Chapter 754: Chapter 336: Technology Exhibition Booth 2

The employees of the Puli Group were responsible for introducing weapon products to delegations and tourists from all over the world.

Don’t forget, this is a Latin American defense exhibition, so the buyers aren’t just from Brazil, but also from other countries like Mexico and Argentina.

Although these countries haven’t made notable advancements in the military field, even a mosquito is still meat.

"Alright, attention ABC teams. Use the Puli Group’s booth as the security zone, with the leadership’s rest area as the core security zone; it’s the most critical area that needs protection. If anyone tries to cross this zone, their identity must be verified. Stay completely alert, understood?"

"Understood!"

If the core security zone is attacked, it will severely impact the safety of key personnel and task execution.

After arranging everything, Gu Ji found an excuse to inspect the escape routes of observation buildings and began patrolling the entire Brazil Convention Center.

This Brazil Defense Exhibition was unprecedented in scale, with five major exhibition areas set up for the first time. In addition to the traditional land, sea, and air exhibition areas, there were also special topic and future technology exhibition areas. 676 companies from 70 countries and regions participated, with over 700 pieces of equipment on display, covering a wide range that was overwhelming to see.

As Gu Ji browsed around, he found that aside from conventional weapons, the field with the most entries and popularity was drones.

Indeed.

In the battle of the Bekaa Valley in 1982, Israel deployed multiple drones in coordination with fighter jets, successfully destroying 19 Syrian anti-aircraft missile battalions.

This battle was the first to demonstrate the vast role of drones on the modern battlefield.

Theoretically, drones, being small, low cost, and easily replaceable, would be more adaptable to complex battlefield environments and more advantageous in tasks such as reconnaissance, control, and striking.

From a macro perspective, the presence of drones has been visible in several local wars after the 21st century.

Even at the micro level, in all the checkpoints and tasks Gu Ji participated in, drones played a crucial role in operations.

Looking at these reconnaissance drones, suicide drones.

A rather bold idea suddenly emerged in his mind:

If all these drones take off within the exhibition hall and are collectively controlled by a certain force, wouldn’t that be equivalent to a small air force squadron?

For exhibitors and tourists without any weapons, wouldn’t that be like being at someone else’s mercy!

Could this be the crisis factor?

Gu Ji’s thoughts weren’t just baseless speculations.

He deduced this conclusion partly from the equipment itself.

For safety considerations, all weapons in the exhibition center were powered off, and even the bullets and shells were simulation models.

The only ones with weapons were the security personnel authorized by Brazil and various countries.

Even so, Gu Ji and his team could only carry pistols; high-powered light weapons like the HK416 and grenades were kept in the parking lot to avoid accidental injury to civilians and cause panic.

However, drones required on-site demonstrations, and many were powered on, allowing free control within their respective booths.

This meant.

They were in usable condition.

On the other hand, since the Honor Realistic Checkpoint was bound to game options and rewards, it meant that the rewards somewhat reflected the implications behind the options.

[Hacker Invasion], does it subtly imply that these technological products are easily controlled by others?

After all, with the development of electronic computers and network information, hackers can even invade pacemakers, control them to pause working, or even explode. How can a drone, which itself relies on control for operation, be guaranteed not to be controlled?

So, to verify his thoughts.

Gu Ji directly went to the booth in front of him, picked up one of the suicide drones, and prepared to see if it was truly loaded with explosives.

"Sir, are you interested in this XT-4 suicide drone? Would you like some information about it?"

A sweet voice sounded from behind him.

Gu Ji turned around and saw a young woman wearing a blue jacket and a tight-fitting skirt resembling a flight attendant’s uniform, and like him, she had yellow skin.

Just as he was trying to determine if she was from the Xia Kingdom, Japan, or another East Asian country.

Unexpectedly, the company name on the badge on the usher’s chest caught his attention.

South Korea, AM Electronics!

Isn’t that Jiang Youzhen and Jiang Songyuan’s company!

Unexpectedly, their company was also involved in the military industry.

But it made sense. Several large Korean conglomerates such as Hyundai, Daewoo, Shansang, and LG were involved in the military industry, as arms dealing was one of the world’s most lucrative businesses.

During the two seconds that Gu Ji was distracted, the usher also noticed the badge on his chest.

Strictly speaking, he was currently part of the exhibitor team, so the badge read "Puli Group Employee from Xia Kingdom."

Uncertain if it was to avoid secret theft or trouble making by Gu Ji.

The usher turned her back on him sideways and pressed the button on her intercom.

Soon, two executives from the AM Group came over, accompanied by the sound of clicking high heels.

"Sir, I’m the person in charge of AM Electronics. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Gu Ji turned his head.

And saw a mature woman dressed in a white casual suit, with fair and smooth skin radiating a natural healthy glow.

Her hair was neatly tied up, her figure voluptuous, her lips thin and rosy; combined with a high nose bridge, her entire face appeared three-dimensional and exquisite. The most striking were her eyes, revealing a few traces of indifference in her polite gaze, with an elegant aura exuding from her, akin to the wealthy wives portrayed by Korean stars like Song Bao’Er.

Gu Ji felt that this person looked familiar.

He glanced at her name badge.

It boldly read: AM Electronics Executive, Jiang Youzhen!

Is she Jiang Youzhen?

Gu Ji’s eyes moved slightly, unexpectedly, her transformation was so significant. The once elegant and graceful young girl had now become a mature woman.

But thinking about it, it made sense. MERS was a classic checkpoint that occurred in 2015.

Now, ten years had passed, Jiang Youzhen must be at least thirty-six or thirty-seven.

"I was just curious if these suicide drones of yours were loaded with explosives?"

"Sir, what do you mean by that?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Youzhen’s face darkened a little, and she glanced at Gu Ji’s badge, "As an exhibitor employee, you should know that all exhibited weapons are not allowed to carry live ammunition."

Gu Ji acknowledged with an "oh", and ’click’, he removed the explosives from the drone.

After carefully weighing it, it felt just like a real explosive but lacked a detonating line and detonator, indicating it was merely a simulation model.

"What are you doing! You can’t just disassemble our things! Security!"

The female usher exclaimed.

Just about to call the security to drive him away, but Jiang Youzhen interrupted, her tone even colder than before, "Sir, what exactly do you want? If there’s nothing else, please don’t delay our work!"

"Apologies, I was just purely curious."

"Wow! That’s amazing!"

"This is the coolest weapon I’ve ever seen! God, could this be the mainstream on future battlefields!"

...

Just as the words fell, unexpectedly, a cheer burst from a nearby booth, drawing everyone’s eyes in the exhibition hall.

Unbeknownst to them, the exhibition had already begun, and tourists swarmed into the hall, taking pictures and experiencing everything. Quite a few gathered in front of a booth in the future technology exhibition area, seemingly watching some kind of performance.

Gu Ji quickly reassembled the drone and placed it down, then turned and walked towards the lively booth.

"Mr. Jiang, is this person not right in the head?"

"Just do your job."

Jiang Youzhen said nothing further, just coldly remarked and also turned her gaze to the booth surrounded by people.

"Turns out it’s the PM Company’s booth."

Gu Ji hardly squeezed through the gap, and upon taking a closer look, his eyes widened!
