: All the technology completed in one month?

Zhou Liejin led the group to a factory in the Armaments Department.

When everyone's eyes fell on the Type 99A main battle tank, which was quietly parked in the center of the factory, they were all stunned by its imposing appearance.

"This...this really is that tank?"

"My God, this tank looks like it's from the future!"

"Look at those lines, that shape, it's so exaggerated, it's absolutely powerful and imposing!"

"..."

Seeing the shocked expressions on everyone's faces, Zhou Liejin's lips curled up slightly.

"What do you all think of the suggestion I just made?"

However, no sooner had he finished speaking than the crowd still expressed their opposition.

"No matter how beautiful the design is, it's just an outer shell; the real substance lies in the internal technology of the Type 80 tank!"

"What good is looking good? True skill and the value of technique lie in being able to kill enemies on the battlefield!"

"This tank might just be an empty shell. If we fill it with technology, it will cost a lot of research and development funds."

"..."

Hearing everyone say that, Zhou Liejin couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Who said this is just an empty shell? This is a real weapon of mass destruction that can run, move, and fire—the main battle tank of our Dragon Nation's future!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but gasp, their eyes widening as they stared intently at the enormous tank before them.

"Old Zhou, don't joke about this. You're saying this tank can run and fire?"

"That's not right. You just mentioned a lot of new technologies, some of which I didn't quite understand, but several of them are technologies that only the US has! When did our China have these technologies?"

"Yeah, did you manage to bring back the American tanks?"

"..."

Zhou Liejin reached out and gently patted the thick tank cannon barrel.

"Who said this is American technology? This was developed by our own China!"

"Come on, let me show you around first, and then we can discuss it further."

Zhou Liejin knew in his heart that seeing is believing, and if he didn't let everyone see the internal structure, he would never be able to convince these people from the Ministry of the Army.

Only by letting them personally witness and experience the various cutting-edge technologies inside will they seriously discuss with me the matter of ceasing production of the Type 80 tank.

Amidst the suspicious gazes of the crowd, Zhou Liejin opened the inspection port at the rear of the tank.

When they saw the various advanced devices inside, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

"This is a digital fire control system, and this is the display screen. With this device, we can quickly lock onto the enemy..."

"This is an automatic loading system. From now on, we won't have to manually carry heavy shells and stuff them into the gun barrel anymore. Just press a button, and the shells will be automatically loaded into the gun barrel..."

"And then there's this thermal imaging display technology. Just turn on this button, and even in the darkest night, you can clearly see enemies several kilometers away and lock onto them directly through the digital fire control system..."

"..."

Zhou Liejin introduced these technologies to everyone while personally demonstrating them.

When the digital fire control system was activated, the gun barrel was able to automatically aim and lock onto a distant target after the button was pressed.

Then I saw the automatic loading system. With just the touch of a button, the shells are automatically fed into the breech, requiring no manual handling at all.

When the thermal imaging showed several red figures clearly visible outside the window, everyone was completely impressed by the technology.

"My goodness, this is amazing! You don't even see this kind of technology on the latest tanks from the US!"

"This is incredible! Who created these technologies?"

Seeing the surprised looks on everyone's faces, Zhou Liejin shouted into the distance.

"Ah Zu, stop hiding, come here!"

Wu Zu emerged from behind a tank in the distance, and everyone was surprised to see that he was a child.

"What's going on? Why is it a child?"

"Old Zhou, you're not trying to say that this kid built this tank, are you?"

"This is no joke! This kid looks only seven or eight years old, how could he possibly build a tank!"

"That's right. The Type 80 tank alone required hundreds of technical personnel, and this tank is even more advanced than the Type 80."

"..."

Zhou Liejin smiled, pulled Wu Zu over, and introduced him to everyone.

"Let me formally introduce you to this young man, Wu Zu. He built this Type 99A main battle tank!"

These words immediately caused an uproar at the scene.

No one could believe that a nine-year-old child could build such an advanced tank.

Am I dreaming?

Zhou Liejin had anticipated this reaction and then said...

"I had the same reaction as you at first, but it really was built by him. Now let Azu explain the technology of this tank in detail."

Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, Wu Zu began to introduce the advanced technologies used in the Type 99A main battle tank.

Each time a technology was introduced, a gasp of amazement rang out from the audience.

After he finished explaining, the room became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Zhou Liejin smiled slightly.

"Now, can we talk about the discontinuation of the Type 80 tank?"

However, this matter is of great importance, and there are both those who oppose it and those who support it.

"I believe that the technology of the Type 99A main battle tank has far surpassed that of the Type 80 tank. Continuing to produce the Type 80 tank will only hinder the progress of our country's tank manufacturing capabilities."

"However, a large amount of resources have already been invested in the Type 80 tank; stopping production now would be a huge loss!"

"That's right, and the Type 99A main battle tank hasn't even undergone mass production testing yet. What if there are problems?"

"..."

Not long after the scene quieted down, someone else offered their opinion.

"A-Zu just said that many technologies of this Type 99A main battle tank are still in the semi-finished stage. If it's all perfected and manufactured, when will that be? We urgently need to upgrade our tanks!"

Just then, Wu Zu suddenly spoke up.

"I can build a complete Type 99A main battle tank in a month at most!"

Zhou Liejin could hardly believe his eyes. His eyes widened as he stared blankly at Wu Zu, his gaze filled with disbelief.

Has this little guy lost his mind?

They actually boasted that they would complete all the technical aspects of the entire tank within a month?

Does he even realize what his words mean?

According to Wu Zugang's explanation, this Type 99A main battle tank involves more than a dozen new technologies.

However, to date, the tank is only about 70% complete, and most of its new technologies are concentrated in the electronics field.
