Chapter 572 The Super Weapon Codenamed "Tank"! (First Update!)

Human courage is so utterly vulnerable in the face of this steel behemoth.

Everyone took a step back in unison, and couldn't help but gasp.

This thing is still a work in progress. Right now, it can only be operated using the mechanical devices inside the tank, and it already looks so scary.

Once the power system is installed, and the electricity provided by the tank's power system is used to control the turret and these devices, they can't even imagine how terrifying this thing would be.

Just then, a voice came from behind, "Turn the cannon barrel around!"

The voice was gentle yet stern, and it sounded very young. Everyone knew it was Lin Yi who had arrived.

One by one, they turned their heads and began to complain about Shen Weihua's cunning:

"President Lin, we told him we would let Engineer Shen Weihua in, but he went in anyway, and he even violated regulations by pointing the cannon barrel at people!"

"Deduct his bonus for this month!"

"Yes, yes, deduct his salary for this month too!"

Liu Nanqiao stood to the side, holding the blueprints, and said in a very low voice:

"There's nothing we can do, we can't persuade them. That's just how people from the Ordnance Equipment Group are, so impulsive and rash, they're nothing compared to people from our Ordnance Industry Group."

After subtly making a sarcastic remark, Liu Nanqiao watched Lin Yi walk towards the tank with a particularly happy smile.

Inside the tank, Shen Weihua belatedly climbed out and only then noticed Lin Yi standing outside the tank.

He quickly jumped off the tank armor, stood in front of Lin Yi, and then reported loudly:

"General Manager Lin, the No. 001 tank is progressing smoothly. The composite armor and turret installation have been completed. We can start installing the internal equipment and power system tomorrow. After the power system and internal equipment are installed, we can proceed with painting and the corresponding tests."

"Once the testing is complete, the tank can be loaded onto the vehicle and delivered to our customer."

Lin Yi looked up at the tank that had taken shape in front of him. More than a week had passed since he called Saler, and the progress seemed to be going well.

When the time comes, all three tanks can be reliably delivered.

If you hand it over, you'll get $3000 million.

perfect!

Lin Yi patted Shen Weihua on the shoulder and said softly, "Engineer Shen, the tank isn't finished yet, this isn't the time to play around."

"The relevant processes have not yet been tested, so we cannot guarantee that our processes are flawless."

"If a problem occurs during play, it would be a major safety incident."

"It will delay the progress!"

"If they want to play around, we'll deliver these tanks, then produce a few better ones ourselves, and they can play around with them however they want!"

"Of course!" Lin Yi raised his right hand and slapped his forehead, then turned around to look at the others present:

"Keep it within the factory grounds. Don't drive it outside, and don't even think about firing it!"

"Don't go looking for trouble!"

"Alright, it's getting late, everyone should go home and get some rest. We'll continue tomorrow morning!"

With Lin Yi's permission, those present exchanged glances with Shen Weihua and Liu Nanqiao, who nodded repeatedly, signaling them to leave quickly.

So, everyone present packed up their tools, put all the tool parts back in their original places, locked the tool cabinet, and left in an orderly manner.

After everyone else had left, Lin Yi turned to look at Shen Weihua and Liu Nanqiao:
"Shen Gong and Liu Gong, could you please explain how you conduct tank testing at your research institute?"

The two exchanged a glance, but Liu Nanqiao spoke first:
“We divide testing into static testing and dynamic testing.”

"Static testing involves going through each step of the process and checking every part of the tank that can be inspected."

"As for dynamic testing, that's even simpler."

"Drive it to the outdoor field, maintain a relatively low and constant speed, and keep driving at that speed."

"Run the prescribed distance, then switch to a higher speed, then run the prescribed distance again, and switch to a higher speed again."

"This process mainly focuses on the durability of the various parts of the tank."

"After the standard testing, it's all sorts of mountain off-roading, water puddles, and other miscellaneous challenges."

"Finally, once the data was collected and the new model was adjusted, it was taken directly to the plateau to test how the tank would perform in the low temperature and low oxygen conditions of the plateau."

"After we finish here, we have to go to the Northeast, to the northernmost part of the country, to see if we can run in temperatures of minus forty or fifty degrees Celsius. If we can't run, we'll analyze the reasons and find out where the problem lies."

