Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 1071 Only a top student can attract a top student!

At the beginning of July, under the cover of the [-]th Group Army, Tang Dao and the others successfully arrived at a famous coal mine in the north after spending nearly five days.

It is located at the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain, an important area at the junction of Shanxi, Hebei, and Henan provinces, but this large coal mine, which will be called Fengfeng Coal Mine in the future, is famous not because of its geographical location, but because of its rich raw coal Reserves, up to billions of tons of reserves, and its coal seams are shallowly buried and of high quality, even in China in the future, it will be a large-scale enterprise on the list.

It's just that during this period, its production rights belonged to the Germans, and even the Japanese who had already occupied most of North China could only drooling and watched helplessly as the Germans used a series of special trains to transport these "black gold" to the port for re-delivery. Shipped thousands of miles away.

Tang Dao also met here a great doctor who received a telegram from the general manager of his Far East branch and was waiting for him in advance.

Wearing a one-piece engineer suit and wearing glasses, Dr. Grunov, who is not as strong as ordinary Germans and looks a little weak, stared at Tang Dao for a long time, but couldn't find any memory related to Tang Dao. Annoyance flashed in the gray pupils.

"Have we met?"

"To be honest, no, but I have been famous for Dr. Grunov for a long time!" Tang Dao was very honest this time, and did not come up with any tricks such as memory breakpoints.

Germans dislike being deceived the most. Whether Rostav deceived him or Tang Dao deceived Rostav, for this doctor, it is obviously a blasphemy against the precious character of honesty.

He frowned fiercely, snorted coldly, felt that Grunov, who was deceiving, didn't even have the hypocritical politeness of the person Rostav had deliberately confessed to be important, and turned around and left.

"Doctor, I can invest in the design and manufacture of the metal stamping machine gun you proposed!" Tang Dao, who was standing there, was not embarrassed, and directly threw out the biggest temptation for straight men of science and engineering.

"You? How much money does a Chinese whose own country is at war have? Do you know how much a stamping machine costs?" Grunov stopped in his tracks and turned his head, his eyes full of contempt.

This is already the engineer's greatest restraint, otherwise, his original words should be, you Chinese are all bereaved dogs, so what qualifications do you have to invest any money without shame.

"I will invest 800 million U.S. dollars in capital to build a steel plant with an annual output of one million tons of steel here. This is an agreement that I have initially drawn up with Mr. Rostav, the general manager of your company's Far East Branch. If you If you don't believe me, you can call Mr. Rostav at any time." Tang Dao looked calm and calm.

"In addition, I will add another 500 million US dollars as your laboratory construction funds for the doctor. All the equipment and raw materials you need to purchase, including the employment of various personnel, are up to you. If the funds are not enough, I can continue In addition, all finished designs are signed by you as the first author."

Grunov's slightly gray pupils shrank fiercely, and he stayed where he was, staring at the young Chinese man he met for the first time.

It's not that Grunov has never seen money. The weapons and equipment designed by his design department have sold hundreds of millions of dollars, but that is the sales of a large arms manufacturing company with tens of thousands of employees.

But a young man like Tang Dao, who is still a young man from a war-torn country, opened his mouth to invest 800 million U.S. dollars to build a factory, and 500 million U.S. dollars to build him a laboratory, and he took full control of it, which still surprised him. Living.

"Your salary is tentatively set at 5000 US dollars per month. If you design a finished product that can be mass-produced, the bonus will be one year's salary, and the patent royalty is not included. What do you think?" Tang Dao continued to increase. "Also, please don't question my ability to pay. I will start the injection of the first batch of funds after you agree. I believe you know the character of Mr. Rostav in your company very well."

Are you moral?If Rostav were here, he would have blurted out like this.

You know, he is the general manager of the Far East Branch of Krupp Corporation, and his salary at this time is only $1500 a month, which is already 20 times that of ordinary Germanic employees.

