The Life of a Gangster That Started In a Gun Shop

Chapter 24: The king of war is the king of technology

The man wrote the gun purchase application, and at the same time transferred half of the deposit to the Bank of America account opened by Ye Qing. With the prompt of the transfer to the account, a "ding dong" sounded in Ye Qing's mind.

After arranging for Conn to take the three to the shooting range for training, Ye Qing hurriedly asked Harris to take care of the shop. He flew upstairs and returned to his room.

"Congratulations on your achievement - the first transaction. Achievement reward: Unlock the raw material module in the mall!"

The moment Ye Qing saw the system prompt in his mind, Ye Qing almost couldn't help crying out in surprise.

The next step in my current plan is to modify the appearance of firearms. The biggest problem is the raw materials. The difficulty of the "Blue and White Porcelain" series planned by Ye Qing is also in the material.

The hardness of porcelain is very high, but the corresponding toughness is ridiculously poor. Maybe a slightly larger shock will lead to rupture, and such a product cannot satisfy the market at all.

After all, this kind of gun, even if its positioning is more beautiful than practical, it cannot be completely useless. Under the condition of satisfying the beautiful collection, Ye Qing did not want it to lose its original meaning as a gun and as a self-defense weapon.

Well now, with the drowsiness, the system will send a pillow!

I can't wait to enter the system panel and find the raw material module of the system mall. Ye Qing didn't look at other things, and directly searched for high-toughness ceramics in the keywords.

Soon, various high-toughness ceramic options appeared in front of Ye Qing's eyes. Such as high toughness hard porcelain, soft porcelain, bone china, etc., and the price per cubic decimeter is marked on the back.

At $99,999, looking at this staggering price... Ye Qing almost ignored the brackets behind the price. The price in parentheses is $100,000.

Why is there a dollar discount?

At the moment when Ye Qing had this thought in his heart, he suddenly realized something. Quickly exiting the raw material module, Ye Qing clicked into the light weapons module that he first came into contact with.

I saw that under the AR-15 column, the price also changed in this way.

There is also a bracket behind the price of $1,200 in front, and inside the bracket is the price of $1,600 that Ye Qing originally purchased. Except for the first time, all other models of guns are at the original price. There is no one cent discount.

In fact, Ye Qing noticed this price change at the beginning, but he just thought that he would not dare to get a lot of goods from the system mall in the short term and be ignored. Combining the two changes at this moment, Ye Qing entered the raw material mall again and began to observe carefully.

Until Ye Qing turned to gray, showing the part with insufficient authority. All other raw material prices are discounted by a dollar.

This change, Ye Qing is definitely not due to the external environment. After such a long exploration, Ye Qing also discovered that the system is a closed-loop ecology. In other words, it cannot interact with the outside world, and its internal database is a huge ecosystem.

Each functional module affects and promotes each other. Looking at it this way, combined with what he had learned, Ye Qing quickly pinpointed the root cause of this result. That is the progress of learning.

The price change of AR-15 stemmed from the last time I dismantled the gun. It was at that time when the gun was dismantled that Ye Qing knew the structure of the AR-15 produced by this system and the difference between it and the normal AR-15.

After that discovery, the price dropped by $400. As for the raw material mall that was unlocked this time, Ye Qing just started to learn materials science yesterday, but the learning has just begun, and he only had a rough understanding of conceptual things. So the discount is extremely limited.

And it is very simple to verify this. After focusing on the knowledge about porcelain tonight, I will see the price changes tomorrow.

But just like this, Ye Qing was a little confused again. Isn't this system the arms-trafficking system called Lord of War? Why does it feel more and more wrong now....

This skill tree is a bit crooked. It feels like this guy is running wildly on the road of no return to the black technology system. What's the matter? !

It's about his own life hack. Ye Qing, a lazy science student, is rare, and has become interested in the dialectical issues of liberal arts. After logging out of the system, Ye Qing sat in front of the computer, opened a series of websites such as Bhu, Douban, Forum, Tieba, etc., and began to search for the connection between war and technology.

When Ye Qing was browsing the website, time passed by minute by minute. Gradually, Ye Qing also wanted to understand.

War is a struggle between people, but isn’t it a struggle between technologies?

Among the answers Ye Qing saw, some people said that the war was fought against comprehensive strength and economic strength. Ye Qing does not deny this, but he agrees that it is the answer of technology.

Suppose country A has strong scientific and technological strength, but lacks economic strength. They can only fight a local war with 100 million. Country B lacks technical strength, but has strong economic capital. They have three hundred million.

Now the two countries are at war, and country A launches missiles at country B. Their missiles are fast and accurate. If country B wants to intercept a missile from country A, it has to pay at least 4 air defense missiles to do it.

However, the cost of a ballistic missile in country A is only $1 million, while an air defense missile purchased by country B costs $1.2 million. In this way, even if country A is far inferior to country B economically, when it faces country B, it will not hesitate in the slightest.

If the technology gap is a little bigger, country A's missiles and country B have no interception technology at all. They can't even intercept, and they can only turn into a barren mountain in the end.

Thinking about the business situation in the past few days, Ye Qing also woke up. If you don't have your own characteristics, then you can't even make a name for yourself. And if you don't have your own unique technology, then let alone the king of war, you may spend your whole life working for those big weapons factories.

It's not a matter of how many guns you sell. Don't you see how many arms dealers made a lot of money when the giant beast in the Far East disintegrated in 1991, but what happened?

As the wind of the times passed, they were still beaten back to their original shape. Continue to do the hard work of his own international tycoon, and when people bring up weapons, they still think of Colt, Boeing, Lockheed, Sikorsky and so on.

As the great man once said, science and technology are the primary productive forces.

For Ye Qing, the king of war means that he must be the king of technology. It doesn't really matter how much you sell now. As long as the store doesn't collapse and you don't starve to death, you can slowly accumulate technical reserves with the help of the system.

One day, I will achieve the goal given by the original system: the king of war!
