Chapter 309 Type 99 is ready for service! Next Step
Both its appearance and connotation are extraordinary. Even among the world's top teams, it would be a standout.
General Lin was the first to come to his senses. He took two steps at a time and walked forward. He reached out and touched the cold and hard armor. He was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes: "Xiao Li, you really made a contribution this time! Just for this big guy, your life is worth it!"
"What's it worth? There's still a lot to come!" Li Yang smiled modestly, as if he had anticipated this result.
"Next, please move to the shooting range to witness the Type 99 tank's debut!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone followed Li Yang to the tank shooting range, ready to have a look.
On the shooting range, dozens of steel plate targets and sandbag targets were lined up in a row, with several obsolete old tanks parked next to them, all painted red and blue, representing the enemy and our side respectively.
In a corner of the shooting range, stood a brand new Type 99 tank, shining brightly in the sun, with its gun barrel pointing straight forward, like a tiger ready to attack.
"Bang!" With an order, the Type 99 tank started up with a bang, and the tracks sped away, rushing out at an unimaginable speed!
"Oh my God, isn't this too fast? Are you sure this is a tank and not an armored vehicle?" someone exclaimed.
Before everyone could react, there was a loud "boom" and the Type 99 tank fired two shots in quick succession, then quickly turned around and rushed backwards to the flank!
"Oh no! There are anti-tank rockets on the other side!" At this moment, Li Yang shouted while directing. At the other end of the shooting range, six or seven rockets flew at once at an incredible speed and headed straight for the rear of the tank!
Everyone exclaimed and subconsciously worried about it.
However, a jaw-dropping scene appeared - two dazzling flames suddenly spurted out from one side of the tank, shooting straight into the air and colliding head-on with the incoming rocket!
"Boom!" With a few loud noises, all the rockets were detonated, turning into countless fragments that scattered across the sky?1?8 But the tank itself was safe and sound, and continued to move forward as steady as a rock!
"Ah?! This... is this the so-called active defense system?" Someone muttered the question in everyone's mind, "It actually intercepted the missile?"
Amidst the sighs, the Type 99 tank suddenly accelerated, made a sharp turn, and calmly dodged several anti-tank shells.
At the same time, its gun barrel spun rapidly, accurately hitting two sandbag targets, and then with a flick of its tail, it blasted a simulated enemy armored vehicle into a sieve at a distance of 3000 meters!
"No, it's incredible! The accuracy and range are simply amazing!" A military expert stammered, his eyes full of disbelief.
Li Yang next to him seemed very calm. Amid the exclamations, he slowly said, "This active defense system has a detection range of 5000 meters and an interception success rate of up to 95%. It can deal with multiple targets at the same time."
"As for the 125 smoothbore gun, its maximum effective range is 5000 meters, and its penetration is 600 mm. Combined with the advanced fire control system, it can basically hit the target every time."
Just as he finished speaking, the Type 99 tank fired another shot. An armor-piercing shell actually pierced through the old tank 2000 meters away. The turret flew more than ten meters away and smashed into pieces on the ground!
Is this still a tank? It's clearly a mobile fortress!
The shooting range was devastated, smoke billowed, and there were traces of Type 99 tanks wreaking havoc everywhere.
Four or five old tanks were lying here and there, in a state of disrepair; all the steel targets were blown to pieces;
The open space was full of craters, broken sandbags, and flying dirt and rocks, as if it had been the site of a small war.
The culprit, the Type 99 tank, was intact and stood calmly among the ruins, as if everything was in its pocket.
Everyone was stunned and excited. How could they have imagined that a new model that had never been seen before could burst out with such terrifying combat power?
If such tanks were to go to the battlefield, who would be able to stop them? I'm afraid that three or five of them would be enough to wipe out an armored battalion, right?
General Lin was so happy that he smiled and danced with excitement.
"Xiao Li, the Type 99 tank is truly an epoch-making masterpiece! It will redefine the way the army fights and become our army's trump card that makes it invincible!"
"In a small sense, it is comparable to the most advanced M1A2 and T-90 of the two countries; in a big sense, it is a perfect interpretation of the third-generation tank and a milestone in the history of world tank development!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present nodded in agreement and sincerely admired Li Yang, the young and promising military genius.
Amid the applause and cheers, Li Yang smiled and walked towards General Lin.
"Report to the commander, the Type 99 tank is now ready for deployment!"
General Lin's eyes sparkled with excitement and he nodded repeatedly.
Patting Li Yang on the shoulder, he said approvingly: "Little Li, I didn't expect that you could come up with such a big thing in just a few months! This is a milestone in the replacement of our military equipment!"
Li Yang smiled modestly and said, "General, you are too kind. In fact, this is the result of standing on the shoulders of our predecessors. Without the great help of all the experts, there would be no Type 99."