As a result, Tang Dao was lucky. When he opened his mouth, there were three and a half general managers of the Far East Company. The bonuses were based on the 3-month monthly salary.

If I had known this earlier, I would have cooperated with a chicken, and I would have come to work for you.

If the Tang Dao that Rostav encountered half a month ago was filled with the rotten taste of money, then now there is Gong Shaoxun's Tang Dao with 80 taels of gold as the foundation, from the top of the head to the soles of the feet. I can't wait to be stamped with the labels of local tyrants, just like the future boss of Shanxi Coal, buying houses by building, not picking.

"No, you know what I want to design? My idea is actually not accepted by most people, otherwise I wouldn't be sent to the damn East, no, don't get me wrong, I mean" Gru Dr. Nove was also obviously taken aback by the money-sprinkling temperament of a certain Chinese local tycoon, and subconsciously became a little more careful when speaking.

This is the magic power of money, which prevails all over the world.

Especially when there are so many that people can only look up to, just like how many people in the future will call the boss of a certain Baba as 'Papa Ma'.

"Hehe, Dr. Grunov, I remember your country's philosopher Schopenhauer said a word: Genius is always lonely. If your production design of metal stamping process is released, it will be rejected by those who call it an expert. Accepted by mediocre people, it means that your ideas are only in line with the aesthetics and needs of mediocre people, so why should I hire you with a monthly salary of 5000 dollars? 200 dollars may be more in line with your doctor's worth, after all, you You have read books for so many years, haven't you?" Tang Dao replied with a smile.

"If you are a liar, you must be the most talented liar in the world. Even the philosophers in our country know it. I feel that I am almost convinced by you." Grunov was stunned for a long time before shaking his head. Head sighed.

"Haha! I can also promise you that I will never use the weapons you designed against your motherland. In fact, if you can't build me a [-]-ton giant ship, I can't let you My soldiers have swum across the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean." Tang Dao laughed and continued to promise.

"I know why Mr. Rostav cooperated with you. You really understand people's hearts, and you know what I'm worried about." Grunov's eyes flashed with amazement, and he replied bluntly.

Although Grunov is an engineer who is not very good at communicating with people, but to become a top talent in a certain industry, his IQ is definitely higher than most people, or much higher.

When Tang Dao said that he would cooperate with Krupp to build a steel plant and invest a lot of money in building a laboratory for him, Grunov understood that the laboratory was just a rhetoric. Cover the military factory.

Yes, although Tang Dao is wearing regular clothes, full of local tyrant temperament, and has a great sense of humor when speaking, but Grunov's sixth sense tells him that Tang Dao is a soldier, a Chinese soldier who has experienced the battlefield.

Because, in Tang Dao's eyes, there is a kind of temperament that only people like Grunov possess - arrogance.

Grunov's arrogance comes from his scientific research talents in his own field. He is already the top talent in Germany in metal stamping technology. This is also the improvement of his MG34 machine gun across fields. Its kicked off the grounds.

And Tang Dao's arrogance does not come from money, but from the battlefield. He must have killed many of his enemies!
Tang Dao has always been very gentle, but Grunov still perceives the disregard for life and death in Tang Dao's eyes through his own keen intuition. If he becomes his enemy, he will definitely have nightmares.

The purpose of such a terrifying soldier to invest huge sums of money in building a weapons laboratory has become clear.A military factory hidden under the control of the German arms company can continuously deliver weapons to the Chinese army entrenched in the Taihang Mountains. I believe that no Chinese can resist this temptation.

It’s just that, for a person like Grunov, it doesn’t matter to help the Chinese, but he is still very clear about the performance of the machine gun he wants to design. If one day the Chinese point that machine gun at the empire, how many Germans will Fallen under the rain of bullets?This is the picture that Grunov did not expect to see.

