Taking advantage of the opportunity of the competition to attract the attention of the soldiers, Chen Dashan obviously succeeded.

In particular, he pocketed all the dozens of good cigarettes distributed by his superiors, and only a few people got a few packs, which also succeeded in attracting the hatred of all the soldiers.

After Yang Wei appeared to tell the soldiers that they were not defeated in marksmanship, but in the guns in the hands of Chen Dashan and several others, many soldiers were attracted by the new rifle that could see clearly at a long distance and can effectively assist in aiming.

Immediately, Chen Dashan announced that the top five in today's competition will be the people who will use these sniper rifles in the next round.

This immediately made a lot of guys who made mistakes beat their chests.

"Of course, a good gun, everyone wants to play, in the future, we will hold a marksmanship competition every month, and those who can beat the person with this gun in their hands will become the new winner......" Chen Dashan obviously knows how to mobilize the soldiers' enthusiasm for training.

In a word, all the soldiers stared viciously at the five people led by Yang Wei who were holding the newly obtained sniper rifles.

"Battalion commander, let's do this, the higher-level leaders will definitely have opinions when they know about it. In this way, the bullets of our guard battalion are not enough to consume at all! Instructor Hu Mingcheng obviously knew that this would violate the principle.

"We don't need to consume bullets for Type 5 or 6 rifles, just some machine gun rounds. Take turns with these new guns. Liu Yijiu said with a smile, "Our new rifle is still an experimental product, and the guard battalion undertakes the task of performance testing, so naturally we need to use this gun more." Moreover, what is the service life of this gun, and whether it meets the design requirements, these are the targets of the test. In order to comply with the test, I will have the base produce twenty more samples. ”

Liu Yijiu's words made Hu Mingcheng breathe a sigh of relief.

The base bears this responsibility, and it has nothing to do with the guard battalion. The base has funds for project experiments, so naturally it will not care about the consumption of bullets during these tests.

"What? Twenty more samples? Liu Yijiu, how high the cost of this gun is, you don't know! Moreover, the experiments of the first batch of samples have not ended, and the data has not yet been reported! Hearing Liu Yijiu say that he would add twenty more of this new sniper rifle to production, Xie Heping, director of the third district, had no opinion, but Zheng Hao was a little dissatisfied.

Although he had great expectations at the beginning of this project, no matter how long the range was and how lethal it was, it was obviously not as good as the artillery. What's more, the production cost of one of these sniper rifles is 1,800 yuan! Plus more than six hundred scopes, that's two thousand four!

An ordinary skilled worker in the base only receives forty or fifty yuan a month!

And those bullets, a bullet is not expensive, only a few cents. But these bastards can consume more than two thousand bullets a day with five guns. After the transfer of this shot to the guard battalion, those guys did not stop. If it weren't for the fact that the shooting range of the guard battalion was far away from the base, the people at the base would have rebelled long ago.

These guys consume the wages of several workers a day!

"Leader, here is the first phase of firearm performance test data. All kinds of experimental data are in line with the design indicators. Therefore, we hope to start the second phase of performance testing. At present, only five guns are used, and the guard battalion uses them too frequently, or in a few days, these guns will reach the designed service life......" Liu Yijiu called the thick stack of data records in his hand to Zheng Hao.

Seeing Chen Dashan staring at him with a smile on his face, but this smile made Zheng Hao think of what was hidden, so he immediately waved his hand helplessly and said to Liu Yijiu: "I'll write you a note, and you go to your director." ”

With Zheng Hao's note, Liu Yijiu immediately left happily.

"Xiao Liu, this gun is used like this, even the best materials can't withstand a few days of tossing. If you find them to practice this method, more than 10,000 yuan will be gone in a few days. Director Zheng said that you can only allocate a maximum of 50,000 yuan for research funds. 18,000 was allocated to Factory 298, and we have 32,000 left......" Xie Heping didn't seem too happy when he saw Liu Yijiu appear with Zheng Hao's note.

The annual funding of the base is not very large, and even if some research funds are given this year, the total amount of funding is only two million. Compared to other places, these two million are already a lot.

Most of the money is skewed towards other areas.

"There are only five guns, and there are more than 600 people in our guard battalion, and one person only shoots three bullets a day......" Chen Dashan couldn't help muttering when he heard this.

"Battalion Commander Chen, this is a sniper rifle, not an ordinary rifle. The average soldier in your army only has five rounds of ammunition a month, right? "Xie Heping is still very familiar with the situation at the base.

