Chapter 439 New weapon [continued]

".50 caliber machine gun?" Browning hesitated for a few seconds, "Mr. Qin, the Great Viper Weapons Company does not have .50 caliber ammunition in its catalog, and the same is true for other companies. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Because this is your job, Qin Lang thought, and then changed his mind. "I'm in charge of the bullets. I'll give it to you when I return to San Diego. ”

He decided to take matters into his own hands to develop the bullet - no doubt it would have been more interesting if it had been given to Browning, but it would have been a waste of time; And Browning's end result doesn't have to be .50x99, it's probably 12.7vx108 for the Russians - but that's too bad.

Qin Lang decided to do it himself. It's as simple as searching your brain for some old memories. Of course, even he can't guarantee exactly right, but still closer to the standard than Browning.

However, before he could make a final decision to settle the matter, he had to seek Browning's opinion - the gunsmith's pride might have led Browning to reject his proposal.

"What do you think, Mr. Browning?" Qin Lang asked.

"No problem." Browning did not hesitate in the slightest - in fact he was very happy, showing some anticipation, "It must be said that in the field of light weapons, you have not come up with a new work for a long time, Mr. Qin. I'm sure a lot of people are waiting patiently. ”

It was only at this time that Qin Lang realized that he was actually also a famous firearms designer: "Python" and "Anaconda" revolvers, Predator rifles, as well as .357 Magnum pistol cartridges, .223 carbine cartridges and .308 rifle cartridges, the best-selling products of the Great Viper Weapons Company were all his works, and the remaining products were also based on his suggestions...... It would not be a shame for Browning to develop ammunition for his new work.

Qin Lang smiled. "I can assure you that you will not be disappointed, Mr. Browning."

"I never doubted your abilities, Mr. Qin." Browning replied.

This concludes the conversation. Qin Lang returned to the Pentagon, and Browning returned to his office to continue his work—but not to continue to worry about the weight of the medium-caliber machine gun that applied constant recoil distance, but to complete a spontaneous job that he had temporarily stopped and not completed.

As a lover of the M1911 pistol, Qin Lang once asked Browning to develop a semi-automatic pistol that fired .45 caliber bullets, and he completed it as required - but the semi-automatic pistol, renamed "Sidewinder", was still in the testing stage and was not put into production - and then Browning began to develop a new pistol that fired nine-millimeter caliber bullets based on the "Sidewinder".

Qin Lang didn't know about this, otherwise he would not have suggested that Browning design a new machine gun that applied the principle of constant recoil, and would have actively participated in the design work and made many suggestions in order to ensure that the gunsmith designed his last masterpiece: the Browning high-power pistol. Even though he doesn't like it: most .45 enthusiasts don't like the 9mm, there are still many who like it, and someone who likes it means the market.

No businessman in his right mind would refuse a product with good market prospects.

Unfortunately, Qin Lang didn't know Browning's secret; Although, in the end, he will still know, but nothing is known yet.

It was a mistake that could be corrected: if he had time to talk more with Browning...... However, time happened to be something that Qin Lang lacked. He's busy, and the Big Viper Arms Company isn't the only unit that needs his attention, United Carbide, United Textile Technologies, Khomel Foods, Ford Motor ...... And, of course, the Devil's Island base and Area 51.

A few years ago, Qin Lang established both the Devil's Island base and Area 51, but now they have completely different statuses, and it is extremely interesting and puzzling that the status of the two bases is diametrically opposed to the economic benefits they bring: Devil's Island is a center for amphetamine and methamphetamine production, as well as a transit point for arms smuggling into Mexico, but Qin Lang rarely asks about its operation; Area 51 only had Umbrella's desert training camp, spy training center, and poison gas range, but Qin Lang was keeping an eye on it at all times.

No one, including Rachel and O'Connor, knew the reason for the attitude he took, and Qin Lang wouldn't tell them why.

