After Batman left the prison, Chu Cheng quickly quit the game and checked the development progress of the technology module.
"Friday, how's our second batch of drones going?"
"In the development process." Friday said, "only thirty-two have been completed so far. And the first stage of testing is still in progress, and there may still be places that need to be debugged.
In addition, according to the plan, the raw materials for the second batch of drones are not yet in place. Some materials have been used up, we may need to wait for the next batch of materials to be in place to complete. "
Chu Cheng frowned slightly.
Leicheng is a small place, a bit far from Jiangdu, so it wasn't on Chu Cheng's watch list for the time being. If we proceed slowly step by step according to the original plan, it should be a long time before Chu Cheng dispatches heroes to take down the city.
The tragedy that happened in Tixon Prison forced him to notice this place in advance. A slayer with phantom abilities is an imminent threat, and every second of delay could cause mass casualties.
Chu Cheng quickly realized that this was a good opportunity to test his new deployment - the efficiency of the drone network he built in finding specific targets. However, as said on Friday, the Starry Sky Technical Committee is helping them prepare a new batch of materials, and it is expected to arrive in two days.
But it's not a big problem.
"First launch all the remaining thirty-two drones to Leicheng." Chu Cheng ordered, "Then temporarily transfer them from Wendelani's drone formation according to how far the coverage network is."
"It's been done, sir."
While speaking, the watchtower on the orbit of the Earth Star has opened the hatch again. More than 30 drones broke through the atmosphere in a neat formation, locked on the direction of Leicheng and dived.
At the same time, part of the drones patrolling the streets and alleys of Wendelani also separated, and the propellers were fully opened and accelerated towards the other end of the horizon, heading towards Leicheng. The rest of the drones intelligently adjusted their patrol routes, including as much as possible the vacant part of the coverage network into their field of vision.
Of course none of this happened. They are in an invisible state throughout the whole process, whether it is the public, the government or the underground world, no one is aware of the changes in the invisible electronic monitoring network around them.
"And the facial recognition program I mentioned?" Chu Cheng continued to ask.
"It was just completed ten minutes ago. Mr. Stark programmed it himself," said Friday. "We have applied the most advanced facial recognition algorithm we currently hold, and its accuracy and efficiency are ahead of the world's most advanced technology by an entire generation."
"Okay, upload it to the central server and let each drone download the program." Chu Cheng said, "Let's see how it works."
"Okay, sir."
The transmission efficiency is also very fast, and all drones are downloaded in an instant. And as the first prisoner who was honored to test this algorithm, Yaslan Khalifa's facial recognition data was quickly uploaded to the center, and it was set as the highest query priority of all drones.
The area of Leicheng was originally small, and the drone formation quickly completed full coverage of the city. They hide their whereabouts and walk through high-rise buildings, streets and alleys. The most sophisticated scanners are like the eyes of countless hunters, scanning every corner of the entire city.
The test was even smoother than Chu Cheng imagined.
Ten minutes after the drones were deployed, one of the machines sounded an alarm. The invisible camera captured the murderous face of Yaslan Khalifa at a distance that almost blurred the face.
He wore a wide-brimmed hat, a pair of silly sunglasses covering his eyes, and his collar was pulled high, but he was still recognized by Stark's facial recognition software.
"I think we have found our purpose, sir."
"Very good. Keep the drone ready with its weapon just in case, but don't disturb him, follow behind and wait for him to make sure he doesn't get away."
Chu Cheng said that he had already started logging in, and after loading for a while, he entered the hero selection interface.
Although his drone is a simplified version of the movie, it is also equipped with a certain amount of firepower. It's just that the target has a phantom and may also have supernatural powers. Drones may not be able to handle it, and rash actions may not only scare the snake, but also hurt innocent people.
Because the whole point of this network is surveillance, it's important that all drones remain invisible. Once a drone comes into view openly, they will attract attention and in the long run affect the development of the entire system.
They work best only if they remain invisible at all times. They watch over everyone, but no one needs to know they exist.
That's why Chu Cheng didn't dress up to strengthen the drone's firepower configuration.
"Send Agent Luo a text message, he won't miss it," Chu Cheng said.
"Okay, sir."
…
Leicheng Central Plaza.
One of the few bustling locations in this small city is considered by some citizens to be the only address where you can find the feeling of a big city in this entire place.
There is a ring-shaped flower bed in the center, surrounded by perennial neon lights and electronic billboards. Popular movie stars are posing on the billboards, and the streets are full of people even in the dead of night.
Aslan Khalifa walked into the largest shopping mall on the square, fully armed under a large windbreaker.
This is the place Iwanaga Naoya and he chose, located in the center of the entire city, the most noteworthy place, and it will also be the address of the city's headlines tomorrow.
"Go in and do what you want, then come out right away."
Iwanaga Naoya explained when he asked his assistant to hand over a plan to Aslan.
"My people have already arranged an escape route for you. According to our estimates, you have up to fifteen minutes before the Sheriff's Department and some other troublesome guys arrive. After that, just follow the plan and you can... ..”
"I don't need that kind of thing." Aslan snorted softly, not intending to accept his proposal.
"...Well, I appreciate your confidence." Iwanaga Naoya smiled, "But based on my experience? There is always no harm in having multiple back roads."
After thinking for a while, Aslan didn't say anything, but he still accepted the proposal.
But as he said, he didn't think he'd use it.
Now he has acquired extraordinary strength, stronger than ever.
"Sir~www.mtlnovel.com~ The security at the entrance of the shopping mall stopped him.
"Please take off your hat and sunglasses. These are extraordinary times and exceptional circumstances."
"Oh, special circumstances, of course."
Aslan raised his head, smiled at the security guard, and raised his gun at the same time.
"I guess I'm that 'special case.'"
But he never dreamed that the security guard caught his gunman in a very quick reaction, made a perfect catch, and pulled it with amazing force. Aslan was in pain, and the gun in his hand fell to the ground.
He was taken aback, and looked at the security guard in front of him in astonishment. A burst of light blue ripples rolled over the security guard, and in the next second a huge bat with a height of 1.8 meters appeared in front of him.
"Interesting." Batman said coldly, "Then I think I should be your 'special case'."
