164: My tears well up! In the past, it was always the Russian bear that cheated people out of their money, but this time it’s the other way around?

They never expected that the export version of the electromagnetic rifle produced by Dragon Country could possess such terrifying performance and effects.

If this was true, then to what extent would the performance of Dragon Country’s self-use electromagnetic weapon be strong?

'Could the effective range exceed a thousand meters?'

Many Mao Xiong Country members cried out in their hearts.

Suddenly!

As if remembering something,

Novikov looked up, stopped fiddling with the Type 98 electromagnetic assault rifle in his hand, and asked:

"Please wait, you just said... what other shooting mode does this gun have?"

"Overload?"

"That's right," the presenter nodded with a smile and said, "Overload mode, as the name suggests, because it's driven by electromagnetic energy, the power can be overloaded."

"That is, at the cost of sacrificing the electromagnetic generator and the lifespan of the firearm, the electromagnetic energy is forcibly overloaded to 150% before single-point shooting."

"Under this shooting mode, even ordinary special rifle bullets can achieve accurate shooting from an effective range of seven hundred meters to a thousand meters."

"Suka..." As if too shocked, Novikov subconsciously moved his lips.

The other members of the delegation behind him also stared at these electromagnetic weapons with various expressions.

It is imaginable what terrifying changes these weapons would bring to the battlefield if they were mass-equipped by other countries!

After all, even a sniper rifle only has an effective range of seven hundred meters, and often, the sniper's usual shooting distance is three hundred meters!

And internationally, those absurd sniping records exceeding four digits are either extremely lucky or involve the use of special weapons.

But no matter which kind, there are great restrictions, making it impossible for most people to easily achieve.

But now...

"Old Zhang, tell me honestly, how much do these weapons cost?" The more Novikov thought about it, the more he felt apprehensive, and he quickly turned to Zhang Qicai.

"If the price is right, I plan to procure a thousand units of each model for the first batch. At the same time, if there are accessories (matching parts), I will also consider the matching parts."

Upon hearing this, although Zhang Qicai still appeared to be smiling on the surface, he had already understood Novikov's thoughts deep down.

He just wanted to get some samples back for research.

Hoping to imitate them.

How to describe this kind of thing?

Zhang Qicai and the higher-ups did not want it to happen, but there was no way. As an ancient energy, even if Dragon Country was being secretive now, it did not mean that other countries could not research it.

Especially Eagle Nation.

There is even intelligence now showing that they have already developed many models of electromagnetic weapons.

However, most of them are still in the laboratory.

Even the very few that can be applied are auxiliary in nature, firing non-lethal ammunition for certain specific departments to use as “toys.”

And Dragon Country now selling these different models of electromagnetic weapons is equivalent to how Eagle Nation and other Anglo-Saxon groups hunted Dragon Country's lithography machines a few years ago.

They quickly seized Dragon Country's terminal market with mature, low-priced, and advanced finished computers.

And because there were no customers, Dragon Country's nascent lithography machine industry was forced to halt and die without a funding chain.

Fortunately, Lin Qi exists in this world.

Otherwise, the tragedy that happened in the previous life, where domestic lithography machine development was abandoned due to the influence of the “buy rather than build” mentality, would still be playing out!

"Alright!"

Looking at the earnest Novikov, Zhang Qicai looked around, and after confirming that no one from other foreign delegations was listening in, Zhang Qicai whispered:

"I won't hide it from you. According to the information I've received, the standard version of this electromagnetic rifle you're holding costs 8,000 US dollars."

"Optional accessories are extra."

"I just said that if you come to buy, I'll make the decision and give you a 5% discount, so each gun will cost 7,600 US dollars."

"How about it?"

"This is already a very favorable price. Although it is indeed more expensive than many rifles, it has better technology and stronger performance after all!"

"I think it's worth the price."

Zhang Qicai's face was full of sincerity.

However, the assistant next to him felt a mix of admiration and embarrassment in his heart.

After all, others didn't know the cost, but this assistant was very clear.

According to the manufacturer's calculations, the current production cost of each bare gun is approximately 3,000 US dollars.

If it could be mass-equipped throughout the army?

Then the price could even reach 1,000 US dollars.

Even 800 US dollars!

In other words, although Zhang Qicai said he was giving a 5% discount, even based on the current cost without mass equipment, he still made more than double the money!

He was simply a “cunning merchant”!

"That expensive?!"

In the delegation, a young military officer who looked to be only in his thirties couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.

The others nodded in agreement.

Even Novikov was the same.

But before Zhang Qicai could speak, Novikov sighed: "However... just as General Zhang said, this gun is indeed worth the price."

"How about this, Zhang, we'll have someone discuss this business in detail later. The price of the bare gun will be as you said, but..."

"After all, it's business, and I can't let my emotions get involved. So, when it comes to the price of the accessories, our people will still bargain!"

Zhang Qicai laughed heartily.

"Good, good, good, clear distinction between public and private, right? Not just you, when we purchased your fighter jets, wasn't it the same approach!"

"All understood, understood!"

Zhang Qicai spoke happily, and deep down, he was muttering with immense excitement:

'Hehe, since the fish has taken the bait, the rest will be easy!'

'Later, I'll have Little Liu raise the price again, making sure to achieve a two-fold, or at the very least, a 1.5-fold premium!'

'Although firearms are a small part, every little bit adds up. With so many countries here this time, even if only 10 of them agree to purchase?'

'The final total value could reach hundreds of millions of US dollars, which translates to over 800 million, or even 900 million RMB in current soft currency!'

'This is by no means a small sum!'

"General Zhang? General Novikov? What are you... Allah! These... are these also weapons sold by Dragon Country?"

Just as Zhang Qicai's heart was stirring, not far behind him, a familiar voice, filled with surprise, floated over.

Everyone turned to look, only to see the Saudi Arabia delegation walking towards them with shocked expressions.

And when they clearly saw the electromagnetic weapons displayed in front of everyone, without any surprise, their expressions were the same as those of the Mao Xiong Country representatives!

They all looked as if they had seen a ghost!

"Haha, better late than never. Mr. Abdullah, Your Royal Highness, are you interested in getting some electromagnetic weapons to play with, like Old Novikov?"

Saudi Arabia Delegation: "Electromagnetic..."

"Weapons?"
