PRI Chapter 50: Black Technology Drones and the Inspector
🕑 Added 2025-08-20 08:03:47 +0000 UTCSystem notifications cascaded like a waterfall. Lind carefully examined them and found that among the 15 draws, 7 were weapons and ordinary items, including carbines and M67 hand grenades that had appeared before.
There were also 3 new guards, all D-level, not a single one C-level or above.
Since the prison didn't lack personnel at the moment, Lind chose not to hire them.
The remaining 5 more valuable items were:
Skill [Advanced Bajiquan]
Item [Sedative Spray Can x1]
Weapon [Black Hornet Nano Drone System x1]
Item [Basic Live Streaming Kit x1]
Item [Concealed Electronic Surveillance x2]
The sedative spray can needn't be mentioned. This thing had proven its value in various situations.
Human inhalation required only about 10 seconds to enter a comatose state ready for slaughter.
Whether used for attack or defense, it was a divine weapon.
The concealed electronic surveillance was the same. With it, guards could monitor prisoners' movements in the cell blocks 24 hours without blind spots.
As soon as the Advanced Bajiquan was drawn, Lind used it to replace Wing Chun and tried it outdoors.
Eight words summarized it: incredibly powerful, simple and practical.
Especially the Iron Mountain Lean. With one lean, the bark cracked and the entire tree shook.
If it hit a person, it could probably break several ribs.
Besides these, there were two items of even higher value.
First was the Basic Live Streaming Kit, which surprised Lind. This was actually a complete set of equipment for online streaming, including cameras, capture cards, microphones, and a computer.
Lind had researched the market during this period. Currently, America was still in the dial-up internet stage, and 56kbps couldn't meet the bandwidth needed for online streaming.
If one wanted to get involved, they would need commercial-grade ISDN or DSL connections.
And even if they set up a website and started streaming, the transmission bitrate would be very limited, and users' viewing experience would be intermittent with extremely high latency.
Just like the website Lind and Jimmy had logged into before, watching 30 seconds and waiting 2 minutes was common.
This was also why those online streams often disappeared after just a few months.
Everyone was just seeking novelty, and after being tortured by lag, they lost interest but after using the Basic Live Streaming Kit, Lind found that the problems were solved.
This equipment could greatly alleviate bitrate issues while maintaining viewers' picture quality at 480P.
No lag, no delay.
The viewing process was as smooth as Dove chocolate.
Although compared to later streaming websites there was a huge gap, in the current context, this was already black technology.
Even Mike Heywood, the little hacker who had previously built the streaming website for Lind, was amazed when he saw this streaming kit and was willing to help Lind set up the streaming process for free.
Just to crack the secrets within.
Lind had no objections. If little Mike could crack the computer, maybe they could register a tech company, get a patent, and make another beautiful profit.
As for the remaining Black Hornet nano drone system, it consisted of a base station and two Black Hornet drones.
To be honest, Lind was shocked the first time he saw the Black Hornet drones.
Because this thing was only the length of a palm!
16 centimeters long, 2.5 centimeters wide, weighing 18 grams.
It wasn't even as big as a shoe!
The drone's overall shape resembled a helicopter, except it was entirely black with a small propeller on the top and tail.
This drone was produced by Norwegian company PD and appeared on the Russia-Ukraine battlefield after being acquired by American company Flir.
After Lind secretly test-flew it, he found this little thing was indeed amazing enough.
Because its head was equipped with 3 cameras, plus an infrared camera specifically for thermal imaging, so even at night it could conduct surveillance.
Additionally, this drone had GPS reconnaissance routes and automatic cruise functions, and was equipped with a silent motor.
It could be said that for spying, it was invincible.
However, after using this thing, Lind decided not to hand it over to James and the others for now.
It wasn't that he didn't trust James, but he was worried that other members of the tactical squad might accidentally leak this thing.
After all, as special forces veterans, this group definitely knew the value of Black Hornet drones very well.
So while their loyalty hadn't reached maximum, Lind didn't want to take any risks.
But just leaving it unused would be such a waste. He thought about it and decided to find someone with maximum loyalty to train in drone flying skills.
Later he could buy a disguised vehicle, and before executing missions, first use the Black Hornet drone for reconnaissance, then draw the routes and personnel positions on a tactical board to hand over to the tactical squad.
This would naturally avoid the risk of drone leakage.
The plan was well-designed, but currently there was absolutely no one suitable to execute it.
He still needed to quickly cultivate the guards' loyalty.
Lind sighed and locked the Black Hornet nano drone in a cabinet.
Then he came to the electric shock interrogation room.
At this moment, sitting on the electric chair in the center of the interrogation room was a "lucky audience member."
This was a Grande Gang lackey named Cruz that James and the others had brought back from the Violet Club.
He was specifically responsible for drug transportation routes and was one of Gian's right-hand men.
The reason for bringing him back was naturally to conduct detailed interrogation on him, to figure out everything about Gian and the Grande Gang.
Additionally, they could test the electric shock live streaming effects and run through the process to optimize the workflow.
For this, Lind specifically found Jimmy and had him help send invitation letters to those bored rich second-generation kids, asking them to enter the website at exactly 10 PM tonight to watch.
Jimmy readily agreed and immediately sent text messages to his fair-weather friends but how many would come was unclear.
While waiting, Lind also checked Andy and Carter's wish missions.
[Andy's Wish: As a member of the prison, Andy has always been obsessed with observing prisoners, trying to obtain enough insider information from them to please the warden.]
[Mission: Help Andy fulfill his wish, let him get promoted with a raise and gain the warden's favor.]
[Reward: 1. Andy's loyalty increases to maximum, 2. Random skill upgrade]
[Carter's Wish: As a member of the prison, Carter very much admires becoming a tough guy like Director James. For this, he has been diligently practicing marksmanship, wanting to gain James's recognition.]
[Mission: Help Carter fulfill his wish, let him pass James's challenge and receive his personal praise.]
[Reward: 1. Carter's loyalty increases to maximum, 2. Random skill upgrade]
Andy's loyalty had always been quite high, but perhaps because Lind hadn't paid much attention to him during this period, his loyalty improvement speed had slowed considerably.
While Carter's loyalty progress wasn't as fast as Cohen's, compared to other guards it wasn't slow either.
However, both of their wish missions weren't difficult.
Especially Andy. This guy's goal was very simple: promotion and raise.
So when Lind called him to the office and informed him that starting today he would be independent, establishing a prison inspection team, his wish mission was immediately completed.
The panel was also updated.
[Andy Cock]
[Identity: Guard/Inspector]
[Rating: 32 (Level C)]
[Loyalty: 100]
[Skills: Intermediate Driving, Advanced Investigation, Basic Combat, Basic Marksmanship]
Intermediate Investigation had upgraded to Advanced Investigation.
His profession also gained an additional one: Inspector.
[Inspector: When conducting surveillance and monitoring work, concealment increases by 30%, with a small probability of discovering clues from criminals' behavior and speech]
Lind twitched his mouth, feeling this guy was hopelessly specialized.
But this was also good. As the prison developed and expanded with increasing prisoners, Lind would sooner or later lose detailed control over the cell block prisoners.
At this time, Andy, this inspection captain's role would become prominent.
Just like the ancient secret service organization Dongchang.
And his skills were also very suitable for using drones.
Perhaps he could let him be responsible for drone control first, adding bricks and mortar to Lind's house-raiding plans.
