Eunuch, do you really know these martial arts?

Since Dong Dadong and the others were not there, the completed fourth-generation tank prototype was stored in a huge warehouse. Apart from the guards at the entrance, the warehouse was empty.

Upon entering the warehouse, Jiang Nian immediately spotted the steel behemoth.

Unlike third-generation main battle tanks, this fourth-generation main battle tank adopts a two-person crew design.

The vehicle features a three-compartment structure: the front is the crew compartment, the middle is the weapons compartment, and the rear is the power compartment. The three compartments are completely separated from each other.

Seeing that Jiang Nian's gaze was completely drawn to the tank in front of him, Yang Hongkang smiled.

The fact that the fourth-generation main battle tank has been developed to this extent represents a qualitative leap compared to the third-generation main battle tank.

"Brother Yang, I'd like to examine this big guy up close."

Jiang Nian was already getting restless and eager to try.

You can't tell what's inside a tank just by looking at it. Jiang Nian wanted to see what its internal structure was like.

"Okay, then you can go check it out. But if you find any problems, you'll be responsible for fixing them and writing me a detailed report afterwards."

Although he had complete confidence in Jiang Nian's repair skills, Yang Hongkang still had to say something beforehand.

"Of course, I guarantee the mission will be accomplished!"

Jiang Nian calmly agreed, and without waiting for Yang Hongkang to say anything more, she nimbly climbed up the ladder into the crew cabin.

The entire crew cabin is not large, but it has all the necessary equipment.

On the left is the driver's seat, equipped with a steering wheel that integrates various control buttons and resembles a racing car steering wheel. On the right is an operating handle, similar in appearance to a fire control system handle or gun control system lever, used to control the vehicle's firepower, including the main gun, remote weapon station, and defense systems; this is the commander's seat.

The entire system is laid out according to the principle of "mobility on the left and firepower on the right," requiring close cooperation between two members to complete the combat mission.

After marveling at the ingenious layout of the crew compartment, Jiang Nian sped up the inspection process, immediately activating a 360-degree all-around scanning mode to begin a comprehensive inspection of the tank.

Yang Hongkang stood by, watching, his heart pounding. Jiang Nian's movements were so fast that he could barely see what Jiang Nian was doing. He stroked his chin, pondering seriously: Could this speed really allow for a comprehensive inspection of the tank?

Although he trusted Jiang Nian's abilities, Yang Hongkang still felt that this scene was somewhat unreal.

This is like watching a sci-fi action movie!

Otherwise, who could be that fast?

However, he is now full of anticipation, wondering what insights Jiang Nian will offer after completing all the tests.
Jiang Nian was completely unaware of Yang Hongkang's expectations.

At this moment, he was already waiting for the system to give him the reward for completing the task.

"System, system, I've completed my mission. Shouldn't you give me the reward now?"

Jiang Nian called out to the system very seriously.

There's no way around it, this system is the real "boss" now. It's only proactive when it's issuing tasks, otherwise it's completely unresponsive.

Jiang Nian thought to himself that if he didn't actively ask the system for the reward, it would probably find a way to get rid of it.

Jiang Nian said he would never be foolish enough to accept working for free without getting any benefits!

"Dear host, congratulations on successfully completing the mission and receiving the corresponding reward!"

The system's voice finally sounded after Jiang Nian had been calling for a while. It only said this short sentence, and then... there was no further response.

"Hey, I'm telling you, now that I've received the reward, you should at least give me back the reward!"

Jiang Nian's urge to drag the system out and beat it up resurfaced once again.

He would be overjoyed if this idea could actually come true.

"The reward for this mission is: a set of blueprints for a fourth-generation main battle tank. Please receive it within ten minutes!" The system's voice was unusually emotional this time, adding in a less-than-friendly tone, "Host, the system can sense any thought you have. Want to beat me up? That's impossible!"

After saying this, the system fell silent once again.

Jiang Nian's lips twitched slightly, and several black lines immediately appeared on his forehead. He really had no way to deal with this system.

Fortunately, the system was reliable this time.

