Give Grandpa some face, Zhang Tou will stew pork ribs for you.

The next morning, while Wu Zu was still asleep, he suddenly felt someone forcefully pull him up.

He groggily opened his eyes and saw the old man excitedly patting his face.

"What time is it? Get up! We have things to do today!"

"Oh? Something's wrong..."

Wu Zu muttered something and then lay back down on the bed.

"Grandpa, I've already asked my teacher for sick leave. I don't need to go to school this week. Can you let me sleep for another 10 minutes?"

Wu Shuanzhu looked helpless and gently poked him with his fan: "Who was talking about school? I was talking about going to the military district. They're all waiting for us!"

"Oh, let them wait a bit, getting some sleep is more important," Wu Zu mumbled sleepily.

"You little rascal..."

Wu Shuanzhu was getting a little anxious seeing that Wu Zu looked like he hadn't woken up yet.

He hadn't slept well all night since the tank was driven away last night, hoping to go to the military district to check if his tank had been damaged.

"Grandma, give Grandpa some face. If you get up now, Grandpa will stew some pork ribs for you later!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Zu sat up abruptly.

"Really?"

Wu Shuanzhu was speechless when he saw Wu Zu's appearance.

"You little rascal, all you're thinking about is eating ribs, aren't you?"

"Hehe, I'm still growing!"

It's important to understand that in the 80s, although China was no longer experiencing famine, many people still couldn't get enough to eat, and eating meat was a luxury.

For Wu Zu, who had traveled through time, this was something he had been craving for a long time.

After washing up, the old man took Wu Zu on a tractor and headed straight for the Gupeng Military Sub-district.

Chapter 10 The Technician is Right in Front of Us

The test site is located south of the Gupeng Military Sub-district.

A Type 99A main battle tank, painted entirely in black, stood steadily in the center of the field.

Last night, the news about the Type 99A main battle tank spread like wildfire throughout the military region. In order to see this new tank with their own eyes, all the companies ended their training early.

Before 10 o'clock, more than a dozen squads of soldiers had already gathered around the test site.

Everyone looked at each other, their eyes fixed on the tank in the distance, their faces filled with anticipation.

Liang Jinsong didn't sleep well last night either, his mind was filled with thoughts of the Type 99A main battle tank.

Before dawn, he sent someone to fetch Wu Zu.

Little did he know that Wu Shuanzhu had already set off with Wu Zu ahead of time, riding on that sputtering tractor, heading all the way to the military district.

Liang Jingsong checked the time, his brows furrowed. "What's going on? Why haven't they arrived yet? It should only be an hour and a half drive!"

After saying that, he hurriedly instructed the guard beside him, "Go check with the gatekeeper and the people from the Jiangnan Arsenal, see if they've been found yet."

"Yes, sir!" The guard, having received the order, jogged away.

Not long after, the guard returned with two young men covered in mud and grease.

"Reporting to the commander, these two are technicians from the Jiangnan Arsenal."

The two technicians quickly saluted Liang Jingsong and said in unison, "Greetings, Commander!"

Liang Jinsong nodded in return, then glanced past them and looked behind him: "Where's your factory manager?"

The two technicians exchanged a glance and said, "The factory manager said he has something to do and can't come."

Upon hearing this, Liang Jinsong was nearly furious.

"Hey, why doesn't Old Lei understand? I invited him to come and learn about new technologies, why doesn't he take it seriously?"

Liang Jingsong grew angrier the more he thought about it. Such an important matter, yet the other party didn't take it seriously at all. He had specifically emphasized it, but it was still the same. Old Lei was going too far!

Then, he looked the two young men over and said, "That's not right. I often go to the arsenal, how come I've never seen you two before?"

"Uh...we're new here, we're here to learn the skills from Master Wang."

One of the young men answered.

Upon hearing this, Liang Jingsong nearly jumped up in a panic: "No way! I told you to send a technician, why did you only send two apprentices? This old Lei, he's completely disregarding my orders!"

Just then, two figures, one large and one small, appeared outside.

Upon seeing this, Liang Jinsong immediately strode forward to greet him.

"Oh my goodness, my little darlings, you've finally arrived! What took you so long?"

Wu Shuanzhu glared at him disapprovingly: "We set off at dawn, and to save time, we took a tractor. You still complain about how slow it is?"

"Huh?" Liang Jingsong was taken aback and looked at Wu Zu, who was yawning beside him. "No, I sent a car to pick you up, but you didn't see it?"

Wu Zu looked at Wu Shuanzhu with a depressed expression.

"Grandpa, I knew they would send a car to pick us up. You still had to wake me up so early. I was so sleepy!"

Wu Shuanzhu opened his mouth, but was speechless for a moment. He then glared at Liang Jingsong.

"Why didn't you say so sooner? I didn't know! Let's get started."

Then, Liang Jinsong hurriedly led them to the test site in the south of the military region.

On the test field, everyone eagerly awaited the arrival of the person who would provide the explanation.

Hongshan was slightly taken aback when he saw Liang Jingsong bringing Wu Shuanzhu and Wu Zu over.

"The old commander?"

He quickly stepped forward and saluted Wu Shuanzhu.

"Old Commander, I didn't expect you to have heard about this too. Your timing is perfect; the tank modification expert is arriving soon too!"

Seeing Hongshan's smug expression, Wu Shuanzhu couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "Oh, so where are the experts?"

"Hey, we're not there yet! Let's sit down and wait a bit! I've found you a good spot!"

Seeing Hongshan bustling around, Liang Jingsong couldn't help but cough, interrupting him: "Alright, stop busying yourself, the expert is right here!"

Upon hearing this, Hongshan was stunned: "Huh? Lao Liang, you don't mean to say that the old commander is an expert, do you?"

Liang Jinsong cleared his throat and gently patted Wu Zu on the shoulder:

"This is the expert you've all been waiting for, Wu Zu!"

As soon as he said this, Hongshan and everyone around him widened their eyes.

"What? A little kid?"

"Really? How can a child be an expert?"

"Sir, are you mistaken? He looks only seven or eight years old, how could he possibly be an expert!"

Wu Shuanzhu was very unhappy in the face of everyone's doubts.

"What? You look down on my grandson?"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze to Liang Jingsong.

Liang Jinsong laughed heartily: "That's right, this is Wu Zu, the designer of the Type 99A main battle tank, and also the grandson of the old commander. Today, he will be explaining the technology to everyone!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present gasped in shock.

A little kid is actually the designer of the Type 99A main battle tank?

That's unbelievable! He's not even as tall as a tank wheel!

Wu Zu, however, was not intimidated at all. He cleared his throat and waved to the crowd:

"That's right, I'm the designer of the Type 99A main battle tank. Today, we'll mainly talk about this tank's automatic loading system, cannon, and digital fire control system!"
