Chapter 342 You want to put out the fire ten kilometers away?

Hearing the shout, Wang Dachui appeared at the office door immediately.

His massive, nearly two-hundred-pound frame almost completely blocked the door frame.

"Factory Director, what's up?" A simple, honest smile spread across Wang Dachui's face, which bore a striking resemblance to a bighead carp.

Li Jiajun did not answer immediately.

He picked up the drawing he had just finished—the ink still wet—and blew on it carefully.

Only then did he look up and, with a tone full of pride and satisfaction, say to Wang Dachui, who was walking over quickly:

"Big Hammer, come take a look."

"Take a look at our factory's next ace product that's about to set the market on fire."

When Wang Dachui heard this, his eyes instantly lit up.

He dashed over to the desk in a few strides, stretched out his fan-sized hands, and prepared to take the drawing with great joy.

Ever since the Fishing Rod incident, Li Family Toy Factory had gained great fame, but with its core production lines taken away, the factory had actually fallen into the awkward situation of having no goods to sell.

As the factory manager, Wang Dachui was also extremely anxious.

Now that he heard the Factory Director had a new product, his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled.

"Factory Director, what kind of good stuff is this?" he asked impatiently while reaching out to take it.

"Good stuff?"

Upon hearing this, a mysterious smile appeared on Li Jiajun's face.

He pulled the drawing back slightly, dodging Wang Dachui's hand.

Pointing at the drawing, he spoke to Wang Dachui—and to himself—in a tone bordering on showing off:

"This isn't just some simple 'good stuff'."

"This is another epoch-making, great invention launched by our Li Family Toy Factory that is enough to change the entire landscape of fire rescue!"

"I've given it a very domineering name."

Li Jiajun cleared his throat and said word by word: "Long-Range Fire Extinguisher!"

"Long-Range Fire Extinguisher?"

Wang Dachui recited the name to himself, feeling a sense of dominance wash over him.

Although he didn't quite understand what the words "Long-Range" meant when applied to a fire extinguisher, that didn't stop him from feeling that the name sounded incredibly badass.

"Factory Director, hurry and let me see, what does this thing look like?" Wang Dachui's face was filled with anticipation as he rubbed his hands and urged.

Watching Wang Dachui's unsophisticated look, Li Jiajun smiled with satisfaction.

Only then did he solemnly hand over the drawing in his hand.

"Take it."

Li Jiajun leaned back in his boss chair, crossed his arms, and said leisurely,

"First, take this drawing to the workshop downstairs, let the Master Craftsman study it, and do some preliminary material preparation work."

"Got it!"

Wang Dachui responded loudly.

He carefully received the drawing that carried the factory's future, as if holding some peerless treasure.

Filled with excitement and curiosity, he lowered his head and cast his gaze onto the paper.

Long-Range Fire Extinguisher...

This name sounded much more prestigious than that previous "jiajun brand Fishing Rod".

Wang Dachui thought happily to himself.

However.

The moment his gaze truly touched the object drawn on the paper.

The smile on his face froze abruptly, as if a pause button had been pressed.

...

Wang Dachui had indeed been a complete military novice before.

In his understanding, weapons were just those guns, cannons, and tanks seen on TV.

As for the specific models, parameters, and functions of these things, he knew nothing.

But times had changed.

After experiencing his factory's drone being taken to the Middle East battlefield, the elderly joy being modified by Sanbianpo warlords, and even a single Fishing Rod being able to alarm the Air Force and national treasure-level scientists like Old Qian—the grand spectacle of it all—

Wang Dachui's simple heart had been greatly shocked.

Consequently, during the past period, he had reflected deeply and used all his spare time to frantically cram relevant military industry knowledge.

From light weapons to heavy armor, from anti-aircraft missiles to aircraft carriers.

Although he couldn't count as an Expert, his vision and knowledge were no longer comparable to the ordinary worker who only knew how to work with his head down.

Now, even if he couldn't identify the model of every weapon at a glance, at least, for those classic weapons that appeared frequently in various news and conflicts, he was able to keep track of them.

And right now.

The thing drawn on the drawing in his hand belonged to the classic among classics.

Wang Dachui stood there blankly.

His gaze moved bit by bit from the far right of the drawing to the left.

The first thing that came into view was an ergonomically designed grip, and the trigger structure above the grip.

Seeing this, he didn't think there was any problem; after all, many high-pressure water guns had this design.