In less than ten minutes, a not-too-large blueprint appeared in Jiang Nian's mind.

These are actually design drawings for a fourth-generation main battle tank!
After carefully reviewing the design provided by the system, Jiang Nian quickly discovered a crucial problem.

Zeng Maozhe had previously mentioned that Yang Hongkang and his team's research and development work was at a bottleneck stage. Because of this, Jiang Nian paid extra attention when he was testing the tank.

However, the exact root cause of the problem has not yet been found.

Now he finally understood that the bottleneck Yang Hongkang and his team encountered actually lay in the turret design.

In the current turret design, the observation and aiming equipment on the right side occupies the space of the turret's main armor. However, this unmanned turret design leaves enough space to add armor behind the observation and aiming equipment to protect the artillery system.

However, relatively speaking, this design is still not perfect in some details.

Some technologies related to unmanned turrets are still in the research and development stage and are difficult to perfectly match the overall requirements of fourth-generation main battle tanks.

The most critical issue is that the fourth-generation main battle tank is designed for two-person operation, which requires the automation technology to be 100% compatible and without any errors.

Yang Hongkang and his team are currently stuck on this problem, which has caused their research and development progress to stagnate.

Time is the most precious thing to them, but now they have spent a lot of time without achieving the expected results. This lack of progress has made Yang Hongkang feel that he has recently gotten a lot more gray hair. Yang Hongkang watched Jiang Nian do the test, watching him busy himself, and finally saw him finish the test, but he just stood there without any hurry to get down.

Jiang Nian wasn't in a hurry, but Yang Hongkang was already extremely anxious.

How could this be allowed? So, Yang Hongkang finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"Jiang Nian, have you finished your tests?"

He took the initiative to ask, but what he really wanted to know was what problems Jiang Nian had found after the test. He wanted to know if it could be resolved, at least to give him some idea of ​​the situation.

"Brother Yang, don't worry, all the tests are done, I'm coming down now!"

Hearing Yang Hongkang's words, Jiang Nian finally came to his senses. He had been so engrossed in thinking about the design drawings that he had completely forgotten that Yang Hongkang was still waiting for him.

He jumped down nimbly and found that Yang Hongkang's eyes were filled with an indescribable excitement as he looked at him.

"Brother Yang, don't look at me like that, it's scary!"

Jiang Nian couldn't help but shiver, and said jokingly. He could tell that Yang Hongkang seemed a little too nervous.

"Okay, okay, I won't look anymore. Have you really thoroughly inspected the entire tank?"

Although he had been watching Jiang Nian's movements closely, Jiang Nian was so fast that Yang Hongkang didn't actually understand many of the steps. It would have taken Dong Dadong and his four colleagues at least half a day to inspect the tank, but Jiang Nian only took an hour. So when Yang Hongkang asked this question, he was a little unsure of himself.

Jiang Nian nodded seriously, "Yes, all the tests are complete. This fourth-generation main battle tank, even if it's not fully developed yet, is already impressive enough!"

He wasn't joking; the automation technology alone is enough to shake the world.

Hearing Jiang Nian's praise, Yang Hongkang smiled, and the worry that had been weighing on his mind was finally relieved. He figured Jiang Nian probably didn't have many objections.
Yang Hongkang felt relieved, but for some reason, he still felt a little disappointed. Was Jiang Nian's ability really that limited?
"After you finished inspecting this fourth-generation tank, do you have any other thoughts? As you know, it's quite different from the previous third-generation tanks. We're currently at a bottleneck and urgently need valuable suggestions from young people like you!"

Yang Hongkang decided to get straight to the point and make his point clear. Otherwise, he was afraid that if Jiang Nian continued to praise him, he wouldn't know what to say.

At least find some problems, right?
Jiang Nian scratched the back of his head, glanced at Yang Hongkang, and suddenly laughed, "Brother Yang, I think we can increase the number of optical equipment windows on the front of the turret. Also, we can add another set of the artillery's sighting and panoramic sighting equipment, making it two sets." Jiang Nian spoke in a very calm tone, giving Yang Hongkang no time to react. Yang Hongkang was stunned on the spot after hearing this.

