Chapter 508: Reliable!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Of course, if the car got damaged from the explosion, it wouldn’t be a problem to produce another one. However, the problem was that that should be when no one was around and it could be exploded whatever way you desired. With so many important military personnel watching with their necks craned like giraffes, everything would be resolved if he just produced another car? Was he playing them for a fool?
Sure enough, after hearing Hong Dali’s words, the various military personnel present could not stand it anymore. The extremely hot-tempered An Yangxu angrily said, “Rascal, you say that it’s resolved, then it’s resolved? Us old guys have been waiting. You think we are all so free to accompany and amuse you?”
“Exactly.” The other three also could not take it anymore. “Are you happy playing with us, old-timers? What do you mean by producing another car?” “So, can it work? If it can’t, then we might as well not try. It’ll be better if we just return and discuss strategies, instead!”
At this moment, the Bureau Chief, who was standing aside, could not watch anymore. “Can you just keep your mouths to yourselves? Even though our Hong Dali, this rascal, might be a bit of a wastrel, but he’s still quite reliable!”
“Hiccup...” Hong Dali grabbed a handful of Dali Beans from his pocket before distributing two each to Tang Muxin and the others. As he ate, he said, “Reliable!”
Flattery, like perfume, should be smelled, not swallowed!
The Bureau Chief changed the subject decisively. “Besides, even if he wasn’t reliable, we would have to wait for the explosion to occur first! Rocket launcher, get ready!”
“Yes, explode it! Explode it mercilessly!” An Yangxu shouted ferociously.
The mysterious man shook his head helplessly. This An Yangxu was like a soldier during the war years from tens of years ago. He had a bandit attitude that did not keep up with the times. Otherwise, he wouldn’t still remain as a lieutenant general even after all these years. *I’m afraid his peak years are long gone. *
With the leader’s nod of approval, a flurry of actions begun.
The 120MM rocket launcher used to explode the car was the world’s strongest rocket launcher. It was able to destroy all active tanks and armored vehicles. Before arriving, An Yangxu sent out a command for everything used to be the best, most perfect and more impressive!
Since Hong Dali said that this car’s defense system was very impressive, then there was no need to hold back. If it was just a bulletproof car, Hong Dali wouldn’t have had the cheek to use such a ragged plaything to exchange for the east sea.
Of course, the other reason was that Hong Dali, this wastrel, was rich. Even if it did get damaged, it wouldn’t mean much to him.
Hence, the launches began.
Firstly, three soldiers lifted the rocket launcher. After the rocket ammunition was installed, they accurately aimed for Hong Dali’s Granzon in the distance. After everything was prepared, a small red flag was waved on the stage and the three of them pressed the triggers simultaneously. Momentarily, “Shh! Shh! Shh!” could be heard as three shrill sounds pieced through the air. Three 120MM rocket projectiles of massive power were launched and rushed towards the Granzon.
The tail of the three projectiles emitted heavy fire. Their momentum was extremely scary, carrying with it a thick blanket of smoke. In an instant, they reached the Granzon.
Boom boom boom!
Three earth-shattering sounds could be heard. The shell fragments flew about and destroyed everything. Just the bombardment of these three projectiles caused three gigantic pits to be formed in the ground. The momentum was enough to blow up a small mountain. Regardless of how formidable its defense system was, just a trivial Granzon wouldn’t be able to withstand it.
This was the formidable power of the 120MM rocket launcher. It was filled with inexhaustible power and was unmatched against the power of all individual weapons in the world. It could even regard tanks and armored vehicles as nothing.
Quickly, the thick smoke dispersed. Everyone present widened their eyes in great astonishment!
“This... This is...” An Yangxu was stunned, and so were the other three important military personnel! The mysterious man was stunned, and so was the Bureau Chief!
Not only was the Granzon not blown up as imagined, but its outermost layer of skin also did not even suffer a trace of damage.
It sat there, intact and without damage. It looked as if there wasn’t even a speck of dust on it. It was as if those three 120MM rocket projectiles were launched into another space entirely.
“This... This is impossible, right?” After everyone was momentarily stunned, they all stood up at the same time. An Yangxu looked at the Granzon at a loss for words. “Nothing happened? That were 120MM rocket projectiles! They can even blow up tanks and armored vehicles, but this car didn’t even suffer a scratch?!”
“I must have seen it wrong.” Hao Ren stared at the Granzon and muttered, “This plaything, this plaything’s defense system...”
“I think so, too. There has never been anything in this world with such a strong defense!” Tang Yuanqing said, “There must be a problem, a big problem. Quickly, where’s the recording? Play it quickly!”
A live video recording was a must for such a scenario. A short while later, someone sent over the camera that was especially used to record videos. The mysterious man, Bureau Chief, An Yangxu, and four others stared intently at the camera’s electronic screen.
Image playback began.
