• Lin Chenran explained that the factory chose the Type 59 as its blueprint because it lacked the design experience of larger tank manufacturers, but insisted its magical modifications made the new tank far from outdated.
• Lin Chenran described the tank’s 120mm smoothbore cannon, coaxial machine gun, and proposed V-46 diesel engine options rated at 760 or 700 horsepower.
• Old Wei questioned whether Mao Xiong would sell the engine technology and production lines, and Lin Chenran argued that Mao Xiong might agree because of its economic difficulties.
• Lin Chenran said the tank could use domestic engines if importing the V-46 failed, and explained that the factory also intended to sell the tanks overseas.
• Song Xiyun suggested buying a similar engine from Eagle Country if Mao Xiong refused to sell.

Lin Chenran presented the 077 Machinery Military Factory’s second-generation main battle tank plan, including plans to source engines for export variants and a breakthrough in special steel. The military leaders learned the tank’s specifications and compared it with rival designs, while the new steel remained untested.

• Lin Chenran explained that the factory would use American-made components for export tanks sold to countries such as Sha Country, while prioritizing the V-46 diesel engine from Bear Country.
• Lin Chenran announced that the factory had independently developed special steel several times stronger than the steel currently used domestically, but said it still required testing.
• The military leaders considered the steel’s potential impact on Flame Nation’s weapons and equipment, including nuclear submarines.
• Lin Chenran outlined the tank’s low profile, sloped armor, and integrated fire-control and NBC protection systems.
• The leaders and factory representatives reviewed the design, and Old Zhu and Su Yiming recognized that their own tank plans were outdated by comparison.
