.
After Shi Lei admitted that the Steel Cruise Ship would fail, Krayt was stunned.
So was Toby!
Harvey also looked at Shi Lei in shock.
The three of them looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
Didn't Shi Lei know that if the Steel Cruise Ship could not find Dawson, it would be Dawson's victory?
"I'm sorry, Mr. Shi. What did you say?" Krayt asked, thinking that he had misheard.
Shi Lei laughed out loud. Looking at the shocked trio, Shi Lei repeated, "If Deputy Principal Dawgson finds an ideal hiding place, one that won't be directly detected by the optical detection system of the Steel Cruise, then the Steel Cruise's optical detection system won't be able to detect him.
At the same time, if Deputy Director Dawson does not take off his anti-infrared thermal detection combat suit, the Steel Cruise Ship will not be able to find him. "
"But …" Before Krayt could finish, Shi Lei interrupted him.
"Okay, let's not talk about this. I will discuss it with Deputy Director Dawson later.
As for what we are doing now, do you know how to barbecue? "Shi Lei asked.
Krayt nodded and volunteered, "I'm good at barbecue!"
The difference between foreigners and Mr. Xia's people was immediately apparent.
Foreigners preferred to show off, unlike Mr. Xia's people, who preferred to keep a low profile.
"Wow, Krayt, hurry up and help!
I'm starving. Hurry up and make some barbecue for me! "Shi Lei said without hesitation.
Krayt knew Shi Lei's identity and his position as the CEO of Dream Entertainment. Krayt was touched by Shi Lei's approachability.
"Okay, Mr. Shi!" Krayt walked to a barbecue rack that had been set up and volunteered to start a fire.
Shi Lei stood next to Guo Ziyang and asked with a smile, "Captain Guo, I'm curious. Why do you have a barbecue rack and even charcoal for barbecue?"
Guo Ziyang quickly explained, "Officer Shi, it's going to be Chinese New Year next month. The soldiers can't go home and we can't make any delicious food here.
So, we are going to have a barbecue party during Chinese New Year.
These were all prepared in advance. "
Regarding this explanation, Shi Lei nodded to express his understanding.
This was the hardship of being a soldier. Even if it was the New Year, they couldn't go home!
Shi Lei patted Guo Ziyang's shoulder and smiled. "Don't worry. Since I gave the order, I won't mess up your Spring Festival barbecue."
"That's great!"
Guo Ziyang heaved a sigh of relief. "Officer Shi, I was just worried. What should we do if the higher-ups don't agree to our request for supplies?"
Shi Lei just chuckled and didn't continue the conversation.
That was because the 20 Steel Aircraft had already started cruising using automatic mode and a predetermined route.
In the forest.
Dawson lived up to Shi Lei's expectations. He found a very good hiding place, a small cave formed by piles of rocks.
This small cave was only about two meters deep. It was ventilated from the front to the back, and the width was at most half a meter.
Dawson found a relatively flat stone to use as a pillow and lay down in the small cave.
Since the anti-infrared thermal detection combat suit covered the user from head to toe, there was no problem for Dawson to lie down on the ground.
After lying down comfortably, Dawson checked his watch and found that half an hour had passed. He whispered to himself, "Looks like the Steel Aircraft should have set off, right?
Humph, I want to see if the Steel Aircraft is so magical! "
After another half an hour, Dawson vaguely heard the sound of propellers behind the Steel Aircraft.
When he heard it, Dawson's body tensed up. But when the sound of propellers got closer and closer, and then got farther and farther, Dawson relaxed.
"Hey, looks like the Steel Aircraft isn't that magical after all!"
Dawson was very pleased with himself. As his tense mind relaxed, waves of sleepiness hit him one after another.
In less than five minutes, Dawson put on the anti-infrared thermal detection combat suit and fell into a deep sleep in the cave.
Fortunately, although the anti-infrared thermal detection combat suit blocked the exchange of human body temperature with the outside world, it didn't block the exchange of air.
Dawson didn't have to face the risk of suffocation. Instead, it was equivalent to hiding in a sleeping bag and sleeping comfortably.
In the training ground, Shi Lei and the others were eating barbecued meat. Krayt's barbecuing skills were indeed quite good. The meat he barbecued had a unique flavor.
As Krayt grilled a pork skewer for Shi Lei, he asked, "Mr. Shi, is the Steel Aircraft really unable to find a deputy director?"
It had been more than 40 minutes since the Steel Aircraft had set off, but it still hadn't sent out any notification.
Shi Lei swallowed the last piece of pork and picked up a skewer that was already barbecued on the metal rack before answering, "Yes.
The Steel Cruise Ship's detection mechanism included optical identification and infrared thermal detection.
Although it has an onboard radar, the radar is more inclined to search for targets in the air, not on the ground.
