Test Flight of the Drone

Tang Rui turned on the computer.

He inserted the data cable into the main board interface of the avionic system and imported the avionic system.

In less than ten minutes, the entire avionic system was completed.

This avionic system had very high operational requirements.

After all, this was not your run-off-the-mill, off-the-shelf airplane model.

It was a real drone system.

Although it was a relatively simple drone system, it had everything it needed.

He opened the operating system interface on the computer and tested the drone through the keyboard.

There was no problem with the electro-optical system.

There were two enhanced cameras. One was above the original cockpit, which was a flight control camera. The other was below the nose, mainly for reconnaissance and photography. Thus, this lens could be zoomed and rotated 180 degrees.

There was no problem with the radar either. The progress and power had also been greatly improved.

The flight control system was even more sensitive. After the enhancement, high-precision telescopes and sensors were added to monitor the flight attitude in real time.

“It’s just that this operation is a little troublesome.”

There was nothing wrong with the system, but the operation was simply tedious.

He slapped his thigh.

How could he have forgotten about the lever?

He took out a box from the room, which contained Logitech’s flight controller.

This set of flight controls and rudders cost him more than two thousand.

He connected several data cables and pushed the control stick.

Yes.

There was no reaction.

It was normal because the system was incompatible.

He knew how to make the system compatible, but he definitely couldn’t write code.

But it didn’t matter.

Who asked him to have a cheat?

“Add points.”

In the end, Tang Rui still chose to use the source points and strengthen the avionic system (software).

He consumed 1 origin point.

The entire system changed drastically.

The avionic system screen, which originally had no user interface experience, became very sci-fi-like.

All the function bars and sub-pages became simple and perfect, and all the data was displayed on the computer screen.

Tang Rui held the control stick and stepped on the rudder. The drone immediately gave feedback.

The ailerons, elevators, and rudder all responded at the same time. It was very smooth.

He looked at the last two points on the system interface.

He did not plan to keep it either.

Directly improve the engine.

In the end, he only spent 1 Origin Point to improve the engine, which was much cheaper than the avionic system.

He added the remaining 1 Origin Point to the energy system.

The drone’s overall improvements were completed.

On the system interface’s experience bar, the indication that it could not be leveled up finally disappeared.

[Item: Exquisite fixed-wing drone +3]

[EXP: 163/12000]

[Enhancement: Body, avionics, engine, power]

[Origin: 0]

After the overall strengthening, the experience points for upgrading the drone also increased.

But it didn’t matter.

As long as he could still level up, everything was fine.

Tang Rui grabbed the drone and prepared to carry it downstairs.

In the end, not only did he not pick it up, but he also almost sprained his waist.

“Is it that heavy?”

He weighed his hands.

The entire drone weighed at least 40 kilograms, which was about 100 pounds smaller.

With his physique, it was difficult enough to carry 50 catties of rice, let alone a drone that weighed nearly 100.

‘F*ck…’

Tang Rui bared his teeth, held his waist, and looked at the drone on the workbench, a little speechless.

He pondered for a while.

He took out his luggage from his room.

First, he put the computer, the control stick, the steering wheel, the signal antenna, the backup battery, and other things into the suitcase. Then, he put the drone in.

He dragged his luggage and left the house.

Fortunately, there was an elevator.

If there wasn’t, he would have had to hire someone to help him.

They arrived at the basement parking lot.

Tang Rui dragged the trolley case to the back of a dilapidated Harvard H6 and opened the trunk.

This was a second-hand car. The original owner had already driven for more than 100,000 kilometers.

However, he did not mind.

Anyway, it was just a means of transportation. It was fine as long as it could be driven.

He stuffed the drone and suitcase into the car before leaving the neighborhood.

At this time, the square had long been occupied by the elderly folk who had finished their meals.

This meant that if he wanted to test the drone, he had to find another place.

Cuckoo…

As soon as he drove out of the neighborhood, his stomach protested.

He didn’t eat lunch.

The food that he ate in the morning had long been digested.

He had been busy before.

He was very focused, so he didn’t feel anything.

Now that he was driving, he felt empty and hungry.

However, he was not in the mood to eat.

Therefore, he found a bun shop by the roadside and bought a few buns.

It was merely edible.

It was fine as long as he was not hungry.

Tang Rui drove the car and arrived at Laoshan Forest Park.

He did not enter the park.

Instead, they followed the winding mountain road in the forest park and drove straight into the mountains.

He also bought a 40-liter barrel of diesel at the gas station near the mountain pass.

Tang Rui followed the winding mountain road for more than ten minutes and arrived at an observation deck.

This observation deck was built on the slope of a small mountain. It sported a magnificent view of the surrounding area, overlooking half of the forest below.

There was no one on the observation deck at that time.

Who would run into the deep mountains in the middle of the night?

Was there something wrong with him?

However, there were ready-made seats and empty platforms here, which made it a suitable spot to test a drone.

Tang Rui parked the car by the side, but he didn’t turn off the engine and headlights.

After all, there were only two dim solar-powered lights here, and the surroundings were pitch-black.

If he didn’t turn on the car lights, it would really be a little scary.

Just as Tang Rui finished adjusting the equipment and filled the drone with fuel to prepare for the test, raindrops suddenly fell from the sky.

“Is it raining?”

He took out his phone and opened the weather forecast. It was indeed going to rain tonight. He had not paid attention to it before.

But it didn’t matter.

The drone was not some scale model, so the rain shouldn’t be a problem.

Tang Rui placed the drone and hid in the observation deck. There was a canopy here, so he didn’t have to worry about getting wet.

He sat in front of the computer with his left hand on the accelerator and his right hand on the control stick. His feet were placed next to the steering wheel.

The avionic system was activated.

The engine started.

He released the brakes.

He pushed the throttle.

Boom!

Two blue exhaust flames spewed out from the engine of the drone.

If one looked closely, one could even see the Mach rings in the exhaust flames.

The powerful thrust sent the drone flying.

Tang Rui hurriedly pulled up the control stick and pulled up the nose of the plane.

Whoosh…

The drone rotated at a high angle and flew straight into the sky.

“The thrust of the engine enhanced by the system is too powerful.”

He was shocked just now.

If not for his quick reaction, he would have pulled the control stick.

If he hesitated, the drone would rush out of the viewing platform and dive into the forest.

With this thrust, if he added support to the drone, it could take off vertically like a rocket.

It was still the same concept.

As long as there was sufficient thrust, even bricks could fly.

Tang Rui handled the drone and maintained it at 700 feet.

It was not that the drone could not fly high, but he did not dare to.

The radar could not scan at all at an altitude of 700 feet and in a mountainous area.

He activated the map scanning function of the drone and generated a three-dimensional simulation map of the surface in real-time.

Looking at the three-dimensional simulation map on the computer screen, he controlled the drone and began to shuttle between the mountains and valleys.

It was an amazing sensation.

Occasionally, he would fly a few maneuvers or push the throttle to experience the thrill of flying at high speed.

Unknowingly, the drone had already flown 20 kilometers.

Roar…

The rain outside was getting heavier.

Tang Rui thought for a moment and directly turned off the low-light camera and turned on the infrared thermal imaging.

Just as the infrared thermal imaging system was turned on, a bunch of human-shaped red dots suddenly appeared on the screen.

Hmm?

What was going on?

It was raining heavily, and they were in the deep mountains and forests. What were these people doing?
