The factory director has a new skill every day, which has broken down the strategic deception bureau

Beijing Army Equipment Heavy Tank Research Center.

Inside the director's office.

Han Zhentao's phone screen was still showing a replay of last night's Zhenxing Industry and Trade fireworks live stream.

My gaze lingered on the cluster of fireworks on the screen, soaring six thousand meters into the sky with a trajectory as steady as a standard artillery piece, and my heart remained unsettled.

Having worked in the industry for decades, he has seen countless civilian fireworks products and military-grade firearms parameters.

I have never seen a civilian firework that possesses such terrifying stability, precision, and cluster detonation logic.

The fireworks product alone is enough to reveal Lin Tian’s terrifying mechanical tuning, ballistic control and precision programming capabilities, showing his advanced technical skills that are ahead of their time.

My excitement was overwhelming.

A civilian firework can still achieve industry-revolutionizing specifications comparable to military-grade products.

What kind of revolutionary surprises will Lin Tian bring next when he personally modifies the existing Type 99A main battle tank?

Han Zhentao was full of anticipation and couldn't wait to see the final results of the renovation.

Just at this time.

The private phone on the desk suddenly rang, its urgent ringing breaking the silence of the room.

Han Zhentao answered the phone: "Feed?"

The voice of Xu Kaiwen, barely able to contain his excitement, came through the phone: "Director...this is fantastic news, a wonderful surprise!"

"I've just finished reviewing the entire 99A fourth-generation modification plan that Lin Tian worked on overnight!"

"Completely exceeded all our R&D expectations!"

"He accurately identified all the core shortcomings of the Type 99A, including its weak low-altitude air defense, poor adaptability to unmanned operations, insufficient expandability, and low fault tolerance in manned operations."

"Without any drawings, specifications, or original manufacturer data, all defects were perfectly corrected solely through visual inspection!"

"The most outrageous thing is... he broke away from the traditional iterative approach of third-generation tanks and directly upgraded the Type 99A into a fourth-generation intelligent main battle tank!"

"The newly added all-domain anti-drone defense system and AI-powered vehicle-mounted intelligent hub completely integrate the unmanned combat system across land, sea, and air, enabling direct联动 (interconnection/coordination) of drones, robot dogs, unmanned ships, and unmanned submarines in swarm operations!"

"Furthermore, the plan also includes a pre-designed transformation architecture for land-based mechs, which can be directly superimposed into a standing combat mech form in the future, completely rewriting the traditional land warfare model!"

"This isn't just a modification; it's a complete redefinition of the next generation of main battle tanks!"

"What?!" Han Zhentao's voice was filled with disbelief and shock: "This..."

He stood there, stunned, his mind racing as he processed this revolutionary information.

"My goodness, no wonder he's Lin Tian! This kid's imagination, vision, and technological acumen are simply unmatched!"

"Our entire R&D team has been working on this for years, stuck in the established framework of three generations of tank iterations, struggling to find a breakthrough, but no one seemed to have thought of it."

"The core of next-generation land warfare is intelligence, unmanned operation, and system integration!"

Han Zhentao was instantly enlightened, overwhelmed with emotion: "We should have long ago broken free from the misconception of simply piling on hardware and officially entered a new stage of all-domain AI-powered intelligent warfare!"

"Our thinking has become too rigid and limited for too long!"

"Xiao Xu, you stay here and keep a close eye on things. Cooperate with Lin Tian throughout the process. If you encounter any technical difficulties that you don't understand or can't figure out, humbly ask him for help immediately."

"Don't act arrogantly or condescending just because you're a senior chief engineer. Lin Tian's technical vision far surpasses ours."

"This is an excellent opportunity for us to learn, gain experience, and break through our limitations. We must humbly seek guidance and fully cooperate!"

Xu Kaiwen on the other end of the phone quickly replied, "Understood, Director!"

After hanging up the phone, Han Zhentao still couldn't hide his excitement and joy. His fists were slightly clenched, and his eyes were full of light.

"Lin Tian certainly didn't disappoint me!"

