Chapter 379: Chapter 204: My Lord, The Times Have Changed_3

The civilian micro-drones that are more affordable are too numerous and varied to count. There are rotor drones, biomimetic drones, amphibious drones that operate on water and in the air.

Civilian drones are primarily made of plastic or composite materials; they are mainly powered by electric motors, equipped with full HD or 4K cameras as their reconnaissance payloads. The performance of the camera determines its reconnaissance capabilities, and they can be fitted with additional offensive payloads for deploying light munitions, with prices ranging from 200 to 3000 US Dollars.

Civilian drones are consumables on the battlefield, and the biggest difference from military drones is their resistance to jamming, akin to the difference between exploding toys and massive killer weapons.

The truly high-end large-scale drones cost tens of millions of US Dollars, loaded with an ’Internal Cultivation Methods’ neural system which are high-end C4 systems, ’Skull’ systems, and ’Thousand-Hand Guanyin’ systems.

A single electromagnetic interference bomb can instantly knock out 100,000 modified civilian drones in a combat zone, burning through their circuit boards and rendering them useless, but it might not be able to completely destroy professional military large-scale drones, thanks to their ’Divine Protection’.

However, from an economic standpoint, the most cost-effective on conventional battlefields are still the fire-carrying micro civilian drones - low cost with quick effects.

Even if you were Bolt, with two legs running on the ground until kidney failure, you can’t outrun drones in the sky; you’d be taken down easily - show your head and you’re done for!

Ordinary radar signal scanning, compared to modern electronic warfare active phased array radar, is like the difference between: a martial arts master giving orders, sending out millions of scouts to report back,

And, a Great Vehicle period cultivator instantly expanding the ’Divine Sense Domain’, where not even an ant can hide from their detection.

If he’s in a bad mood, he could also block all your senses. Shout out loud and directly burn through your eardrums, turn your brain chips into watts, and cause a snow screen in your eyes, turning you into an idiot.

Loop ’Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf’ a hundred times inside your skull, or even play some little naughty movies for you.

What’s the point in playing then?

Without radar, missiles are blind; a thousand troops can’t even shoot an arrow, and nuclear bombs have to stay put.

Aircraft carrier? If an aircraft carrier goes blind at sea, you’ll have to return to the age of great navigation and crawl back using a compass!

Electronic warfare is just that domineering, a smash from another dimension, toying with you with a clap of their hands, not on the same level at all.

My lord, times have changed.

Those who can attend this exhibition are basically from Armed Nations with star-level qualifications. The higher the gun store’s credit score and weight, the higher the discounts they enjoy.

Of course, the purchase price for arms dealers can’t be the same as the market selling price; otherwise, how would they make any profit?

Though called an exhibition, in the eyes of the General Sect Leader, it looked more like a marketplace for freelancers.

Among them, there were even two arms dealers who got into a heated argument over a mere 1.5% discount.

Allen Zhang and Sieg took a lap around the exhibition, and surprisingly, they even saw the boss from West Street Armed Nation. The other party was also a bit surprised to see them and greeted with a smile, "Are you guys here for the exhibition, too? See anything you like?"

"We are indeed looking to get a few armored transport vehicles, are you here to source goods as well?" Allen Zhang asked, somewhat surprised.

"Sourcing goods? No, I’m here to sell!"

The Armed Nation boss smirked slightly and pointed to a modified Black Hawk Helicopter not far away, vividly showing the two what it means to be an industry boss.

"I no longer rely on selling ordinary guns and ammunition to make money. More of it is about exchanging interests with some people. If you want to make big money, you have to engage in more businesses. That retired Black Hawk Helicopter, although a bit damaged, can still fetch a selling price of 5 million US Dollars in the market of Third World Countries, but I only spent 700,000 US Dollars to buy it."

Then you are indeed incredible.

Directly earning several million US Dollars in profit!

"For example?"

Allen Zhang humbly asked for advice.

"The deal you made today was very good. The Major at the Roginwei Military Base seems to have a very high opinion of you. Keep it up, and you will definitely be able to earn even more money and take on more business in the future," the owner of Armed Nation said with a smile.

Seeing an acquaintance approaching, he turned around and said to them, "My friends are coming over to discuss a deal, so continue with your visit."

"Ok."

Watching the other party leave, Allen Zhang also brought Sieg to the section selling armored transport vehicles and got some information from the staff.

There was no change in price, you could drive away with a full payment of 180,000 US Dollars. If it needed to be transported, there would be an additional transport fee.

Naturally, the frugal General Sect Leader chose to have his own people drive it to save on transportation costs.

"Can we test drive it?" Allen Zhang asked.

"Of course. The model of this vehicle is a bulletproof version customized by Mayweather Company; bombproof tires can ignore the spray of small-caliber bullets, and the bulletproof glass can resist the close-range spray of shotgun bullets. It is capable of performing transportation tasks in the mountains and on rugged gravel roads."

The staff handed over the car keys to the two of them, and Allen Zhang started the armored vehicle.

It felt even better to drive in terms of handling and power compared to Armed Nation’s transport vehicles.

After driving around the venue for a few laps and testing the vehicle’s performance on specially designed rough terrain and sand-marshes, the power and engine proved to be very strong.

After getting out of the vehicle, after discussing with Sieg, they decided to purchase three transport vehicles right away.

Having four transport vehicles to alternate business orders, was basically enough.

The staff also replied, "There are 20 armored transport vehicles for sale at the exhibition, 6 have already been booked, and of the Mayweather Company customized versions, only 2 remain. Most of the remaining vehicles are armored transport vehicles produced by Thunder Fire Company."

"Is there any difference?" Allen Zhang asked immediately, not knowing much about brands.

"There’s no difference in quality; the transport vehicles from Thunder Fire Company are the latest model products. However, most people prefer to buy big-brand bulletproof vehicles, even if they are stock vehicles produced a few years ago."

The staff explained, "The market price for a Thunder Fire transport vehicle can be around 200,000 US Dollars, but now they can also be purchased for 180,000."

Does this mean the customers are getting a bargain?

"If there’s no difference, then we’ll take all Thunder Fire. Personally, I don’t care much for brand effect; practicality is what’s best."

Allen Zhang followed the staff to the hangar warehouse to take a look at the actual vehicles. Basically, there was no difference; bombproof tires and bulletproof facilities were all inclusive, as well as functions like a one-button alarm, emergency call, and satellite communication.

If you’re considering installing heavy firepower in the transport vehicle, additional custom projects have to be purchased, such as installing machine guns, large-caliber cannons, Vulcan Gatlings, or grenade launchers on the roof. However, once these kinds of weapons are modified, the vehicle can no longer be parked in the city; it must be parked outside in the suburbs.

After all, no one can guarantee what you’re going to do with that kind of car in the city!

Are you still in the business of transporting military hardware?

If you said one day you were going to bomb vault doors at the bank or terrorize the City Government, they would believe it!
