Chapter 104: The Fast and Accurate Sharpshooter
Monitoring area.
The man with the crew cut explains to everyone:
"Since the drones are equipped with an intelligent flight system, they can automatically control their direction and altitude. The drone team is mainly responsible for tactical command and basically does not need to perform specific maneuvers for the drones."
"Even in special situations, such as the signal being jammed or the drone team being completely wiped out, the drones can still continue to execute certain missions according to pre-set commands."
"For example, them right now."
"The team leader is responsible for analyzing intelligence and issuing commands, while the other two team members can easily control five drones to execute different missions."
On the monitoring screen in front of the group, one can indeed see the operations of the three-person drone team and hear the voices of the three communicating.
Drone No. 1 is probing the distribution of personnel inside the building bit by bit from afar, seemingly trying to find the location of the hostages.
Just then, a sudden change occurred.
The drone team leader's sharp shout came through: "No. 1 has been discovered, provide cover immediately!"
Under his command, the two team members immediately controlled the other four drones to lower their altitude while approaching the direction of the building.
"Drone spotted!"
Inside the building, the kidnappers reported the news of the drones' appearance to their leader via walkie-talkie.
Under the leader's command, all the kidnappers immediately became fully alert, staying on guard while attempting to shoot down the drones outside the building.
But these drones were simply too agile.
They could judge whether there was a threat based on human limb movements and would dodge immediately upon seeing a gun barrel; the kidnappers' bullets simply could not hit any of the drones.
The two sides were deadlocked there for a moment.
In front of the monitors.
The man with the crew cut continued his commentary:
"Although this is a drill simulating a real-life situation, it is after all different from reality. The kidnappers effectively knew in advance that there would definitely be a drone raid today and have been staying alert and on guard. Even though the drones have stealth paint, it is normal for them to be discovered in advance."
"However, with the agility of the drones, at a distance of over twenty meters, there is enough room to dodge, making it basically impossible to be hit head-on by gunfire unless it is continuous sweeping fire from two or more automatic rifles."
Su Xin nodded slightly.
He had considered this when designing the Xiaotian Intelligent Flight System. After all, it is mainly used on military drones, so he strengthened the identification and analysis of human limb movements, as well as the identification of various firearms and equipment.
As long as it sees a person's action of raising a gun, it will immediately identify the danger and prepare to dodge.
If it weren't for the fact that the drones' own agility is not strong enough and their mechanical quality cannot support high-frequency back-and-forth dodging, with the identification efficiency of the Xiaotian Flight System, it might be able to let the drones fly freely through a battlefield of rain and wind of bullets.
At this moment.
The drone team leader issued a few more orders.
"No. 1 has found the hostages, in the third room on the C-side of the fourth floor! There are more than five people."
"No. 2 and No. 3, head to the A-side immediately, prepare to raid! Attract the enemy's attention."
"No. 4 and No. 5, head to the C-side immediately, ready to execute the raid and rescue plan at any time!"
After the four drones were in position.
The team leader immediately ordered:
"No. 2 and No. 3, move!"
One could see that on the front of the building, the two drones that had been hovering nearby suddenly darted forward, rushing ahead in an irregular arc, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived next to two of the windows.
"Enemy attack!"
Accompanied by a sharp shout, a hand holding a gun poked out from the window, but it was immediately hit by a blank round fired by the drone.
The next moment.
Like a nimble bird, the drone flew into the room in a flash, and with another blank round, 'killed' the kidnapper inside.
The speed of both drones was very fast, and coupled with their extreme agility and small size, even well-trained soldiers would find it difficult to hit them for a moment.
The most critical thing is.
The drones use the Fire Control Calculation Program that Su Xin developed back then, with extremely fast aiming speed and shooting reaction.
Almost the instant they faced each other, before the kidnappers in the building could react, they were precisely 'killed' by the drones.
The intrusion of the two drones was like wolves rushing into a flock of sheep, directly switching to kill mode.
In just about three seconds, along the path they flew into the building through the window, they easily 'killed' four armed kidnappers.
Having five companions 'killed' in such a short time made all the remaining kidnappers tense every nerve, and also drew everyone's attention to the direction from which the gunfire came.
In the room where the hostages were held.
Six kidnappers, including the leader, all disengaged the safeties on their automatic rifles, each with a grave expression.
The leader said sternly:
"Watch out for a diversion!"
"Dahu, Xiaogang, you watch outside the building; Sanming, Xiaoniu, you guard outside the room."
"Dashan, you aim your gun at the hostages; if you notice anything wrong, fire immediately!"
According to their drill rules, if a hostage dies, it is considered a draw for both sides.
Therefore, in a situation of absolute last resort, they would certainly prefer to 'kill' the hostages, as that is better than a crushing defeat.
As kidnappers, one must have the ruthlessness of a kidnapper.
After speaking, the kidnapper leader picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted, "Everyone return to the fourth floor, drones have broken into the fourth floor!"
Just then.
Outside the window to the side, two drones suddenly dropped from above, paused for a fleeting moment at the window, and then flew straight into the window.
While flying, the 720-degree rotatable firearms mounted under the two drones automatically began continuous fire.
"Pew, pew, pew!!"
Dashan's gun-wielding arm, which was aimed at the hostages, was the first to be hit, followed immediately by his chest.
Having been hit by two shots, it signified that Dashan was "dead."
The other five people who were "killed" in the same way.
And all of this happened in the short span of a single breath.
The kidnapper leader was still holding the walkie-talkie, and before his voice had even faded, he felt a slight pain in his chest.
He was stunned, and it took a good while for him to realize that he had already been shot and killed.
Subconsciously, he exchanged glances with the other five, and in the end, he could only lie down helplessly and play dead, still exclaiming in his mouth.
"I heard before that the shooting speed of the drones had become much faster, but I didn't expect it to be this fast."
"This is simply a sharpshooter that never misses, and a fast and accurate sharpshooter that aims and fires instantly at that."
"I didn't even see it clearly; I was taken out before I could even raise my gun. How is this even fightable?"
While the six men were sighing with emotion, the two drones that had broken into the room began to act separately.
One of them remained in the room to guard the hostage, and the voice of the drone team leader came from within to soothe them—although the hostage was fake, since it was a simulation of reality, these necessary things still had to be done.
The other one flew out of the room and began to coordinate with the two drones that had previously broken into the building to "kill" the remaining kidnappers together.
In the relatively narrow space inside the building, the flight trajectories of the drones remained extremely erratic, sometimes going up, sometimes down, seemingly not worried at all about crashing into walls or any other debris.
In fact.
Inside such a narrow and relatively complex space, it is the ultimate test of flight control technology.
If there were no intelligent driving program and one relied solely on manual control, let alone flying around everywhere, even just trying to travel along the corridor would have a certain degree of difficulty.
Not to mention having to dodge enemy fire while flying, and even more so, having to "kill" the enemy.