"However, under normal circumstances, tanks in extreme cold conditions are different from normal tanks in some details. As long as they are adjusted, they can pass the low temperature test."

"This can't really be considered a special blend, because it is indeed quite different at low temperatures."

After Liu Nanqiao finished speaking, Lin Yi turned his gaze to Shen Weihua. Shen Weihua did not speak, but simply nodded slightly.
"Our process is similar, except that the only thing we can do to test these three tanks is to run them in laps."

"Because there wasn't enough time!"

"If possible, I would like to send two people to follow up with Saudi Arabia and study them carefully in their climate."

Shen Weihua's suggestion was directly rejected by Lin Yi: "Don't even think about it. Whether we can come back alive is a question."

“If you go through official channels, someone will protect you in the past. But if you don’t go through official channels, you’ll be taken away the day after you land.”

"And even if you go through official channels, you'll still be bailed out."

"Alright, let's test it out right here in this arena."

"Make do, pack and ship!"

After speaking, Lin Yi did not rush to leave. Instead, he climbed into the tank using both his hands and feet and used the tank's mechanical devices to control the turret and the gun barrel.

Unfortunately, the mechanical device was too stiff. After shaking it for a long time, the turret rotated once, and the gun barrel wobbled up and down a little.

Seeing him crawl out covered in sweat, Shen Weihua smiled smugly. He raised his right hand, his arm slightly bent, revealing the muscles on his upper arm.

After staring at his muscles for a few seconds, Lin Yi gave him a thumbs up:

"Your bonus for this month has been docked! The reason is that you threatened the boss with your fists!"

After saying this, Lin Yi jumped off the other side of the tank and ran away as fast as he could.

Back in the office, I sat down at my computer, edited the approximate progress into a document, and sent it to Sale.

After sending the email, he was about to shut down his computer and go to sleep when his phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and saw the words "Uncle Leng" flashing on the screen.

This note is Leng Yun's note.

It was already past 11 p.m., and Lin Yi didn't quite understand why this old man was calling him at this hour.

But the fact that this old man was able to make a phone call suggests that he might indeed have something urgent to do.

Composing himself, he answered the phone: "Grandpa Leng, don't you sleep at night?"

"Sleep my ass!" Leng Yun cursed, then spoke with murderous intent: "Let me ask you, what exactly did you say to the Saudis?"

Why is it that your news is all over the international stage?

"Wait, wait, wait!" Lin Yi called out repeatedly. "Catching two people in the act is like catching a thief red-handed. If you want to curse me, at least tell me how I died."

Reminded of this, Leng Yun realized that she had been too irritable.

I decided to start adjusting my breathing.

After catching his breath for two or three minutes, his agitated voice softened: "Our comrades in Russia have sent a message back home."

"They said Saudi Arabia has leased three An-124 aircraft from Russia, intending to transport something from China."

"And now intelligence agencies all over the world have been mobilized by this news."

"Everyone is frantically trying to figure out what kind of thing Saudi Arabia is transporting that requires three An-124s to carry it."

"And in this world, there is only one thing that needs these three aircraft to transport: intercontinental ballistic missiles."

"So now there are rumors that Saudi Arabia paid us a lot of money, and then we decided to sell them intercontinental ballistic missiles."

"When this news first reached us, we were all stunned."

"The whole world knows we're going to sell intercontinental ballistic missiles, but we, the parties involved, are the only ones who don't know. Who can we complain to?"

"Later, the intelligence officers investigated further and found that the company that had dealings with Saudi Arabia was yours. Then, the task of questioning you fell to me. I just wanted to ask you, what exactly did you do?"

The series of words left Lin Yi, the person involved, even more bewildered.

no……

What do you mean by needing three An-124s to transport something? Only an intercontinental ballistic missile!

Are those items for sale?
Didn't I sell three tanks?
Each tank weighs 55 tons. With maintenance parts and ammunition, isn't that the equivalent of an airplane and a tank?

What bastard heard this news?

With all this misinformation and rumors, doesn't he feel pain in his heart?

After a brief moment of confusion, he quickly explained to the person on the other end of the phone:
"What we're selling is that non-intelligent tank we mentioned last time."

