Wasteland Border Inspector - Chapter 973

Chapter 973: Chapter 309: Raul’s Gift—Paving a New Path

“This is the original design’s ‘Falcon’ situational awareness radar!”

Raul’s tone was brimming with excitement. “When Inspector Cheng Long designed it back then, he wanted the armored vehicle to have all-weather battlefield reconnaissance capabilities, able to roughly detect moving ground and low-altitude targets within three kilometers and precisely lock in targets within one kilometer. Unfortunately, the signal processing chip technology was immature at the time, and they couldn’t create the corresponding terminal equipment, so this functionality was left unused.”

“But now our technology is advanced enough!”

Raul patted the notebook in his hand, dragging the heavy terminal to the car window with a tone full of pride. “My mother had someone reconstruct the control module. This terminal is the radar’s ‘brain,’ and now the Falcon radar can operate at full power!”

On the screen, three main functions were displayed: [Reconnaissance Perception], [Target Tracking], and [Signal Decoding].

“Reconnaissance perception and target tracking are the native functions of the Falcon radar. Once you try them, you’ll understand. Signal decoding is a new function I added to this device, embedded with a set of compatible radio signal reception and processing modules that can intercept and decode radio signals.”

Raul paused, then quickly added, “Of course, decoding the encrypted signals of Shelter City would be quite challenging, but decoding signals from those small, unencrpyted outposts is no problem at all.”

Holy crap.

Is this the power of family heritage?

Cheng Ye’s eyes lit up instantly, taking the terminal and tapping a few buttons, getting more delighted with each look.

Since acquiring the Fierce Dragon Armored Vehicle, he had never thought of modifying it.

First, due to a lack of funds, and second, in his view, the vehicle’s performance was already perfect. He hadn’t expected Davidson’s family to be so thoughtful, meeting a need he hadn’t even considered.

Just the functions of surrounding living creature feedback and radio decoding, when used in the right situation, could absolutely be unexpectedly powerful.

“Remember, do more of this ‘face-saving’ work in the future.”

Cheng Ye praised with a smile, his tone full of approval. “I just love the face-saving game!”

Sure enough, the gamble paid off!

Upon hearing this, Raul’s face immediately blossomed with barely concealed joy.

Davidson, being an elder and fellow inspector with Cheng Ye, could give money directly.

But as a junior, if Raul gave money, it would appear too formal, so after much thought, combining Cheng Ye’s fieldwork needs, he decided on upgrading the armored vehicle.

“Send the complete design of the armored vehicle to Dapo Town later.” Cheng Ye added.

“Yes! I’ll arrange it right away!” Raul responded promptly, standing even more upright.

“Alright, everyone’s dismissed. I appreciate the thought.”

Cheng Ye waved his hand. Even though this group of Westerners couldn’t say much, just being able to show their faces here and give the right gift had given them satisfaction.

The armored vehicle restarted and continued to drive forward.

Inside the car, the four companions of Yin Ruofeng marveled at the terminal placed on the passenger seat by Cheng Ye.

Compared to the information given by the checkpoint, Cheng Ye’s displayed capabilities and connections were far more impressive than the paper records.

The vehicle drove onto the highway, passing the checkpoint of the industrial zone.

The interior of the Fierce Dragon Armored Vehicle was far from comfortable, with a chassis as hard as an iron plate, but when it reached the dirt road leading to Dongping Town, its advantages immediately became evident. The wide tires rolled over the bumpy road without much shake, far more stable than an ordinary family car.

Upon reaching the Dongping Town checkpoint, Liu Bi and Niu Fu were indeed waiting at the gate, with Matthew Lee also standing nearby.

Their luggage was simple, each carrying a small backpack, traveling light.

Cheng Ye also carried the Thunder 1 and Dominator long guns, while Liu Bi and Niu Fu, seasoned fieldwork veterans, found long guns cumbersome, bringing only one Wild Bull Fighting Handgun each.

However, at the checkpoint entrance, two brand-new large tires were prominently placed, specifically prepared as spares for the armored vehicle.

“Brother B!”

Cheng Ye called out, stopping the armored vehicle steadily at the checkpoint entrance.

The four companions of Yin Ruofeng quickly got out of the car, going forward in turn to greet Liu Bi and Matthew Lee.

“Lend a hand and tie the tires to the car roof.”

As soon as Liu Bi finished speaking, Niu Fu had swiftly climbed onto the car roof, expertly securing the two new tires with ropes.

Ordinarily, the tires of a Fierce Dragon Armored Vehicle rarely burst in non-combat situations, but bringing spares was explicit in its purpose, eliminating any accidents, as fieldwork roads left no room for wishful thinking.

“Oh, by the way, yesterday I scouted a person in the Buffer Zone who knows farming, named Zhou Hai, and arranged for him to report to Dongping Town in a couple of days. He should be bringing his family.”

Cheng Ye briefly explained, and Matthew Lee nodded in agreement, “Alright, I’ll assign him a thirty-person team. If he’s capable, I’ll then promote him.”

“Handle it as you see fit. If he’s not up to it, just treat him as an ordinary resident without special privileges.” Cheng Ye didn’t mention the failed seed experiment over at Yue Ye, letting Matthew Lee remain in the dark for now.

Perhaps before next spring, Happiness City could develop suitable seeds, who knows.

The driver’s seat was swapped for the seasoned Niu Fu, and as Cheng Ye was about to sit in the second row, Liu Bi called him over to sit in the passenger seat. “You lack fieldwork experience, so sit up front and observe more. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to lead teams into the Wilderness in the future. You need to accumulate experience now.”

“Alright!” Cheng Ye, hearing this, opened the car door and got into the passenger seat.

The others got into the car one by one, and even with Liu Bi and Niu Fu joining them, the spacious interior of the armored vehicle didn’t feel cramped at all.

“We’re off.” Cheng Ye waved at Matthew Lee.

“Go on, geez, it’s just a trip to Guang Province, no need to act like it’s a life-and-death farewell.”

Matthew Lee, much like Luokuke, was pragmatic and joked with a smile, “When you reach Rainbow Light, if you see anything rare, bring me a piece. I’d love to check it out.”

“Hey, I’ll sell it to you at twice the price.” Cheng Ye responded with a grin.

“Don’t mention twice, anything you fancy, I’ll take even at five times the price!” Matthew Lee laughed heartily, his face full of cheerful mischief.

Listening to their verbal exchange from the second row, Liu Bi couldn’t help but shake his head with a look of resignation.

“Old Niu, let’s go.”

“Got it.” Compared to Cheng Ye’s laid-back demeanor, Niu Fu was much more aggressive.

With a step on the accelerator, the engine roared to life, and the armored vehicle shot forward.

It took not the established dirt path to Dongping Town but charged boldly into the vast Wilderness, like an untamed bull.

Since there was no matured path to Guang Province, they would… blaze a new trail themselves!
