Canon DSLR. How to deep zoom?

Hello, I own a canon eos 1300d with the stock EF-S 18-55 mm lens.

I recently saw a similar price tag camera, namely the Nikon COOLPIX P900, and on a youtube video, I see that it can zoom as much as 83x, giving stunning moon closeups.
I went into a online shop, and saw that in the specifications, they do mention 83x optical zoom.

So, does that mean the Nikon has that deep zoom built in? Or it comes with a zoom lens?
And how it can have 83x zoom if the zoom number is the result of dividing focal lenght numbers?
Please help me understand.
Just search on youtube:
