Armed Drone

The upgraded Brainwave Control Device was incomparable to the used, low-end model Han Yang was currently using.

The performance of the current used, low-end model was already somewhat insufficient for Han Yang. Because the data traffic from the 13 computers combined was quite large, it was having trouble processing it and was overheating severely, causing Han Yang's head to feel like it was in a steamer all day.

Upgrading the Brainwave Control Device was already in the plans.

The new Brainwave Control Device was manufactured using some Ita technology, offering higher performance while being smaller in size. It was even only a few square centimeters in size and made of flexible material, allowing it to be directly attached to the back of the head. Of course, the prerequisite was to shave off the hair in that area.

There was no need to worry about it looking bad. With the new Brainwave Control Device, the antenna was disguised as hair. After shaving off the hair in that area and attaching it, it would blend in with the surrounding hair, making it impossible to tell unless looked at closely.

Although even the new Brainwave Control Device could only achieve limited communication with electronic devices, and was still inconvenient and impractical for direct control of electronic devices, it possessed another advantage that Han Yang could not ignore, and even valued greatly.

It could directly connect to the mobile phone signal network.

This solved a significant pain point for Han Yang: being unable to leave home while operating the robots.

After switching to this new type of Brainwave Control Device, Han Yang could go anywhere as long as there was a mobile phone signal. He could connect to the mobile phone signal network through the Brainwave Control Device, connect to his home network equipment through this network, and then connect to the robots, indirectly controlling them to work.

The data observed by the robots could also be transmitted to Han Yang's brain through this network for processing and calculation.

As long as the signal delay was small enough, no matter where Han Yang was, it would essentially be no different from him directly controlling the robots at home. This would free up Han Yang, greatly improving convenience.

Correspondingly, the price of the new Brainwave Control Device was also very expensive, costing as much as 160,000 yuan, which was simply unaffordable for ordinary people.

After buying the Brainwave Control Device, the drone, and customizing miscellaneous items like steel pipes, plus the 20,000 yuan returned to Shen the Butcher, the 300,000 yuan Han Yang had saved up in a month instantly shrunk to 30,000, making Han Yang wince with heartache.

"This money really doesn't last."

Han Yang sighed, "I still need to find a way to move out earlier, get my own place earlier, and expand the scale earlier."

During the few days waiting for the drone and Brainwave Control Device to arrive, Han Yang became more vigilant. Sometimes at night, he would even quietly hide inside the courtyard wall to peek at the movements outside. But in these few days, the person who had been watching him seemed not to have come.

A few days later, the purchased items arrived one after another. Han Yang immediately began assembling.

The four-rotor drone, including the rotors and frame, had a side length of about one meter, looking quite large when placed on the ground. It could carry a maximum weight of tens of kilograms, and when fully loaded, it could fly for about an hour on a single charge. When empty, flying for two hours was not a problem.

It was controlled by a mobile phone APP with an added remote controller. In good signal conditions, the straight-line control distance could reach up to 30 kilometers. Even if the signal was poor and interference was high, such as in the city, the minimum straight-line control distance was still five kilometers.

Han Yang turned it upside down and took out the customized steel pipe – it looked like a gun barrel, but it was just an ordinary steel pipe, fixed directly to the bottom of the drone with some buckles, chains, and the like.

Thus, a decent-looking armed drone was born.

Afterward, Han Yang began assembling the robot.

The precision of this robot was higher than that of the robot operating the computer, making it more difficult. Fortunately, Han Yang had accumulated enough experience and knowledge during this time, so the assembly was not difficult.

It was still in the style of two mechanical arms plus a camera, but it was used to operate the mobile phone and the drone's remote controller.

After everything was assembled, Han Yang carefully looked in the mirror, shaved off a patch of hair on the back of his head, and then attached the new Brainwave Control Device. After adjusting it and confirming it was not visible, he walked out of the house.

"Aunt Wang, a large bowl of noodles! Add some meat!"

"Have a seat, it'll be ready soon!"

Han Yang saw the middle-aged man again, who, although down and out, always tried his best to maintain his appearance. However, at this moment, he was not eating noodles here, but standing blankly on the street. Han Yang also ignored him.

Multitasking, Han Yang ate his noodles while directly using his brain to control the new Brainwave Control Device to connect to the mobile network, input a series of parameters, connect to his home network equipment, and then connect to the robots. Instantly, the images from the 13 computers appeared in Han Yang's mind.

With a thought, the immense computing power and precise processing ability of the computer CPU plus the human brain immediately came into play, calculating the next steps in an instant.

The signals were sent out, and the 13 robots immediately began to move, and the computer screens also began to change.

Everything was going smoothly, everything was operating as he expected, and Han Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, it was time to try operating the drone.

Han Yang carefully connected the 14th robot, matched some parameters, and the connection was successful. With a command, the robot immediately moved.

At this moment, Han Yang's own mobile phone was already fitted with the drone's remote controller and fixed on the desktop. The robot was also fixed in front of the table.

Following Han Yang's command, the robot immediately extended its mechanical arm and clicked the takeoff button. The next moment, the drone placed in the center of the small courtyard, with no obstructions around, had its four rotors spinning simultaneously.

Dust and smoke were blown up from the ground by the strong wind. Amidst a cloud of dust, the drone successfully took off.

The footage captured by the drone's camera was transmitted to the mobile phone, and then through the robot's camera, through the network equipment, mobile phone signal network, and Brainwave Control Device, it reached Han Yang's mind.

"The delay is about 80ms. It's not low, but it's acceptable."

Han Yang slightly relaxed.

With a thought, another command was accurately transmitted from Han Yang's brain to the robot operating the drone's remote controller.

The robot's mechanical arm moved, carefully controlling the drone's joystick, and the drone immediately moved.

Maintaining a height of two to three meters, it skillfully flew in the narrow courtyard, even flying directly into the house through the open window of the side room.

After experimenting for a long time and confirming that all parameters were understood, Han Yang finally felt confident.
