Chapter 352: Chapter 328: This Drone Technology Is a Bit Sci-Fi

No wonder Lu Feng was surprised. Drones were ubiquitous in the real world, and many had very impressive technology. However, when it came to drone technology alone, nothing in reality could compare to this, no matter how advanced.

According to the schematics, a drone built with this technology would have flight speed and agility double that of the best real-world drones, and it could perform all kinds of high-difficulty maneuvers.

What did that mean?

It was a completely dominant, crushing lead.

But what if a weapons system could be added to it?

What if it could carry a mounted, rapid-fire gun with a 100-round magazine?

Many people might not grasp the significance, so here’s an example: the armed drone in *Wolf Warrior 2* was far inferior to this.

Perhaps only the armed drones seen in many Hollywood movies could compare, and even then, they couldn’t carry 100 rounds.

This kind of drone technology was virtually nonexistent in the real world.

If you ever saw something like it online, it was either fake news or just someone getting high on their own fantasies, making things up to fool the gullible.

This was because current drone technology couldn’t even handle the recoil from a single gunshot.

Think about it. The recoil from firing the very first bullet would be enough to make an entire drone lose stability and plummet from the sky.

To make a drone that could remain stable while firing using current technology, you’d have to design bullets with so little power they’d be completely useless, failing to meet even the most basic requirements.

Then there was the issue of a balanced firing system.

A drone’s hovering technology simply didn’t allow for precision targeting.

If you actually mounted a weapon on a real-world drone, the result would be the drone crashing from the recoil the moment it fired, with the bullet landing miles off target.

But now, the drone technology he held not only completely crushed real-world counterparts in terms of all expected drone functionalities...

More importantly, this technology solved all the major problems associated with arming drones in the real world.

’So what did that make the armed drone from *Wolf Warrior 2*? Nothing.’

The scenes in Hollywood movies where two drones suddenly appear and wipe out a squad with a hail of gunfire could now be replicated in reality.

If they were ambitious, they could train some highly skilled operators and deploy these drones in organized squadrons.

If they were even more ambitious and had enough drones, they could have them all controlled by a single artificial intelligence.

’For an idea of what that would look like, just think of the scenes from *Spider-Man: Far From Home*.’

At this thought, Lu Feng’s eyes grew brighter. He immediately asked Cheng Sisi, "Sisi, has the R&D department backed up this data yet?"

Cheng Sisi replied at once, "Yes, Boss. It’s already been backed up."

"Good." Lu Feng nodded and gave an order. "Report this to Lin Jiao. If possible, have her set up a production line for these drones. They’ll be useful for our base in the future."

"Yes, Boss." Cheng Sisi nodded and immediately went to find Lin Jiao.

Lu Feng looked at the schematics in his hand, pulled out a computer to make another backup, and then chose to use the item. Instantly,

the data dissolved into motes of starlight that vanished, drilling into his mind. A torrent of complex information flooded his brain—the complete knowledge of the drone technology.

This drone technology could be used not only in the game world, but in the real world as well.

In an instant, he had completely digested and understood the drone technology, knowing it inside and out.

Then, with a thought, he exited the game and made a call, summoning Baguda.

Baguda quickly arrived at Wind Manor and reported to Lu Feng, "His Excellency the Governor, the production lines for the nutrient factory and the medicinal wine factory are both set up. The materials have arrived, and production is about to begin."

Lu Feng nodded, then said to Baguda, "Baguda, I didn’t call you here for those two things. I have something else in mind. Are the old weapon production lines from Dalat Town still around?"

Back in the Dalat Town days, families like Feisen controlled the production lines they used to sell weapons.

Although these production lines were old, some even being cast-offs from major powers, the weapons they produced were still extremely useful for the Xuanfeng Alliance, the surrounding smaller nations, and even the various underworld forces.

Baguda immediately replied, "Those weapon production lines were all consolidated and combined with our own original lines to form a dedicated weapons department."

"Take me there," Lu Feng ordered directly.

’Perhaps those production lines could be used to manufacture this armed drone.’

Baguda didn’t waste a moment. He immediately led the way, taking Lu Feng to a location in the suburbs.

High walls had long since been erected there, with large signs posted all around warning people to keep out.

Anyone who dared to disobey would certainly be made to pay the price by the guards patrolling with live ammunition.

Baguda’s car was stopped at the main gate. They were allowed to pass only after he presented his credentials.

When Lu Feng stepped out of the car, the guards who came over to inspect the vehicle saw him and hurriedly gave him a respectful military salute.

They all naturally recognized him as the Governor.

After all, while the outside world was clueless about the Governor, these soldiers had all undergone training. They had seen videos of him and knew that he was the one responsible for them now having a comprehensive benefits package, pensions, various other perks, and salaries that were several times higher than before.

Therefore, the entire army of the Xuanfeng Alliance was extremely loyal to the Alliance, and they were absolutely loyal to their Governor.

Lu Feng scanned the weapons department. It covered a vast area and was filled with various heavily-guarded workshops capable of producing all kinds of conventional weapons.

The Xuanfeng Alliance’s military was supplied with weapons from this very place.

Soon, the head of the weapons department arrived. Seeing Lu Feng, he saluted respectfully. "Kuikui Da, reporting to His Excellency the Governor. Welcome to your inspection, sir."

Lu Feng nodded, then took out the USB drive containing the armed drone schematics he had prepared and handed it to Kuikuida. "See if we can manufacture this."

Kuikui Da took the USB drive and immediately called over the department’s technical staff. They brought a dedicated computer, plugged in the drive, and began examining the files.

After just a moment, the technicians were astonished.

"Governor, Vice Governor, Director... this drone technology is incredible!"

"It’s on a whole other level compared to anything that exists today. To think you can mount and fire a weapon from it!"

"With these, as long as the enemy doesn’t deploy heavy-duty weaponry, we could absolutely control the battlefield."

"I can’t speak for nations with heavy armaments like Myanmar, India, or Ba Country, but against anyone else... if we have enough of these, we could easily crush them!"

...

Clearly, these technicians knew what they were talking about.

This pleased Lu Feng. He asked, "Can the Xuanfeng Alliance produce this drone right now?"

One of the researchers immediately replied, "His Excellency the Governor, we have a production line that can manufacture the weapon components and create molds for some of the parts. As for the drone chassis, we can purchase advanced drones from other countries and then modify them."

"Do it," Lu Feng ordered at once. "Work with Baguda on this. Purchase the drones for modification as soon as possible and get these things into production."

Baguda also nodded. "Just tell me what you need."

While the Xuanfeng Alliance was discussing drone technology, several departments within Boya had already sprung into action.

Dealing with the Xuanfeng Alliance wasn’t something that could be done with just words; it required a great deal of preparation.

Yasna once again convened a meeting with several of Boya’s top leaders.

The moment the meeting began, he asked, "What’s the status of our troop assembly? How are the pre-war preparations progressing? Have we selected an entry point into the Xuanfeng Alliance?"

The officials in the meeting room began to report one after another.

One of them stood up, activated the multimedia display, and brought up a map of the Xuanfeng Alliance, finally pointing to one of its border cities.
