Chapter 299 It's them, then it's not surprising.
At the Xiaomi new car launch event, this breathtaking crash test was a complete success!
The test, which was like a visual feast, stirred up stormy waves in the hearts of every witness.
Lei Jun stylishly opened the car door and stepped out with an air of calm composure.
The confident smile still hung on the corners of his mouth, as if the intense collision with the tank he had just experienced was no different from a routine test drive, leaving no impact on him whatsoever.
His calm demeanor was enough to make anyone who saw it marvel!
If it weren't for the fact that everything was being presented without reservation to millions of viewers through the live broadcast lens at this very moment!
Many would likely find it impossible to believe that what they were seeing before their eyes was actually happening.
After all, in conventional wisdom, comparing a car to a tank is like a mayfly shaking a tree—an act of sheer overestimation of one's own strength.
Yet now, the facts were right before their eyes. Millions of pairs of eyes were staring intently at the live broadcast screen; with such clear scenes and vivid details, how could it possibly be fake?
At this moment, the comments in the live stream were refreshing on the screen like a waterfall!
"A car hit a tank, and the car is fine, but the tank's tracks were damaged instead?"
"Today has truly been an eye-opener!"
"Brothers, spam 'awesome' in the comments!"
"Confirmed by the look in my eyes, I am not someone who can afford this car!"
"Why did President Lei have to launch such an awesome car when I'm at my poorest?!"
Whether they were fans of Lei Jun or not, all the viewers watching the live stream were deeply impressed by the heaven-defying performance displayed by this car.
That unimaginable speed, jaw-droppingly low power consumption, ridiculously fast charging speed, plus this invincible collision resistance—
It was simply like a sci-fi product from the future, breaking all boundaries of people's perception of traditional cars.
However, it was not just these ordinary viewers who were deeply shocked!
In the Long Country Armament Research Institute, a group of armament research experts were also staring intently at the screen at this moment!
But their expressions were exceptionally grave, one might even say displeased.
This was because the tank used as the collision test object was the crystallization of their hard work over many years!
It was their masterpiece that they were proud of.
The materials used on the tank were specifically researched by them through countless experiments and analyses, consuming a vast amount of manpower, resources, and time.
This material possessed super-strong defensive capabilities and could easily withstand attacks from conventional shells!
It had always been regarded as an indestructible existence in the military field.
Originally, when they heard from Elder Qin that he wanted to borrow their tank for a crash test, they were full of disdain!
They thought it was just an ordinary test, how big of a deal could it be.
It wasn't until later, when they learned that the object to be tested was actually a car, that they couldn't hold it in anymore!
Using a tank to test the crash performance of a car, wasn't that equivalent to using a stone to test the hardness of an egg?
The result was obvious, what was there to test!
But even though they thought this way, they ultimately couldn't suppress their curiosity, as this matter was simply too contrary to common sense.
Consequently, these usually rigorous and serious experts immediately brought over small stools, like a group of curious students, and waited in the live stream, just waiting to see what kind of result this seemingly "without suspense" test would actually have.
However, the degree to which they were shocked now was exactly equal to how much they hadn't believed it at the beginning.
When they saw the tank they had carefully developed being knocked aside by a car, while that car remained completely unscathed, and their tank's tracks were instead smashed to pieces, they all widened their eyes, faces full of disbelief!
It was as if they were in an absurd dream, unable to believe that everything they were seeing was real!
The tank they developed had actually lost to a car in terms of crash resistance!
In their view, this was definitely one of the most sci-fi and incredible events they had ever seen in their lives.
Just then, a white-haired expert hurried in from outside. His pace was somewhat hurried, and his face wore a grave and complex expression, clearly bringing some important news.
As soon as he walked in, he attracted the attention of all the experts present. Everyone looked at him eagerly, waiting for him to speak.
The white-haired expert cleared his throat and said with a tone of helplessness but also an attempt to pacify everyone:
"Comrades, no need to be disheartened. I have already inquired clearly."
"This car was created by our Long Country's top expert team, and it is a new concept product launched to seize global market share! Losing to it is no disgrace!"
Hearing this news, the experts were stunned for a moment, and their minds began to ponder.
This car was manufactured by Long Country's top R&D team, and Long Country's top R&D team...
Was undoubtedly that mysterious team that single-handedly created the mechs, the Longwei-class Strategic Warship, and the Aerospace Carrier!
In the Long Country scientific research circle, the legend of this team was widely spread, but they were simply too mysterious—so mysterious that even experts like those in the Armament Research Institute did not know exactly who was in this team or how many people were in it.
However, since it was a product created by this legendary team, it seemed that such an unbelievable result was not so hard to accept.
After secretly exhaling, an expert sighed and said:
"So it was them, then it is not surprising."
"I didn't expect that they could design such a powerful car. This crash resistance is even better than our tanks. I am truly impressed to the point of prostration."
Another expert also hurriedly echoed:
"Exactly, exactly! Since it is their work, then I am convinced!"
"If it weren't for the fact that the landscape of war weapons has changed and tanks are no longer necessary to produce, just for the sake of such good crash-resistant material, we would have to find a way to get it no matter what. If this were applied to our armaments, our combat effectiveness would be upgraded by several levels."
At this time, another expert frowned and said with a puzzled face:
"However, such a powerful material must not be easy to develop!"
"We spent so much time and effort just researching the protective material for tanks!"
"They were actually able to use this material on a car and give the car such an abnormal crash resistance! This is simply too amazing."
The white-haired expert listened and said with a complex expression:
"It should be quite difficult to develop, after all, this technology has exceeded our imagination!"
"But, I heard from Elder Qin that their team only spent two days in total to modify this car."
As soon as these words were spoken, these knowledgeable experts, who were long accustomed to scientific achievements, were completely dumbfounded.
