8: The country is about to rise!

A gunshot rang out.

The enormous impact sent dust flying from the ground.

Wang Hu was also shaken silly by the shock.

Even so, he didn't lie on the ground to alleviate the discomfort the impact caused his body.

Tensing up, he got to his feet.

This time, the shooting distance was adjusted back to the initial three hundred meters.

He had full confidence in the anti-materiel sniper rifle he developed.

Ten steel plates stacked together were too thick, a full thirty centimeters.

But a single steel plate was only three centimeters thick.

How thick is three centimeters?

Even a slightly more powerful sniper rifle should be able to penetrate it, right?

Not to mention the anti-materiel sniper rifle he developed.

He was a top student who graduated from the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

And he had also worked in other Research Institutes for a period.

Later, due to his outstanding ability, he was promoted to the Research Institute he is currently in.

The Weapon Research Institute he is currently in is one of the top Research Institutes in the country.

How many people would break their heads trying to get in here?

Of course, people weren't here for the benefits, but for the glory!

Everyone who came here was a top researcher.

To be a member here meant working for the country and contributing to the people.

This was supreme glory!

And the research project he was responsible for was firearm manufacturing.

After many years of accumulated experience at the Research Institute, he was already thoroughly familiar with all kinds of firearms.

That new type of sniper rifle just now was his proud work after accumulating many years of experience.

If it couldn't even penetrate such a thin steel plate, then he wouldn't need to stay and work at the Research Institute; he might as well go sweep the streets.

"Quick, give me the binoculars."

Because the sniper scope was covered in dust, it wasn't very clear to see through.

Wang Hu didn't have time to slowly wipe it and directly asked his team member for the binoculars.

He was eager to know the result.

The team member originally wanted to see the steel plate.

But just as he raised the binoculars, before he could check, he was interrupted by Wang Hu's urgent voice.

No choice.

Who told Wang Hu to be his squad leader?

Taking the binoculars, Wang Hu impatiently aimed them at his eyes.

Vaguely, a scene of the steel plate being twisted and deformed by the bullet had already appeared in his mind.

Calibrating his vision, the scene three hundred meters away began to appear before his eyes...

The sun was high, and the heat was unbearable.

The team member pulled out a piece of cardboard from somewhere and was fanning himself to relieve the heat.

The next second, he heard a clang.

Looking up, he saw the black binoculars had fallen to the ground.

The originally black binoculars were now covered with a layer of muddy yellow.

"Captain, you're not that weak, are you?

It was just moving two steel plates and firing one shot.

How could you not even hold onto the binoculars?"

The team member grinned and joked.

The sweat beads on his cheeks just happened to slide into his mouth along his parted lips.

"Ptooey, ptooey..."

Tasting the saltiness, he quickly spat out the sweat from his mouth.

Looking up, he realized that his Captain was still frozen in place.

His eyes were vacant, as if he were in a daze.

"Captain, Captain?"

The team member curiously reached out and waved his hand twice in front of his eyes.

However, the latter had no reaction.

He seemed to have truly become a lifeless statue, motionless, not even blinking.

"Why is he stunned?

Did something go wrong with the target?

It shouldn't be.

The recoil of this sniper rifle is so strong.

Shouldn't it be easy to penetrate a steel plate?"

The team member was a bit curious.

What happened to make his Captain so confused?

Picking up the binoculars from the ground and looking into the distance, he immediately understood why Wang Hu was stunned.

The steel plate target three hundred meters away was still standing perfectly intact in its original spot, only it was no longer flat.

Perhaps due to the bullet's impact, the flat steel surface had become slightly twisted.

Even so, there was only one more silvery-white mark on it.

The bullet hole he imagined still hadn't appeared.

"Are you crazy! Is a single steel plate this hard???"

The guard's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

He couldn't believe his own eyes.

It was understandable that ten steel plates couldn't be penetrated, but how could even one steel plate not be penetrated now?

What the hell is this!

Isn't this steel plate known for its worst quality?

How come now even a sniper rifle comparable to a Barrett can't penetrate it!

The scene in the binoculars stirred up huge waves in people's hearts, unable to calm down for a long time.

Wang Hu snapped back to reality amidst the team member's exclamation.

He only felt his heart churning.

What he had just witnessed with his own eyes made him feel incredibly unbelievable.

When did the quality of the steel plates from Guo Li Steel Factory become so exaggerated?

You know, this was an anti-materiel sniper rifle!

With one shot, even a 16-centimeter homogeneous steel plate could be penetrated.

Now, it couldn't even penetrate a thin three-centimeter steel plate.

Who would believe this if it were told?!

How many countries in the world can produce steel plates that can withstand an anti-materiel sniper rifle?

A handful!

Even their Rabbit, for now, hasn't mastered this technology.

To be able to block an anti-materiel sniper rifle with just three centimeters of thickness.

This can no longer be described as exaggerated.

Only terrifying!

If such steel plates were used in armored vehicles and tanks, what would happen?

Wouldn't even cannon shells fail to penetrate them!

If used in helicopters and fighter jets, would their performance significantly improve?

If used in infrastructure, would the motherland flourish?

Thinking of this, Wang Hu's breathing involuntarily quickened, and his entire heart was inexplicably excited.

The country is about to prosper.

The country is about to prosper!

If there were truly such steel plates, the future of the nation would be immeasurably bright!!

As for whether the sniper rifle's power was insufficient?

Wang Hu immediately rejected this speculation.

If the sniper rifle's destructive power was insufficient, then the bullet would not have shattered into fragments upon hitting the steel plate.

The bullet's original shape couldn't even be recognized.

Therefore, this was not about the sniper rifle comparable to a Barrett being inadequate.

It was that the steel plate was too hard!

"Captain, are you sure these are the steel plates brought from Guo Li Steel Factory?" the team member suddenly turned and asked.

"Of course. I personally went to get them; there's no mistake." Wang Hu nodded.

He also didn't expect the quality of Guo Li Steel Factory's steel plates to have become so good.

In the past, the quality of those steel plates could only be described as poor.

Could it be a technological innovation?

Just then, a voice came from not far away.

"Wang Hu, how did the experiment go?"

In their shock, both of them looked in the direction of the voice.

They saw a figure, also dressed in a military green short-sleeved shirt, slowly approaching.

Although the newcomer's steps were slow, his gait exuded an air of authority, inspiring awe without anger.

When the newcomer got closer, Wang Hu and the team member immediately showed broad smiles.

It turned out to be their superior, Zhao Zhenghua, the Director of the Army Equipment Research Institute, who had arrived.
