Chapter 379 - Chapter 379: Chapter 246: Lawsuit!_2 (2/2)
He quickly came up with a new doubt: “Then why does the Hass Armed Forces’ weapons order have the same model numbers as those in his novel?”
Yu Qin pondered for a moment, then revealed a smile: “You haven’t delved deeply into the arms industry. Many times, arms dealers will use code names or aliases.”
“I’m not too clear on that,” Lucas said truthfully.
“For example, if a client wants a ‘SIG Sauer P365-AXG pistol,’ but this gun’s patent is with Sig Sauer Company, if I manufacture and sell it, that would be infringement. So, in transactions, we use some aliases. This also involves some military secrets concerning the procurement of weapons by armed factions. Some people can use this to analyze their military strength.”
Yu Qin explained patiently, like listing treasures in a family.
“I see!”
Lucas had an epiphany. “So, you’re saying, these are all aliases for weapons that Lin Chuan uses to avoid infringement?”
“Exactly.”
Yu Qin nodded and continued, scrolling down with the mouse wheel, quickly reaching the part about the ‘PHL-191 Long-range Box-type Rocket Launcher,’ “Take a look at this weapon.”
Lucas followed her gaze.
Here was detailed information about the ‘PHL-191 Long-range Box-type Rocket Launcher.’
[Name: PHL-191 Long-range Box-type Rocket Launcher]
[Type: Long-range Rocket Launcher]
[Design Features: The PHL-191 Rocket Launcher is modularly designed to easily swap out launch boxes, thus equipped with rockets of various ranges and types…]
[Guidance System: It employs an advanced composite guidance mode, including inertial guidance, satellite guidance, and air rudder guidance, ensuring that rockets maintain meter-level accuracy even hundreds of kilometers away…]
[Range: Using different rockets and devices, there are different ranges.]
[Number of Launches: A Long-range Rocket Launcher battalion is typically equipped with 12 PHL-191 launch vehicles, each vehicle fitted with at least 8 rockets…]
[…]
Lucas read through it patiently and then asked, “Is there anything special about this rocket launcher?”
Yu Qin’s brow furrowed slightly, “It has a lot of similarities with the ‘Long-range Box-type Rocket Launcher’ developed by Sania!”
“What specifics?”
Lucas’s tone quickened slightly.
“Modular design, guidance systems, and range, among others. On a broad level, they’re very similar! But at the detail level, I haven’t seen enough to be certain,” Yu Qin said, furrowing her brow.
Lucas understood Yu Qin’s implication.
She suspected Lin Chuan had stolen data from the ‘Sania Weapons Research Company’ and then, as an arms dealer himself, started producing and selling to the Hass Armed Forces.
This coincided with their original plan!
However.
Lucas pointed at the computer screen, at the range column: “In the novel, the ‘PHL-191 Long-range Box-type Rocket Launcher,’ with its 750mm tactical ballistic missiles, has a maximum range of up to 600 kilometers.”
Yu Qin shook her head and scoffed, “600 kilometers, that’s beyond our current capabilities.”
She had seen how realistically it was depicted in Lin Chuan’s novel.
Thus, she specifically contacted the ‘Sania Weapons Research Company,’ and communicated with their chief rocket launcher designer, Steve.
Steve stated it was impossible right away, candidly saying—
“Such a number can only come from the mind of a madman. Increasing the range of a rocket launcher by 50 kilometers would mean expending three times the effort. 600 kilometers, that’s a rocket launcher range not possible to achieve within the next five years!”
The ‘chief rocket launcher designer at Sania Weapons Research Company’ spoke with conviction.
Yu Qin believed him!
Without a doubt!
This expert in the field of rocket launchers, whom many countries had offered a fortune to recruit yet who still chose to stay in Sania.
“That means it’s fake!”
Lucas followed Yu Qin’s line of thinking, pondering.
Yu Qin nodded.
Lucas pointed again, “And this 370 kilometers…”
Yu Qin made a judgment without hesitation, “Exaggerated, just like their electric cars over there, claiming 1000 kilometers range when 600 kilometers is already quite honest.”
“I understand now!”
Lucas quickly grasped the trick, “Lin Chuan stole data from Sania Weapons Research Company and then altered the range from 350 kilometers to 370 kilometers, making it his own product.”
Yu Qin’s lips curled into a hint of a smile, “Prepare the complaint, get ready to sue.”
