Chapter 54: Improvements

Dr. Bliss was right, with the drawings things were simpler, especially with the anti-aircraft machine gun production line...... The reason was that there were three lines of anti-aircraft machine guns, and they were exactly the same.

In this way, if there is a suspicion that a part is broken, the corresponding part can be removed from another production line for comparison and verification, and then dismantled and disassembled, and the first production line was started three days later and the first anti-aircraft machine gun was tried to be produced.

Of course, the original Type 1938 anti-aircraft machine gun was originally produced.

In the test room, Bertrand set up the anti-aircraft machine gun and fired wildly at the target 500 meters away, shouting excitedly as he strafed, until finally all the bullets were fired, and his roar did not stop.

"Wow......" Bertrand exclaimed excitedly as he put down the machine gun: "This is crazy, this is what we produce, we produce...... We don't have to spend $3,000 on that stuff anymore! It's brand new, and you can have as much as you want! ”

Then he eagerly asked Briss, "So, Doctor...... When are we going to start producing this thing? ”

Dr. Bliss turned his gaze to Qin Tian.

Qin Tian replied on his behalf: "We don't produce, Bette!" ”

"What?"

"We've made some improvements to it!" Qin Tian said: "It is possible to produce a machine gun with better performance at a smaller cost!" ”

Bertrand looked at Briss with a surprised expression, and then said happily, "Very well, doctor, I didn't know you had such a skill!" Looks like I hired you right! ”

"No, Bet!" Dr. Bliss said, "These were all Qin's ideas! ”

Bertrand's jaw almost dropped in astonishment.

Of course, Bertrand couldn't ask anything, Qin Tian casually found a reason to prevaricate, and these reasons were even thought out in advance.

Since Dr. Bliss had already made the improved parts according to the drawings, it was only necessary to load them on the production line...... To Dr. Bliss's contribution, all the parts fit perfectly.

"Unbelievable!" Dr. Bliss shook his head and muttered to himself as he mounted.

Dr. Bliss is an expert in weapons, and he knows that there is rarely a single success story when an improved part is installed, because there will always be a calculation error of one kind or another, and it is a process of debugging, modifying, and modifying, unless the parts were already tuned.

But now, almost all the parts are ready to use.

The reason why I use "almost" here is because there are two parts that fail after being installed, and after inspection, it is found that there is a manufacturing problem.

So it only took one night, and the first sample gun came out early the next morning...... Dr. Bliss and his men stayed up all night.

This is not to say that they are conscientious, there is no such thing as being conscientious in making weapons for mercenaries in Somalia.

The reason for the endless rest of the day is that Dr. Bliss and his subordinates have a strong curiosity about these improvements, and they want to know if they will have the desired effect, just like an archaeologist discovers a thousand-year-old tomb.

So when the sample gun was assembled, there was a cheer in the factory.

"Don't be in a hurry to rejoice!" Dr. Bliss said, "We don't even know if it's going to go off!" ”

"Why don't we try?" Assistant Jonathan made a suggestion.

"No, no!" Dr. Bliss looked at the improved machine gun in front of him a little nervously, and after a while he said, "I think we should inform Qin and Bate and let them try it, what do you say?" ”

So Qin Tian and Bertrand were woken up at half past five in the morning.

Qin Tian knew what was going on the moment he got up...... The factory is equipped with surveillance, and the moment he opened his eyes, he saw the assembled sample gun in the camera, and he even saw from the appearance that there was nothing wrong with such a gun, except for a few small shortcomings that he deliberately left, such as the gun carriage was too light and not so easy to control when firing.

These shortcomings are for the "rainstorm", and they are not difficult to solve in reality.

Bertrand was furious when he was woken up, and he grabbed the alarm clock at the head of the bed and smashed it in the direction of the door: "Fuck, don't you know that it's been a long time since I've slept well in a bed that doesn't shake?" ”

The mercenary in charge of the notification was taken aback, and was silent for a while before hesitating to say outside: "Bette, they said that the machine gun has been assembled......"

At this time, Bertrand had fallen asleep again in a daze, and when he heard this sentence in a hazy way, he sat up from the bed, and immediately lifted the quilt and got up after being stunned for a while, and at the same time scolded in his mouth: "Bastard, why didn't you tell me earlier!" ”

The mercenary outside the door looked bitter, and 10,000 grass and mud horses galloped past in his heart.

As a result, Bertrand arrived at the factory in pajamas and slippers, and he didn't even have underwear inside...... The mercenaries and staff were not surprised, they seemed to be used to Bertrand's like this, but Qin Tian was a little unaccustomed to it.

"We're going to test the gun!" Qin Tian said: "Instead of showing your gun to other people!" ”

Bertrand laughed: "I'll pay attention next time, head!" ”

As soon as he walked into the workshop, Dr. Bliss followed the two and chattered: "The original weight of the machine gun is 93 kg, and the improved weight is 33.2 kg, which is 64.3% lighter, of which the body of the gun is 17.65 kg, and the gun carriage weighs 15.55 kg, which makes it possible to be carried by one soldier respectively, of course, it is better if it is carried by two people......"

In fact, what Dr. Bliss said was complete nonsense, because Qin Tian had already known that he didn't need to say it, and Bertrand didn't listen to it at all, he just walked to the new machine gun, looked at its appearance and praised: "It's so beautiful!" ”

After a while, Bertrand asked, "Can I try it?" ”

"Of course!" Qin Tian nodded.

He wasn't very interested in any of this, nor was he as excited as Dr. Bryce and Bertrand.

On the one hand, this was because this improvement was nothing to Qin Tian at all.

On the other hand, Qin Tian already knew the result.

This is a sad thing, because it means less anticipation and less fun in the process, which is perhaps one of the reasons why smart people tend to be boring.

The method of operation is not much different from before, and this is due to the consideration of universality.

Of course, a large part of this is due to the fact that the Somalis, or African troops, are accustomed to the operation of the original machine guns, and in order to open up the market, the learning ability of these customers must be taken into account.

This made it easy for Bertrand to be ready to shoot and aim at a target six hundred meters away......
