After passing the standards through various training and a series of mechanical maintenance projects, we began to enter the final simulation of Titan. Each of us wore bulletproof spacesuits and entered the test room filled with liquid nitrogen, and I didn't feel any different from the body armor we usually wear, except for the need to wear protective goggles and carry an oxygen cylinder, I didn't feel how cold it was in the special spacesuit.

The five of us were practicing in the test room while talking on the radio, and I asked Big Yellow Tooth: "Comrade Yellow Fang, you said that you have seen aliens up close, so let me ask you, what do aliens look like?" Big Yellow Fang's tone seemed to be careless, as if my question seemed to be a joke on him, and he replied, "Lieutenant Liu, why are you suspicious of me?" Am I like I've never seen an alien? I was speechless for a moment. At this time, Colonel Tariq said on the radio: "Staff Officer Huang, we just want to ask you?" Did you still participate in the planning of the Aerospace Equipment Department anyway? Tell us what aliens look like! As soon as Shen Guojian heard that we were asking if Big Yellow Tooth had really seen aliens up close, he also became excited, and asked on the side: "Sir Huang, do you always want to tell us people who have never seen aliens?" Let's be fully prepared for our next landing on Titan! "That's it! Tell me about it! Everyone said together. I only heard Big Yellow Fang clear his throat on the radio, and said seriously: "I was not even a meter away from the alien on the saucer...... although the light was dim at that time." "Just tell us what aliens look like!" Luo Xiaoming listened to the big yellow tooth gossiping, and he was a little anxious when he heard it. "I saw that alien, wearing a red, yellow, and gray armor and helmet, and a glowing white luminaire on his chest......" The more Yellow Fang talked, the more he talked, the more he could hear Colonel Tariq exclaim, "Oh! Staff Officer Huang said for a long time that the alien had become a Japanese Ultraman! So everyone burst into laughter, and Big Yellow Fang was stunned, only to hear him explain on the radio: "What I said is true, I didn't lie to you, I don't believe it, when we go to Titan, any of you who don't believe it can go and see it with your own eyes!" ”

Luo Xiaoming couldn't straighten up when he was laughing on the side, he only heard him take a deep breath, and then said weakly: "Colonel Tariq, you are wrong, the alien that Chief of Staff Huang said is not Ultraman Japan, it should be the Iron Man of the United States!" ”

As soon as Battalion Commander Luo Xiaoming's words came out, we all burst into laughter again, Colonel Tariq laughed and bent down with his stomach in his hand, and it took a long time to barely straighten his waist, but he couldn't breathe with laughter, and he had no strength in his body, so he simply sat on the ground with his butt and slapped the floor with both hands.

I don't know under what conditions the Department of Aerospace Equipment has created a problem that is recognized all over the world in weapons -- the manufacture and simple use of caseless bombs. We all know that Germany and the United States have previously manufactured caseless bullets during the boring period after the Cold War, but due to the technical insurmountable defects in the manufacturing process of caseless bullets, there are often dud bombs, and there will also be a series of problems such as jamming and exploding in the process of use. After receiving various space projects and simulated Titan's actual combat training, we were about to go to the factory specially designed and manufactured for us to carry out the next step of skill training, when the leader of Song Fumin sent someone to find us and asked us to go to him as soon as possible. When I thought that Song was bored with our design of this unnecessary weapon, Colonel Tariq, who had been in the army for many years and had touched countless weapons, said: "Oh, this gun is so old that (dialect, it means powerful, perfect and exquisite)!" So Luo Xiaoming and Big Yellow Tooth couldn't help but look over and over in their hands. Shen Guojian is a military fan, since he participated in the landing operation with us on Titan, he has come into contact with a lot of various weapons, and now when he heard that the Aerospace Equipment Department has specially made a weapon for us, he is also very skilled in holding up the assault rifle, pulling the bolt, and playing with it.

I stood aside and had no intention of admiring the caseless bullets and new rifles, but I only felt that Leader Song's move was suspected of delaying our landing operation, but I had no choice but to listen to other people's arrangements during this period, so I felt very uncomfortable, and turned my head to look at the targets lined up in the distance. "Da Da Da! Da-da-da-da! "A few crisp and non-sharp gunshots suddenly made me feel that this gun was really extraordinary, because ordinary rifles produce a low rumble when fired with a sharp bullet whistling through the air, and now the new semi-automatic rifles they are working on are the rumbling sound of no gunpowder igniting the propelled bullet, from which it is inferred that the recoil of this new semi-automatic rifle is very small, and its bullet must have been specially modified to reduce its air blocking force, That's why the whistling sound produced when the warhead cuts through the air is very small. At that time, I categorically decided that the power of such a bullet after it was shot was definitely greater than that of ordinary bullets, first of all, its initial velocity was fast, and the firing distance was far away, and the firing distance was far, and the power was absolutely small! Sure enough, just as my eyes looked at the target in the distance, I saw that the wooden target in the distance exploded as if it had been hit by a small-caliber cannonball, and the debris that had been blown up was thrown high and high in the air. I saw how powerful and powerful the new gun was and how powerful it was, so I couldn't help but walk over to the console and pick up a new assault rifle and pick it up. I saw that the design concept of this newly designed semi-automatic assault rifle was completely different from that of conventional semi-automatic assault rifles, probably due to the use of caseless rounds. The total length of this semi-automatic assault rifle is only 50 centimeters, which is only half a meter long, shorter than the 97 type, the design of this gun is very special, only to see its integrated butt will be designed in the trigger frame and grip in the butt, just like the Belgian P-90, and the magazine is not a conventional long arc magazine, but a drum spiral cartridge, and it is not stuck under the gun body, but with the barrel up and down the structure of the upper part of the barrel clamped, such a magazine design is completely borrowed from China's "CF-06" Submachine gun. Such a design significantly reduces the size of the equipment in terms of individual equipment. The magazine is a cylindrical magazine about 40 mm thick, with 7.62 mm rounds stacked in a longitudinal sequence for a staggering 50 rounds.

