Lin Rui nodded, "There is one more thing, in addition to our team, this operation - Raytheon Company, as the employer, will also send people to participate. ”

"What kind of person?" Jason frowned.

"Should be an expert in drones. So this time, not only did we have to recover the drone, but we also had to ensure the safety of the employer-appointed experts. The value of this drone research and development expert is no less than the aircraft itself. Lin Rui said helplessly.

"Why is this happening? Does Raytheon have to send someone to keep an eye on us?" Yelena frowned, "Isn't it too cumbersome for us to go on a mission with a layman?"

"No way, it's an employer's request. I tried to refuse, but both Mr. Long and Silver Wolf said it was non-negotiable. We took on this task and had to meet the employer's requirements. So even though it will be more troublesome, we have to do what the host asks. Lin Rui said helplessly.

There was a knock on the door to the war room. Lin Rui and the other team members were a little stunned, because the knock on the door was too rhythmic. Knock three times, pause, then three more times, pause.

Lin Rui said a little inexplicably, "Come in." ”

Coming in was a young man, who looked thin, wearing glasses, a short-sleeved shirt, a tie, and neatly combed hair. However, such a person should not usually be on this small island. Most of the mercenaries here are five big and three thick, this young man who looks polite and restrained, no matter how he looks like a college student. And he's the kind of serious and well-behaved student.

The young man who looked like a good student tried to keep smiling as much as he could, "Actually, I'm not an amateur, at least not when it comes to drones." I am the deputy leader of the fifth R&D team of Raytheon. You can call me Louie. ”

Lin Rui looked at him and said, "You are the expert who wants to act with us?"

Louis nodded, "Yes, don't worry, I won't affect your actions, and I can help you a little." You know, I'm not a combatant, but I've had some training. I also have a pistol, which I don't use very often, but I have basic shooting training. ”

"Uh, excuse me, can you put your gun away. Lin Rui said helplessly, "I don't mean to offend, but if you really have received shooting training, you should know basic common sense, that is, you can't point the gun at people." ”

"And it's better to have the safety off for a gun in your pocket. Shogishi walked over with a smile and turned off the safety on Louie's pistol.

"Oh. I'm sorry, but I'm not really familiar with that. Louis looked embarrassed.

Lin Rui shook his head and said, "Okay, Mr. Team Leader, I'd better hand over the gun to this gentleman for safekeeping before you injure yourself." Believe me, you won't be in danger of following us. ”

"But the situation is said to be chaotic on Andira's side. Louis hesitated.

"You act with us, and we will ensure your safety, which is included in our agreement. Lin Rui nodded, "Now let's talk about it, what did you bring us?"

"Oh, there's some up-to-date intelligence. Louis nodded, "This is the coordinate location of the crash of the prototype 0, and judging from the images sent back by the drone, it looks like a small base." But when our men arrived at the accident site, they found that there was nothing left there. There are no bases, no traces of human activity, just a desert. ”

"Then how can you be sure that this is the location of the incident?" Lin Rui frowned.

"Because we found some scattered fragments, which were all from the prototype. So we can be sure that nothing went wrong at the crash site. But the small base and the rest of the personnel had all retreated. Of course, they also took most of the wreckage of the drone, and the core components. Louis explained.

"How much time did it take from the time the drone crashed to the time your people arrived at the scene of the incident?" Lin Rui frowned.

"As soon as we found out that something had happened, our people rushed to the place of the accident. We had a rapid response team at the time of testing to respond to such incidents. They are all very experienced personnel and are equipped with helicopters. So it took them less than an hour to arrive. "Louis Road.

"In less than an hour? The image taken by this drone shows that there is a small base with complete facilities below. That is, after shooting down the drone, they disappeared without a trace in less than an hour. Lin Rui frowned.

"Yes. This area is located at the junction of Santuyak and Andira, and the terrain is complex. There are deserts and canyons, and if these people are evacuated immediately after the incident, it is possible to hide from us. Louis opened the map on his computer and said, "The accident happened here, two kilometers away there is a canyon, and some jungle enough to hide their tracks. ”

"In any case, it was definitely premeditated to be able to act so quickly. Only in advance preparations were made and the evacuation route was arranged. will evacuate so orderly and quietly. Shogishi nodded. "Judging from the footage, they have large vehicles and a lot of facilities, and it is not realistic to completely withdraw from this area. So there's a good chance they've entered the canyon to hide from your emergency response team.

"So where does this canyon lead?" Lin Rui frowned.

"It's a dry canyon that stretches into the border area of Andira. The region has a very chaotic history, with many factions of militants operating in the area. After the assassination of Andira's president, there was even more chaos there. A number of Al-Qaida members who have recently been dispersed in the Middle East have also been active in the region. We can't tell who hijacked the prototype. "Louis Road.

"Isn't there news that the wreckage and core parts of this plane will be auctioned?" Lin Rui frowned.

"Yes, the news came from the famous underground arms black market. Several international buyers are said to have expressed interest. Louis shook his head, "Once this prototype is auctioned, then a lot of information and technology about this prototype will leak out." This new generation of drones, which cost Raytheon a lot of money to build, will no longer be officially in service. Raytheon's various direct and indirect losses will be in the hundreds of millions. ”

"Within two weeks we had to recover the drone, and now we don't have enough information. I don't even know who did it. That's the biggest problem right now. Lin Rui frowned.

"That's why I'm here, gentlemen. I will be in direct contact with Raytheon, and Raytheon's resources will be prioritized for the duration of the operation. Satellites and other necessary technical means are included, as long as the prototype is recovered. We will provide the strongest backup. Louis looked at Lin Rui and said
