Hearing the word "gun clan", everyone in the audience couldn't help but be a little stunned, Mongolian, Zhuang, and Manchu big guys have heard of it, but what is this gun clan?

"The gun family is not a thing, but a kind of serialized and standardized collective name for firearms."

Just when everyone was puzzled, Bai Yi had already stood up again from his seat, came to the blackboard, picked up the chalk and wrote the word "gun clan" on it, and then drew three radiation lines around the gun clan, and explained while writing: "The guns equipped by our infantry today are nothing more than rifles, submachine guns and light machine guns.

The gun family I am talking about is based on a basic firearm, and through a small number of accessory changes, rifles, squad machine guns and general-purpose machine guns are derived, so as to make our army's firearms complete a qualitative leap. ”

The technical backbones in the field savored Bai Yi's words, especially from the current combination of rifles, submachine guns and light machine guns, upgraded to rifles, squad machine guns and general-purpose machine guns, many people do not understand, as for the reason is also very simple, the concept of squad machine guns and general-purpose machine guns is too novel, at least in the current China, these two types of firearms concepts have not been widely rolled out.

Even the Baiyun Factory, which is known as the domestic firearms champion, has limited its understanding of these two firearms to a few of its own old technicians, far from the level that everyone knows.

So someone soon raised his hand and asked: "Chief Bai, the submachine gun and the light machine gun are a combination that has been tested on the battlefield in the past ten years, and the actual combat power is enough to meet the needs of the troops at this stage. Seriously, I'm still a little skeptical! What's more, we don't quite understand what the squad machine gun and the general-purpose machine gun are, so I think it's better to concentrate on changing the existing Type 50 than to start from scratch! ”

The words of this technical backbone made many people nod slightly, and even Wang Dehua, who had participated in the development of Type 50, also agreed.

In fact, before this meeting, Bai Yi had a conversation with several of them in charge of technology, and everyone had nothing to say about the shortcomings of the Type 50 automatic rifle, and they all felt that this should be the key direction of the current Baiyun Factory.

However, there are many differences in how to go in this direction and how to go, and Bai Yi and Chen Yaoyang advocated redesigning the Type 50 automatic rifle to create a new firearm with more comprehensive performance.

However, Wang Dehua and several other old technicians feel that they should focus more on the 50 type itself, which is not only that they are reluctant to condense the countless efforts of the people, but more importantly, the 50 type still has a lot of merit in terms of design, as long as the potential can be excavated, the 50 type may not be a classic good gun that will forever go down in history.

It's just that at that time, they just bumped their heads, focusing on unifying their thoughts, and did not discuss the technical direction in depth, but they didn't expect that this time the meeting focusing on ideological correction would go back to the original problem, which made Wang Dehua and others nervous and curious, because the question of the technical backbone was also what they wanted to ask, but more importantly, at such a meeting that brought together the technical backbone of the whole factory, how should Bai Yi answer?

You must know that this is not just a correction of the wind, Bai Yi's iron-blooded soldier's temperament can be shocked by a little show, but a complete return to technology, if you can't come up with a convincing answer, even if Bai Yi's temperament is bullish to the sky, the technical backbones in the field will not buy it, after all, in the face of technology, it has nothing to do with temper and temperament, only seeking facts and truth.

Bai Yi naturally understood this truth, so he put away the domineering momentum when he corrected the wind just now, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and glanced at the technical backbone who asked just now: "You are Wang Xiaodong from the foundry workshop, right?" ”

"Yes, I'm Wang Xiaodong!"

Hearing Bai Yi call out his name, Wang Xiaodong was both excited and nervous, excited that Bai Yi, the leader in charge of the entire Baiyun Factory's technology, could remember his name as a small foundry; As for the nervousness, it is understandable, because Bai Yi's momentum in the wind correction just now made Wang Xiaodong very worried that the top boss of this top boss really "remembered"!

However, just when Wang Xiaodong regretted asking this question a little, Bai Yi's next words made his pounding heart fall to the bottom in an instant: "No wonder you ask this question, the 50-type receiver is now all completed by the casting process, and it can be said that the reason why your foundry workshop can be divided separately is due to the 50-style work." ”

Bai Yi is right, before the successful development of the Type 50 automatic rifle, the Baiyun Factory did not have a casting workshop at all, only an inconspicuous casting team, and the reason why it was divided separately and set up a larger workshop was entirely due to the casting process of the Type 50 automatic rifle receiver.

Due to the use of the 50 type of offset bolt, resulting in the receiver must be made of strong structural strength, in the case of the material is not ideal, the efficient stamping process can not meet the needs of the 50 type, and the structure of the better precision forging process is not to mention the Baiyun factory at that time, even if the German equipment and some Soviet equipment are replaced, there is no way to do it.

What's more, the precision forging process is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also extremely costly, so Bai Yi weighed the pros and cons of the pros and cons, and changed the 50-type casing processing process to casting, thus solving the structural problem, but because of this, the original casting team has been unable to meet the needs of large-scale production.

Therefore, the party committee of the plant at that time decided to set up a separate casting workshop on the basis of the original casting team for the manufacture of Type 50 gun receivers.

Over the past year, with the rapid installation of the 50 type, the foundry workshop of the Baiyun factory has also been greatly developed, but as the so-called success is also Xiao He defeated, the foundry workshop is thriving because of the demand for the 50 type, but in addition to the 50 type of casing, the foundry workshop has no other products.

Therefore, all the cadres and workers of the foundry workshop, including Wang Xiaodong, are very worried that Bai Yi will replace the 50 type with a new gun, because that means that the production of the foundry workshop will be stagnant, and the workers in their workshop will become a bunch of useless idlers.

This is something that all the foundry workshop workers, including Wang Xiaodong, don't want to see, so he had the courage to ask Bai Yi such a sharp question, just to keep the products that the foundry workshop is lazy to survive, but he didn't expect Bai Yi's eyes to be like a torch, and a word broke his careful thoughts, which made Wang Xiaodong's face suddenly turn extremely pale......
