Rebirth 09: Synthetic Male God

Chapter 390 No One Survives
Sitting on the "Warrior" were Zhou Rui, the driver, Wang Tao, and two weapons evaluation experts from the final assembly.

During the turbulence, Zhou Ruiyou was doing something with his laptop.

Wang Tao tightened the armrest and said, "Mr. Zhou, will the drone be damaged by such a bumpy ride?"

Zhou Rui didn't look up and said directly: "There is nothing we can do if it breaks. The purpose is to collect real data."

For the military part, special mobile combat platforms must be designed, and this situation will improve in the future.

At this time, a weapons assessment expert said: "At present, in the field of unmanned combat, only the United States has some development, but they are all large fixed-wing drones. Rotary-wing drones like yours are still too fragile.

Zhou Rui didn't even raise his head and said, "Well, everything you said is right."

It's not that he looks down on anyone, no one really understands this thing.

And it’s not impossible to build a large fixed-wing aircraft, and you have to eat it in one bite.

The two vehicles arrived at the designated area, northwest of the test site, about 7 kilometers away from the "red square" of the exercise.

This is also a reasonable distance obtained by combining the endurance capabilities of the three drones.

On the endless Gobi desert, there are only grass and gravel. Occasionally, the wind blows, and the withered grass on the ground rolls unwillingly.

Many people got off both vehicles and moved boxes of fully charged batteries to the open space.

This was not an easy job. The thing was so heavy that it took three grown men to lift it. Even a well-trained soldier found it difficult.

Zhou Rui silently recorded the development of the "automatic power swapping unit" in his schedule.

After unplugging the latches, the container unfolded in all directions, revealing the three-layer frame structure inside, with drones lying quietly inside.

They are densely packed and look like they have a unique sense of solemnity.

After a series of debugging, Zhou Rui's laptop was connected to the communication tower installed on the "Warrior", and then connected to all the drone communication modules.

All 50 drones have been loaded with command programs specially written by him.

But just like before, he could only put forward demands and guidance, but could not judge how the "mechanical intelligence" would handle it.

Zhou Rui took out the walkie-talkie and said: "Blue team is ready, application drill begins."

Yes, they are Blue in this drill.

On the tower a few kilometers away, Yang Rubin and some weapons assessment experts were setting up telescopes to observe the overall situation.

They have a better view and can see both sides.

Yang Rubin also received the same message from Hong Fang, and replied after a moment: "Permission to start, Zhou Rui, pay attention to safety."

Zhou Rui put down the walkie-talkie and got into the "Warrior" car according to his old habit.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Rui said: "Everyone, stay away from the combat platform."

Then enter the command and press the Enter key.

At first, it was quiet.

Immediately afterwards, a continuous sound of propellers occupied the entire auditory frequency band of this space.

The 10 ZW-01s flew forward from the frame one after another, and then accelerated "swish, swish, swish", and the speed soared to 70 kilometers per hour in two seconds, heading towards the desolate Gobi.

Just like the "shuttles" in the movie, they formed a long string and flew away in a slight arc.

This formation was specially written by Zhou Rui. It is specially used for long-distance movement in clusters to reduce air resistance for the rear aircraft. It seems that the "mechanical intelligence" has been learned very well.

Wang Tao secretly said, "How handsome!"
The two weapons evaluation experts narrowed their eyes.
In order to see more clearly, Zhou Rui simply stood up. The strong wind, not sure whether it was because of the propeller, was particularly restless, pressing Zhou Rui's clothes tightly on his body, and his hair fell back.

Next, don't worry about it.

Zhou Rui suddenly thought, does this count as "one man forming an army"?
Let me see how mechanical intelligence will act!
------

This is the largest ad hoc network test so far, with 50 mechanical units.

Invisible communications, and data that do not need to be translated to humans, are constantly interacting in ad hoc networks.

"They" are searching for targets.

It is seven kilometers and takes about 12 minutes to go back and forth, but the armored companies are not concentrated in one place.

Soon, these nimble little guys found their first target.There were about seven people, a machine gun squad ambushing in the dry ditch.

In the self-organized network, there seemed to be silent communication. When a long string of drones passed by, two of them were automatically separated from the tail end and hovered 300 meters above the machine gun squad.

The soldiers below vaguely heard the sound of propellers above their heads and raised their heads blankly.

"Holy shit! What is this? Model airplane? Toy?"

The squad leader was a little unsure, but he quickly gritted his teeth and said, "Hit him down!"

Immediately, a soldier raised his gun and shot into the sky. However, the drone was very flexible and did not hover in place, but kept circling.

Something as big as a palm, with a speed of nearly 50km/h and an altitude of 300 meters.

Bullets have no chance of hitting.

Just when they were trying to cooperate with each other and raise their machine guns to fire, the two drones drew a beautiful arc and disappeared again.

"Report to the company commander immediately!"

On the other side, behind a concrete bunker, a Type 99 main battle tank was hidden behind the wall. Only the huge gun barrel protruded from the window, and it was covered with camouflage mesh.

Although there are only a few walls left behind the tanks, they still provide a lot of bunkers. The infantry of the tank platoon are receiving information from the headquarters.

"The enemy has a small air reconnaissance? What is a small aerial reconnaissance? We are practicing against the air force? Are you kidding me?!"

As they were talking, they also heard the sound of propellers above their heads.

Looking up at the non-existent ceiling, they could see directly into the sky, where there were several small dots hovering.

so close.
Ten small drones, at extremely fast speeds, discovered a large number of targets, including tanks hidden behind broken walls and infantry hiding in dry ditches in the ruins.

Preliminary investigation, completed.

A few kilometers away from Zhou Rui's location, "they" made new moves.

Since there is no need to return and the situation will be reported to "humans", the behavior of "machine intelligence" is seamless. Almost as each target is discovered, ZW-02 medium-sized drones take off from the combat platform behind the truck.

Soon, the first machine gun squad discovered met their demise.

In the dry ditch, several soldiers kept looking around.

The weird "aircraft" just now made their nerves tense.

Soon, a small dot appeared on the horizon again, and only 5 minutes had passed since they were discovered.

They didn't even have time to wait for the next order from the headquarters.

"Shoot! Shoot!"

The powerless bullets were all fired, and the black spot on the horizon was getting closer and faster.

Even the route is not straight, but proceeds in an S-shape.

When the black dot passed over the heads of several people, a round sphere was thrown down.

"Lie down!"

"Bang" sound.

No explosions, no rubble.

Red smoke was flying all over the sky. This was the effect caused by the explosion of special paint bombs. Towers several kilometers away could clearly see it.

"Ahem! Grass!"

Immediately afterwards, the squad leader heard the communication from the tower: "Squad 30, more than 30% of the paint area was killed, less than [-]% was injured, and no paint survived, report the casualties."

This simulates the effect of high-explosive projectiles.

Several people quickly ran out of the paint bomb range, coughing and checking the situation.

It turned out that everyone was covered in red powder
In the end, I could only say bitterly: "Squad [-]. All members were killed, and no one survived."

The black spot above the head has already gone away, looking for the next target.
