A battle without any suspense.
A dozen drones followed the central air-conditioning ducts and quickly arrived at the fourth, fifth, and sixth floors controlled by terrorists. They identified the location of the hostages through probe cameras and lurked directly above the terrorists' heads.
The Malay anti-terrorism force immediately formulated a careful combat plan based on the situation detected by the drone. They were divided into five groups and launched attacks from various weakly defended parts of the building at the same time after the operation began.
With the cooperation of the sudden attack by drones, more than 30 special forces rushed into the building with lightning speed, killing several terrorists in succession, and ended the battle in just 80 seconds. .
All 79 hostages were rescued, eight of the ten terrorists were killed on the spot, and the remaining two were captured.
Yes, there are ten terrorists in total.
The Malay police's intelligence was wrong. There were not just nine hijackers at all. There was also one person who hid explosives in his jacket and disguised himself as a tourist while squatting with the hostages.
If Starlink Trading's beta-2 police drone hadn't responded quickly enough and killed the terrorist who tried to detonate the explosives immediately, this hostage rescue operation would have ended in failure.
Thanks to the help of the beta-2 drone, the hostage crisis was successfully resolved.
Afterwards, the Malay Prime Minister and the Malay King repeatedly expressed their gratitude to Jiang Chen and Xinghuan Trading for their help. All the media who arrived at the scene also expressed their amazement at the police drone that showed its power in the hostage rescue and spoke highly of it!
The New York Times on the other side of the ocean even rated it as an "artifact for counter-terrorism".
All thanks are empty. If it weren't for the visible benefits, Jiang Chen wouldn't help out with nothing to do.
Sure enough, just after he and TN Company negotiated the power export agreement and the construction plan of the submarine transmission cable, the Malaysian police chief found him, hoping to order a batch of beta-2 drones from Future Heavy Industries.
The total value of this order is more than S$20 million.
This S$20 million order is not a lot for Future Heavy Industries, but it is undoubtedly a good start. For a long time, the police drones produced by Future Heavy Industries that can carry light weapons have been unable to open up markets overseas. Compared with foreign companies, police departments in various countries are more inclined to seek cooperation with domestic equipment suppliers.
This hostage incident is undoubtedly a good publicity for Futureman Heavy Industries' beta-2 drone.
With the cooperation of beta-2, the Malay special forces rescued 79 hostages from well-equipped terrorists with zero casualties. Even looking at the cases of successful anti-terrorism operations around the world, this can be regarded as an impressive achievement.
I believe that countries troubled by conservative terrorism will definitely be interested in Future Heavy Industries’ beta-2 drone.
…
Hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, on the lunar colony, dozens of lunar dust racks were cultivating an open space the size of a football field. Reinforced steel frames were erected one after another, and workers in spacesuits kangarooed between various building materials, splicing and fixing the materials with low-power metal jet welding guns.
In the center of the construction site is a hexagonal platform.
The shell, which is as dark and deep as the universe, is spliced with small scaly bulges. Each bump is about the size of a thumb and is neatly arranged into a network that spans the entire hexagonal shell.
"...the connection is OK."
After taking a deep breath, Lu Fan raised his hand and wiped his forehead.
It's not really sweating, it's just his habitual action when solving big troubles, but at this time he was touching the thick helmet.
After being stunned for a moment, Lu Fan immediately made a wry smile, put the equipment into the tool box, and prepared to return to the lunar colony.
It has been over a week since I came here.
The closer we are to the universe, the smaller we feel.
After the initial novelty, Lu Fan also began to miss life on earth as the colonial supervisor said. The feeling of your legs being bound to the ground by gravity can only be felt in the gravity chamber.
After passing through the buffer warehouse, he hung his spacesuit at the door, took out his ID card and swiped it on the scanner, then took a can of coffee from the cashier of the vending machine. You still have to pay for things in space, but his salary is several times higher than on Earth, so there is no need to be careful when shopping.
At this time, a middle-aged man also passed through the buffer warehouse and entered the colony. After seeing Lu Fan, he said hello.
"How does it feel?"
"It's okay." Lu Fan said casually, "I feel like I've arrived in Australia and turned into a kangaroo."
The middle-aged man laughed and put the tool box next to him.
"Yes, we are all kangaroos. Speaking of which, have you ever been to Australia? The kangaroos there are really interesting. I mean the ones in the zoo. The wild ones are not friendly at all."
"I haven't been there. Maybe I will consider going when my shift changes in three months." Lu Fan raised his eyebrows and said, "Learn from them the experience of kangaroo jumping."
"Hahaha… !"
This middle-aged man is his boss, He Biao, the director of the colonial power department. Although he is the boss, there is no concept of superiority and inferiority here. The current size of the colony is only more than 500 people. Although new people will join every once in a while, it is still only a small place.
There are only twenty people in the entire Electric Power Department.
It is these twenty electrical engineers who support the power grid of the entire colony from the living units to the soilless cultivation rooms.
The two packed up their things and prepared to go to the colonial cafeteria for lunch. If you want to maintain a good routine on the moon, you can only constantly check the time through your watch, and then tell yourself when it’s time to sleep and when it’s time to eat.
After ordering a plate of curry beef in the canteen, Lu Fan sat across from He Biao. Sitting in his position, he could just see the construction site outside the window.
Lu Fan frowned slightly and asked what he had always been confused about.
"You said... what exactly is that thing?"
He Biao was stunned for a moment, but looked at him strangely.
"You mean the one outside? You don't know?"
Lu Fan shook his head.
"No one informed me. Is it a secret within the company?"
He Biao smiled and shook his head.
"It's not a secret, because it will be put into use soon. However, some time ago, the relevant information about that thing was indeed a Class A secret."
Lu Fan felt that the curiosity in his heart became stronger.
"what exactly is it?"
"A device that can convert electrical energy into light energy and transmit it hundreds of thousands of kilometers away."
"How is this possible!" Lu Fan lost his voice.
Seeing other people in the cafeteria looking over, he quickly lowered his head and lowered his voice.
He Biao looked at his subordinates' reckless appearance and grinned.
"It's nothing impossible. Although I was more surprised than you when I heard about this thing for the first time. But after seeing the entire design drawing, you won't think so."
As he spoke, he cast his gaze out the window and said with some fascination.
"If the trial run goes well, this will become the first specialty product exported from the moon to the earth. And our colony will also completely get rid of the label of a huge waste of money!" (~^~)
