"Warm welcome to the Dushi Special Machinery R&D Center for inspection and guidance." One day in April, the Dushi Special Machinery R&D Center for the wind and sunny Dushi Special Machinery R&D Center welcomed two distinguished guests, one of which was Major General Xiao Ganguang of the Military Equipment Department and Major General Wang Rong of the Electronic Information Department. They came to observe and inspect the latest successful drone of Dushi Special Machinery (dsm).

"Hello Minister Xiao, Minister Wang, you are working hard all the way. Welcome to the Dushi Special Machinery R&D Center to guide the work." Duke, who saw the convoy coming from afar, waited at the R&D base for a long time, welcomed him. The two generals of Xiao and Wang were Dong Feng who made a special trip to the airport to greet him.

This is the first time that the military's general-level heavyweights have visited since the establishment of the base, except for Qin Tairan. Dong Feng made full preparations for this. In order to show his grandeur, he even tried to force Duke to accompany him. Duke is the chief scientist of Duke's Special Machinery R&D Center. From this perspective, this arrangement is fine, but Dong Feng obviously forgot that Duke has the identity of the vice president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Xiao Ganguang and Wang Rong obviously did not expect that Dong Feng would have this arrangement. They are the main person in charge of equipment research and development of the military. Of course, they know Duke's current weight in the eyes of the military's chief military committee. Moreover, the other party's administrative level is one level higher than his, so the two of them quickly stepped forward and saluted, then shook hands with Duke and said, "Hello, President Du! How can we both afford to welcome President Du? It's really rude."

Xiao Ganguang said with some shame, if the person who came was General Manager Yang, it would be natural for Duke to come out to greet him. If they faced them, it would be really high-standard.

"Minister Xiao and Minister Wang are both rare guests in our center. As the host of the research center, it is natural for me to welcome the guests. There is no need to be polite to the two generals. Come and invite them inside!" Duke said with a smile.

After inviting the two generals into the VIP conference room at the base, the two sides exchanged greetings for a while before turning to the topic. The head of the drone team explained in detail the various parameters and application scenarios of the "Jingwei" and "Winglong" drones, as well as internal actual test flights and other contents.

After listening to the introduction, Xiao Ganguang turned to Duke who was accompanying him and said, "Director Du, can you arrange an actual exercise? Minister Wang and I came here this time just to see the actual combat performance of your drone."

"No problem, we can start anytime. I wonder if Minister Xiao has any requirements for this exercise?" Duke said with a smile. Duke was not sure about the sudden visit of these two military officials. Although Dong Feng reported the assembly of the main assembly after the internal test, neither of them expected that the assembly of the main assembly was so sharp, and soon sent two heavyweight responsible persons to visit.

According to the general situation, even if the person is finally equipped, it should be more appropriate for the Army Equipment Research and Ordering Department. After all, this is a tactical unmanned reconnaissance aircraft built for the Army brigade level and below, so the two ministers who came this time seemed a bit unusual.

But no matter what, two major general-level chief officials came at one time, indicating that the assembly attached great importance to the two drones developed by DSM. Therefore, after receiving the notice, Dong Feng was quite excited, because this is very likely a good sign of winning military orders. After all, DSM has just spent a lot of money. If there is no output, it will affect morale a lot. This kind of input and not output is obviously not the way to sustainable development. Even if SAL has money, it cannot be wasted like this without restrictions.

It was precisely because of the hope of order that Dong Feng was so angry that Duke had no temper and took a day to accompany him. With Duke, the heavyweight scientific authority, Dong Feng felt much more at ease, but this kid was obviously not as good as Cai Siqiang in his consideration of the problem. He actually asked Duke, a deputy ministerial-level technology tycoon, to come out to welcome him, raising the reception level of the two visiting major generals.

"Liu Xiaofei, go to the R&D center to temporarily borrow a platoon of armed police soldiers and give you an hour to find a suitable area to hide in the wasteland within ten kilometers nearby. If more than one person is not discovered, I will ask you for me when I go back!" Xiao Ganguang was really not polite when he heard Duke say this, and immediately called out a lieutenant colonel from his entourage and ordered.

"Mr. Dong, can you please arrange and coordinate relevant personnel and motor vehicles?" Xiao Ganguang asked Dong Feng on the side after giving instructions to Lieutenant Colonel Liu Xiaofei.

"No problem, Zhou Jian, please help Lt. Col. Liu, base personnel, equipment and vehicles, whatever you want, and do everything according to Lt. Col. Liu's requirements." Dong Feng replied readily. He knew that this was the assembly person was afraid of something in the exercise that was about to begin. If the exercise became an acting event, people would be more careful.

It was just right to do this. Dong Feng secretly said that his drone reconnaissance level is not a blow. In the previous test, even mice running on the ground could be found within a few kilometers. It was not difficult to find more than 40 living people. This would be even more convincing.

Therefore, in the face of this sudden situation, Dong Feng was not surprised but happy. After he gave the order, he started chatting with the two generals who were acting in charge. An hour passed soon, "Minister Xiao, Minister Wang, the time is about the same. Let's see if you two can start?" Dong Feng looked at the watch and felt that the time was about to be done, so he reminded him.

"Okay, let's go out and take a look at the charm of your two drones flying in the blue sky." Xiao Ganguang responded with a cheerful smile.

On the straight runway of the base, the "Jingwei" and "Winglong" were ready. With Dong Feng's order, the "Jingwei" was ejected into the sky and began to fly in the southeast direction. Then the "Winglong" soared from the runway, hovering in the air at a faster speed, and then began to head towards the northwest.

The current flight status of the two drones is clearly displayed on the display screen of the ground control system: altitude, speed, air flow, etc. Then the screen switches to high-definition images transmitted from the drone in real time, showing the place where the drone flies over. The infrared system quickly discovered traces of people or animals passing by nearby. The system automatically eliminates these hot information. After further supplementing the high-definition images for suspicious targets and analyzing them, it automatically eliminates ordinary people who do not have signs of military targets.

More than 10 minutes later, the first lurking target arranged by Lieutenant Colonel Liu was identified. Although the armed police soldier hiding in a grass was covered with disguised branches and weeds, it was difficult to detect under the naked eye. However, by comparing infrared images with high-definition images, the system determined that this was a dangerous and suspicious target, and marked it as a red dot on the image, giving location information.

During the whole process, except for seeing some customizations by the operators before the launch, the two generals Xiao Ganguang and Wang Rong did not do anything after the launch. They saw that the lurking armed police soldiers arranged by Liu Xiaofei were searched out one by one by two drones from various camouflage positions.

Not only half an hour, the disguised team of about 40 people was not invisible, and all of them were searched and marked on the map.
