Chapter 463 Title——Yanhuang!

    What is the concept of six hundred thousand judges?

    Not to mention that many drones, even if that many bullets were to fly over at once, they would form a dense and thick sea of them!

    As for the drones, although the body size of judges is not large, even so, if six thousand drones were to fly together all at once, the scene would definitely be overpowering!

    What is called swarm?

    That is a real swarm!

    Moreover, according to Su Heng, the Drone-2 model can also divide!

    One can be split into ten, who can withstand it?

    If all sixty thousand drones split open, that would be six hundred thousand drones!!

    Just thinking about that scene, both Qian Zhizhong and Qiao Zhenhai, and the others, all had goosebumps on their scalps!

    And even if we are not talking about six thousand, just using the minimum standard of one thousand as mentioned by Su Heng, ten thousand drones would be created if all one thousand judges split.

    Even though the power of the split ten thousand judge sub-drones would undoubtedly be greatly diminished.

    But if we add the blue explosive that Su Heng had previously brought out.

    Even if a single sub-drone can only carry a few kilograms...

    No, even if it's not a few kilograms, but just a few hundred grams, or even tens of grams of the blue explosive, its power would definitely not be less than that of a heavy mortar shell!

    Just imagine, it's the attack of at least ten heavy mortar shells at once, who can withstand it?

    If all one thousand judges split, the power of tens of thousands of heavy mortar shells would be unleashed, what kind of defense can withstand such a terrifying barrage?

    To some extent, such firepower can be described as fanatical!

    "Little Su, after your improvements, the cost of the Drone-2 should increase quite a bit, right?"

    After a long time, Qian Zhizhong forcefully suppressed his terror in his heart and then spoke in a low voice.

    Even the best weapons need to be practical; otherwise, if the production cost is too high, it has no real significance.

    Especially for consumable weapons like this, if the cost is too high, it can only be used as a strategic weapon to bury away, such as logs and mushrooms.

    But it's obvious that the Drone-2 is not a weapon like logs and mushrooms...

    Therefore, the issue of cost must be taken into consideration...

    Facing the question, Su Heng nodded slightly and then said:

    "Regarding the cost aspect, compared to the Judge, the cost of Drone-2 is indeed much higher. However, due to the reduced range index, relatively speaking, the cost of Drone-2 is only about three times that of Judge...”

    Reducing the range is not a decision made impulsively by Su Heng, but rather the result of combining multiple pieces of information and comprehensive consideration.

    Compared to the industrial structure of camels, which can be said to have no industrial foundation at all, Long Village has a comprehensive industrial system and various equipment complement each other, so it does not need to rely on single weapons.

    Moreover, the plasma shield and anti-aircraft system on the NTM-2 are sufficient to allow NTM-2 to easily break through the defense of any village in Blue Star!

    With such a carrier, the long-range of the new Drone-2, which is as high as 800 kilometers, becomes irrelevant.

    Even to some extent, it might be too much even with the current two hundred kilometers...

    However, Su Heng is a conservative person. Being conservative, people should not be too arrogant. So Su Heng retained a safety range of two hundred kilometers as a precaution, avoiding unexpected uncontrollable accidents...

    Two hundred kilometers, it's completely invisible to the naked eye. The plasma stealth shield completely blocks radar and other detection equipment, and then the NTM-2 launches the Drone from two hundred kilometers away. The Drone conducts a low-altitude penetration, and after getting close, it directly starts an 800-kilometer rapid acceleration to confront face-to-face. Isn't that reasonable?

    Ten thousand heavy mortar shells for a head wash isn't problematic, right?

    ……

    After hearing the number of three times that Su Heng mentioned, Qian Zhizhong and the others widened their eyes.

    It's not that they think it's too much, but on the contrary, they even think that this cost is too low!

    Previously, Su Heng manufactured the Judge, and the production cost of one was more than ten thousand long currency!

    Even if they were to produce it in their military's own factory with human labor, the cost wouldn't exceed fifty thousand.

    Is it more than 50,000 yuan?

    In the Blue Star market, the export price of a 5.56mm bullet from Long Village is 0.3 long currency.

    Fifty thousand yuan is the price of 160,000 rounds of 5.56mm bullets!

    It may sound like a lot of these 160,000 rounds of bullets, but we should remember that even in the S2 season, it takes an average of 20,000 rounds to kill an enemy on the battlefield of Europe.

    And when Black Eagle Village and White Deer Village moved against Dumbwood, it took an average of over 200,000 bullets to eliminate a soldier of Dumbwood.

    Considering this, 160,000 bullets is nothing!

    If it were in the civil society, these five million yuan would only be enough to buy a common agricultural pesticide drone or a van...

    Now, with a threefold increase in cost, it's 150,000 yuan.

    Is it 150,000 yuan, which is only the price of a common small car!

    It's not even close to the price of a common mid-range rocket.

    One thousand drones plus the cost of Drone-2 would total 1.5 billion yuan, which may sound like a lot, but in the context of a formal large-scale battlefield, it's just the consumption of an ordinary war!

    For example, in the confrontation between Black Eagle and Camel before, just one destroyed fighter plane, according to Long currency, has a value of billions!

