With a "stop", all participating teams stopped.

The referee also jammed the stopwatch and stopped timing.

Everyone stood there, looking confused.

"Take five steps forward!"

Everyone subconsciously followed the order and took five steps forward.

"turn back!"

Following the command to turn back, all the team members followed the order and turned back, all with their backs to the drone.

At this point, all parts are already in place, and all that's left is quick assembly and inspection before launch.

When the call to stop was made, the soldiers were stunned.

I saw a technical noncommissioned officer from the support team walking toward the drone, but the team members couldn't see what he was doing.

Less than a minute later, the technical sergeant withdrew.

"Ready, start!"

The referee held up his watch expressionlessly.

Everyone finally understood this time.

This is about starting over.

After a short pause, and returning to their respective positions, every team member understood that the call to stop just now was not that simple.

"I think they've tampered with our drones."

Wang Maocai said to Xunuo through the drone: "Otherwise, we would definitely not stop calling for no reason. This would create problems for us."

"It's not surprising. The company commander has already said that something will happen today." Xu Nuo took a deep breath to keep himself awake.

He felt very bad at the moment.

My head is dizzy and my steps are a little weak.

But fortunately, no one would let them do the physical work that requires hoisting during erection.

Their responsibility is to carry out quick repairs when problems with the drone are discovered, cooperate with flight control and aircraft maintenance, find out the problem as soon as possible, and then eliminate it as soon as possible to ensure that it can take off on time to perform reconnaissance missions.

Looking at several large parts that had been assembled, Wang Maocai's mind started racing, thinking about what the noncommissioned officer who had come over to do the manipulation had done.

However, it seems that it cannot be seen.

Nothing is different.

"Who remembers that the placement is different from before?" Wang Maocai wanted to get a clue from the placement.

As long as you know which part he moved, you can save a lot of time by directly disassembling the part for inspection.

It's a pity that no one knows.

Everyone shook their heads and said they didn't see it.

"I don't know, it seems the same..."

"I can't tell either."

It seems that the noncommissioned officer is not stupid, he is a veteran in doing this.

"Assemble it first! Assemble it first and then talk about it." Xu Nuo gritted his teeth and gave the order.

"Assembly?" Wang Maocai said in surprise: "Assemble it and then test it. If you find problems, you have to disassemble it. Isn't this time-consuming and laborious?"

"Listen to me, assemble!" After Xu Nuo finished speaking, he bared his teeth and felt a dull pain in his temples.

Obviously, the low air pressure and oxygen content on the plateau caused him to have side effects.

I got medicine from the health team in the morning and took a few tablets. I guess I won't be able to do anything now.

Wang Maocai was stunned for a moment, and then said to the soldiers next to him: "Why are you still standing there? Execute the order!"

Every soldier in a company knows a principle: You can reserve your own opinions, but if the highest commander present gives an order, then you must execute it first.

Because there was no time to explain, the fighter plane was fleeting.

Everyone is busy again.

Xu Nuo glanced around.

The group closest to the first company could be vaguely seen squatting on the ground and seemed to be involved in a discussion.

He sighed secretly.

Discussion is pointless.

What needs to be done at this time is to advance the work.

"Assemble the fuselage and power system first. There is no need to install the wings and tail yet, and there is no need to install bombs. Also, the propulsion rockets will not be installed for the time being..."

Promise to continue issuing your own orders.

He made such a decision based on his own experience and careful consideration.

The biggest fatal problem if one component is inspected one by one before assembly is that the faults of some components cannot be found by testing with maintenance instruments.

Drones are delicate things.

From power system, reconnaissance system, communication system to control system.

Without assembling these together and testing them individually, it is difficult to ensure whether there are any problems after assembly, and we don’t know where the technical sergeant made any manipulations.

They are all old sergeants and foxes with thousands of years of experience.

It is unlikely that such a simple fault will occur in such a situation. For example, simple tricks such as unplugging a certain wire or prying a certain module to cause poor contact, people will definitely not bother to do it.

What can be found here must be highly secretive and difficult to troubleshoot.

"You said..." Wang Maocai couldn't help but start to worry as he watched his soldiers quickly assemble the main body of the drone.

"He couldn't have broken a chip or something, right?"

This kind of failure is very troublesome.

Because there is a circuit board on the module inside the drone, and there are densely packed various chips on the circuit board.

If a certain chip that controls the current is directly damaged, even if the troubleshooter knows that there is a problem with the circuit, he or she will have to use tools to test for a while before finding the faulty chip, and then have to replace it.

Moreover, the main body of the already assembled aircraft must be disassembled again, otherwise the fault cannot be eliminated.

Xu Nuo immediately shook his head and rejected Wang Maocai's judgment: "No, I guess what they did was to create faults without damaging the equipment. No one will damage the equipment, do you believe it or not?"

Wang Maocai thought for a moment and nodded: "What you said makes sense."

The judgment of promise is not unfounded.

The education that every PLA soldier receives after joining the army is to take good care of weapons and equipment as much as they take care of their eyes.

Therefore, even if it is a competition, even if it is deliberately setting up obstacles, generally we will not resort to destroying equipment to cause malfunctions.

Unless there are very special circumstances.

Promise to make a bet with yourself.

He couldn't guarantee whether the sergeant just now was so shady.

However, this kind of fault setting must have been approved by the organizing committee after study and discussion. Therefore, based on my understanding of the army, it is generally not possible to do this.

"Squad leader, it's assembled!"

A soldier loudly reported to Xu Nuo.

At this time, the main body of the drone has been assembled and is lying on the mounting bracket like a big fish without fins.

"Connect the line immediately, complete the link with the control room, and let them cooperate with us in pre-launch testing."

A soldier ran towards the control room, but saw the battlefield at the control station getting out of the car.

At this time, he had already planned the route and handed it to the flight controller, asking the other party to input it into the navigation.

After completing these tasks, he can now get out of the car and see what the "stop" was all about.

"Xu Nuo, what happened just now? Why did you say stop?"

Xu Nuo said: "Our plane is probably drugged. No, we have to find out where it has been tampered with. You ask them to start testing the flight control system and power system, and also try the reconnaissance system to see if there are any problems."

.”

Several major systems of the entire drone are the most critical.

The flight control controls how the aircraft flies, where it flies, whether it flies high or low.

As the name suggests, the power system determines whether the aircraft can fly, its flight quality, and how far it can fly.

The communication system is the link between the controller and the drone. There are two modes for controlling the drone. One is the wireless mode, which is relatively simple to operate, but has a small control range and is susceptible to interference.

Another type is satellite control. When conducting long-range reconnaissance, satellite signals will be activated and controlled by signal team drones launched by military satellites.

As for the reconnaissance system, it refers to the optoelectronic equipment on the aircraft, including cameras, reconnaissance data analyzers, cameras, infrared and night vision equipment, etc.
