Genius is just the threshold for me!

Chapter 75, 4 minutes and 49 seconds...

"This...is it over?"

The command and refereeing headquarters at the exercise training ground.

The staff officer and commander from the military region all stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what they were seeing on the big screen showing the live exercise.

Compared to the projector on Lin Dong's side, it could only display the Red Team's reconnaissance information.

Here, they can see the entire map of the Red and Blue sides, the personnel of both sides, all kinds of surviving units, including all information such as the coverage of artillery firing data.

Just now.

As soon as the exercise began, the Blue Team's artillery opened fire, and the main battlefield also began a coordinated advance of infantry and tanks. In addition, several tactical squads secretly formed infiltration formations, preparing to outflank and penetrate the Red Team's stronghold.

Everything seemed normal on the blue team's side, except for the red team, who remained completely still.

Just as they were wondering...

The swarm of drones has taken off.

Then the swarm of drones transformed into bridges, with over a thousand drones deployed in a single flight, and then... nothing more.

Wherever the drone goes.

The blue team's surviving signals that they could see were being rapidly extinguished, as if swept away by a tsunami.

The few remaining tanks and armored vehicles were also wiped out by the saturation bombardment of drones.

"4 minutes and 49 seconds..."

At this moment, Wei Hua'an, who had come specifically to check on the training situation and was already a two-star general at the age of forty-two, looked at the last time displayed on the big screen and suddenly thought of something. He turned around sharply and looked at Lin Weiliang, who was in the corner holding a pen and paper and calculating something.

As he moved, everyone else in the command center turned their attention to Lin Weiliang.

"Queen Bee, oh no, Chief Engineer Lin!"

Wei Hua'an took a deep breath, walked over with an upright posture, and asked in a slightly ingratiating tone, "These swarm drones... can our soldiers unleash such power? Can they wipe out an armored battalion of 800 men in 5 minutes?"

Lin Weiliang looked at the paper questions that Lin Dong had listed for him on the draft paper, questions that had been troubling him all day and he still hadn't figured out. He sighed, looked up, and saw Wei Hua'an walking over.

"The swarm is now an open platform. I am just a developer. How to unleash the power of the swarm depends on the operation of the drone pilot."

As long as the pilot is proficient in using the combat command codes and has flexible tactical thinking, with enough training, anyone can perform such maneuvers.

"So, does that mean we need to configure a sufficient number of swarm drones for training, as well as other drones?" Wei Hua'an frowned slightly.

Judging from what just happened, this drone is practically a consumable item.

If training were to proceed in this manner, the cost would skyrocket.

"Real training definitely requires drones, but routine training can be handled in other ways."

Lin Weiliang recalled the drone pilot game that Lin Dong had been developing: "My brother-in-law is currently developing a drone game."

This game uses a realistic physics engine and control commands, and can recreate 98% of drone operation. It should be completed in the second half of the year…

The core physics engine and command algorithm for Lin Dong's drone game will be completed in a few days.

Once the encryption and encapsulation are completed, Lin Dong's uncle will find someone to add voice-over and friend interaction features, and the game will be launched. The progress will be quite fast.

"Chief Engineer Lin's brother-in-law? He can replicate 98% of the operation?"

Wei Hua'an was taken aback for a moment, then immediately assured him with delight, "No problem, I'll go back today and report to the leader personally. We can help resolve the game license issue."

Once the game is released, I'll report to my superiors and arrange for the entire army to train and play together!

talking.

Wei Hua'an, as if remembering something, asked seriously, "Chief Engineer Lin, what was the manufacturing cost of that bomb drone... the infrared drone?"

"The cost is acceptable."

Lin Weiliang said with a smile, "Not counting the core control program, the hardware cost of mass-producing one, including the bomb, is about 270 yuan."

Originally, he and Chen Jianhua calculated that the cost was 280 yuan per aircraft, which could carry 1 kilogram of TNT bombs.

However, when the ammunition expert saw the configuration of this 1 kg TNT bomb while calculating the kill radius and preparing the exercise parameters, he immediately cursed it as utter nonsense.

To say that a bomb with a yield of less than 2 tons, containing only explosives and no fragmentation, is just a showy but useless weapon.

Then, under the guidance of experts, the weight of the 1 kg TNT bomb remained unchanged, but the explosive equivalent was reduced to 300 g TNT, and all the weight reduction was used to increase the fragmentation.

