259: Chapter 259 Go to Jingmen City for Testing

The two boarded the aircraft and flew towards Jingmen City.

That's because there are mutated Antss there, and also mutated fish in the Yangtze River. All tests can be completed in one location.

In less than an hour, the aircraft arrived near Changjing Bridge in Jingmen City.

North of Changjing Bridge, a solid defense line had been formed through the continuous repairs by the Soldiers. At this time, the Soldiers on duty saw a strange aircraft approaching and all craned their necks to watch.

Commander Yan had already given the heads-up, so no combat alert was received.

The aircraft did not cross the river; it hovered over the south bank of the river.

"Target prey detected. Proceed with capture?" A notification appeared on the electronic screen inside the aircraft.

Along with the notification, a real-time image of the target prey's location also popped up.

"Commander Yan, you try it." Oriental Chen handed this opportunity to capture and kill to Yan Zhengping.

"Alright, I'll do it." Yan Zhengping sat in front of another screen and clicked the capture button.

As the button was pressed, with a "whoosh," a laser beam shot out from the aircraft, directly hitting the target prey.

The Odontomachus inermis ant, over two meters long, was hit directly in a vital spot by this laser beam, collapsing to the ground, curling into a ball, and becoming motionless.

Immediately after, two mechanical arms extended from the aircraft, firmly gripping the Ants and sending it into the intake port located at the bottom of the aircraft.

After the intake port closed, the screen displayed the progress of feed production and the estimated yield.

30 minutes later, processing was complete, yielding a total of 200 jin of feed. This 200 jin of feed had already been packaged into 50 jin bags.

Although the processing time required 30 minutes, it does not mean that 30 minutes of waiting is needed for each capture. The intake port can continuously feed, and the production line can run continuously. Therefore, there is no need to wait during mass production.

"Can we go directly from the cockpit to the finished product area?" Yan Zhengping asked.

He wanted to see what the finished feed looked like.

"No. To save space, no pedestrian passage was designed between the cockpit and the warehouse. Furthermore, to ensure the safety of personnel, pilots are generally not allowed to leave their seats after the aircraft takes off. Once the seatbelt is unbuckled, the aircraft will automatically enter a high-altitude cruising state to ensure no safety incidents occur." Oriental Chen didn't speak, but an electronic voice in the cockpit had already answered the question.

"This aircraft is so smart!" Yan Zhengping exclaimed.

He thought about how even the most advanced fighter jets in his Southwest Military Region couldn't compare to this aircraft used for producing feed, and he couldn't help but feel a little sour.

"Let's try fishing in the water again," Yan Zhengping said.

So the aircraft moved towards the river surface.

There are two modes for fishing in water: one for catching small fish and one for catching large fish.

Upon entering a body of water, the aircraft will first extend a probe underwater to detect the surrounding 2-kilometer area to determine if large fish are present.

If large fish are present, they will be prioritized for capture.

The method for capturing large fish is relatively crude.

After locking onto the large fish's position, the aircraft will release a probe with a tracking function. The tail of the probe is an extremely tough rope, and the other end of the rope is on a reel in the aircraft.

At the same time, the probe is equipped with a thruster and will automatically track the locked large fish once placed in the water.

Once it gets close to the large fish, the probe will release a spear and shoot it into the large fish's body. After the spear enters the body, it will automatically release several micrometer robots. These micrometer robots will directly attack the large fish's brain nerves, and in about a minute, the large fish will die.

If the large fish's volume does not exceed the intake port at the bottom of the aircraft, the rope will be pulled to retrieve the large fish directly.

If the large fish is too large to be retrieved at once, the rope will be slowly reeled in, bringing the large fish closer.

Once close, the aircraft will release a cutter to section the large fish directly in the water.

Each section cut will be retrieved. This continues until the entire large fish has been recovered.

The subsequent process is the same.

The recovered fish sections will enter the aircraft's production line and be directly processed into feed and bagged.

If there are no large fish.

Then the aircraft will lower a large metal cage. The size of the metal cage is just right to enter the intake port.

Some bloody meat bait will be placed inside the metal cage.

Once the cage is submerged, small fish, sensing the scent of blood, will pass through the cage opening and enter the cage.

But the cage opening is one-way.

These fish can get in, but they can't get out.

When the number of fish in the cage reaches a certain quantity, the aircraft will retrieve the cage and enter the intake port.

This operational sequence cannot be reversed. A detector must first be released into the water to determine if there are large fish in the surrounding waters. If not, rashly submerging the cage could lead to attacks by large fish.

Of course, if a large fish approaches during the process of catching small fish, the aircraft will immediately ascend, lifting the cage out of the water.

"Already reached the designated water area. Detector can be deployed." A prompt sounded from the screen.

Yan Zhengping clicked to deploy.

Subsequently, a radar-like circular display appeared on the screen, beginning to detect the surrounding waters.
