97: The best cover
However, despite being used to the convenience of modern life, Xu Ning still decided to try the effectiveness of this traditional tool.
The Rabbit Country's night vision device was still in its initial stage, with limited functions and an effect that could only be described as barely usable.
When the military factory designed it, it was only to prevent users from falling when walking at night. If one expected this device, which could only see one or two meters away, to be used for night combat, it would be asking too much of it.
Looking at the night vision device in his hand, Xu Ning couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead, but he felt a hint of relief in his heart because he thought of a way to improve it. Otherwise, in tonight's mission, wearing such a thing, he couldn't even imagine what the scene would be like.
Xu Ning only agreed to this night operation after hearing Xie Biao say that the team had night vision devices, but he didn't expect that the "night vision device" Xie Biao mentioned was so different from what he imagined.
This couldn't be entirely blamed on Xu Ning. After all, in this era, the Rabbit Country was still blank in many undeveloped weapon fields, and the Shanhai Industry he founded had just started, and the research team had not yet grown strong.
It seems I need to speed up! Xu Ning put away his thoughts. Time was pressing, and he only had half a day left. The most important thing now was to improve the performance of the night vision device.
As his mind started, the familiar virtual data screen appeared in his mind.
[Extracting data, technology tree simulator is about to start]
Looking at these data diagrams that only he could see, Xu Ning's mouth curved slightly upward, and he said softly, "The current night vision device is too bulky. We need to change the materials to make it lighter and more portable."
"Infrared technology also needs to be greatly improved so that we can see farther."
"Heat source detection is necessary, but I'm not sure if I can find suitable materials here..." Xu Ning thought, "Let's add it first. If it really doesn't work, I'll adjust it later."
"The design also needs to be simpler, and we need to leave some room for upgrades." While thinking, he adjusted the design drawing in his mind.
As he thought, those design elements kept changing in his mind, and the image of the new night vision device gradually became clear in his heart. His eyes sparkled with excitement.
"Even if Kadeyafu doesn't cooperate with me, with this new equipment, the success rate of tonight's mission will be greatly increased." Xu Ning was full of confidence in his design. Once this new type of night vision device was manufactured, the night would become their best cover.
With this equipment, the Hunter Vulture Squad's combat effectiveness at night would be raised to a new level. When the design parameters of the night vision device flowed into his brain, he realized that some auxiliary materials were also needed. Fortunately, these materials were not difficult to find.
Sun Bo had a wide network of contacts in the local area and could definitely help solve these problems. So, Xu Ning walked towards Xie Biao, who was busy nearby. The team members were still immersed in the joy of finding a large number of Yun Nu III Type explosives. As the Captain, Xie Biao was even more beaming.
When he learned that he could use this batch of weapons, his smile became even brighter. At this time, he habitually took out the small notebook he carried with him and wrote something rustlingly.
"Have you notified Sun Bo? When will he arrive?" Xu Ning walked closer and asked.
"I've already contacted him. He should be here soon," Xie Biao replied.
"What are you writing?" Xu Ning became interested in the notebook.
"Oh, nothing. I'm just checking the quantity of these explosives. Although we are leaving tonight, I still want to confirm the location and quantity of the supplies. This is my habit."
"This way, in future battles, whether attacking or retreating, I can better formulate strategies."
He was also thinking about how to propose changing equipment. They used to use Yun Nu II, and now they had the opportunity to upgrade to Yun Nu III Type.
Of course, he didn't want to miss such an opportunity. Just as he was considering how to make this suggestion, Xu Ning spoke first: "I see that you used Yun Nu II before. If there are Yun Nu III Type here, you should all switch to the new ones."
When Xie Biao heard this, his appreciation for Xu Ning increased even more.
"Can we really switch? Boss."
"Of course. Tell me how many you used later, and I'll talk to Sun Bo. I will bear the cost."
After hearing this, Xie Biao immediately closed the booklet in his hand, walked to the front of the team, clapped his hands, and when everyone noticed, he said, "Guys, unload our Yun Nu and replace them all with Yun Nu III Type!"
"Boss Xu said that we can use the Yun Nu III Type here freely, and he will be responsible for all the costs in the end!"
When the team members heard this, smiles appeared on their faces one by one.
"Captain, is this true?"
"Of course it's true. The Boss said that everything we replace will be paid for by him!"
"Then what else is there to say? The Boss is really generous!"
"Yes, generous!"
The team members sincerely praised Xu Ning one after another. With the support of the Chairman Xu of Shanhai Industry, they felt very encouraged.
For Xu Ning, this amount of money was just a drop in the bucket. Moreover, although Yun Nu III Type was an individual weapon, due to its size and weight, each person could carry at most one, unless they had an extraordinary physique like Big Guy, who might be able to carry two.
Therefore, they could only add a total of six Yun Nu III Type explosives, which was already the maximum load capacity for a single-person squad.
Inside the President's office.
President Dudakaev of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria had a rare smile on his face, listening attentively to Vice President Sari's report. Although the report was long and complex, he listened with relish until Sari finished reading the last document, and then the President asked:
"Which country's emergency security committee has not yet received the support of Arctic Bear President Yeltsin?"
"Yes, President," Sari pushed up his glasses and replied. Although he was over fifty, his beard was neatly trimmed, and he exuded an air of elegance and wisdom.
"It seems that this change will not last too long," Dudakov said. "They may end soon."
"Intelligence shows that they are discussing who will go to the villa in Crimea by the Black Sea to pick up President Gorbachev, who is 'on vacation,'" Sari added, a smile flashing in his eyes.
They both knew in their hearts that this meant they no longer had to worry about a new organization interfering with their independence plan.
Only when facing a declining old organization would their chances of success be higher. In the past, allied countries had already declared independence, and the old organization did not interfere due to lack of strength.
"In addition," Sari continued, "the intelligence we just received shows that other allied countries are also actively preparing for independence."
"At that time, we can take the opportunity to declare independence, so that the possibility of the Arctic Bear dealing with us will be much smaller."
"It seems the people at the Intelligence Station didn't lie to us."
