With Wu Tianming's entrustment, Lu Jiadong and Liu Liang left Sanlin City early in the morning and arrived at the Wanshan factory in the afternoon of the same day, but Lu Jiadong hurried to the factory after returning without caring about the fatigue of the journey, preparing to go to Chen Zhen to discuss matters related to the sniper rifle.

At this time, Chen Zhen was in his office with Xinghua, Yang Limin and Hu Qinghua, who were sitting around, studying the construction of the new factory, the installation and commissioning of new equipment, and the progress of the current weapons project under development in Wanshan Factory.

"Please come in!"

As soon as Chen Zhen's words fell, the door of the office was forced to open, and when he saw the person walking in from outside the door, the teacup that Chen Zhen picked up was instantly put on the table, with a kind and kind smile on his face:

"Haha, Xiao Lu, you came in time, we have something to ask for your opinion!"

"It can be said that Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!" As soon as Chen Zhen's words fell, Gao Xinghua, who was sitting on the side, said with a smile: "When we were talking about when Xiao Lu would come back, you pushed the door and came in!"

Listening to Gao Xinghua's words, several people in the office had happy smiles on their faces, if Lu Jiadong was in normal times, he would also flash a faint smile, but at this moment, Lu Jiadong not only couldn't see a trace of a smile, but his expression was extremely solemn.

Seeing this, Chen Zhen couldn't help but put away the smile on his face, and looked Lu Jiadong in front of him up and down: "Xiao Lu, is it possible that there is something wrong with the new factory today?"

Not only Chen Zhen, but also other people in the office noticed Lu Jiadong's heavy expression with a little anger, so when Chen Zhen asked, everyone looked at Lu Jiadong suspiciously, wondering what made Lu Jiadong, who was usually not very angry, so angry.

Fortunately, Lu Jiadong didn't let the people around him wait too long, and when Chen Zhen's voice gradually fell, Lu Jiadong opened his mouth to respond, although his tone was very flat, but there was unspeakable pathos between his words:

"Wu Tianming was seriously injured and almost died!"

Listening to Lu Jiadong's words, the people in the room were all shocked, speaking of this Wu Tianming is also a legend of the Wanshan Factory, although he has not served as a military representative for a long time, but during his tenure, the Wanshan Factory has completed the development and production of Wanshan guide rails, 78 series of firearms, and gun-mounted grenade launchers.

Because of this, although Wu Tianming stayed in Wanshan Factory for a short time, he is a well-known figure, and almost everyone here has worked with Wu Tianming, even if it is a newcomer Hu Qinghua, he also has a very deep impression of Wu Tianming on the firearms test ground back then, not to mention that Wu Tianming also has a kinship relationship with Chen Zhen, so when Lu Jiadong finished saying this, Chen Zhen immediately got up from his seat:

"What the hell is going on? Why is he injured?"

As soon as Chen Zhen's words fell, Lu Jiadong told the people in the office in detail how Wu Tianming was injured, how he transferred to the rear, and how Sanlin's injuries worsened for treatment.

Unlike the people present, Lu Jiadong did not have a trace of happiness on his face, but frowned vigorously and continued:

"I was deeply touched by the encounter of Tianming and the reconnaissance team, we don't have the same type of weapons and equipment to fight against, and the result will inevitably lead to a sharp increase in casualties among the front-line soldiers, it is true that these loveliest people will exchange their flesh and blood for the final victory, but why don't we, as swordsmiths, sharpen our swords?"

After listening to Lu Jiadong's words, Yang Limin, who had been silent, read Lu Jiadong's thoughts, so he cleared his somewhat hoarse voice and said:

"Little Lu, do you want to develop a sniper rifle?"

"That's right!" Lu Jiadong nodded: "I think that at this stage, the high-precision sniper rifle is the urgently needed equipment of our troops, otherwise, with the Type 78 firearm in our hands, it is simply not enough to compete with the Soviet-made Dragunov sniper rifle in the hands of Vietnamese monkeys!"

"I have seen the sniper rifle in foreign-related materials, and it is an extremely effective lethal weapon!" Listening to Lu Jiadong's words, Hu Qinghua, who was sitting next to Yang Limin, took a sip of the tea in front of him, but then a trace of sadness hung on his white face:

"However, although the sniper rifle is an excellent firearm, the processing technology is very complex, in addition to the barrel needs special processing, the starting point of the development of the whole gun is to improve the accuracy of hitting, so every part must go through strict design and accurate processing to form, so the foreign army will also call the sniper rifle a work of art, and this does not involve special bullets, large magnification scopes and other supporting equipment, because of this, the development of sniper rifles for our Wanshan factory is not"

Although Hu Qinghua's words were not finished, everyone present understood what he meant, although this kind of firearm that can be called a work of art is very good, but it is not suitable for Wanshan Factory, which is used to making replicas, none of the people present dared to give a positive answer, so everyone's eyes focused on Lu Jiadong.

