During this time, Wang Houpu was a little depressed.

As a high-achieving student of the dignified Yanda University and a former senior engineer of an arsenal, after he arrived in the border area a few months ago, he could only manufacture some weapons with low technical content.

For example, the border area grenade that looks inferior and is not satisfactory to use.

It's not that their technology is not up to par, it's that the current conditions in the border areas are really limited.

Steel is a rarity, and apart from seizures, there is little chance of external influx in the near future, and the raw materials that can be obtained are low-quality pig iron produced by small iron mills.

In addition, the quality of the self-made gunpowder is not up to par, and the equipment manufactured is even more rudimentary, most of which are bought back from the previous dynasty.

Being able to create border grenades in batches, and can blow up and injure the enemy, this is already the result of everyone's painstaking efforts to optimize each link.

In order to solve the equipment problem on the factory side. Wang Houpu has been in contact with the old and the old, collecting information about the equipment that was lost outside the former arsenal.

It's a pity that the arsenal where I used to work is too far away from the border area.

Even if he collects some equipment information, he can't transport it all the way to the border area now.

Faced with such a situation, Wang Houpu was a little disappointed.

The main thing is that the current work is too far from the work he expects to carry out in the production and development of firearms.

And because he has just arrived, he has no right to speak in the factory here, so many things he wants to do are not qualified to be implemented.

However, in the spirit of revolutionary optimism, he did not speak these words to anyone outside, except for his hardcore brother, the lathe worker Wu Chao from the same place.

Speaking of which, this Wu Chao is five or six years younger than him, and his backgrounds are very different, and their understanding is also quite dramatic.

In the original factory, Wang Houpu, as a R&D engineer, when making changes to the parts of a certain gun, he put forward a processing requirement for a part, and many people could not achieve the process accuracy he required.

It wasn't until one day that he met Wu Chao and got the perfect part in his mind.

Since then, they have formed a fate, once Wang Houpu puts forward his own component requirements, Wu Chao can be very perfectly manufactured.

So in the later projects, the two also cooperated more and more closely, cherished each other, and became more and more satisfied with each other, and the two crossed the boundaries of age and background to become hardcore brothers.

After the little devils called, the arsenal was relocated, and most of the equipment was transported to the mainland, and Wang Houpu and Wu Chao also went to the mainland together.

But when they saw the increasingly chaotic management and the bureaucratic habits they were accustomed to, production did not go up, but the factory was about to close down, which made the two people disheartened and felt that there was no way to serve the country.

Under these circumstances, they heard that the border area was in urgent need of technical talents like them, and that it was the most active place to fight devils, so in order to find an opportunity to serve the country, they resigned and came here together.

Anyway, there is no one in charge of the chaotic factory, and no one cares if they stay or not, so as soon as they resign, the two of them go north alone.

Reality poured cold water on them, and now the conditions here are indeed too bad, compared with his original arsenal, it is simply a world of difference.

The dilapidated machine tools played the greatest role in Wu Chao's hands, and they were only able to make some simple weapons and equipment.

However, Wang Houpu's dream of developing new firearms is completely unlikely, whether it is equipment, raw materials or supporting workers, they do not support his high-end technology research and development now.

He stayed behind to design and improve low-level weapons such as border grenades.

But even so, Wang Houpu insisted on staying, and began to go to the original arsenal to inquire about the whereabouts of the equipment that had been left behind.

Some of the workers in the arsenal still stayed in the local area, so Wang Houpu was able to find some old connections to inquire, and some equipment that was too late to be moved was left in some local rivers and villages.

It's just that they are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and they can only rely on letters, although some of them provide the whereabouts of some equipment in the letters, but Wang Houpu has no ability to move them from thousands of miles away to the border area.

There is a dragon slaying skill, but there is no room to play, usually after work Wang Houpu feels very depressed, so he often drinks a little wine to relieve his boredom.

Gao Jianwu's advertisement, Wang Houpu also saw it, but with his understanding, he felt that this should be a farce, so he didn't think of any big Gushan in the past.

After work tonight, Wang Houpu returned home, poured another glass of wine as usual, and drank a little peanuts there.

Suddenly, a person ran over in a hurry, rushed into the house without knocking on the door, and shouted loudly, "Lao Wang, Lao Wang, your spring is coming." ”

"Wu Chao, what are you talking nonsense, what spring do I have? I'm just alone," Wang Houpu replied angrily.

"Come on, come on, have a drink with me, this wine is okay today. Compared to the sweet potato roast we usually drink, the taste is much more pure. ”

"What kind of wine are you drinking, let's go, hurry up, if it's late, your good things will be gone." Wu Chao impatiently took Wang Houpu's hand and was about to rush out.

"What's the matter? In such a hurry, Wu Chao, what are you doing? Wang Houpu struggled for a while, but he didn't break free, after all, Wu Chao was a lathe worker, and the strength of his hands was much stronger than him.

"Don't pull it, okay, okay, I'll go with you, you can tell me what's going on on the way."

Wu Chao briefly told Wang Houpu the ins and outs of the whole thing on the road.

It turned out that Wu Chao also came to the small theater by accident to listen to some opera or something to relieve his boredom, but when he came over tonight, he found that the small theater had changed, and now someone was giving technical lectures.

Originally, Wu Chao was not interested, and as soon as Gao Jianwu opened his mouth, he was the automatic principle and design of the rifle.

Wu Chao knew something about this thing from Wang Houpu, so he stayed and listened for a while, and now he discovered a new continent, although he is a lathe, but he still has his own technical skills, a lot of things, it is not so easy for you to deceive him, especially in terms of weapon design, he is doing this in the arsenal, and he processes a lot of related parts for rifles or something.

Isn't listening to Gao Jianwu's lecture what Wang Houpu dreams of doing?

So Wu Chao was impatient to call Wang Houpu.

He felt that Wang Houpu should be very interested in this, and he could hear whether Gao Jianwu was right.

In this era, people who come to the border area don't have many complicated thoughts, and even if Wang Houpu hears that Gao Jianwu is not right, the two sides will only communicate amicably, instead of tearing each other down.

After listening to Wu Chao's words, Wang Houpu's interest became stronger, after all, he is also doing weapon design, although the principle of rifle automaticism is not a particularly advanced technology, Wang Houpu has also learned from some materials from abroad, but after all, these materials are only half a claw, and no one has explained it thoroughly.

Wang Houpu hopes to meet a real expert to communicate with today.

But the greater the hope, the more worried Wang Houpu became, he was worried that when he got there, what he heard Gao Jianwu say was actually not as good as he imagined, so he would be very disappointed.
