Late at night in October was destined to be an extraordinary night.
Hua Xia, the giant Monster Industries, was being blackmailed by an armed leader far away in Africa.
Then, the two behemoths went into action.
Optical Star D was a low-orbit electronic detection satellite launched by Hua Xia last year.
This satellite was mainly used for land and resources research, urban planning, and vegetation observation. In addition, it also provided regional photography services for the countries it passed through.
To put it bluntly, this was a spy satellite.
During the International Summit two years ago, Hua Xia used this satellite's sister, Optical Star A, to take several photos of sensitive military areas in the United States as a congratulatory gift to the United States.
When dormant, Optical Star D took one day to orbit the Earth, which was the time it took for the Earth to rotate once.
There were still four hours and fifty-one minutes before Optical Star D would pass over Antiman. The ground telemetry station had already sent a series of commands to the satellite to change the angle and focus of the optical lens. When it flew over Uriel City, it would take photos of the Blue Helmet Camp on the edge of the city.
One hundred million US dollars with no serial numbers were also quickly transferred from the vaults of major banks. One hundred million US dollars weighed one ton and was prepared to be airlifted to Zhongyun Capital Airport by passenger plane.
At the same time, in Monster Industries.
Dian Jing took the lead to propose a solution to the first problem.
"Boss, of course we'll use the isotope tracking method."
"Didn't we mine a lot of uranium in the Sotu Rainforest? We'll extract some radioactive material and smear it on the banknotes and packages."
Dian Jing patted her chest confidently. "Coincidentally, the gas centrifuge has refined a batch of medium-enriched uranium with a purity of 40%. We just need to replace the buttons or zippers on the packages with enriched uranium. Within two kilometers, the isotope detector will be able to accurately pinpoint its location."
"We don't need electricity or any other electronic components. Just based on the susceptibility and penetrability of enriched uranium, even if the militants hide in the bunker, they'll leave an obvious trail of movement outside. "
"That's only two kilometers. We can't let you carry an instrument and follow behind them, right?" Ye Qing had initially considered this technology that only appeared in movies. In real life, there were only technical theories but no practical products.
Ye Qing did not even consider the effects of radioactive substances on people.
The main reason was that the distance of two kilometers was too short. This was also the reason why this kind of tracking technology was not used in real life.
A single GPS chip could locate the entire world. In most cases, when it came to isotope tracking, the trackers trusted their own eyes.
"Why do you want me to follow behind with the instrument?" Dian Jing was unhappy. "Boss, you can't send me to do such a dangerous job just because I can turn invisible."
"Don't we have the Vulture drone?"
"Install a device and fly above their heads." After saying that, Dian Jing rolled her eyes at Ye Qing and sniffed. "The factory has made a lot of Vulture drones. When the time comes, we'll airdrop a few."
The first problem was solved perfectly.
As for the second question, Ye Qing thought of the Watcher robot that was sent to the border to carry out the capture mission.
Forty minutes later, three vulture drones and a fifth-generation guardian robot that had been developed by Dian Jing were dismantled by the monsters.
There was also the Peregrine Falcon and two transport planes.
The airdrop equipment must be equipped with a special reduction parachute and a special airdrop shell.
Four hours later, a passenger plane carrying 100 million US dollars arrived at Zhongyun Airport.
Originally, Director Du Shuangyi wanted to send a few Air Force pilots to help fly the plane in case there were any accidents during the airdrop. However, Ye Qing declined the offer. The probability of an accident happening on the plane was very small. Moreover, the two Il-76 had also been modified. They needed time to familiarize themselves with the flight control environment.
There was no need for pilots. Director Du Shuangyi left two observers to carry out the airdrop plan. The two Il-76 acted as airdrops, and the Peregrine Falcon acted as a high-altitude electronic command plane.
Ye Qing wanted these bold criminals to understand that not only did Monster Industries never compromise, but they also never let go of any enemy.
…
Ten hours had passed since General Armon found Ye Qing to ask for the ransom.
General Armon, who had already changed his bunker, took the initiative to call Ye Qing's satellite phone. At this time, General Armon had already entered the role of a very competent robber.
"Mr. Ye, you still have 14 hours."
"Can I ask if my US dollars are on the way? From Hua Xia to Africa, I remember the flight time alone is 20 hours. If my US dollars are still in Hua Xia, I think I need to do something to remind Mr. Ye that time is precious to both of us. "
On the Peregrine Falcon, Ye Qing glanced at the flight position displayed on the screen next to him and smiled. "Don't worry, my two cargo planes left two hours ago. The flight information is public. You can check it from the airport tower."
