Chapter 78: Unmanned bomber, the army also has a new magic weapon! You also call this the Analects?
They had come up with a weapon that was more powerful than artillery? And it was also very suitable for their army?

"Old Li, don't joke with me."

Zhou Haowu shook his head, expressing his disbelief: "When did your 732 Military Factory develop new weapons and equipment? Do you have the ability to do so?"

It's not like he isn't familiar with the 732 Military Factory. It has been the main production base for light and heavy weapons of the Army since the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. It's fine to let them make weapons such as artillery and automatic rifles, but as for developing new equipment?

Who can believe this? You don’t have the ability to know, right?!
Kong Jianmin, who was sitting behind his desk, was interested: "I've heard something before. It seems that your 732 factory also exported a new type of equipment to Persia?"

"I was just about to ask, but you, Old Li, came to me."

The 732 Military Factory is a subsidiary of the General Assembly Department, but this foreign trade arms sale did not even go through their approval and reporting. This behavior has seriously touched upon the bottom line.

If he had not received special instructions, he would have run over to ask Li Yunshan what he wanted to do.

"Oh? There is such a thing." Zhou Haowu's eyes lit up: "Then I have to take a good look to see if this weapon is really that magical."

He was also a little curious about what new things the 732 Military Factory had developed.
"I just happened to bring it here."

Li Yunshan picked up the box in his hand.

The two of them looked over and saw that the box was only about fifty to sixty centimeters long and only more than thirty centimeters wide. It didn't even look like a box for storing weapons and equipment, but more like an ordinary briefcase.

Then, Li Yunshan took out a "small and exquisite" object from inside, with four propellers carrying a square mechanical device.

Look at this thing.

"Old Li, you are not kidding me, are you?" Zhou Haowu looked suspicious: "What kind of new weapon equipment is a remote-controlled aircraft?"

This looks not much different from the remote-controlled helicopter that his grandson loves to play with.

Could it be that this time the foreign trade is going to Persia and they are exported as toys?

"Don't underestimate it. Do you know how many kilometers per hour it goes?" Li Yunshan showed a cunning smile on his face, like a fox.

"How much? Thirty to forty kilometers? That's pretty good." Zhou Haowu has already made a high estimate. After all, a regular toy remote-controlled airplane can only reach a speed of more than ten kilometers per hour. Being able to reach a speed of thirty to forty kilometers per hour is already an amazing achievement.

"Zhou Dapao, do you really think I'm a toy?"

Li Yunshan laughed and scolded directly: "Being a human being should be multiplied by ten. Its flying speed is 230 kilometers per hour."

"Over 200 kilometers per hour? Lao Li, are you kidding me?"

Zhou Haowu was stunned on the spot.

How many kilometers?

A remote-controlled plane flying at 230 kilometers per hour? Was he hallucinating?
"How can such a small thing fly at such a high speed?"

Even Kong Jianmin who was standing next to them stood up unconsciously and came closer to them to take a closer look at what was so magical about this thing.

It's not that he has never seen remote-controlled airplanes that can fly at speeds of several hundred kilometers per hour. Decades ago, Daxia began to hold various professional model aircraft competitions, and those model aircraft could easily fly at speeds of over three hundred or four hundred kilometers per hour.

But the problem is that those remote-controlled aircraft models are equipped with jet engines, solid rocket engines, etc. According to his observation, this remote-controlled aircraft should be flying with four propellers. How can it fly at a speed of 230 kilometers per hour? Is the speed of a helicopter only this high?

"Just increase the propeller speed and motor power," Li Yunshan explained.

Simply put, this is a type of aircraft modified from a small drone.

Whether it is the drive motor or the rotor speed, etc., all have been pushed to an acceptable limit. The side effect is that the cruising range is drastically shortened and the load capacity is also greatly reduced.

More importantly, this drone will no longer have functions such as automated patrol and hovering capabilities. Any operations, including the speed of throttle contraction, up and down, left and right rolling, etc., will be controlled by the operator.

If we need to make a comparison, the previous small drones were intelligent self-driving cars, and this drone is the F1 Formula One racing car.

"Is this the weaponry you're exporting to Persia?" Kong Jianmin frowned and pondered, "Why does it sound like it won't have much effect?"

If it's just about speed, there are many modern weapons that are faster than it, so what use can it be?
It has no battery life and no payload, so it can be used as a toy, but its real military use is quite limited.

Hear this.

"The drone we exported to Persia is another model, and this one is an evolved version based on the original one."

Li Yunshan glanced at the two people's skeptical expressions and said, "Don't underestimate it. If you can see the real-time transmission of a flying machine at a speed of more than 230 kilometers per hour, what will the effect be?"

"Real-time footage? Go on." Zhou Haowu's eyes lit up; this seemed interesting.

"The operator is like sitting in the cockpit of a fighter jet, controlling the aircraft according to the current mission requirements and completing tasks such as sniping, bombing, and breakthrough at a speed of more than 200 kilometers per hour."

Li Yunshan continued to explain.

This is the ultimate modification made by their 732 Military Factory based on that small unmanned reconnaissance aircraft.

