Lunch was simple because Ye Ren said he would treat everyone to Western food at the Peace Hotel in the evening, and everyone should save some room for themselves.
After lunch, Yan Xiaonan inserted the USB drive containing the downloaded military parade footage into the projector, and it could be played by simply pressing the remote control.
Ye Ren was already sitting on the sofa in the room, followed by Grandma Yan and Cuihua. Everyone was watching intently as Yan Xiaonan pressed the remote control.
Ye Chen'er and Sheng Lijuan wisely stayed behind, because Nan Nan had said that the video had to be kept secret.
To prevent guests from coming over, Ye Chen'er and Sheng Lijuan acted as the hall masters in the living room.
Ye Ren's room door was closed, and the curtains were drawn. The dim environment would make the video clearer.
A city gate appeared on the curtain on the wall, and the flags fluttering in the wind made Ye Ren straighten his back, showing no signs of being an old man.
A car drove out of the city gate. Ye Ren looked at the person standing in the car, not recognizing him, and looked at Yan Xiaonan with a puzzled expression.
Yan Xiaonan smiled without saying a word, and Ye Ren was also very patient. Since Nannan wouldn't answer, he would just accumulate the questions and ask them all at once.
Ye Chenming and the others stared intently at the rows of honor guards that appeared on the screen. Their uniforms had changed, and they looked more energetic.
The formations of the army, navy, and air force appeared on the screen one by one, which made Ye Ren very happy.
Then, tank formations, armored formations, amphibious assault vehicle formations, airborne formations, and other formations passed by one after another, leaving Ye Ren dazzled.
At this moment, the artillery formation appeared, including vehicle-mounted howitzers and modular rocket launchers.
Hearing the introduction on the screen, Ye Ren stood up, and Ye Chenming quickly put two heart-protecting pills into his mouth: "Grandpa, it's a fantasy film, it's fake."
Ye Ren glanced at Ye Chenming with suspicion, then at Yan Xiaonan. Yan Xiaonan remained calm, and an aura of a mountain god spread out over him.
Feeling the warmth spreading through his body, Ye Ren's spirits lifted. He slowly sat down, certain that these were real things, things that would inevitably appear in Xia Kingdom for the next few decades.
I won't live to see that era, but I'm already very satisfied to be able to witness the future prosperity of the Xia Kingdom thanks to Nan Nan.
Before Ye Ren's excitement had subsided, rows of airplanes of varying sizes were being transported forward by large trucks.
That was an unmanned equipment formation. Looking at those aircraft that were completely different from fighter jets, Ye Ren expressed his incomprehension, and Yan Xiaonan quickly inserted a video.
In the video, tanks engaged in combat are locked onto by drones high in the sky and then easily destroyed.
This unexpected turn of events terrified Ye Ren and the others, making their hair stand on end. If they really had such a little thing, wouldn't the tank, the king of land warfare, become useless?
The video then returned to the military parade, where the unmanned combat formation was still performing.
"Nan Nan, that plane, a skilled sniper could easily take it down," Ye Chenming said.
"Shh, listen to the introduction, that drone also has stealth capabilities," Yan Xiaonan said.
Ye Chenming quickly shut his mouth and listened carefully to the video's introduction to the drone, his expression focused and tense.
More than a dozen unmanned reconnaissance aircraft of various types, with functions such as battlefield reconnaissance, target location, artillery fire correction, fire guidance and strike.
Furthermore, this drone can perform missions around the clock, has a certain degree of stealth capability, and can carry out combat missions such as air superiority strikes and suppression and defense.
The largest one is called a reflective drone, which also has the powerful function of suppressing enemy early warning, detection, command and communication systems.
What surprised Ye Ren and his team the most was that there was also an underwater unmanned submersible, which was the Navy's intelligent platform, a piece of equipment that integrates multiple functions such as battlefield environment reconnaissance and enemy situation surveillance.
The appearance of the submarine missile formation greatly excited Ye Ren and his companions, especially the anti-ship missiles, which have subsonic cruise and supersonic penetration flight modes.
There are also shipborne air defense long-range ship-to-air missiles and close-in weapon systems. Even Ye Chenming wanted to take some heart medication.
The surface-to-air missile formation is here, the conventional missile formation is here, and the cruise missile formation is here.
One by one, these big guys came out. Ye Ren didn't recognize them, and apart from Yan Xiaonan, no one knew what their names were.
Fortunately, there was an introduction about the Dongfeng nuclear missile formation. The fact that Xia Guo already had such powerful weapons made Ye Ren and the others very excited.
Before the excitement had subsided, the fighter jets left trails of colored smoke and roared over, revealing the arrival of the lead aircraft formation.
Formations of early warning and command aircraft, maritime patrol aircraft, transport aircraft, replacement and support aircraft, bombers, and carrier-based fighter jets flew overhead one after another.
At this point, all sorts of advanced weapons from the sea, land, and air were on display, and Ye Ren finally understood the meaning of Yan Xiaonan's earlier words about flexing muscles.
These three words are so apt; this is basically flexing muscles. He also basically understands the word "internet" that Nan Nan mentioned earlier.
The Xia Kingdom not only needs to develop weapons, but also needs to develop a nationwide network. This is a great and arduous task.
"Nan Nan, this should be the Xia Kingdom several decades from now. You already know this in heaven, and you specially showed it to me, right?"
Yan Xiaonan didn't know how to explain this.
“Grandpa, the future Xia Kingdom will be a world-renowned superpower, ranking among the top in both military strength and economy,” Yan Xiaonan said.
"Well said. As a great nation, China produces many talented people. I believe our motherland will definitely be strong in the future," Ye Ren said excitedly.
"Grandpa, why don't you take a nap? We're going out for Western food tonight." Ye Chenming was worried that the old man was getting too excited.
Ye Huiguo nodded repeatedly, and Yan Xiaonan cleverly picked up the remote control and turned off the projector.
Ye Ren ran to the wall, touched the screen, then turned to look at the projector, shaking his head with a smile. This must be the power of technology.
He walked to the bedside, lay down, and closed his eyes. He had to appreciate the children's kindness and be an obedient old man.
Next door, Yu Shu and Tian Ru, the two children, were already asleep. They were thinking about what their mother had promised them, so they had to behave well.
Fu Qingping pulled Cuihua along: "Cuihua, we're going to wear cheongsams to dinner tonight, go and get ready."
Cuihua was a little embarrassed. She hadn't worn a formal cheongsam to Nannan's wedding because the dress was too unforgiving of her figure.
Looking at the fat I've gained so much in recent years, those proud rolls of fat around my waist, I'm so worried.
"Mom, let the two grandmas wear cheongsams. I'll get you some nice clothes, I guarantee you'll look good in them."
Cuihua nodded repeatedly: "Master, I'm entrusting my mother's cheongsam to you. I'm going to go find some clothes with Nannan."
