Chapter 73

When she heard her boyfriend's words, Xiao Yi turned her head again and sure enough, the helicopter was hovering motionlessly over the water, seemingly doing nothing.

Seeing this situation, most people would look around for the operator, as the control range of the helicopter is between one hundred to two hundred meters, so the operator must be nearby.

But after Xiao Yi looked around, the quiet lake only had a few boats, and most of them were couples laughing and playing, with no one holding a remote controller.

As for the bridge a hundred meters away, it was completely deserted.

So where was the operator of the helicopter?

Xiao Yi's head was a bit muddled, and she felt a vague sense of strangeness.

Just as the two were amazed by the helicopter's stationary hover, it suddenly rose slowly and then shot off into the distance.

Several kilometers away, Chen Yang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. The sudden blurriness of the image startled him, seemingly due to the poor 3G network in the East Suburb Park, causing the transmitted image to stutter and almost become unrecognizable.

Fortunately, after a minute, the network recovered, and Chen Yang switched to manual mode, controlling the drone to fly out of the East Suburb Park.

Deep within the East Suburb Park lies a vast forest. These trees were planted when the park was first established, all over twenty years old, and have grown very lush. Under the glow of the setting sun, they resemble golden stars twinkling, with the light spots flickering leisurely on the shrubs, exuding an indescribable tranquility.

Such a lush forest is rarely entered by people, leading to a year-round silence. This tranquility was instantly broken when the drone flew in.

"Whirr, whirr, whirr..."

The faint sound of the motor's operation came from a distance. Under Chen Yang's control several kilometers away, the drone quickly flew out of the forest and arrived outside the East Suburb Park's wall.

Outside the East Suburb Park's wall, there was originally a construction site. Unfortunately, due to issues between the construction and responsible parties a few years ago, the half-built structures had to be halted, and the boss fled, leaving no workers willing to stay. They all dispersed after receiving compensation from the municipal government.

To this day, the construction site remains abandoned, with no one taking over. Apart from some initial thefts, it has become overgrown with weeds and devoid of human presence.

However, this desolate scene suited Chen Yang's intentions. Testing the drone's onboard weapons here would prevent anyone from seeing.

"Commander Luosi, is this place okay?"

"Hmm, it's fine."

Chen Yang's right hand agreed, "Let's test the solid-state pulsed laser first."

"Yes."

With a nuclear battery as its power source, the high-energy pulsed laser installed on the drone was extremely powerful. The power it emitted in an instant could penetrate steel plates several meters away, and one can imagine how terrifying such power would be to humans.

Under Chen Yang's control, the drone slowly descended to a height of three to four meters above the ground. A rhombus-shaped object quickly extended from the central abdomen of the drone, aiming at an exposed rebar.

Aiming the drone at an object is a simple task, similar to focusing a regular phone camera. Chen Yang just needed to long-press the screen, and the drone would automatically focus on the object.

Then, with a simple press of the launch option, a high-voltage pulse triggered the flash inside the drone, and the solid-state lamp-pumped pulsed YAG laser immediately emitted a bright orange high-energy laser. In an instant, it crossed a distance of six to seven meters and struck the exposed rebar.

Suddenly, sparks flew, and the rebar melted. The collision of the high-energy laser with the rebar ended with the rebar being cleanly severed, so fast that no one could react.

"Whoa..."

The theory is one thing, but seeing it with one's own eyes is another. When Chen Yang personally saw the immense power of the solid-state lamp-pumped pulsed YAG laser through the screen, he couldn't help but draw a sharp breath.

After the creation of the "Hunter" and "Tyrant," the right hand finally manufactured another weapon.

Compared to the non-replicability of the Hunter and Tyrant, the TC-100 only required a hardware update, and if mass-produced, it would become a weapon that would strike fear into any enemy on the battlefield.

Any discerning person could see that, apart from the nuclear battery inside, the rest of the hardware was barely passable. The most crucial part was its automatic control system.

This software advancement was the most terrifying aspect of the drone.

Next, Chen Yang would test this software's superiority.

After locking onto a dozen targets on the screen, Chen Yang flew the drone to a distance, set it to automatic mode, and relinquished manual control to observe.

"Whirr, whirr..."

Without Chen Yang's control, the four rotors generated an upward airflow, carrying the drone automatically toward the targets.

Unlike the previous height of three to four meters above the ground, this time the drone chose a height of about ten meters, and then...

At the fastest speed of 15 meters per second, the drone suddenly dove from above toward the dozen targets, like a fierce eagle swooping down from the sky, extending its sharpest claws. The orange high-energy laser flashed, and a series of sparks erupted on the ground.

By the time the drone flew past and returned, it was clear through the screen that the dozen selected targets had been easily destroyed!

This was the autonomous attack mode of the TC-100, which was much faster than human-controlled attacks.

"Looks good."

The right hand, which had been silent, casually concluded after watching the drone's performance.

"Commander Luosi, this is just good?"

Chen Yang's eyelids twitched. If the TC-100 drone could strike a dozen targets in a few seconds, and if the targets were set to a crowd on the street...

Then...

From the east street to the west street, there would definitely be bodies strewn everywhere, with no survivors.

Thinking of this outcome, Chen Yang couldn't help but shiver. Fortunately, he wasn't a terrorist, and the right hand had little interest in massacring humans.

No, even if the right hand wanted to massacre humans, he would do his utmost to stop it!

Thinking of this, Chen Yang felt a strange sensation in his heart, a melancholy of a hero's decline, a hero unknown to the world, which made him sigh deeply and look at the sky in silence.

In the end, he was still a low-key hero...

"Bang."

So much for being cool for more than five seconds. Before Chen Yang could express his inner feelings, the right hand hit him on the back of the head.

"Commander Luosi, why did you hit me?"

Having not been hit for a long time, Chen Yang was stunned and even had the courage to question.

"For no reason... I just suddenly felt like hitting you."

Chen Yang: "..."

Had his father ever hit him as many times as this alien?

It seems he was truly unfilial; his father couldn't even compare to an alien.

Chen Yang was indignant. When he had time to visit his hometown and pay respects, he would make sure his father hit him a few times in his dreams.

The testing of the TC-100 drone was basically complete. Just as Chen Yang was about to control the drone to return, he saw a figure moving in the distance on the camera feed.

"Huh, there seems to be someone over there..."

"Commander Luosi, should we go check it out?"

Chen Yang sought the right hand's opinion.

"Up to you."

The right hand was not interested and was tapping the tablet screen with its tentacles, clearly finding more interesting things there.

Since the right hand neither opposed nor agreed, Chen Yang, with the intention of testing the drone, raised the drone's height and flew it toward the place where the figure had been seen.
