This little guy is actually a drone?

 Well, I almost made a fool of myself.

 Looking at the two pairs of propellers popping up above his head and the silver metal ball hanging and floating in front of him, Chu Guang poked it with interest.

 Can it also be adaptively stabilized?

"interesting."

Change the propeller into wings, paint the sphere gold, and make it a little smaller, so it looks exactly like the Golden Snitch in Harry Potter.

The light blue label affixed by the system to this thing has the words ["Hummingbird" drone] written on it, and comes with a long list of instructions for use.

Simply put, this thing can be connected to any electronic device with imaging technology and information transmission functions, and only needs to insert a plug-in the size of a thumbnail.

The common interface on VM just matches this plug-in.

But, is this thing considered a weapon?

Chu Guang looked back at Xiao Qi.

 “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”

Xiao Qi said aggrievedly.

“But you didn’t ask me, Master.”

　　Emmm…

It seems the same is true.

Chu Guang did not blame it. After playing with the toy for a while, he continued to ask.

 “What’s the use of this thing? Can it be fired?”

　　 Could it be a self-destruction?

If it were really a one-time consumable, that would be too shameful.

  Xiao Qi: “Its main function is reconnaissance... It is already very difficult to integrate a long-lasting battery and motor into such a small guy. It must not be able to carry combat parts, right?”

“Reconnaissance?” Chu Guang stood next to the drone and observed it for a while, “Why didn’t I see its camera?”

 Xiaoqi continued to explain.

"The camera has been integrated with the surface material, and it is definitely invisible to the naked eye. But don't worry about the performance. Although the camera is small, it is very powerful! The 60 dot matrix camera clusters distributed on the surface of the sphere can eliminate any blind spots.

Collect 360-degree regional high-definition images, which can be used even in night environments.”

Although you can’t see the camera, there are cameras smaller than pinholes all over your body. Does that mean big?

 Speaking of having a camera, doesn’t it mean that you can take photos?

Although Xiaoqi can also take photos, because the range of activities is too small, the most she can do is stand on the sanatorium and take pictures of the players at work.

With this thing, you should be able to take a lot of interesting photos. With a slight filter, you can get a proper movie-level game CG.

Chu Guang touched his chin and continued to ask.

“What about the flight altitude? Also the distance, working time, and...how to charge?”

 Xiaoqi answered quickly.

“Charging is very simple. The drone has a built-in wireless charging interface. It can charge automatically in the shelter like me, and I can also share part of my power with it.”

"As for the flight altitude, it is recommended to fly at low altitude below 100m. Although it is theoretically possible to fly to an altitude of several hundred meters, it is recommended not to stay at high altitude for too long. Working in a high altitude environment for a long time will not only cause damage to the engine

The load will also cause safety hazards."

"As for the distance, if there are not many obstacles, it is easy to use within a three-kilometer range, but it is also not recommended to be too far away from the terminal. After all, this is a close-range reconnaissance drone. The advantage is that it has a long battery life of nearly 12 hours and is complex.

Overcoming obstacles in the environment... long-range reconnaissance is still a bit difficult."

Signal transmission will be affected when encountering a place with many obstacles.

However, the control chip of the "Hummingbird" drone has an integrated automatic return program. Once the connection is lost, the AI ​​will be automatically activated, and based on the video footage and estimated route in the cached data, the drone will be controlled to return to the starting coordinates or the preset rendezvous point.

 After understanding the function of this little guy, Chu Guang reached out and took off the drone. The more he held it in his hand, the more he liked it.

If you throw the drone into the sky before a fight, it is almost like putting a real eye in the enemy's head.

 Videos and images can be received through VM.

  It’s simply awesome!

"Owner……"

“What’s wrong?” Hearing Xiaoqi’s voice, Chu Guang glanced at it curiously, “Are there any other functions that haven’t been introduced?”

"Well...can you give it to Xiaoqi?" Xiaoqi weakly suggested, "Your VM can be directly connected to the main server of the shelter, and the pictures I see can be directly transmitted to you. You

Give it to me, and Xiaoqi will be able to see farther away, and it will also help you monitor the activities of the players more conveniently."

“This is a good idea.” Chu Guang’s eyes lit up.

This thing is certainly useful when used in battle, but there are not many opportunities to go to the front line. In addition, the current defense power is piled up like an iron bucket, so multiple of these things are actually not that useful.

It’s better to use it to peek at the screen.

  No, it should be said strategic reconnaissance!

 Xiaoqi continued.

"Master, when I was helping you sort out the information yesterday, I noticed that the guard's diary seemed to mention a signal tower? If the power supply of that signal tower can be restored, it might be possible to further expand the signal coverage of Vault 404.

oh."

Chu Guang placed the drone above Xiao Qi's head and continued with interest.

“Are you talking about...the signal tower used by the guards to communicate with survivors on the surface? I have considered it, but based on the clues returned by the players exploring the map, there seems to be nothing gained.”

 Xiaoqi continued.

“The function of the signal tower should not only be to communicate with the surface. According to the clues in the recording, in the years after the war, the shelter seemed to have been collecting radio signals on the ground as analysis samples.”

"According to my speculation, this signal tower should have complete signal sending and receiving functions. Perhaps we can use it to provide information services for players' VM devices. In this way, even in areas far away from the shelter, you can

A mission has been released to the players."

Chu Guang said with a smile.

“The idea is a good idea, but the question is where can we find this tower? Do you have a map?”

 Xiao Qi said immediately.

“Although there is no map, it is obvious that this signal tower is near us? If the two kilometers nearby have been explored by players——”

 Hearing this sentence, Chu Guang reacted suddenly.

“Street 76?”

 Xiaoqi said happily.

 “Well! The host is great!”

really.

  Eliminate all wrong options, and the final answer will naturally emerge.

To the west and northwest of the Wetland Park is a lake. To the south is wasteland, abandoned buildings and abandoned park facilities. To the south is Beit Street and the Fifth Ring Road south of Beit Street.

As for the area going north to the abandoned tire factory, players in the shelter have already explored it. The only area that has not been explored is No. 76 Street directly opposite the East Gate.

 Speaking of which, the greenhouse site seems to be at the entrance of No. 76 Street.

 The players’ activity range is getting closer and closer to the mutant territory.

Chu Guang looked at the map and fell into deep thought.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　.

“We have to think of a way to kill those green-skinned muscle guys in one fell swoop.”

 …

 The next morning.

 The heavy snow has stopped for a while, and it seems that today is a rare sunny day.

 At the entrance of the weapons store, a large circle of people gathered around.

 The players who came later stood on tiptoes, looked through the crowd, and grabbed the players next to them to find out what was going on.

 “What happened? Why are there so many people crowded here?”

 “Auction at the Weapon Shop!”

“Auction?! When will there be a team fight again? Why didn’t I know?”

“It’s not a team battle, it’s just an ordinary auction! I don’t know what’s going on. It seems to be a temporary event in the game. Didn’t you check the official website?”

“No! As soon as I got home, I put the helmet on my head before I even took off my clothes!”

 “Holy shit, you don’t even take a shower?”