"If everything goes well, the two cargo planes flying at maximum speed will enter the airspace of Antiman in 14 hours and 27 minutes."
"You have seen my sincerity."
"So now I need to know if the more than 300 Hua Xia employees are safe. And the girl named Martha, there is also money in the 100 million US dollars to buy her life. "
General Armon was silent for dozens of seconds before he finally gave a number and said that if he called this number, he could ask about the situation of the Hua Xia employees. In addition, he also told Ye Qing that when the two cargo planes entered Antiman's airspace, he would send the coordinates of the airdrop location.
Commander Phil was very inexperienced when he received a call from Ye Qing.
He didn't know what kind of benefits General Armon promised him to make the clear-headed Commander Phil choose to carry out this crazy plan with him.
"I … I can confirm the safety of these Hua Xia employees, but you … you only have two minutes of phone time, and you can only use English, not a single Chinese word, or else … or else …" Commander Phil's voice stuttered.
"Okay, I want to talk to Ambassador Yu Yong."
After a burst of noise, a tired but strong voice came from the phone. "Hello, I am Ambassador Yu Yong."
"Hello, Mr. Ambassador, I am Ye Qing, President of Monster Industries." Hearing the ambassador's calm voice, Ye Qing couldn't help but admire his strong spirit. At the same time, it gave Ye Qing a deeper sense of responsibility.
"Mr. Ambassador, time is of the essence, so let's cut to the chase. I have reached an agreement with General Armon to exchange your freedom and everyone's freedom through monetary exchange. "
"You don't have to ask for the exact amount. When you return safely, you will know the details."
"Now, I want to confirm if you and everyone are okay?"
"Not too bad." Ambassador Yu Yong sighed. "Thank you, Mr. Ye, for your selfless help. Now, the rest of my compatriots and I are staying in the military camp. Including Martha and me, no one is missing. Now, everyone's mental state is a bit low, but I believe that we can still hold on for a while. "
"In fourteen hours, I will make the deal with them."
"Mr. Ambassador, please bear with it for a while longer. When my plane enters Antiman's airspace, I will ask them to escort you to the border at the same time. "
"I will wait for you to return home safely at the border."
"Return home safely," Ambassador Yu Yong promised.
…
Fourteen hours later, two Il-76s flew to the border of Antiman's airspace.
Ye Qing personally took the Peregrine Falcon and landed at the airport in Soto Rainforest seven hours earlier.
There, the monsters who had been waiting there for a long time handed over two long silver-white metal equipment boxes.
On the two boxes, the first one was printed with the English words "Barrett M82A1 Sniper Rifle". The second one had no name. It was an ammunition box. These two equipment boxes were loaded into a special airborne auxiliary equipment. Then, the Peregrine Falcon soared into the sky and flew toward Antiman's airspace.
East longitude and north latitude. This was the airborne address that General Armon told Ye Qing.
"You are very punctual, Mr. Ye. Since you are so cooperative, I will agree to your request. After hanging up, I will ask my subordinates to escort this batch of Hua Xia employees to the border. "
"The airborne address I gave you is a plain. After you ask your subordinates to drop one hundred million US dollars, immediately let the plane leave. My people will go to the airborne location to search for these US dollars. As long as the amount of US dollars is confirmed, these more than three hundred Hua Xia employees will arrive at the border in six to seven hours. "
"At that time, you can deduct as much as you want from the two pickup trucks and the soldiers in the vehicles. They don't know anything about this anyway."
General Armon casually planned to give up the lives of more than a dozen subordinates.
"In half an hour, your US dollars will land." Ye Qing calmly hung up the phone.
It was now 5: 30 p.m. local time. In another hour and a half, Antiman would enter the night.
Half an hour later, the two Il-76s flew over the plain at the coordinates. When they arrived at the coordinates, the plane descended from a safe altitude of 13,000 meters to the best altitude for the airdrop at 800 meters.
As the cabin opened and the cold wind poured in, two packages of US dollars, which weighed 1.2 tons and were neatly wrapped in waterproof cloth, slid out of the cabin along the steel cable.
The ground below the cabin door was barren. Low vegetation and brown soil made up everything here.
The two observers in the cabin kept looking with binoculars, but they still didn't find any traces of vehicles or people nearby.
Each of the two cargo planes dropped a US dollar package.
Inside the cabin of the other cargo plane without observers, there were only US dollar packages that were dropped down. There were also a few metal packages of varying sizes surrounded by dark metal with streamlined arrowheads on the outside.
This was the "nest" of the Condor drone, and the "secret weapon" to carry out revenge operations.
At an altitude of 17,000 meters, the Peregrine Falcon, which also had a dark metal shell, was hovering high in the sky.