Immediately after, his gaze continued to the left.

He saw a long, thick, hollow cylindrical metal tube.

Seeing this launch tube, Wang Dachui's heart skipped a beat, and he felt something was wrong.

Which fire extinguisher needed a tube this thick?

He suppressed the unease in his heart, his gaze passing over the launch tube and landing on the far left, which was the head of this "fire extinguisher".

It was a sleek, cone-shaped... warhead with stable tail fins.

No!

That's not right!

This is not a warhead!

Wang Dachui blinked hard, and he saw that next to that cone-shaped object, his own factory director had clearly labeled in small print: 【Built-in high-efficiency compressed dry powder / flame-retardant aerosol】.

But this label, far from making him feel at ease, made his scalp tingle.

Finally, his gaze fell directly above the launch tube.

There, an additional, precisely structured optical sight with a crosshair had been installed.

Grip.

Launch tube.

Cone-shaped warhead.

Optical sight.

When these iconic parts combined in his mind.

A weapon codename that was notorious in countless war movies, news reports, and even games, exploded in his mind like a thunderclap.

RPG!

Isn't this f***ing an RPG rocket launcher?!

Wang Dachui felt his breathing stop at this moment.

His fat face turned the color of a pig's liver due to extreme shock, and his expression was twisted, almost constipated.

...

Li Jiajun leaned back in his boss chair.

He looked at Wang Dachui leisurely, waiting for the other party to emit tidal waves of amazement and praise after seeing his new invention.

However, after waiting for a long time, what he got was a weird silence.

He looked up and happened to see Wang Dachui's strange expression, so shocked that his facial features were almost twisted together.

Li Jiajun's brows furrowed slightly.

"What is that look in your eyes?"

He asked, somewhat suspiciously.

"What, do you recognize this thing?"

Before Wang Dachui could recover from the huge impact.

Li Jiajun was already stroking his chin, lost in thought.

Only a moment later.

He overturned his own question, saying in a righteous and unquestionable tone:

"That can't be right."

"This fire-fighting equipment is the latest invention I just realized by watching fireworks."

"It is the only one in the world, no other."

"How could you possibly recognize it?"

Li Jiajun looked at Wang Dachui, his face full of certainty that "you brat must be pretending, trying to trick me into explaining a few more things."

...

Hearing the Factory Director's overly confident words.

The corners of Wang Dachui's mouth began to twitch uncontrollably and violently.

He felt as if ten thousand complaints were stuck in his throat, but he couldn't spit out a single word.

'I...'

'I really don't recognize it!'

'Because the one I recognize isn't called a Long-Range Fire Extinguisher!'

'Big Brother!'

'This thing really doesn't exist in the fire-fighting field, but it exists in the military field!'

'Isn't this an RPG?'

'An anti-tank rocket launcher! Specifically used to hit armored vehicles and tanks!'

'You call this a fire extinguisher?'

Wang Dachui roared frantically in his heart, feeling as if he were falling apart.

His gaze uncontrollably fell once again to the bottom right corner of the drawing.

There, a line of bold, large characters marked the core performance parameters of this "fire extinguisher".

【Effective range: 10 kilometers】

Seeing this number, Wang Dachui felt his vision go dark, and he almost fainted on the spot.

Ten kilometers!

He finally understood what the words "Long-Range" meant!

This is more than just long-range!

This is almost catching up to short-range missiles!

'Ten kilometers?'

'You want to extinguish a fire from ten kilometers away?'

'What kind of fire needs to be extinguished from ten kilometers away?'

'Are you going to bomb that burning chemical plant, or do you intend to physically flatten everything within ten miles of the chemical plant!'

Wang Dachui's inner world was already surging with a tsunami.

He opened his mouth, really wanting to tell everything he saw and thought to this boss who was still immersed in the joy of being an inventor.

However.

When he looked up and saw Li Jiajun's exuberant appearance.

When he saw the pure, fanatical light of an inventor flickering in his Factory Director's eyes, without a trace of impurity.

The words that reached Wang Dachui's lips were swallowed back down hard.

'Forget it.'

'Even if I say it, he won't believe it.'

'He might even think I'm questioning his invention.' A thought like this emerged in his heart.

Wang Dachui swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down.

Then, he squeezed out a smile, uglier than crying, at Li Jiajun.

"Factory Director, I... I'll go make arrangements now."

After speaking.

He turned around and walked out of the office.

Damn it, this is a disaster.