    The loss of a few fighter jets won't directly affect the war situation of a large-scale war, but one thousand Drone-2s can bring devastating attacks to the enemy, easily deciding the victory or defeat of a war!

    ……

    After a long time, Qian Zhizhong and Qin Shan looked at each other and then sighed bitterly:

    "Little Su, is there more? What other weapons does the NTM-2 have? Go ahead and tell us all at once. We're a few old guys, and we've got a decent level of mental fortitude; we can take it..."

    A particle diffusion cannon, an Xuan Nu Aerospace Combat Bomber, a DM-13 electromagnetic pulse missile, and a Drone-2.

    Four types of weapons...

    No, it's not four. There are six. Su Heng himself has said that in addition to these four, the NTM-2 will also carry Qingniao and Baiye fighter planes!

    These six weapons, one after another, are more and more terrifying!

    Any one of them could be considered a powerful weapon, yet Su Heng keeps coming up with them one after another.

    If their mental fortitude weren't strong enough, even now, Qian Zhizhong and the others were doubting whether they could stand here properly.

    In response to Qian Zhizhong's voice, Su Heng smiled and then continued:

    "In addition to these, there are also helicopters equipped with Electroshock Cannon for Spring Insects, other transport planes and helicopters, as well as power armor for individual weapons. That's about it."

    "If forced to say, there are only some conventional aerial bombs. The design of the NTM-2 allows a maximum load of one million tons."

    "After removing various auxiliary equipment such as weapons, fuel, medical supplies, maintenance equipment, and the required personnel and materials, there is still at least ten thousand tons of spare space. This ten thousand tons can be used to carry aviation bombs. As for how to load them and what kind of bombs to carry, that can be arranged by you, Mr. Qian and others at the time..."

    Upon hearing this, Qian Zhizhong and the others couldn't help but stare in amazement.

    One hundred thousand tons of spare space!

    Wow, only Su Heng could pull off something like this.

    In contrast, most people designing flying vehicles tend to optimize them to the extreme, aiming to carry every gram with precision.

    Su Heng's design, on the other hand, directly includes one hundred thousand tons of spare load capacity!

    What does one hundred thousand tons mean?

    Calculating based on the maximum payload of a Gunslinger strategic bomber, which is 60 tons, one million tons is equivalent to 166.7 Gunslinger bombers!

    What kind of lavish and unrestricted approach is this?

    If all of it were used to carry aviation bombs, with one ton per bomb, that would be ten thousand bombs. If each bomb weighs only one hundred kilograms, that's a hundred thousand bombs!

    Just thinking about it makes one's scalp tingle!

    At this moment, Su Heng continued:

    "As for the missiles, just like the anti-aircraft missiles, I have removed all the other missiles on the NTM-2 as well. Personally, I believe that with the current offensive and defensive weapons, whether for attack or defense, the NTM-2 is already more than sufficient. There's no need to add so many missiles on it, which would be rather unnecessary..."

    "Of course, I have also left some modification space. If Mr. Qian and the others think that these weapons are necessary, I can also add them at any time. Even mushrooms can be added..."

    Upon hearing this, Qian Zhizhong and the others exchanged glances and then all shook their heads slightly.

    According to Su Heng's description, the current NTM-2 is already armed to the teeth.

    The description of "deformed" is already insufficient to describe NTM-2.

    What's the need for more missiles in this case?

    Even to say something unpleasant, with the current performance of NTM-2, adding more missiles would be like drawing a snake to add feet.

    Even if it were the original wood and mushrooms, it would still be the same.

    NTM-2 itself has far more practicality than the original wood. As for mushrooms, the particle diffusion cannon on NTM-2 is no less powerful than a mushroom.

    Even in terms of deterrent power, it exceeds mushrooms by a wide margin!

    After all, this is unknown!

    But mushrooms have been known to everyone!

    Once the NTM-2's particle diffusion cannon is displayed to the world, the entire world will undoubtedly tremble!

    The nature of man is that the fear of unknown things must be far greater than that of known ones!

    So, Su Heng is indeed right; the existence of those things is not important; they are meaningless except for increasing costs...

    "By the way, little Su!"

    Suddenly, as if remembering something, Qiao Zhenhai suddenly spoke up:

    "Little Su, you mentioned before that there was some kind of Shadow Drones, right? Where are the Shadow Drones?"

    Shadow Drone Mech.

    Hearing the name, Su Heng also paused for a moment.

    Then quickly regained his composure and shook his head, saying:

    "I was planning to include Shadow Drone Mechs in NTM, but as I said earlier, the Black and White Eagles are too weak. With the weapons on NTM-2 now, I feel that they are more than enough."

    "As for the Shadow Drone Mechs, I replaced them with Electroshock Cannon helicopters. Compared to the Shadow Drone Mechs, Electroshock Cannon is relatively cheaper and has lower cost. When dealing with villages like Black Eagle Village or other villages in Blue Star, Electroshock Cannon is already sufficient..."

    Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhenhai smiled wryly.

    After thinking carefully, it seems that what Su Heng said is indeed true.

