Listening with bowed head to Gu Shenghui's almost roaring tirade, Pei Yan now had a kind of self-deprecating disposition, knowing the other was worried for him, so he allowed the spit from those black teeth to splatter on his face, yet his heart was still immersed in the wonderful feeling of flying just now, and his mouth couldn't help but turn up.

"Laugh! You still dare to laugh! Looks like I can't control you anymore! Go back and double the word count for inspection! Rewrite if it's not deep enough!" Gu Shenghui scolded loudly, even more furious at Pei Yan's expression.

Hearing this, Pei Yan immediately shrank in a show of grievance. Elder Lin stepped forward, pulling Gu Shenghui and persuading him, "Alright, a few words are enough, we'll talk later. There's still the process to follow, don't waste time, so many leaders are waiting!"

"Did you hear that? Why are you still standing around blankly? Go to Engineer Li, we'll deal with you later!"

"Oh!" With a special pardon, Pei Yan ran to Engineer Li's side as if escaping, and seeing the other make a thumbs-up at him, he could only shrug helplessly.

"Engineer Li, what equipment are we absorbing next?" Pei Yan asked excitedly.

"It's still those previous materials, but this time according to your requirements, we've provided high-temperature and cold-resistant tech products, and there's not just one type of steel for you, carbon steel, alloy steel, each has a ton delivered for military steel purposes, along with a large amount of synthetic materials, so you can choose what you need most after absorbing all at once!"

"Good! Great!"

Just as Pei Yan excitedly reached out to touch the box, Engineer Li grabbed his wrist and cautioned again: "The authorities have invested heavily for you today, just half a destroyer's worth of money went into this! I've vouched for you! During the effect demonstration later, you must try hard and not let me down!"

"So much money! I understand, Engineer Li, I definitely won't let you down!" Seeing the worried look in Engineer Li's eyes, Pei Yan confidently and firmly responded, grasping his wrist in return.

The entire absorption process lasted a full hour and a half. In the sky, light rain began to fall again. Some leaders returned under the long canopy, while others, shielded under soldiers' umbrellas, stood in the rain watching with keen interest as Pei Yan absorbed one item after another into his body.

"How was it!" Once Pei Yan finished absorbing all the materials, Engineer Li stepped forward to ask.

Feeling the changes in his body with delight, Pei Yan asked, "The feeling isn't bad! Is there more?"

"Yes! Based on your phone call yesterday, your system reminded you that you can now absorb other gunpowder equipment for transformation, so we prepared this for you!"

As he spoke, Engineer Li led Pei Yan to three container trucks, patting one of the vehicle bodies and said, "Here we have Type 08 man-portable rocket launchers and various types of rockets, a full three hundred rounds! Don't worry about disassembling; you can absorb them together with the truck!"

Five minutes later, task completed, Pei Yan patted the remaining two trucks and asked with a smile, "Engineer Li, what's inside these two left?"

Having long been accustomed to Engineer Li saving the best for last, Pei Yan was filled with curiosity about the contents of these two trucks.

Facing Pei Yan's mischievous grin, Engineer Li solemnly said with a stern face, "This is one of the crystallizations of our national academy, and currently the weapon best suited for you!"

Hearing Engineer Li's words, Pei Yan put away his smile, straightened up, and waited for Engineer Li's introduction.

"Inside is a specially designed electromagnetic cannon for you and its special shells. Although this device hasn't yet been deployed in combat, the technology is mature. In this truck is the first electromagnetic cannon ready to be put into combat, apart from experimental models around the country! You're lucky to be its first user!"

After listening to Engineer Li's introduction, Pei Yan was also incredibly excited, slowly placing his hand on the vehicle body, which was absorbed along with the body. Upon the mechanical hand touching the items inside, a feeling of excitement and greed from within surpassed any previous absorption experience.

"Alright! What's next for me to do!" Staring at the training ground, now empty again after his absorption, Pei Yan clenched his fists and shouted out spiritedly.

At an unknown time, the rain in the air ceased, the clouds dispersed, revealing the setting sun already leaning west, and after Engineer Li signaled to the grandstand, Pei Yan felt the ground trembling slightly, looking up, tanks drove into the training field under the slanting sunlight.

"Surely they don't expect me to go head-to-head with them?" Pei Yan turned his head towards Engineer Li and asked, looking at the line of tanks parked a thousand meters away.

"Show the electromagnetic cannon you absorbed! Destroy them, don't worry, these are tanks that have surpassed their service life and were originally meant as targets, to show its power to the higher-ups! Can you do that?"

"No problem!" Pei Yan waited for the tank drivers to evacuate. After the grandstand signaled to begin, he extended his arms, shouting, as countless streams of metal gushed from his body, deforming and solidifying around him, while his arms began to lengthen and thicken, gradually refining and transforming into the shape of a rail cannon.

All the leaders on the grandstand at this moment stood up, looking in Pei Yan's direction on tiptoes, afraid to miss a single detail. They saw Pei Yan transform into a massive turret fixed firmly to the ground after completing his preparations.

"Boom!" A deafening cannon sound echoed, and those prepared beforehand had already put on earplugs. The rapid-fire shell broke the sound barrier at Mach 8, lifting a blast of air, causing dust to billow across the training site. The gust lifted the canopy top of the grandstand and blew the soldiers' caps into the sky.

Following was a series of explosions. A few minutes later, once the dust settled, Vice Admiral Zhang adjusted his military uniform, took the reclaimed military cap from a soldier, placed it on his head, ignored the soldier's protest, and jogged out from the grandstand to the scene of destruction.

Ten tanks aligned in a row; six were completely destroyed! The remaining four, upon inspection, also lost their combat ability, needing repair. The most severely damaged tank was almost unrecognizable, with the entire body ripped apart, scattered around the training field.

Vice Admiral Zhang bent down and picked up a still-warm fragment of the tank, respectfully asking a major general arriving under crowd protection, "Academician Ma, what do you think of such destructive effect?"

"Is this the hidden power of the state? It's really unbelievable that such individuals truly exist!" Academian Ma received the fragment, looking at the wreckage before him, and then gazed at the young man in the distance. Everything that happened today overturned his previous understanding of the world; superpowers really do exist in this world!

"Academician Ma, what do you think of this?" Vice Admiral Zhang saw him dazed and went forward to ask softly again.

"The power is sufficient, already reaching the level of experimental models and even more powerful. If possible, I'd like to see how it affects solid structures and record the data!"

"Alright, I'll arrange a time!"
