Chapter 959 - Drone Orders (1/2)

It was a battle without suspense.

Ten drones followed the central air-conditioning duct and quickly arrived at the fourth, fifth, and sixth floors controlled by the terrorists. They identified the location of the hostages through the camera and ambushed above the head of the terrorists.

The Malaysia counter-terrorism forces immediately formulated an execution plan based on the intelligence detected by the drone. They divided into five teams and attacked the weak parts of the building, and began their operations simultaneously.

With the cooperation of the sudden attack by drones, more than 30 special forces rushed into the building with lightning speed, killing several terrorists and ended the battle in just eighty seconds.

All 79 hostages were rescued, eight of the terrorists were killed on the spot and the remaining two were captured.

Yes, there were a total of ten terrorists.

The Malaysia police’s information was incorrect. There were more than nine terrorists, one of the terrorist disguised themselves as a tourist and stayed together with the other hostages with explosives in his jacket.

If it was not for beta-2 police drone’s quick reaction in executing the terrorist attempting to detonate the explosives, this hostage rescue operation may have ended in failure.

Thanks to the help of the beta-2 drone, the hostage crisis was solved.

Afterwards, the prime minister and King of Malaysia expressed their gratitude to Jiang Chen and Celestial Trade for their help. All the media that arrived at the scene also expressed their amazement at the police drones that contributed greatly in the hostages rescue!

The Nouveau York Times on the other side of the ocean even gave the drone a name of “anti-terrorism holy grail”.

Gratitude was just gratitude after, if it were not for the benefits after, Jiang Chen was not be that bored to give out a helping hand.

Sure enough, just after he and TNB negotiated the power export agreement and the construction of the submarine transmission cable, the Malaysian police chief came to see him, hoping to order a batch of beta-2 drones.

The total value of the order was over 20 million XND.

The 20 million XND order was not a big order to Future Heavy Industries, but it was definitely a good start. For a long time, this kind of police drone with the capability to carry light weapons was unable to penetrate into the foreign market. Compared to working with foreign companies, the police departments were more inclined to work with domestic equipment suppliers.

This hostage incident undoubtedly brought good publicity for the beta-2 drone.

With the cooperation of beta-2, the Malaysia Special Forces suffered no casualties and rescued all 79 hostages from terrorists equipped with sophisticated gears. Even among the cases of success story in counter-terrorism operations around the world, this would be considered an impressive achievement.

The countries plagued by terrorism would certainly be interested in the beta-2 drones.

…

Hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, on the Lunar Colony, more than a dozen vehicles were working around a football-field-sized open space. The steel frame was being built, and the workers in spacesuits moved around the construction materials like kangaroos. They attached the frame together with a low-power metal jet welding torches.

At the center of the site was a hexagonal platform.

On a dark and sturdy outer shell were scaly drums. Each of the protrusions was about the size of a thumb and they were neatly arranged into a net that covered the entire hexagonal outer casing.

“…the connection is normal.”

With a sigh of relief, Lu Fan raised his hand and rubbed his forehead.

He was not really sweating. It was just a habit he has whenever he solved a big problem. But this time, he touched a heavy helmet.

Still processing his action, Lu Fan immediately smiled awkwardly and tossed the device into the toolbox, ready to return to the colony.

It had been more than a week since he came here.

The closer you are to the universe, the more miniscule you feel.

After the initial craze, Lu Fan began to remember his life on Earth just as the director had said. The feeling of legs bound to the ground by gravity could only be felt in the gravity chamber.
