Mingyu's voice carried a chill that made Wu Tianlong shiver.
"This will not only seriously endanger our peacekeeping forces that have been sent out."
"It will even threaten the safety of our own squad."
"The things we create with our own hands must never become weapons pointed at our comrades in the future."
After listening, a layer of cold sweat seeped from Wu Tianlong's forehead, and he finally understood the Commander's profound meaning.
He only saw technology and money.
What the Commander saw was the bloody storm that might be triggered behind it and his responsibility to his comrades.
Seeing that he had understood, Mingyu stopped talking and brought the topic back.
"Your current task is to find an opportunity to do the test well."
His tone softened a bit, and he patted Wu Tianlong's shoulder.
"If this test goes smoothly."
"I will personally report to the Commander and ask him to approve you to go with that expert for further study."
Wu Tianlong suddenly looked up, his eyes full of ecstasy.
He didn't expect that the Commander not only didn't criticize his childish idea just now but also kept his personal request in mind.
For him, this was an acknowledgment and opportunity more precious than any reward.
"Commander... I..."
Wu Tianlong was so excited that he was a bit incoherent, his gratitude overflowing.
"Thank you, Commander! I guarantee to complete the task!"
The morning sun had just filled the training base of the Megakaryocyte Special Operations Group.
Mingyu's figure appeared on the training ground on time, his steps steady, his eyes like torches.
As the Commander, he was accustomed to starting a new day earlier than everyone else.
However, a corner of the training ground was somewhat unusual today.
Usually, at this time, the team members were either doing physical warm-ups or organizing equipment.
At this moment, Li Xiaoniu, Zhou Chenguang, and Wang Yanbing were gathered together.
Their heads were almost squeezed into the screen of the same mobile phone.
Their faces were covered with focused yet somewhat strange smiles.
From time to time, they would also let out a giggle or two that they couldn't hold back.
Mingyu frowned slightly and walked over.
"What are you looking at?"
His low voice sounded behind the three of them.
The three of them straightened their backs instantly, like startled rabbits.
Li Xiaoniu immediately fumbled to turn off the phone screen.
"Reporting, Commander, we are... we are studying!"
Li Xiaoniu reacted the fastest, standing ramrod straight, and answered loudly.
"Studying?" Mingyu's gaze swept over their three slightly guilty faces.
"Yes, studying!" Zhou Chenguang quickly echoed, "Studying how to shoot and record variety shows."
Wang Yanbing also nodded along, adding:
"Aren't we going to participate in the recording of 'if i were a female special forces soldier'?"
"Understanding the process and filming techniques in advance, so we know what to expect."
Zhou Chenguang added again.
"Yeah! Anyway, resistance is useless, we can't afford the breach of contract fee."
"And a few days ago, when we filmed the pilot, we just filmed some daily training and stuff."
"Also, when we participate in the show, with so many cameras filming us, we're afraid of being nervous."
"We don't want to disgrace our Macrophages Special Operations Group, nor do we want to disgrace the army, and even less do we want to disgrace soldiers!"
They spoke solemnly, as if they were truly conducting an important pre-war study.
Mingyu's expression did not change; he simply extended his hand.
"Give me your phone."
Li Xiaoniu did not dare to hesitate and obediently handed over the phone.
Mingyu lit up the screen, and a lively variety show immediately appeared on the screen.
A group of celebrities were bustling behind several majestic police dogs, the scene both tense and comical.
The show's title was "Amazing Partners," and its content was to enter the Armed Police Dog Base.
Through the competition between celebrity dog training teams and expert dog training teams, it showcased the training and combat stories of police dogs.
On the screen, a female celebrity was being dragged by an excited German Shepherd, rolling on the grass, causing the people next to her to burst into laughter.
Mingyu watched expressionlessly for a while.
He looked up at the three team members in front of him, who were trying hard to hold back their laughter.
"Is this what you call studying?"
His tone was flat, but it made the three of them lower their heads even more.
"Commander, we think... this atmosphere can be used as a reference."
Li Xiaoniu tried to explain.
Mingyu directly returned the phone to him.
"'if i were a female special forces soldier' and this are completely different types of shows."
"One showcases the real training and life of special forces, and the other is an interactive competition between celebrities and animals."
"Watching this, besides learning how to be walked by a dog, is of no help whatsoever."
His words were as direct as ever, even with a hint of sarcasm.
The three of them were speechless, only able to stand awkwardly in place.
Mingyu did not continue to reprimand them.
He knew that excessive pressure would only be counterproductive.
"How are the Rookies doing?" he asked.
"Reporting, Commander, they are all undergoing normal routine training, everything is proceeding as planned."
Zhou Chenguang immediately replied.
Mingyu nodded, having a good idea.
"Alright, you guys know how to handle yourselves."
He glanced at the distant shooting range, where Wu Tianlong was preparing for the landmine test.
"I'm going to check on Tianlong's preparations over there."
With that, he turned and walked towards the test area.
After walking a few steps, he glanced back out of the corner of his eye.
The three heads were quietly huddled together again, apparently still savoring the show they had just watched.
Mingyu's heart softened a little, then quickly returned to his usual sternness.
He could understand their feelings.
After all, this was their first time participating in the recording of a variety show.
It was normal for them to be nervous and curious.
Appropriate relaxation, as long as it didn't affect training and missions, he could tacitly allow.
...
The landmine test area was located in a remote corner of the base, with high cordon pulled up all around.
The air was filled with a tense mixture of earth and metal.
When Mingyu arrived, Wu Tianlong and several technicians had already been busy here for several hours.
Six specially modified landmines had been carefully buried at the designated test sites.
The appearance of these landmines was no different from ordinary landmines.
However, their internal core components had been replaced with the remote intelligent control system designed by Wu Tianlong.
Wu Tianlong was sitting in front of a control console covered with wires and screens, his forehead covered with a fine layer of sweat.
His eyes were incredibly focused, and his fingers quickly tapped on the keyboard, performing the final system checks.
"Tianlong, how are things?" Mingyu walked up to him and asked.
Wu Tianlong looked up and saw that it was the Commander, his tense nerves relaxing slightly.
"Reporting, Commander, all equipment self-check completed."
"Six landmines have been buried at the designated locations, and data link communication is normal."
"Testing can begin at any time."
Mingyu nodded; he did not directly order to start, but instead personally walked to the control console.
His gaze swept over the complex data stream and status indicator lights on the screen.
"Confirm all landmines are in the off state." Mingyu's tone was unquestionable.
"Confirmed, Commander." Wu Tianlong pointed to an area on the screen.
"You see, all six signal sources here show 'safely off' mode."
"The sensing system is in sleep mode and will not react to any metal objects."
