Siheyuan: At the beginning, I can integrate everything!

The air seemed to freeze in the office of the Minister of the Equipment Department of the Military Region.

Lin Zhentian's rough, large hands gripped the dark gray vest tightly.

His thumb rubbed back and forth on the armor-piercing bullet head, which had been flattened into a metal chrysanthemum but failed to penetrate the fabric.

"hiss--!"

All the high-ranking officers in the room gasped in unison.

Even his breathing became rapid and heavy.

"Chen Bing, you're lucky to be alive."

Lin Zhentian suddenly raised his head, his tiger-like eyes burning with fanatical flames as he stared intently at Chen Bing.

"I've fought wars my whole life, and I've never seen anything this strangely good!"

"This fabric, as thin as a thermal undershirt, can actually stop a direct hit from an armor-piercing bullet at close range?!"

"And there wasn't even a trace of internal injury?!"

Lin Zhentian slammed his hand on the table in excitement, causing the teacups on the table to clatter loudly.

"If we equipped all our frontline reconnaissance and special forces soldiers with these."

"Then wouldn't that mean our soldiers have an extra life on the battlefield?"

This is a truly game-changing weapon for individual soldiers, capable of altering the course of small-scale local wars!

Chen Bing straightened his back, his eyes filled with pride.

"Sir, this is a birthday gift that Advisor Zhang personally 'sewed' for me using new materials."

These words were spoken.

Not only Lin Zhentian, but also the captains of the special forces teams around him instantly turned green with envy.

The look in his eyes was even more greedy than a hungry wolf eyeing fresh meat.

The news spread like wildfire within the military region at an alarming speed.

In less than half a day.

The entire military region was in an uproar.

Special Guard Regiment, Reconnaissance Battalion, Sharp Knife Company... those proud and arrogant elite soldiers who dared to defy anyone.

They couldn't sit still any longer.

Early the next morning.

In front of the headquarters building of Future Technology Group in Zhongguancun.

There was no disturbance, no uproar.

But the scene was more breathtaking than ever before.

There were over a hundred special forces soldiers, all dressed in camouflage, with burly builds and sharp eyes.

Under the leadership of several battalion commanders.

They stood in neat, silent rows in the square.

They were like rows of steel walls, though they didn't utter a single word.

But in those hundreds of eyes, there was a longing, an intense thirst for knowledge.

"What's going on? Is there going to be a war?"

The locals were so frightened that they took a detour.

In the chairman's office on the top floor.

Looking at the scene downstairs, Yu Li smiled wryly and said to Zhang Huaimin:

"Chairman Zhang, these soldiers submitted a petition yesterday, saying that no matter how much money it costs, even if it means deducting their allowance for ten years."

"I also request that you provide each of them with one of those bulletproof vests."

Zhang Huaimin stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the men who were shedding blood and sweat for the country.

A gentle smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Money? Does Future Technology lack money right now?"

He turned around, and with a flourish of his pen, signed his name on a document.

"Tell the factories below to suspend some of their civilian appliance production lines."

"We are going all out to produce this polymer composite material."

Zhang Huaimin handed the document to Yu Li, his tone leaving no room for argument.

"The first batch will be 1,000 sets donated free of charge to the special forces."

"Consider it a small perk from our future technology to the soldiers who defend our country."

One thousand sets! Free!

Yu Li was deeply moved and immediately went to make arrangements.

half a month later.

In northern China, a large-scale multinational joint military exercise codenamed "Sharp Sword" has begun.

This exercise not only involved elite domestic troops, but also invited military observers from many Western countries to "observe".

In reality, it was a show of force, and also an excuse for the West to try to gauge China's military strength.

The highlight of the exercise was the urban street fighting assault drill.

"Boom! Boom!"

Inside the exercise field, artillery fire raged and smoke filled the air.

Foreign military observers sat on the reviewing stand in the security zone, holding binoculars, their faces showing a mix of nonchalance and arrogance.

In their view, China's individual soldier equipment is still backward, and apart from human wave tactics, there is nothing to praise.

however.

When China's special forces appeared on the battlefield.

The expressions on the faces of all the foreign observers froze instantly.

These commandos did not wear the bulky, tortoise-shell-like traditional bulletproof ceramic plates that severely hampered their mobility.

They were just wearing what appeared to be an extremely ordinary dark gray bodysuit under their camouflage uniforms!

This is practically like running naked!

"My God, has the Chinese commander gone mad? Sending soldiers into battle dressed like this?"

An American observer couldn't help but laugh out loud.

But the next second, his laughter seemed to be stuck in his throat.

In the exercise scenario, the assault team encountered heavy machine gun fire from the enemy.

Logically speaking, under such a barrage of fire, charging forward would make one an easy target.

but.

Those Chinese special forces soldiers were actually under heavy fire (the exercise used live ammunition with reduced propellant, but it still had extremely strong lethality).

Like a ghost, it moved through the ruins with incredible speed and agility!

"Clang clang clang clang!"

Sparks exploded continuously on the special forces soldiers' chests and backs.

But those bullets were powerful enough to pierce sandbags.

The moment they came into contact with that gray vest, everything vanished as if it had been thrown into the sea, instantly bounced away and shattered!

The special forces soldiers not only did not fall, but they did not even show any signs of being knocked back even half a step by the impact of the bullets!

They were like a group of true steel warriors, ignoring all physical damage.

They moved through the hail of bullets as if they were in an empty field.

They swiftly and decisively eliminated the enemy's firepower point!

"This is impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

On the viewing platform, the American observer who had just been mocking them was so shocked that he jumped up from his chair.

His expensive Zeiss binoculars fell to the ground with a "clatter" and shattered into pieces.

My jaw is almost dislocated.

"What kind of magical armor are they wearing?! Even rifle bullets with reduced charge can't penetrate it?!"

"And it's so lightweight! This completely violates the principles of materials science!"

Observers from other countries have all gone crazy.

They frantically captured the scene with their cameras, their eyes filled with extreme fear and disbelief.

If all of China's army were to be equipped with this kind of individual defensive gear.

In conventional ground warfare, the Chinese army would be a truly invincible force!

This is simply a case of being outmatched!

The highest point of the viewing platform.

Commander Lin Zhentian watched the comical, terrified expressions of the foreign military observers.

He was laughing so hard his eyes were almost closed, and his mouth was stretched to the back of his head.

"Hahaha! That feels great! That's fucking awesome!"

He slapped his thigh and turned to give his adjutant a death order.

"Notify the military region's security bureau immediately!"

"Upgrade Future Technology Group's security level to nuclear weapons level!"

"Every single hair on Consultant Zhang's head is a top state secret!"

From this moment on...

Future Technology is not only a commercial behemoth, but has also officially crossed over into other fields, becoming a super giant that makes the global military industry tremble!

At this time.

At the Future Technology Headquarters.

Zhang Huaimin didn't pay attention to the results of the exercise, as it was already within his expectations.

He was sitting at his large desk, holding a newly delivered global climate analysis report.

On the screen, vast swathes of parched, cracked land in parts of Africa and Latin America are displayed.

"Individual defense has been solved, but the world's stomachs are still not full."

Zhang Huaimin put down the report, his eyes becoming deep and compassionate.

The global climate has been abnormal in recent months.

Many countries have experienced a once-in-a-century drought, resulting in a significant reduction in food production.

A terrifying global famine crisis is creeping in like a monster with its jaws wide open.

Zhang Huaimin's gaze drifted south through the floor-to-ceiling window.

There, you'll find the nation's most core agricultural research institute's experimental fields.

"System, it's time to unleash the true power of the 'Super Photosynthesis Rice Gene'."
