A battle without suspense.
More than a dozen drones followed the central air conditioning duct and quickly arrived at the fourth, fifth, and sixth floors controlled by terrorists. They identified the location of the hostages through the probe camera and ambushed directly above the terrorists' heads.
On the Malaysian anti-terrorist force's side, based on the situation detected by the drones, they immediately formulated a detailed combat plan. They were divided into five groups and launched attacks at the weakest parts of the building at the same time.
With the help of the drone's sudden attack, more than thirty special forces soldiers rushed into the building at lightning speed. They killed several terrorists in succession and ended the battle in just eighty seconds.
All 79 hostages were rescued. Eight of the ten terrorists were killed on the spot, and the remaining two were captured.
Yes, there were a total of ten terrorists.
The intelligence of the Malaysian police was wrong. There were more than nine hostages. One person hid explosives in his jacket and disguised as a tourist with the hostages.
If it weren't for Celestial Trade's Beta-2 police drone that responded quickly enough to kill the terrorist who tried to detonate the explosives, the hostage rescue operation would have ended in failure.
Because of the help of the Beta-2 drone, the hostage crisis was resolved without any mishaps.
Afterward, the Malaysian Prime Minister and the Malaysian King repeatedly 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 drone that showed its power in the hostage rescue and gave it high praise!
The New York Times on the other side of the ocean even gave it the evaluation of "anti-terrorist artifact".
Any gratitude would be meaningless. If it wasn't for the obvious benefit, Jiang Chen wouldn't have helped them out of boredom.
Sure enough, just after he negotiated the power export agreement and the construction plan for the submarine transmission cable with TNB, the Malaysian police chief found him and hoped to order a batch of Beta-2 drones from Future Heavy Industries.
The total value of this order was more than 20 million XND.
The 20 million XND order was not a lot for Future Heavy Industries, but it was undoubtedly a good start. For a long time, the police drones produced by Future Heavy Industries that could carry light weapons were unable to enter the overseas market. Compared to foreign companies, police departments of various countries were more inclined to cooperate with domestic equipment suppliers.
This hostage incident was undoubtedly a good promotion for Future Heavy Industries' Beta-2 drone.
With the cooperation of Beta-2, the Malaysian Special Forces rescued 79 hostages from the well-equipped terrorists at the cost of zero casualties. Even in the world's successful counter-terrorism operations, this could be regarded as a proud achievement.
Countries plagued by terrorism would certainly be interested in Future Heavy Industries' Beta-2 drone.
…
Hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, on the Moon colony, more than a dozen Moon Dust machines were plowing around an open space the size of a football field. Steel frames were set up one after another, and workers in spacesuits moved between the various building materials like kangaroos, using low-power metal jet welding guns to fix the materials together.
At the center of the construction site was a hexagonal platform.
On the outer shell that was as dark as the universe, there were small bulges that looked like scales. Each protrusion was about the size of a thumb, neatly arranged into a net that covered the entire hexagonal shell.
"… Connection is normal."
With a long sigh, Lu Fan raised his hand and wiped his forehead.
He wasn't really sweating, it was just his habitual action when he solved a big problem, but this time, he touched the heavy helmet.
Lu Fan took a moment to process the situation, then he put the equipment into the toolbox and prepared to return to the Moon colony.
It has been more than a week since he arrived here.
The closer he was to the universe, the more insignificant he felt.
After the initial novelty, Lu Fan also began to miss life on Earth, just like the colony director said. The feeling of his legs being bound to the ground by gravity could only be felt in the gravity chamber.
After passing through the buffer chamber, he hung his spacesuit at the door, took out his ID card, swiped it on the scanner, and then took a can of coffee from the vending machine. He still needed to pay in space, but his salary was several times higher than on Earth, so there was no need to be careful when shopping.
At this time, a middle-aged man also passed through the buffer chamber and entered the colony. After he saw Lu Fan, he greeted him.
"How do you feel?"
"Not bad," Lu Fan said casually, "I feel like I came to Australia and became a kangaroo."
The middle-aged man laughed and put the toolbox next to him.
"Yes, we are all kangaroos. Speaking of which, have you been to Australia? The kangaroos there are really interesting. I mean in the zoo, the wild ones are not friendly at all. "
"I haven't been there. Maybe after three months, I will consider going." Lu Fan squeezed his eyebrows. "I will learn the experience of kangaroo jumping from them."
"Hahaha …!"
The middle-aged man was his boss, He Biao, the director of the Colonial Power Department. Although he was his boss, there was no concept of superiors and subordinates here. The current size of the colony was more than 500 people. Although new people would join every once in a while, it was still a small place.
There were only twenty people in the entire power department.
These twenty power engineers supported the entire colony's power grid from the living units to the soilless cultivation room.
The two packed up their things and prepared to go to the colony cafeteria for lunch. To maintain a good schedule on the Moon, one could only constantly check the time through their watch and tell themselves when it was time to sleep and eat.
Lu Fan ordered a plate of curry beef in the cafeteria and sat across from He Biao. Sitting in his position, he could see the construction site outside the window.
Lu Fan frowned slightly and asked the question he had been wondering.
"What do you think … that thing is?"
He Biao paused and looked at him strangely.
"You mean the one outside? You don't know? "
Lu Fan shook his head.
"No one told me. Is it a secret within the company?"
He Biao smiled and shook his head.
"It's not really a secret because it will be put into use soon. But some time ago, the relevant information about that thing was indeed a Class A secret. "
Lu Fan felt the curiosity in his heart grow stronger.
"What is it?"
"A device that can convert electricity into light energy and transmit it hundreds of thousands of kilometers away."
"How is this possible!" Lu Fan exclaimed.
Seeing the other people in the cafeteria looking over, he quickly lowered his head and lowered his voice.
He Biao looked at his subordinate's reckless look and grinned.
"Nothing is impossible. Although I was more surprised than you when I first heard of this thing. But after seeing the entire design drawings, you won't think that way. "
As he spoke, he cast his gaze out the window and spoke with some fascination.
"If the trial operation goes smoothly, this will become the first specialty product from the Moon to Earth. And our colony will be able to completely remove the hat of burning money! "