    Both Black Eagle Village and Polar Bear Village, Electroshock Cannon is enough.

    The Shadow Drone Mechs are completely unnecessary, and even the current NTM-2 feels like using a cannon to swat a mosquito.

    For a moment, Qiao Zhenhai's mind was somewhat dizzy.

    Once upon a time, they were still trembling in fear under the threat of Black Eagle Village.

    In the face of Black Eagle Village's unrestrained bullying, they could only dare to be angry but dare not speak.

    Even if they could speak, they could only make a few irrelevant protests...

    But now, with the times changing and the world moving on, in just a blink of an eye, their Dragon Village has grown so strong.

    To "take care" of Black Eagle and the like, they had to "forcefully weaken" themselves...

    This is really some kind of dreamlike and surreal...

    Not only Qiao Zhenhai, but also the people next to him, including Qian Zhizhong and others, were all somewhat dazed.

    For a moment, it seemed as though everyone saw the predecessors who had shed their heads and blood, those comrades who fought amidst blood and fire, and the countless tombstones that stood in the cemetery!

    For a long time, Qian Zhizhong and others finally regained their composure. After staring at the model of NTM-2 floating in mid-air in front of them for a long time, Qiao Zhenhai asked in a low voice, "Little Su, does NTM-2 have its own name?"

    NTM-2 is a code name, not a personal name.

    Just like Sword 10G and Sword 11G are just the code names for these two fighter jets, their actual titles are respectively Tianlong and Yinglong.

    Although the names Tianlong and Yinglong were given temporarily after the Dragon Village decided to export these two aircraft.

    But whether they are temporarily assigned or not, their current names are as such.

    Similarly, names like Jingzhe (the start of spring), Bi Xi, Chi Wen, Long Yuan, these are all names.

    And the 52G these are just codes...

    In response to the question, Su Heng was also taken aback for a moment, and then shook his head slightly, saying:

    "I haven't thought about this yet. What do you think, Elder Qiao?"

    As for names, Su Heng hasn't really thought about it.

    Before, he spent most of his time either reading up on materials or conducting research in the spirit realm.

    And the rest of the time was mainly spent dealing with affairs at Jiuding Technology.

    Including rarely contacting Jiao Lulu, he never considered the matter of giving it a name...

    Facing Su Heng's question, Qiao Zhenhai and the others exchanged glances and then all fell into deep thought.

    Naming something is simple enough, but now they are facing a national treasure that can truly make the Dragon Village stand at the peak of the world!

    Things like this can't be just randomly named and fooled.

    If not for the current lack of adherence to superstitions, they should even burn incense, take a bath, choose a auspicious time and date, and then find someone with high prestige to name it!

    After a long time, Qiao Zhenhai came back to his senses from his deep thought.

    Looking at Su Heng, Qiao Zhenhai directly turned his gaze to him, saying:

    "Little Su, it's your responsibility to name it. You are the main designer of NTM-2, the only designer, and the person who has led our Dragon Village to the pinnacle step by step. You are the most suitable person to bestow a name upon NTM-2!"

    Hearing this, Qian Zhizhong and others nodded in agreement.

    "Indeed, Little Su, no one else is more suitable than you..."

    Regardless of their status or position, any of the elders present could stand out and have a higher status than Su Heng.

    But whether it's Qian Zhizhong, Qiao Zhenhai, or Qin Shan and others, none of them thought of claiming Su Heng's honor.

    In their eyes, this honor belongs to Su Heng alone, and no one can take it away!

    Facing the gazes of the others, Su Heng shook his head slightly and subconsciously wanted to say something.

    Before he could open his mouth, Qiao Zhenhai cut in directly.

    "Little Su, if you can't accept this, then we really don't dare to ask you to do anything else in the future. You understand the principle of Zigong rescuing people. We have taken advantage of you so much, and you have done so much for our Dragon Village. Now, we can't even find anything to compensate you!"

    "If we take this advantage now, our backbones will probably be broken when it's passed around."

    Hearing this, Su Heng smiled wryly.

    In the end, he could only helplessly sigh.

    To be honest, he really doesn't care about this so-called honor.

    Not to mention the issue of his character, even if we set his personality aside, to be blunt, he has too many ways to get this thing. Something that comes easily isn't something he would care about.

    However, now that Qiao Zhenhai and the others are in this situation, he doesn't seem to have a choice but to accept it.

    After all, Qiao Zhenhai and others are really trying to do good for him...

    Thinking of this, Su Heng fell into deep thought as well.

    The name of NTM-2...

    In an instant, countless information about the ancient past and future was constantly flashing through Su Heng's mind.

    Beside Su Heng, as they watched him lost in thought, Qiao Zhenhai and the others did not speak anymore, instead silently waiting for Su Heng's response.

    They don't know what name Su Heng will give to NTM-2, but whatever the name is, it is the right honor that belongs to Su Heng.

    In their hearts, Qiao Zhenhai and the others even had another idea...

    After some time, Su Heng looked up again and slowly spoke out two characters:

    "Yán Huáng!"

    "The name of NTM-2 is called Yán Huáng!"
