[Rescue] completed. You have received 8,000 EXP.
+ 100 Stardragon Strategic Defense Department Favorability.
"Brother Xiao, you're amazing!" Lin Yao's eyes shone with admiration.
"You only realized it today?" Han Xiao raised his eyebrows.
Zhang Wei was very open-minded. He felt that he had suspected Han Xiao wrongly, so he apologized. "I apologize for doubting your ability before. If it weren't for your leadership and new equipment, we would've been dead. As the captain, I welcome you to our team."
Although the captain's welcome was late, it was better than not arriving at all, Zhang Wei thought to himself.
Han Xiao smiled faintly. "There's no need to apologize for such a small matter. I'm a generous person after all."
Zhang Wei suddenly felt a chill down his spine. Why did it feel like he was being sarcastic?
Han Xiao thought of something. "By the way, who made your armor?"
"Oh, this is the incomplete prototype of the Combatant Armor. It was a trophy obtained from Theseus a few years ago. Currently, we only have one prototype, and we're still working on the blueprints. However, the progress is slow, and even maintenance is troublesome. It's my equipment now."
The prerequisite knowledge for the Combatant Armor was the advanced weapon branch, [Heavy Machinery Modification]. This was the prerequisite skill for many individual mechas, exoskeleton armors, and large war vehicles. Theseus had only developed the prototype, so Stardragon's development speed would definitely be even slower.
Han Xiao's eyes flashed. "Leave the maintenance of your armor to me in the future."
"Okay." Zhang Wei was overjoyed. After this operation, he trusted Han Xiao's ability.
Li Ya Lin excitedly said in the earpiece, "Is this your new invention?"
Han Xiao explained the functions of the high-explosive ammunition to everyone. They were all experienced agents, so they immediately understood that this was a new type of incendiary bullet. It was similar to the armor-piercing incendiary bullet, but the degree of combustion was even higher.
The armor-piercing incendiary bullet could pierce through armor. The impact of the incendiary bullet would generate heat, and it would only burn if there was something combustible around it. As for the high-explosive bullets, they used an unknown new type of incendiary. They didn't need to be heated by collision and could directly ignite the air. When attached to any object, they could "ignite" everything. The temperature was very high, and its power was equivalent to that of a highly concentrated molotov cocktail. Furthermore, it could be fired with a firearm, and its speed and range were many times higher than that of a handheld projectile. It would be an extremely lethal weapon in a jungle environment, and it would bring more tactical options!
Zhang Wei and the others witnessed with their own eyes how the Black Harrier helicopter, which was able to withstand armor-piercing bullets, was set ablaze by Lambert's three shots. They had no choice but to retreat from the battlefield. Unless they were made of heat-resistant materials, metal could easily be heated to an unbearable degree.
Ma Qing Yang squeezed into the channel and excitedly asked, "Do you sell these bullets?"
"Of course. Fifty for one bullet." Han Xiao's eyes flickered. This was a good opportunity to introduce the high-explosive bullets. Through actual combat results, he could improve his reputation.
Ma Qing Yang couldn't wait any longer. "I'll buy 200 rounds in advance. 20 of them are small caliber handgun rounds, 150 are submachine gun rounds, and 30 are sniper rounds."
"Yes, you can get it within a day."
Han Xiao said to Li Ya Lin, "Continue to transfer orders for me. I'll give you a 20% discount as usual."
Li Ya Lin's eyes curved into crescents. "Okay."
…
News of Ma Qing Yang's team being rescued spread like wildfire within the headquarters. The reputation of the high-explosive bullets spread like wildfire.
"Han Xiao's new product?"
"I heard that Ma Qing Yang's team survived because of the high-explosive bullets."
The incident with the retractable knife had piqued the curiosity of many agents of Division 13. When they heard that Ma Qing Yang had ordered a batch of high-explosive bullets, they all came to investigate. Ma Qing Yang had been rescued by Han Xiao's team, so he returned the favor. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he tested out the functions of the high-explosive bullets on the training ground.
A raging fire!
The spectators were instantly captivated by the power of the high-explosive bullets.
Good stuff!
After leaving the training ground, the first thing the agents did was to look for Li Ya Lin to place the order. Compared to close-range weapons, the high-explosive bullets sold like hot cakes, just as Han Xiao had expected.
The introduction of a new type of bullet immediately attracted the attention of the higher-ups of Division 13. They could not let the same mistake happen again and leak the blueprints.
Thus, the head of the R&D department, who had yet to recover from his shock, was once again called out by the higher-ups to give him a stern warning. He had no intention of messing with Han Xiao in the first place.
Division 13 offered an unlimited supply of high-explosive bullets to equip the field team and the special forces. They lowered the price by a little bit. Five hundred dollars for twenty thousand dollars. Han Xiao agreed to this price. Orders from agents were not as stable as large purchases, and it was better to have an additional source of sales.
Han Xiao's stockpile of thousands of bullets was sold out within a day. With the addition of the 1.5 million from the Dark Net, he did not have to worry about money for the time being.
