Long Zhengwu shook his head and said, "If you knew the value of that kind of drone, you wouldn't think so. This kind of drone is the latest product, although it is still in the testing stage. But the data shows that all its performances are It has completely surpassed the Global Hawk series currently equipped by the US military. Therefore, this UAV is most likely to be the next generation UAV to replace the Global Hawk."
Lin Rui was slightly surprised and said, "In that case, this prototype is indeed worth a lot of money."
"Once the military and Raytheon sign this sales contract, not only the prototype itself, but also its core components, commonly known as the black box, all the original test data will be crucial. Once The loss of these things means that Raytheon's business worth hundreds of millions of dollars is very likely to go to waste." Long Zhengwu said slowly.
"Hundreds of millions of dollars?" Lin Rui said slightly surprised.
"The drone industry itself is a profitable business. Raytheon has invested a lot in this aspect. And once the wreckage and core components of the drone are given to international buyers, there will be extremely serious consequences. Technology leaks. The military will not purchase leaked drones, especially when the original test data of this aircraft has been exposed. This means that the advantages and disadvantages of this drone have been exposed to others. Raytheon does not You are willing to bear such losses, especially if you cannot bear the negative effects caused by it." Long Zhengwu shrugged, "This is the mentality of large military industrial enterprises."
"Do we have more information about this mission?" Lin Rui thought for a moment and said, "I want to get more complete information. Where is the drone's operation center and the route it flew through. And , who was the tester who controlled the drone at that time? Why did the aircraft fly over that area knowing that the situation there was unstable?"
"These have nothing to do with us. According to Raytheon's confidentiality principles, they will not provide us with relevant intelligence. They only need us to find the drone. Of course, in order to facilitate contact, Raytheon will appoint an expert to follow you. "Long Zhengwu said slowly.
"UAV experts, are you going to act with us?" Lin Rui was silent for a while and said, "But this is a battle, and Bullet doesn't know any UAV experts. The situation in Andila is complicated, and it is currently completely mired in war. , there are so many armed organizations of all kinds. Even more dangerous than Santuac."
"I understand what you mean. It is not easy to find a drone in this situation. What's more, we have to protect the so-called expert. But we have no other way." Silver Wolf said with a bitter smile.
"Why? Can't we just find the drone and return it to them? Let's be more relaxed. There is no need to protect a layman on the battlefield. Their experts can also be more relaxed, just sit at home and enjoy our services. Yes." Lin Rui frowned.
"Have you ever wondered why a drone with such a high level of confidentiality was tested in central Africa? Aren't they afraid of leaks before?" Long Zhengwu looked at Lin Rui and said.
"Yes, I think so too. What are these Raytheon people thinking, going to Africa to test drones?" Lin Rui frowned.
"This is actually a long-distance cross-state flight. This is a large-scale drone. It carries more than 7 tons of fuel, has a maximum range of 30,000 kilometers, and an autonomous flight time of more than 40 hours. It can completely fly across the country. Intercontinental flight." Silver Wolf said slowly, "Originally, this drone took off from Israel and entered central Africa. The reason why they are not worried about leaks is because there is a self-destruction device on the drone."
"Is there a self-destruction device on the drone?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Yes, originally this self-destruction device would explode after the console sends a signal, or automatically detonate within three hours after losing contact with the console. But for some reasons that are not yet known, this self-destruction device did not It has not been activated." Silver Wolf said slowly, "Otherwise they don't have to worry so much."
"Maybe someone removed the self-destruct device." Lin Rui thought for a while and said.
"This is impossible. The reason why the self-destruction device can become the last insurance for advanced drone technology is because it cannot be dismantled. Even real bomb experts cannot dismantle this self-destruction device." Silver Wolf shook his head. He said, "The self-destruction device is designed to interact with the black box. Any attempt to dismantle the black box will detonate immediately."
"Damn it, who designed this thing?" Lin Rui said helplessly.
"So, the drone expert must go with you. Unless he disables the self-destruction device on site, you can't even think about dismantling the black box." Silver Wolf looked at him and said.
¡°I started to feel less happyLove this mission. Lin Rui said with a bitter smile.
"We don't like this mission either, but we all like Raytheon's money." Long Zhengwu said with a smile, "Go back and prepare. Gather your team members and formulate a plan. You will be leaving the day after tomorrow at the latest."
Lin Rui sighed and said, "Okay. But what kind of support can I get?"
"The latest satellite communication system has been set up. We can give you any information support you need." Long Zhengwu said, "Even if you are far away in Africa."
"This is good news." Lin Rui nodded, "But what about our weapons and how should we get there?"
"You don't have to think about armament at all. This time we are working for the world's fifth largest military industrial company. Whatever you need, Raytheon can get it, and many of them are even produced by them. As for the aircraft, you don't need to think too much. They will be responsible for airdropping your entire team to the predetermined location." Long Zhengwu explained, "This operation, it sounds like they hired us. But in fact it is equivalent to a joint operation."
"The service from Raytheon Company is so attentive?" Lin Rui smiled.
"Actually, they want to limit your access to other confidential information as much as possible. That's why they seem to be thinking about us everywhere, but in fact they are monitoring and restricting us everywhere.
¡°Actually, you don¡¯t have to be angry at all, it would be the same with me. Because once the prototype test data flows into the black market, its value will never be low. Naturally, they won't just trust mercenaries like us. Not to mention us, even their internal members are not trusted. This is the character of these large military-industrial enterprises. They never trust people. "Yinlang said with a smile.
