First arrival in the United States, Chapter 11 Ingenuity

Next chapter

No one proudly talks about the 16o years of Colt's 16o year of history, no one talks about what kind of guns the machinery in the factory is used to produce, and no one talks about the business decisions and ridiculous experiments of Samuel Colt, the first generation of the Colter family's founder, like the founding father...... When I walked through the dusty factory on the weekend, the only thing left was the sound of footsteps. ≧≯≯The huge machine was silent and dusty, there was no work of workers in front of the machine, and there was no laughter in the rest room, and the factory that should have been roaring loudly was bowed by little Colt in shame, as if he was glaring at him with angry eyes, like a centenarian looking at his unsuccessful children.

Perhaps, at this time, Colter Jr. was full of regrets, regretting that he could not revitalize the family business, otherwise Colt Jr. might not be able to become the leader of aircraft carrier-level enterprises like Boeing and Rockefeller......

I glanced at him on the weekend, and I could see the pride of the past and the decadence of the present in his gaze, but these opportunities in front of him made the Los Angeles star police detective extremely unfamiliar: "Mr. Colt, don't you want to introduce me to who they are?" ”

Who.

When the word fell on Colt's mind, the scene of time travel appeared in front of his eyes, and the images that he kept recalling in his mind were connected again and again, and finally, the glory of the Colt family decades ago was restored. This is a newly built factory, the roar of machinery and the vulgar jokes of workers at work are superimposed, the lethal weapons that can kill people shine on the production line, and the vehicles escorted by the military drive out of one end of the factory, as if it were yesterday.

"The machine next to you is called Emerson, and it is the big guy who produced the M16 barrel, and it is also the hero who made the M16 the most stable assault rifle in the world." Little Colt sighed, and never looked at the machine, and said: "The name Emerson was given by my grandfather, and he thinks that these big guys who can bring wealth to the Colt family deserve everyone's respect, but it seems that he is the only one who will call it by name." ”

Of course, I don't know if the M16 is the most stable firearm in the world at that time, but Colt's voice continued: "Later, when the war broke out in Afghanistan and the US-British coalition troops entered Afghanistan, the precision company and the Colt company reached a cooperation agreement, and we will provide the US-British coalition with weapons to stabilize the Dìng, so this machine was modified and used to produce the barrel of the L115A3 sniper rifle after a lot of rectification." Now it is only an empty shell. ”

After Colt said this, he stopped all descriptions and slowly closed his mouth.

Weekend glanced back, and the soldier in charge of following him to the factory ran out quickly, and when he returned, he had an all-black sniper rifle in his hand, which was the L115A3 sniper rifle.

"Mr. Colt, are you talking about this gun?"

Colt took the gun and looked at it, and the next second, he squatted on the ground, raised his hand to disassemble the gun into multiple parts, and then took out the barrel and looked at it carefully before saying: "That's right, this barrel is indeed produced by Emerson, but ...... This is impossible, this machine has not been used for at least two years, not to mention that the weapons we produced back then did not leave any inventory, and none of them were sent to the battlefield. ”

After taking a closer look, Colt continued: "No, this gun is all but the barrel, it is, it's all ...... The ...... produced in this factory"

Weekend asked, "Are you sure?" ”

"Of course!" Colt said unquestioningly: "Look at this ......"

Weekend shook his head and said, "I don't know how to shoot." ”

When he said this, Colt immediately lost interest in the introduction, as if he had been hooked by someone and only now ran into a stone-female-: "I mean, there is a clear difference between us and the L115A3 sniper rifle produced by the precision company, and this difference is so big that an insider can recognize it at a glance." ”

"Do you know who Craig Harrison is?"

Weekend reached out and touched his chest, smiled and nodded, the pain still seemed to be in his memory.

Colt pointed directly to the gun in his hand and explained in words that the other party could understand: "The L115A3 sniper rifle produced by Precision Company can allow Craig Harrison to shoot and kill two hostile militants from 2475 meters away, but this gun, after passing the fixed range, will definitely deviate, even if it is still used by Craig." ”

Hiss!

The weekend gasped, and it was not because Craig Harrison was too careful to survive that he had survived to this day, but that the gun was very different from the weapons made by Precision.

"We don't have the rigidity of the British, and after ensuring the stability of the firing and fixed firing range, we do not spare the cost for the performance of the firearm, in the final analysis, Colt Company is a profit-oriented company, and what is written in the contract is only a requirement expressed in the number jù, and our responsibility is to complete the contract. But the sniper rifles sent to the ace snipers by the precision company are completely different, they will maximize the performance of the firearm, their purpose is not exactly to exchange the gun for money, but also to use the weapon to protect the life safety of the ace sniper. ”

The weekend now knows how Colt Company fell, and also knows why the United States has to buy military and police weapons from abroad after having the world's most powerful military industry. Because they stand behind these military-industrial enterprises, they are all businessmen.

The merchant has no ingenuity, and ingenuity only belongs to the artist who tirelessly pursues perfection, even if the artist only turns a nut in front of the lathe, then what he makes is also perfect, otherwise he himself will not be able to stand it. What about Colt? The purpose of a businessman is very clear, efficiency only.

"Excuse me, how many people in the whole of Los Angeles are qualified to return to this factory and turn on this machine without knowing it?"

The weekend asked the key to solving the case, since Colt recognized the gun, then, it is very likely that the gun was produced in this factory, otherwise, this clue will not make sense.

"No one can be."

Colt replied: "Colt is a company with a strict secrecy system, and after we filed for bankruptcy, all the machinery in the company was protected by the government, and it was impossible for anyone to touch these machines 24 hours a day. The point is that the government has taken away a significant part of these machines, and what we see now is nothing more than an empty shell. ”

A sigh of relief slowly appeared from Colt, and he said in a very slow voice: "At that time, this factory was demolished, and I really couldn't stand it, and the grass was assembled little by little after the government protection was withdrawn, and it took me a whole year to restore it to its original state." ”

"Officer Zhou, I've seen your shooting on the news, but if you extrapolate from time, this barrel shouldn't have been produced in this factory, at that time, Emerson no longer had the ability to produce barrels, and I was still assembling its broken shell." (To be continued.) )8
