Chapter 204 Disaster(1/4)
The food in the canteen of the Qingbing Station is really not good. If he didn't have something to talk about, Li Xuewu really wouldn't want to stay here.
Even though the old uncle treated him warmly and shamelessly, he still felt that the food here was not as good as the cooks in the branch.
At least the cooks there can make "gasoline" or "diesel" flavored meals, but the cooks here are very good at their craftsmanship.
Faced with the mutterings between the brother-in-law and brother-in-law, Li Zhengfeng just pretended not to hear them.
He dared to pull Li Xuewu's ears and despise this kid when it came to weapon design, but his family knew about his family affairs and the cooks there were not very good at their craftsmanship.
But there's nothing we can do about it. It's hard to find chefs at this time, and those with good resources are trained by each unit themselves.
Can anyone enter the light military station?
The cook here is of course the best in identity verification. In other words, the cook's skill is not important.
So, Li Xuewu and Gu Yan sprayed the cook, and Li Zhengfeng also wanted to spray, but he had to save some face for himself.
"You can't stop your mouth if you eat for free."
Li Zhengfeng glared at Li Xuewu, then plucked at the rice in the lunch box with a bitter look on his face.
Gu Yan and his brother-in-law looked at each other and smiled, avenging the old man's endless nagging during the gun inspection in the morning.
After finishing the meal, the three of them went to the laboratory on the first floor. Li Xuewu had a lot of things to do today, and Li Zhengfeng also wanted to go home early, so no time was wasted or delayed.
Li Zhengfeng pushed open the door of the laboratory, waved to the researchers who were reading, and then led Li Xuewu and the others inside, stopping at the last workbench.
"etc"
While he was talking, he took out a lot of bits and pieces from the big box next to the machine, and they were jingling.
Gu Yan looked at it and asked Li Xuewu quietly: "What are you doing? Collecting rags?"
"Hey! Why are you talking!"
Li Zhengfeng seemed to have taken care of it, and threw a lot of things in his arms on the machine operating platform, and took out a lot more things.
"How can you say that the things designed by your brother-in-law are all junk, right, Comrade Li Xuewu?"
Li Xuewu knew that his uncle was talking nonsense to him, so he walked to the operating platform and looked through the pile of things, but he said unwillingly: "The design may not be shabby, but if the engineer's skills are not good,
It’s not certain what you create.”
"Hey! You have such an unforgiving mouth!"
Li Zhengfeng threw the last pile of things on the platform, then waved his hand to Li Xuewu, indicating to him to find a stool to sit on.
This is the processing and experimental workshop of the Light Weapon Research Institute. It has various precision lathes and is a hand-made production platform for prototype weapons.
In other words, before any light weapons are industrially produced, a small part will be manufactured here for experimentation and improvement.
Just like the concept cars of later generations, the researchers here also hand-rolled samples according to their own project designs.
What Li Zhengfeng now frees up for Li Xuewu is made from the soul design drawings and plans he received from the other party some time ago...
Let’s call it test product first, and then call it garbage if it doesn’t work.
"Let's talk about weapons first."
Li Zhengfeng watched the two people sit down, stood still with his hands on the platform and asked: "The comprehensive production base you built in Gangcheng only produces one kind of firearms?"
"Yes"
Li Xuewu nodded clearly and said: "The weapons currently installed in the army are all organic. Even if excellent weapons are designed, the replacement cannot be completed in a while."
Li Zhengfeng just wanted to recommend to Li Xuewu some small weapons that were being tested in his research institute, but he was rejected by his words and didn't know what to say.
Of course he understood what Li Xuewu meant. Today's individual weapons have just been uniformly installed. It is necessary to update the Type 56 gun family. It is not that the Light Weapons Institute does not have good products, but that mass production and economic pressure do not allow it.
Do you really think that the research institute cannot produce good weapons?
It's nonsense, isn't it? If you want to say that making trouble may have some technological content, but if you want to make a gun, it's just like crossing the river by feeling the stones. Just take the one that works well and measure it with a vernier caliper. It's still easy to imitate.
Otherwise, why do you think Li Zhengfeng gave out the production design plan for the SVD sniper rifle so quickly? He is not very experienced.
Just like cars, if Li Xuewu had engineers from the Beijing Automobile Factory, he would have finished the engine and gearbox technology long ago, and might have completed industrial production design by now.
Of course, the reality is that it is impossible for Beijing Automobile Factory to give these technologies and engineers to the rolling mill. Although there is no awareness of confidentiality, the technical achievements and achievements can be regarded as the foundation of the factory.
Li Xuewu is not stupid. The steel rolling mill does not have the ability or resources to take on big jobs. The first weapons production line has not yet been built. How can he dare to think of something bigger?
Just look for a precision sniper rifle. The demand for this thing is high, the demand is low, the production process is strict, the production level is standard, and the most important thing is the materials.
