Chapter 69

A few days later —

"Am I crazy from being poor..."

The sky outside was clear, and Chen Yang's heart was also very happy. A certain tycoon in the game was not at all stingy, spending a huge amount in one go, recharging 200,000 yuan, which pushed his account close to the 400,000 yuan mark.

This money came so easily that it made Chen Yang deeply realize just how profitable the gaming industry could be. No wonder domestic game companies kept launching online games one after another; it was simply because they were so profitable.

The money he earned, compared to what the company like Tencent made from their games, was like a drop in the ocean, not worth mentioning.

He sat in front of the computer screen, smiling, while his right hand continued to research. Perhaps because it couldn't stand Chen Yang staring at the account, the right hand transmitted a pain sensation.

"Ah..."

Like a needle pricking his buttocks, Chen Yang suddenly stood up, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.

"Parasite, have you had enough leisure time?"

The right hand, with its mouth full of sharp teeth, pointed at Chen Yang, and a terrifying aura rushed towards him.

"Don't forget the other two components."

Chen Yang shivered, "I haven't forgotten, I haven't forgotten..."

In the past, Chen Yang had to submit to his right hand, otherwise, the terrifying nerve stimulation was unbearable. But he was actually very unhappy and always thought of finding an opportunity to counterattack. Later, the right hand lured him with benefits to cooperate, using both a carrot and a stick. Chen Yang, of course, could only choose the carrot.

Now, seeing the money in his account continuously increase, not only did the right hand look at him more favorably, but he also looked at the right hand more favorably, wishing he could hug and kiss it.

"Commander Screw, what are you doing with this?"

Chen Yang stood up and came to the right hand's side, curiously watching the object it was fiddling with.

It was an octocopter drone that cost over 30,000 yuan, bought from Taobao. Now, the right hand was quickly disassembling the drone.

"The performance of this drone is too weak, I need to modify it..."

"Too weak?"

Chen Yang picked up the manual and read it, unable to help but be speechless. Was a 30,000 yuan drone considered weak? It was much better than those few hundred yuan quadcopters, right?

With a diagonal axis distance of 1100mm, a maximum payload of 8kg, a maximum takeoff weight of 10kg, a flight radius of 1.5km, and a video transmission range of 1km, these specifications were far from weak.

The only weakness was the flight time, which was only a few minutes.

Hmm, the problem wasn't here; the key was what the right hand intended to do with the drone.

"Commander Screw, are you planning to..."

"Just an experiment."

The right hand suddenly put down the drone, its tone somewhat troubled: "This thing is far from as good as described on the website. Do humans like to lie?"

"Uh..."

Chen Yang carefully said: "On Taobao, there are inevitably some who falsify information. This is a normal thing, after all, a large forest has all kinds of birds."

"It seems I must make significant modifications to this thing."

The right hand said, extending several tentacles to operate the magnetic field binding device to smelt new parts, while simultaneously extending dozens of tentacles to quickly write programs on a Microsoft tablet.

To put it simply, Chen Yang's basement had undergone significant changes.

First, there was the 24-hour surveillance outside the door, the door was replaced with a security door, and the lock was replaced with an independently powered electronic fingerprint lock.

Around the door, a solid-state pulse laser was DIY-designed using materials bought from Taobao. If someone forcibly broke in, the security system would activate, and several laser beams with 15500 millijoule output would easily penetrate steel plates, making the intruder regret it.

The original computer desk was replaced with a larger one, moved to the wall. The three screens were replaced by twelve screens neatly arranged in rows, with three used for surveillance and the rest displaying high-speed information, indicating full-load operation.

There were also fixed screens in various places in the basement for easy use.

Using the best CPU and the best graphics card, a central computer was assembled to take full control of the basement.

Chen Yang felt itchy, as if he were back in class, and couldn't help but pick up a book to study while designing some small gadgets.

Compared to the right hand, his designs were naturally just small gadgets, such as re-installing the basement lights and connecting them to the local network, allowing the central computer to control the lights intelligently.

He then moved the air conditioner into the basement and connected it to the network for autonomous control, allowing him to control it remotely via his phone, turning it on to blow cool air before he returned.

In the design process, Chen Yang faced many challenges, but he solved them one by one. After completing it, he couldn't help but marvel at the endless pursuit of knowledge and the importance of continuous learning.

Thinking back to the past, he had abandoned what he had learned and complained about not finding a good job. Chen Yang felt both ashamed and grateful. Fortunately, it was not too late. With the excellent conditions after his body was modified, if Chen Yang didn't study hard, he would be a fool.

After the basement environment was improved, Chen Yang also moved a refrigerator into the basement, filling it with various cold beers and drinks. In the hot summer, he could easily cool down, making it extremely comfortable.

The right hand was preparing to modify the quadcopter drone, basically discarding its main structure and redesigning the main body to become a quad-winged drone, significantly reducing its size and weight.

Most civilian drones are controlled by radio, with a remote control range of only a few hundred meters, within line of sight.

This, of course, did not meet the right hand's requirements.

According to its explanation, it would redesign and develop a new autonomous flight control system, capable of both manual and automatic flight.

When the transmitter operates in PCM mode, the internal circuit of the remote control encodes and transmits the joystick deflection. When the remote control signal is transmitted via radio waves to the built-in receiver of the drone, the receiver outputs a PWM remote control signal to the control mode switching unit.

This is controlled via 2.4GHz radio, with a remote control range of up to 3 kilometers.

When the distance exceeds this, the drone is usually uncontrollable. However, by installing a mobile terminal internet module inside the drone and connecting to the ubiquitous 3G high-speed network in the city, the control information can be read from an intermediary server at regular intervals, allowing the drone to be controlled via a mobile phone.

As for converting control information into drive signals, it was not a difficult task for the right hand, and even for Chen Yang, it was not hard.

In mobile phone development, there is already control of device ports. By implementing user-level control functions based on the microcontroller protocol of the device chip, the conversion can be achieved.

For switching to automatic flight, the data acquisition unit on the drone would collect data on the current drone's attitude, heading, and position, which would then be fused and transmitted to the onboard autonomous flight controller.

The autonomous flight controller would process the current flight status data and, based on control algorithms, generate autonomous control signals to the lower-level machine.

The servo control unit would then generate PWM servo control signals based on the autonomous control signals, controlling the main rotor, ailerons, tail, throttle, and pitch to maintain various flight postures.

As long as the program was designed, the drone could even achieve autonomous takeoff and landing, and cruise within a range!

Chen Yang listened to the right hand's explanation, becoming increasingly amazed. The research involved had long surpassed civilian drones and delved into the military drone domain.

Developing such a drone would likely violate the law.

Not to mention, the right hand planned to install a solid-state pulse laser and other small weapons on the drone.

This wasn't just violating the law; it was committing a crime!

However, Chen Yang thought carefully, and the act of violating the law and committing crimes...

As a traitor who had betrayed humanity, he was already deeply entrenched and could not extricate himself.