“During the Chinese New Year, Salle called me and asked me to hurry up and get two units for him, so I got three for him.”

"Three tanks, plus repair parts and ammunition, would probably require one An-124."

"Who exactly spread this message?"

"I fucking..." After figuring out what had happened, Leng Yun on the other end of the phone cursed.

He desperately wanted to find out what had happened, but unfortunately, the channels through which these messages were being leaked were quite secretive.

They are only responsible for transmitting high-level intelligence they have collected; receiving intelligence requires very complicated procedures.

And there is a possibility of exposure.

After a long sigh, Leng Yun said helplessly:
"Once you've delivered the goods to Saudi Arabia, hurry up and get a few units for the army so we can be aware of the situation!"

"Be careful during this time, especially around your factory, there may be spies around."

"Alright, it's getting late, I won't bother you any longer!"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yi was completely bewildered, holding the phone in his hand.

After a moment of confusion, Ji Shuangshuang pushed open the office door and walked in:

"Aren't you going to rest yet?"

"I'll send out a document, then I'll take a break!"

"it is good!"

On the other side, Yanjing.

After finishing her call, Leng Yun turned and walked into the next conference room, tossed her phone onto the table, rolled her eyes, and said:

"Stop overthinking."

"Saudi Arabia previously ordered 11 tanks from the 80515 Research Institute, which are non-intelligent versions of the fourth-generation tank proposed by the 80515 Research Institute."

"The Army also ordered a batch."

"Saudi Arabia called the 80515 Research Institute because of America's locking of their tanks, and asked the institute to provide them with three tanks within a month."

"The 80515 Research Institute agreed, so Saudi Arabia went to Russia to coordinate the aircraft."

"There is no weapon of mass destruction codenamed 'tank,' because the transport vehicle itself is a tank."

This explanation completely broke down the defenses of the group of people in the conference room.

They spent a long time discussing whether this was a smokescreen from Russia, and what the equipment codenamed "tank" might actually be.

Unexpectedly, it was a tank!

After a long silence, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his fifties raised his hand in the corner of the conference room:
"So what should we do next? Report this to the authorities?"

“No!” Leng Yun waved his hand. “We can’t say this out loud.”

"Because no one would believe us if we said it outright, we decided to play along and have the 80515 Research Institute fabricate a document for us about a so-called 'super weapon codenamed tank'."

"Then we'll find a way to proactively release this information."

"Anyway, the investigation didn't cost us any money!"

"The American people's large-scale investigation into this matter will definitely involve activating those spies hidden in the shadows. For every one they activate, we'll arrest them."

"Perfect timing to clean up!"

After Leng Yun's reminder, everyone in the conference room looked at each other and chuckled, each laugh more cunning and more chilling than the last.

Amidst the rising and falling laughter, the person who had spoken earlier raised their hand again:

"President Leng, I think we should come up with this plan ourselves, since the 80515 Research Institute is, after all, just a research unit."

"They know too little about the conspiracies and intrigues on the international stage, and when they create plans, they subconsciously leave people a way out."

"That won't do. If we're going to do it, we need to do it once and for all. Otherwise, we can't just make a move."

Leng Yun frowned at the man's words, but after thinking about it, he agreed with him.

Although Lin Yi has some clever ideas, he doesn't know the intricacies of the game, nor does he know how shameless those bastards on the international stage can be.

Therefore, it's better for these people to do this work, letting them provide more information to the major international intelligence organizations.

After organizing her thoughts, Leng Yun began to give instructions:
"First, we need to create a fake research institute."

"And the project that this fake research institute was in charge of was codenamed Tank."

"In the document description, you must describe this thing as highly lethal and very dangerous."

"That's why we dare not use it domestically, but only internationally!"

"The specific details of the plan should be developed according to this standard!"

"The meeting is now adjourned!"

The meeting concluded, and the people in the conference room gradually left, following Leng Yun's instructions to prepare information about the deadly weapon codenamed Tank.

In addition to preparing materials, it is also necessary to prepare channels for exposure.

This channel must be highly secretive, and the other party must be able to trust it.

The goal is to get those interested in this information to investigate it diligently.