But Tang Dao completely dispelled Grunov's worries with a very humorous remark.yes!The Chinese don't even have warships, how can they cross the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean by swimming?
"However, I am now an employee of Krupp." Grunov still wanted to make a final struggle.

After all, no matter how high the power and the temptation of salary are, for a patriotic scientific researcher, it is not as important as serving his own country.

"I promised to invest in the construction of a steel plant and only own 40.00% of the shares. One of the most important conditions is that Dr. Grunov, you will become the master of Laboratory No. 1, and your personnel relationship will no longer belong to Krupp Far East It belongs to this joint venture steel factory, and without my permission, even Mr. Rostav cannot give you orders."

"But apart from a machine gun design whose design concept is not mature enough, I have nothing to offer. Let me take on this, I'm afraid." Grunov was already moved.

"Your not-so-mature design, in my opinion, is a genius-level invention. I believe that when this machine gun comes out, the Japanese will tremble in front of this machine gun." Tang Dao said seriously. "Moreover, you not only want to continue to improve and hurry up to come up with a sample gun, I also have several gun designs that need you to realize."

"You are also proficient in firearm design?" Grunov's eyes flashed with surprise, and more of it was disbelief.

Regardless of the local tyrant atmosphere shown by Tang Dao or the military temperament shown by the core, it seems that it has nothing to do with the design of firearms.

"This is the design of a weapon expert under my command. Dr. Grunov can take a look and give some advice." Tang Dao took out a few design drawings from his carry-on bag.

This is Tang Dao's final trump card specially prepared to fool this gun design genius. When money and power can't fool him, then he can only use Xueba to Xueba. People of the same kind always have the same topic.

"Is this an anti-tank gun?" Grunov immediately recognized the gun with a long enough barrel on the first piece of paper.

Where there is a spear, there is a shield. This is an unbreakable truth since human beings have wars.From ancient times to the present, every new type of weapon has appeared, and there has been a targeted cracking technique.

Steel giants like tanks appeared on the battlefield. The Germans were scared by the steel giants at first, and could only watch the tanks rampage on the battlefield. But in the following days, professional 'anti-tank' weapons appeared, changing the The fact that tanks dominate the battlefield, anti-tank rifles are one of them.

For example, Finland's L39 Lahti anti-tank rifle, which can overturn an elephant with one shot, is also called an elephant gun.The gun has an overall size of 224cm and a total weight of 49.5kg. It can penetrate 1000mm steel plates at a distance of 12 meters and can deal with T26 tanks of neighboring fighting nations.

Another example is the 20mm caliber S-18 series anti-tank guns of the Germanic Empire, which can penetrate 500mm armor at a distance of 30 meters, which can be called anti-tank guns.

But while these relatively well-known anti-tank guns have a lot of power, they all have a huge flaw-too heavy.

The S-18 anti-tank gun that Grunov is familiar with weighs 53 kilograms. Without a combat team, who can carry this heavy gun around on the battlefield?To put it bluntly, this thing is the same as a heavy machine gun, its mobile firepower is too weak, it is easily captured by enemy mortars and tank guns, and its survivability on the battlefield is too poor.

But as Grunov carefully read the drawings and various parameter designs, his eyes were full of horror. If this anti-tank rifle that is still on the drawings can be realized, it will definitely be an epoch-making masterpiece of anti-tank guns.

Because, the total weight of this anti-tank rifle with a barrel length of 1.277 meters and a total length of 2 meters is only 17.3 kilograms. Only a stronger soldier is needed to easily carry this gun.

What's terrible is that the gun has become lighter, but its power is not weak at all. The anti-tank gun with steel core bullets can reach a muzzle velocity of 1020 m/s, and can penetrate 500 mm armor with an inclination angle of 60 degrees at a distance of 20 meters. Or a vertical 30mm steel plate, if a special armor-piercing projectile is used, it can even penetrate a 300mm steel plate at a distance of 40 meters.

"This gun can be designed, but can it really be made?" Grunov asked in disbelief.

