Chapter 389 Uncle Liu was stunned

As Li Jiajun applied pressure with his fingertips.

The dull roar of a jetting tail flame echoed.

A powerful blast of air suddenly erupted from the rear of the dark gray launch tube.

The massive recoil was largely offset by the clever design of the diversion grooves.

At that very instant.

Then, shortly after.

On the other half of the livestream screen—the site of the abandoned Fishing Rod factory seven or eight kilometers away.

The camera on the Deputy Factory Director's side captured a truly shocking scene.

On the open dirt ground, the small fire made of trash and scrap was still burning quietly.

The surroundings were eerily silent.

After a short while.

A sudden disturbance appeared on the horizon.

A black dot, accompanied by a whistle that tore through the air, streaked rapidly beneath the clouds.

A fire extinguishing shell with folding tail fins flew in.

The speed of the warhead was so fast that its full form couldn't be seen clearly.

Almost at the same moment the sound of breaking air reached the eardrums.

The projectile then smashed precisely into the very center of the fire.

There wasn't the slightest deviation.

The massive kinetic energy carried a world-destroying force.

Instantly, the fire extinguishing contents inside—the high-pressure compressed dry powder and flame-retardant aerosols.

Exploded violently.

...

There was no explosion of soaring flames, only the ultimate physical crushing.

A sky full of white powder, like a miniature avalanche, instantly enveloped the area.

Then, it quite simply extinguished the fire completely.

The fire that was raging just a second ago couldn't even produce a wisp of black smoke now.

All that remained was a crater covered in a thick layer of white powder.

Watching this scene, which was comparable to a precision-guided strike.

The entire online world seemed to have its pause button pressed.

And then.

The tens of thousands of family on the internet.

And all those hidden big shots lurking in every corner using alternate accounts.

Everyone was dumbstruck.

Everyone stared blankly at the white crater on the screen, their minds going completely blank.

...

Inside the spacious office of the Imperial Capital Ministry of Military Industry.

Then.

Liu Jianguo, in front of the screen, was also completely dumbfounded.

He stared at the screen without blinking, his palms drenched in sweat.

'This is impossible!'

'There's definitely something wrong with this range!' This thought surfaced in his mind.

As the top leader of the military industry system.

If he remembered correctly.

According to the military's internal high-precision surveying maps.

The new site of Li Jiajun's Li Family Toy Factory in Baishui City and the old Fishing Rod factory used as a firing range in the video.

Were separated by several patches of wasteland and hills.

It was a full eight or nine kilometers!

While the old department head was still desperately recalling the map to calculate the distance.

In fact, there was no need for him to guess.

...

On the screen.

Li Jiajun gracefully set down the launch tube, leaning it against a nearby metal rack.

During the video call.

He brought his face close to the phone's camera.

He spoke to the Deputy Factory Director on the right screen, who was covered in a bit of white dust:

"Old Liu."

"Tell the viewers, how far are you from my position?"

Hearing his boss call his name.

The Deputy Factory Director in the video swallowed hard.

He answered honestly:

"Line-of-sight distance, nine kilometers."

...

Nine kilometers!

Hearing this answer.

Li Jiajun proudly patted the thick launch tube beside him.

The tube body emitted a crisp metallic sound.

He looked at the camera.

With a sense of pride he couldn't hide, he stated confidently:

"family, did you hear that?"

"The maximum effective range of this beyond-visual-range fire extinguishing tool I designed is ten kilometers!"

"With this."

"It's absolute safety for firefighters!"

"They don't even need to get near the fire. Just fire a shot from afar, and the problem is solved!"

...

To the ears of ordinary Netizens, these words just made it seem like the Streamer was bragging in a flashy way.

However.

To those who truly knew the trade.

It was no different from triggering a magnitude twelve earthquake.

In the offices of various military district compounds and research institutes.

Those military bigwigs lurking with alternate accounts watched the footage of the precise explosion.

They collectively fell into unprecedented shock!

Hands holding teacups were trembling, and some people's breathing even became rapid.

Because as professional soldiers and insiders who made a living researching lethal weapons.

They knew better than anyone.

Currently, individual shoulder-fired rockets—whether made by Eastern Country or the most advanced active-duty models from Ugly Country.

Limited by the capacity of solid propellant and aerodynamic shape.

Could hit two kilometers at most.

And once they exceeded fifteen hundred meters, the trajectory basically became unreliable, relying entirely on luck.

But this 'big tube' created by Li Jiajun.

Was a solid ten kilometers!

A full five-fold leap in performance!

...

What made their scalps tingle even more was the accuracy!

Moreover.

To be able to span such a long distance while being subjected to the interference of various wind directions and air currents.

And still accurately hit a small pile of trash in the middle of a dirt field!

With such precision.

This was definitely not something that could be achieved by naked-eye rangefinding with an optical scope!

The minds of those military Experts were calculating at high speed.

'It must have advanced positioning and homing functions inside!'

'The warhead definitely integrates miniature infrared tracking or satellite guidance!' This thought surfaced in their minds.

Faced with this individual weapon of mass destruction that completely crushed active-duty equipment and led the world.

There was no need for a company commander to carry explosive packs; ordinary soldiers hiding ten kilometers away could accurately eliminate enemy fire bunkers.

This was a divine tool that could practically change the rules of local warfare!

Consequently.

The group of military people could no longer sit still.

Confidentiality regulations, hidden identities—all were thrown to the back of their minds.

One after another, they used their alternate accounts.

They impatiently posted bullet comments on the livestream's public screen.

The screen full of text instantly scrolled as fast as snowflakes.

...

The bullet comments were uniform, saying:

"Our unit wants this!"

"Place an order immediately!"

"Great, ten kilometers! This is exactly what we need!"

"Streamer, send your contact info privately. We want to bulk purchase these big tubes!"

"Don't anyone fight with our military district for them. We're sending trucks to pick up the goods right now!"

Looking at the screen full of "want it" and "purchase" comments.

Seeing this booming sales scene.

Li Jiajun sat in his executive chair.

He looked at these messages, his heart blooming with joy.

He thought these accounts with strange numerical handles were all from firefighting procurement units across the country.

He felt extremely happy and proud.

After all, his firefighting career was finally receiving strong recognition at the official level.

Meanwhile, in that spacious office of the Imperial Capital Ministry of Military Industry.

Having watched this thing demonstrate just one shot.

And directly become a hot item fought over by all the big shots in the military, Liu Jianguo.

This old comrade held his phone, completely dumbfounded.

This?? Yamete!!!
