From afar the turret looks terrifying, up close you see five pairs of road wheels.

This phrase, familiar to military enthusiasts, refers exactly to the 59 Tank.

The 59 Tank always carries a mysterious allure, a model that remains timeless and ever vibrant.

It is China's first self-developed main battle tank, and the word "first" often brings with it a sense of mystique.

The 59 Tank was the first domestically replicated main battle tank, modeled after the neighboring big brother's T-54A in the 1950s.

It was officially equipped and put into service in 1959, which is how it got its name, following our local naming tradition.

The prototype of the 59 Tank, the T-54/T-55, had a total production of over 100,000 units, making it the most produced tank in the world.

Simultaneously, the 59 Tank was in continuous production from 1959 to 1985, with a total output of over 10,000 units.

In terms of quantity, it undoubtedly holds first place domestically.

Additionally, the 59 Tank is the model with the most variants.

This is also the part that military enthusiasts love to talk about, even becoming a meme.

It can be said like this.

Almost all local tanks are closely linked to the 59.

And the fact that the 59's variants have become a meme is not only due to the internet's fanbase.

It's also because it keeps getting crazily modified.

The tanks you see in parts of Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa are probably modified 59s.....

Back in the honeymoon days, the bunny and the eagle even started a Cougar Project with the 59 Tank as the base.

The craziest current version of the 59 modification might be the Alizah version.

The 105mm smoothbore + reactive armor is downright insane, altered to the point where even its mother wouldn't recognize it, yet it remains a modified 59.

The 5 road wheel chassis + egg-shaped cast turret, that's the standard 59 imprint.

Just like seeing the phrase "XX furrowed his brow and retreated behind the others" and knowing who wrote it, the five pairs of road wheels on the 59 are deeply ingrained in people's minds.

Returning our focus.

Why was a core imprint inscribed on a modified 59?

This needs to be explained from the start.

The core imprint of a magical artifact belongs to the domain of the Talisman Research and Development Team, also a part of the decryption project.

Realizing they could only craft the shell of the magical artifacts without decrypting the core, Hua Jun quickly sought assistance from Patriarch Wei and others.

Being an imaginative armor expert, Hua Jun naturally wouldn't pass up this opportunity—thus, he specifically asked Patriarch Wei to craft an additional core.

And inscribed it on a newly upgraded modified 59.

That's right.

Inscribed on the modified 59.

Currently, there are over 400 tanks in the Damo Realm with the bunnies.

Among them, about a hundred are 99A, and some are light tanks like the 62B.

The rest are all modified 59s, about 150 or so.

As Huaxia's top armor research expert, at the level of associate deputy chief engineer, Hua Jun found arranging a few modified 59s to be extremely easy.

Not only the Talisman Research and Development Team has such authority, but other groups have it as well.

For example, Tang Pin's team researching firearms often tinkers with some strange and unusual weapons for fun.

And Liu Zhenhan's side too.

The Demon Beast Research Center often studies demon beasts and then holds team-building barbeques—otherwise, where do you think the seasonings and equipment for the Yuanzhou BBQ come from?

Each research team has some freedom, as long as they don't neglect their main duties.

To be precise, a modified 59 costs only over three million Huaxia currency.

It would be unusual if a top academician-level team didn't have this autonomy.

Even those who need to update 8000 words daily, like Guguniang, have plenty of break time after typing.

Of course.

It's uncertain how much time is actually left; some people still owe time.

Considering that Cao Yi's breakthrough required a vast amount of magical artifacts, which were cumbersome to transport.

Hua Jun and others chose a practice room close to the research center, an area not very populated, perfect for breakthroughs.

Thus it happened.

The modified 59 conveniently parked nearby, just about 70 or 80 meters away.

Plus, Cao Yi activated the Heavy Spirit attribute.

The sudden surge of divine consciousness rapidly covered the surroundings, eventually locking onto the modified 59....

"You're telling me I now not only have two magical artifacts, but one is a main battle tank, and it's not like Qiao Biluo's?"

By the control panel, a bewildered Cao Yi looked at Hua Jun:

"Academician Hua, don't mess with me. Let me tell you, I've read a lot, a proper police academy graduate here."

Hua Jun glared at him and snorted coldly:

"Can't you tell if it's real or not?

Just move your spiritual thought, would you?"

Cao Yi immediately fell silent.

Actually, even without Hua Jun's hint, he could sense it.

In his mind, two items seemed vaguely connected to his bloodline.

One of them was obviously the Soul-Severing Sword behind him.

Whenever his spiritual thought stirred, the sword would resonate with a soft hum.

If he issued a command, the Soul-Severing Sword would fly out to slay an enemy.

The other item was extremely unusual...

This item was nearly a hundred meters away, and its massive size was evident in his mind.

Unlike the Soul-Severing Sword, that item was incredibly difficult to mobilize.

If moving the Soul-Severing Sword was like picking up a phone or a roll of paper towels,

then moving that colossal thing required strength like carrying a fifty-kilogram sack of rice.

Not unmovable, but very challenging.

Seeing that Cao Yi seemed to have recovered well, Lin Li proactively suggested:

"Everyone, staying indoors won't get us any results.

So why don't we go out and see what's going on with the tank Cao Yi refined?"

Everyone agreed to this and walked out one by one.

The tank was close to the house, and with just a few steps, they reached it,

staring at the giant camouflaged machine, Cao Yi's eyes were filled with complex emotions.

This complexity included confusion, strangeness, disbelief.

And also excitement and anticipation.

This is a freaking tank!

Which man didn't have dreams of tanks or airplanes as a child?

Airplane dreams mostly turned into dreams about flying planes, but tank dreams never changed!

Meanwhile.

Hua Jun went to the tank's side, sighed resignedly, and introduced:

"This modified 59's prototype is 59D, developed in 1991, finalized in 1994.

The tank weighs 37 tons, with a long-barreled 83A 105mm rifled tank gun.

But of course.

Besides the chassis, this tank bears little resemblance to the 59D anymore.

The main gun has been enhanced to a 125, equipped with numerous automatic sensors.

The hull and turret front are fitted with explosive reactive armor, headlights relocated to the right fender upper side; overall performance is standard for a third-generation tank.

Do note, these were the stats before our arrival in the Damo Realm—"

Hua Jun deliberately elongated his tone, paused, and looked deeply at Cao Yi:

"After entering the Damo Realm, this 59 underwent another round of modifications.

Along with some talismans added internally for driving, we also equipped it with a new breakthrough spiritual energy armor.

This composite armor, developed from a spiritual energy shield prototype, is just 300mm thick yet offers defense comparable to the M1A1's 700mm front armor.

Reduced thickness significantly enhances the tank's agility.

Moreover, this armor can block certain vibrations and chemical gases.

It's currently our most advanced type of armor, non-mass-producible grade special material.

I can even say this.

At the same thickness, this armor is the best domestically!"

Hua Jun seemed like a father lamenting over his precious little green cabbage being taken away, his tone filled with strong reluctance and disdain for the slob-like suitor.

What he said wasn't exaggerated at all.

This armor indeed couldn't be mass-produced yet; he applied for the modified 59 to verify some practical results.

Unexpectedly, it was snatched away under his nose.

He then sighed lightly and said to Cao Yi:

"Xiaocao, why don't you try to control this 59 to take off?"
