Chapter 21: Becoming a God?
Whenever Joey later thinks back to April 1, 1879, he feels that on April Fool's Day, fate played a huge joke on him.
After telling his parents a lot of opinions that didn't belong to his age, Joey didn't expect his parents to listen. After the crown prince and his wife understood Joey's idea, the crown princess immediately changed all her funding to be managed by a foundation named after herself. Then he handed over the subsequent establishment of the company to produce antitoxins to his personal secretary Stokema.
The crown prince, on the basis of Joey's ideas, shut himself in his study, preparing to write two reports to the emperor and the chancellor, one on how to protect German patent rights, and the other on how to encourage the transformation of German patent rights.
Also encouraged by this incident, on April Fool's Day, before going to bed, Joey planned a huge life plan for himself:
First of all, I am ready to rely on my previous work experience in the field of economic psychology, and ambitiously want to write the theory of Keynes, the savior of the capitalist economy, especially the essence of the theory, "the amount of social employment depends on the effective supply of society".
Secondly, because he had experience in fiddling with machinery in his previous life (mainly repairing his own cars, lawn mowers, generators and other machinery), he was also ambitious to prepare to build a car, and at the worst of all, Joey also wanted to make a gasoline engine engine.
Finally, I am ready to draw the structure of the G36 and HKM4 with the title of marksman with my own IDPA membership experience. Think about it, if only the German army of the XIX century could be equipped with the G36 ... That night, Joey could laugh in her dreams.
When Joey prepared paper and pen in his room early the next morning, sat at his desk and prepared to complete his first step in becoming a god of economics, reality gave Joey a cruel slap in the face quickly and violently.
Joey sadly found that in his previous life he was only a user of applied technology in economics, and wanted to get rid of his status as a technology applicator to compile a masterful economic theory and establish and run a set of economic rules that could save the capitalist world.
Joey looked at the few famous economic ideas he had written on paper, but he could no longer write a basis to support them, let alone real-life examples to support them. Even the mathematical models of economics that he often used in his previous life, Joy could not write a detailed verification process.
Joey threw the pen away in disappointment, it seems that the masterpiece in the basic field of economics is really not his own, and the sacred field that can only be reached by office white-collar workers who only use various economic analysis software.
"Economics can't be a god, but I can also repair cars, use machine tools to make parts, and assemble a car's engine! I can start with the car engine..."Joey picked up the pen and began to move on to the thermal and power industry, starting with the EA888 engine that he was most familiar with. The cylinder block, air intake, oil delivery hole, air outlet and piston are smoothly drawn, and the relevant dimensions of the entire cylinder can also be described in great detail by virtue of the car repair experience exercised by burning engine oil in the previous life.
But that was the end of Joey's engine-building dream.
The valve, fuel supply lines, cooling and lubrication systems related to the engine, Joey couldn't draw it anyway even if he wanted to break his head. But the trouble is far from over, and Joey is even more annoyed by the fact that as a result of the electrification of modern cars' engines, he has no understanding of the ECU parts of the vehicle required to start the engine. It turns out that no matter how good an auto mechanic is, he can't reach the level of an automotive systems engineer.
"The car engine is too complicated, it doesn't matter, I can fix the generator!" After throwing away the drawings of the car's engine, Joey continued to cheer himself up, grabbing a pen and paper and drawing the drawings of the gasoline generator again.
Facts once again proved that Joey's road to becoming a god is still very far away, and after the cylinder part was drawn smoothly, Joey tragically found out again that in his previous life, because of laziness, the gasoline generator sets he bought were all electric-started, and Joey is still a layman in the field of electric start. The pen was angrily thrown out of Joey's hand again!
Unfortunately, Joey didn't know that in fact, his gasoline engine was just a layer of window paper away from success, and the early gasoline engine engine did not need an electric motor to start, but directly shook the crankshaft, but this was an April Fool's joke that fate played on Joey.
The successive failures forced Joey to calm down, reclaim the pen he had thrown in the corner, and sit at his desk to analyze the path of G36 imitation that he was about to embark on. I often use the G36 in practice and competitions in the IDPA manufacturer's group, and it is no problem to disassemble and assemble it with my eyes closed. However, the IDPA emphasizes the use of unmodified original firearms to simulate actual combat, so it is stronger than IPSC players in actual combat, but in the field of firearm modification and processing, it is far behind by IPSC people.
Joey was saddened to find that although he could draw 100% of the shapes of all the parts of the G36, the specific size of each part was Joey's nightmare, and without accurate gun design accuracy, the gun he built was not necessarily more lethal than a flintlock pistol. In addition, the materials used in the G36 and the machining capabilities of the current era do not seem to support their ideals, and even if they can draw dimensions, they may not be able to be processed by machine tools.
Joey was still very proud of himself when he chose IDPA, and now it seems that he knew that he would cross, so choosing IPSC is actually more suitable for his great cause of making guns, but who can know that he will cross?!
After putting the G36 idea aside, HKM4 also encountered the same problem, "But is AK47 a good choice?" After all, the AK47 is so simple that it can be hand-built in a tribal area in Pakistan. "Joey suddenly thought of AK47.
The ideal is plump, the reality is skinny, in his previous life, as a Hekle Koch manufacturer (HK) fan, Joey once again sadly found that he had only shot AK47 a few times, and because he didn't have any good impression of its accuracy, he hadn't even dismantled the gun, and Joey didn't know the AK47 structure at all.
Just when all of Joey's path to godhood looked like it was going to be sealed, Joey suddenly remembered that in his previous life, at his grandfather's house, he had played with a Lee-Enfield short rifle (SMLE), which was captured by his grandfather's father during World War II. In order to maintain the gun for my grandfather, he also disassembled and applied gun oil to the gun many times.
"It was early in 1895, the Lee Enfield magazine rifle had not yet appeared, and the Lee Metford magazine rifle derived from it was ten years later, in 1888, and the technology was now sufficient to support its production. But it is not without problems, its smokeless propellant is the most important problem to be solved now, followed by the caliber can no longer be 0.303 inches, but should be changed to 7.92mm... Wait, isn't 7.62 better? Also, in order to open the British market, should the size of the British 77 be retained? ”
"Anyway, you have to be brutal and make a 20-round arc-shaped fixed magazine." Facing the last glimmer of hope for fate, Joey thought viciously.
"After the drawings of the gun are drawn, but where to find a reliable manufacturer? Go to the Mauser brothers? But then, what about the great Mauser M98 rifle? It's a headache, and I'm going to think about it again. Joey rubbed his swollen head.
When the crown princess knocked on Joey's door in the afternoon, she was immediately stunned by the room full of shredded paper, paper balls and confetti.