After his advancement, Han Xiao's production speed increased once again. He focused on producing high-explosive bullets. As a show of support, Division 13 provided him with a batch of specialized equipment for producing cartridges and primers. He did not have to spend any effort on polishing the shells, and his efficiency increased greatly. He could produce at least three hundred bullets per batch, and he could produce more than ten rounds a day. Each high-explosive bullet gave at least five to ten experience points, so he could earn twenty to thirty thousand experience points a day.
His experience points were accumulating like crazy.
Han Xiao believed that no Mechanic player of the same level could earn experience points faster than him.
Other than training his Energy Refinement Technique every day, Han Xiao spent the rest of his time on producing high-explosive bullets.
It was finally time to reap the rewards!
…
"You're not selling high-explosive bullets to me?"
Kratt was furious. He had heard rumors about high-explosive bullets, so he wanted to buy them. Originally, he was prepared to apologize if Li Yalin made things difficult for him. He believed that there was a high chance that Han Xiao would not pursue the matter. However, as soon as he expressed his intentions, he was firmly rejected by Li Yalin.
"Han Xiao said that you're on his blacklist. He won't make any deals with you, and he won't accept any of your apologies," Li Yalin said coldly.
The surrounding agents who were waiting to place their orders stared at Kratt with playful expressions.
Many of the agents who had hesitated to sell the Retractable Knife were now relieved. Luckily, Kratt was one step faster than them. He had almost offended Han Xiao. It seemed like Han Xiao was serious.
Kratt's expression was ugly. He snorted angrily and turned to leave. He did not believe that his colleagues would not sell the high-explosive bullets to him if he spent more money.
However, after asking around, he found that no one was willing to sell. Even when he raised the price to two hundred per round, no one agreed.
Even some of his colleagues who were close to him rejected him politely.
"Why?"
Kratt was shocked. He felt that he was being ostracized.
Finally, an old friend told him the reason. "As long as I sell it to you, I will offend Han Xiao. Who knows if I will be blacklisted? Furthermore, Han Xiao might have other good things in the future. It's not worth it to offend him just to help you."
Kratt suddenly remembered his previous thoughts. He had thought that it was not worth it to not earn money from the R&D Department because he was afraid of offending Han Xiao.
Now, it was the complete opposite.
It was not worth it to be on Han Xiao's blacklist for that small amount of money!
He was the one who was short-sighted!
Kratt regretted it.
…
R&D Department, a studio.
Luo Xuan's face was cold. He took out a small box containing twenty high-explosive bullets. He had asked someone to buy it.
On Han Xiao's blacklist, there was only Kratt's team, not Luo Xuan. He felt that Luo Xuan was a member of the R&D Department and had deduced the blueprints with his own ability. This was his responsibility and was not as bad as Kratt. Now that the R&D Department had been ordered by the higher-ups to not trouble him, Han Xiao felt that there was no need to target Luo Xuan.
Moreover, he thought that Luo Xuan was a logistics staff and did not need to buy his equipment.
However, Luo Xuan did not think so. Instead, he felt that he was being looked down upon.
"Han Xiao! Do you look down on me that much? You don't even want to deal with me! "
Luo Xuan was burning with anger. His heart was filled with resentment.
He had misunderstood. It was not that Han Xiao looked down on him, but that Han Xiao had never even seen him before.
The head of the R&D Department had ordered that no one was allowed to research high-explosive bullets. However, Luo Xuan could see that the higher-ups of Division 13 valued high-explosive bullets.
It was not that the higher-ups did not want the blueprints, but they were worried about offending Han Xiao.
Therefore, this time, Luo Xuan was prepared to research the blueprints of high-explosive bullets privately and secretly present them to the higher-ups. Division 13 had many military factories that could manufacture without Han Xiao's knowledge. After all, Han Xiao could not know everything. After deciphering the retractable knife last time, Luo Xuan had built up his confidence. He felt that Han Xiao's skills were mediocre and that he could easily decipher high-explosive bullets this time.
If I succeed, the higher-ups will definitely look at me differently! This is my only chance to turn things around. I must not fail! The more Luo Xuan thought about it, the more he felt that his plan was reliable.
As for the head of the R&D Department's order, Luo Xuan did not care at all. That bastard had gone back on his word.
Luo Xuan took a deep breath and adjusted himself to his best state. He controlled the tweezers and prepared to separate the bullet. The core of the combustion bomb was the combustion agent in the bullet. Researching the composition of the combustion agent was the most important task.
Clang!
The bullet was successfully separated. The first step was a success!
The next step was to disassemble the bullet and extract the combustion agent. This step had to be done with extreme caution. There could not be any friction. A buffer tube was already prepared. Regardless of whether the combustion agent was in powder form or solution form, it would not ignite.
Luo Xuan felt that he had performed perfectly this time. He steadily opened the bullet.
"Success! Next is to research the composition … "
Luo Xuan was overjoyed.
However, the moment he opened the bullet, intense flames swelled in his vision.
