Chapter 57: Lab level upgrade, another good thing to copy! This is what you should use to fry squid!

The group came to the back of the factory, which was a barren mountain area. It was the site previously used by Factory 732 to test the performance of various equipment.

In the distance were various targets and obstacles, and even many potholes on the ground, all of which were caused by artillery shells produced by military factories.

Stand at the test shooting position.

"General Alz, let me show you how the power of drones can be exerted."

Li Yunshan held a drone and handed it to a young man in his early twenties next to him, saying, "Zhang Ming, you have to perform well for me."

"If you mess up, you'll lose all your vacation time this month. You have to stay in the factory and train to fly drones."

This person was an operator specially selected from the team of college students after the factory started manufacturing small drones. He was responsible for testing whether the performance of the drones met the standards.

Now he has been training for more than a week, and he has even blown up several drones. If he can't even do such a simple thing, he will have to continue practicing during his rest time.

"What if I perform well?"

"I'll give you a week-long vacation so you can have a good rest." Li Yunshan waved his hand.

"Then I'll wait for my vacation." Zhang Ming smiled confidently.

He took the drone and walked to a wooden box next to the table and squatted down.

Ahmed Hassan watched what was happening in front of him: "Academician Zheng, what are you doing? Is this how you test a drone?"

Mohammed Alz next to him also had a puzzled look on his face. He didn't quite understand what kind of power the drone could be tested here?
All I saw was Zhang Ming opening the wooden box and taking out a rocket warhead from it. The only difference was that it didn't have a barrel, only a bare warhead with a few tail fins installed.

"Is this the Russian RPG-7 rocket?" Mohammed Alz recognized what the weapon was at a glance.

After all, whether in Persia or the Middle East, everyone has a set of this thing, so they are naturally very familiar with it.

Before his question was answered, Zhang Ming installed the warhead firmly under the drone, and then the drone equipped with the RPG warhead took off instantly under control.

"Is this thing the weapon of this drone?" The general twitched his lips.

Under the gaze of everyone, an aerial picture appeared on the slightly large laptop screen in Zhang Ming's hand, with a cross drawn in the middle.

The speed displayed in the upper right corner reaches 46KM/H, and it is flying quickly towards the distance.

"This can't be..." As a commander who has fought for many years, how could Muhammad Alz not know what this is going to do?
Long-range small drone plus RGP rocket warhead? How did Daxia come up with such a crazy idea!

as predicted.

In just a few minutes of flying, the drone crossed the entire three-kilometer-long weapons test site and arrived at the target location.

A large number of dummies have already been placed at this location, there are also many shelters and obstacles on the ground, and it is located at a commanding height, overlooking the area.

If a small force were to engage in battle here, it would cost a huge price to win.

As a result, everyone watched Zhang Ming aim the crosshairs on the screen at the center of the dummy and then press the button.

In an instant, the rocket mounted under the small drone fell rapidly!
With a bang.

The dummies within a radius of several meters were destroyed one after another by the bombing. After the drone completed its mission, it returned automatically without even any control.

"Hey, is this how to use it?"

Mohammed Alz and Ambassador Hassan looked at each other and gasped at the same time.

After scouting the enemy situation several kilometers away, they would release the bombs hung on them, and then carry out sniping attacks from a distance of several thousand meters.

This thing is even more effective than long-range artillery support because almost every strike is a precise one.

"Actually, there is no need to use this kind of RPG shells. Others will do."

Zheng Lixing added: "Grenade, proximity-fuze missiles, and even howitzer ammunition can be easily modified and installed on drones for use."

Even the Military Industry Commission is already preparing to develop a small guided bomb based on this, which may weigh only two or three kilograms. It can be carried by a drone and accurately guided to hit the target, without even having to be thrown.

Seeing the shocked expressions on their faces, Li Yunshan knew that this was going to be a good thing: "This time, apart from the 1,000 experimental aircraft, you don't need anything else?"

"If you think this drone is not enough, our military factory has another one. That one is for search and reconnaissance. It has a maximum speed of 80-100 km, produces less wind noise, and is much quieter, making it less likely to be detected."

"But its disadvantage is that its load-bearing capacity is much lower, only about less than one kilogram."

The modification of this reconnaissance drone is not difficult. It is nothing more than increasing the motor power and reducing the material quality in exchange for an increase in speed and noise.

"A small reconnaissance drone? 80-100KM per hour?" General Alz's eyes lit up.

The first thing that came to his mind was not to conduct reconnaissance, but that although this type of drone had a poor carrying capacity, it could be used as a suicide bomb.

It doesn't even take a kilogram, even just a few hundred grams of explosives are enough to make a person die on the spot. At a speed of one hundred kilometers per hour, ordinary people on the battlefield cannot react at all.

The more crucial point is that the prices of the two types of drones are very cheap. It is not a big deal if one of them costs hundreds or thousands of dollars and is shot down. Where can you find such good weapons and equipment?
"First, give us 5,000, no, 50,000 small drones."

Mohammed Alz's eyes were sharp: "How much money do you need? I'll pay the extra money!"

