Chapter 1104 New Toys

Professor Wei Kang was most worried about being unfamiliar with the place of life in Egypt. Although he will definitely hire a guide after arriving in the local area, the guide is only a geographical guide. It would be too much to expect them to understand the culture and language of ancient Egypt. I can't afford to hire a capable guide.

When it comes to Chinese history, it must be said to be 5,000 years, and when it comes to Egyptian history, it must be said to be 7,000 years, but in fact the history of ancient Egypt is only 5,000 years. When the era of Cleopatra came to an end, it was completely interrupted. The year 2000 is no longer the era of pharaohs. The successors threw the culture and inheritance of ancient Egypt into the garbage dump of history. The Arabs replaced the real Egyptians and became the masters of that land.

Therefore, the current Chinese are still the Chinese 2000 years ago, but the current Egyptians are no longer the Egyptians 2000 years ago, and the official language is Arabic.

The reason is probably because China was born in a relatively good geographical location. There are plateaus and seas in the east, south, and southwest as natural barriers, while the other directions can ensure proper exchanges with foreign countries, so that they will not be isolated overseas and isolated from the world. .

Egypt is located in a strategic hub surrounded by three continents and two seas. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. Especially in ancient times, everyone coveted this rich world granary. Therefore, the unlucky ancient Egyptians were rounded up every few decades. Not only is the cultural inheritance interrupted, but even ancient buildings have been frequently damaged by wars. It is said that the nose of the Sphinx was collapsed by Napoleon.

One of the main goals of this scientific expedition is to find the original Egyptian cat thousands of years ago, and to find decisive evidence for the domestication process of domestic cats, which is bound to intersect with archeology and history. Wei Kang had no idea about this, so he invited Mr. Luo to make up lessons for the scientific expedition team, but he also knew that this was of little significance, but ever since he knew that Zhang Zian knew about the writing and history of ancient Egypt, he felt as if he had been injected A shot of a booster can also end a worry.

"Come on, come here to familiarize yourself with the equipment for our trip, and try on the clothes to see if they fit." He pointed to the equipment and clothing piled in the corner.

Wei Kang customized a complete set of clothes for each member of the expedition team, including short-sleeved shorts and long-sleeved trousers, sun protection clothes, cold clothes, and matching baseball caps. The logo of Binhai University was printed on the clothes and hats. Wearing this dress to Egypt, first, it looks very formal, and second, in case of chaotic scenes, you can easily find your companions from the crowd and avoid being separated. After all, the situation in Egypt is unstable.

Zhang Zian simply tried it on, and the size fit him well.

He turned his gaze and saw something very special in a box, so he walked over and asked, "Professor Wei, what is this?"

Wei Kang was also trying on clothes, took a look and replied, "Oh, that's the latest model of professional drone."

"Drone?" Zhang Zian had heard of this thing, but it was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes.

Wei Kang nodded, "During this scientific expedition in the wild, there will be drones following the whole journey. One is to record the details of the entire trip as valuable information in the future; the other is for safety. Once there is any change around, the hovering UAVs in the air can be detected in advance; the third is to find wild animals more effectively, after all, flying high and seeing far.”

In a portable suitcase, a drone with a high-tech beauty lies quietly inside. The silver-white magnesium-aluminum alloy body and the arm made of carbon fiber are both light and strong, and the four propellers are thin and sharp. , twisted in a graceful arc.

A gimbal camera that looks like a high-end camera lens is placed in another small box. The big smart eyes are coated with a green film, reflecting Zhang Zian's figure.

In addition, there are various accessories such as remote control and spare batteries.

This thing is quite expensive at first glance, Zhang Zian said with confidence that Professor Wei has really made thorough preparations for these trips to Egypt.

"Xiao Zhang, I was just about to tell you about this - when we went to the wild, several of us have other things to do, such as collecting wild animal samples and taking pictures, so I want to arrange for you to come in charge of operating the drone,

what do you think? " Wei Kang discussed.

"Me? But I haven't played with this thing before." Zhang Zian really wanted to play with it. If it was an entry-level drone worth a few thousand dollars, it would be fine, but this one would cost at least tens of thousands of dollars including all the accessories. Qian's professional drone, if it falls...he really can't afford it!

"It doesn't matter, it's very simple, just follow the operating instructions. The current drone supporting software is very smart. It has anti-collision detection on the top, bottom, left, and right, and can automatically avoid obstacles. You just need to ensure that the drone hovers above our heads all the time. Go up, and then use the drone's eyes to find the wild animals we are looking for." Wei Kang encouraged.

Zhang Zian understood, because he was the only one in the team who was relatively free and suitable for this job.

"Okay, I understand." He no longer refused, and simply accepted the task.

"Well, when you go back later, take the drone back with you to familiarize yourself with the operation." Wei Kang said, and at the same time reminded him, "By the way, find an open space during the test flight, preferably somewhere in the suburbs." place, don’t fly in the no-fly zone!”

"I see."

Zhang Zian was also very happy, like a child who got a new toy. It is estimated that taking this drone back to the pet store will surprise the shop assistants and elves.

As for the test flight location, isn't there a ready-made open space behind the pet shop? Although it is not in the suburbs, no one usually goes there, so it probably isn't a no-fly zone.

Then, Zhang Zian noticed a box of strange equipment, not as delicate as a drone, but a large number, one after another camouflage-painted cuboid boxes neatly arranged in the suitcase, each box has a Built-in lens and sensor.

"What is this?"

He kept asking questions like Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden, and everything he saw was very fresh.

"Haven't you seen it before? This is an infrared trigger camera." Fatty Xiao Tianyu took off his sun protection suit with great effort. Even though it was already the largest size, he still wore it very tight.

"All of these?" Zhang Zian asked again.

"Yes, it's useless to bring only one of this thing. Put a lot of them in areas where wild animals may appear. When warm-blooded animals or moving objects pass by the camera, they will automatically take pictures." Xiao Tianyu explained, "Because Many wild animals are afraid of people, and we have limited time, so we can’t always wait in one place, and after placing the infrared camera, we can go to other places to do other things, and come back to check after we are done.”

Zhang Zian was stunned when he heard that, Wei Kang really spent his money this time, it seems that the possibility of success in this mission is very high, as long as the original Egyptian cat still exists in Egypt, it is likely to be found.
