Chapter 134: Drone Performance
Liu Xuewei's coquettish posture and magnetic voice made Su Xin's bones feel almost soft.
He reached out his right hand, gave a few pats on a certain spot on her, and feigned seriousness:
"I said no talking about work after getting off duty; you broke the rules yourself, this is the punishment you deserve."
Liu Xuewei gave a dainty huff, her eyes shimmering.
Su Xin continued: "I had actually already considered the problem you mentioned, so I have been secretly cooperating with the Military, including the Xiaotian Flight System for drones and the small Solid-state Battery; their original intent was developed for the Military."
"Next, I should have even more cooperation with the Military, so some troubles and crises will be actively resolved for me by the Military."
Liu Xuewei smiled: "That is a good thing."
The two did not talk about work anymore, just cuddled for a while before turning off the lights to sleep.
The next day.
Su Xin rarely slept in, not getting up until around ten in the morning.
Several subsidiaries had already been delegated authority, and the Vision Enhancement Agent had also completed preliminary research and development; next, he only needed to wait for the verification of experimental data, so he had nothing to do for the moment and simply decided to give himself a few days off.
After making a hearty breakfast and eating it leisurely, he slowly headed out.
Two bodyguards were already waiting for him in the car.
Su Xin opened the driver's side door and said to the two: "I want to wander around casually today, so I'll drive myself."
"Understood."
The two did not waste words; after responding, they got out of the car together and sat in the back seat.
After Su Xin sat in the driver's seat, he instructed: "Xiaozhi, I want to wander around casually."
The dashboard and the car's infotainment screen lit up instantly, and two seconds later, Xiaozhi's pleasant voice came through:
"Understood, five random cruise routes have been generated; would you like to select the default route?"
Su Xin glanced at the routes on the car's display screen and said casually: "The second route."
Xiaozhi responded without hesitation: "Understood, please sit tight, the vehicle is about to start."
The next moment, the vehicle started smoothly, pulled out of the parking space, and drove slowly toward the outside of the residential complex.
Su Xin's car was a mid-range model under Goyadi worth over three hundred thousand, which could not be considered a luxury car, and its design was relatively low-key; in a place like Tianjing, it could only be considered unremarkable.
During the mere few minutes of cruising, Su Xin saw three cars of the same model as his own, and all of them had the intelligent driving function turned on.
Besides that, there were quite a few other intelligent driving models; according to Su Xin's estimation, they accounted for about thirty percent of all vehicles.
To reach such a high penetration rate in just about three months could only mean that the people of Long Country were indeed fond enough of the Xiaozhi Driving System.
Besides that, Su Xin also saw in Fu Benjing's report that as the performance data of intelligent driving improved, the Long Country authorities had launched multiple support policies for intelligent driving models.
For example, promoting the popularization and management of charging piles, encouraging home charging through off-peak price reductions, promoting the transformation of the car repair and maintenance industry, pushing the insurance industry to lower premiums for intelligent driving models, and expanding the scale of power plants in various regions to meet the increasingly high demand for electricity, and so on.
The development of an industry often requires the cooperation of multiple industries; otherwise, it is bound to be very difficult.
With the support of the Long Country authorities, plus the full-force production of major car companies, the comprehensive entry of supporting industries, and the strong support of the public, only then could the Thor Battery and the Xiaozhi Driving System be integrated into everyone's lives so quickly.
Although Su Xin was wandering aimlessly along the way, he thought of many things while observing his surroundings.
Not long after.
He arrived at a park in the suburbs, and after getting out of the car, he strolled to a spacious grassy area.
It was currently late spring and early summer, the sun was warm, the breeze was like catkins, and the climate was pleasant; it was the perfect time for an outing.
In the park, quite a few people were taking their children or hanging out with friends; some were flying kites, others were sitting on the ground, chatting while eating various snacks.
Su Xin wore sunglasses, walked to a quiet corner to sit down, and his gaze fell in a certain direction.
Over there, two young men were fiddling with a dense pile of drones on the ground; a rough look showed at least five hundred of them.
Quite a few people nearby were watching curiously.
Not long after.
One of them took out a phone and looked at it, seemingly having received some kind of instruction, nodded to the other person, and then pointed the phone toward the pile of drones and began filming.
At the same time, the other person took out the drone operating equipment and pressed a few buttons.
"Buzz!!"
A swarm-like vibrating sound spread all around.
Large patches of green grass were pressed down, and a breeze swept toward the surroundings.
Hundreds of drones took off into the air simultaneously, like a disciplined swarm of bees, forming a neat formation, flying through several graceful arcs in the air, and finally hovering in one spot to form a square black curtain.
Then it moved its position slowly.
The dense swarm of drones gradually presented the outlines of several square characters, and they became clearer bit by bit.
At this moment, a slight commotion suddenly came from the crowd beneath the drones, and the crowd gradually dispersed to the surroundings, leaving only the young figures of a man and a woman in the middle.
Su Xin in the distance could faintly see the man kneeling on one knee, clearly confessing his love to the woman.
At the same time, the characters formed by that large swarm of drones in the sky became completely clear.
"Juan, I love you."
As the four large characters clearly emerged, the neon lights hanging under the drones lit up instantly, making these four characters shine in the sky and attracting the attention of everyone around.
Such a grand display and such a romantic scene made the girl in the crowd feel inexplicably moved, and she threw herself into the man's arms.
Many people around applauded, sending blessings to this young couple.
More people were looking at the neat and orderly swarm of drones in the sky with faces full of surprise.
One person controlling hundreds of drones, and doing so so neatly, so flexibly, and so orderly, simply exceeded the cognition of many people.
A few people with some knowledge of the military knew that the Military had Swarm Drone Technology, which could also be used for the coordinated work of drone swarms.
But the Military's drones, whether in terms of system or configuration, were theoretically far more advanced than civilian ones, yet the drone swarm technology previously publicized by the Military could only control dozens of drones at the same time, and it was far from being as flexible and neat as the drones before them.
This kind of technology was clearly more powerful.
Could it be that drone technology had made another major breakthrough? Is that why the drone technology released for civilian use was so advanced?
Then, just how terrifying must today's military drones be?
Some people were shocked to their core.
Su Xin was also watching with great interest.
But shortly after, some complaints from two boys nearby reached him, leaving him unable to laugh or cry.
"What's romantic about this? Isn't it just having money? What does this have to do with romance?"
"These few hundred drones must have cost at least two or three million; if it were me, I'd be moved too."
