Hunter of Mysterious Creature-Chapter 608 - 154: I Think I Can Do It
"No, I haven't."
"Although I don't really like teammates who hide their true abilities, I hate those who exaggerate their capabilities even more because the latter can really get people killed," Liu Li said with a frown.
"If you don't believe me, you can just consider me a blank slate Hunter," Sun Hang said nonchalantly, "I have no objections anyway."
"That's not what I mean... I just want to confirm with you, to what extent can your abilities really reach?" Liu Li asked, "Take electromagnetic acceleration, for example. Using this ability to move, what's the maximum speed you can reach, several times the speed of sound?"
"I haven't tried it before, so why not give it a try now?" Sun Hang glanced outside the cabin. The helicopter had now reached the outskirts of Tianfu City. Below, a low-lying area of houses was faintly visible. Due to power shortages, only streetlights on the main roads were lit; most blocks were shrouded in darkness.
"..." Liu Li stared at Sun Hang for a full half-minute before finally shaking his head, "Forget it."
The speed of the helicopter was fast. In less than five minutes, the lights of Tianfu City had been left far behind. Ahead, there were the encircling layers of mountains surrounding Tianfu City and the gloomy, continuous cloud layers. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
"The rain around Chimera 17's area is not natural rainfall but is driven by waste heat released from Chimera 17, forming a small-scale self-contained water cycle system. Compared to naturally formed cumulonimbus clouds, the top of this water cycle system is lower, at less than two thousand meters high," Liu Li said with a laptop on his knee. Several cables were connected to a device tucked under the seat, and numerous red and green indicator lights on the device were flashing wildly.
"We are currently at an altitude of 1800 meters. When we approach the restricted area, I will have the helicopter ascend to 2200 meters," Liu Li continued, "At that height, we will not be affected by the rain, and the radiation intensity can be almost disregarded. You will complete the final preparations directly above Bunker One and then vertically descend, passing through the rain clouds to reach Bunker One directly."
"Just jump down directly like that?" The Crystal Princess couldn't help but ask.
"Of course not. While you are preparing, I will send drones and robots to survey Bunker One first," Liu Li said, "However, in the past two hours, the radiation intensity of the area around Bunker One has risen sharply, and ionizing interference has increased nearly a hundredfold. This is a severe test for precision electronic equipment like drones."
"I should be able to solve this problem," Sun Hang suddenly said.
"Solve it? Do you mean a way to isolate the ionizing interference?" Liu Li was somewhat puzzled. "All four drones we brought this time have been equipped with radiation protection and signal enhancement modules, which is the current limit of technology modifications. Adding more would exceed the weight limits that their engines can bear, not to mention using them in this exceptionally heavy rain. If these four drones crash, we'll really be blind."
Apart from the four drones, they also carried sixteen military robots. However, to remotely control these robots, drones need to establish a signal bridge in the air... otherwise, given the interference intensity in the restricted area, the signal from the control terminal would be completely lost as soon as the robots moved a few hundred meters away from the helicopter.
"Let me take a look at the drones," Sun Hang said.
Although Liu Li was suspicious, he still dragged over a metal box from the side and took out a drone to hand to Sun Hang.
This was an "XLR05" lightweight military reconnaissance drone designed and produced by Yunding Technology. This drone had a factory weight of only 3.75 kilograms, but the thing in Sun Hang's hand now weighed at least about 10 pounds.
The iron-gray camouflage on the drone's surface had all been stripped off, replaced with a layer of radiation-resistant coating. Several layers of shiny aluminum foil were stuck to vital areas, looking like patches applied on it.
The internal antenna had been replaced with an external one... calling it an antenna, it looked more like a short, thick rolling pin, and at the top of the "rolling pin" was a receiver head, shaped like a sea anemone, made of many metal wires... along with the rolling pin below, Sun Hang felt this thing looked more like a kitchen utensil than a drone antenna.
"This drone has undergone specialized modifications. Its current weight is 5.19 kilograms," Liu Li said, "Although the four NVR03 motors it is equipped with can provide a maximum lift of 12 kilograms, considering the use environment, if the weight exceeds 5.5 kilograms, the probability of crashing will significantly increase... so its modification space has been compressed to the limit. How do you plan to further modify it?"
"So, there are only two problems to solve?" Sun Hang looked at Liu Li, "One problem is the radiation's impact on the drone's internal precision electronic components, and the other is signal interference, right?"
"Correct," Liu Li nodded.
"Then that's simple." As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Hang directly pulled off the rolling pin from the drone.
