Chapter 4 Research and Development of New Guns (Part I)
"Taozi, Taozi. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Needless to say, such a loud voice can only be shouted by Wei Gang.
"Brother Gang, it's only been a few days." Jiang Tao muttered dissatisfiedly.
"Isn't this your first day of work at Yoko-sama? I'm also afraid that you'll be late, so it's better to leave a good impression on Lord Yang if you go early. Wei Gang looked at the five big and three coarse, it seems that he is not ignorant of human feelings.
Looking up, it was almost 6 o'clock in the next life, Jiang Tao had no choice but to climb out of the warm quilt, get dressed and walk out. Wei Gang had already prepared a wash for Jiang Tao, Jiang Tao finished washing in a daze, wiped his face with cold water, and finally drove away the sleepy insects. As an office worker who is used to working from 9 to 5, it can be regarded as difficult for him.
Walking out of the house, he finally got rid of Jiang Tao, who was nagging by Wei Gang, and walked slowly on the road, but his stomach was urging him to quickly find something to sacrifice his five internal organs, and it happened that a burst of aroma came from the side, looking at a small stall with a lot of people, Jiang Tao felt good, so he also found a stool to sit down, and beckoned a small guy, "What is delicious in your house?"
"Our spicy soup is paired with fried cakes, but it's a must, why don't you try it?"
"Success, let's get a copy."
After a while, the food was served on the table, Jiang Tao tasted it really good, the fried cake was golden in color, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, it was much more relieved than the fried cake with gutter oil in later generations, the spicy soup was in the stomach, and the body was a little hot, Jiang Tao fried cake was very happy to eat with the spicy soup. After a while, it was all gone.
"Guest, let's go, come back next time." The little guy greeted Jiang Tao warmly in the back.
Walking to the Fengtian Ordnance Factory, Jiang Tao greeted the porter and asked, "Uncle, do you know where that Hoffman technician is?" ”
The uncle raised his eyelids and looked at Jiang Tao, "You are that lucky boy, Huo Technician's team is in No. 3, don't go wrong."
"Yes, thank you, old man."
Jiang Tao walked to the No. 3 workshop of the C word. Looking left and right, the workshop is not big, but the sparrows are small and have all kinds of organs. Planers, lathes, milling machines, grinding machines, and drilling machines are all available, so it can be said that a skilled worker can make a good gun here. Although it is an old steam-powered drive, it is already a first-class equipment in this era.
A few people walked into the workshop one after another, and after a while, there were three or four people, and Hoffman was among them, Hoffman walked to the middle, clapped his hands and signaled, "Let me introduce to you, we are your team leader Hoffman, this is Jiang Tao next to me, my translator and assistant, you are familiar with it first, and we will discuss the work in 15 minutes." “
"Hello, my name is Luneng, I can make these machine tools good, see that you can speak foreign at a young age, you have stayed in the foreign and drank foreign ink." A stout and powerful man looked very enthusiastic.
"My name is Venda, I just went back to China, I studied metal forging at the University of Leipzig before this, and your accent is a bit Saxony, did you study there?" A young man with glasses looked a little shy, but he was a little excited, perhaps because he felt that he had encountered the same study abroad experience.
"Well, actually, I haven't stayed in the ocean, this is what my father taught me." Jiang Tao said the previous reason again. After a while, a few people became familiar with it. Fifteen minutes passed quickly.
"Okay, I'm sure you're all familiar with each other. I hope you can cooperate well, your generals want to develop a firearm with more firepower and sustained combat effectiveness, I plan to use the Czech ZH-29 that you just introduced as a template imitation, what do you think. Hoffmann talks about his work with the usual rigor of the Germans, and his expression is very serious.
Jiang Tao wanted to pretend to be low-key and echo Hoffman's opinion, but unexpectedly, there was a "drop" in his mind, "The military industrial system detects the environment and starts the side mission:
Requirements: Develop a firearm that meets the requirements.
Rewards: Research Points: 100-500 (depending on gun performance)
Industrial points: 500
Mechanical: a set of bullet reloading machine.
"Ah" Jiang Tao's surprised voice attracted everyone's attention.
"Jiang, do you have any ideas, you also tried ZH-29 yesterday, do you have any suggestions? Don't be afraid, you can say it, let's discuss it" Hoffman stopped Jiang Tao at this time.
Seeing that everyone present was looking at him, Jiang Tao also knew that he had to bite the bullet, although it was not in line with his plan to slowly emerge, but now for the sake of the system, he just did it.
Jiang Tao thought for a while and organized the language: "Mr. Hoffman, I thought about the ZH-29 gun again last night, and I think it is a good gun, but it is not suitable for our Chinese army?" “
"Well, let's talk about what you think, I'd love to hear your opinions." Hoffman was a little dissatisfied with his ideas being criticized, but the rigorous and pragmatic style of the Germans who integrated into the bone marrow still gave Jiang Tao a chance to continue.
"Then let me tell you about it." Jiang Tao picked up a handful of ZH-29 that Hoffman used as a template and said. "First, the double trigger structure used in this gun, even though the safety and stability of the gun are greatly improved, but this design requires soldiers to have a lot of experience in gun operation, which is what the soldiers in our country lack, they are more accustomed to pulling the trigger to be able to shoot bullets, rather than pulling the trigger to load first, and then pull the trigger to fire bullets, if this kind of design is adopted, I think it is difficult for soldiers to use it skillfully."
"The second point is that the parts of this gun are processed with high precision, and there are many parts, which is time-consuming and laborious to process." Saying that, Jiang Tao slowly dismantled the gun, and Luneng on the side picked up the parts and looked at them carefully, and said in a sullen voice, "I can also process it, I don't believe I will do it for you, it is guaranteed to be fast and good." ”
Jiang Tao smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Luneng, not everyone in the factory has your craftsmanship, your craftsmanship is superb, but others may not." Luda listened, touched his head, and smiled: "It's still thoughtful, other people really don't have such good skills as mine." “
"Because of the fine structure, this is decided, this gun is not suitable for use in the Northeast, the Northeast is mostly sandy, the maintenance is not good, or the sand has entered, I see a good chance of dumb fire in this gun.
Hoffman's originally gloomy face when he heard Jiang Tao's explanation was also softened: "Are there any other questions, if there are any, you can say them together, we can make standards for the design after this."
"Well, there is another point, that is, the cost of this gun is too high, and the money to make such a gun is enough for us to build 5 Liao 13 (imitation Mauser 98)."
"You're right, do you have any other opinions?" As a firearms designer, Hoffman understood that there was no such thing as the best weapon, only the most suitable one, and that the ZH-29, although advanced and powerful, was not suitable for the Chinese. He had never thought about it before.
The people around shook their heads, indicating that there was nothing wrong with them. Hoffman sighed at this. The original idea seemed to be useless, so I had to figure it out on my own. "Then you all go and think about it, if there are any good suggestions, we will discuss it later."
It seems that I can't count on Wenda and Luneng, I don't know if Jiang Tao, this young man, can bring me any surprises. Hoffman stepped aside, lit a cigarette, and fell into thought.
