Chapter 105: Small-Scale Thor Battery

In front of the monitors.

The man with the crew cut continued:

"The mission for this exercise is to rescue the hostage. The drones have already killed all the kidnappers in the room where the hostage is located, but the mission is not yet complete."

"Because not all the kidnappers have been killed, it is impossible for the hostage to escape safely."

"At the same time, for the kidnappers' side, they have not lost yet, because as long as they can 'kill' the hostage, it is a draw for both sides."

"Therefore, the roles of attacker and defender will now be swapped."

"The kidnappers will use various weapons and equipment on hand, trying every possible way to 'kill' the hostage."

"And the drone team needs to protect the hostage while killing as many kidnappers as possible."

While the man with the crew cut was explaining.

On the surveillance footage, one could clearly see the kidnappers scattered in various places surging toward the location of the hostage.

One of them hid behind a corner, pulled the safety pin of a grenade, counted silently for two seconds, and then suddenly threw it out from behind the corner.

However.

The drone quickly identified the crisis, precisely shot down the grenade, and deliberately maintained a certain distance to prevent being destroyed by the explosion.

After detecting that the grenade had exploded, the drone continued to fly forward rapidly along a strange and erratic path.

"Bang!"

A bullet was suddenly fired.

The kidnapper behind the corner was instantly killed, slumped helplessly to the ground, and began to play the role of a corpse.

Of the three drones responsible for sweeping, two were shuttling back and forth in the fourth-floor corridor, while the third drone flew outside the building to hover.

Through gaps like windows and stairwells, as long as a kidnapper's figure was scanned passing by, it was a precise shot.

The scanning was super fast, the shooting was precise, and these three drones at this moment seemed to have transformed into gods of death, slaughtering crazily inside and outside the building.

The remaining kidnappers could not get close at all, and did not even dare to show their faces.

"Can't get close."

"Their marksmanship is too accurate."

"Dong Ge, what should we do? Shall we turn on the Signal Jammer?"

"Good, this is our only hope. Three seconds later, I will turn on the Signal Jammer, and everyone will launch a charge together then."

"One!"

"Two!"

"Three!"

As the words fell.

Everyone's walkie-talkies emitted a buzzing sound of electrical interference, and then went quiet.

What they held was a full-frequency Signal Jammer, which not only blocked the drones' ability to send and receive signals, but also blocked everyone's walkie-talkies, as well as all the surveillance cameras in the building.

In front of the monitors.

Looking at the static-filled surveillance screen, the man with the crew cut explained calmly:

"The Signal Jammer was prepared specifically for the kidnappers, just to test whether the drones can successfully complete the established combat mission under the condition of losing control from the crew; this is also the most important value of the intelligent flight system."

Lu Pu, the director of the Equipment Department, also explained:

"In many cases, in relatively harsh environments, if there is no intelligent flight system and one relies entirely on manual control, any slight signal interference will cause the drone's movements to lag, thereby giving the enemy a chance to destroy it."

"At the same time, a powerful intelligent flight system can greatly increase the drone's combat radius and greatly improve combat efficiency."

"Therefore, the emergence of the Xiaotian Intelligent Flight System has increased the practicality of military drones by a large margin, and the application scenarios have also increased significantly."

While the few were talking.

Inside the building, taking advantage of the signal being blocked, the remaining kidnappers swarmed up to the fourth floor, attempting to offset the disadvantage in shooting speed with their numbers.

However.

Although the drones lost contact with the crew, with the existence of the intelligent flight system and the Intelligent Combat System, they still faithfully executed the predetermined mission, continuously shooting and killing enemies one by one.

Finally, the drones also found the signal jamming device based on the detected interference signal and hit it with a blank round.

The deputy leader of the kidnappers, Dong Ge, had no choice but to turn off the Signal Jammer, indicating that the Signal Jammer had been destroyed.

All signals returned to normal.

The drone team regained control of the drones and re-issued the command to clear the battlefield. Until confirming that all enemies had been annihilated, they put away the controllers, entered the building with guns, and carried the hostage out unharmed.

Five drones automatically followed around the three people, hovering while guarding the surroundings.

"Report, sir, the rescue mission is complete!"

The trio saluted in unison and said solemnly.

A smile appeared on the face of the man with the crew cut: "Not bad, the mission was completed beautifully!"

Several bigwigs from the Military also offered some encouragement.

……

After the rescue exercise ended.

Several bigwigs from the Military and Su Xin came to the conference room to exchange ideas, praising the excellence of the Xiaotian Intelligent Flight System and thanking Su Xin for his contribution, while also mentioning the Xiaozhi Driving System in passing.

Subsequently.

Several bigwigs from the Military held a meeting, while Hao Zude took Su Xin to visit the base. Various high-tech equipment that could previously only be seen on television and the internet were now presented one by one before his eyes, making Su Xin quite excited.

"By the way, Student Su, regarding the drones, we actually think there is another shortcoming that isn't quite a shortcoming, and we would like to ask for your help to improve it. For you, it should just be a matter of convenience."

After the tour, Hao Zude took Su Xin to sit down in a conference room and said.

Su Xin nodded: "Please go ahead, Director Hao."

"For our drones, what needs improvement the most right now is the battery life."

"As I introduced to you before, this small drone we just participated in the drill with has a full-charge flight time reaching 30 to 60 minutes, which is theoretically enough to support a combat mission."

"However, the battery this drone carries is, after all, a Liquid Lithium Battery. To achieve such high endurance, the battery takes up a great deal of weight and volume, which affects both its agility and the drone's payload capacity."

"This small drone only has twenty rounds of ammunition in total, and the remaining accessories are mainly various monitoring equipment such as radar."

"Therefore, this drone still has significant limitations in certain situations."

Su Xin nodded slightly and said, "So, Director Hao wants me to produce some Small Thor Battery units specifically for drones?"

Hao Zude smiled, "That's right."

"I have studied the parameters of the Thor Battery; its energy density is 50% higher than the batteries we currently use, and its energy volume density is even double."

"If this small drone could be equipped with a Solid-state Battery, for the same endurance, its weight would be expected to decrease by about two kilograms, and quite a bit of space could be freed up, which could be used to carry more ammunition or other functional accessories."

"Plus..."

"The charge and discharge power of a Solid-state Battery is greater, which can make the drone's power more robust, its flight speed faster, and it can better unleash the performance of the Little Sky Intelligent Assistant, thereby exhibiting stronger agility."

"I dare say that if this drone were switched to a Solid-state Battery, its overall combat capability would be significantly elevated to a new level."

Su Xin nodded solemnly:

"No problem."

"Since Director Hao has this need, I will arrange for people to redesign a Small Thor Battery specifically for drones after I go back."
