What the hell is a private enterprise?

Chapter 437 The Premature Drone (May 5, 5800 Monthly Tickets)

The outside world is reporting extensively on Tang Wen's attack, and he can only stay in Goose City for the time being and not go out.

Outside the villa, there were also some conspicuous SUVs, most of which were arranged by Gao Yuliang.

This even reminded him of the "200-kilogram explosives kidnapping case" a while ago, where there was no big publicity after the arrest in order to reduce the impact.

Now, Gao Yuliang has brought up the issue of public security again and plans to find time to execute the perpetrators to deter others from committing crimes.

……

Tang Wen realized that before he could even exert his strength, a large group of people around him rushed forward in a frenzy.

Of course, Zhao Hande's personal visit to appease him was also to prevent Southeast Asia from intervening.
It is known that the South Seas possess dozens of battleships, countless submarines, at least two nuclear submarines, several nuclear missiles, and even have close ties with the Second Fleet, which is competing with the Empire.

If a key agent or even a high-ranking member of such an organization is in danger, how much of a commotion would their revenge cause?

It's unrealistic to forcibly stop the other party; the only option is to find out the truth as soon as possible, punish the culprit, and quell their anger with a satisfactory explanation.

Although the country was somewhat misled into buying two battleships, it is still hoping to develop the Los Angeles-class nuclear submarine in the second half of the year and buy a supercarrier next year.

The Lu (Lu) Army still has CH-47s and Black Hawks to rely on. If the Air Force weren't short of money and had a complex system, it might even have a chance to acquire F-14s!
Within 24 hours, Yan Jian brought two people to his door.

He first checked Tang Wen's condition and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he hadn't suffered any psychological trauma from the fright.

After all, last year Cheung Tze-keung kidnapped Li Ka-shing's eldest son. Although he was eventually released, it caused Li Ka-shing a severe mental shock that left him disabled.

However, Tang Wen remained calm and seemed not to care.

After all, for a commander who personally experiences fleet battles and first-person kamikaze attacks:

"It's just a little bit of wind and frost."

Tang Wen casually tossed his not-so-long hair, making Yan Jian laugh and feel much more at ease. He then pushed forward the two dark-skinned, fit young men behind him.
"The two Marine Corps reconnaissance soldiers, Li Fugui and Ma Daqiang, are both top performers who have won awards in the Southeast Military Competition. After retiring, one of them worked as a security guard and the other repaired cars. Their character is impeccable. Why don't you find them a good job?"
"Like what happened yesterday, if you send them to scout out the area before you go anywhere, they'll know what to do, and there will be absolutely no risk."

Tang Wen did not refuse; at least on the surface, he did need skilled bodyguards.

Moreover, today's reconnaissance soldiers are practically the special forces of the future, and they are very effective at conducting danger investigations and providing protection in emergency situations.

He doesn't want to use his special abilities publicly unless absolutely necessary.

They'll be given a technical school instructor position, and then sidelined when they're no longer needed.

"Alright, I'll have to rely on my two brothers more from now on."

Seeing that Tang Wen agreed, Yan Jian extended his hand to Tang Wen:

"Bring it here."

"What to bring?"

"Don't pretend. Where's the M1911? I'll take it back, have it numbered, registered, and issued certificates. I'll also issue one to each of them."

To Li Fugui and Ma Daqiang's astonishment, the ship girl ran upstairs and brought down a small briefcase, which, when opened, revealed a silvery-white reflective interior.

After Yan Jian received the briefcase, he asked another question:

"What about those pheasant necks and Bofors?" Tang Wen: "Weren't those just registered as tourist attraction props? Every warship is a warship teaching museum."

Li and Ma: "..."

Before they arrived, Yan Jian said that this employer was unusual, and now they have a more direct understanding of it.

After Yan Jian left, Tang Wen immediately promised the two bodyguards a generous package including eight types of insurance and three types of benefits (although these didn't exist yet), and used all the tricks the former general manager had used to deceive him before. Only then did he send someone to arrange accommodations and change their clothes.

Judging by this momentum, he'll probably get a good result soon.

After clashing with the Imperial Navy several times, Tang Wen understood the meaning of "a single punch can break through defenses." Now, navies all over the world attach great importance to anti-submarine warfare and ultra-low-altitude operations, and they are even hesitant to operate alone in the open ocean.

If the attack does not have a strong outcome, Gagek may never have peace in the future.

However, it would be a bit troublesome to go out and about again in a short period of time, but it's a good opportunity to stay at home and think about other things:
The empire has already stepped into the Amazon rainforest.

Last time, a mysterious "brother of justice" sent some information, but refused to reveal his own information.

Tang Wen had no intention of contacting this organization of unknown origin for two reasons:
-
First, there's the possibility of IAA fishing. At this point, IAA, after decades of battling with KBG, is still at its peak even after being weakened for a few years. Who knows who isn't IAA?
-
Then there were those intelligence reports he couldn't verify: monitoring the Marine elites without being exposed in the rainforest? His crew consisted of ship crew members, not all of them being 007 agents, and they could still die from a snake bite.

However, intelligence has always been a huge limitation for him, since reality is not like a game where there is only a map-sized area, making it easy to obtain global information.

The Empire has keyhole satellites to observe the overall situation and U2 to conduct centimeter-level reconnaissance. What does it have?
He can launch a plane to search, but to do it silently... he'd need a big leash.

After this thought flashed through his mind, he suddenly felt something was amiss and began to ponder:
The key to the success of future drones lies in batteries, electronic control, and long-range low-latency communication technologies.

If you don't have a large-capacity battery, you can use an internal combustion engine. As for communication technology... you don't have 5G, but you don't need it for control anyway! How about zero-latency quantum control?
If there's no electronic control, then don't use electronic control.

If the control system of a quadcopter drone were modified to be operated by a manned machine, although few superhumans could actually do it, it wouldn't be a problem for the versatile shipyard, and it wouldn't even require a real person.

To put it simply, you could make it into an unmanned helicopter model, but for a lost empire with such advanced technology, that would be a bit low-class. It needs some futuristic elements.

He opened CAD and started drawing, and soon a sketch of a drone began to appear:
Hexacopter:

Power: One 30-horsepower gasoline engine, which outputs power to six propellers through the output shaft;
Empty weight: 68 kg;

Full load weight: 170 kg;

Maximum speed: 110 km/h
Maximum range (fuel load only): 2 hours

A six-axis rotorcraft resembling a futuristic agricultural drone has appeared on the drawing board, with propellers on six output shafts connected to control sticks inside the fuselage via cables.

The joystick was then connected to the small black box previously used for the unmanned version of the mosquito fly, and thus the 1997 version of the six-axis rotary drone was officially launched.

If you just attach a film camera to it properly, it'll be a qualified treetop scout.

[Research and Development: 150 Experience]

The extremely low experience cost is almost negligible; replacing mosquito gnats with them enables the surveillance of the Marun squad in the rainforest.

Can it be made even smaller and quieter?

The efficiency ratio of the engine developed by the shipyard is certainly not the optimal solution, but it does not require much experience to find the best micro engine of this era and copy it.