The key is that this thing can be produced for many years. Even if a variety of more advanced weapons appear in later generations, SVD still retains a certain position in the weapons trading market.
Now of course it is a good gun, a high-level designed weapon, and it will definitely be popular in the country.
As long as it is built, it will be a necessary weapon whether used as city defense or team support.
In other words, you can sell it as soon as you make it, without worrying about inventory backlog and no risk of losing money.
Li Xuewu wants to build a production base, not store high technology. Making money is the first priority.
Li Zhengfeng thought for a moment, then rummaged through the cabinet and found a box, brought it to Li Xuewu, and gestured: "Would you like to see the pistol we designed?"
“Don’t really want to see it”
Li Xuewu spread his hands and said: "I don't think it is necessary to replace the May 4th Type, or have you heard that there is a definite plan to change the style?"
Li Zhengfeng twitched the corner of his mouth and said helplessly: "Can you give me some face? You are confident in recommending the sniper rifle, but you didn't want to try the pistol?"

Li Xuewu didn't even touch the box. He was really afraid that if he did, Li Zhengfeng would force him into the project.
Gu Yan was very curious. He took the box and took a look. The name tag on it said the code number of the weapon in the gun box: 663842.
"Let me see?"
He shook the box in his hand, glanced at his brother-in-law and his brother-in-law's cheap uncle, and pretended to open it.
Li Xuewu turned his head indifferently, not wanting his eyes to be touched by the other party.
Li Zhengfeng waved his hand in defeat, indicating to Gu Yan that he could look around as this was his territory and there was nothing to keep secret.
"Let's watch it, let's watch it. It's best to let your brother-in-law watch it after finishing it."
Gu Yan smiled, opened the box and found a small pistol placed separately.
The reason why it is called a small pistol is because this gun looks smaller than the May 4th type he is using.
Holding it in my hand and playing with it, it seems very strange. At least this gun looks more pleasing to the eye than the May 4th type.
The Type 54 gun is stupid, big, black and thick, and it's dead heavy. I'm tired of using it. I don't know how powerful this gun is, but it's a lot lighter.
Li Xuewu ignored him because he knew clearly that it would take more than ten years for the Type 54 pistol to be reloaded. This thing was a pure concept product.
Can a weapon that cannot be produced and fielded still be called a weapon?
"Let's talk about the bullets of the sniper rifle."
Li Xuewu knocked on the workbench and reminded: "If you have a sniper rifle, you must have sniper bullets. You can't use conventional ammunition. Isn't that gun made in vain?"
As he spoke, he pointed to the Type 56 semi-automatic hanging on the wall and said, "I'll use this thing, it will save you all the effort."
Li Zhengfeng drooped his eyelids and hummed: "You don't need to remind me, I am a professional."
"At least I'm more professional than you!"
It seemed that he was complaining that Li Xuewu was unwilling to take a look at the research projects in his institute, and then he explained helplessly: "It's just a matter of setting up a firearms production line. Just leave the ammunition to our institute's factory. It's not easy."
Li Xuewu was really impressed by the old uncle who was so aggressive when begging for food.
He doesn't care who the bullet production is handed over to, he just needs the other party to ensure that the supply is completed. After all, making guns and making bullets are not the same thing.
Making guns requires confidentiality, but making bullets requires strictly prohibiting fireworks, not steel plants.
He didn't mind handing over this troublesome and worthless small business to the factory under Qingbing. As Li Zhengfeng said, it's not easy for anyone at this time.
After the two agreed, Li Zhengfeng took out a dagger from the workbench and threw it casually in front of Li Xuewu.
"I don't know what you think. I don't even have confidence in pistols, but I have a soft spot for these cold weapons."
"You don't know this~"
Li Xuewu picked up the dagger on the workbench and knocked on the table. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Zhengfeng and said, "You will have some experience after you join the company and go to the front line to fight a few times."
As he spoke, he began to look at the dagger that he had just tested for material sound. It was exactly the same as the one on the drawing he gave to Li Zhengfeng.
Not to mention how good the dagger was, Li Xuewu raised his head and praised his uncle with a smile: "Director Li, your understanding ability is really good."
"You still have the nerve to say it!"
Li Zhengfeng glanced at him and took the box of guns away from Gu Yan. His stingy look made Gu Yan laugh.
When he came back, Li Xuewu was already gesturing with his brother-in-law with the dagger.
"You see, conventional fighting techniques with reverse grip on the handle are more suitable for killing and threatening"
Li Xuewu held the black dagger in his hand and showed Gu Yan how to hold it and how to kill it.
Gu Yan listened with his eyes wide open in surprise. He really didn't know that his brother-in-law was so knowledgeable.
On weekdays, he looks like a veteran cadre, walking leisurely, holding a teacup, sitting on the sofa with his legs folded, and always has an amiable smile.
