Metal Ranger of the Endless Plane

"Alarms, alarms, reconnaissance units are attacked, C-04, D-02, 04, F and G teams are silent except for the host!"

When Lu Yuan was observing the information sent by the reconnaissance plane ahead, he suddenly heard an alarm from the command unit of the reconnaissance plane on the communication channel.

"Emergency plan No. 3 has been activated and evacuation is dispersed."

"A-01 will upload the reconnaissance data first, and the communication channel will be occupied."

"Countdown to 5, 4..."

Hearing that the drone AI is about to occupy the communication channel to transmit data back and forth, Lu Yuan hurriedly said, "A-01, cancel the mission."

"The mission is cancelled, the countdown is aborted." AI quickly responded.

Lu Yuan only breathed a sigh of relief. While continuing to check the latest information, he continued to say to that side, "A-01, create a new mission plan."

"First, continue to upload reconnaissance data under the premise that the communication channel is unobstructed."

"Second, give priority to the transmission of nearly sixty seconds of data records."

"Third, the status of all command units has been adjusted from'infiltration reconnaissance' to'battlefield evacuation.'"

"The plan is entered and executed immediately!"

After speaking, Lu Yuan switched the screen on the command vehicle from the actual video data to the real-time dynamics of the battlefield. He looked at the several light spots representing the reconnaissance aircraft deep in the plain area, and quickly switched the flight path.

"The task plan has been entered and is being executed." A-01's reply also sounded immediately.

"The command unit status has been switched."

"Data upload and recovery, the transmission speed has reached its peak."

"The relevant data has been uploaded within 60 seconds."

"Very good." Lu Yuan nodded, and immediately asked the intelligence processing module on the command vehicle to feed back the latest reconnaissance intelligence to the real-time dynamic map of the battlefield, and simulate what would happen during an unmanned reconnaissance attack.

Seeing the green flying units on the battlefield quickly drove the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft from various inconspicuous angles, the latter quickly fell silent, Lu Yuan couldn't help but snorted, "Sure enough, these pterodactyls are faster! "

"Swallow, it's time for you to play!"

"Understood!" The gearing swallow replied immediately.

Yanzi currently leads the air combat drones organized by two aviation squadrons, with about 50 fighters.

Like unmanned reconnaissance drones, the so-called "software" of these air combat drones is actually flight control programs, etc. It is also based on the flight data accumulated by Surge, Siafi, and Rosecroft, through the depth of Lu Yuan on hand. Techniques such as learning algorithms are transformed.

Of course, the AI-related technologies that Lu Yuan has mastered can enable these air combat drones to perform at least as powerful as veteran pilots of the U.S. Air Force under the command of someone.

But if there is no one to command, such as occupying the communication bandwidth like the previous reconnaissance UAV A-01 wanted to do, then these UAVs only have the function of a few predetermined templates, and their survivability on the flexible and changeable battlefield. Not too high.

Simply put, they can be used as auxiliary tools, but they cannot be used as the main core.

The best way to use it is to let a command plane lead a certain number of drones into battle. For example, the way to take the Dragon UAV is far away.

But in this way, there are some shortages of manpower that can serve as air force commanders. You can't put everyone else in the sky.

Moreover, the situation of those ground units is actually similar to that of drones in the sky, and they also need someone to command nearby.

Fortunately, this problem is also easy to solve for Lu Yuan.

After all, how did Surge, Siafi and Rosecuff show up?

The tinder box that can create electronic lifeforms was a bit expensive for Luyuan at the beginning, but for Luyuan, which has now spent thousands of points to create an army of drones, it’s really, not counted. what.

Therefore, after using dozens of fire boxes to create some electronic lifeforms with a slightly lower level of intelligence than the surge, but also sufficient, the problem of the lack of battlefield squad commanders in the Luyuan UAV Army was simply solved with money. NS.

For example, the previous reconnaissance drone AI, A-01, is such an electronic lifeform.

It can also be seen from the way of dialogue with Lu Yuan that these electronic lifeforms were directly trained by Lu Yuan as basic-level military officers or even noncommissioned officers. He did not intend to develop these into the kind of escape guys that surged.

On the one hand, he doesn't want his lair to be too "lively" in the future. Surge and Rosecuff are enough to be noisy. Otherwise, why would Lu Yuan throw these two to Turner and Swallows respectively?

On the other hand, emotions are also a huge burden for the computing power of electronic life forms.

If these electronic lifeforms, which are much inferior to surge performance, also learn the full human nature of surge, their energy allocated to serious work will be greatly reduced.

This is what Lu Yuan didn't want to see.

As for how they actually performed, at least for this stage, Lu Yuan is still satisfied.

Soon, shortly after the reconnaissance aircraft formation retreated, the Swallow’s air combat drones also took off. As a response to the reconnaissance aircraft, they rose into the air from the dense forest of the East Madre Mountains and flew to the northeast of Maihekou Bay. Along the coast.

With their ultimate flying speed, they will be able to encounter the reconnaissance aircraft formation in about ten minutes.

On the reconnaissance plane, because of the strategy of retracement on the battlefield, the drones changed their flight attitudes to maintain stability and upload data. Instead, they chose a more agile way, like a loach, without slipping. Hand to avoid the enhanced version of the pterodactyl attack.

But even so, these enhanced pterodactyl capabilities are quite good, and there are still a few drones that have no command of their own and are simply remotely controlled by their enhanced wing blades to cut off the onboard computer.

These speed-enhanced pterodactyls do not have lizardman cavalry on their backs. Their attack methods are similar to the sharp wings of Luyuan's first version of the Dragon UAV to chip away at the enemy.

And the only thing that can be cut by their sharp wings can only be the same flying in the air, not as fast as them, or the enemy who actively leaned in to give away their heads.

It can be said that these enhanced pterodactyls are also pure air combat troops.

At least if they dare to cut Turner's main battle tanks on the ground, not to mention that they can't cut them, even if they can cut something, I'm afraid they will fall to the ground and die.

In addition, Lu Yuan has verified this attack method at the beginning, and they are effective when facing most air enemies. After all, in most cases, because it is light enough, the strength of the unit that can fly into the air is generally not too high.

But this kind of tactics also has a huge weakness, that is, since its attack method is the impact cutting of the body's sharp edge, according to the conservation of energy, each successful attack will cause their own kinetic energy to decrease.

In other words, every time they hit each other, they will inevitably slow down their speed.

At this time, they have become the weakest cubs in the herd, and natural living targets for predators.
