The moment the light returned, Lin Qi noticed that Pelius had already removed the strap holding the device in place. He simply held the night-vision device in his hand.
He was a little excited. "What is this?"

"If we had this, then the problem we're facing now..."
He could not help thinking of the Peng Joe People's constant nighttime attacks on the South Continent. If they had these devices, they would hold an absolute advantage.
It could even be said that whether they had airborne troops would no longer be so important. At night, everyone had been fighting with their eyes closed.
Now they could suddenly see at night. This was no small advantage—it was fucking cheating!
They could effectively blanket enemy defensive facilities with fire while not having to worry too much about being picked off by the enemy's long-range firepower. This thing was incredibly useful.
Lin Qi quickly poured cold water over him. "If you want the entire battlefield illuminated, we may need a great many high-powered devices, and we'll even have to overcome some technical difficulties."
"But for relatively small-scale applications like the present one, we can still meet the demand."
He glanced at the slightly deformed headgear in Pelius's hand. "Don't squeeze
