: Why do you care about the billions of changes made?

Faced with two strong, adult men, no matter how clever Wu Zu was, his body was only that of a nine-year-old, and how could his short legs possibly outrun them?

"Stop chasing me, I give in, can you please go easy on me?"

Wu Zu pleaded pitifully, which calmed the old man's anger considerably.

The old man waved his fan helplessly and said, "Alright, alright, let's go inside and talk."

Sun Canghai looked at Wu Zu and thought to himself that this little guy must have caused a lot of trouble.

The group arrived in the living room and exchanged polite greetings.

Sun Canghai showed exceptional respect to this former leader.

"Old sir, since this is just a misunderstanding, let's leave it at that. I'll report to my superiors and send the tank to headquarters. You won't need to trouble yourself with anything else!"

"Hey, stop calling me 'commander' all the time. I've been out of the military for years."

Wu Shuanzhu leaned back in his chair and looked at everyone.

"I'll leave the tank to you. I originally planned to donate it to a museum and find a place to hide it, but I'm getting old and I completely forgot about it."

Sun Canghai quickly replied, "No trouble at all, not at all, old commander. Was this tank one you captured back then?"

The old man sat in the middle of the sofa, picked up the old green canteen with its paint chipped and worn, took a sip of water, and seemed lost in memories of the past, his eyes glistening with tears.

"Back then, in order to defend Hill 1132, almost our entire company was wiped out. The culprit was that American tank..."

Wu Shuanzhu paused, took another sip of water, and tried to calm his grief.

Then, he turned his gaze to Wu Zu, his eyes revealing an urge to teach the kid a lesson: "You brat, what exactly did you do to my tank?"

Wu Zu shrank back a little, grinned dryly, and said, "I... I made just a tiny bit of a change~"

Wu Shuanzhu couldn't believe him and turned to look at Sun Canghai.

"By the way, you must have seen that M26 tank. Tell me quickly, where did that brat tamper with it? I'll see if it can still be sent to a museum."

But as soon as he finished speaking, Sun Canghai was stunned.

"Huh? Old sir, you just said that tank was the US's M26?"

"Yes, what? You don't recognize him?"

"Well... of course I recognize the M26 tank. It was the main battle tank of the US back in the day, and it was everywhere on the battlefield, but..."

"But what is it? Soldiers, stop beating around the bush! Just say what you have to say!"

Wu Shuanzhu served in the army his whole life and had a great dislike for people who were not straightforward in their speech.

Sun Canghai quickly nodded: "Old Chief, the tank in the yard is not an M26 at all."

Upon hearing this, Wu Shuanzhu seemed to freeze, slowly raising his head, frowning as he looked at Sun Canghai, a deep frown forming between his brows.

"Are you kidding me? I captured this tank myself, how could I mistake it? It's an M26 tank."

"Old Chief, it really isn't an M26," Wang Yue whispered from the side.

"I can testify that it was definitely not an M26. The tank in the yard used a 125mm smoothbore gun. I remember the M26 used a 90mm main gun."

"Huh?" Wu Shuanzhu looked bewildered, then turned his gaze to Wu Zu.

Seeing this, Wu Zu, who was stuffing snacks into his mouth, quickly said, "The cannon barrel has been modified..."

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in shock.

Goodness, they can even modify the cannon barrel! You have to understand that the cannon is one of the key core components of a tank, and modifying it can have far-reaching consequences.

Wu Shuanzhu frowned deeply: "What other changes did you make?"

Wu Zu looked around at the people around him, then got up, ran to his room, took out a blueprint, and slammed it on the table.

"Not much has been changed, that's all."

Everyone was stunned and crowded around to take a look.

Wu Shuanzhu was old and his eyesight was poor; he looked for a long time but couldn't figure it out.

Just as he was looking around for his reading glasses, Wu Qing obediently handed them to him.

Looking at the reading glasses handed to him by his granddaughter, Wu Shuanzhu smiled with satisfaction: "My dear granddaughter is so thoughtful!"

Then he put on his reading glasses, looked at the contents of the drawing, and was instantly stunned.

"Something's not right. The dimensions don't match up at all. And the shape of the turret has changed too. Also, why are there so many extra things inside? An automatic loading system, a digital fire control system, a laser rangefinder, a thermal imaging display..."

Wu Shuanzhu became increasingly shocked as he looked at the drawing, while Wang Yue pointed to some content at the bottom of the drawing and said...

"Old comrade, look, the engine model has changed too. The power output can reach 1500 horsepower, and the top speed can even reach 80 kilometers per hour, and it can exceed 60 kilometers per hour in off-road conditions..."

Sun Canghai couldn't help but exclaim, "No way! What does 1000mm of homogeneous armor protection mean? What are composite armor and modular reactive armor? And can this active protection system intercept enemy rockets?"

For a moment, gasps of amazement filled the room, and even the old lady cooking in the kitchen couldn't help but come out to look several times.

Sun Canghai and Wang Yue looked helplessly at Wu Zu.

Good grief, so this is what you mean by "not much modification"? This tank probably only has a few original wires left!

Wu Shuanzhu was so excited that he was sweating profusely, and he fanned himself rapidly with a palm-leaf fan.

"Is...is this all real?"

At this moment, Wu Zu was standing on a stool, reaching for the raisins on the cabinet. Upon hearing this, his hand froze in mid-air, and he was stunned for a moment.

"Well, the armor is not finished yet, and the active protection system is still a work in progress, but the rest is basically done."

Upon hearing this, Wu Shuanzhu could no longer sit still.

He jumped to his feet: "I have to go check on that tank!"

Not to mention Wu Shuanzhu, Sun Canghai and Wang Yue were also eager to take another look at the equipment inside the tank.

They had only glanced at it before and thought that Wu Zu had only modified the cannon barrel and appearance, but they did not expect that so many advanced technologies had been added inside.

The group immediately agreed, got up, went out, got into their car, and headed towards the old factory area.

Upon arriving at the sealed-off old factory area, the old man excitedly pushed open the car door and rushed straight in.

When he saw the massive steel machine parked in the yard, his body trembled violently, and his eyes were filled with shock.

"My God, it's been changed like this!"

He stepped forward and gently stroked the cold armor of the 99A main battle tank, his fingers trembling slightly.

"Help me upstairs, I want to see inside!"

Everyone hesitated a bit, after all, the old man was over eighty years old, and the space inside the tank was small. If he were to get bumped or knocked over, it would be a big problem.

Seeing everyone's hesitation, Wu Shuanzhu snorted, "I may be old, but I'm not at the point where I can't walk!"

Seeing that Wu Shuanzhu was about to lose his temper, Sun Canghai quickly shouted, "Quick, a few people come and help the commander up!"

With everyone's concerted efforts, Wu Shuanzhu got into the tank.

But when he looked at the sophisticated and complex equipment inside, he was completely dumbfounded.

Because he had never seen these advanced gadgets before, he had no idea how to operate them.

"Grandpa, come in and teach Grandpa how to use this tank!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Canghai and everyone present felt a chill run down their spines.

Does the old commander still want to drive a tank?

And to have a nine-year-old teach that is just outrageous...