This time, it was recorded from the point of view of the Granzon. From this angle, it could be seen that a few rocket projectiles were shot towards the Granzon at once. Afterwards, what happened was entirely contrary to everyone’s expectations. All the rocket projectiles did not hit the Granzon. Instead, at a distance of approximately 10 meters or so away from the Granzon, they exploded at the same time. A faint layer of a golden-yellow halo flickered. The impact of the explosion was entirely blocked by that layer of halo and not a wee bit of the shell fragments that filled the sky flew towards the Granzon!
“Huh...” The group of people sucked in a cold breath together.
To give an example of sturdiness—adamantium. The rocket projectile would indeed be unable to blow it up. However, as sturdy as something might be, it would only have a strong physical defense. However, what was up with this Granzon’s shield of physical defense? Guided missiles blowing up in the air?!
“Why don’t we try again?” The mysterious man knew that they truly met a treasure today. Even though they did not know how Hong Dali, this rascal, created this shield of physical defense; regardless, the effect was obvious. It was indeed ferocious!
“Let’s try again!” An Yangxu glanced at Hong Dali. “Rascal, it won’t be a problem, right?”
“Ah, as you please. This car of mine is sturdy.” Hong Dali threw another Dali Bean into his mouth as if everything that was said was as trivial and ordinary as a matter of asking if one had eaten breakfast.
Since Hong Dali said that it wouldn’t be a problem, what was there left to say? An Yangxu waved mercilessly. “Continue, explode it!”
Since the rocket projectiles had been tested, what was being tested this time around was the Heavenly State’s most advanced Type-88 Main Battle Tank. On top of it, a Type ZPT-98, 50-caliber, 125-millimeter high barrel smoothbore tank gun was attached. It had tungsten ammunition/uranium alloy tailpiece with stable armor-piercing discarding sabot, stable tailpiece with a high-explosive anti-tank warhead, and stable tail surface with multi-functional lethal explosive grenades and 41 loads of ammunition.
This time, there were five main battle tanks in total!
Looking at the five main battle tanks neatly lined in a row with all their muzzles facing the Granzon, whose body looked frail in comparison, made the mysterious man suck in a deep breath.
When these main battle tanks launched the third generation armor-piercing discarding sabot from the tungsten alloy stable tailpiece, its initial velocity was 1,780m/s. At a distance of 2,000 meters, it was able to penetrate an armored vehicle that was 850 millimeters in thickness. The latest model of armor-piercing shell made from depleted uranium had a thickness of up to 960 millimeters!
Could this Granzon’s physical defense system really withstand a weapon with such formidable power?
Of course, as the saying goes: once a choice is made, there is be no turning back. Since they had already reached such a stage, it was necessary to give it a try regardless of whether the Granzon could withstand it or not.
“Launch it!” The small red flag was waved and the muzzles of the five Type-88 Main Battle Tanks released fire at once!
*Boom boom boom boom boom—!!!! *
This time, what was being bombarded was a stationary, stable target. With an accurate aim, a round of crazy shots would do the job. Hence, these five main battle tanks did not hold back and their muzzles fired continuously!
At where the Granzon was parked, the entire place was filled with smoke from gunpowder. The flare of fire filled the place and the bombarded soil covered the sky. Without an ounce of exaggeration, if a normal tank was in the position instead, it would probably have been bombed until it was a pile of useless metal.
Each main battle tank fired ten times before stopping and retreating.
However, after the gunpowder that spread all over the air had dispersed, the Granzon remained unscathed and still in the same place, intact and undamaged. It did not have a wee bit of a problem. It was as if it was just carried out of the 4S store...
“This... This is...” An Yangxu was stunned once again. This time, he felt no need to test the Granzon out with a few helicopters—the latest model of armor-piercing shell made from depleted uranium couldn’t even move this car a fraction. So far, there seemed to be no need for other weapons to be tested.
“Clear out, clear out immediately!” As expected of one of the bosses of the military, without another word, An Yangxu directly requested for everyone to clear out. “Tell everyone to remember this carefully. Everything that happened today, whoever leaks a word about this will be deemed a traitor!”
The orderly immediately ran off and relayed his words.
Very quickly, Hong Dali and his lackeys, the mysterious man, the Bureau Chief, An Yangxu, and the other important military personnel were left at the scene. Other regular officers and men had all left, not one was left.
“Boss, it seems like we really have obtained a treasure today.” An Yangxu exchanged a look with three senior generals before facing the mysterious man and said, “I feel that this matter is a little too big. I can’t make up my mind now. The final decision should be made by you.”
“Alright.” The mysterious man breathed in deeply. He faced Hong Dali and smiled. “Dali, you stay here for a while. I’ll discuss a few things with them. After I return, we’ll discuss the issue of possession.”
“Ah... Alright, no problem.” Hong Dali nodded his head as he staggered. This chap had yet to sober up. “These few grandpas can go ahead and get busy... We will rest here first...” As he said so, he collapsed onto Li Nianwei’s lap...
“Great, hehe. This point about this rascal is the best—he isn’t nosy, but his drunken behavior isn’t that nice...” All in all, the mysterious man was still very satisfied with Hong Dali. He pulled the Bureau Chief along at once. Together with An Yangxu and the others, they went to a corner at one side.
