In the office of Ange Island High-Tech Zone, the newly appointed park director, Zhong Wei, shook his head with a troubled expression after hearing Jiang Chen's instructions.
"The production of beta civilian drones will remain unchanged, and the monthly production of hummingbird military drones will be increased to 100,000 units … It's too messy."
Beta drones were easier to deal with. Although this kind of rotor drone used a lot of cutting-edge technology, it didn't take up a lot of production capacity. However, for a high-tech product like the hummingbird drone, many components, including the engine, could only be produced through 3D printers.
Fortunately, there was an industrial-grade 3D printer that could print in batches. Otherwise, it would be a problem to complete the industrial production of hummingbird drones.
"The group's laboratory has completed the industrial design plan. In the future, the mass production of hummingbird drones can no longer rely on limited 3D printers. The first batch of production equipment can be shipped into the park tomorrow," Jiang Chen said.
"Completed? That's great! In that case, it should be feasible! "Zhong Wei was relieved when he heard the good news.
The number of industrial-grade 3D printers was limited. Although it could be used to replace the production of key parts for emergencies, it seriously limited the output and production costs.
"At the end of this month, I will talk to the Xin government to double the area of the Ange Island Industrial Zone, and the newly expanded park will be completely used for military production. At the same time, the military project of Future Heavy Industries will be split and managed by the newly established subsidiary, Future Military. "
After a pause, Jiang Chen continued in a serious tone.
"The company's next development priorities are two, one is space, and the other is military. Put more effort into Future Military. "
"Roger!" Zhong Wei said solemnly.
Drones were the protagonists in future wars and the main force of Celestial Trade's combat units. At present, there were a total of 15,000 soldiers serving on New Moon Island, and as many as 200,000 hummingbird drones serving Celestial Trade, forming a terrifying ratio of 1: 13 to soldiers.
In the modern world where EMP weapons were not widely deployed, drone swarm tactics were quite effective.
The situation on MLL Island deteriorated, and the friction with the Freemasonry escalated. Only a powerful force could maintain the core interests of Future Group in Asia and even the world.
…
At the end of May, Ayesha successfully returned to Xin with the Droplet.
She also returned with Catherine, a Ghost Agent operating in Europe, and Evelyn, who was locked in a hibernation chamber. The existence of Droplet must be kept secret. Except for the Ghost Agents and Xia Shiyu, no one knew of its existence.
The Droplet stopped at the port of Coconut Island. Ayesha and Catherine dragged out the hibernation chamber and threw it on the beach in front of the port. Then they reported the news of their arrival to Jiang Chen.
After a while, two yachts appeared on the sea. Jiang Chen took several Celestial Trade soldiers to Coconut Island and released Evelyn from the hibernation chamber.
As Evelyn had to be injected with the suppressant before entering the hibernation chamber, he staggered out of the chamber as soon as the door opened. Before he could steady himself, he immediately vomited.
"Ugh — what the hell, huh — did you guys shove me into the pork freezer?" Evelyn took the tissue from Jiang Chen's bodyguard, wiped his mouth, and took a few breaths before he recovered.
"Of course not. The freezer that delivers pork can't keep people standing there for more than a week without eating or drinking." Jiang Chen patted him on the shoulder and continued, "Welcome to Coro Island. The Xin government will provide you with political asylum. Corruption, bribery, murder, a total of more than 20 charges. Life in hiding must not be easy. "
"That's blatant slander!" Evelyn cursed angrily. "They will bring Frankberg into the abyss!"
Jiang Chen comforted him and ordered the bodyguard to send him to a safe place.
Evelyn's current identity was special. If it was exposed in Xin, it would inevitably cause a lot of unnecessary trouble. Jiang Chen originally planned to negotiate with Natasha. After he arrived in Xin, he would directly send him on a plane to Moscow. But what he didn't expect was that Natasha, who was supposed to be on Coro Island two weeks ago, only ended her disappearance yesterday and was now on a plane to Coro Island.
Therefore, Evelyn had to stay in a small dark room on Coro Island for a few days.
Watching Evelyn leave under the escort of Celestial Trade's bodyguards, Jiang Chen looked at Ayesha on the side, and a warm smile bloomed on his face. Catherine saw this scene, stuck out her tongue, and consciously ran to the dock.
Soon, only the two of them were left on the island.
The surroundings were quiet, and only the sound of waves washing the beach and palm leaves could be heard.
Ayesha walked up and wrapped her arms around Jiang Chen's neck. She stood on her tiptoes and gently kissed him on the lips. Then she rested her face on his shoulder.
As the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder. This faint and sweet feeling was wonderful.
Jiang Chen carefully savored the tranquility around him. He stroked her chestnut-colored hair, pushed aside the hair around her ear, and whispered in her ear.
"Did you miss me?"
"Mhmm."
Although it was only a short word, it conveyed an indescribable feeling.
The tranquil atmosphere lasted for quite a while as the two embraced each other.
Feeling the increasingly hot temperature on his chest, Jiang Chen spoke again and broke the tranquil atmosphere.
"… Do you want to sit on the water drop for a while?"
"Mhmm."
A happy smile bloomed on her face as she buried her face deep into Jiang Chen's shoulder. She allowed Jiang Chen's hands to wrap around her knees and carry her to the dock where the "Droplet" was docked.
The next day, Jiang Chen returned to Coro Island with Ayesha and went straight back to his mansion.
At the door, he saw Natasha with a suitcase. She looked like she had been waiting for a long time.
When she saw Jiang Chen and Ayesha, who had a happy expression on her face, Natasha didn't hide the dissatisfaction in her heart. She swung her blonde hair and raised the watch on her wrist.
"You made a lady wait for half an hour after she got off the plane."
"Sorry, I was a little late on my way back." Jiang Chen smiled shamelessly, took out the electronic key, and opened the door.
The metal door retreated to both sides, and Natasha walked in without hesitation. She crossed the stone road on the lawn and walked into the living room. She felt like she was in her own home. She put the suitcase aside and went straight to the refrigerator in the kitchen.
Looking at the back of the figure that went straight to the kitchen, Jiang Chen just smiled and didn't say anything.
He wasn't used to vodka, which had a high alcohol content. It was better to say that the stuff in the fridge was prepared for him since he often visited. By the way, the low-alcohol fruit-flavored champagne was prepared for Xia Shiyu.
"It's so hot standing outside!" With the shiny bottle in her hand, Natasha fanned her somewhat soaked collar and sat down on the sofa in the living room. She crossed her shapely legs without any defense. "Tell me, why did you ask me to come?"
Ayesha went to the kitchen, and Jiang Chen sat down across from Natasha.
"My business is not urgent. You should rest first. Right, what did you do in Russia these days? "
"Are you concerned about me?" A smile appeared on Natasha's face.
"No, just chatting." Jiang Chen shrugged and joked.
Natasha rolled her eyes at Jiang Chen and picked up the remote control on the table. She pressed the button on the TV in the living room and changed to the news channel.
She took a sip of vodka and sank into the sofa lazily. She waved her hand.
"Just look at the news yourself."