When the college student named Zhang Ming was testing, he suddenly had an idea: what would happen if the motor and rotor power were adjusted to the maximum?
As you can imagine, when he pushed all the power to the maximum, the drone took off and flew into the sky at lightning speed, and then he lost the ability to control the drone.

The reason is very simple. The original automatic flight control system cannot support high-sensitivity control at this speed.

After a collective brainstorming process across the factory, a solution was finally reached, which was to convert all controls to manual mode, as the original screen feedback would not have enough time to react under high-speed movement.

So if the camera moves from the screen to the eye, would it be easier to control? So they directly transmit the camera image in real time to a special helmet screen and control it from a first-person perspective.

They call this drone a 'super-fast first-person perspective drone'.

Of course, if Lu Ze heard this, he would probably be amazed. He didn't expect that the flying machine, which only emerged 15 years later, was actually produced by the 732 Military Factory in advance.

"No matter how powerful artillery or heavy artillery is, you can't monitor the shells you fire at any time."

Li Yunshan introduced solemnly: "But with this kind of ultra-high-speed drone, you can hit a high-speed moving target at any time and kill it with one shot."

At the same time, this type of cross-country aircraft is more advantageous in urban, street fighting and other battles between buildings. It is not like the slow-moving small drones that drop deadly bombs silently.

It is more like an assassin who can kill with one strike. It can find its target and make a suicidal precise sniper kill. It only needs to launch one attack and no longer needs to consider any issues of returning home.

"What about the price?" Zhou Haowu was a little tempted.

Although fifth-generation fighter jets are very attractive, they are not very suitable for the army's combat style.

However, this type of ultra-high-speed drone is different. It can greatly enhance the combat capability of the army and can even be widely equipped in every class.

"The whole set costs about 1,000 RMB, but this is mainly because the helmet is more expensive. The drone only costs more than 300 RMB."

As soon as Li Yunshan finished speaking, Zhou Haowu shouted, "Hurry up and expand the production of this thing. Our army needs this kind of new weapon equipment."

A drone that costs only a few hundred dollars can be used in a suicide attack to replace a tank. If it can destroy any target with the slightest military value, it can be said to be a huge profit.

"Old Kong, you just heard it. It doesn't matter if we don't have the fifth-generation carrier-based aircraft and bombers."

"It's impossible that our army won't be given priority for this kind of thing, right?" Zhou Haowu looked at Kong Jianmin, his face full of excitement.

Is it easy for them to find something good in the army? If this is not given priority, it would be unfair!
Before Kong Jianmin could reply, Li Yunshan waved his hand and said, "Old Zhou, why are you in such a hurry? Didn't you just say that the army also needs bombers?"

"Our 732 Military Factory is preparing to develop a large unmanned bomber with a payload of more than one ton and a range of more than kilometers."

This was also inspired by that small drone. In the past, the world's research and development ideas for large drones often followed conventional aircraft. The only difference was that they were unmanned, but the cost was still very high.

But now the 732 Military Factory has changed its thinking. It is enough for a drone to be cheap and durable. Even if it is a bomber, it can be a disposable consumable item. As long as it completes the bombing, it can be directly crashed and used as the last weapon.

As long as I am cheap enough, so cheap that it would be a loss for you to use air defense weapons to intercept me, then the war mode will undergo a wonderful change.

"How much? One ton of ammunition, and two thousand kilometers of range?"

Zhou Haowu's eyes turned green, this was just like a pillow falling asleep: "Then you should hurry up and develop it, this thing will be of great use to our army!" Isn't this unmanned bomber much more useful than an armed helicopter?
This is a drone. Its combat radius is two thousand kilometers. There is no pilot on board anyway. The worst that can happen is that it drops the bomb and both of them will perish together.

Our own army finally has a magic weapon. Who will dare to say that their army is all "junk metal" from now on?
"So, am I not here to ask Lao Kong for some research and development funds?" Li Yunshan chuckled.

Hear this.

Kong Jianmin laughed and scolded: "Okay, so you came here to beg for alms?"

He wondered why this guy came to the general assembly department without saying anything, and it turned out that he came to ask for research and development funds.

However, despite this: "I have approved the money. You, the 732 Military Factory, should study this new weapon well."

The imagination space of this unmanned bomber is so wonderful, who can sit idly by?

at the same time.

Middle East, Gaza Strip.

Palestinian resistance groups are becoming more and more proficient in operating small drones, and are destroying more and more targets every day.

Not only were tanks and armored vehicles destroyed by drone bombs, but even several watchtowers on the city walls were destroyed for no reason.

Almost every day, there is better news.

Palestine is no longer being suppressed by Israel. Instead, many squid "sky soldiers" dare not show their heads under the suppression of drones.

Even the advance line towards northern Gaza Province was forced to retreat two or three kilometers, which made the entire Gaza fall into long-lost joy.

Inside the resistance organization's underground base headquarters.

"Captain, yesterday's attack destroyed a total of five armored vehicles, two Merkava tanks, and took down three of their watchtowers..."

A member with scars on his face silently read out some data: "We eliminated about a hundred enemy troops, and our side lost about 10 people."

