Different World Card Master: Change the World with Cards

254: promiseHowever, he didn’t expect his words to have no effect; instead, Sun Puge became more and more detailed, as if he wanted to immediately hang someone up and fly.

“It’s fine, you can control the flight altitude, so you can fly and fight over the swamps. Also, soldiers can wear parachutes for cushioning. If they fall, they can just open the parachute.”

As Sun Puge spoke, his eyes lit up, and he patted Xu Bai’s shoulder.

“Xiao Bai, honestly, many soldiers’ bodies have already been strengthened to a certain extent. While they aren’t strong enough to fall from hundreds of meters unharmed, they can jump from over ten meters without incident. So, with some cushioning for the soldiers, there can still be safety guarantees.”

“But aren’t there also flying Beast Tides at high altitudes? If they fall, they’ll be attacked. If we want to add a protective shield, the drone probably can’t bear the weight.”

Sun Puge shook his head.

“Xiao Bai, your thinking isn’t right. Don’t avoid doing something just because you’re afraid of casualties. Are our soldiers most afraid of death? No, while they fear death, they fear even more not taking more lives from the Beast Tide before they die.

And when they go up, they will also attack the flying Beast Tide. In our view, both the ground and high altitudes are equally dangerous.”

Administrator: “Yes, Xiao Bai, casualties are inevitable. You just need to conduct the research. We will arrange subsequent practical combat based on the situation. We also don’t want soldiers to sacrifice in vain, but valuable sacrifices are necessary in our eyes.”

Xu Bai looked at the two people in front of him, then scanned the soldiers nearby. From their eyes, he could see their agreement with what the Administrator and Sun Puge said.

So, he compromised.

“Alright, then I will research human-carrying drones.”

Indeed, when it comes to fighting, soldiers are the professionals. Since they think this is a good idea, he will create it for them to try.

Besides, he wasn’t the one being hoisted up. Once he researched it, he would let them do as they pleased.

After discussing the matter of enlarging drones to carry people, their conversation returned to weapons.

While enabling soldiers to fly directly into the sky to fight is a very good idea, drones capable of carrying weapons cannot be abandoned. In the future, the two can be combined for greater flexibility.

Xu Bai considered the time. He would need to research human-carrying drones, arrange for soldiers to practice controlling drones and aerial combat, and test various weapons. At that time, he also wanted to research whether video observation was possible.

This series of research would take a considerable amount of time. Perhaps by the time everything was researched, the Beast Tide would already be over.

At this point, Xu Bai no longer wanted to do all the research himself; he decided to seek help.

Many time-consuming tasks could be delegated to others, and some could also be done simultaneously.

First was the research on installing weapons on drones. After all, he didn’t know many weapons, and much of his weapon knowledge came from playing games in his previous life. He hadn’t seen the weapons of this world. The previous sniper rifle was just a concept he proposed, and it was Sun Puge who led its development.

Therefore, to know which weapons are effective, which are not, and which are suitable for attachment to drones, they were the experts in this area.

He didn’t need to try and research everything thoroughly himself.

“By the way, I don’t have any good ideas for weapons to be mounted on drones. My understanding of weapons isn’t deep, and I’m not clear about the types of weapons available, so I need help. I wonder if Elder Sun would be able to send some people over to research together, or to collaborate with your Research Institute.”

“No problem, I happen to have a research team here that specializes in weapon manufacturing. I can have them collaborate with the people from your Research Institute.”

Upon hearing Xu Bai’s request, Sun Puge readily agreed.

Although he had long been tempted to join the research, he was not someone who lacked tact.

When someone else’s research has already yielded results, if you want to join now, wouldn’t it seem like you’re trying to piggyback on their achievements? Although he didn’t have such an intention, he couldn’t be the one to propose joining.

Now that Xu Bai had brought it up, it was a perfect opportunity for both sides to achieve a win-win situation.

The Administrator saw the two of them and didn’t stop them. In fact, he was very happy to see such a scenario.

Forced arrangements are never as good as mutual willingness.

“If we’re mounting weapons, then recoil needs to be carefully considered.”

At this point, Sun Puge also realized this problem.

Xu Bai: “Right, because there will be an interaction between forces. If the recoil is too great, the drone’s flight will be unstable.”

Sun Puge nodded, agreeing with Xu Bai’s statement.

“Let them research that later. For example, the weapon-equipped drones and human-carrying drones can have different positioning, depending on which level of Beast Tide they are each designed to attack.”

Hearing his suggestion, Xu Bai suddenly had an epiphany; he had been too narrow-minded before.

He had always only thought about creating one type of drone, treating it as an all-rounder, wanting it to fight ten enemies at once, without considering giving it a specific role. It was like a sniper rifle, which is also a type of gun, but its role is long-range attack.

Therefore, drones could also be divided into several types, each with a specific role, and then optimized for certain functions.

After Xu Bai figured this out, he put it aside and delegated the subsequent research to others.

Controlling drones still required human input.

“Administrator, the drones have now been manufactured, but as you can see, controlling them isn’t something just anyone can do well. In my Research Institute, Fan Jiaping seems to be doing very well, but others can only fly the drones forward, backward, left, and right.

So, I need you to send some people to learn, or rather, to specialize in how to control drones.”

Administrator: “Okay, I understand. I will arrange for people to come as soon as possible.”

With that, the Administrator glanced at the drone in the sky again.

How should he arrange the personnel?

If it was for weapon-equipped drones, then ordinary people could be assigned, as this only required testing reaction time, hand speed, and eyesight.

However, if it was for human-carrying drones, it would be best to assign soldiers, as there is a certain tacit understanding among soldiers. A lack of understanding could easily lead to problems. But if soldiers were to control drones, would it be a waste of their skills?

Forget it, he couldn’t think of any good methods. He was essentially just the mascot of the Research Institute, ensuring that the Research Institute wouldn’t be interfered with by others at will.

These issues would be better discussed in a meeting later, to hear other people’s opinions.