General Lin laughed and said, "Xiao Li, you are too modest! This is mainly due to you. By the way, do you have any new research directions next?"
Hearing this question, Li Yang's eyes lit up. He looked around at everyone present and said slowly, "Next, I want to conduct research on nuclear energy. I wonder if the general can provide me with some information related to nuclear physics?"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the meeting hall.
Everyone looked at each other, speechless for a moment.
You have to know that in this era, nuclear weapons were just getting started and related information was absolutely confidential.
Li Yang actually wants to study nuclear energy. Isn't this just a foolish dream?
Seeing everyone talking about it, Li Yang smiled and explained: "Don't worry, I don't need the core information of nuclear weapons. I just want to understand the basic principles and technology of nuclear power generation to prepare for future research."
General Lin heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this.
I asked in confusion: "Xiao Li, why are you suddenly interested in nuclear power? We don't even have a decent nuclear reactor now. Isn't it too hasty to build a nuclear power plant?"
Li Yang shook his head and said seriously: "General, you should know that the biggest bottleneck restricting our country's economic take-off is energy shortage. Fossil fuels such as coal and oil will run out one day. Only by mastering advanced nuclear energy technology can we fundamentally solve the electricity problem."
After a pause, he continued, "Besides, nuclear power plants have a long construction period and large investments, so they need to be planned in advance. It is the right time for us to start research now and lay the foundation for future industrialization."
After listening to Li Yang's analysis, General Lin nodded thoughtfully.
After a moment's silence, he said, "Xiao Li has a long-term vision. This is a good idea, and the military will strongly support it."
He turned around and told his adjutant: "Go to the Technical Intelligence Department and deliver all the basic data on nuclear physics to Engineer Li. If it is top secret and needs to be approved level by level, we must speed up the process."
The adjutant stood at attention, agreed, turned around and hurried away.
General Lin also reminded Li Yang: "Xiao Li, building a nuclear power plant is important, but you can't just work hard. The research and development of weapons and equipment, new materials and new processes are all counting on you. These can't be delayed."
Li Yang nodded respectfully and said, "General, rest assured, I will take everything into consideration and arrange my time appropriately. Nuclear power is only my long-term goal, and I have to continue to do what I need to do now."
General Lin smiled with satisfaction. He walked up to Li Yang, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Good job! Young people need this kind of courage. Just go ahead and do it. If you need anything, just let us know. The military will support you!"
After seeing off General Lin and his party, Li Yang returned to his laboratory.
He sat down on the chair, his chin supported by his hands, and his eyes gradually became profound.
In fact, Li Yang's obsession with nuclear power plants is not a whim.
As a time traveler, he understands better than anyone else here the importance of energy to development.
You know, before Li Yang traveled through time, fossil fuels such as oil and coal were becoming increasingly depleted, and the energy crisis had become a global problem.
Countries around the world are stepping up efforts to develop new energy sources, among which nuclear energy has the greatest potential.
In contrast, in the current New Yan country, economic construction has just started, and electricity is in short supply, and even factories working in three shifts cannot supply electricity.
Rural areas are often in darkness all year round, and the level of productivity is alarmingly low.
If this continues, the country's industrialization process will be hindered and people's quality of life will be difficult to improve.
Only by mastering nuclear power technology as soon as possible and building a number of large-scale nuclear power plants can this situation be fundamentally reversed.
Of course, Li Yang also knows that the construction of a nuclear power plant is long, requires large investments, and is technically difficult, and it is by no means something that can be accomplished overnight.
But he firmly believes that as long as he is determined and works hard, he will be able to achieve something in this field within a few years.
What's more, Li Yang also has the magical cheating device called Golden Finger.
With the support of the system, wouldn't it be easy for him to handle nuclear power?
Thinking of this, Li Yang couldn't help but raise a confident smile.
I stood up and began to pace back and forth in the laboratory, my thoughts gradually drifting away.
……
In the afternoon, a stack of nuclear physics materials was delivered to Li Yang.
He couldn't wait to open the densely packed text and formulas, absorbing knowledge eagerly.
[Congratulations to the host for unlocking the Nuclear Physics Engineer skill!]
In my mind, the prompt sound of the Golden Finger System suddenly rang.
Li Yang was delighted and quickened his reading speed.
His eyes became brighter and his thoughts became clearer, as if he had opened a door to a new world.
Soon, with further study of the materials, Li Yang's skill level rose steadily.
[The host has been promoted to an intermediate nuclear physics engineer, unlocking key technologies such as uranium enrichment and plutonium preparation!]
[The host has mastered various nuclear power reactor types such as pressurized water reactors and sodium-cooled fast reactors, and the power generation efficiency has increased by 20%!]
[The host has understood the technical roadmap of the fusion reactor, and is one step closer to fusion power generation!]
A series of system prompts pushed Li Yang's cognition to a whole new level.
