Village chief, your township enterprise sells laser cannons?

Upon hearing this question, Rajad immediately turned to look at Amar and said a few words in an unknown language. Amar frowned, and a few seconds later, he nodded reluctantly.

After he nodded, Rajad immediately turned around, first nodding to Lin Man, then placing his right hand on his chest: "Rajad Kiat, member of the Revolutionary Guard of Holmzgan Province."

"The man next to me is Abar Sani, the head of the logistics department of the Revolutionary Guard of Holmzgan Province."

Revolutionary Guard...

Holmes...

Lin Man was bewildered when he suddenly heard these two names that he often heard in the news. Why didn't you block the Strait of Hormuz and ask passing European ships for money? What are you doing here?

Unable to figure it out, Lin Man decided to stop thinking about it. He turned to look at Wang Ju, as this was his first time dealing with this type of person, while Wang Ju was not. He wanted to ask for his opinion.

Wang Ju received Lin Man's signal, paused for a moment, then placed both hands on the chair, pulled it forward slightly, and sat down at the same level as Lin Man. She then spoke to the two people opposite her:

"Gentlemen, what I'm about to say might be harsh, but I have to ask."

"If you want to learn about our laser defense system, we can provide relevant information; if you want to buy, we can also sell it."

"But I'd like to know, do you have money?"

"Or rather, what method do you plan to use to pay this amount?"

"Is it oil, or minerals, or US dollars, or RMB?"

After a series of questions, the atmosphere in the room became somewhat oppressive. Lin Man's gaze lingered on Wang Ju for a moment before quickly turning to the opposite side.

He was just a small village party secretary. If the other party paid money directly, he could handle it. But if the other party chose to barter and settle the payment with oil, he would be fine.

He would then need to find connections to convert the oil into money. Although finding the right people was easy, it was still a long and roundabout process and a waste of time.

Besides, he doesn't have much time to waste.

The village party secretary encounters far too many troublesome things every day!

As for the people on the other side, they also fell silent after Rajad translated for them.

The air felt heavy at that moment.

A few minutes later, Amar turned to Rajad and began to speak rapidly. After he finished, Rajad gave Lin Man and the other man an apologetic smile, leaned forward, lowered his head slightly, and said cautiously:

"Mr. Amar said we can offer two settlement methods: the first is in US dollars, and the second is in oil."

"As for which one to use, it depends on your choice and, more importantly, on your product quote."

The conversation suddenly shifted from payment methods to product pricing. Wang Ju knew that Lin Man was in charge now. He pressed his hands on the chair, moved it back a little, and exposed Lin Man again.

Lin Man took out a pen and a small notebook from his pocket, wrote the number 500 million in the notebook, pressed two fingers on the notebook, and pushed it in front of Rajad and the others:

"This is my offer."

The moment he pushed the number over, the four people opposite him widened their eyes in unison, as if they had seen some outrageous number.

Immediately afterwards, Amar pressed his right index finger on the numbers in the notebook and counted the zeros from beginning to end.

After counting, he hurriedly and dramatically launched into a tirade against Rajad.

After he finished speaking, Rajad shook his head at Lin Man: "Too expensive!"

"Mr. Amar said that, in his opinion, yours is worth at most this much."

"100 million?"

"10!" Rajad shook his head, then turned back and said a few words to Amar, who replied to him.

After Amar finished speaking, he turned back to Lin Man and said:

"We purchased this equipment primarily to defend against missiles and bombers from Israel."

"Judging from your demonstration video, your equipment requires human operation and assistance to lock onto the target. In addition, the laser weapon has too low power and cannot directly destroy the target while locking onto it."

"At the typical attack speed of missiles and fighter jets, 5 kilometers... that's really close."

"500 million is too risky for us."

"The firepower is too weak, isn't it?" Lin Man asked Rajad with a smile, but his gaze was fixed on Wang Ju.

Rajad also keenly noticed this. His brow furrowed, and without asking Amar, he abruptly stood up and asked Lin Man:

"Do you have an even more powerful version?"

"Yes!" Lin Man replied calmly, snapping his fingers at Wang Ju with his left hand, then opening his hand as if asking for something.

Wang Ju turned around, took Lin Man's laptop from the cabinet next to her, and placed it in Lin Man's hands.

After searching through his laptop for a while, Lin Man found the test video of the prototype at sea. He rotated the computer screen so that it faced the people opposite him.

As the video began playing, Rajad and the others were all drawn to the images on the computer screen.

It's still the sea, and the camera is still pointed at the steel plate.

Just a few seconds later, a red laser shot from a distance, instantly striking the steel plate. In the blink of an eye, the laser pierced through the steel plate and shot even further away.

As the laser beam dissipated, the ship filming the scene quickly moved towards the ship carrying the steel plates.

When the camera zoomed in on the steel plate, Rajad and his men noticed that it was thicker than they had seen during the day.

Noticing this, Amar quickly dragged the mouse to bring the screen back to before the laser was fired.

Upon seeing the laser again, Amar immediately started counting.

Just as the count reached two, the laser pierced through the steel plate.

Upon seeing this, Amar, without waiting for Rajad to speak, pressed his hands on the sides of the laptop, turned the screen towards Lin Man, raised his right hand, pointed at the laptop, and made a gesture of invitation.

Understanding his actions, Lin Man looked at Rajad and spoke softly:

"The more advanced version can melt a 10-millimeter-thick steel plate within 3 seconds at a distance of 5 kilometers. Israel does not have hypersonic missiles, and their conventional missile warheads do not have such high temperature resistance requirements. At this high temperature, the warhead's defense is almost zero."

"As for the aircraft... it's even less likely that 10-millimeter-thick steel plates will be used."

"The radar system has an external interface that can be connected to IFF (Identification Friend or Foe)."

"It can also be connected to additional air defense search radars to predict targets in advance and shoot them down directly when they appear."

"In addition, the high-performance version of the portable air defense system has a battery capacity of 500 kWh and an overall weight of about 400 kilograms."

"A pickup truck can carry it around, and seven or eight people can carry it."

"Now, do you think this equipment is worth $500 million?"

After hearing the explanation, Rajad immediately turned to look at Amar and translated Lin Man's explanation to him.

Lin Man couldn't understand what Amar was saying, but he could understand his expression.

As Rajad explained, Amal's expression grew happier and happier. Finally, he turned around decisively, gave Lin Man a thumbs up, and chattered on and on.
