Bao'an County Government Office
Commander Cao was holding a drone, just like he was holding his newlywed wife, and his eyes were almost tearing.
"Baby, it's really a baby, Comrade Sanqi, how many of these drones do you have? Can you, hehe."
Lin Sanqi personally brought a cup of tea to the respectable old commander:
"Lao Cao, I don't have many of these advanced drones, only about 50. When you return to Yunnan this time, I'll give you 30 of them, along with some weapons. You can figure out how to use them yourself."
Commander Cao's eyes spun around, clearly dissatisfied with the number of 30 drones:
"Comrade Sanqi, you've been to the Yunnan-Nanjing border before. Do you know how long it is? A full 4,000 kilometers. If you don't remember how long it is, just remember that the distance from Kunming to the capital is only 2,500 kilometers.
With such a long border, tens of thousands of troops are needed to ensure the security of our country. But if there are only 30 aircraft, that's equivalent to one drone every 100 kilometers, which is just a drop in the ocean.
So Comrade Sanqi, I, Lao Cao, have never asked anyone for help in my life, but now I sincerely beg you to help us get more drones. Don't even mention 30, 3,000, or even 30,000. That's not too many.
Lin Sanqi looked up at the sky, calculating silently in his mind.
For him, let alone 300,000 aircraft, even if it was 300,000 aircraft, given the domestic manufacturing capacity in another time and space, that would be a drop in the bucket.
The question is, will he attract the attention of European and American intelligence agencies if he brings out so many drones? That would definitely not be a good thing.
There is another one. He is planning to dominate Hong Kong. The drone is his secret weapon that can kill people without anyone noticing.
But as long as he is found in the country, Hong Kong should be able to find him quickly?
Thinking of this, Lin Sanqi became a little nervous:
"Lao Cao, the drone drill we conducted this evening must be kept strictly confidential. Do not disclose it to anyone."
Commander Cao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I understand the principle of confidentiality. I've already made sure they keep everything they saw today to themselves."
"By the way, Comrade Sanqi, I know you particularly like to bring advanced foreign technology to China. So, can we build a drone production line in China? We can produce it ourselves."
Drone production is actually not difficult, and the core components are all mastered domestically.
But Lin Sanqi doesn't want to set up a drone production line in the short term.
With a production line, before you produce the machine, you must first solve the raw material problem, such as carbon fiber composite materials, aluminum alloys, engineering plastics, etc.
These machines and materials could not be produced domestically in the 1960s. Do we need to build additional supporting factories?
Even if the material problem is solved, are there brushless DC motors, propellers, batteries, etc.?
At that time, none of the core components of drones, such as integrated gyroscopes, accelerometers, GPS modules and other sensors, high-precision circuit boards and RF cables, could be produced domestically.
Even the simplest stainless steel screws and nuts, sealants and heat shrink tubing used for waterproofing, dustproofing and line protection could not be produced in the 1960s.
In addition, drone swarm operations require the cooperation of satellite GPS. Do we need to launch a few more satellites into space?
To produce a drone, one needs to build countless supporting factories, but Lin Sanqi simply does not have the time and energy to do all this.
As for him, he was still busy producing medicine, so he could only refuse:
"Lao Cao, forget about building a drone production line. It's too professional and high-tech, and it's not something that can be produced in China today.
However, I can also understand the country's actual difficulties. So, I will be responsible for introducing the drones. The specific quantity can be negotiated.
There was originally a swarm of drones, with hundreds or thousands of aircraft under unified command. Fighting in this way would be equivalent to thousands of soldiers charging together, but this swarm of drones relies on satellite signals, so don't even think about it in China.
So, I will get you 10,000 drones first, and the troops also need to train skilled drone pilots so that they can better deploy them on the battlefield.
In addition, drones are highly dependent on power supply. I will give you a few energy storage cabinets and diesel engines, which will solve the problem of drone charging.
Once you've tried the drones and feel they're fully capable of being deployed on the battlefield, we can discuss the subsequent supply of drones. What do you think, Lao Cao?"
Commander Cao rubbed his hands and laughed:
"Great, great! Ten thousand drones are enough for us to initially equip our entire army."
Lin Sanqi thought, since he was ready to be a good person, he might as well be a good person to the end, so he continued:
"Lao Cao, I'll also provide you with a few Bobcats. These small off-road vehicles are particularly suitable for navigating the southern rainforests and will facilitate your maneuvering.
In addition, I will give you some jungle camouflage uniforms, boonie hats, human mosquito repellent camouflage paint, jungle combat boots, field survival kits, multi-purpose engineer shovels, and tactical vests.
