Chapter 390 No One Survives
On the "Mengshi" sat Zhou Rui, the driver, Wang Tao, and two weapons assessment experts from the general assembly.
During the bumpy ride, Zhou Rui was still working on something on his laptop.
Wang Tao tightened the armrest and said, "Mr. Zhou, with such bumps, the drone won't be damaged, right?"
Zhou Rui didn't look up and said directly, "It can't be helped if it's broken. The purpose is to collect real data."
For the military part, a special mobile combat platform must be designed, and this situation will be improved in the future.
At this time, a weapons assessment expert said, "At present, only the United States has made some progress in the field of unmanned combat, but they are all large fixed-wing drones. Rotor drones like yours are still too fragile.
Zhou Rui didn't even look up and said, "Well, you are right. "
It's not that he looks down on anyone, it's just that no one understands this thing.
And it's not that large fixed-wing aircraft can't be made, you have to eat one bite at a time.
The two vehicles arrived at the designated area, the northwest of the test site, about 7 kilometers away from the "red side" of the exercise.
This is also a reasonable distance obtained by combining the endurance of the three types of drones.
On the endless Gobi Desert, there are only weeds and gravel. Occasionally, there is a crosswind, and the dead grass on the ground rolls unwillingly.
Many people got off the two vehicles and moved boxes of fully charged batteries to the open space.
This is not an easy job. The things are very heavy. It takes three adult men to lift them together. Even well-trained soldiers are very strenuous.
Zhou Rui silently put the "automatic The development of the "battery exchange unit" was recorded in the schedule.
The plug was pulled out, and the container was unfolded in all directions, revealing the three-layer frame structure inside. A number of drones were quietly lying inside.
It was densely packed and looked uniquely solemn.
The crowd conducted a series of debugging. Zhou Rui's notebook was connected to the communication tower installed on the "Mengshi", and then connected to all the drone communication modules.
All 50 drones have been loaded with the command program he specially wrote.
But as before, he could only put forward requirements and instructions, but could not judge how the "mechanical intelligence" would deal with it.
Zhou Rui took out the walkie-talkie and said: "The blue team is ready and applies for the start of the exercise."
Yes, in this exercise, they are the blue team.
On the tower a few kilometers away, Yang Rubin and some weapons evaluation experts were holding telescopes to observe the overall situation.
They have a better field of view and can see both sides.
Yang Rubin also received the same message from the red team, and replied after a moment: "Allowed to start, Zhou Rui, pay attention to safety. "
Zhou Rui put down the walkie-talkie and got on the "Mengshi" car as usual.
Take a deep breath and Zhou Rui said: "Everyone, stay away from the combat platform. "
Then he entered the command and pressed the enter key.
At first, it was quiet.
Then, the sound of propellers filled the entire auditory frequency band of this space.
10 ZW-01s flew out of the frame one after another, and then accelerated "swish swish swish". In two seconds, the speed soared to 70km per hour, heading towards the barren Gobi.
Just like the "shuttle" in the movie, they were connected in a long string, with a slight arc, and rushed away.
This formation was specially written by Zhou Rui, specifically for cluster-type long-distance movement to reduce air resistance for the following aircraft. It seems that "mechanical intelligence" has learned it very well.
Wang Tao secretly said handsome!
The two weapons evaluation experts narrowed their eyes at this formation.
In order to see it more clearly, Zhou Rui simply stood up. I don't know if the strong wind was due to the addition of the propeller, it was particularly agitated, pressing Zhou Rui's clothes tightly on his body, The hair fell back.
Next, don't worry about it.
Zhou Rui suddenly thought, does this count as "one man army"?
Let me see how the mechanical intelligence will act!
——————
This is the largest number of self-organizing networks so far, 50 mechanical units.
Invisible communication and data that do not need to be translated to humans are constantly interacting in the self-organizing network.
"They" are searching for targets.
Seven kilometers, it takes about 12 minutes to go back and forth, but the armored company is not concentrated in one point.
Soon, these flexible little guys found the first target.
About seven people, ambushed in the dry ditch machine gun squad.
In the self-organizing network, there seemed to be silent communication. When a long string of drones passed by, two drones were automatically diverted from the tail and hovered 300 meters above the machine gun squad.
The soldiers below vaguely heard the sound of the propeller above their heads and raised their heads in confusion.
"Fuck! What is this? Model airplane? Toy?"
The squad leader was a little uncertain, but soon gritted his teeth and said: "Shoot it down! "
Immediately, a soldier raised his gun and fired into the sky. However, the drone was very flexible. It did not hover in place, but kept circling.
It was a palm-sized thing, with a speed of nearly 50km/h and an altitude of 300 meters.
The bullet had no chance of hitting the target.
Just as they tried to cooperate with each other and carry the machine gun to fire, the two drones drew a beautiful arc and flew away.
"Report to the company commander immediately!"
On the other side, behind a concrete bunker, a Type 99 main battle tank was hiding behind the wall. Only the huge gun barrel was sticking out of the window, covered with camouflage mesh.
Although there were only a few walls left behind the tanks, they still provided a lot of cover. The infantry of the tank platoon was receiving information from the headquarters.
"The enemy has small aerial reconnaissance? What is small aerial reconnaissance? We are practicing to fight the air force? What a joke?!"
As they were talking, they also heard the sound of propellers above their heads.
Looking up at the non-existent ceiling, they could see the sky directly, where there were a few small dots hovering.
So close
Ten small drones discovered a large number of targets at a very fast speed, including tanks hidden behind broken walls and infantry hidden in the ruins of the dry ditch.
Preliminary reconnaissance, completed.
A few kilometers away from Zhou Rui's location, "they" have new actions.
Since there is no need to return and report the situation to "humans", the behavior of "mechanical intelligence" is seamless. Almost as each target is discovered, a ZW-02 medium-sized drone takes off from the combat platform behind the truck.
Soon, the machine gun squad that was discovered first ushered in their catastrophe.
In the dry ditch, several soldiers kept looking around.
The strange "flying machine" just now made them nervous.
Soon, a small dot appeared on the horizon again, and it was only 5 minutes since they were discovered.
They didn't even have time to wait for the next order from the headquarters.
"Shoot! Shoot quickly!"
The weak bullets all fired blanks, and the black dot on the horizon was getting closer and faster.
Even the route was not straight, but moving in an S shape.
When the black dot passed over the heads of several people, a round sphere was thrown down.
"Lie down!"
"Bang".
There was no explosion, no rubble.
Red smoke was flying all over the sky. This was the effect of the explosion of special paint bombs. The towers several kilometers away could see it clearly.
"Ahem! Damn!"
Then, the squad leader heard the communication from the tower: "Squad 7, more than 30% of the paint area was killed, less than 30% was injured, and no paint survived, report the casualties."
This simulated the effect of high-explosive projectiles.
Several people quickly ran out of the paint bomb range, coughing and checking the situation.
They found that everyone was covered with red powder
In the end, they could only say bitterly: "All members of Class 7 were killed, and no one survived"
And the black spot above their heads had already gone far away, looking for the next target.
