Tranxending Vision - Chapter 762

Chapter 762: 762

With the loan settled, Xia Lei could finally rest easy . The Thunder Horse Organization was also freed from the shackles of monetary burden and were ready to take things one step further .  

Following that, the Sweeper underwent multiple thorough testings with returning results that proved its superiority over similar international products . In conclusion, the Thunder Horse Organization’s Sweeper was at least fifteen years ahead of the current serving state of the art infantry fighting vehicles in Europe and America!

That came as a shock to many who were skeptical, but the truth was before them .  

Xia Lei went ahead to register multiple patents for Sweeper’s technology, obtaining more than a hundred different patents for it . The most impressive among them was the Thunder Dragon intelligent lathe’s core components and the various optimized design of Thunder Engine .  

Proudly, Xia Lei was ready to send Sweeper over to France for the Parc des Expositions de Villepinte International Army Weapons Exhibition as soon as it cleared its remaining tests .  

Although he was fully aware that the current exhibition was approaching its end, he was reluctant to wait for another two years for the next one . Sweeper’s advancement was worthy of a reveal during the world’s largest military weapon exhibition and it shall receive the praise and respect it deserved .  

Needing to lay low, Xia Lei was unable to go to France so Liu Zhengnan was assigned for the task instead . With him and Qing Caiyue in charge of the Sweeper’s debut, Xia Lei was assured that it would go smoothly .  

At Jingdu International Airport, the Sweeper was carefully loaded into a military transport aircraft .  

Right beside the busy Y-20 military aircraft, Xia Xue held Liu Zhengnan’s hands tightly, reluctant to let go .  

Her unwavering grip had rendered Liu Zhengnan in an awkward position . “Hey, don’t be like this, your brother is still nearby . He’ll surely tease us if he sees this . ”

The scene didn’t go unnoticed by Xia Lei’s watchful eye . Liu Zhengnan and Xia Xue made a great pair . Xia Lei was glad that his sister had found her other half, someone she could lean on for support and solace .

“Make sure to wear more layers and keep warm in France . Try not to catch a cold, okay?” gushed Xia Xue .  

Xia Lei failed to hold his laughter at that . “Xia Xue quit being so mushy! Zhengnan might be unfazed but I’m suffering from intense goosebumps now!”

His sister turned to glare at him . “Shut up! Keep talking and I’ll ignore you forever!” 

Xia Lei snorted in response .  

“Alright, I need to leave now,” announced Liu Zhengnan, face red from embarrassment .

“Wait . ” Xia Xue lifted her chin, her dainty features illuminated by the sun . “Kiss me . ”

“I…” Liu Zhengnan wanted to die . The embarrassment was too much! Xia Lei was still right beside them! 

Xia Lei may be thick-skinned but this was getting too much, urging him to turn around to give the love birds some privacy .  

“Are you going to kiss me or not?” whined Xia Xue . “No more kisses for you if you don’t kiss me now . ”

That was a severe punishment .  

Liu Zhengnan dared not hesitate another second, he pulled her closer by the neck to capture her cherry red lips .  

Xia Xue hummed, melting into her lover’s embrace .  

One minute passed .  

The sight of them kissing was so passionate that everyone around them averted their gazes elsewhere .  

“Uh… cough cough . ” Xia Lei decided that he had enough . “That’s enough, are you two not done yet?” 

That finally prompted the lovers to draw their lips apart, Xia Xue and Liu Zhengnan were blushing furiously .  

“Brother, I’ll be taking my leave now,” announced Liu Zhengnan to Xia Lei .  

The latter nodded . “Go, do your best and I’ll pick a good date for you two . ”

“Brother, I’m not getting married so soon!” whined Xia Xue .  

Xia Lei laughed at the display . “Hey, a good date doesn’t necessarily mean a wedding . Why are you so desperate to be wedded? I meant to arrange a day for Zhengnan’s parents to come and visit Father . Only then will we pick a date for the wedding” 

“Hmph! I’m talking to you anymore!” pouted Xia Xue .

“Hahaha!” Xia Lei laughed so hard that he doubled over .  

Irritated, Xia Xue came running over with her small clenched fist . Xia Lei quickly avoided her and soon, the siblings were chasing after each other . The track was filled with his boisterous laughter .  

A day later, at the Parc des Expositions de Villepinte in Paris, things were starting to go underway .  

Hoards of reporters, higher executives of European and American military enterprises, engineers and international customers came swarming into the Thunder Horse Organization’s showroom . No one had expected something so formidable to come from them . People were mocking Thunder Horse as they had only showcased three light weapons since the exhibition began . But things were different now . The organization had shipped over its own military vehicle right before the event came to an end . It was obviously a challenge to the other manufacturers saying “Watch out!” 

