Chapter 2630

Seeing the close-defense cannons being carried out of the containers by the soldiers of the Wanlong Hall, Lang Hongjun couldn't help but gasp inwardly. He had also heard Wan Pojun mention it before, asking him to come help tinker with the close-defense cannon. Although he knew nothing about weapons, he was highly experienced in electronic technology-related techniques.

This was Lang Hongjun's first time observing a close-defense cannon up close. He had previously thought it was just a large machine gun, but when he actually saw it in front of him, he realized how huge it was, especially those six gun barrels as thick as arms—thick, long, and imposing.

The entire close-defense cannon looked like the turret part of a tank. The muzzle could move up and down, and the gun mount could rotate left and right, giving it a wide firing coverage.

Watching the soldiers of Wanlong Hall continuously assembling the cannon, Lang Hongjun couldn't help but say to Wan Pojun beside him: "Wan Hall Master, can such a ferocious weapon really be bought so easily?"

Wan Pojun nodded and said casually: "In Eastern Europe, basically, you can just buy it."

Lang Hongjun asked in surprise: "Isn't anyone regulating it?"

Wan Pojun shook his head, smiling: "No one regulates this kind of thing here. Private transactions aren't regulated either. The weapons and equipment used by various armed groups in Africa are basically all bought from here."

Lang Hongjun said: "I can understand buying an AK-47, but buying a close-defense cannon seems a bit over the top..."

Wan Pojun pointed to one of the close-defense cannons and laughed: "This thing is also an AK, just with a larger caliber—thirty millimeters."

As he spoke, Wan Pojun smacked his lips and said to Lang Hongjun: "Old Brother Lang, I have a question to consult you about."

Lang Hongjun quickly replied: "Go ahead."

Wan Pojun said: "You see, I plan to deploy these three close-defense cannons in the glass rooms on the three high points above. Installation is simple—once assembled, we'll lift them up with a helicopter. The roofs of the glass rooms can be opened, but the installation requirements for this thing are very high. We need to ensure shooting accuracy and avoid any recoil. When used on land, it must be firmly fixed to a reinforced concrete base. Fixing it isn't difficult, but Ye Mr. hopes I can quickly withdraw these three close-defense cannons after use, and the faster the better. You tell me—how can I achieve this? Manual disassembly would probably take a long time, but once this thing actually fires, I won't have much time to withdraw. Do you have any method that could let me dismantle it within a minute and then lift it away directly with a helicopter?"

Lang Hongjun rested his chin, walked around the close-defense cannon once, and said: "The usage requirement for this thing is just to fix it below with heavy bolts, ensuring it doesn't shake when firing, right?"

Wan Pojun nodded: "Yes!" Read book, bla

Lang Hongjun thought for a moment and said: "If you can even buy this thing, then buying a few explosive bolts shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Explosive bolts?" Wan Pojun asked curiously: "What are those used for?"

Lang Hongjun said: "Used in aerospace. You know multi-stage rockets, right? A three-stage rocket is essentially three rocket sections connected together. At launch, the first-stage rocket ignites first. When it reaches a certain height, its fuel is nearly exhausted, so it needs to quickly separate from the second-stage rocket. Then the second-stage rocket quickly ignites and continues flying. But the connection of the rocket also has very high strength requirements, and its rapid separation must happen in an instant. So aerospace scientists invented a kind of explosive bolt—essentially, a heavy bolt with an embedded explosive device and ignition device. When needed, as long as it's electrified, the entire bolt can be blown apart instantly, achieving immediate separation."

Wan Pojun recalled the scene of a rocket launch, suddenly realized, and blurted out: "I know now—that thing is indeed fast. Generally, when they say booster separation, it blows open in an instant."

"Exactly!" Lang Hongjun nodded and said: "This thing is very precise—it can ensure only itself is destroyed, without damaging the equipment it's connected to. It's not just used on rockets; fighter pilots' ejection seats also rely on it for connection, allowing instant release of the hard link."

As he spoke, Lang Hongjun added: "If you use explosive bolts to fix these three cannons to the base, then when needed, just detonate the bolts, and this thing will separate from the base. If you want it even faster, prepare the lifting ropes in advance. When the blast separates the connection, the helicopter can hook the ropes and directly lift it away."

"Great idea!" Wan Pojun excitedly clenched his fists and blurted: "Thank you, Elder Brother Lang. I'll arrange people to purchase them right away."

……

At the same time.

Nordic capital, Osu City.

Having split up with Dingyuan Earl Yun Ruoge to act separately, Jiongong Earl Obojun was sitting in a bar in Osu City, drinking.

These past few days, starting from Bergen, he had been investigating all the way, wanting to know where those few missing Jinyiwei had gone, but he had found no clues related to them at all.

Actually, when he was in Bergen, he had already considered two directions.

Since he was investigating the Jinyiwei line, on one hand he could investigate where the Jinyiwei went after disappearing in Bergen; on the other hand, he could also investigate what special circumstances the Jinyiwei had before coming to Bergen.

Among these, the former was naturally the best choice.

Because only by finding the whereabouts of the Jinyiwei could he know who rescued Lin Waner.

As for the latter, he could only hope that the Jinyiwei themselves had some shameful problem; otherwise, investigating this line further would basically be a waste of time.

So, Obojun chose the former first and had continuously investigated in Nordic countries for several days.

He had investigated all the way to Osu City, yet still found no clues.

Feeling depressed, he simply went to a bar in Osu City and drank heavily.

However, just as he began to feel a slight buzz, his phone suddenly received a message from a virtual number, containing only six short characters: "Meeting in half an hour."

He helplessly put away his phone, took out two banknotes, pressed them under the wine glass, stood up, and walked out of the bar.

Returning to his hotel, Obojun washed up, then promptly opened a special app on his phone.

After opening the app, he first entered the password, then underwent facial and voice recognition. Once all passed, his account was automatically pulled into the online meeting room by the system.

At that moment, the phone screen showed five screens, each about the size of a matchbox. One was in the center, and the other four were distributed at the four corners of the screen.

However, among the five screen frames, three were completely black, indicating they hadn't connected yet. Only two had connected: one showed Obojun's real-time image in the upper right corner, and the other showed a white-bearded elder in the upper left corner.

Seeing that white-bearded elder, Obojun respectfully clasped his hands and said with a smile: "Changsheng Earl, I don't know where you are now, Elder."

"Yanjing." Changsheng Earl uttered two words lightly.

Obojun quickly asked: "Have you found any clues about Lin Waner, Elder?"

"No." Changsheng Earl shook his head, still being terse.

Obojun stretched, yawned, and said: "Ah... this girl is indeed very cunning!"

Just as he was speaking, the lower left corner showed someone had connected, and the screen immediately displayed the face of a middle-aged or elderly man.

Obojun reached out to greet him: "Zhongyong Earl, is life in New York very pleasant for you?"

The man called Zhongyong Earl smiled and said: "I came out this time to relieve the worries of the Ying Lord. For me, it's the same wherever I am."

At this moment, the lower right corner lit up, and Dingyuan Earl Yun Ruoge appeared on the screen.

Seeing her, Obojun thought she seemed to be sitting alone on a government aircraft, so he asked: "Dingyuan Earl, where are you going?"

Yun Ruoge said lightly: "I'm going to the Far East to take a look. That place is vast and sparsely populated, which matches the conditions Lin Waner needs for hiding."

Obojun exclaimed in surprise: "Going to the Far East?! Why didn't you give prior notice?"

Yun Ruoge casually replied: "You and I chose different directions, so greeting you wouldn't mean much."

Obojun still wanted to say something, but the center screen suddenly lit up. Everyone's expressions tightened, and they all immediately stopped talking.

The center screen changed from pitch black to a blinding white light, revealing no other objects or even outlines.

Immediately after, a voice processed by a voice changer asked coldly: "How far have you all investigated?!"