"Great! The stalemate in the development of fourth-generation tanks that has plagued us for years has finally been broken. There is finally hope for a breakthrough in our domestically produced next-generation main battle tank!"

Han Zhentao has already begun to envision the scene of the domestically produced fourth-generation intelligent tank being fully deployed and dominating land warfare.

Just at this time.

The red telephone on the desk rang.

The shrill ringing of the bell instantly interrupted his thoughts.

The "Red Hotline" is only for urgent national-level military and defense research tasks and will never be activated except in cases of major emergencies.

Han Zhentao quickly picked up the phone: "Hello, this is Han Zhentao."

A calm yet urgent voice came from the other end of the phone: "Director Han Zhentao, urgent mission!"

"You are to proceed to Guanlan Air Force Base immediately to participate in the research and development of nationally classified equipment. The situation is urgent and cannot be delayed!"

Emergency mission?

Han Zhentao was slightly taken aback. Without time to ask for details, he immediately replied in a deep voice, "Understood! I'll prepare immediately...and depart right away!"

After a brief preparation, Han Zhentao boarded his dedicated research commuter plane and immediately took off.

We sped off to Guanlan Air Force Base in Shenzhen.

After speeding all the way across thousands of miles of airspace, Han Zhentao arrived at the base's classified research facility in the afternoon.

The base's security and research liaison personnel were already waiting at the entrance. Upon seeing Han Zhentao arrive, they immediately stepped forward to greet him respectfully: "Director Han Zhentao, you've finally arrived!"

"You must be tired from your journey. Please follow me inside. We urgently need your support at the critical site!"

"Lead the way!" Han Zhentao hurried along, quickly following the personnel into the core classified dismantling workshop.

Inside the vast, dust-free, confidential workshop, the lights were on and the instruments were humming, creating a tense and busy scene of everyone working together to overcome challenges.

Right in the center, the RQ-190 "Raven" stealth reconnaissance aircraft, which made a successful emergency landing with almost no major damage, sat quietly.

The fuselage's matte stealth coating, precision avionics, low-altitude silent detection module, and miniature radar reflection suppression structure are all intact.

Dozens of academic luminaries, senior technical experts, and frontline engineers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Aerospace Research Institute, and the National Defense Materials Research Institute worked in an orderly manner around the fighter jet.

Someone was using precision instruments to analyze the material of the stealth coating on the aircraft body layer by layer.

Someone disassembled the airborne avionics motherboard and reverse-engineered the program algorithm.

Some people are mapping the aerodynamic layout data of the fuselage, while others are testing the low-altitude silent reconnaissance and electromagnetic camouflage modules.

The sounds of keyboard typing, instrument beeping, and experts discussing in hushed tones mingled together.

Everyone was solemn and moved quickly, making the most of every second.

Everyone knew that the window of opportunity left for them to tackle the challenge was extremely short.

Just as Han Zhentao's gaze swept across the entire room.

A figure quickly approached; it was Zhou Hongyuan, the director of the Institute of Aerospace Stealth Vehicles, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Zhou Hongyuan strode up to him, skipping pleasantries and getting straight to the point, his tone urgent and serious: "Director Han, you've finally arrived! The situation is urgent, let me briefly explain!"

"This RQ-190 Raven stealth reconnaissance aircraft is the latest generation of stealth reconnaissance weapon currently in service with the United States, which we intercepted in our airspace last night. The aircraft is intact and fully equipped, making it an extremely rare benchmark for research!"

"But the US has launched a high-intensity diplomatic pressure campaign, urging extradition and demanding the return of the fighter jet wreckage. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is doing its best to negotiate and delay."

"We don't have much time left to disassemble, study, and reverse engineer the core technologies; we only have a window of at most 48 hours!"

"We must master all its core technologies—stealth coating, low-altitude stealth technology, micro-radar reflection suppression, intelligent avionics detection, and complex clutter camouflage—in the shortest possible time, thus filling the technological gaps in our country's stealth aircraft and low-altitude air defense detection!"

After listening, Han Zhentao's expression turned serious: "I understand. Time is of the essence, and we must act swiftly to tackle this difficult problem!"

Han Zhentao immediately began his research...

However, what happened next stunned him!
