Siheyuan: At the beginning, I can integrate everything!

Hongxing Military Region live-fire range.

It was surrounded by high bulletproof walls, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder all year round.

The firing range was immediately cleared.

Apart from a few core guards, there were only Zhang Huaimin, Chen Bing, and Lao Li, the chief instructor of the shooting range.

"Captain Chen, you dragged me out of bed in this freezing weather just to show me this?"

Instructor Li, wrapped in a military overcoat, looked utterly unwilling.

He pointed to a dark blue steel plate standing in the middle of the sandbags, fifty meters ahead.

"Just this piece of sheet metal, barely thicker than a windowpane?"

"Don't tell me this is the new type of bulletproof armor that your secret laboratory developed."

Old Li shook his head, his tone full of sarcasm.

"Do you think I'm new to handling guns? This thing, let alone a Type 56 semi-automatic rifle..."

"Even with a handgun, I could shoot it through the air from fifty meters away!"

Chen Bing ignored Lao Li's sarcasm.

He had just weighed the steel plate in the lab.

The feeling of touch, as light as a feather, still seems unbelievable to him.

Although he wasn't sure himself, he still came despite his near-blind trust in Zhang Huaimin.

"Stop talking nonsense, just do the test."

Chen Bing snatched the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle from Lao Li's hand.

"Huaimin said that if this thing can stop bullets, then it definitely can."

Zhang Huaimin stood in the safe zone to the side.

He was wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket, his hands were in his pockets, and his little face was red from the cold.

Seeing Old Li's utterly disbelieving expression, Zhang Huaimin simply smiled faintly.

"Instructor Li, practice makes perfect."

"If you feel one shot isn't enough, then fire a few more."

Old Li curled his lip.

"Fine! Since Captain Chen has spoken, then I'll make sure you give up."

He stepped back two paces and watched the show with his arms crossed.

"Captain Chen, make sure you aim carefully before you fire. Don't miss, or I'll have to go through all the trouble of finding that piece of scrap metal."

Chen Bing took a deep breath.

"Click!"

Skillfully pull the bolt and chamber the round.

The cold, metallic clanging echoed through the empty firing range.

Chen Bing knelt on one knee, picked up his rifle, and his eyes instantly became as sharp as a hawk's.

Fifty meters is a distance that, for a special forces king like him, is practically a matter of aiming and shooting.

He aimed his crosshairs firmly at the center of that dark blue steel plate.

"Bang!"

A crisp gunshot rang out.

The bullet tore through the air, carrying terrifying kinetic energy, and slammed into the three-millimeter-thick steel plate.

Instructor Li was even prepared to hear the muffled sound of a bullet piercing through metal.

however.

"clang--!"

A piercing, crisp metallic crackling sound rang out.

It exploded with a deafening roar at the bullseye!

The sound was like a giant hammer striking a temple's bronze bell, making one's eardrums ache.

"What's going on?!"

Instructor Li's eyes widened suddenly, and he instinctively leaned forward.

No penetration?

How is that possible!

Chen Bing was also taken aback.

He saw it clearly through the scope.

The powerful rifle bullet struck the steel plate at the moment...

It was like hitting an insurmountable wall of sighs!

It's neither a pop-out nor an inlay.

Instead, it simply... shattered!

Yes, the high-speed rotating copper-jacketed projectile, under extremely terrifying reaction force.

It was instantly squeezed, deformed, and finally torn to pieces.

It turned into countless burning metal fragments, bursting into a dazzling burst of sparks on the surface of the steel plate!

"continue!"

Zhang Huaimin's clear voice came from behind.

Chen Bing took a deep breath, a hint of fanaticism flashing in his eyes.

Without further hesitation, he repeatedly pulled the trigger.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A series of rapid gunshots rang out within the firing range.

Chen Bing fired all ten bullets in the magazine in one go.

Every bullet landed precisely on that small, dark blue steel plate.

"Clang clang clang clang clang!"

The continuous metallic clanging sound was accompanied by blinding sparks bursting from the surface of the steel plate.

Like a dazzling firework bursting in the darkness.

The smoke from the gunpowder filled the cold air, gradually blurring the view.

The gunfire stopped.

The entire firing range fell into a deathly silence.

There was only the clanging sound of a few hot shell casings falling onto the concrete.

"This...this is impossible..."

Instructor Li's Adam's apple bobbed with difficulty, and his voice trembled.

He pushed aside the soldiers in front of him and charged toward the bullseye without regard for anything else.

Chen Bing followed closely behind.

When the two rushed to the sandbag and saw the condition of the steel plate,

Both of them gasped simultaneously, feeling a chill run down their spines and their body hair stand on end.

That thin, dark blue steel plate.

It still stands quietly in the middle of the sandbags.

On its surface, apart from ten shallow pits, each only the size of a coin and less than a millimeter in diameter, there are no other features.

There wasn't even a tiny hole that could have been penetrated!

And those rifle bullets carrying terrifying kinetic energy.

At this moment, it has all turned into a pile of twisted and deformed scrap metal.

Scattered on the ground in front of the steel plate, wisps of white smoke were still rising.

"My God..."

Instructor Li's legs gave way, and he collapsed onto the sand with a thud.

He stared wide-eyed at the intact steel plate.

This completely overturned his common sense about guns, which he had spent half his life with!

Three millimeters!

It's only three millimeters thick!

It's as light as a wooden board, yet its defensive capabilities are so incredible that even rifle bullets can't penetrate it!

If this were made into bulletproof vests and worn by soldiers...

Wouldn't they become invincible Iron Man on the battlefield?!

"What... what kind of divine material is this?"

Instructor Li reached out his hand, trembling, wanting to touch the steel plate.

His hands were trembling violently.

It was as if he wasn't touching a piece of metal, but some incredible alien technology!

"This is terrifying...it's a miracle! It's a miracle!"

Instructor Li was so excited that he almost cried.

He turned his head and looked at the five-year-old child in the distance, hands in his pockets, with a nonchalant expression.

His eyes no longer held just shock, but a deep fervor and worship.

Chen Bing stood aside, trying his best to maintain the restraint of a soldier.

But his hands, white from gripping too tightly, betrayed the turmoil within him.

He finally understood why the military region leaders treated this five-year-old child like a national treasure!

This incredible technology is enough to change the entire nation's defense capabilities!

Just as Instructor Li was trembling as he stroked the steel plate...

Outside the firing range.

Suddenly, a screeching sound of brakes and hurried footsteps rang out.

Accompanied by the sentry's panicked salute.

"Greetings, sir!"

The door was suddenly pushed open.

Commander Lin Zhentian didn't even put on his military overcoat.

He was covered in sweat, and his face was flushed red with extreme excitement.

Led by several senior experts from ministries with fervent expressions, they rushed into the firing range like a whirlwind.
