Chapter 98

Clearly, the system had once again reached the conditions for an upgrade.

"Ding... detected that the host has reached the conditions for a technology tree upgrade. Do you wish to upgrade!"

"Upgrade!" Lin Yi had almost no hesitation.

"Upgrade initiated..."

"Upgrade complete!!"

As Lin Yi opened the virtual system panel, it had changed to:

"Host: Lin Yi"

"Age: 21"

"Race: Human"

"Arms Dealer Reputation: 105 (An arms dealer with a small reputation)"

"Technology Tree Level: Three Stars"

It might be that this Double 11 promotional event allowed the Dragon Nation flagship store to make a big splash on a global scale.

This is what gave the Dragon Nation flagship store a small reputation.

"Ding... starting to unlock the new weapon catalog!"

"Please select the catalog category!"

Immediately, Lin Yi chose the tank category of weapons without almost any hesitation.

Subsequently, in the catalog within the weapon store, various tank-type equipment from World War II to the 1980s appeared.

This included the Hans "Leopard 2," the first Western tank produced in 1979 to be equipped with a smoothbore gun.

The 105mm caliber Ugly Nation M1 main battle tank,

the Soviet 115mm T-62, the T-64 and T-72 equipped with 125mm smoothbore guns, and so on.

Although the tanks unlocked by the system were all equipment from before the 80s, they had the advantage of being cheap.

Taking the classic T-72 tank as an example, even if the Bear Nation were to reproduce this tank now, the cost price would not be less than 2 million US dollars.

And this tank produced by the system had a selling price of 200,000 US dollars per unit.

If the price were tripled and sold at 600,000 per unit, Lin Yi guessed that there would still be quite a few buyers willing to purchase it.

After all, the T-72 is equipped with a 125mm smoothbore gun,

adhering to the consistent combat philosophy of the Soviet Union,

with features such as a large-caliber main gun,

capable of firing gun-launched missiles, and equipped with an automatic loader and a series of other advanced equipment.

The tank is installed with a turbocharged diesel engine with a total power of 780 horsepower and NBC protection.

Although the T-72 tank has been criticized since the Gulf War and has been destroyed countless times.

But on one hand, that is because the T-72 was born a long time ago, and current weapon equipment has greater lethality against this outdated tank.

On the other hand, most of the ones exported during the Soviet era were "monkey versions."

The tanks used by the Soviet Union itself were destroyed far less often.

If one feels the T-72 is too outdated, the catalog also contains the Soviet third-generation main battle tank, the T-80.

It is equipped with a GTD-1000T gas turbine engine with 1000 horsepower, a laser rangefinder, and other advanced equipment.

The system selling price is 250,000 US dollars per unit.

Lin Yi marked it at 1 million US dollars, feeling there was no problem at all.

After all, even if the Bear Nation were to produce this model of tank themselves today, it would be impossible for the price to be lower than this.

A T-90 tank from the Soviet era had a Bear Nation manufacturing cost price of over 3 million US dollars.

Even if the T-80 were cheaper than the T-90, the Bear Nation's cost price would certainly be no less than 2 million US dollars per unit.

It can be said that with the unlocking of tanks, Lin Yi's profits might skyrocket.
