Chapter 639: Success
What would be the difference between a jury made up of a large group of military personnel and a jury made up of a large group of technical experts?
That's not a very easy question to answer. However, if the jury was composed of a large group of technical experts, it would probably not have made a decision to pass or fail if it had been subjected to a test firing test of a "new fully automatic machine gun" such as today. They will ask you to come up with detailed technical information, and then pick out the words for you one by one, be sure to find out a little bit of the trivial problem, and then as an expert opinion, ask you to improve. It is likely that the final decision will be that "after being revised and improved according to the expert opinion, the next stage of work can be moved".
But there was a large group of soldiers. Military personnel are not very tech-savvy. So if you ask them to look at a lot of documents and materials that you have prepared, it is estimated that they will not understand them. There's a good chance they'll be able to catch a few typos for you if you have to read it. But the soldiers' feelings about this weapon and equipment are the most direct. Because they are the last ones to use these weapons and equipment directly. When they get to the battlefield, the weapons and equipment that are sent to them are their most reliable helpers. So whether a weapon is good or not, they can feel it when they look at it. And apparently, this new machine gun has already conquered them on this proving ground. Therefore, in the face of Deputy Commander Shen's question, there was almost no doubt that those officers who had a general star on the tip of their collars or who were about to hang a general star gave a positive answer.
Of course, since everyone is now so eager to equip their troops with such an attractive weapon, they will agree that this experiment should be considered a success. Because if it is not considered a success, it means that the machine gun will have to go through another round of design and refinement. And that is bound to take a while. In this case, it will take much longer to equip yourself with this machine gun. How could these officers endure it.
Of course, this does not mean that these servicemen are irresponsible with weapons and equipment. Instead, they have their own focus. Everyone knows that if they are willing to spend time on the research and development of a weapon, the weapon that has been carefully crafted will definitely be a masterpiece. But for them, as long as a weapon is enough and durable, whether it is delicate or not is not their concern. And this "new fully automatic machine gun" has proven its ease of use and adequacy in the tests just now. As for durability, of course, not equipping the troops for a while, who can give a positive answer? What's more, they also saw just now, this machine gun doesn't need people to operate it at all. Didn't you see that Xiao Peng Company Commander as an operator, in fact, he just pressed a button? Who wouldn't do that?
It can be said that after seeing that Peng Weining could easily complete the operation of the machine gun, and then the machine gun could automatically find targets and carry out strikes, the hearts of those officers who watched the ceremony were tickled. Their interpretation from the eyewitnesses is that this new machine gun is actually quite simple to operate. This also means that as long as it is equipped in its own troops, it does not need much training, and it can immediately form combat effectiveness. Coupled with the striking effect they saw, for the troops equipped with this machine gun, it was like playing a game. For such a weapon with unique superiority, if they still stupidly don't hurry up and find a way to get their hands on it, but stick to some unspoken rules, and must delay it for a while before approving it, won't they have a hard time with themselves?
Therefore, following the question of Deputy Commander Shen Jianguo and Shen, almost everyone present said in unison that the test launch was a complete success. Some people even asked Shen Jianguo, are there any extra tests left? If you don't have one, let's fix it quickly. Then everyone went back and made a report and applied that the new equipment must be assigned to their own troops.
Seeing everyone's enthusiasm so high, Deputy Commander Shen's heart was also beautiful. What does this mean? This shows that the creativity that his daughter came up with is strong. See what new weapon has such a sensation after a short demonstration? No! That is, what kind of machine gun invented by his daughter will make everyone see it, and they will be red-eyed. That's talent.
Deputy Commander Shen, who is beautiful in his heart, of course, will not tell everyone at this time that this weapon is not for sale now. Because this research was carried out entirely by his own daughter, and there was no investment from the state, none of the factories can produce it now. If you don't produce it, you just make more reports, and if you can't get it, you won't be able to get it. So if you want to equip it in your troops, you might as well wait.
China's military industry implements a strict access system. In other words, in this era, all weapons must have come from the arsenal. And the arsenal is all state-run. Of course, there are two kinds of state-run ones. One is dual-use technology, which is under the control of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense. The other is purely military, that is, it is managed by the arsenal directly under the army. And no matter which caliber the factory wants to produce a weapon, then this weapon must have received a national batch number. And a weapon like Shen Yiyi, which is completely self-funded and independently developed, has not yet been approved by the state, and of course there will be no national batch number, let alone be produced in any arsenal.
Of course, Deputy Commander Shen will not disclose this truth to everyone at this time. Otherwise, he would have to deal with the question of why privately invested research could enter the barracks to assemble the tests. Something like this is something that is meant to be done quietly under the countertop. There's no need to let everyone know and cause a big uproar. And Shen Jianguo also knew that his daughter's next step was probably not to find her father and her grandfather to see if she could move the state to purchase the production rights of this invention from her. He knew that his daughter was a little money fan. The weapon she invested money in developing was not going to be given to the country for free. Therefore, it is necessary to achieve the phased goal at this time, and there is no need to be sideways.
After getting everyone's approval, Deputy Commander Shen was confident enough. He tapped the microphone, indicating that he had something to say.
There is a rule in Chinese officialdom in general, although it is not explicitly stated, but because the power of habit has become very common. If there is a cough or a tap on the microphone from the speaker, it means that the leader is about to speak. At this time, as a viewer or listener, they will cooperate to stop talking and listen carefully to what is said in the microphone.
