Chapter 300

The scale of this factory was much larger than the drone factory, almost filling this independent area.

Ni Yongyao input the technical patents for the individual missiles into the automatic factory and put all the raw materials into it as well.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to the host for fully activating the individual missile automatic factory; production has officially begun."

"Current products: anti-personnel missiles, anti-armor missiles, anti-aircraft missiles."

"Current production efficiency: 30 units every 24 hours!"

"Tip: When there are multiple products, the host can freely allocate the production capacity for individual products."

Seeing these prompts, Ni Yongyao did not hesitate and directly allocated the production capacity equally.

Thirty missiles a day might seem small, but individual missiles had a wider range of uses than bomb drones and were not intensive consumables like bomb drones.

No matter how many individual missiles were fired, they were fired one by one, whereas bomb drones were different. This thing was useless in small numbers; it had to be formed into a drone swarm to maximize its utility, so the consumption was extremely terrifying, with at least hundreds of drones consumed in a single operation.

After doing all this, Ni Yongyao looked at the two fully automated factories and felt some emotion; technology really is productivity.

If all factories could be fully automated, that would be perfect.

Three days later.

Hong Kong International Convention and Exhibition Center.

After three days of fermentation, the news that Black Steel Industry was holding another press conference spread all over the world, and companies from all over sent representatives to Hong Kong to attend.

Even Lockheed Martin, which belonged to the same industry as Black Steel Industry, sent a representative, and it was a high-level president who came, which showed how much importance Lockheed Martin attached to Black Steel Industry.

The reason was simple: the several products previously released by Black Steel Industry, especially the Scorpion armed helicopter, had already made Lockheed Martin realize the power of Black Steel Industry, even though the latter had only been established for a few months and was like an infant in front of the long-established Lockheed Martin.

But the deadly part was that this infant was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and Lockheed Martin had to list Black Steel Industry as an object of close attention.

The large exhibition hall was already full of people, and many reporters were whispering to each other, discussing what products Black Steel Industry would release this time.

Among the previous products, every single one had stunned everyone's eyes, making them look forward to this press conference even more.

Among them, the reporters and representatives from Hong Kong were the most talkative; after all, Black Steel Industry was a local Hong Kong enterprise, and their volume was three times louder when they spoke, full of pride in their words.

Ten minutes later.

Ni Yongyao entered the venue on time, followed by Fire Fox and Sophia.

Since the products publicly released at this press conference were bomb drones and individual missiles, Ni Yongyao didn't bring those Mao Xiong engineers, leaving it to Fire Fox and Sophia to introduce them.

With Ni Yongyao's arrival, the originally noisy venue suddenly became quiet; no one dared to make a sound at this moment, and all eyes were focused on Ni Yongyao.

Ni Yongyao sat down on the chair calmly, not feeling the slightest bit nervous even though he was being watched by so many people in the audience.

"Thank you all for attending this Black Steel International press conference..."

Ni Yongyao said a few simple opening remarks, and then Fire Fox began to introduce the bomb drones.

"This is the latest product of Black Steel Industry, the Suicide Drone."

Fire Fox held a bomb drone in her hand; the entire machine was extremely small, less than the size of Fire Fox's palm, looking quite exquisite and compact.

As soon as Fire Fox spoke, everyone's attention was immediately attracted by the drone, and no one even paid attention to Fire Fox, who was close at hand.

In 1991, drones were far from the level of development of later generations, and it would be no exaggeration to say that the civilian field was a blank slate. There were only prototypes made in some laboratories, but their performance and control were hard to describe.

And now, a mature product was placed in front of them, which made everyone who had never seen a drone very curious.

Even the previous Scorpion armed helicopter didn't make them have such strong curiosity; after all, armed helicopters were things that had come out a long time ago, and the Scorpion was nothing more than a twin-rotor version with enhanced performance in all aspects, essentially the same thing.

But drones were different; this was a brand-new product they had never come into contact with.

"The Suicide Drone has a total weight of 970g, a maximum flight speed of 400 km/h, a range of 10 kilometers, and comes with its own sensor radar. It will automatically detonate after detecting a target, with an effective kill radius of 5 meters."

Fire Fox introduced.

"May I ask, can this thing, which is not even as big as your palm, really fly?"

A foreigner asked.

At the same time, this was the unanimous curiosity of everyone present. Before this, they hadn't even seen a standard-model drone, let alone the pocket-sized item in Fire Fox's hand.

"Mr. Ni?"

Fire Fox looked at Ni Yongyao for instructions.

"Give them a demonstration."

Ni Yongyao said.

"Yes."

Fire Fox then took out the remote control device and pressed the switch. They saw the micro-propellers on the Suicide Drone spin rapidly, and then it flew into the air under Fire Fox's control.

Hum!

The Suicide Drone's speed of up to 400 km/h was terrifying; everyone in the venue couldn't see the drone's movements at all, only seeing a blurry shadow fly past.

In the blink of an eye, Fire Fox controlled the Suicide Drone to circle the venue a few times and finally returned to her palm, stopping steadily, demonstrating super stability.

This live demonstration immediately made everyone's eyes light up. They finally realized the power of the Suicide Drone; if targeted by a drone with such speed, it would definitely be a nightmare for all infantry.

"I have a question. The weight of this drone is only 970g. May I ask where the explosives are loaded? In such a limited space, how much explosive can be loaded while squeezing in batteries, motors, and numerous mechanical devices? Can it achieve the 5-meter kill radius you mentioned?"

Another foreigner asked.

"You don't need to worry about this question. The Suicide Drone adopts a unique design. The high-energy polymer battery independently developed by Black Steel Industry can not only provide power for the drone but also serves as the explosive. It will automatically detonate after approaching the target, with an equivalent six times that of TNT of the same volume."

Fire Fox explained with a smile.

Hearing this, everyone below felt a chill; thinking about the Suicide Drone just flying over their heads, their backs felt cold.

Only then did they come back to their senses, realizing how outrageous the technology Fire Fox introduced was.

"Both a battery and a bomb? Has battery technology developed to such a terrifying level now?"

Some people said, dumbfounded.

Others were shocked by the range of the Suicide Drone. 10 kilometers didn't seem like much, but one had to know that this was a drone with a total weight of less than one kilogram and a speed of 400 km/h, which was enough to show how powerful the battery carried by the drone was.

In the corner, Lockheed Martin President Leonard had a grave expression, his eyes fixed on the Suicide Drone in Fire Fox's hand, almost spitting fire. He could foresee that after this press conference, Black Steel Industry would once again gain fame, and old giants like Lockheed Martin would often be brought out for comparison.
