In order to facilitate the inspection team to inspect the firearms, the director of the factory specially set up two tents at the shooting range observation platform, and basically put the firearms and tools needed for the test inside.

"Lao Zhao, you are very well prepared." Comrade Liu, who entered the tent, took a circle inside and took a newly baked Bayi assault rifle.

As soon as Comrade Liu's words fell, two more people came over from outside.

Both men looked to be in their fifties, wearing glasses, wearing a tunic with a pen pinned to the neckline of their tunics, and they were completely dressed as technicians.

Seeing these two people coming in, Comrade Liu, who was originally playing with the "Bayi" automatic rifle, put down the gun in his hand and walked forward quickly.

"Ning Gong, Qi Gong, you are here," Comrade Liu said hello and grabbed Jiang Yan next to him.

"Ning Gong, Qi Gong, let me introduce to you, this is Comrade Jiang Yan, who invented this assault rifle."

"Hello Comrade Jiang Yan, I'm Ning Yuancheng."

"Hello Comrade Jiang Yan, I am Qi Weimin."

After listening to the introduction of the two people, Jiang Yan opened his mouth with a smile on his face.

"Hello, Comrade Ning Yuancheng, Comrade Qi Weimin, I'm Jiang Yan."

Then Jiang Yan also stretched out his hand and shook hands with the two of them.

"Xiao Yan, you don't know yet! Comrade Ning Yuancheng and Comrade Qi Weimin used to work in the 626 factory, and they presided over the imitation of the Type 50 submachine gun and the American M2 carbine, and they were quite experienced. ”

The Type 50 submachine gun, which is an imitation of the PPS-43 submachine gun from the SL. The factory where this gun was produced was the 626 plant.

The predecessor of this 626 factory was the arsenal of the three eastern provinces founded by the warlord Zhang Zuolin in 1921. After the September 18 incident, during the Japanese puppet rule, it was called "the first manufacturing institute of Fengtian military establishment". In March 1946, the Kuomintang took over and renamed the "90 Arsenal Gun Station". After the liberation of the whole territory of Northeast China on November 2, 1948, the Military Industry Department of the Northeast Military Region took over the factory and changed it to "Wuyi Factory No. 1 Manufacturing Institute", and in November 1950, it was renamed "Wuyi Factory Gun Station".

In the early 1950s, the factory successfully trial-produced 300 M-type M2 carbines, and then trial-produced the PPSh-41 submachine gun, called the Type 50 submachine gun, and changed its drum to an arc-shaped magazine. In June 1950, after the outbreak of the Korean War, due to the danger of Shengjing being attacked by the enemy, the Northeast Bureau decided to move the relevant factories to the north, among which the "May Day Factory Gun Station" was moved to Bei'an. In January 1951, most of the workshops were installed and trial production began. On March 1, 1951, the Northeast Ordnance Industry Bureau officially changed the name of the factory to "32 Factory", and later called "State-owned 626 Factory", and "Qinghua Tool Factory" to the outside world. In the same month, the Type 50 submachine gun was officially finalized, transferred to mass production, and sent to the Korean battlefield. During the period of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, most of the standard light weapons used by the volunteers came from the 626 factory.

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, we're just picking up people's teeth, it's not as good as this assault rifle designed by Comrade Jiang Yan, he is the first rifle in our country to shoot on its own."

After Qi Weimin said this, Ning Yuancheng next to him said.

"I didn't expect Comrade Jiang Yan to design this rifle so young, this is really a hero out of a teenager!"

These two people sang and harmonized, and Jiang Yan was a little embarrassed when he said it, so Jiang Yan hurriedly waved his hand.

"Qi Gong and Ning Gong are both old-timers, the kid can't be praised like this, it's serious, it's serious."

After a few more greetings, Qi Weimin opened his mouth at this time: "Comrade Jiang Yan, how did you come up with the idea of designing an empty gun to hang up, and what principle are you based on?" ”

Hearing Qi Weimin ask like this, Jiang Yan was stunned for a moment, and thought for a while before speaking.

"The inspiration for the empty gun hang-up is from Citigroup's M1 Garand rifle, which will automatically exit the magazine after firing, reminding the combatant that he has finished shooting, and I thought if I could design a similar device at that time, so I designed the empty gun hang-up, which can remind the soldiers who are fighting that the bullets in the magazine have been fired and need to be replaced."

"Actually, the principle of this empty gun hang-up is very simple." After Jiang Yan finished speaking, he picked up an empty magazine from the table and pointed to the bullet board in the magazine.

"When the bullets in the magazine are empty, the magazine support plate will push up to the protrusion of the hanger handle. At this time, after the last bullet is fired, the sleeve moves backwards, and when the hanger groove is aligned with the hanger handle, the hanger handle moves up to resist the hanger groove under the push of the magazine spring, so the sleeve cannot be reset, and it is left in the rear to remind the shooter that the bullet is empty, and even if the magazine is pulled out, the hanger handle that is held against the sleeve will not be restored. ”

"When the new magazine was inserted, the ejector plate was pressed underneath and could not hold the hang-up handle due to the bullets in the magazine. At this point, the shooter presses the hanger handle down with his fingers, and the hanger handle will detach from the sleeve, so the sleeve resets and loads the first bullet. Alternatively, you can pull the sleeve back, at this time the hang-up handle is reset under the action of the spring on the right, and the sleeve is reset and loaded after the sleeve is released. ”

Hearing Jiang Yan's explanation, Qi Weimin suddenly realized, took the magazine and looked at it repeatedly, and then said: "So that's the case, I understand." ”

"I have to say, you have the same idea as a genius."

"Qi Gong, you have praised it, I think even if I can't design it, according to the ingenuity of our national engineers, I believe they will invent it soon."

At this time, Wang Hui came over with a list and said to Qi Weimin and Ning Yuancheng: "Qi Gong, Ning Gong, this is the roster of all the third-level workers in the project, you can draw workers at will and use them for manufacturing." ”

Hearing the words of military representative Wang Hui, Qi Weimin nodded, took the roster he had taken, turned his head to Ning Yuancheng and said: "Lao Ning, you will take some technicians to select the production parts of the workers in a while, pay attention to making records, I will take people here to test the automatic rifles that have been produced, and wait until the new guns are manufactured and re-test." ”

"I understand, Lao Qi, the production side will be handed over to me, you can rest assured."

Hearing the conversation between the two people, Jiang Yan understood that this group of technicians was obviously Qi Weimin who came to get the idea.

Seeing Ning Yuancheng lead people away, Qi Weimin began to arrange for the remaining engineers to disassemble the automatic rifles on the table according to the drawings, and took the measuring tools to measure each part, and recorded them in the notebook while measuring.

At this time, Wang Hui came to Jiang Yan and pulled Jiang Yan out of the tent, and whispered to Jiang Yan: "Xiao Jiang, there is no problem over there!" ”

Hearing Wang Hui ask, Jiang Yan didn't think about it and said directly: "No problem, most of the parts on our firearm can be stamped and manufactured, and the rest of the parts are relatively simple, don't talk about third-level workers, there are some second-level workers with good skills can be manufactured, and many of the equipment in our factory are disassembled and debugged by me with technicians, and some of them have been repaired, and the repaired machinery is almost not much worse than the original factory, so you just put the new one in your stomach!" ”

"Okay, you just have it in your heart, and I'll wait for your good news." Hearing Jiang Yan's answer, Wang Hui was relieved.
