I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World

Chapter 1367: Technology Change The War!

“The theme of this exhibition is technology.”

Jiang Chen lifted his hand and gently swiped it in front of him.

As soon as his fingertips slid across the air, a layer of ripples formed and cascaded outwards, and digital blocks emerged one after another. Among everyone’s astonished look, it formed into a solider in kinetic skeleton and a drone with a muzzle.

“With the advancement of science and technology and the innovation of military technology, there is no doubt that human’s participation in wars will become less and less.”

“Future Group is built on science and technology with a focus on the future. It is committed to using the power of science and technology to serve the production and life of all humankind and lead the world in a perfect direction.”

“As a responsible company, I believe that our technology will completely change the way wars are conducted in the not-too-distant future, using machinery to replace flesh and blood to prevent meaningless deaths and to decide the outcome of the war in a more efficient manner.”

“Next, I will demonstrate the concept I proposed earlier for you through holographic simulation.”

At the moment Jiang Chen finished the sentence, the holographic image floating in front of Jiang Chen changed.

A number of tall buildings appeared through the digital blocks and then spread out from the rostrum. Nine soldiers in urban camouflage appeared on the street. From the equipment, the team should be based on a UA Army squad combat unit, including a staff sergeant and two teams. Each team had a noncommissioned officer, a rifleman, a grenade launch solider, and an M249 machine gunner.

Shocked by this realistic holographic projection, the sights of almost all the guests present were glued to the holographic image in front of Jiang Chen.

When Chemezov saw the realistic holographic images of the nine soldiers, he had a look of realization.

“He is preparing to simulate city battles!”

The next images seemed to confirm his guess, the stateless soldier who appeared first quickly encountered the same stateless imaginary enemy. With the cooperation of the drone, the soldier wearing the kinetic skeleton was at an extreme firepower disadvantage, but with the drone’s excellent reconnaissance capability and the firepower supplemented by the self-aiming rifle below, he successfully launched a flank attach and killed two machine gunners of the imaginary enemy force.

The audience was shocked as they made loud gasping sounds. It was obvious that they were not optimistic about the soldier in kinetic skeleton at first. It had nothing to do with the lack of trust of Future Military’s technology, but the sheer number discrepancy between the two sides. In the absence of off-field fire support, they really couldn’t think of any possibility where the soldier would have an advantage.

But soon, their expressions became quite interesting.

Someone even exclaimed loudly when the sixth imaginary enemy soldier fell.

“It’s impossible... the soldier just jumped to the third floor; is he still human?”

“It’s the kinetic skeleton! The mobility of the kinetic skeleton!”

“This drone is definitely a nightmare for all infantry. For soldiers, its size is too small, and its speed just makes people feel despair. It’s almost impossible to hit outside of 30 meters. They can only be suppressed by the self-aiming rifle...”

“Scythe” drone, as the foreign military version of the Hummingbird drone, replaced the vortex engine on the bottom into four pairs of outwardly extending rotors. While sacrificing limited maneuverability, the ammunition carrying capacity and muzzle caliber were increased, as well as the shooting fault tolerance rate of the self-aiming rifle below, which greatly reduced the drone’s dependence on smart terminals. But it was precisely because this that made its combat effectiveness significantly lower compared to the highly intelligent Hummingbird drone, and even more incomparable with the attack drone “Viper” that placed emphasis on firepower.

But even so, as a foreign military sales model, the excellent performance of the Scythe drone was enough to impress all the countries present.

As the last soldier fell, the holographic image changed again. This time the Scythe drones were showcased independently, with more than fifty “Scythes” in the air, they formed into a dense attack group of drones.

The imaginary enemy they faced this time was a whole company of semi-mechanized infantry.

The intensive firepower caused a lot of casualties to the drones. From time to time, destroyed drones crashed down, but the loss of drones failed to prevent the drone attack group from advancing.

With the storm-like bullets, the dense drones swarmed through the battlefield, just like locusts that raged through farms. They shredded everything in their path into pieces. Especially when the drones were directly above the infantry, all bunkers lost their purpose as the bullets hailing down from above were inevitable.

With gleam in their eyes, the officers from Hua and Russia in the audience almost made the same decision simultaneously. They spoke a few words to their assistant and demanded they purchase Scythe drones at all cost.

The changing digital blocks in the air dissipated and left the guests still reminiscing on what they just witnessed.

As Jiang Chen looked at their guests with different thoughts and emotions, he smiled and said.

“When the soldiers themselves are of the same combat effectiveness, the soldier equipped with the drone and kinetic skeleton will have a combat effectiveness comparable to that of a nine-man combat squad in city encounters.” He paused for a moment before he continued. “Of course, our scope for drones is not just a supplement to firepower, but also a soldier’s second eye. As you saw earlier, even if the drone formed an independent attack group, the actual combat shown by Scythe drones is still astounding.”

“As the focus of Future Military’s foreign military sales, we welcome any interested country or private armed forces to come and place orders.”

“In addition to the previously shown Scythe drone, a total of 21 weapons designed by Future Military will be exhibited in this defense exhibition. I believe they will not disappoint you either...”

The opening remarks finally ended.

Not many people paid attention to what Jiang Chen said after.

Because all of their attention had been completely immersed in the Scythe drone.

Especially the Russians. They knew from experience how reliable Future Group’s drones were.

A long time ago, Future Heavy Industries had sold drone logistics systems to the Russian military. Those drones that ignored terrain greatly improved the logistics supply capabilities of frontline combat troops. With the assistance of AI, those little guys could accurately deliver ammunition to the soldiers in need.

Now, these little guys had changed – they had self-aiming rifles attached. They could not only detect and report, but they could also lock and shoot, which was everything a light infantry could ask for! They could not find any reason not to buy.

Everyone was thinking about how to get ahead of others and win the contract with Future Military

Not just Scythe drone.

A total of 21 pieces of equipment from Future Military were exhibited on the first day of the defense exhibition. Without exception, all of them became the darling of all countries. Including the “arms sale version” S1 exoskeleton that appeared on the holographic image, and the “downgrade version” of the Reaper assault rifle in the hands of the soldier.

At the end of the defense exhibition’s first day, Future Military had signed military sales contracts worth more than 20 billion Xin New Dollars with more than forty countries. Compared with Future Military’s high-tech weapons, all the other military industry enterprises had almost become a foil.

The first day of the defense exhibition focused on smaller light weapons, which was Future Military’s home field advantage. For most military industry giants, the sale of a complete set of air defense systems, ballistic missiles, and fighter jets was the bulk of the money, and that was where they fought.

However, the 20-billion-dollar worth of contracts still made them envious and jealous.

No one imagined that these little guys could make so much money.

As competitors, it did not feel great to just witness Future Military take away such a large piece of pie...