The cross-section of the new model is as follows: the upper part is a wide-mouth card slot for the fixed barrel magazine, the magazine is completely submerged, the middle is the barrel, and the lower part is equipped with a 40 mm gun howitzer, which is equipped with the same gun howitzer as a conventional assault rifle, and has not been changed. The optical sight can be mounted on the left or right side of the barrel at will, depending on personal preference. This is definitely the most modular design concept I have ever seen in my life, the stock and barrel, as well as the magazine and the howitzer are completely in the same rectangular modular design, and the whole gun weighs less than 3 kilograms.

I picked up this gun and watched it repeatedly, the more I looked at it, the more pleasing to the eye, I effortlessly disassembled the whole gun into 5 parts, the glass fiber butt is very lightweight, the highly elastic steel barrel magazine can absolutely ensure that the caseless bullet will not be damaged by external pressure in its magazine, when returning the empty magazine, just press the unboxer, the magazine will quickly pop up along the two card slots. The airtight and flexible bolt parts ensure that the caseless bullet will not be re-boring when firing, and there is no concern about the gun being scrapped due to the sand or water freezing. I pressed the caseless bullet, which was no different from a regular bullet, into the cartridge magazine, which had a reload port on the side behind the magazine instead of at the bottom, and two protruding metal edges on the barrel for loading the cartridge magazine, and I loaded the cartridge from the rear of the gun to the front after loading the gun, and the loading port behind the cartridge magazine coincided with the bayonet of the gun boring upwards, and after hearing a crisp click, I pulled the bolt and loaded the bullet. The 50-round magazine was all fired in less than three seconds, which shows how fast the gun fired! Leader Song sighed loudly on the side: "What kind of gun is a good gun? Now the internationally recognized good gun must ensure two points: first, one must be modular design; Second, it is high rate of fire, high accuracy, and great power! That's a really good gun! ......” None of the five of us had the leisure to pay attention to Song Fumin's words, and he was idle on the sidelines. A few of us were just having fun with the new assault rifle. I put the bolt in burst mode and mounted the optical scope on the left side of the gun (I'm not left-handed, it's easiest to press the optical scope on the left.) Because there is a thick barrel magazine above the gun body, the optical sight can only be installed on the side of the gun body, but it is quite handy), so it aimed at the bull's-eye of the wooden target in the distance, and the trigger was pulled, only a crisp "click" was heard! With no recoil sensation, the gun can be used not only with conventional ammunition of the same model, but also with original caseless ammunition. However, when firing a caseless bullet, its sound is very small, like a German-made MP5, there is almost no noise when the gunpowder deflagrates, and the sound of the gun is so crisp that almost the sound of the metal impact of the gun is in operation. Leader Song asked us: "Comrades, how do you feel about this new gun?" "Good! Good! Awesome, I don't have to say! Everyone responded together Leader Song then asked, "Do you want shellless bullets or conventional ammunition?" "Of course it's a caseless bullet! It's very handy! Luo Xiaoming said loudly on the side. At the time, I also thought that the caseless bullet was a good thing, but then I thought about it, the shellless elastic performance we are using now is superior, but after all, it is in the experimental stage, and this result cannot be classified as an actual combat effect. So I calmly replied: "Lead us to bring both kinds of ammunition, we have no logistical support on Titan, just in case!" "Yes, yes, yes! That's it! Lao Liu, you are too thoughtful! Big Yellow Fang patted his ass. Leader Song said kindly: "That's what I mean, no matter how superior the new weapon is, after all, it is an experiment, I will pick the best and most qualified gun and send it to your spaceship, and then bring you a few of the most convenient Type 97 ...... that you usually use."

I interrupted Song Fumin's words and asked, "Leader, what is this new assault rifle?" Leader Song may have been in a hurry to design this new semi-automatic assault rifle and neglected to give this gun a scary name or the model of the gun, so he could only open his mouth wide at this time: "Huh?!" Belch? This one...... Our Aerospace Equipment Department hasn't finalized it yet! ......”

Truth be told, the performance of this gun was absolutely fine, so we used this semi-automatic assault rifle and caseless bullets named "Shortsword" at the time for front-line equipment, and in case of accidents on Titan, we also brought the Type 97 assault rifle and a large number of regular bullets of the same model on the ship.
