city, it is considered by some citizens to be the only address where you can find the feel of a big city in the whole place.
In the center sits a circular flower bed, surrounded by neon lights and electronic billboards that never go out all year round. Popular movie stars scratch their heads on billboards, and even in the dead of night, the streets are bustling with people.
Yaslan Khalifa walked into one of the largest malls in the square, fully armed under a wide trench coat.
This is the place Naoya Iwanaga and he chose, located in the center of the city, the most noteworthy place, and the address of tomorrow's headlines in the city.
"Go in and do what you want, and come out right away."
Naoya Iwanaga explained as he asked his assistant to hand over a plan to Aslan.
"My men have already arranged an escape route for you. We estimate you'll have up to fifteen minutes before the sheriff's office and some other troublemakers arrive. After that, just follow the plan and you'll be able to ......."
"I don't need that kind of thing." Aslan snorted, not intending to take his proposal.
“...... Well, I appreciate your self-confidence. Naoya Iwanaga smiled, "But in my experience? It always doesn't hurt to have multiple back roads. ”
Aslan thought for a moment and didn't say anything, but still took the plan.
But as he said, he didn't think he would use it.
Now he has gained extraordinary strength, stronger than ever.
"Sir."
The security guard at the entrance of the mall stopped him.
"Please take off your hat and sunglasses. These are extraordinary times, and there are special circumstances. ”
"Oh, special case, of course."
Aslan looked up and smiled at the security guard as he raised his gun.
"I think I'm the 'special case.'"
But he never dreamed that the security guard would react quickly to grab his gunman and make a perfect grapple, with an astonishing force. Aslan was in pain, and the gun in his hand suddenly fell to the ground.
He was taken aback and looked at the security guard in front of him in dismay. I saw a light blue ripple rolling over the security guard, and in the next second, a huge bat with a height of one meter eight had appeared in front of him.
"Interesting." Batman said coldly, "Then I think I should be your 'special case'." ”
