Chapter 300 The Power of Drones
"General Lin, take another look at this."
"This is the UAV's ground control station, which can receive the UAV's images and data in real time and conduct command and control." Li Yang said proudly and pressed the button on the box.
There was a buzzing sound, and the display flashed a few times and gradually lit up.
Although the image is not clear enough and the resolution is low, you can vaguely see the scene of the drone in flight.
"What kind of drone took this picture? Is this what the world looks like in its eyes?" General Lin muttered to himself, staring at the screen with his eyes wide open.
On the screen, there was a lush forest. The sunlight shone through the gaps between the branches and leaves, covering the earth with a layer of golden gauze.
The drone was flying close to the treetops, and from time to time a small bird would fly over, causing a panicked cry in the forest.
The picture shook a few times, and the drone suddenly rose higher, rushing out of the woods in a blink of an eye, and what came into view was an endless field.
As the drone flies quickly, ridges, farmhouses, streams, small bridges...
Beautiful countryside scenery quickly passes through the display screen, giving people a wonderful experience of being there and riding the wind. ?1?8
"This is like having eyes, and being able to see the world as seen by the drone!" General Lin exclaimed, "With this, can we remotely detect the enemy and command operations?"
Li Yang smiled and nodded: "That's right. With the drone's 'clairvoyance', commanders can get a full view of the battlefield without leaving their homes, and grasp the enemy's and our own movements in a timely manner, providing first-hand information for decision-making!"
He pointed at the screen and said: "Look at this picture, although the resolution is not high, it is more than enough for reconnaissance intelligence.
Combined with the optoelectronic pod on the gimbal, it can conduct uninterrupted image reconnaissance day and night, and conduct target search, identification, and tracking...
I believe that if used on the battlefield, it will greatly enhance our battlefield perception capabilities!"
General Lin nodded repeatedly and said in amazement: "That makes sense! This can reduce the sacrifice of many scouts, and can also detect the enemy's intentions at any time to prevent sneak attacks. It can be said to be a magical weapon!"
Staring at the screen, I saw that the drone had flown to a small river and was looking down from the cliff.
The vast blue waves, the surging white caps, the sea and the sky are one color, which is spectacular.
The drone circled and hovered over the sea, sometimes flying close to the water, skimming over the waves and splashing water mist; sometimes flying higher, skimming over the reefs, crossing the beach, and then flying back inland.
The entire flight process was smooth and seamless, and it was impossible to tell that it was controlled by a machine.
"Fuck, this is too flexible, isn't it?" General Lin's jaw dropped in shock. "If they fly in formation and launch a surprise attack over the enemy's head, wouldn't it be like being in an empty space? They can hit wherever they want!"
Li Yang smiled without saying anything and silently pushed the joystick on the remote control.
General Lin was still looking at the scenery with great interest when the picture on the screen suddenly paused and quickly zoomed in.
An abandoned factory building with broken walls appeared on the monitor.
"Attention, suspicious target detected!"
Following Li Yang's low-pitched prompt, the drone suddenly slowed down and hovered over the factory building as if holding its breath.
It cautiously poked its head out and used the optoelectronic pod under its belly to constantly change angles, observing the factory from different directions and sometimes zooming in to focus on the doors and windows of the factory.
Sometimes he zoomed out to observe the surrounding environment; sometimes he moved left and right to look for clues... He observed like this for a full ten minutes.
Although the image on the screen was blurry, one could vaguely see human figures swaying in the ruins, and there seemed to be shadows of guns and artillery.
"Oh my god, the enemy situation!" General Lin stood up quickly, his face tense, "Xiao Li, this might be the hiding place of enemy spies, and there may be artillery. We must act quickly to take advantage of the situation!"
"General, hold on!" Li Yang quickly held him down and called up the optical magnification lens on the drone's gimbal.
"We can't just bomb them rashly. We need to find out their details first. You see, drones are monitoring them now. If there's any movement, we'll be able to find it immediately!"
He commanded the drone to continue hovering, and the optoelectronic equipment on the gimbal began to work non-stop. The far-infrared thermal imager penetrated the thick wall and clearly outlined the silhouette of the hiders; the low-light television amplified the details of the target and identified the type of their weapons; the laser rangefinder continuously scanned and accurately calculated the enemy's coordinates...
In the blink of an eye, detailed target intelligence appeared on the display screen.
"Fuck, this is too powerful!" General Lin's eyes lit up, his face full of excitement, "With this information, the troops can go deep behind the enemy lines and wipe out the lair easily, right? We can also use drones to eliminate the enemy directly!"
"You are right. ?1?8" Li Yang nodded and pointed to the flashing numbers on the screen," I have locked the latitude and longitude coordinates of the factory.
