If you've heard of Chapter 9, how can it be called advanced technology?

Inside the Gupeng Military Sub-district, everyone surrounded the Type 99A main battle tank next to Liang Jingsong, their faces all showing shock.

After all, the Type 80 tank was only recently delivered, and no one is familiar with its internal structure yet, so the two tanks can only be compared based on their appearance.

Compared to the Type 99A main battle tank, the Type 80 tank suddenly seems less imposing.

It lacks the sharp lines of the Type 99A main battle tank, and its gun barrel is not rugged enough.

To be honest, if the Type 99A main battle tank wasn't present, the Type 80 tank would definitely be everyone's favorite.

Unfortunately, its timing was terrible; it encountered a formidable opponent and was immediately outshone. The Type 99A main battle tank successfully won over everyone.

Hongshan stood not far away, staring at the imposing and rugged Type 99A main battle tank with astonishment in his eyes.

He then pushed through the crowd, went to the tank, reached out and touched the tank's tracks, armor, and robust cannon, and asked Liang Jinsong in utter astonishment:

"Old Liang, what's going on? I was planning to surprise you, but you surprised me instead?"

Liang Jinsong grinned, patted the tank beside him, and without even glancing at the Type 80 tanks on the distant parade ground, said:

"What do you think? Isn't this tank cool?"

"That's so cool! I've never seen such an imposing tank before. Where did it come from?"

Kong Xiangming, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but laugh and said, "Actually, this tank was originally meant for you, but you were too busy to go, so this great opportunity fell to us!"

"Huh?" Hongshan was stunned. "When did this opportunity come about? How come I had no idea? If I had known there were such powerful tanks, I definitely wouldn't have gone to take over the Type 80 tank."

At this point, he suddenly remembered what happened that afternoon, and a look of shock flashed in his eyes. "You're not talking about that modified tank, are you?"

"That's right, it's this one!" Liang Jingsong patted the armor of the Type 99A main battle tank, his eyes filled with affection. "It's a modified version of the American M26 tank, it's called..."

"99a!" Kong Xiangming quickly added from the side.

"Yes, yes, it's the Type 99A main battle tank. Look at it, how's the modification?"

Hongshan nodded vigorously, walked around the tank once, and showed an expression of great affection for it.

"Not just good, it's absolutely amazing! But, could it still be those old parts from the M26 tank?"

"Haha!" Kong Xiangming and Liang Jingsong exchanged a glance and both laughed.

Kong Xiangming pointed to the Type 99A main battle tank and said to Hongshan, "If it still contained old parts from the M26 tank, do you think our commander would still have this expression?"

"Oh? They've changed the inside too? I'll have to take a good look!"

As Hongshan was speaking, he started climbing into the car, but Liang Jingsong quickly reminded him, "Be careful!"

"Don't worry, I'm in great health!"

"I'm not worried about your health, I'm afraid you'll damage the things inside. This tank is very precious!"

Hongshan was speechless, thinking to himself, "How could I possibly handle this big iron lump?"

Once inside the tank, Hongshan was instantly shocked.

Just like Sun Canghai and Liang Jinsong before him, he was stunned by the complex mechanical structure and dense array of buttons inside the tank.

"My God, what are all these things in there?"

Hearing Hongshan's question, the surrounding soldiers looked on expectantly, wishing they could immediately squeeze in and see for themselves.

Liang Jinsong had never heard of those advanced technologies before. Although Wu Zu had explained them to him, it was still a bit difficult for him to repeat them himself.

At this moment, Kong Xiangming, who was standing to the side, took out a small notebook and began to read aloud what was written inside:

"Oh, it has an automatic loading system, a digital fire control system, a thermal imaging display, a laser rangefinder..."

When Kong Xiangming rattled off more than a dozen techniques in one breath, everyone present was stunned.

"What? An automatic loading system? Does that mean we won't need to manually load shells anymore?"

"Wow, just hearing the name of this laser rangefinder sounds amazing, although I don't know exactly what it does."

"I've seen thermal imaging of this thing in magazines before. They say it can be seen clearly even at night. I didn't expect to see it here too?"

"..."

At this moment, Hongshan climbed out of the tank and looked at Liang Jingsong: "Wait, I've never heard of any of these things you just mentioned!"

Liang Jinsong said proudly, "Nonsense! If you'd heard of all of that, would it still be considered advanced technology?"

Hongshan nodded, rubbing his hands excitedly: "Then can I try it?"

He was interrupted by Liang Jinsong as soon as he spoke.

"Dream on! This tank is very valuable; we can't afford to damage it. A teacher will come tomorrow to demonstrate and explain it to us!"

With that, Liang Jingsong waved his hand: "Alright, alright, everyone disperse. Meet at the test site south of the military region at 10:00 AM tomorrow!"

Everyone reluctantly left, eager to witness the true power of the tank the next day.

As for the Type 80 tank on the playground, it had long been forgotten by everyone.

Upon returning to his office, Liang Jinsong immediately picked up the phone and called the Jiangnan Arsenal.

……

In the Jiangnan Arsenal, in the factory director's office, Lei Fu was overseeing the allocation and production progress of the Type 80 tanks.

"Ring ring..."

The phone on the table suddenly rang.

"I am Lei Fu, may I ask who you are?"

Lei Fu answered the phone.

A hearty laugh came from the other end of the phone: "Old Lei, still not resting?"

Upon hearing that it was Liang Jingsong, Lei Fu couldn't help but laugh and say, "What's up? Did you call specifically to thank me? Actually, you don't need to be so polite. Just treat me to a meal later. Are you satisfied with the Type 80 tank?"

However, Liang Jingsong chuckled on the phone, "I'll treat you to dinner? Don't be ridiculous, you'll have to treat me to a meal later!"

Lei Fu was taken aback when he heard this.

"Hey, Liang Jingsong, you're really something! I made the factory work overtime to build you a tank, and you, instead, expect me to treat you to dinner?"

"You have to treat me, I have a really good treasure for you!"

"Alright, stop talking nonsense. I'm busy right now. So, what's up?"

"Who's joking with you? I'm talking about serious business. You personally bring a few technicians over tomorrow to learn about advanced technology!"

Lei Fu frowned slightly and glanced at the microphone: "Old Wang, have you had too much to drink today?"

"I didn't drink a drop of alcohol today. Just come when I told you to, no more nonsense. It's 10 AM tomorrow, no exceptions. Bring a few more tank-building technicians with you, I'm reminding you!"

After saying that, Liang Jinsong hung up the phone.

Lei Fu was so angry he didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You, Liang Jingsong, you've come here to cause trouble while you're drunk!"

He shook his head speechlessly, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that Liang Jingsong didn't seem like the kind of person who would act crazy when drunk.

However, the factory is currently facing a tight production schedule, with various military regions specifically requesting Type 80 tanks. He simply cannot spare the manpower or time.

So he shouted outside, "Xiao Li, go to the workshop and see which technicians are free tomorrow. Arrange for two of them to visit the Gupeng Military Sub-district!"

"Yes!" the guard replied.