In fact, the one who paid the most attention to this possible conclusion about today's shooting test of this machine gun was the R&D team. At this moment, Old Man Zhao Manhong, Liu Yihao, Wei Yuan, Zhan Hao, Liu Qian, Yang Qiu and even Peng Weining all pricked up their ears. They knew that after so many busy days and so many people contributed their ingenuity, this epoch-making new piece of equipment was about to be judged at this moment. In the end, whether they have basically completed the entire research project or not, they will get a conclusion given by Deputy Commander Shen on behalf of the military region.
At this moment, everyone's heart in the whole team is beating very strongly. Even Liu Yihao, who was still there just now arguing with Old Man Zhao that the great lethality shown during the second test firing of this machine gun did not conform to the original design intent, no longer emphasized his understanding at this time. He turned his gaze to the podium to hear the jury's verdict on the test.
Deputy Commander Shen is actually a person who doesn't pay much attention to official authority. Born in the military, his usual personality is straightforward and neat, so he didn't take it more seriously, but after integrating everyone's opinions, he directly announced the results.
"Now, on behalf of the jury and the observation team, I would like to officially announce that the new fully automatic machine gun, which was jointly developed by Tsinghua University and our Capital Military Region, has been successfully tested in two rounds of firing at the shooting range of the Capital Military Region."
With the announcement of Deputy Commander Shen, it officially marks the completion of the entire design process of our army's first actual combat robot, which started with a simple concept from Shen Yiyi. Of course, there are follow-up problems with the integration of control units that Shen Yiyi himself is also concerned about, but those are only some small changes in the structure, and they will not constitute any complex research tasks. Therefore, the members of the research team at the scene knew in their hearts that after the completion of this important node, everyone could really take the data obtained here and go back to the school to complete their respective graduation theses. And everyone also understands that once this paper comes out, it must be up to the level of excellent papers in school. At this moment, everyone's hearts can be described as extremely excited.
Of course, those on the rostrum have not had time to experience the psychological activities of the R&D team at this moment. If they think about it, they can guess that any researcher must be quite excited and excited when they are faced with the verification test of their own research results. They will also be able to come to the test site today and be happy to be able to witness the results of an eye-opening weapons test. Such joy also made them enthusiastically applaud when Deputy Commander Shen officially announced the success of the test of the new fully automatic machine gun. Because while applauding, they all thought in their hearts that the next thing they had to do was to go back and make a report and apply to equip their troops with this new type of weapon that was about to be finalized and produced.
Different from the review meeting held indoors, this kind of acceptance review conducted in an outdoor setting such as the shooting range, such as the result directly announced by Deputy Commander Shen, actually indicates the end of this acceptance shooting test. And if it weren't for the military, the congress could have been disbanded after the words that the host had announced the success of the experiment were uttered.
But this is in the army, and in the army everything is about orders and forbidden. Therefore, even if Deputy Commander Shen has already announced the success of the test, everyone is not allowed to leave casually after applauding. The rule in the army is that the meeting must be convened by the chief to announce the "disbandment" before everyone can leave.
It's just that everyone didn't wait directly for Deputy Commander Shen's sentence of "disbandment". On the contrary, after Comrade Shen Jianguo announced the success of the test, he stepped down from the rostrum and walked to the position of the design team gathered around the shooting position. He would like to express his condolences to these researchers who have been working on such a new weapon these days.
Deputy Commander Shen knew that these classmates were all classmates of his daughter. And in the end, these classmates who were able to come to their own barracks must be talents that their daughters trust academically. Since it's my daughter's classmate, I have to say hello to everyone. This can be regarded as a good relationship with everyone for the sake of his daughter. Otherwise, in the future, after these daughters' classmates know about their relationship with Shen Yiyi one day, they think that how can they, who are fathers, even hold a stand when they meet their daughter's classmates, and have a misunderstanding of themselves, it will definitely affect their evaluation of their daughter. Comrade Shen Jianguo did not want to see this.
After coming over, Old Man Zhao and Peng Weining certainly knew who this was. Even Liu Yihao and several of his students at Tsinghua University didn't know about this high-ranking soldier, and they also knew him as the host who had just announced the success of his research. It can also be seen from the military uniform he wears that he is a unit chief. So everyone was still very polite to Deputy Commander Shen. Like Liu Qian and Yang Qiu, they felt even more excited.
Deputy Commander Shen first greeted Zhao Manhong and Old Man Zhao. The old man is the oldest here. And his technical skills are among the best in the entire barracks. Therefore, as the deputy commander of this military region, Shen Jianguo still has to give up Old Man Zhao. Because those commanders of the entire military region did this when they faced Old Man Zhao.
"Old Zhao, you have worked hard. These days, you must be very tired of spending your age with these children. Fortunately, it can be regarded as a success now, and your hard work and dedication have borne fruit. I want to congratulate you! Deputy Commander Shen said to Zhao Manhong and Old Man Zhao.
Although Old Man Zhao is usually relatively high, as a soldier, the basic superiority and humility still have to be observed. Therefore, Old Man Zhao also responded to Deputy Commander Shen's greeting: "Where, where." To be able to find another revolutionary piece of equipment for our army, this is what I should do.