If the optical identification and infrared thermal detection can't find the target, then the target can't be found. "
After explaining a little, Shi Lei took a bite of a piece of pork and continued, "Deputy Director Dawson should have found a good place to hide. As I said at the beginning, the Steel Aircraft can't find Deputy Director Dawson."
Krayt was puzzled. He didn't know what Shi Lei was planning, but the Steel Aircraft couldn't find Dawson. Krayt was afraid that Dawson would use this as an excuse to not bring the Steel Aircraft in.
Krayt keenly noticed that there was something wrong with Dawson about bringing the Steel Aircraft in, but he didn't know what the problem was.
He had a feeling that Dawson didn't want to bring the Steel Aircraft in.
January 16th, 4: 14 AM.
The barbecue party was coming to an end. Guo Ziyang's face was greasy from eating. He walked to Shi Lei's side with a worried look in his eyes. "Chief Shi, the Steel Aircraft still hasn't found that guy?"
"They definitely can't find him.
That guy is hiding. The Steel Aircraft can't find him.
Captain Guo, pass down the order. Our people should prepare to go home and sleep.
As for Dawson, he will come out in the morning.
If I'm not wrong, Dawson should have found a place to sleep, right? "Shi Lei laughed.
Guo Ziyang hesitated for a moment and asked, "Chief Shi, that Dawson doesn't seem to want to buy the Steel Aircraft. Why are you still selling it to them?"
Shi Lei turned his head and stared sharply at Guo Ziyang. He asked with a faint smile, "Captain Guo, who are you asking this question on behalf of?"
Guo Ziyang was a little nervous. "Chief Shi, I'm just asking casually."
"Is that so?"
Shi Lei stared at Guo Ziyang, making Guo Ziyang feel very uncomfortable. However, the next moment, Shi Lei looked away and said calmly, "Because of the benefits!"
Without waiting for Guo Ziyang to continue asking, Shi Lei said again, "It's because of the huge benefits!
The cost of the Steel Aircraft is not high, but the selling price is very high.
The benefits involved are something that Rongcheng Military District cannot give up.
Please remember, I am also a member of the Rongcheng Military District, and I am proud of the Rongcheng Military District! "
Guo Ziyang certainly did not believe this standard answer, but since Shi Lei did not want to say it, Guo Ziyang naturally did not ask again.
"Rongcheng Military District is proud of the Rongcheng Military District!"
Guo Ziyang seconded. After that, Guo Ziyang ordered his subordinates to start cleaning up the battlefield.
Harvey hurried to Shi Lei's side and asked, "Mr. Shi, has Deputy Director Dawson been found in the Steel Aircraft?"
Shi Lei nodded and explained again, "Mr. Harvey, don't worry. Deputy Director Dawson is definitely fine. He might be sleeping somewhere right now!"
In order to reassure Harvey, Shi Lei said nonsense, "Mr. Harvey, actually, that infrared thermal detector combat suit has a built-in heart rate monitor.
Deputy Director Dawson's heart rate is normal. After analyzing it, he should be sleeping. "
Harvey's expression was a little awkward. Deputy Director Dawson had fallen asleep during the test?
"Mr. Shi, what should we do now?"
Harvey asked. They could not just sit here and wait for Deputy Director Dawson to fall asleep, right?
Shi Lei clapped his hands and said, "Mr. Harvey, you go and explain to Krayt and Toby. We will go back to the training ground and sleep together.
When morning comes, the Steel Aircraft will naturally find Deputy Director Dawson. "
Harvey thought for a while and reluctantly agreed, "Okay!"
There was probably no other way. After all, if they wanted to find Dawson, how were they going to find him?
Everyone returned to the base of the training ground. Guo Ziyang arranged a simple room for Shi Lei. After a simple wash, Shi Lei lay down on the white sheets.
Shi Lei did not feel sleepy, as the effects of the coffee had not yet worn off. He used the LIP lens type information processor to check the information.
"Izur, did you find any relevant information?"
Shi Lei asked Izur. Previously, Shi Lei had given Izur a task to investigate a place called Kampas in Africa.
This place was not famous. It was just a small place, but it hid a big secret. Shi Lei wanted to promote the sale of arms from Rongcheng Military District to Kruger National Park because of this place.
Shi Lei wanted to set up a force that belonged to him in Africa. In fact, it was also for this place.
If it was not for the secret hidden in Kampas, Shi Lei would not have bothered to chat with that idiot Dawson of Kruger National Park.
"Sir, there is a lot of electromagnetic interference in the Kampas area. The GPS system is unable to determine the relevant location," Izur replied Shi Lei.
The Kampas area was indeed unable to be observed through satellites. Shi Lei only had a little hope.
"What about the surrounding area?" Shi Lei asked again.
"Sir, the surrounding area of Kampas is desolate. There is no abnormal situation." Izur reported useless information.
But Shi Lei knew that this was definitely not normal!
That was why Shi Lei wanted to promote this arms sale and use the Steel Aircraft to personally investigate the Kampas area!