He couldn't even imagine how useful this drone would be for blowing up squids. It would be like flying into the sky in one go!
Powerful degreasing, you can trust it!

Eagle sauce, Bay Area.

Lu Ze and Lucy took a quick tour of the Burke-class destroyer and got off the ship in less than half an hour.

It was not because of anything else, but because there were too many people and it was too crowded, and he had to protect Lucy beside him the whole time. He was exhausted and had no time to see the USS Milius missile destroyer at all.

"Lucy, let's go back, otherwise it will be too late to get back to the lab." Lu Ze looked at the sky and saw that it should be around four or five in the afternoon. It would take at least an hour to drive from the port in the San Francisco Bay Area back to their small town of Livermore.

"How about we have dinner here and then go back."

Lucy touched her stomach: "I'm hungry."

If we drive back, we probably won't be able to have dinner until eight o'clock in the evening.

She felt a little hungry after digesting the two ice creams, two bags of popcorn and a bag of nuts she had just eaten.

As I was pushed downwards by the surging crowd.

Lucy was staring at something in the distance, her eyes fixed on it so fixedly that she couldn't even walk.

"Lu Ze, it's a panda!! Panda!?" She pointed at the black and white animal in front of her with great surprise.

"Panda? Can there be a panda here?" Lu Ze quickly glanced over there.

This is Eagle Sauce. How many giant pandas have been given out by Daxia in total? How could they appear in the crowd?

These animals generate tens of millions of US dollars in output value for zoos every year. Which zoo in the world doesn't hold them in the palm of their hands?

result.

"That's not a panda. It's clearly a bear-lion dog." Lu Ze complained.

What he saw was a creature that looked as furry as a panda, but with a fluffy nose that had canine characteristics. It was clearly a bear-lion dog.

Its owner is really crazy. He dyed the dog into this color just to attract attention. How miserable must it be?

"Shall we go take a look?"

Lucy took Lu Ze's hand and squeezed into the crowd: "It seems that taking a photo only costs twenty dollars. I want to take ten photos!"

She didn't hear the explanation just now. She could only say that as the most "politically" correct animal on earth, the panda's appeal was so terrifying.

As long as it looks like a panda, it doesn't matter what it is.

A zebra can be a panda, a crocodile can also be a panda, and in foreign countries, if it is black and white, then you are a panda!

Seeing Lucy waiting in line over there, Lu Ze was about to follow her.

Suddenly.

The phone in my pocket rang, and a slightly unfamiliar number appeared on the screen.

"The head of LLNL's human resources department?" Lu Ze was a little suspicious: "Why does he want to see me?"

The HR manager's number was the one he was asked to save when he first came to the LLNL laboratory, but it was obvious that the other party had never called him once.

As an intern graduate student, I am a nobody and there is no possibility of me being fired because I don’t get much salary subsidy every month.

The phone was connected before he could ask.

"Lu, congratulations, you have now been successfully promoted to a D-level staff member of the LLNL laboratory."

The HR director on the other side spoke continuously, leaving him no room to interrupt: "Of course, you can choose to study with Professor Hassan, or you can choose another project team."

"I wish you a happy life and study in the LLNL laboratory."

"Okay, I see."

Lu Ze replied, and then he heard the phone being hung up.

'I was promoted to D-level staff?'

This was obviously a good thing, but Lu Ze didn't understand why the laboratory's top management made this decision.

He hasn't done anything recently, so how did he suddenly attract their attention?
"Could it be the invitation from the last NIF project?" Lu Ze quickly recalled that incident.

Sure enough, the last time Damon Johnson invited him for no reason, it was mainly for the laboratory to test his intentions.

If Lu Ze chooses to join the NIF project team without hesitation, he will most likely be suspected of having bad intentions by the laboratory's top management.

After all, the main purpose of sending him here from DUKE University was to subtly transform him into a "yellow skin, white heart" banana man. But he has been fishing in troubled waters. It is hard not to start doubting what the purpose is?
Do you plan to learn the core technology and then bring it back to Daxia?

There are many cases of international students doing this kind of thing like the one in Daxia decades ago, and the LLNL laboratory has to be on guard.

But on the contrary, Lu Ze flatly rejected the invitation to the most core 'NIF' project in the entire laboratory for whatever reason, so his possibility in this regard was basically denied.

Even from the perspective of the lab's top management, judging from Lu Ze's daily behavior and attitude, this might be because he was hit by the cold reception here, which led to his self-degradation, right?

Therefore, he was quickly assigned a D-level staff qualification, giving him a glimmer of hope for advancement.

"So, is this why I was given D-level clearance?" Lu Ze said with a mocking look on his face.

After thinking it over, he felt that this might not be a bad thing.

D-level clearance is much better than before. As for what was his previous clearance? No clearance at all, just an external temporary employee card!
'What should I copy next?'

'There are quite a few high-level technological items that D-level clearance can access.'

Although most core areas still require B-level or above permissions, he can still enter many places, including non-core confidential areas of the maintenance center, and he no longer needs Lucy to take him in.

The number of copies will be refreshed tomorrow. What is the best thing to choose?
