Genius is just the threshold for me!

Chapter 69 What kind of engine is this?

bang——

In the Yangcheng Military Region, Xu Zelin looked at the exercise documents brought over by the chief of staff and couldn't help but slam his hand on the table.

"Let's do an exercise as the Blue Force, forming an armored division and living like idiots? Who came up with this ridiculous exercise idea?!"

"This wasn't anyone's idea; headquarters is preparing a response to Xiao Rizi's comments about the Diaoyu Islands, and also taking this opportunity to remind Monkey."

The chief of staff briefly explained the hidden story behind this exercise.

"Then we can be the red team, and let that old Li guy be the blue team, let him be the underling," Xu Zelin replied, still somewhat exasperated.

Damn, what if this exercise really goes according to plan?

He could already imagine how those jerks would tease him when he went to headquarters for a meeting after this exercise ended.

"I'm afraid this can't be changed."

The chief of staff said seriously, "The exercise requirements given by headquarters are that Chengdu, in conjunction with Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group, will use one-fifth of its personnel and configuration to fight against us with their new equipment... Because we need to coordinate training in advance, we can only let Chengdu be the red team."

"One-fifth of their numbers and equipment are fighting us?"

Xu Zelin paused, picked up the documents on the table, and carefully read them. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "What kind of equipment does Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group have? It's so powerful!"

"No information has been released yet."

The chief of staff shook his head slightly: "However, I made some inquiries, and it is said to be a drone adapted for the army."

"Army drones?"

Xu Zelin thought carefully for a moment, then frowned and asked, "What kind of army drone? Does it have such power?"

"I'm not sure, but they're definitely not to be underestimated."

The chief of staff added, "Because headquarters has already decided that foreign observer groups will be invited to observe this exercise."

"Headquarters wouldn't have made such a decision without absolute confidence, and also..."

"What else?"

Xu Zelin had a bad feeling when he saw the chief of staff suddenly stop halfway through his speech.

"The headquarters commander said this exercise was special. Losing is not shameful; what is shameful is secretly throwing the game."

Therefore, regardless of whether it's the red team or the blue team, and regardless of winning or losing, we must give 200% effort to complete the exercise.

He said he was afraid we, playing the role of an armored division, wouldn't give it our all and wouldn't display the prowess of the Blue Force in this exercise, causing us to lose face in front of the foreign observers…

The chief of staff hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "He secretly sent you a picture of a plaster."

What?!

Xu Zelin's eyes widened suddenly, and a layer of blood vessels appeared on his face at a visible speed.

"Zhang Xiangbo!!!"

Suddenly, Xu Zelin roared angrily!

"arrive!"

A soldier, 1.9 meters tall and wearing full field gear, rushed in.

"Summon all commanders at all levels throughout the army and form an armored division according to this exercise checklist!"

Xu Zelin slammed the exercise documents in front of the soldiers and roared, "In the upcoming training and exercises, anyone who dares to slack off will be personally punished and disciplined!"

"receive!"

Zhang Xiangbo gave a military salute, picked up the documents on the table, and rushed out.

"That's too mean! Absolutely too mean! Even if you're the head of headquarters, you can't push people like this!"

Xu Zelin watched Zhang Xiangbo leave, then paced back and forth in the conference room for a while, filled with unease. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he turned to look at the chief of staff.

"The last point in that document mentioned the families and children of core employees of core military industrial enterprises, as well as the families and children of senior commanders of major military regions."

"Can I sign up for training with the new equipment once I turn twelve? Will I be able to participate in military exercises with the Red Team then?"

"Yes, that's the explanation." The chief of staff nodded.

"I'll call home and ask them to submit Xiaohua's name. Also, tonight you should select a group of family members and children of our junior officers who are interested in joining the army and submit their names as well."

Xu Zelin took out his phone and was about to make a call.

"Wait, sir, you're breaking the rules..." the chief of staff hurriedly pointed out.

"What violation? Do you think I'm sending a spy?"

Xu Zelin said irritably, "I just wanted Xiaohua and the other children to experience our country's latest equipment together."

Let's see what kind of equipment this is that makes headquarters and that guy Lao Li so confident that they can beat our Blue Army with one-fifth of their manpower and equipment.

The Gulf War awakened our decades-long war mentality, and no one knows how the form of warfare will change in the future.

However, one thing is certain: the changes in future warfare will be based on entirely new technologies and equipment.

But we old guys are getting old, and our understanding of new equipment and technologies is far inferior to that of the young kids. Only by taking every opportunity to nurture the children can our army have a legacy and our country have a future…”

By 8:20 p.m., the sky had completely darkened.

After Lin Weiliang stayed behind to coordinate with the military region, he rubbed his throbbing temples and dragged his tired body home.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw two teenagers sitting in front of the computer in the study, the smooth sound of typing flowing like water.

"Qingling, Xiaodong, what game are you playing?"

Lin Weiliang took two bags of snacks and went inside, placing them on the table and curiously looking at the computer screen in front of the two people.

"Uncle Lin!"

Xu Qingling, who was engrossed in watching, suddenly snapped out of her reverie, greeted him politely and respectfully, and then explained, "Lin Dong said he's making a game, and I'm watching him write code."

game?

Lin Weiliang's gaze sharpened as he looked at the series of lines of code scrolling down the computer screen like a waterfall, requiring absolutely no thought.

Occasionally, when the code pauses, Lin Dong will reference a video clip or an image.

"Xiao Dong, is this... combat material from the military region?"

Lin Weiliang noticed that the content of these videos and pictures consisted of either videos of various weapons being launched or various scenes from live-fire exercises.

"Yes, it was found on the internal network and has already been decrypted."

Lin Dong nodded in response and then switched to the front-end interface.

On the screen, a first-person perspective of flying in the air appeared, moving forward, backward, left, right, up, and down as Lin Dong operated the controls, while below was the battlefield scene rendered by Lin Dong.

"What kind of game is this?"

Lin Weiliang's eyes lit up when he saw this.

As a passionate man and a military research scientist, he had an almost natural interest in military battlefield matters.

"Drone games, or drone pilot games."

Lin Dong said earnestly, "I used a realistic physics engine and real materials. Once the game is completed, players will be able to control various drones to participate in war instances, just like they would when actually operating an FPV drone."

Once I've finished developing the core algorithm and game engine and completed the encryption and encapsulation, my uncle will handle the remaining voice acting and content expansion by registering a game company.

Once the game is finished, we'll go through the internal process to recommend it to army units and military academies, and then hold a professional league every year. That way, we won't have to worry about a shortage of drone pilots in the country anymore...

"I'll be the first contestant!" Xu Qingling raised her hand and spoke up.

"..."

Lin Weiliang looked at Lin Dong, who had a calm expression, and then at Xu Qingling, whose eyes were practically sparkling with admiration. He couldn't help but think to himself, "What do you mean?"

This kid has a third of the charm I had when I was young.

"Don't stay out too late. You have school tomorrow, and in a couple of days you'll be participating in tactical training as FPV drone pilots."

Lin Weiliang shook his head and prepared to leave the study.

But just as he was about to leave, a quick glance caught sight of an unfinished engine design drawing on Lin Dong's laptop screen on the other side, and he stopped in his tracks.