"Factory director, otherwise, let's go to the higher authorities to ask for production indicators. If there is more production, won't we have the funds? Liu Yijiu was also in a hurry on the side.

To develop a weapon, it is certainly not possible to have less research funding.

The development fund for a sniper rifle is only 50,000 yuan, and no one believes it.

Fortunately, it is also Liu Yijiu, the parts of these rifles are all machined, if you want to make molds, I don't know how much it will take.

"Don't count on that. Our Ninth Courtyard base is not an ordinary base. Only if the project can be reported and the higher-level leaders are satisfied, will more funds be allocated......" Xie Heping shook his head. Liu Yijiu belongs to the researchers in the third district, and if the funds given by the base are lacking, they will make up for it by themselves.

After all, the credit is to the entire regional base.

"Then let's go outside and find someone from the SC Provincial Department of Industry. Don't they have a lot of orders in their hands? Ask them to go with an order! Liu Yijiu gritted his teeth and said.

In the era of the planned economy, it was not easy to make some money!

"Don't count on it. The money they give will not be much, after all, all products are allocated according to the cost! "It doesn't work.

"No, leader, don't the money they give have a high scrap rate? Under the careful implementation of our seven-specialty technical agreement, these scrapped products can also be turned into good products, and this part will be our profit...... You can see the production under the technical regulations of the seven specialties...... "not to mention the present, even in the future, many times if they want to engage in some projects, they have to raise their own funds."

Don't ever count on selling technology, after all, they are a military-industrial unit.

However, they can use their idle production capacity to undertake some technically difficult production tasks of the local industry department.

"That's fine. But we won't be able to solve the problem in the short term! Xie Heping thought about it, the samples of the five sniper rifles used in the last experiment were basically not scrapped, which has to be said to be a miracle.

If they all follow this model in the production process and effectively control the defect rate, wouldn't it be?

"Doesn't our base have production tasks now? Follow the seven-specialization model. As long as the quality can be effectively controlled, the bonus should be enough for our project. Leader, I'm going to design more guns...... "After the sniper rifle was assembled, Liu Yijiu was thinking about designing a gun family that could replace the five or six guns that the troops are currently using.

Although the first choice is Bayi, some of Bayi's defects also have to be improved.

This makes him need a lot of research funding. These research funds can be said to be a very small part of the research compared to other departments in the country. At the very least, these guns don't need to be demonstrated, and at the same time, because of the prototype, the need to constantly modify the design and manufacture samples during the experiment is also much reduced.

What's more, the current samples are processed by machining, rather than stamping by making molds!

"Okay, Comrade Xiao Liu, don't worry about showing your ambitions, I'll solve the financial problem!" Xie Heping solemnly promised to Liu Yijiu.

Although Chen Dashan is also the boss of the base management committee, he does not have much power over the affairs of the base, especially in terms of project funds.

"Battalion Commander Chen, these sniper rifles are not for all soldiers. It is only used for tactical use in the event of a covert mission and a stalemate on the battlefield. Therefore, this kind of training method of yours is unacceptable. "Since the project funds are very small, and after they spend 20 years of production this time, they don't even have the cost of bullets, Liu Yijiu naturally has to ask Chen Dashan to change his strategy.

There's no way around it.

The country has been poor all these years, and the huge country has only a year's fiscal revenue?

It's not bad that the base can have two million.

And he gave 50,000 yuan for a sniper rifle, and it can't be said that Zheng Hao doesn't attach importance to this project.

"So what do you say? The people in the guard battalion have seen the power of this, where do they still have the heart to use five or six half? Chen Dashan also smiled bitterly.

I didn't think of this question at all in the first place.

"It's not like there's nothing to do. When we usually train, we directly use five or six and a half to train, and then if we have good marksmanship, we can practice sniper rifles. In this way, the soldiers can have a greater sense of honor. In addition, these guns are almost worn out now, especially the barrels, in just a few days, you have scrapped several barrels, and this barrel is one or two hundred yuan! The task of a sniper is mainly to conceal and lurk, you can train these first......" Liu Yijiu also had to make this decision in order to let Chen Dashan save his funds.

"......" Chen Dashan was speechless for a moment.

"Camp Commander Chen, let's go, go to my design room, you look at that thing, make sure you like ......" Liu Yijiu didn't leave Chen Dashan time to regret it, so he took him to his office.
