Chapter 7
is no exaggeration! Come and take a look!
Feng An was filled with unease. If he sent this thing to the military museum, the leaders of the military district would definitely give him a severe scolding.
"If I had known the tanks would be modified like this, I would have kept Lao Hong no matter what."
As Feng An muttered to himself, he took out his glasses, wiped them on his clothes a few times, and then leaned closer to examine them carefully.
The tank in front of us, with its sharp lines and distinct angles, is visually striking.
Feng An was no stranger to the Type 80 tank, but compared to the one in front of him, the Type 80 tank seemed to lack some of its imposing and domineering presence.
Especially the thick and massive cannon barrel, which gives people a strong sense of violent aesthetics.
"Now that's a real tank! Can I go inside for a look?"
Feng An asked with an expectant look.
After hearing this, Sun Canghai hesitated for a moment, then turned and shouted loudly inside:
"Azu, can people go inside and visit this tank?"
A moment later, Wu Zu ran out of the workshop and replied crisply, "Yes!"
Looking at Wu Zu's small figure, Feng An couldn't help but be taken aback.
I was really puzzled. Why do I have to ask a child about something as simple as visiting a tank?
He subconsciously turned his head to look towards the workshop and asked, "Did your dad modify this tank?"
Wu Zu picked his nose and said nonchalantly, "My dad hasn't been home for years. I modified this tank!"
"What?"
Feng An's eyes widened in disbelief. "You're kidding me! This is a tank! You…"
Before he could finish speaking, Sun Canghai reached out and grabbed his arm, saying:
"He definitely made the changes!"
Feng An was stunned. He stared at Wu Zu, looking him up and down for a long time, but still couldn't believe it.
How old are you this year?
Feng An asked with some skepticism.
Nine years old!
"Huh? Nine years old... modifying tanks at nine years old?"
Feng An was so surprised he couldn't close his mouth.
Seeing Feng An's shocked expression, Sun Canghai chuckled inwardly. To be honest, his reaction was similar to Feng An's when he first heard the news.
If the story of a nine-year-old modifying a tank got out, probably very few people in the whole country would believe it.
But the facts are clear in front of us, and Wu Zu knows all the technologies inside the tank like the back of his hand.
Feng An hesitated for a moment, then cautiously asked:
"Um...can I really go in for a visit?"
Wu Zu nodded and instructed, "Okay, but don't press anything inside randomly."
"Okay."
Feng An pondered that the tank's exterior design alone was already quite outstanding, and perhaps the Type 80 tank could draw some inspiration from it.
As for the tank's interior, it is estimated that it still retains the original structure of the M26 tank, since that is where the real core technology is located.
Thinking this, Feng An rolled up his sleeves, nimbly climbed onto the tank, and then laboriously lifted the heavy cover above and crawled inside.
Immediately afterwards, his surprised shout came from inside the tank.
"My God, what on earth is in here?"
Sun Canghai stood outside and could imagine Feng An's shocked expression just by listening to the sound.
After a while, Feng An poked half his head out of the tank and looked at Wu Zu.
"There are so many buttons in here, it's much more complicated than a Type 80 tank. What are they all for?"
"Oh, it contains autonomous protection systems, automatic loading systems, laser guidance systems, and radar systems, so of course there are a lot of buttons."
"Hiss~"
Feng An couldn't help but gasp again. Apart from the radar system, he had never heard of any of the other systems and technologies Wu Zu mentioned.
From this perspective, the Type 80 tank seems to have no technological advantages whatsoever compared to the tank in front of us; it's all disadvantages.
Thinking of this, Feng An involuntarily swallowed and then turned his gaze to Sun Canghai.
Is everything he said true?
Sun Canghai shook his head helplessly: "That's why I called the military region and asked them to send a technician over. Alas, what a pity..."
Feng An then understood why Sun Canghai had asked him that question when he first met him. Without saying a word, he immediately crawled out of the tank.
"I'll call the military district right now!"
Wu Zu pointed to the workshop next door and said:
"There's a phone inside."
Feng An nodded, strode into the workshop, picked up the phone, and dialed a number.
While waiting for the call to be transferred, he couldn't help but glance at the Type 99A main battle tank outside again.
It's important to understand that the newly developed Type 80 tank is currently a highly sought-after treasure by various military regions. However, the tank in front of us possesses advanced technologies that far surpass those of the Type 80.
If this news gets out, the major military regions will probably fight tooth and nail over it.
He turned his gaze away, walked to the telephone, and dialed the number for the Gupeng Military Sub-district.
"Hello, this is Feng An from the Military Museum. Could you please transfer me to Commander Liang? I have something very important to discuss with him personally. Please transfer the call to his office. Thank you!"
After a long while, the call was finally connected.
"Commander Liang, I have some incredibly exciting news to tell you!"
……
In the headquarters office of the Gupeng Military Sub-district.
Liang Jinsong felt somewhat helpless when he heard Feng An's excited voice, which was distorted in tone, on the phone.
"Then just transport the tank back to the military museum. It's just an old tank anyway, not very useful. Even if you modify it to look nice, it's still an old tank. We have Type 80 tanks now."
"No, no, no!"
On the other end of the phone, Feng An hurriedly said, "This tank isn't worthless; its value is beyond imagination! I just went inside for a visit, and this tank is even more advanced than the Type 80 tank!"
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Liang Jinsong immediately became displeased. "Are you kidding me? The Type 80 tank is currently the most advanced tank in our country. You're saying a modified M26 tank is more advanced than the Type 80? Don't exaggerate!"
"Commander Liang, it's true! This tank is equipped with... uh, it's equipped with a digital fire control system, an automatic loading system, night vision devices, and radar systems..."
Before Feng An could finish speaking, Liang Jingsong was completely dumbfounded.
"Wait, what's this digital fire control system you just mentioned? And what about laser guidance? Isn't that used on missiles? You're saying tanks have those too?"
"That's right, Commander Liang, I think... you'd better come over in person and see for yourself!"
Liang Jinsong glanced at the time, hesitated for a moment, but finally said:
"Don't try to fool me."
"Commander Liang, how could I dare lie to you about something like this! I'm right here in front of this tank, and I just went inside for a closer look. It really is incredibly advanced!"
"Okay, I got it!"
Liang Jinsong hung up the phone, but his heart remained unsettled for a long time.
Feng An actually said that this tank is more advanced than the Type 80 tank. Isn't that a joke?!
You have to understand that the Type 80 tank is the pinnacle of China's tank technology. How could it be inferior to a tank that was modified from the US?
But what shocked him even more were the systems that Feng An had just mentioned.
If this tank really has these things, it would be an absolute treasure!
Thinking of this, Liang Jingsong immediately stood up and shouted to the guard outside the door:
"Get the car ready, I'm going to Shunping County!"