The drone is now a scout flying behind enemy lines, ready to strike immediately once it discovers a situation.
This is much more advanced than traditional infiltration reconnaissance, safe, efficient, and can also perform precision strikes, it is a powerful tool for special operations!"
Li Yang explained incessantly, his face filled with pride and excitement.
General Lin could no longer listen. He stared at the screen with a pale face and his lips trembling slightly.
Li Yang's words just now made him feel like he was struck by lightning. His head was buzzing and he couldn't recover for a long time!
"This... this is too amazing..."
After a long while, General Lin finally found his voice and said tremblingly: "Xiao Li, your drone is a mind-blowing revolution in military reform!
In the past, to carry out special reconnaissance missions, it took many well-trained agents to go deep behind enemy lines and risk their lives to collect a little intelligence; to strike the enemy unexpectedly, it was even more necessary to risk being exposed, lurking in advance, and waiting for the opportunity?1?8 But what about now?
The drone is like an agile falcon. It can easily cross the enemy's defense lines and conduct reconnaissance deep into the hinterland. It can also be remotely controlled and transmit intelligence back in a timely manner. It is both covert and safe. After discovering the target, it can also attack quickly without leaving any trace.
Such a weapon is tailor-made for special operations!
It can be imagined that the special forces equipped with drones can enter the enemy as if they were in an empty space, and come and go freely under the enemy's nose; there is nowhere to hide on the battlefield, and they are under our control at any time and anywhere; we can hit and bomb wherever we want...
This is simply a revolution in the history of warfare, a whole new era of warfare!"
General Lin became more and more excited as he spoke. His face flushed, his speech was incoherent, and his whole body was shaking.
He grabbed Li Yang's collar tightly, his eyes shining, and shouted hoarsely: "Xiao Li, this thing is too important! It will completely change the face of future wars! We must equip our army with it as soon as possible, the sooner the better!"
At the end of his speech, General Lin even became incoherent, his whole body was shaking, and he could not stand steadily like an old tree with twisted roots.
He took a deep breath, tried to calm himself, and looked at Li Yang with bright eyes.
Li Yang was startled by his posture and quickly comforted him: "General, don't get excited. Although this thing is advanced, it still has a long way to go before it can be used in actual combat. We need time, more scientific researchers, and the concerted efforts of military enterprises to finally form combat effectiveness!"
"I know! I know everything!" General Lin grabbed his wrist fiercely, his eyes burning, "Don't worry, I guarantee that the best talents and the most powerful resources will be mobilized to fully support the research and development of drones! The future of the New Yan Country depends on scientists like you! Whatever conditions you have, just ask, I will satisfy them no matter what!"
General Lin's words were powerful and resounding.
But the next second, he showed a look of eagerness like a child, and asked in a somewhat flattering tone: "Xiao Li, how about you let me play for a while? Just for a while, I promise it won't delay anything!"
Li Yang smiled helplessly. General Lin, who was always serious and old-fashioned, now looked like a child looking forward to a new toy.
He smiled and nodded, handing over the remote control.
General Lin took the remote control and the wrinkles on his face smoothed out.
He held it carefully, fearing that it would break if he wasn't careful. Under Li Yang's guidance, he began to operate the drone clumsily.
"Push forward and step on the accelerator." Li Yang reminded from the side.
General Lin did as he was told. The drone roared, rose from the ground, and shot into the sky like an arrow.
"Oh my God!" General Lin exclaimed and hurriedly stepped on the accelerator.
Fortunately, Li Yang came to help and no accident occurred.
Gradually, General Lin also mastered some of the tricks.
He controlled the drone to turn and hover in the air, fly close to the ground, sometimes stop suddenly, sometimes speed up. His excitement was beyond words.
General Lin practiced over and over again for the entire afternoon.
It was not until the drone ran out of battery that he reluctantly returned the remote control to Li Yang.
"Xiao Li, this drone is amazing!" General Lin said before leaving, "Bring a few more next time, and we'll fly in formation. That scene will surely amaze everyone!"
Li Yang agreed with a smile. After seeing General Lin off, he remembered that he still had a pile of drawings and materials to hand over.
"General, please wait a moment!" Li Yang rushed into the office and took out a stack of neatly arranged drawings.
"Here are the design data and process files for the drone. You can take them back to the research institute for reference. I have a backup copy here. If you need anything in the future, please feel free to communicate with me."
General Lin nodded repeatedly, carefully took the blueprint, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, our army will go all out to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible!"
After General Lin's figure disappeared in the twilight, Li Yang stared into the distance and suddenly let out a long sigh of relief.
……
At this time, in the courtyard, the execution of Yi Zhonghai had become the talk of the neighborhood.
