Chapter 264: Drones in place

"Let's start with the bad news."

Chen Shen replied quietly.

"The bad news is that the Shadow Corps have well hidden their gear."

"The good news?"

"The good news is that we can find it too, right in the well."

"Jackal, I remember telling you many times, your pun really sucks, please don't play it again."

Chen Shen couldn't help but roll his eyes at the jackal, but in fact, he had to admit that the jackal's pun level was still improving.

The bad news in his mouth is "hide it well" and the good news is "find that well".

well stands for both "good" and "well", and according to the jackal's description, they found the drone in the well, and this usage is really interesting.

After all, at least grammatically, he's not just a clichΓ©.

It seems that during the time when he had nothing to do, he really watched a lot of American dramas.

And after seeing Chen Shen's expression, the jackal also "cut" disdainfully.

"You just don't want to admit my progress-β€”β€” at least my English is much better than your tactical speaking."

"Okay, I don't have time to make small talk with you, let's get down to business."

"We've got the drone, guess where we found it?"

"Well, you've already said that."

"I mean, in what well?"

"Isn't it an ordinary well?"

"Certainly not an ordinary well! Please, what idiot would hide such an important piece of equipment in a well? It is an elevator shaft. ”

The jackal sat on the chair beside Chen Shen, and then continued:

"We managed to search the Shadow Corps' headquarters in Jingdong – it had already been thoroughly searched by the Burmese army, but it was clear that they didn't find what they were really looking for."

"When our people went in, they scanned all the walls and floors with penetrating devices, because I thought it would be impossible for them not to have a darkroom or mezzanine in such an important facility."

"And sure enough, we found a hidden space that wasn't too big underneath the ground floor."

"However, we didn't find a way in."

"We were going to demolish the space, but we certainly couldn't start with the ground floor, so we went into the elevator shaft."

"Guess what? The space under the elevator shaft is directly connected to the dark room. ”

"Only when the elevator is on the third floor, you can enter the elevator shaft through the rope ladder and enter the tunnel under the steel frame structure."

"And at the end of the tunnel is the 'treasure room' we are looking for."

"There's a security door thereβ€”not too secure."

"We burned the safety door with thermite, and we learned it from you."

"Then we found out that there are more than drones in there!"

"What else?"

Chen Shen immediately became interested, because he knew that if even the basement of the Banglong branch could have RQ-11, then with the arrival of the "coaching staff", the equipment that Jingdong headquarters would be equipped with would only be more advanced.

"There's another security door."

"Are you kidding me?"

Chen Shen directly made the jackal speechless, and after talking for a long time, he played two indecent stalks, and finally only gave himself such an answer.

Seriously, if it wasn't the jackal on the other side, but his own subordinates, the armed belt in Chen Shen's waist should have teleported to his hand.

But the jackal didn't feel anything wrong with his narration, and he just went on to himself:

"This is a major discovery, the first floor is an arsenal-β€”β€” or rather, a warehouse for common equipment."

"We found some new guns inside, including the SCAR you captured earlier, as well as the HK416, and the drone you wanted."

"In addition to these, there are many other tactical equipment, such as sights, thermal imagers, and so on."

"This equipment is obviously not only for a squad of twenty or thirty people, they have a larger deployment plan."

"At the same time, the level of protection of the second layer of security door is skyrocketing, it even has a self-destruct system, we did not go further, but it is clear that even from the information we have obtained so far, we can make a judgment."

"That is, the Shadow Corps is indeed not as simple as we thought at the beginning, and MPRI's operation in Jingdong is not just a mercenary group that is 'superficial'."

"Look, isn't that important information? I think this information will be more important than any equipment. ”

I can't even argue with you, because that's true."

Chen Shen shook his head and continued to ask:

"So what's your judgment?"

"It's very simple, the Shadow Corps has a connection with the CIA, and what we found is the CIA's safe house."

"Are you sure!?"

Chen Shen's brows furrowed instantly.

