Rebirth: Starting with 10 Billion Us Dollars

128: Chapter 128 EvacuationImmediately after, several dragon haters jumped out, only to be fiercely shut down by netizens:

”They’re hyping it up way too much; it must be fake. Foreign civilian drones are the real kings; Dragon Country can’t possibly build such high-end goods.”

”The specs must be made up, right? How could such technology exist in 2014? It’s a pure marketing scam, just tricking fools!”

”The stealth is all talk. If it were really that impressive, why aren’t major corporations scrambling for it? It’s just for show!”

”Get out, you foreign-worshippers! Tianxing’s technology is right there at the airshow. So many professional buyers are watching; if you’re blind, go get treated!”

”Have these haters been paid off by foreign capital? Snapping like rabid dogs here—the strength of the tianxing generation is obvious to everyone!”

”If you don’t like it, swipe away. Don’t smear our own national technology here; it’s disgusting!”

”Is the moon really rounder abroad? Has any technology Chen Mo brought out ever fallen short? Anyone with half a brain could tell it’s real!”

”You don’t criticize Old Jia’s rebranded junk, but you target legitimate self-developed civilian masterpieces. What kind of malicious intent is that!”

”Ignore these haters and focus on the tianxing generation. This is a solid product with maximum practicality!”

”I’ve already recommended it to all my business friends who use drones. Support Chen Mo, support Tianxing, and support our Dragon Country’s self-developed tech!”

”Waiting for the mass production of the tianxing generation. In the future, when we go out for exploration and mapping, we’ll finally have top-tier domestic drones to use!”

Regardless of how the dragon haters ranted, the Tianxing Aviation booth was already packed with domestic and foreign buyers, all asking about orders and cooperation.

Wu Dongju raised her hand to signal for quiet and said directly:

”Everyone, please stay calm. I will explain everything clearly!”

”First, the tianxing generation is not accepting overseas orders for the time being. We are only supplying domestically; overseas business will be discussed later!”

As soon as she said this, the foreign buyers nearby immediately changed their expressions and began shouting. Wu Dongju ignored them and signaled Tianxing Security to handle it.

Then she continued:

”Second, regarding pricing, the costs for high and low configurations as well as custom models vary. You can inquire with Tianxing’s official customer service; the prices are clearly marked, and we treat everyone fairly!”

”Third, some high-end features involve regulations. Individuals and private companies cannot install or bypass restrictions on their own. They must submit an application to the authorities, and customization can only proceed after approval. Tianxing will not accept any non-compliant orders!”

The domestic buyers nodded repeatedly. Some contacted Tianxing’s customer service right there at the booth, while corporate representatives directly pulled staff aside, wanting to sign letters of intent on the spot.

Chen Mo stood at the back of the booth. Just as he was about to turn and leave, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang. He walked to a quiet spot near the booth to answer it.

”Mr. Chen, over in Samarra, Iraq, more than 1,200 compatriots are trapped!” Old Xu’s voice came from the other end of the phone.

After the operation ended, Chen Mo had taken off his headset, so Old Xu called him directly if anything came up.

Chen Mo frowned slightly and asked:

”Tell me in detail. When did this happen?”

”Local extremist militants have seized the city and blocked the roads. Our 1,258 compatriots building the power station in Samarra, Iraq, are trapped in their camp. Food, medicine, and fuel are all running low, and the sound of gunfire and artillery is right outside the camp—people don’t even dare to sleep! The authorities say everyone must be evacuated safely!”

”The government cannot directly send the military to intervene in another country. Knowing that Tianxing’s technology is advanced, they’re asking if our drones can assist our compatriots in the evacuation!”

After hearing this, Chen Mo said directly:

”No problem. You lead the team yourself. Take five tianxing generation drones and fly to Baghdad immediately to fully cooperate with the official evacuation operation!”

”Understood, Mr. Chen! I’ll arrange it right away!”

Old Xu replied.

”Wait, I’m going with you!”

Chen Mo stopped Old Xu over the phone and said.

”Ah! Mr. Chen, you’re going too?!”

Old Xu was very surprised on the other end of the line.

”Yes, I’m going. It’s not like I’m going to the front lines; we’re just assisting the evacuation. Besides, my physical skills aren’t bad; nothing will go wrong!”

Chen Mo said.

”Alright then, Mr. Chen!”

Old Xu could only agree.

After hanging up, Chen Mo walked back to Wu Dongju and said:

”You keep an eye on things here at the airshow. I need to go abroad and will be back in a few days.”

Although Wu Dongju was puzzled, she nodded and said:

”Go with peace of mind; I’ll watch over things here. Safe journey!”

Chen Mo: ...

Why does that sound so wrong!

However, Chen Mo didn’t delay. He immediately found Old Xu, met up with the notified technical team, grabbed the equipment, and headed straight for the airport.

The airport had also received notice from above and gave them the green light all the way. Chen Mo and his team boarded a private jet and flew straight to Baghdad.

(Note: The real event did not happen on this timeline; it has been adjusted for the plot.)

On July 5th, the team arrived in Baghdad. The local temperature was nearing 46°C, and the entire city was sweltering.

The Samarra camp was surrounded so tightly that not even a drop of water could get through. Communication was intermittent, and the trapped compatriots were living in constant fear, only daring to sleep two or three hours a day.

As soon as Wang Wei, the military attaché of the Embassy in Iraq, saw Chen Mo, he immediately came forward and said:

”Mr. Chen, thank you very much for your support! The two previous evacuation attempts failed; the ground is covered with checkpoints and militants!”

While signaling the technicians to start debugging the drones, Chen Mo said:

”Don’t worry. The tianxing generation has a service ceiling of 18,000 meters, and its stealth performance surpasses the world’s best. Ground radar can’t detect it at all. With a 0.1-meter resolution, we can see exactly where the dangers and safe paths are on the ground.”

As he spoke, five tianxing generation drones took off silently, circling high in the sky like invisible guardians. They transmitted real-time footage of the route from Samarra to Baghdad, including militant outposts and checkpoints, back to the temporary command center in Baghdad.

The clarity of the tianxing generation drones was incredibly high; even the movements of people on the ground could be seen clearly.

Wang Wei stared at the large screen, his eyes full of shock:

”My god, this is even better than military reconnaissance equipment! With it escorting us, we can avoid many dangers during this evacuation!”

On July 6th, the first batch of evacuations began. Women, the elderly, and injured compatriots were evacuated first, flying to Baghdad via Iraqi military helicopters.

The tianxing generation drones accompanied the flight throughout. Halfway through, gunshots suddenly rang out from the ground. Bullets whizzed past the helicopter, and the crew instantly panicked.

Chen Mo stared at the real-time footage on the large screen and said calmly:

”Don’t panic. The drones have locked onto the enemy’s fire source. Yaw 300 meters to the left to evade the attack!”

The helicopter immediately adjusted its course and successfully evaded the fire. More than half an hour later, 45 compatriots landed safely. As soon as they stepped off the helicopter, they grabbed the hands of the embassy staff and said excitedly, ”Thank you, thank you to our country!”
