This was the first time Gu Bai had heard his father speak in such a tone.
After thinking for a moment, he asked in confusion.
“Is there something wrong with it? I only intended it to be a mobile camera, nothing dangerous.”
“Gu Bai,” Gu Ba said earnestly, “since this drone of yours can carry a camera, it can naturally also carry some very dangerous weapons… such as hand grenades.”
After looking at the blueprints and performance, Gu Ba immediately realized how terrifying the potential of this seemingly toy-like device was.
Equipped with a camera, it could easily survey the battlefield.
Equipped with hand grenades, it could launch attacks from the sky without anyone noticing.
As long as the payload was powerful enough, it would be the ultimate killing weapon on the battlefield of the new era.
Whether facing tanks or infantry, anyone would have to tread carefully upon seeing this.
“Are you sure its effective control range is ten kilometers?”
A distance of ten kilometers still seemed incredible to Gu Ba.
After all, walking that distance alone would take three hours.
If it could really achieve that range, then this drone absolutely had to be prioritized for military research and development.
“I tested it. Without external interference, it should be about a dozen kilometers. But with interference, that might shrink considerably.”
After all, Gu Bai had put it together by himself, and none of the components were top-tier.
If he had top-tier parts and chips, Gu Bai felt he could further enhance the telemetry and control aspects.
But for Gu Ba, this was already sufficient.
He said to Gu Bai, “Wait at home. I’ll contact the people from Longteng Military Industry. They’ll come pick you up later.”
“Okay.”
Gu Bai’s original purpose in building the drone was to make money.
Since his father was proactively finding him a connection, he naturally wouldn’t refuse.
After waiting half an hour, a black sedan stopped in front of Gu Bai’s house.
A female office worker in a suit stepped out, accompanied by two bodyguards.
Upon seeing Gu Bai, she adjusted her glasses and said, “Mr. Gu, get in the car.”
Her voice carried a hint of disdain, as if distrustful of Gu Bai’s abilities.
She didn’t show it, but Gu Bai could sense it.
Of course, Gu Bai couldn’t be bothered to argue with her.
After all, he was just an inexperienced kid who hadn’t even graduated yet.
These veterans who had been in the world for who knows how long would never believe that drone was made by him.
But Gu Bai also didn’t feel like proving himself.
“Mr. Gu, please get in the car.”
The two bodyguards were quite sensible, respectfully clearing a path for Gu Bai.
“Just call me Gu Bai, don’t call me ‘mister.’ I’m still young.”
As he got into the car, not far away, Su Shuhao and Lin Xiaotong witnessed the scene.
The two girls, especially Lin Xiaotong, were dumbfounded on the spot.
She said to Su Shuhao incredulously, “Su Shuhao, did you see that?”
“Yeah…”
Su Shuhao watched the high-end black sedan gradually drive away, and a hint of doubt arose in her heart.
From the attitude of the two bodyguards, they were clearly very deferential toward Gu Bai.
But she had never heard of any family background from Gu Bai.
As for the school rumors about a “gangster bully,” that was even more baseless.
But what was going on now?
Why was Gu Bai getting into that black luxury sedan?
At that moment, Lin Xiaotong seemed to recall something and said fearfully, “Gu Bai… he’s not really the son of some gang boss, is he?”
“Impossible.”
Su Shuhao immediately denied Lin Xiaotong’s speculation.
But the latter insisted, “Su Shuhao, you don’t know. I’ve heard rumors about that ‘Wang Ge.’ You know what…”
As she spoke, Lin Xiaotong leaned close to Su Shuhao’s ear and whispered, “Normally, those two guys should be in jail. But guess what? It’s like someone deliberately took revenge. They’re now cleaning pigsties at a farm on the outskirts, and only the two of them. It’s pretty miserable.”
Su Shuhao didn’t know if what Lin Xiaotong said was just hearsay.
“See? My advice to you before was all good, right? If Gu Bai really is involved with gangsters, then if you’re too agreeable with him, you’ll be in danger.”
Lin Xiaotong spoke with conviction, but Su Shuhao felt that if Gu Bai really had a shady background, it would be dangerous no matter what she did, right?
That statement was essentially saying nothing.
So in response to Lin Xiaotong’s persuasion, Su Shuhao thought for a moment and said, “He’s not my boyfriend anymore. Why should I bother with this?”
“Ah…”
Lin Xiaotong was taken aback, then said softly, “Su Shuhao, are you giving up just like that? But now, I feel… he’s pretty rich. Maybe you shouldn’t rush to conclusions?”
Su Shuhao was a bit confused.
Once upon a time, Lin Xiaotong had always urged her to break up, saying that an ordinary man like Gu Bai, without some trials, was definitely not worthy of her.
But now she was thinking about getting back together?
Su Shuhao couldn’t help but sigh at that thought.
She did want to go back, but…
It wasn’t her fault, right?
It was just that Gu Bai had been too impulsive.
Lin Xiaotong had also said more than once that the request was normal and not excessive.
So she would never bow her head, never…
“Unless he comes to apologize to me, otherwise, no way.”
Su Shuhao said forcefully, but in her heart, she couldn’t help secretly calculating how to get her younger sister to help again.
“Alright, anyway, there’s no shortage of good men in this world. With your conditions, Su Shuhao, finding a rich man isn’t hard at all.”
Lin Xiaotong didn’t insist, and the two left the place.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Gu Bai got out of the car and arrived at a building.
This was a branch of Longteng Military Industry.
The building was not only a research institute but also a weapons manufacturing factory.
Its scale was enormous.
Looking up from the bottom, it was absolutely stunning, so much so that Gu Bai couldn’t help but take a few extra glances.
“Stop staring. Hurry up.”
As Gu Bai observed the building, the female office worker behind him urged, “Time is precious. Instead of wasting it here, let’s get to the testing ground.”
“Fine.”
Gu Bai shrugged and followed the woman.
After passing identity verification, the two walked for a long time before finally arriving at Longteng Military Industry’s testing ground.
“Test it here.”