If the finds the CIA's safe house in Jingdong, it will be a lot of fun.

"I'm 80 percent sure that I looked at the photos that were sent back."

"I have a feeling that no other force than the CIA safe house is going to build this kind of thing."

"However, I'm not sure if it's ever been used – because judging by the wear and tear of the security door, it doesn't look like it's used regularly."

"So that means it's an outpost that was built ahead of time?"

"It's possible, but it's certainly not right now."

"Why?"

Chen Shen asked suspiciously.

"Because the Shadow Corps has been defeated by you, and Jing Dong is about to fall into your hands, it is impossible for them to use the safe house again until they renegotiate their cooperation with Shan State, and it is impossible to continue their previous plans."

"So, as I reminded you before, the impact of the fall of the Shadow Corps is indeed much greater than we imagined."

"MPRI will be back soon, no matter what, they'll have to get the safe house back."

"It's going to be soon, they may change their identities, but the essence is the same"

"That's true."

Chen Shen nodded slightly, and then, he spoke:

"But that's not the point, I have too many things in front of me to care about things far away."

"The point is, when will I get my drone?"

"1 hour later."

The jackal replied.

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure the stuff is already on its way."

"How did you get it out?"

"We have our own pathway."

"Is it safe?"

"Absolutely safe-β€”β€” let's say okay first, the gun and other equipment are half for one person, and the drone belongs to you, how about it?"

"Yes."

Chen Shen replied without hesitation.

Now that the light weapons of the Dongfeng Corps are completely overflowing, there is no point in hoarding too much, it is better to send a favor to the jackal.

After all, he was the only credible ally at the moment, and if he could, he would like to see the two sides closer.

And the jackal was also quite satisfied with Chen Shen's decisive attitude, he stood up with his chair and said:

"Then go out and wait-β€”β€” I want to see how you can fly this drone."

An hour later, the RQ-11 drone arrived as the jackal said, and at this time, Chen Shen finally knew what the jackal said about "their own way".

The trucks carrying the goods were carrying blue UN plates with the word "UNOMIG" painted on them.

Chen Shen never thought that Che Sili still had this kind of thing in his hands, let alone that he would actually use this relationship for his own affairs.

The moment the car drove over, he looked at the jackal with admiration, and the latter raised his head, although he didn't speak, but the word "proud" was written all over his body.

"The thing has arrived, so fly and watch it now?"

Looking at the large boxes removed from the car, the jackal asked, shaking his head.

Chen Shen stepped forward to open the box, and what caught his eye was indeed an RQ-11 drone that had obviously been used many times and had scratches all over the fuselage.

"That's a big thing."

Chen Shen said with emotion.

"Isn't that small? This is already the smallest drone I've ever seen."

Chen Shen sighed and did not answer.

Is the RQ-11 considered small?

Then you have never seen the quadcopter drone that became popular later, nor have you seen the tactical traverser dedicated to indoor reconnaissance, and you have never seen a miniature reconnaissance helicopter smaller than a dragonfly.

But of course, compared to the inherent impression of UAVs in the current environment, the RQ-11 is indeed not big.

With a wingspan of 130 centimeters and a length of 109 centimeters, the empty weight is only 1.9 kilograms, and it can be flown with one hand, and the endurance can even reach 90 minutes.

In terms of lightness and flexibility, this thing can indeed be regarded as the ceiling of the same era, and for Pubei, who have never seen the world, this is completely a cognitive dimensionality reduction blow.

It's no wonder that the jackal says "he wants to see how he flies too", because he really hasn't seen it either.

But in reality, the operation of the RQ-11 is very simple.

The operating system of this drone, or the ground station, is actually divided into two parts, one part is the flight handle with joystick and buttons, and the other part is the portable PDA including antennas and image transmission equipment.

Chen Shen took everything out one by one, and then connected it to the standard portable power supply, and it only took half an hour, and after all the preparations were completed, he planned to fly the drone.