In addition, I'll get you some individual radios, noise-canceling headphones, Kevlar helmets, body armor, and so on. You're professionals, so you can figure out how to use them by reading the instructions."
Commander Cao was stunned, and then he was ecstatic, because all the weapons provided by Lin Sanqi were the most advanced.
"Okay, okay, Comrade Sanqi, thank you so much. Thank you for your contribution to the army, hahahaha."
Lin Sanqi thought, don't be happy, I should thank the enthusiastic readers. They reminded me to send you more weapons and equipment. Although they are civilian versions, they were high-tech killers in the 1960s.
"Don't be too happy. If you want me to supply you with drones and other military equipment, you have to give me something in exchange, right? Lao Cao, you don't think I'm importing all these weapons for free, do you?"
Commander Cao blushed and thought about what Yun Nan had.
Fortunately, there was a ready-made answer in front of him, and he knew what he should do:
"Comrade Sanqi, I understand. You need jade in exchange. No problem. When I return to Yunnan, I'll personally go to Lao Myanmar and exchange food, weapons, and medicine for jade. I'll bring it all to Bao'an County. What do you think?"
Lin Sanqi's dog face suddenly broke into a smile:
"I think it's OK. We are doing fair trade, right? This is sustainable development."
Hearing Lin Sanqi's agreement, Commander Cao anxiously asked, "Then, when will you give me the 10,000 drones and the military equipment you mentioned?"
Lin Sanqi thought for a moment:
"Well, your military train finally got here, and since you'll have to make several trips to transport so much food anyway, just wait for me for a few days. Once the Longjing tea from Zhejiang Province arrives, I'll personally go abroad to get you some drones."
Commander Cao shook Lin Sanqi's hand firmly:
"Okay, then I'll wait for you in Yunnan. Comrade Sanqi, our entire army will never forget the contribution you made today."
Lin Sanqi pointed to the military uniform hanging in the corner of the office and said:
"Lao Cao, this is too formal. You are a flower, and I am also a two-bar four-star. We are all family, so don't be so formal."
"Haha, okay, okay, we're one family, we're one family!"
The next day, a special train from Zhejiang Province slowly arrived at Bao'an County Railway Station.
Lin Sanqi was waiting on the platform early, and soon several Zhejiang cadres jumped off the train.
A middle-aged cadre in his 50s, who was leading the group, was waving from a distance:
"Are you Commissioner Lin Sanqi?"
Lin Sanqi also extended his hand and shook it warmly. "Yes, I'm the Lin Sanqi who spoke to you on the phone earlier. You are Director Peng of the Zhejiang Agricultural Department, right?"
Peng Youde quickly shook his hand enthusiastically: "Deputy, Deputy Director, hehe."
After the two sides exchanged pleasantries, Deputy Director Peng asked the staff to open the car door, revealing boxes of tea inside.
A fresh fragrance unique to Longjing tea wafts out, which is much better than Pu'er tea.
"Commissioner Lin, we've brought in a total of 300 tons of West Lake Longjing tea this time. According to our superiors' instructions, all the special-grade and first-grade Longjing tea has been shipped over, totaling 50 tons."
Lin Sanqi was somewhat satisfied with the number, but he asked:
"Are these Longjing teas from Longjing Village near West Lake?"
Deputy Director Peng patted his chest and assured:
"Commissioner Lin, rest assured, all of this Longjing tea was picked within the 160 square kilometers surrounding the West Lake Scenic Area, such as Shifeng Mountain, Longjing Village, Meijiawu, and other villages. There is absolutely no Yuhang or Shaoxing Longjing tea.
Originally, the annual production of West Lake Longjing tea was supposed to be over 400 tons. I won't hide this from Commissioner Lin, but before we received the notice from our superiors, we had already exported over 100 tons of tea. The tea on the train was also a foreign trade order that we urgently canceled.
It was already August when Lin Sanqi first proposed exchanging the generator for Longjing tea, which was long past the tea picking season. It was understandable that they had foreign trade exports.
"It's all right, Commissioner Peng. I'm very satisfied with these 400 tons of tea. Haha, thank you for the hard work, comrades in Zhejiang. Come on, come on, I'll treat you. Today, you can have all-you-can-eat seafood."
When Commissioner Peng saw Lin Sanqi's politeness, his smile widened.
"Commissioner Lin, we've specially sent a special train this time, with 30 carriages. So our provincial leaders have also specially sent a lot of local specialties to express their apologies for the shortage of tea."
After saying this, Deputy Director Peng pulled Lin Sanqi forward. (End of this chapter)
