Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 419 A spectacular drone show!

There's quite a story to tell about this robot dog.

"Originally, seeing its shaky and clumsy appearance, struggling to climb a flight of stairs, I didn't think much of it. I thought it was all talk and no action."

"But it wasn't until yesterday when I actually faced it head-on and really played against it that I realized! This thing, this thing is real CS!"

"Especially when it reaches a certain scale, it becomes a nightmare! You can hit it, but it's made of iron and can't be easily broken! And even if you do break it, according to Brother Lang, it's just a pile of steel, not worth much money, and you still have to bear the risk of being hit by it!"

"But if you don't fight them, they'll slowly tighten their encirclement and completely corner you, leaving you nowhere to run! It'll be a nightmare! Seriously, just thinking about them all advancing towards me in perfect unison makes my skin crawl! The moment I hear a piece of metal hit the ground, I immediately think of them!"

"It's no exaggeration, it's almost driving me crazy, it's putting me on stress! And even this is far from their complete form, far from the peak of those drones! If we really put them on a good platform and connect them to the network as they say, I don't even want to think about what they could transform into, how terrifying they would be!"

Just as I was reflecting on this, Bai Ling chimed in.

"Is that what you said?"

As she spoke, Bai Ling took out her phone and played a video showing hundreds of robot dogs lined up in rows, instantly activated, and then performing various tactical maneuvers in perfect unison.

Hao Pingchuan felt a chill run down his spine as he watched. He touched his scalp, which was covered in goosebumps, and pointed at the screen with one hand, unable to help but exclaim in amazement.

"Yes, yes, that's the taste, that's definitely the taste! Damn, it's terrifying!"

Before Hao Pingchuan could finish his exclamation, Bai Ling swiped her finger and played a video of countless drones, each flashing with colorful lights, taking off in unison.

That's right, the video Bai Ling played was the world record-breaking performance featuring 10,000 drones.

The visually striking scene left Hao Pingchuan and Lao Luo speechless with shock.

With a sigh, Bai Ling offered a timely explanation.

"Through these images, you can probably see it yourself. Yes, this is just an ordinary performance on their end. But even for a performance, they've gone to extreme lengths to deploy tens of thousands of aircraft!"

"If war were to really break out one day, I can't even imagine how many of these things would take off from the sky! And how many fully armed drones carrying explosives would be ready to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy at any moment!"

"Just imagining that scene fills me with suffocating despair! But even so, that's only part of it. Because besides robot dogs and drones, they also have self-destructing spider robots and bomb disposal-specific lizard robots."

“Each one of them, taken individually, is a deadly weapon on the battlefield! So, Lao Hao, I’m starting to understand how you feel. It’s not your fault, really not your fault. The only thing to blame is that we’re too backward, and they’re too advanced, so advanced that they’re almost like different species.”

In fact, I couldn't help but start to have doubts.

"Old Luo, do you guys think it's possible that they captured aliens over there? And that they obtained these technologies from aliens through various forms of torture, which led to their technological explosion? Otherwise, you can't explain how they developed to what they are today in just a few decades!"

This imaginative conjecture immediately won over Hao Pingchuan, who was equally puzzled.

"Definitely! Just like Brother Lang said, they must have burned them with cigarette butts. Otherwise, how could this be possible? How could they have developed so quickly? It's beyond my comprehension!"

The constant echoing left Lao Luo speechless.

But I can't help but imagine a ridiculous scene from later generations, holding a cigarette butt and relentlessly interrogating some strange alien, demanding to know whether to talk or not!
It was so outrageous that Lao Luo had so many things to complain about, but he didn't even know where to begin! He quickly shook his head, trying to banish all these chaotic images from his mind.

Lao Luo said affirmatively.

"If aliens really had technology far surpassing theirs, how could they have caught them? You can't even imagine! So, let's just honestly admit that there is indeed an insurmountable gap between us and them."

It really is.

If there really are aliens, and their technological capabilities far surpass those of later generations, how could you possibly catch them?
They're lucky they didn't take you back to investigate!

Even burning cigarette butts
You're the one who's burning yourself!

The affirmation quickly changed Hao Pingchuan and Bai Ling's minds, making them accept the fact that there was indeed a huge gap between the world of Beijing and later generations.

Moreover, this gap is not only reflected in technology, but also in concepts and cognition.

Turning around, I saw Hao Pingchuan still frowning because of the three consecutive crushing defeats.

Surprisingly, Lao Luo did not criticize Hao Pingchuan, but instead offered him words of comfort.

"Alright, that's enough of this. I've already said it, the fault isn't yours. It's the technological gap and the difference in mindset that ultimately led to this result. Who are you trying to impress with this act?"

"If we really have the time, we should take this opportunity to learn from them. We should first understand the concepts of modern warfare; that's the real priority!"

I truly believe this is a rare opportunity and a historic chance.

This is an opportunity not only for Hao Pingchuan, but also for the entire city of Beijing!
Therefore, we dared not delay for even a moment.

Luo immediately began summarizing the gains and losses of the three exercises with Hao Pingchuan, and discussed with Bai Ling and Director Wang how to quickly break the deadlock and help the soldiers break free from the war mentality cultivated during World War II and accept the concepts of modern warfare more quickly and effectively.

However, this is clearly not something that can be discussed and resolved in a short period of time.

so.
"Let's focus on summarizing the lessons learned from these three exercises and get the materials organized as soon as possible. We can discuss the rest after I report on these two matters tonight."

As they talked, it seemed that Lao Luo was about to stay up all night again.

He had just finished one all-nighter, and now he was already looking forward to another one!
Bai Ling was helpless.

But you can't persuade them otherwise.

Helpless and with no other options, Bai Ling could only tell Lao Luo that they would organize the materials and that he should go and rest so he could give a better report.

Then, a new round of busy work began.