"Of course we can. In fact, we have already produced a sample gun. Although the power is not as great as in theory due to material and machining problems, it can still reach more than 70.00%." ​​Tang Dao nodded firmly.

Although this statement is outright bragging, this design was produced by him during the week in Linfen, but it is completely plagiarized from the PTRD-41 anti-tank gun developed by the fighting nation a few years later, which has been proven in the war Own.

At the beginning of the war, the frontal armor of the No. 37 tank, which was the main force of the Germanic Empire Army that invaded the fighting nation, had a thickness of 200 mm, but it was still penetrated by the PTRD-41 anti-tank equipped by the fighting nation at a distance of 14.5 meters. What other half-tracks Lightly armed targets such as armored vehicles and armored reconnaissance vehicles are as fragile as white paper under [-]mm bullets.

The frontal armor of the Japanese Type 89 main battle tanks on the Sino-Japanese battlefield is even less than 30 mm. If the Four Lines Regiment has this kind of anti-tank rifle, the Japanese will really be beaten to tears.

The 37mm anti-tank gun weighs more than 200 kilograms, and the target is large. Once it is targeted by infantry guns or grenades, the chances of casualties are very high, but this kind of anti-tank gun team that only needs two people can just cat a foxhole It is possible to carry out sneak attacks on tanks hundreds of meters away, so it is no wonder that the Japanese do not cry.

Even if it's not an armored target, it's a kind of fortification made of bricks and logs. With this kind of gun, can't you shoot a hole?

With a weight of 17.3 kilograms, it can even support long-distance marches and cannons that can walk properly.

Moreover, for a sniper like Tang Dao, he knows better that this so-called anti-tank rifle is actually the originator of the future anti-material sniper rifle, and with a scope, it is a super sniper rifle.

From then on, it is not a dream to kill the Japanese 1000 meters away!Moreover, it is still the kind of two shots.

"Genius, the one who designed this weapon is really a genius." Grunov was almost fascinated by the design of the anti-tank rifle on the blueprint.

It’s not that the Germanic Empire’s military did not realize that the anti-tank rifles currently equipped by them were too heavy, and had already put forward suggestions for improvement. The current more radical opinions have temporarily gained the upper hand, but the anti-tank rifles that directly reduce the caliber to 7.92 mm The tank rifle is light, but its armor-piercing ability is extremely weakened, making Grunov think that it is putting the cart before the horse and being stupid.

An anti-tank gun, no matter how lightweight it is, can only penetrate 300 mm of armor at a distance of 20 meters. How about a ball?

And an anti-tank rifle that maintains such a balance between armor-piercing ability and its own weight like the one on the drawing is a truly genius design.

"Hey, that designer is a famous genius in my country. When you become the head of the laboratory, Doctor, I will introduce you to him." Tang Dao continued to fool around with a smile.

"Okay! I will learn from this talented gun designer." Grunov nodded very seriously.

At this moment, the Germanic genius designer even began to appreciate those homeless brick-and-mortar beasts. If it weren't for their blindness, how could he have the opportunity to come to the east, which is considered an industrial desert, and how could he have the opportunity to get acquainted with them? Such a genius designer?

But if he knew that these blueprints were concocted by the smiling man in front of him, maybe...
Anyway, Tang Dao will not admit that he copied the fighting nation, and those big guys with long hair on the chest are still drawing on the blueprints now!It is already very worthy of them for not showing the AK47 design drawing.

"It's a heavy machine gun, but it's quite big." Then Grunov flipped over a blueprint and commented on the familiar firearm.

To be honest, in this era, the heavy machine guns designed by various countries are similar, and they all work hard on the rate of fire and power.

However, for Grunov, who has made up his mind to develop a new generation of metal stamping process design, this traditional design is scum.

But soon, his eyes froze.

The gun on the blueprint seemed to be different from what he had imagined, and it took another path.
