Chapter 341 Absolutely Safe Beyond-Visual-Range Firefighting Tools!

It seemed that this time, he had truly found the right path.

This thought surfaced in his mind.

After solving the physical stamina issue with the Firefighting Exoskeleton,

Li Jiajun sat in his spacious executive chair, facing the livestream camera, and decided to strike while the iron was hot to continue his next epiphany.

He reached out and pulled the notebook sitting on the edge of the desk toward him.

Looking down, his gaze fell upon the notebook, where Liu Jianguo had previously noted the next pain point requirement.

[High-Rise Building Rescue]

Looking at those words, the expression on Li Jiajun's face gradually became serious.

Following the train of thought regarding "long distance,"

Li Jiajun sat in his chair, sinking into deep contemplation.

'How on earth can I throw fire extinguishing agents from a long distance?'

He quickly deduced various possible solutions in his mind.

'Rely on water pump pressurization?'

That seemed to be the most common method in the current firefighting field.

However, no matter how high the pump pressure was, the range was ultimately limited.

That path didn't seem viable.

Just as he was feeling at a loss,

he inadvertently turned his head toward the half-open window of the office.

In the open space outside the factory,

he happened to see the young grandson of Old Zhang from the factory's security department playing there.

The little guy was holding a shoulder-mounted large cannon tube that resembled a rocket launcher.

It was a firecracker played with during the New Year, but its design mimicked an RPG rocket launcher, looking very imposing.

The little boy skillfully hoisted the cannon tube onto his thin shoulders and lit the fuse.

Only a piercing "swish" was heard.

The finned cylinder trailed a long plume of smoke, instantly darting out of the tube and soaring into the sky.

The firecracker traced a parabola in the air.

Finally, at an extremely high and distant point, it exploded with a "bang" into a cloud of white smoke.

Blown by the light breeze, the cloud of white smoke quickly dispersed, covering a small patch of the sky.

Seeing this scene,

Li Jiajun's eyes instantly lit up.

His gaze instantly became vacant, his pupils losing focus.

His entire being once again entered that exclusive state of epiphany where one forgets both self and surroundings.

"That's it!"

He slapped his thigh hard and began to mutter his analysis to himself.

That rapid-fire voice traveled through the microphone and clearly reached the ears of the thousands of die-hard fans in the livestream room.

"Why rely on external force to spray?"

"Why not just let the fire extinguisher fly there itself!"

His speaking speed grew faster and faster, the sparks of thought in his brain colliding frantically.

"If the dry powder extinguishing agent is compressed into the head, and a solid fuel propellant is added to the tail..."

"Using a hollow metal tube for directional launching..."

"Utilizing the tail flame jet to offset the recoil..."

"This way, no matter how far the fire is, firefighters won't need to risk themselves personally; they only need to stand in a safe place, aim at the fire source, and launch!"

As his deduction went deeper,

accompanied by the crisp "ding" notification sound in his mind,

[By observing the principles of holiday firework launching and combining fluid mechanics with solid propulsion theory, you have instantly grasped the mysteries of long-distance pinpoint projectile technology! You have gained an epiphany: the Individual Shoulder-Mounted Rocket Fire Extinguisher!]

A wave of enlightenment flooded his heart.

Li Jiajun once again sprang up from his seat.

He rushed to the whiteboard already covered with exoskeleton part drawings and found a blank space.

The black marker in his hand rubbed against the whiteboard at high speed.

With a smooth, flowing motion, he drew the epiphany of the Individual Shoulder-Mounted Rocket Fire Extinguisher on the blueprints.

A cylindrical launch tube.

A thick tail nozzle.

A conical warhead with stabilizing fins.

He even thoughtfully drew an optical sight for easy aiming.

In reality, from its fluid-dynamic shape to its firing structure, this thing was the most classic shoulder-mounted rocket launcher, the RPG.

This was definitely one of the most notorious individual anti-tank weapons in the world.

But Li Jiajun didn't recognize what it was.

So,

next to the blueprint, he specifically labeled the warhead section with the words "Compressed Dry Powder/Flame Retardant Aerosol."

...

After finishing the main structure,

Li Jiajun stopped his pen and looked at the blank parameter column next to it.

He prepared to set the specific performance indicators for this "fire extinguisher."

High-rise firefighting = distance.

He thought about this requirement.

Then, pinching his chin, he fell into thought.

'What would be an appropriate range?'

'Ordinary fire hoses can reach forty or fifty meters; this kind of flying fire extinguishing shell should at least reach several hundred meters, right?'

But then he had a second thought.

If the fire truck arrives a bit slowly and can't make it before the optimal time to extinguish the fire, he definitely had to consider the factor of launching this fire extinguishing shell midway.

To satisfy the requirements,

he had another brief epiphany.

Without hesitation, he swung the marker and forcefully labeled the range of this thing as ten kilometers.

Ten kilometers!

The moment that number was written,

Li Jiajun looked at the blueprint and smiled with satisfaction.

Now it was finally safe.

With a distance of ten kilometers, firefighters could completely sit in the command vehicle drinking tea, watching the images sent back by drones, and comfortably fire the fire extinguishing shells into the fire scene.

This was true, all-around, no-blind-spot protection!

He turned around to face the livestream camera.

In the livestream room, he showed the contents of the blueprint to the die-hard fans.

He pointed to the ten-kilometer parameter and very proudly stated that this was the safest "Beyond-Visual-Range Firefighting Tool."

The die-hard fans in the livestream room were also dazed as they looked at the blueprint of the thick metal tube with a scope.

This design.

These parameters.

However, considering that the Factory Manager was making legitimate firefighting equipment, everyone didn't think too much of it.

A wave of praise immediately floated across the bullet screen.

"The Main Streamer is awesome! Firefighting from ten kilometers away, this idea is brilliant!"

"This way, the firefighting brothers will never have to worry about being burned again. I support the Factory Manager's conscientious invention!"

"Beyond-visual-range firefighting! It sounds like it has a high-tech aesthetic. Although it looks a bit like that thing, if it can put out fires, it's a good thing!"

...

Seeing the harmony on the bullet screen,

the stone in Li Jiajun's heart finally fell to the ground.

He glanced at the toy that Old Zhang's grandson from the security department was playing with.

The little guy, having finished setting off the firecracker, was happily jumping and skipping in the open space.

Li Jiajun felt that since he had gained an epiphany from a toy to create a toy, it should be very safe.

A firefighting tool derived from New Year's fireworks and crackers, even if its power was slightly greater and its range slightly further,

it was still just a tool for putting out fires.

It couldn't possibly be taken away by others as some kind of weapon of mass destruction, right?

However,

he turned his head again to look at the large firecracker in Old Zhang's grandson's hand.

He took a few more looks at the other's large firecracker, always feeling it looked very familiar.

That cylindrical shape, thick in the front and thin in the back, always felt like he had seen a similar silhouette on some news channel.

But as a military novice—and the most clueless kind at that—

he rubbed the back of his head and still couldn't make anything of it.

Since he couldn't figure it out, he stopped dwelling on the issue.

Anyway, the path was right, and the equipment was safe.

Next,

it was time to turn the blueprint into reality.

Li Jiajun casually turned off the livestream microphone and shouted toward the door.

Wang Dachui immediately appeared at the office door.