"Since this round of fighting, we have destroyed about 20 armored vehicles of various types and 10 tanks of various types."

"Well, they are all Palestinian heroes, saviors of the people of Gaza, and they have eliminated the shame for our Arab world." The leader of the resistance organization, Fasso Alonka, couldn't help but cheer for them at this moment.

When will the Arabs be able to achieve a 1 to 10 casualty ratio against Israel?
In previous Middle East wars or local conflicts, the ones who suffered a 1:10 casualty ratio were often the Arabs.

A popular saying around the world is: Arabs don't know how to fight.

"However, we consumed 200 drones this round due to various reasons," the member said somewhat sadly, "There are only less than 100 drones left that can be used."

This is because they were able to barely retain more than a hundred drones by assembling and replacing various damaged parts.

"We need more small drones. One thousand sorties are far from enough." The leader of the resistance organization, Faso Alonka, looked at all the members.

His face was filled with excitement that could not be concealed: "Hurry up and contact Persia. We need 10,000 or even 100,000 drones. The more drones we have, the more we can drive them out of Gaza completely."

If a thousand drones can achieve such results, then how terrifying would ten thousand or a hundred thousand be?
And this moment.

In Tel Aviv, Israel, the situation was completely different. They heard bad news one after another.

Inside the Defense Military Office.

"What on earth is going on?" the officer in charge was furious. "What are our soldiers doing?"

"The report shows that 20 armored vehicles and 15 tanks were lost yesterday alone? And they were all the latest Mk4 main battle tanks that were destroyed?" Duran Guzman pointed at the numbers and cursed:
"Are these tanks and armored vehicles sitting ducks? Were they smashed by Palestinian fists?"

In just one day, more than 30 tanks and armored vehicles were completely destroyed. And in the Gaza region, where there are not many heavy weapons, they specifically picked the most expensive weapons to destroy them? This is too outrageous.

We don't even know how it was destroyed, we just say it was an aerial attack.

"Could it be that the Arabs in Gaza have missiles?"

Duran Guzman thought of this.

As far as he understands, perhaps only guided missiles can have this kind of precision strike capability.

"General, I don't think that's possible."

A staff member nearby explained carefully: "Under our blockade, it is impossible for such weapons to be brought into Gaza."

The tunnels in Gaza are fine for transporting some daily necessities. At most, it would be very remarkable if they could transport some light weapons or machine guns and other weapons. How is it possible to transport missiles?
"Oh, is that so? You do make sense..."

Duran Guzman nodded. This guess was correct. "Then you should go to the front line now and investigate what happened in Gaza carefully to eliminate this hidden danger."

"Me? Get rid of it?" The clerk pointed at himself dully.

Should I eliminate this hidden danger?
Do you have any misunderstanding about my abilities?
Are you sure he wants me to investigate instead of going directly to the front line to act as a 'Teletubby'?

Duran Guzman narrowed his eyes and said with a half-smile: "Since you know so much, I think you can definitely do this job."

You're just a small clerk, how dare you question my own speculation?
Anyone who questions me could be a spy of Hamas. If he refuses to accept this order, he is definitely a Hamas agent and will be shot on the spot.

"Yes, General." The clerk lowered his head helplessly.

Niang Xipi!
Israel is incompetent, it seems I have to leave!
the next day.

Eagle sauce, it's the early morning of a new day.

The main building of the LLNL laboratory seemed particularly quiet during working hours, with the noisy and headache-inducing calls of periodic cicadas filling my ears.

Lu Ze held a cup of latte with sugar and milk in his hand, thinking: "It seems that if I publish two more SCI Zone II papers, I can be promoted to C-level authority."

He still felt that promotion based on years of work was too slow.

It was not difficult for him to fill a few papers with water, so Lu Ze naturally chose the fastest way.

"It would be best if this paper could mislead the Eagle Sauce's strategy," he thought to himself.

Space-based weapons are good, but this thing has long been proven to be a "bullshit" theory in later generations.

The so-called Rod of God uses a 'tungsten' rod to launch a free fall from a high altitude, with enough kinetic energy to enable it to achieve the terrifying power of a nuclear weapon.

As a result, after actual testing by the Daxia scientific research team, they found that it could only create a small hole three meters deep at most.

If this can fool the Americans into building space-based weapons on a large scale, it would be a great achievement.

Just as he was thinking about this question.

Suddenly, Lucy next to him asked a question: "Lu Ze, isn't your Confucius a god like 'Jesus'? Why is he different from what I imagined?"

Because she is going to travel to Daxia during the summer vacation, she has been reading some Chinese books recently.

"Huh?" Lu Ze looked at her in confusion.

Lucy pointed to a sentence in the Analects: "Why did he say: When a good person fights, he needs to use heavy hands, otherwise he cannot establish his authority?"

“??? You should look at a Chinese dictionary. This is too profound and not suitable for you.” Lu Ze took a closer look and pulled the corner of his mouth.

Do good people have to use heavy hands when they fight?
Confucius wanted to hit someone after hearing this! What kind of Analects is this?

The original text clearly says: A gentleman cannot be respected if he is not serious!