At this time, Lu Jiadong couldn't help but cast an approving glance at Hu Qinghua, this Hu Qinghua is worthy of being a genius in the military industry, and he has a wide range of weapons and equipment that even Lu Jiadong sometimes has to be amazed, just take the sniper rifle that is being discussed, now at this time, many people don't say that they have seen it, and they have never even heard of what a sniper rifle is.

But Hu Qinghua can talk about the sniper rifle to the point, not only that, but what is even more commendable is that he can also explain the core technology involved in it clearly, which makes Lu Jiadong marvel and can't help but be very happy, after all, if there is one more person who understands sniper rifles, the progress of development and the speed of solving difficulties will be greatly accelerated!

Because of this, when Hu Qinghua finished speaking, Lu Jiadong's face showed a smile that he hadn't seen for a long time: "Hu Gong is right, the development of sniper rifles is indeed much more difficult than ordinary firearms, but it does not mean that our factory does not have the technical strength to manufacture such high-end firearms!"

Lu Jiadong said and picked up the teacup in front of him, took two sips lightly, and then continued: "In the production and manufacturing of firearm components, our factory does not lack relevant experience, as for precision machining, I think it is not a big problem to have gold medal masters like Li Deshun and Master Li;

In terms of ammunition, we have just captured from Vietnam in the technical information there is a full set of manufacturing process for the special bullet 7N1 of the Soviet-made Dragunov sniper rifle, as long as it is optimized on its basis, and finally in terms of design and development, our factory has both Hu Gong and Lao Yang such military all-rounders, as well as rising stars such as Liu Liang and Chen Zihao, so we don't have to worry about this!"

Listening to Lu Jiadong's words, everyone present nodded in agreement, not only that, but they all added one in the hearts of these people, that is, Lu Jiadong, the technical core of the Wanshan factory, it is because of him that these advantages just mentioned will be effectively kneaded together to form a high-speed manufacturing machine, but at this time, Lu Jiadong didn't have time to care about other people's thoughts, and after a pause, he continued:

"Although our factory has a certain technical strength, but it is not without shortcomings, for example, we can't make a sniper rifle scope, but we can go to Zheng Yongbo's old director Guinan Precision Machinery Factory, you must know that in addition to the production of ammunition and fuses, their factory also undertakes the processing and manufacturing of some optical equipment, in this regard we can seek the help of the old factory director!"

As soon as Lu Jiadong's voice fell, everyone present agreed with Lu Jiadong's opinion, but at this moment, Gao Xinghua, who was sitting opposite Lu Jiadong, slowly locked his brows:

"Xiao Lu's idea is really good, but how should we apply for the approval of this new gun? You must know that our previous practice of hanging a grenade launcher on the gun has been banned by the Department of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense.

"Don't we still have surplus funds in our factory, can we use it in the development of sniper rifles first?"

"There were some surplus funds in the factory before!" Listening to Lu Jiadong's words, Xinghua couldn't help but nodded, but then the conversation changed: "But with the start of the new factory, the surplus funds in our factory are basically filled in the construction of the new factory, and now the remaining money in the factory is only enough for daily expenses, which is not enough to support the development of new guns!"

"Secretary Gao is right!" As soon as Gao Xinghua's voice fell, Chen Zhen couldn't help frowning and took over Gao Xinghua's words: "The money in our factory is really not too much!"

Chen Zhen and Xinghua's words are right, although the new Wanshan plant is invested by the state, but this investment is not fully covered in all aspects, and there are some small things that need to be funded by Wanshan plant to make up for it, but although these things are small, they are also a large number on a large scale, so not long after the start of construction, the surplus funds of Wanshan plant have been spent almost seventy-seven eighty-eight for more than a year, and they are simply unable to support the so-called new project!

Because of this, the words of the factory director and secretary were like a basin of cold water in the cold winter, which instantly extinguished the hope that had just ignited in the hearts of the people present, and at this time, Lu Jiadong frowned, lit a cigarette, and sat there and smoked sullenly