Ultimately, the absolute kill radius of this new version of the bomb increased directly from 4.6 meters to 8.2 meters, and the absolute incapacitation radius soared from 5.8 meters to 18.3 meters.

More importantly, this thing has an increased kill radius, but a reduced cost.

With the addition of a detonation device, the cost dropped from 35 yuan to 25 yuan, further reducing the value of infantry lives.

"How many?"

Wei Hua'an was stunned, and asked in disbelief, "270 yuan per aircraft?"

"right."

Lin Weiliang nodded: "According to Moore's Law, the price of semiconductor devices with the same performance will drop next year, and the cost can be reduced by about 20%."

"270 yuan, and it'll drop another 20% next year..."

Wei Hua'an's eyes widened, and he suddenly turned his head to look at the big screen, at the statistics of the Red Team's battle losses.

— 768 infrared drones and 4 swarm drones were lost in battle!

So, the Red Team wiped out the entire armored battalion of 20 men from the Blue Team with a cost of less than 30?

buzzing-

Five minutes later, the remaining drones automatically returned to base.

Lin Dong looked at the exercise prompt that popped up on the screen: "Blue team wiped out, Red team wins." A hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

He originally thought that the remaining tanks and armored vehicles of the Blue Team would be beyond the capabilities of the swarm drones.

After all, his initial swarm system lacked a strategy for dealing with armored vehicles, and in the end, it would most likely require everyone to deploy FPV drones for concentrated bombardment.

However, after Lin Weiliang's learning and integration, this brand-new swarm system has added strategies for dealing with armored tanks.

Although the frontal armor cannot be penetrated.

However, the tracks, turrets, and other parts of tanks and armored vehicles are weak points. Direct saturation bombardment can cripple and eliminate the Blue Team's armored units in just a few rounds.

"It seems that Comrade Lin Weiliang is making rapid progress."

Lin Dong sighed inwardly, glancing at Huang Qingyao, Xu Hua, and the others who were still in shock, before looking at Qi Jingchuan and the other soldiers who had somehow appeared outside the sunshade.

"Lin Dong, is this what you meant by wiping out the blue team in five minutes?"

Qi Jingchuan, still shaken, walked up and said with a wry smile or a hint of bewilderment, "I have a feeling that those guys from the Blue Team will be dreaming about drones tonight."

"This is how drones operate, except that I'm deploying in groups, but in essence, it's no different from remotely controlling one drone at a time."

Lin Dong said seriously, "The correct way to use this drone is not for reconnaissance; it's for attrition and bombing."

"I understand, it's a piece-exchanging tactic."

Qi Jingchuan took a deep breath: "I just didn't expect this thing to be so terrifying. In five minutes, an entire armored battalion..."

I just looked at the information reported by Chief Engineer Lin, and the cost of this thing is less than three hundred yuan per unit.

Such a cost gap is something no army in the world can withstand, much less bear.

"We should be thankful for that..."

Lin Dong smiled and said, "At least this technology is in our hands, in the hands of civilization, isn't it?"

"In the hands of civilization?"

Qi Jingchuan was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter: "That's right, we should be thankful, thankful that it's in our hands!"

"Big brother...big brother!"

At that moment, a gasp rang out from inside the sunshade.

Zhang Yihao snapped out of his shock, rushed to Lin Dong, and bowed deeply, saying, "Please, elder brother, impart to us the supreme secrets of the bee swarm technique!"

"Me too! I want some!"

Li Tao then came to his senses, jumped up, leaped over two benches blocking his way, ran to Lin Dong, and knelt down on one knee: "Please, Godfather, impart to us the supreme secrets of the bee swarm!"

"No, I'll bow, you kneel on one knee, I'll call you elder brother, you call me godfather..."

Zhang Yihao was a little stunned. He glared at Li Tao and said, "Li Tao, have you no shame? You're even trying to compete in this arena?"

Have you no shame?

Li Tao raised an eyebrow and suddenly invited Zhang Yihao, "Want to go take a dump together?"

Holy crap!

Zhang Yihao was dumbfounded.

Only then did he realize Li Tao's reputation as the "King of Shit" since childhood; this guy was truly shameless...

Oh no, I should say that after bearing the legend of the "King of Shit" for so many years, even if he originally had a sense of shame, he has now become shameless.