At this time, all the mercenaries of the Dongfeng Legion also surrounded - this was the first time they had close contact with the legendary high-tech equipment, and everyone's faces were full of curiosity.

Chen Shen casually ordered someone to come over and fly the drone, and he explained:

"It's like throwing a paper airplane, and you can go to the sky with a hard breath."

This sentence was originally a joke, but what he didn't expect was that the kid really sighed before throwing it out.

The sense of ritual was pulled up, and the RQ-11 also landed steadily in the sky, while Chen Shen concentrated on operating the joystick, and within visual distance, let the big crow fly around above everyone's heads.

The RQ-11 is currently equipped with a normal CCD camera, but due to technical and weight limitations, the quality of the video transmission is extremely impressive.

When the plane flies to an altitude of about 100 meters, from the display screen, the crowd below is just a blurred shadow, not to mention distinguishing other people's faces, even the equipment situation is very difficult.

This kind of performance disappointed everyone, and even Bao Qi couldn't help but say:

"The quality of this thing is too inferior, I read reports before that its image transmission quality is poor, and I didn't expect it to be so bad."

"What's the use of such a picture? If the light is a little darker, you won't even be able to tell the human figure. ”

"It's time to replace it with an infrared camera – there's a spare kit in the box, just change it from the nose."

Chen Shen controlled the drone to fly out of sight, but the stuttering picture and sluggish operation immediately made him feel highly uncomfortable, so he could only fly the plane back again.

I have to say that he is still spoiled.

In the last life, when he started playing with drones, this thing had already matured, and it was even about to enter the era of cruise missiles.

Even if it is a relatively backward Rainbow-802, the operation feel is extremely smooth, where it will be like RQ-11, you have to predict the signal delay when you turn a corner.

Chen Shen became more and more uncomfortable the more he flew, so he simply stuffed the handle into Bao Qi's hand and asked him to operate it.

But I didn't expect that Bao Qi really had some talent in this area.

Although it's not very smooth and amazing, he can be regarded as flying smoothly for the first time.

Chen Shen nodded with satisfaction, and then said:

"Fly one more lap and then come down."

"How to land? I won't! ”

Bao Qi's voice was a little anxious, but Chen Shen waved his hand and said:

"Lower the altitude and fly nearby, and just let it go down."

"This thing is just a bunch of styrofoam, and it was designed without considering the problem of recycling, and it won't break."

"Really? It won't break, right? ”

Bao Qi was still hesitating, Chen Shen simply took the remote control in his hand and directly performed him what is called a deep forced landing.

The whole plane fell to pieces on the ground, and everyone was dumbfounded, but Chen Shen calmly stepped forward and picked up all the parts.

By the time he walked back to the ground station, the entire plane had been reassembled.

"Awesome, can you still play like this?"

Bao Qi said with his mouth open and stunned.

"What's so strange? The deep forced landing function is originally a must-have for squad-level drones, and if you can't land like this, there is no way to guarantee safety and concealment."

"Makes sense - when it comes to stealth, this thing is really quiet, and if it flies high enough, it really doesn't make any sound at all."

"Commander, can we make some articles on this, such as hanging something on it."

"It's not possible."

Chen Shen replied decisively:

"The RQ-11 can only accommodate its reconnaissance equipment in its load, and any more, it will crash."

"But of course, you're a good idea."

"Wait, I guess, it won't be long before it happens."

As he spoke, Chen Shen handed the handle back to Bao Qi, and then said:

"Bring this thing with you, and you can use it when you go to Mengxiu to investigate."

"Remember, you don't have much time, you must be able to get this thing done these days."

"We didn't have equipment before, but now we have, whether Mengxiu can finish this battle with weights depends on how far you can use this drone."

"Understood!"

Bao Qi replied solemnly, turned around and began to study the construction of the ground station.

Chen Shen, on the other hand, turned his head with a deep gaze and looked south.

Next, he had to fight two battles at the same time.

And he has to win both battles!
