A sentence of why, like a thunderbolt from the sky, shocked all the technical backbones present.

The Type 50 automatic rifle can be said to be the proudest product of Baiyun Factory, not only because it has been well received by the troops, but more importantly, this gun is completely designed and manufactured independently by Baiyun Factory.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Type 50 automatic rifle is the business card of Baiyun Factory, which is remembered and at the same time, it has also established an unshakable leading position in China's military industry.

However, it is such a product that Baiyun Factory is proud of, but Bai Yi's words completely unveiled the glamorous coat, revealing the ugly and mottled foundation of the period.

Shock, panic, and incomprehension, all kinds of emotions kept flashing on the faces of the technical backbones, and finally gathered into a strong disbelief, which was fixed on Bai Yi on the stage.

"Don't look at me like that!"

Facing everyone's incredulous and doubtful eyes, Bai Yi's response was a little simple and rude, but it was full of force: "Some people may say that as long as a gun that can shoot bullets is a good gun, as for the others, they are secondary, after all, the huge consumption on the battlefield is something that no one can avoid." ”

As soon as these words came out, a few people in the audience nodded in agreement, and even Wang Dehua, deputy director of the drawing room, who had participated in the development of the Type 50 automatic rifle, also looked deeply convinced.

In fact, the low reliability of the Type 50 automatic rifle in actual combat has been fed back to the Baiyun Factory as early as the awareness of the installation, and the relevant improvement plans and plans are not absent, but the Baiyun Factory simply does not have suitable materials and processes to essentially solve the overall structural strength.

It was impossible to carry out the relevant improvement plan, coupled with the huge consumption brought about by the tragic war, and finally led to the 50-type improvement plan being forced to run aground.

But it is precisely because of the attrition of the war that many people have the idea that it is enough, after all, in the face of the flood beast of war, instead of thinking about how to extend the life of the equipment, it is better to settle down and produce a few more useful rifles.

If it weren't for Bai Yi's mention of the Type 50 automatic rifle today, it is estimated that many people here do not remember that this fist product that has brought countless glory to Baiyun Factory still has unavoidable defects.

Because of this, some people bowed their heads in shame, but more people were full of disapproval, jokes, small automatic rifles have long been unable to represent the strength of the Baiyun Factory, only artillery, tanks and even higher-end aircraft are the real endorsement of the Baiyun Factory in the future.

In this case, what else is there to say, hurry up and uncover this article, riveting the high-end atmosphere and high-grade heavy equipment is the king, so when Bai Yi's voice fell, a technical backbone got up and responded: "Chief Bai is right, the Type 50 automatic rifle does have flaws, but in the face of high-intensity warfare, the huge consumption is enough to offset the insignificant defects." ”

"Yes, yes, didn't the new Soviet experts say that the real war is a bottomless pit, and if a third world war breaks out, the life of the existing weapons and equipment will not last even a week."

"Even if we put aside the huge consumption of the war, we should no longer spend on automatic rifles, after all, our Baiyun Factory should focus on more advanced heavy equipment, and as for light weapons like Type 50, it is completely possible for other brother factories to take over."

"That's right, it's time for our factory to break free from the shackles of a big gun factory!"

"Yes, yes, the development of heavy equipment is the right direction......"

……

Driven by the technical backbone, the discussion in the field suddenly sounded, and I can't wait for the Baiyun Factory to produce a full set of aircraft cannons in the next second and realize the mechanization of the Chinese army!

But is this really possible?

The answer is naturally no, since it is negative, then Bai Yi has nothing to be polite about, so without waiting for the discussion to end, Bai Yi shouted: "Quiet!" ”

Immediately glanced at the audience coldly, and said in a stern tone: "Blind and arrogant, so ambitious, it's you!" ”

This sentence was like a muffled thunder, which made everyone in the audience silent, surprised, hesitant, puzzled, secretly angry, and a trace of unspeakable unwillingness, all of which kept flashing on everyone's faces at the moment when this sentence fell, changing and unsightly.

However, Bai Yi didn't even bother to look at the reaction of everyone present, and put the teacup in his hand heavily on the table in front of him, making a muffled sound of "dong~~": "The ancients, how can you sweep the world if you don't sweep a house; And what I want to say today is, how can a military factory that can't even make a gun make a good aircraft cannon? ”

"The answer is obvious, absolutely not!" Bai Yi said, and the big hand lying on the table slammed heavily on the table, like that loud words, echoing in the depths of everyone's hearts: "The reason is very simple, the mechanical structure and material selection of firearms are relatively simple equipment in the military industry, not to mention anything else, but as far as steel is concerned, general alloy steel can be used in firearms manufacturing."

But what about artillery? Can you use it just now? Then I can tell you unequivocally that under the huge high temperature and high pressure of artillery, the barrel of the gun you make will definitely be blown off; There is also the armor on the tank, the strength requirements are as high as the requirements of artillery steel, can the current Baiyun Factory produce it? ”

"Artillery steel can be studied slowly, but in the field of tank armor we are not without successful precedents, the additional armor on the improved T-34 is a good example, neither too good steel, nor expensive materials, but to achieve a fairly strong defensive effect, isn't this the right way?"

A technical backbone was a little unconvinced, he had participated in the research of additional armor, and he also participated in the damage assessment of the improved T-34 tank in the Imjin River armored battle.

However, Bai Yi smiled slightly: "The additional armor is very good, but why is it good?" Didn't you discover a fact when you were on the front line? ”

"What facts?"

"Surprise!" Bai Yi said loudly: "Because the enemy army thinks that armor-piercing shells are the most effective anti-armor weapons based on the experience of World War II, and our additional armor happens to be aimed at armor-piercing shells, but what if the enemy uses their new kinetic armor-piercing bullets?" Don't tell me that you didn't see the new kinetic armor-piercing shells on the U.S. M48 tank and the supposed "Centurion" tank during your research, and our additional armor in front of them is no different from a piece of paper. ”