"Brother Yang? Brother Yang?"

Seeing Yang Hongkang staring blankly ahead, Jiang Nian waved her hand in front of his eyes. When he still didn't react, she became a little anxious. Could she have made him stupid just because of her two sentences?

"System, tell me, if someone is suddenly startled and confused, how do we wake them up?"

Left with no other option, Jiang Nian had to ask the system. After all, the system is omnipotent; it should be able to handle this little thing, right?

Just as Jiang Nian was waiting for the system's reply, Yang Hongkang suddenly made a move.

He rushed to the table next to him, picked up a pen, and started drawing rapidly on the paper.

Jiang Nian slowly walked over and saw that Yang Hongkang was drawing a simplified diagram of the fourth-generation tank on the paper, and he was adding the suggestions he had just made.

Jiang Nian shook his head. He had heard that some people, once they get into their work, will devote themselves to it wholeheartedly. Once they have a new idea, they will not care about anything around them and will only have their own ideas in their eyes.

Unexpectedly, Yang Hongkang really is such a workaholic.

However, Jiang Nian could understand his attitude, so she didn't disturb him and just sat quietly to the side and waited.

In fact, Jiang Nian had many more ideas to share, and he even had the final, perfect design of the fourth-generation main battle tank in his mind. However, Yang Hongkang didn't give him a chance to continue and instead fell into deep thought.

Jiang Nian waited for most of the day.

He and Yang Hongkang came in at a little past nine in the morning, but it was already dark outside. He checked the time and it was already past eight in the evening.

Yang Hongkang finally put down his pen, picked up the drawings he had just finished, and was about to find someone to start the work.

"Brother Yang, you're finally done with your work!"

Seeing that Yang Hongkang was ignoring him and about to leave, Jiang Nian quickly called out to him. He now seriously suspected that Yang Hongkang had completely forgotten that there was someone like him in the warehouse.

"Oh? Jiang Nian, I'm sorry, I got so busy just now that I forgot about you. By the way, take a look, this is a new drawing I made after incorporating your ideas, but I still need to show it to everyone before we decide how to modify it."

Yang Hongkang slapped his forehead. He had forgotten everything when he got busy. If Jiang Nian hadn't spoken up, he wouldn't have remembered that the idea that suddenly popped into his head was originally proposed by Jiang Nian.

He handed the blueprints to Jiang Nian, his face full of anticipation. A true expert's skill is immediately apparent. Jiang Nian's casual suggestion had solved a major problem; he practically wanted Jiang Nian to say a few more words.

"Brother Yang, it's like this, I've done some research on unmanned turrets before, and I happen to have some insights that I can share with you. But it's getting late, so I'll organize my thoughts when I get back tonight, and then you can take a look and see if there's anything I can use."

Jiang Nian glanced at the simplified design drawing that Yang Hongkang had redrawn and couldn't help but admire the other's ability. Unlike him, who relied on the system to "cheat," Yang Hongkang's skills were genuine. With just one sentence from him, Yang Hongkang could apply what he learned to other situations, and the drawing he produced was almost identical to the final version.

What's lacking now is simply that some technologies haven't been mastered yet. Once these technical problems are solved, the fourth-generation main battle tank can be truly developed successfully.

"Alright, alright, alright! Jiang Nian, I'll trouble you to stay up all night and write down your ideas. If the fourth-generation tank can be successfully developed this time, you'll definitely be highly commended!"

Yang Hongkang was so happy that the wrinkles on his face turned into a flower when he smiled.

If time allowed, he would love to see Jiang Nian's thoughts written down right now.

In one night, Jiang Nian wrote down in detail the key technologies of unmanned turrets, including photoelectric sensing, video aiming and tracking, and high-mobility target firing correction control, without holding anything back.

These are the core technologies that unmanned turrets currently lack the most.

As for the others, they are just minor issues. Once the major technical aspects are resolved, the others will be no problem.

That night, Jiang Nian busied himself breaking down and writing down the specific techniques, while Yang Hongkang tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. (End of Chapter)
