We Said It Was a Private Company: What's with the Supersonic Missiles?

At a United Nations General Assembly meeting one day, representatives from around the world slammed the table in outrage: “What do you mean your private company can take on an aircraft carrier?” “What do you mean your private company can launch hypersonic missiles?” The Rabbit representative took a leisurely sip of tea, utterly unruffled. “It’s not exactly high-tech. A little back-alley workshop can whip it up. Got a problem? Take it up with my useless private company.” In 1991, the Gulf War shocked the world, as the US military’s information warfare capabilities crushed those of every other nation. That same year, Chen Rufeng, a genius engineer from Harbin Institute of Technology, was reborn in a small county town in northern Sichuan as the third generation of a factory-owning family, with his father gone, his mother nowhere to be found, and creditors at the door. From the start, all he had was a bankrupt noodle factory and countless debts. He also had an oddly designed [Innovation Tech Compendium System]. The first entry he unlocked was a hypersonic missile. It was a fine missile, but the design was a little outrageous: Warhead: made of concrete. Thermal insulation: foamed concrete. Control surfaces: also concrete. Staring at the concrete missile design in his mind, Chen Rufeng fell into deep thought. And so, in a dilapidated little city in the 1990s: Noodle machines were refitted into rotorcraft, aerial three-wheelers, pressure-cooker mines, flammable and explosive gas canisters, drone swarms, aircraft carriers, hypersonic missiles... From then on, a smiling private company joined the players at the table of global military power.