The Sweeper was proudly displayed in the center of the showroom . Its almost fictional appearance and majestic aura gave it a very cool image . However, its appearance wasn’t the main attraction . Everyone marveled at its features and equipment instead! With its maximum speed at a hundred kilometers per hour plus its impressive features like the in-house designed thirty-millimeter machine gun, hellbound one-soldier cannon, heavy machine gun, reactive armor, and defense system . This vehicle was superior to anything that had ever been produced .  

But a new issue had appeared for the western hemisphere . How did China, a country that was behind in many fields, manage to produce such warfare technology? Producing a vehicle was very different from producing a gun . It was infinitely more complex . Till now, China had failed to produce a single car engine, so how was the existence of Sweeper even possible?! 

No one understood it and many were reluctant to accept reality .  

“This is impossible,” commented a baffled Mark Amin amongst the crowd . “With my estimations, Thunder Horse Organization’s infantry fighting vehicle would’ve required a year before it was ready for its production line . Even if they made one, the overall functionality should be behind our technology by twenty years . The Sweeper is undeniably advanced! I’d even say its fifteen years ahead of our current capabilities . I won’t comment on the others but there is absolutely no way they could’ve designed the engine . ” 

“Could they have imported the engine from Russia?” commented a senior engineer working for Rheinmetall AG . “Perhaps from Ukraine?” 

“From what I gathered, Thunder Horse Organization did, in fact, outsource some minor spare parts from Russia and Ukraine for its engine . They also bought some parts from their domestic market but the core was produced in-house . ” A woman voiced from the back .  

Mark Amin turned to face its source . He was greeted by the sight of a pretty face adorned with the dainty features and smooth skin of the far east but also blue eyes and chiseled structures akin to that of a caucasian .  

She went by the name of Hattori Mei . Who was the current chief assistant directly under Lockheed Martin’s CEO, Madam Folsom . Lockheed Martin was the ace of America’s military industry . It had its own information network and could even access shared information from the CIA database . It only made sense for her to know more than Mark Armin .  

“Miss Beryl, you’re saying that its engine was a genuine product of Thunder Horse?” Mark Armin still found the idea odd . He believed that Thunder Horse Organization was capable of producing the best gun in the world but definitely not the world’s most advanced infantry fighting vehicle .  

“Mister Mark Armin . I understand that the truth is difficult to accept . But this is reality, it’s already a fact . ” Hattori Mei continued, “Now that Thunder Horse Organization had entered unchartered territory, I think it's best for a collaboration to happen between Lockheed Martin and Rheinmetall . I’m sure you’re clear on what needs to be done moving forward, right? “ 

At this very moment, Qing Caiyue made her appearance and it didn’t take long for her to be surrounded by reporters .  

“Miss Qing, did Thunder Horse Organization really designed and produced this vehicle?”

“Yes, of course . I remember you . You were the one who commented that our company is only capable of producing light weapons and is unworthy of a spot here . Right now, I’m proud to say that the Sweeper is the most advanced of its kind and most definitely far superior to the European and American models . ” 

Women were the best at holding grudges and Qing Caiyue was not an exception . Who would have expected her to remember said reporter and even ridicule him in front of a crowd . If Xia Lei was here, he’d probably be stuck between complimenting her impressive memory or to laugh at her pettiness .  

“You claim that this is the most advanced military vehicle in the world . Do you have any evidence to back that up?” questioned another reporter .  

“Well, our Director Xia has made it clear . He welcomes any similar product to challenge its status,” stated Liu Zhengnan . He continued, “If you could contact any relevant companies and prompt them to challenge us, be it Rheinmetall or Lockheed Martin, we will gladly accept it . ” 

Heated discussions erupted across the floor .  

Challenging the two biggest internationally renowned military aces straight on was Xia Lei’s wish . It was also part of his business strategy .  

It didn’t matter if any of them would actually act on the challenge . Thunder Horse Organization would be bound to receive mass attention over such a daring stunt . If they decided to ignore it, the mass media would surely label them as cowards . It would be most ideal if they could agree to it, though Sweeper’s advanced technology would surely wipe them out with ease . With that, Thunder Horse’s advertisement funds could be cut down as the victory would surely become great publicized! 

“Isn’t that Rheinmetall’s Chairman, Mister Mark Armin?” mentioned a reporter . The reporter quickly went forward with his mic aimed towards Mark Armin’s face . “Mister Mark Armin, what do you…” 

Before he could even utter the next word, Mark Armin had turned away and left . The stubborn reporter who wanted to pursue him further was quickly halted by his bodyguards .  

Meanwhile, Hattori Mei was facing the same situation .  

“Miss Beryl, would Lockheed Martin respond to Thunder Horse Organization’s challenge? What are your comments on behalf of your company?” asked the reporter .  

“Challenge us? That’s absolutely ridiculous coming from an unheard-of company . Thunder Horse is unworthy of our time . We’re not going to do anything about it . ” That was all Hattori Mei commented before she left . Her bodyguards quickly blocked off the other reporters .  

She made a phone call as soon as she exited the hall . “Father, I think you should bring your men from Mitsubishi to study Thunder Horse’s Sweeper…”
