With her eyes bulging, Ling Qingyu muttered and watched the vehicle carefully, 3D animation, so that as her finger scrolled the screen, it also changed the camera perspectives.
She didn't understand the vehicle specifications but she knew US military HuNovelFireee was like a baby in front of the two beasts.
She listened to Tang Ziyi's description, along with AR animation's help from Athena in her glasses.
MRAP—Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected—as the name suggested, served to guard the occupants inside the vehicle from the dangers of mine.
The vehicle had a 6x6 chassis and 700 horsepower engine, with an automatic gearbox with 7 forward and 2 reverse speeds.
The innovative feature of both front-wheeled and rear-wheeled steering enhanced its maneuverability.
It had a range of 800 km and its maximum speed could reach 120 km per hour. This new armored modular wheeled vehicle would be capable of carrying out missions such as transport, combat, combat support, medivac, and other dangerous tasks.
The combat weight was 25 tonnes but could be increased by substituting another baggage space of 5 tonnes.
The internal volume of the vehicle was more than 15 cubic meters, including 5 cubic meters of storage space. Its dimensions consisted of a length of 8m, a width of 2.55m, and a height of 2.80m.
The vehicle could carry 12 passengers behind in addition to the driver and co-driver at the front. More capacity for transport could be easily accomplished by a slight modification, at the cost of losing comfort and space.
Athena and Tang Ziyi designed the vehicles, with the help of data around the world and her personal combat experience, with multiple doorways.
The driver and co-driver could leave through the side doors provided toward the front. The passengers could leave through three exits from the rear, and two sides in the middle.
There were also two rear roof hatches and one front roof hatch. The armaments were customizable and the vehicle design left many possibilities.
Underneath the vehicle, the V-shaped double-layer monocoque hull was an all-welded armor, offering level 4 protection.
It could withstand a blast of 20 kilograms TNT underneath of anywhere under the hull. The specially produced wheels could also withstand the same amount.
Tang Ziyi boasted this vehicle should rank top 1 in the world, patting her chest proudly. Ling Qingyu could only stare at these specs in astonishment.
Awesome, very awesome, very very awesome. Only these words fluttered in her mind. Noticing Tang Ziyi exhibiting arrogance, Ling Qingyu got annoyed.
If it wasn't for Athena's help, hmph, Ling Qingyu snorted but she had to admit Tang Ziyi also played an important role in the design too.
"Is this the one giving you confidence?" Ling Qingyu asked curiously. She must nod her head despite the reluctance, Tang Ziyi possessed sufficient tools at her disposal.
"And you got the phrase—Go home G.I.."
Ling Qingyu choked again and retorted. "It's not like yours got your ass whooped."
"Alright, I think we digress from the topic." Tang Ziyi exhaled and gave up, arguing.
Ling Qingyu nodded. "No matter what, your red doesn't exist in this world."
Tang Ziyi smiled helplessly. It was the truth. Revolution began 200-300 years ago and there wasn't any time for the red to spread. "Now, I'm blue."
Ling Qingyu rolled her eyes and said. "Hey, isn't it weird, your production of this modular armored vehicle is fast and you still haven't finished modifying my Bentley. Until my hair turns grey, will I be able to drive my own Bentley?"
Tang Ziyi coughed: "Ahem...That...The production was Athena's and I personally modify the vehicles, because it's my hobby."
"Okay, I guess you have finished my Bentley, right?"
"Yes, I'll leave that to Athena, now that there aren't any safe vehicles for you at the moment yet." Tang Ziyi replied. "Athena, please help me finish your mother's Bentley and drive it toward her company."
"Yes, Aunt." Athena's reply was also heard in Ling Qingyu's ears. She understood Athena must have utilized the autonomous driving ability of her Bentley.
Suddenly, her eyes narrowed as she remembered. "Sister Tang, if you roll these two beasts into the public, will we attract attention? Is the gain worth our loss?"
Tang Ziyi shrugged. "It's your call. Sacrificing something if you want to save your sweetheart and help her in the process or do nothing and watch the situation in our City worsen."
It was indeed contrary to Ling Qingyu's original plan. Even though no one would connect her female guards, who would pretend to be SWAT, with Ling Qingyu, the attention received could blow her cover too.
"You and I both understand, that an iron fist is needed in the city. We all are familiar with how Cartel works back in our world." Ling Qingyu said. "We must never set up such precedence in our city. Otherwise, it would be more troublesome to deal with them in the future."
Tang Ziyi nodded her head heavily. She knew what Ling Qingyu meant. Every time an important Cartel member was captured or arrested by the authorities, they would create chaos across the city until finally the authorities released the criminals, and it stopped.
Although it hadn't occurred yet in City N, the current issue was getting similar to Cartel's. Like someone refusing to negotiate with terrorists, the city must have someone who would willingly do violence to control violence.
"Finally," Tang Ziyi showed her invention on the screen to assure Ling Qingyu. "This is the armored clothing, utilizing some of the nanotechnologies. It's soft, and light yet very resistant against bullets. The clothing also included a cooling system inside to prevent overheating and Athena and I have tested, it could withstand pistol rounds easily and tolerate 7.62 mm caliber.
However, there would be tears and the user will feel some pain."
Ling Qingyu was flabbergasted, watching the bi-product of Tang Ziyi and Athena in amazement.
