However, the fact that they were able to turn mortars into military weapons in such a short time and successfully upgrade and improve them is truly remarkable, as these are all military scientists.
Zhao Youcai really wanted to see the power of a mortar; such a famous scene is something few people have the chance to witness in their lifetime.
"Okay, let's go now!"
Zhao Youcai consciously closed his eyes, waiting for them to put a blindfold on him and take him out.
"Uncle Zhao, why are you closing your eyes? How can you walk with your eyes closed?"
Zhao Youcai: ...
It was the youngest son of the big boss who reacted quickly, offering an explanation with a mix of amusement and exasperation.
"Don't worry, Uncle Zhao, the range we're talking about isn't in the military base. We also have a dedicated test range here for testing the power of weapons."
Zhao Youcai understood and was finally relieved.
To be honest, he didn't really like facing the darkness.
However, after arriving at the test range, Zhao Youcai felt that the place looked familiar, as if he had been there before.
Looking at the mini-map inside the cheat system again, his lips twitched violently.
Isn't this the place where, upon arriving at the military region, I was forced to demonstrate the capabilities of a toy mortar?
Zhao Youcai became increasingly curious about the layout and design of the military region and the venue for the Thousand Ears Festival.
How can two seemingly unrelated places be designed so closely together that they are barely noticeable?
The moment the power of the improved mortar was demonstrated, even Zhao Youcai himself was incredibly excited.
"Range 1,500 meters! 100% accuracy. Move the target further away and try again!"
In a time when even weapons and equipment research relies on samples captured from other countries, the advent of a purely domestically produced mortar is nothing short of a shot in the arm.
Most importantly, the materials required are not scarce, making it very simple and assembling it is also very convenient.
"I suggest making two versions of this mortar: one to be mounted on a vehicle and the other to be carried on your person!"
"Yes, yes, and the research and development funding is minimal, the manufacturing cost is extremely low, but the power is exceptionally great, making it very cost-effective!"
A group of people were chattering excitedly, all extremely happy.
Just then, the big boss arrived again.
After witnessing the power of this mortar once again, he waved his hand and prepared to replace the weapons of his own soldiers first.
While everyone else was incredibly excited, Zhao Youcai remained frozen in place.
I wasn't happy because his efforts were recognized, but because a lucky charm suddenly popped up with a notification.
[Due to the influence of the original blueprints, the improved mortar has been successfully developed. The reward is the free unlock of the next category of military manufacturing items: one Orca unmanned underwater vehicle blueprint, two Orca unmanned underwater vehicle toy models, and three Orca unmanned underwater vehicle parts manufacturing tutorials and component parameter ratio diagrams.]
Zhao Youcai suddenly had a bad feeling, and sure enough—
"Comrade Zhao, what's in your shirt pocket? It's bulging!"
Zhao Youcai thought to himself: Here it comes, finally here! Why does this toy always appear out of thin air? Can't we give him a chance to take it out himself?
Now everyone's attention has been diverted.
Zhao Youcai could only slowly and methodically take out the new toy and show it to the many military industry leaders, amidst the puzzled or shocked expressions on everyone's faces.
This has caused quite a stir once again.
Some people are scrambling to grab blueprints, while others are scrambling to grab models.
What should have been a proper testing ground was transformed into a bustling scene resembling a vegetable market.
But none of this affected Zhao Youcai's standing in everyone's eyes; the clever ones had already taken him by the arm to do experiments.
Zhao Youcai's toy model is simply too exquisite, several times more exquisite than the mortar from before.
The top leader was itching to go with the group of military industry tycoons.
Unfortunately, he couldn't show it too much, so he could only wait silently.
Zhao Youcai witnessed once again the mindset of a scientific fanatic, who seemed determined not to rest until he had solved the problem.
"Comrade Zhao, how should this part be polished? To be honest, it always leaks when I polish it to this extent."
"Comrade Zhao, look here. The two gears can't fit together at all, but your model is uneven, one thick and one thin."
"Comrade Zhao, over here..."
"Comrade Zhao, over there..."
At this moment, Zhao Youcai was filled with fear of being dominated by the three words "Comrade Zhao," and he was completely unsettled.
After a busy day, I'm completely exhausted.
At this time, Zhao Jianfei was living in the military region. When he had nothing to do, he would go out for a walk and see how others trained.
Just as he was getting excited watching, he suddenly felt the world spinning, and then he was lying on his back with his legs in the air, his back burning with pain.
Immediately afterwards, a very spirited voice rang out, and a bright and cheerful beauty crossed her arms and looked down at him.
"Hey, whose soldier are you? What are you doing lying here?"
Zhao Jianfei stared blankly at the other person, completely oblivious to what they were saying.
"What are you thinking about? I'm asking you a question, answer me!"
Zhao Jianfei was suddenly kicked and finally came to his senses.
This time, the pain finally came, and he grimaced as he awkwardly sat up from the ground.
When Zhao Jianfei returned from using the restroom, the young soldier who had been protecting him was nearly scared out of his wits.
He ran over at lightning speed, looking at Zhao Jianfei with a worried expression, his voice trembling as he spoke.
"Comrade Zhao, are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?"
They glanced again at the woman beside them, who exuded a roguish air, and were so frightened that they all stood up with goosebumps.
"Company Commander Wang... Company Commander Wang."
The woman nodded haughtily, then shifted her gaze back to Zhao Jianfei.
"Where did this person come from?"
The young soldier looked around at where Zhao Jianfei had been, and seeing that he was indeed alright, he finally calmed down, stood up straight, and answered the woman's question.
"Reporting to Company Commander Wang, he was specially sent by the higher-ups to be protected by our military region."
Company Commander Wang glanced at Zhao Jianfei several times, but couldn't see anything about him that was worth protecting.
Fortunately, the young soldier reacted quickly enough. Seeing that Company Commander Wang was no longer speaking, he quickly grabbed Zhao Jianfei and ran away.
"Your military region actually has female soldiers, and one of them is even a company commander."
Zhao Jianfei knew it wasn't a good idea to deliberately inquire about the other party's situation, so he used this questioning tone to wait for the other party to clarify.
The young soldier looked around again, making sure that Company Commander Wang wasn't following, before cautiously lowering his voice to answer Zhao Jianfei's question.
"Keep your voice down, Company Commander Wang is a notorious tigress, a Tyrannosaurus Rex. There are very few people in the entire military region who can beat her."
"Our military region has over thirty female soldiers. Each one is incredibly strong and resilient, they're practically invincible! Most importantly..."
