As Trent watched the Wanlong Pce soldiers maneuver three near-anti-aircraft guns out of a container, he couldn’t help but feel a mix of surprise and awe. He had previously been informed by Abbas that he was needed to assist with these powerful weapons. While he might not have known much about them, he was confident in his expertise in electronic technology.


    This was Trent’s first encounter with a close-range anti-aircraft gun. Initially, he had imagined it to be akin to arge machine gun, but being up close, he realized just how massive it truly was. The six gun barrels, thick as arms, were long and formidable, creating an imposing presence.


    The entire near-defense gun resembled the turret of a tank, with a muzzle capable of moving vertically and a base that could pivot left and right, providing extensive fire coverage.


    As he observed the Wanlong Pce soldiers assembling the guns, Trent turned to Abbas and asked, “Master Abbas, is it really possible to casually purchase such a formidable weapon?” Abbas nodded and replied casually, “In Eastern Europe, it’s basically a simple purchase.”


    Trent raised an eyebrow in disbelief, “Isn’t there any oversight?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    With a smile, Abbas shook his head, “Not at all. This sort of thing flies under the radar here, and private transactions go unchecked. Many armed groups in Africa acquire their weapons from this region.”


    Trent expressed his understanding, “I can see how buying an AK47 wouldn’t raise eyebrows, but acquiring a close-in anti-aircraft gun seems a bit excessive…”


    Pointing at one of the guns, Abbas chuckled, “This is basically an AK too, just with arger caliber—30mm.”


    Then, turning to Trent, Abbas asked, “Brother Trent, I have a question for you.”


    “Go ahead,” Trent replied eagerly.


    Abbas continued, “I n to set up these three close-in anti-aircraft guns in the ss room at the three elevated positions above. They can be deployed, but the instation has to meet strict requirements to ensure shooting uracy. They must be securely fixed to a reinforced concrete base. While that part is straightforward, Mr. Wade wants me to ensure that the guns can be quickly retracted after use. Ideally, I need a solution that allows for dismantling within a minute so I can evacuate quickly if needed. Manually disassembling them seems time-consuming, and once they begin firing, I won’t have much time. Do you think it’s possible to remove them swiftly enough to be lifted by a helicopter?” Trent pondered, stroking his chin as he inspected the near-defense gun.


    “To use this weapon effectively, it needs to be anchored with heavy-duty bolts to prevent shaking during firing, correct?” Trent inquired. Abbas nodded, “Exactly!”


    After a moment of thought, Trent suggested, “If you can acquire this weapon, purchasing a few explosive bolts shouldn’t be too difficult either.”


    “Explosive bolts?” Abbas asked, intrigued. “What are those for?”<fn0a31> Content originallyes from FιndＮovel</fn0a31>


    Trent exined, “They’remonly used in aerospace applications. Think of multi-stage rockets. Essentially, a three-stage rocket consists of three interconnected rockets. Whenunching, the first stage ignites first, followed by the separation of the second stage, which then ignites and ascends. The connections between these stages must be solid yet capable of rapid separation, which is where explosive boltse into y. In simple terms, these are heavy-duty bolts equipped with built-in explosive and ignition mechanisms.”
