The rise of great powers: starting from military industry

Liu Tao couldn't help but feel excited.

The affirmation of Commander Liu and Political Commissar Wang represents the army.

With their support, the procedures for this automatic rifle will become simpler.

Even if the review takes a long time, as long as the troops have a tough attitude, it is very simple to set up an experimental group or two experimental groups.

And it does not require the consent of the relevant departments of the military industry system. It only requires an order from the military region, and the military region will purchase it directly.

The attitude of the troops will also greatly affect the decisions of superiors.

"Director Wang, your Panshan Machinery Factory has launched another satellite this time. It's unbelievable. It's unbelievable. You actually developed such a good rifle." Captain Liu stroked the gun in his hand as if it were his most beloved. women in general.

For soldiers, guns are the best companions.

Previously, Commander Liu was very satisfied with the ‘Type 78 Pistol’. When he went to the division headquarters for meetings, he would always bring it to display first.

Because his pistol, numbered 0, was the first prototype gun made by Liu Tao, which is of great significance.

Not long after this, Panshan Machinery Factory once again produced an automatic rifle with excellent performance.

The previous unhappiness caused by the quality problems of the Type 63 automatic rifle is gone, and there is only love for this new rifle.

Captain Liu knows very well that once this gun is recognized, it will definitely cause a sensation in the firearms field across the country.

Wang Tiezhu had a smile on his face, grinning from ear to ear, "The mission of our factory is to make good guns for soldiers to fight the enemy bravely and protect their homes and country."

"Captain Liu, Political Commissar Wang, I will trouble you more in the future." Wang Tiezhu said.

At this time, Wang Tiezhu has decided to call his old army after finishing his work tomorrow.

Just yesterday, the 41st Division purchased 500 '78 Type Pistols' from Panshan Machinery Factory. The price of each pistol was 200 yuan. Although this was only 100,000 yuan, it was also extra money for Panshan Machinery Factory. .

The planned unit price of a Type 63 automatic rifle is 400 yuan. This automatic rifle has such good performance, so it should be 500 yuan or even 600 yuan.

Not to mention too much, a regiment has 1,200 guns, which is at least 600,000 yuan, plus bullets, it is not a small amount.

"Haha, we will report the situation to the division headquarters later. We may have to take away these 100 guns first." Captain Liu said.

It's simpler and clearer to say a thousand words and ten thousand on the phone. It's better to go directly to the division headquarters with a gun and let the division leaders try it in person.

"No problem!" Wang Tiezhu agreed without hesitation.

He is not worried about the lack of money from the army. The reputation of the soldiers has always been very good.

The next day, around ten o'clock in the morning.

The expert group organized by superiors arrived at Panshan Machinery Factory.

Wang Baoguo personally led the team, showing that he attached great importance to this matter.

The ‘Type 78 Pistol’ gave Wang Baoguo a huge surprise. But before the surprise passed, Panshan Machinery Factory actually launched another satellite.

A brand new automatic rifle is of much greater significance than a pistol.

Pistols are mainly guns equipped by military cadres, and at most police equipment. The automatic rifle is different. Every soldier can equip it.

Now the total number of troops in the country exceeds 6.1 million. If each person has an automatic rifle, then 6.1 million automatic rifles will have to be produced in the first round.

"Old Wang, you have launched another satellite this time." Wang Baoguo shook hands with Wang Tiezhu and said with emotion: "Compared with you, other factories only know about quotas and subsidies. Those firearms design institutes should also work hard. Reflect and reflect.”

Wang Tiezhu blushed slightly, because when he called Wang Baoguo before, he always asked for production quotas and subsidies.

There is no other way. If we don’t strive for quotas and subsidies, the entire factory will have to drink from the northwest wind.

After some pleasantries, everyone came to the conference room.

Compared with last time, this time there were more regimental commander Liu and political commissar Wang.

This change may seem small, but it is actually a big change.

This means that the army attaches great importance to this automatic rifle, and the opinions of the army can naturally have a great influence.

Compared to before, the preparations this time were obviously much better.

Every expert has a new automatic rifle and a design drawing.

Liu Tao also has more experience than before, and he introduced the performance parameters of the gun very simply and clearly.

When Liu Tao said that the service life of this automatic rifle had reached 20,000 rounds, the conference room suddenly erupted in heated discussion.

"20,000 rounds, how is this possible?"

"The Type 63 automatic rifle is said to have a lifespan of 15,000 rounds, but even if it is made by a big factory, 10,000 rounds is good. The Type 63 made by many factories only has about 7,000 rounds."

"If it really reaches 20,000 rounds, the cost of use will undoubtedly drop a lot."

"20,000 rounds? Whether it can reach 20,000 rounds, we still need to conduct testing."

For an automatic rifle, performance is important, but cost is also important.

Cost includes manufacturing cost, procurement cost, use cost, and maintenance cost. The longer the service life, the lower the use cost. The maintenance cost is related to the structure of the gun and whether it is easy to maintain.

As an expert in the industry, I am very familiar with the development and actual situation of China's firearms.

Millions of Type 63s have been produced, but this does not mean that the quality of these guns is the same. On the contrary, the Type 63 automatic rifles produced by different factories are uneven.

"We are not sure about the lifespan yet, but our company personally tested this gun yesterday. It has high accuracy, fast rate of fire, and great power. The structure of the gun is very simple, and it is easy for soldiers to understand it." Captain Liu At this time, he said: "However, based on the response of the troops stationed at the factory, they tested three guns, and each gun was fired with 20,000 rounds and can still be used normally."

Wang Baoguo and others all looked surprised. They did not expect Panshan Machinery Factory to move so quickly.

Although, the lifespan of a gun requires accumulating data through the use of many guns, not just three guns.

But it also shows that the performance of this gun in terms of longevity is indeed excellent.

Coupled with the presence of Commander Liu, the performance of this automatic rifle has been confirmed.

Everyone looked at the pictures first. When they saw the neatly drawn pictures with clear lines, giving people a sense of beauty, many people secretly sighed that Liu Tao, a newly graduated college student, had such good drawing skills.

The drawings were very detailed and everyone looked at them very carefully.

After the meeting, it was impossible for them to obtain the drawings. The drawings would only be at the Panshan Machinery Factory or the Yun Provincial Defense Management Office.

This kind of military product design drawings are highly confidential. Even if they leave this factory, they can forget the performance parameters.

During the review, every detail must be scrutinized and this first level must be checked as well as possible.

There is no problem with the design drawing, this must be ensured.

Everyone looked at it carefully and were immersed in the design drawings. There are not many design drawings, but everyone looked at them carefully and then looked at them again.

But what surprised them was that, just like the last design drawing of the 'Type 78 Pistol', they could not find any flaws at all.

The design of this gun is perfect.
