Dragons : The Dragon Hunt

24. The Drone Exploration

-45 minutes later-

We had all woke up to start the Drone exploration. I saw Nafie was still surveying the mechanisms of the drones, I went to Nafie to ask for the condition of the Drones will be used for exploration. 

"Well Nafie, how is our drones? Is it good?", I asked

"Yeah still working, I upgraded the system, the regular coverage of this drone is about 15 000 square kilometers, but I upgraded the system and its camera coverage up to 40 000 square kilometers, 55 000 tops. So if I estimate I could run the drones to its whole coverage by 2 and a half hours", Nafie explained

"Well, that's nice ", I said

"So, do we start the Drone Exploration? ",
Christopher asked Nafie

"Well, for the Drones, like I said, I upgraded the drones in more widened coverage, I---", Nafie stammered

"Long story short, Nafie! ", I exclaimed

"Yeah, we could start now", Nafie responded

"That's more like it,what are we waiting for, lets go! ", Kent replied

Nafie had 4 drones in total, but we could use one first, we need to try the flight of the drones to make sure that the drones would be steady while we get a live footage at the camp. We all went oit for the testing. Nafie had placed the drone outside for testing, it was windy. The strong currents of winds blew in our faces, I estimate that the wind speed is almost 17 miles per hour, enough to ruin a flight of a drone, and could completely ruin a bullet's flight. The temperature outside is -10 degrees, but it stayed constant for almost half a day already.

"Nafie, are you sure that this drone, would never affected by the extreme windage? ", I shouted, we could barely hear each other because of the fast winds whistling to us loudly

"Yeah, The metal composition of the drone is partly alloy and Titanium, I added an extra weight on the drone for the wind's current will not ruin the drone's flight! ", Nafie shouted too, He hope that this would work, He placed the drone in front of him and started to operate the drone

"Well, there is one way to find out!", Kent exclaimed, looking determined

"Yeah, Nafie, let the drone fly now", I ordered Nafie to fly the drone. As the drone floated, it was being shaken moderately by the wind, but other than that, there are no reported problems about the drone.

I went to Nafie to check the status of the drone.

"Drone status? ", I asked

"Good, still in good condition ", He replied

"The winds are strong! The drone would not handle it! ", Sairo exclaimed

"The drone is steady now, don't be pessimist", Kent replied to Sairo

"Oh shut it, Sairo", snarled Christopher

"Okay, the drone is steady, I could handle it, go inside", commanded Nafie

"Yeah, right, I'm freezing here", Sairo scoffed. As we finally went inside the camp's tent to warm ourselves, we checked the footage that was on Nafie's desktop to see the view of the mountain
