It was a battle without suspense .

Ten drones followed the central air-conditioning duct and quickly arrived at the fourth, fifth, and sixth floors controlled by the terrorists . They identified the location of the hostages through the camera and ambushed above the head of the terrorists .
The Malaysia counter-terrorism forces immediately formulated an execution plan based on the intelligence detected by the drone . They divided into five teams and attacked the weak parts of the building, and began their operations simultaneously .
With the cooperation of the sudden attack by drones, more than 30 special forces rushed into the building with lightning speed, killing several terrorists and ended the battle in just eighty seconds .
All 79 hostages were rescued, eight of the terrorists were killed on the spot and the remaining two were captured .
Yes, there were a total of ten terrorists .
The Malaysia police’s information was incorrect . There were more than nine terrorists, one of the terrorist disguised themselves as a tourist and stayed together with the other hostages with explosives in his jacket .
If it was not for bet2 police drone’s quick reaction in executing the terrorist attempting to detonate the explosives, this hostage rescue operation may have ended in failure .
Thanks to the help of the bet2 drone, the hostage crisis was solved .
Afterwards, the prime minister and King of Malaysia expressed their gratitude to Jiang Chen and Celestial Trade for their help . All the media that arrived at the scene also expressed their amazement at the police drones that contributed greatly in the hostages rescue!
The Nouveau York Times on the other side of the ocean even gave the drone a name of “anti-terrorism holy grail” .
Gratitude was just gratitude after, if it were not for the benefits after, Jiang Chen was not be that bored to give out a helping hand .
Sure enough, just after he and TNB negotiated the power export agreement and the construction of the submarine transmission cable, the Malaysian police chief came to see him, hoping to order a batch of bet2 drones .

The total value of the order was over 20 million XND .
The 20 million XND order was not a big order to Future Heavy Industries, but it was definitely a good start . For a long time, this kind of police drone with the capability to carry light weapons was unable to penetrate into the foreign market . Compared to working with foreign companies, the police departments were more inclined to work with domestic equipment suppliers .
This hostage incident undoubtedly brought good publicity for the bet2 drone .
With the cooperation of bet2, the Malaysia Special Forces suffered no casualties and rescued all 79 hostages from terrorists equipped with sophisticated gears . Even among the cases of success story in counter-terrorism operations around the world, this would be considered an impressive achievement .
The countries plagued by terrorism would certainly be interested in the bet2 drones .
Hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, on the Lunar Colony, more than a dozen vehicles were working around a football-field-sized open space . The steel frame was being built, and the workers in spacesuits moved around the construction materials like kangaroos . They attached the frame together with a low-power metal jet welding torches .
At the center of the site was a hexagonal platform .
On a dark and sturdy outer shell were scaly drums . Each of the protrusions was about the size of a thumb and they were neatly arranged into a net that covered the entire hexagonal outer casing .
“…the connection is normal . ”
With a sigh of relief, Lu Fan raised his hand and rubbed his forehead .
He was not really sweating . It was just a habit he has whenever he solved a big problem . But this time, he touched a heavy helmet .

Still processing his action, Lu Fan immediately smiled awkwardly and tossed the device into the toolbox, ready to return to the colony .
It had been more than a week since he came here .
The closer you are to the universe, the more miniscule you feel .
After the initial craze, Lu Fan began to remember his life on Earth just as the director had said . The feeling of legs bound to the ground by gravity could only be felt in the gravity chamber .
Passing through the buffer chamber, he hung his space suit at the door, pulled out his ID card and swept it on the scanner . Then, he took a can of coffee from the vending machine . In space, he still had to pay, but his salary was several times higher than on Earth, so there was no need to carefully budget .
At the same time, a middle-aged man also passed through the buffer chamber and entered into the colony . After seeing Lu Fan, he said hello .
“How does it feel?”
“It was okay,” Lu Fan said casually . “I felt like I went to Australia and became a kangaroo . ”
The middle-aged man laughed and put the toolbox aside .
“Yes, we are all kangaroos . Speaking of which, have you been to Australia? The kangaroos there are really fun, I mean the ones in the zoo, the wild ones are not friendly at all . ”
“I haven’t been there . Maybe I will go after my three month shift,” Lu Fan squeezed his eyebrows, “and learn from them about how to jump like kangaroos . ”
“Hahaha…!”

The middle-aged man was his boss, He Biao, the head of the power department in the colony . Although he was the boss, there was no concept of beauracracy here . The size of the colony now was around 500 people . Although new people joined in every once in a while, it was still a small place .
The entire power department only had twenty people .
These twenty electric engineers supported the entire colony’s grid from the living quarter to the soilless room .
The two packed up their things and prepared to go to the cafeteria for lunch . To keep a good schedule on the Moon, it was important to keep track of time, so the sleeping and eating schedule could be maintained .
In the cafeteria, Lu Fan ordered a plate of curry beef, and sat across from He Biao . He could just see the work site from the window from where he sat .
Lu Fan frowned slightly and asked about something that bothered him . “You said… what exactly is that thing?”
He Biao thought for a second and looked at him strangely .
“The thing outside? You don’t know?”
Lu Fan shook his head .
“No one told me, is this confidential in the company?”
He Biao smiled and shook his head .
“It’s not confidential, because it will be put into use soon . But some time ago, the relevant information about that was indeed classifed as highly confidential . ”
Lu Fan was even more curious .
“What exactly is it?”
“A device that converts electrical energy into light energy, and then transports it hundreds of thousands of kilometers away . ”
“How is this possible!” Lu Fan couldn’t control his voice .
Seeing other people in the cafeteria look in his direction, he quickly lowered his head and lowered his voice .
He Biao looked at the astounded subordinate and grinned . “Nothing is impossible . Although when I heard this for the first time, I was even more surprised than you . But after studying the entire drawings, you will not think that way . ”
He turned his eyes to the window and said longingly .
“If the test runs smoothly, this will become the first gift from the Moon to the Earth . And our colony will no longer be burning through cash!”