But the reason for that is actually quite simple, not because of Rockwell's flying saucers, NBE-1s, or some metal CUBE - even if they did exist, they would not be in the Bridegroom Lake Desert - but importantly, although the Devil's Island base can bring in close to half a million dollars a month, it obviously cannot be used for covert activities.

Only in District 51 can those secret activities that Qin Lang attaches importance to be carried out. Desert training camps and spy training centers are all covers, and the gas range is only part of the secret. Qin Lang's plan was to relocate the entire poison gas laboratory there, and he was going to send all the new weapons he was going to develop to the Nevada desert for secret testing.

Not yet, though. First, he didn't have a new weapon that needed to be sent to District 51 for testing, and secondly, the capacity there was still extremely limited.

For the time being, Qin Lang could not find a suitable means of transportation to transport materials to District 51. Horse-drawn carriages were undoubtedly inefficient, trains were too ostentatious and attention-grabbing, and airplanes had not even been born. In fact, now the only suitable means of transport is the car, and the car ......

Trucks were and are not in Ford Motor Company's catalog: trucks, tractors, pickups...... None at all.

Henry. Ford still did not change his personal preferences, but still focused most of his efforts on developing more powerful engines and faster race cars, and the two-seater sports car developed on the basis of the Ford-A car pizzed his nerves - the Ford Motor Company sold 1,400 sports cars in 1898, while the Ford-A sold less than 700 - and it was natural that in the new year, Ford's bet was still on sports cars.

The Mustang sports car -- the name it should be noted was Qin Lang's idea, and the 1899 Ford-A was named the "Taurus" -- compared to the old model it replaced, Ford increased its engine power, increased its speed by three miles per hour, and then set a new sales price, $1,000, and then predicted that it would sell at least 6,000 units.

Other than that, Ford Motor Company's products only have Taurus, and Ford doesn't care about its sales at all; Qin Lang didn't know how he should evaluate Ford's bold move, but he didn't like it.

He needed trucks, even pickup trucks with a capacity of only a thousand pounds, that kind of vehicles to transport supplies to Area 51. But beyond that, and more importantly, although they also produced sports cars, Ford and his company were never Ferraris, nor were they Porcher.

As the people of the future will know, Henry. Ford's most successful and highest-produced car was the Ford-T, which sold at least 15 million units from 1908 to 1927 – that is, he was simply misguided by his focus on sports cars.

This mistake must be corrected, and more effective methods need to be used.

Qin Lang had warned Ford not to pay too much attention to his personal preferences, but this warning obviously had no effect. Unfortunately, because Ford was still an important person, Qin Lang could not kick him out of the company or use any other form of punishment that would make people feel intimidating, so he could only go to Milwaukee in person and talk to Ford face-to-face.

He had to inspect the Ford Motor Company, before leaving New York, or after leaving Washington; He'll get there, it's just a matter of time.

Qin Lang couldn't decide on an exact moment. He has a lot to deal with, and no one can predict if something will suddenly come in, so any moment that has already been decided can be changed. He spent ten months in the Far East, and this was the price to pay.

And that's not the only price he needs to pay.

To put it more bluntly, he had just returned to the Pentagon from the Big Viper Arms Company, and before he could do anything, the secretary had already pushed open the door and walked in, announcing to him in a very regretful tone: "Boss, Mr. Daubers is here, he is outside, and he has asked to see you immediately." ”

Qin Lang immediately guessed his intentions, and his eyebrows furrowed. "I have to say, he's moving so fast."

"Do you need me to tell him to come back another day?" The secretary asked, eager and excited. Of course, Miss Ross had no bad opinion of Elizabeth, and did not want to take her place—and in fact it could not be—but Henry. Daubs is not liked anywhere, and everyone wants to cause him trouble.

As long as they have the opportunity to cause trouble for him.

However, Qin Lang didn't want her to do that. Some things are pointless, and even if you can avoid them for a while, you still have to face them in the end - and Henry. Daubs wasn't the kind of guy who could be dismissed with a few words, otherwise he wouldn't be so annoying.

"Let him in." He shrugged.
