Chapter 30 Unmanned Air Force?

"Go! Lin Dong, go now! They're low on health! The entire enemy team is low on health!"

"Caught him! Attack him, Master Yi, attack him... Dead! Second one, Q in, use Q to stick to him... Wave after wave!"

Xu Qingling's home.

A corner of the living room has been specially converted into a gaming area.

Zhang Zihua, Li Tao, Zhang Yihao, Xu Qingling, and Lin Dong, each holding a notebook, sat around a table and were shouting loudly.

Amidst the shouts of his teammates, Lin Dong, controlling the Wuji Sword Saint Yi, activated his ultimate skill and charged forward like a mad dog. He then unleashed a flurry of attacks, and the five remaining enemies with low health fell to the ground. Lin Dong also used this opportunity to stack the Killing Blade to the maximum of twenty layers.

"Awesome!"

"This Sword Saint with the Killing Blade is something else!" Lin Dong exclaimed happily as he looked at the pentakill screen.

In his previous life, he had been playing League of Legends for 16 years.

At that time, the Mysterious Sword Killer Blade had been removed from the game, leaving only a mysterious legend in the martial arts world.

Now, experiencing the Juggernaut + Bloodthirster version, it's just as legendary as they say—the more you hack, the crazier you get, the more ferocious you become.

"The egg yolk pie is ready!"

"After you finish playing the game, you can rest for a while, come over and eat, then play again."

At this moment, Zhou Xiaoyan brought out freshly baked, fragrant handmade egg yolk pie cakes and invited Lin Dong and the other four to come and eat.

"Yay, we can eat cake now! Thank you, Mom!"

Xu Qingling dropped the mouse, stood up, and was the first to call out and run over. The hero hadn't respawned yet, and Li Tao and Zhang Yihao, whose screens were black and white, followed suit.

Lin Dong finished off the last drop of blood from the enemy base and leisurely beckoned Zhang Zihua over.

Pick up a still-warm cake, tear it open, and pop it into your mouth. The soft texture and rich aroma instantly fill your entire mouth.

"And yogurt, eating them together has a unique flavor."

After finishing a small cake, Xu Qingling grabbed a few rows of AD calcium milk from the side and threw one row at each of them.

As he spoke, he tore open a straw, without even opening it, inserted a bottle, and then showed off the whole row of straws.

"Xu Qingling!"

Li Tao took a sip of his AD calcium milk, then suddenly remembered something and looked at Xu Qingling with some curiosity, asking, "I heard that League of Legends is planning to form a professional league. Are you planning to go pro when you grow up?"

"I have that plan."

Xu Qingling nodded and then shook her head, glancing at Lin Dong: "But it's still uncertain now. We'll consider making arrangements when we're older in a few years."

"What do you plan to do when you grow up?" Xu Qingling asked, looking curiously at Li Tao, Zhang Zihua, and Zhang Yihao.

"I'm going to study computer science," Li Tao said simply, without hiding anything.

"Me?"

Zhang Yihao had already stuffed the fourth small cake into his mouth and swallowed it forcefully, saying, "I might study business management and start a business with my uncle after graduation. He has several companies in Zhejiang with a market value of tens of billions."

"I plan to skip a grade next year and take the college entrance exam earlier to get into Northwestern Polytechnical University." Zhang Zihua briefly stated his plan, his tone calm and without much hesitation.

"Lin Dong, what about you?" At this moment, Li Tao noticed that Lin Dong hadn't spoken yet, so he turned around curiously.

"His grades are only good enough for a junior college, and he said he'd be living off his parents." Xu Qingling finished the answer for Lin Dong.

Xu Ziming and Zhou Xiaoyan had given her many instructions regarding Lin Dong's matter, and she had learned how to keep it a secret and cover it up very early on.

Li Tao was stunned for a moment, and asked incredulously, "Really?"

"More or less."

Lin Dong smiled and said, "I will do some things that I like and that are meaningful to the country and the nation."

"...Is it meaningful for the country to rely on one's parents?" Li Tao was even more stunned.

Lin Dong smiled and said, "Giving my dad more responsibilities and making him work overtime and shoulder more burdens is meaningful to the country."

"Impressive, you actually managed to say it smoothly."

Li Tao gave a thumbs up.

As a family member of Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group, he naturally knew what kind of work Lin Dong's father did.

In a sense, Lin Dong's freeloading off his parents was actually beneficial to the country, though it was a bit tough on Lin Weiliang.

"Xiao Dong, come here for a second."

At this moment, Zhou Xiaoyan, who was listening to the children's conversation, seemed to suddenly think of something and waved to Lin Dong, signaling him to come over and chat.

"Aunt Zhou, is there anything I can help you with?" Lin Dong asked curiously as he walked over.

Zhou Xiaoyan led Lin Dong to the study, her expression somewhat serious, and asked, "What do you think about Qingling pursuing a career in e-sports when she grows up?"

"It's alright. Qingling has a talent for this. She likes playing games, so she can choose a profession she likes."

Lin Dong didn't say that esports is a young person's game or that the esports industry is chaotic; he just spoke from a very simple perspective, based on personal interest.

Having lived two lives, he has seen too many people lose their hobbies for money, ultimately becoming numb without earning much. They lose their interests for career prospects, but as industries change and times shift, seemingly promising careers suddenly die out after only a few years.

Therefore, when it comes to career choices, unless you choose a government-affiliated or research-oriented job that you can live off for a lifetime, you can't go wrong by choosing what you like.

Anyway, in this day and age, no one will starve to death even if they are poor. Choosing what you like will at least make you happy when you are poor, instead of feeling only resentful when you are poor.

Zhou Xiaoyan nodded thoughtfully, then asked, "So what do you think she should major in at university? She usually listens to you."

"college major?"

Lin Dong thought for a moment and gave two suggestions: "If you've decided to focus on esports, then learn a foreign language, and become a host after you've finished being a player."

"If you just treat esports as a hobby but want a long-term career, then go to a military academy and major in combat command."

"Combat command specialization?"

Zhou Xiaoyan was stunned, unable to understand how her daughter, a game enthusiast, could be related to combat command.

"Air Force drone command," Lin Dong said casually.

"Air Force drones...you mean?"

Zhou Xiaoyan suddenly understood, her eyes lighting up as she asked, "Your drone command system?"

As one of the people who knew about Lin Dong's situation, and also an employee of Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group's classified personnel.

She naturally knew the reason behind Lin Weiliang's sudden transformation from an expert in the field of aircraft to an expert in the field of communication and remote control.

But she never imagined that this drone remote control system could be combined with her daughter's talent and hobby.

They turned playing games into flying drones, and game battles into remote-controlled warfare.

"Will this really work?"

Zhou Xiaoyan thought for a moment and quickly realized the problem: "Wouldn't this system be severely hampered by communication and electronic interference? Besides, drones are still using swarm tactics and focusing on cost-effectiveness."

"Aunt Zhou, technology will evolve."

Lin Dong gently shook his head: "Being restrained now doesn't mean we'll be restrained in the future. The future is destined to be an era without people."

As for the drones themselves, they cannot remain swarms forever; they will inevitably evolve towards larger, more multifunctional, and more versatile designs.

Lin Dong was well aware that unmanned and intelligent systems were the inevitable trend for the future air force.

When aircraft technology develops to a certain level, pilots will become the biggest weakness of aircraft.

As long as it carries people, all high-mobility overload, high-speed overload, long-distance raid operations, etc., will be strictly limited.

At this point, pilots will retire from the historical stage, and they will be replaced by drone swarm operators who can use various tactics to command and control drones, and space swarm operators will begin to appear.
