Because if you could detect out at 5 or 10 kilometers, then you move the system.
both on the ground and then with the antenna to kind of protect.
And so out to like a half mile, mile, that type of distance, which is what about this property would be, you would be safe.
And if you had a really critical target, you might want two on a property about this size.
Exactly.
And then that way you don't need to beam over the house or whatnot.
You've got one half of Leonidas, this guy, one half Leonidas, this guy.
And to your question earlier, you can take the beams and steer them in the same direction, point them at the same target, and it doesn't quite double up, but it gives you about 50 or 60% more range by having two systems.
So the seams, like if you had two left and right of your house right now, the seam down the middle is where people would think to go, but...
that seam is covered as well or even better than coming right out the system.
So we try to make a very sort of robust shield, if you will, so that nothing can get through.
And we're that final last line.
Nothing.
Like I would stand in, like I tell people, there's a famous, one of my sort of fans from the nuclear Navy was Admiral Rickover.
He was like one of the greatest intrapreneurs in the world, created the entire nuclear program in like four years for subs and for surface ships and all of that.
And there's a famous scene where Admiral Rickover goes into Congress and drinks the effluent of the primary coolant.
He drinks down a glass of it saying how safe, to try to illustrate how safe.
I was telling someone before we came out here, I said, I would stand in front of the main beam, not for like an hour, but I'd stand in front of the main beam for like 15 seconds and go, zap me.
It won't do anything.
It won't, it wouldn't do a thing to me.
