Chapter 280 Marriage is also a stumbling block; the original submachine gun

With the consent of Zhu Lingjing, Xu Shangdan found here also agreed, and the good start of the nuclear program met Zhou Changfeng's best expectations.

The officials of the imperial court are not stupid. Once the theoretical demonstration is successful, massive resources will be poured into the nuclear program. In the most ideal and optimistic situation, in just three years, black and red mushroom clouds will be scattered all over the Western Regions. Soaring above the Gobi Desert.

Zhou Changfeng, who was in a good mood, left Imperial Gezhi University and went to the Ministry of War for a routine debriefing.

There are not many debriefing processes, just submit the report, and then someone will ask questions after reviewing it, and answer it if it is.

But because it involves the extraordinary special operations unit of Yiluan Division, the question this time is much more comprehensive, unlike sometimes just a few casual remarks that are just perfunctory.

"...Generally speaking, the effect of this operation is extraordinary. After all, a simple air strike cannot guarantee the death of the enemy chieftain." The major put away the documents while signing and stamping, and then asked casually: "Sir, do you have any more information?" Any personal opinion?"

"To put it simply, don't underestimate or despise special operations, but don't overestimate or myth it either."

"That's true. A dagger can't beat a long knife in the front, but as long as the timing and usage are right, the dagger can also kill the opponent neatly. Okay, go slowly."

After finishing his business, Zhou Changfeng went straight to Xia's house.

Because it happened to be the time when school was over, Xia Xiaoshi had just arrived home.

The reunion with his wife who had been separated for more than a month made his already happy mood suddenly rise to a peak.

The two embraced face to face for a long time, until Zhou Changfeng noticed Gao Linglu's figure out of the corner of his eye, and then they hurriedly separated.

Ahem, embarrassment, my mother-in-law saw it!

There is no big fish or meat for dinner, and the richness is not as rich as any banquet, but the comfort and leisure in daily life are not experienced when you are traveling outside.

"...After this incident, it is not difficult to see that the current state of the court is too slow and dull."

"It's true. It's normal for most people to not take the initiative, but it's fatal for a few people in charge of authority to do nothing. Fortunately, someone finally stood up."

"I inquired about that person a few days ago." Xia Bing said while pouring wine, "Based on intuition... I can't guarantee it. He... doesn't seem to be voluntary, but he probably got the promise."

Zhou Changfeng said nonchalantly: "It's not important. The main reason is that the current state of the court and the central government is hard not to make people anxious. Everyone is self-interested, and the response to major changes will definitely be slow."

"Including keeping one's pockets safe and protecting one's life wisely, it is naturally impossible to admit omissions and save the current situation."

"The experience this time is very useful. There is still a chance to deal with and make up for the problems that have been exposed. I hope that the dignitaries who are used to living a life of luxury and money can wake up a little bit."

Xia Bing, with sharp eyes, said leisurely: "Actually, His Majesty can control all of this to a considerable extent, but he is not young, and he is not in good health."

"It seems to be true. There is a feeling of depression in the imperial court. It would be great if there is someone who can stir up trouble."

While the two were chatting, Gao Linglu and Xia Xiaoshi, mother and daughter, were eating in silence. After a while, the sky outside the window became darker and darker.

It wouldn't be appropriate to stay any longer, even if Xia Xiaoshi wanted to stay, Gao Linglu would definitely not agree to her—is there any reason to stay at her mother's house after her husband returns home?

Although she lives in her natal family these days, Xia Xiaoshi will go back every now and then, mainly to clean the inside and outside of the house.

I have eaten dinner, and I have nothing to worry about when I get home, so...

It's nothing more than normal and reasonable to feel full and warm.

But Xia Xiaoshi said in a low voice: "Sir, the time is not right, today...then nothing is gone yet."

aha?hateful!What a disappointment!

Zhou Changfeng covered his face and said helplessly, "Okay, we have encountered obstacles in the way."

The scene was very embarrassing.

The two were silent for a few seconds, and the shy Xia Xiaoshi said softly, "Then...then, do you want to...I'll try..."

Surprised, Zhou Changfeng was overjoyed.

Baha-baha-baha-

The beauty of it is extraordinary and really nourishing, which can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words.

The next day, early in the morning, Zhou Changfeng, who was in a daze, was awakened by the sound of Xia Xiaoshi getting up beside him.

He opened his eyes and saw her tiptoeing off the quilt and getting out of bed, so he asked, "What time is it now? Are you going to school?"

"It's more than half of the time, you don't want to sleep for a while."

"No need, it's about the same as usual, I'm used to it."

The same is about dressing and washing, no matter how rough women are, they will still be slower than men.

After Zhou Changfeng finished washing, Xia Xiaoshi in the living room will get dressed.

Later, when she was going to the East Wing to make breakfast, Zhou Changfeng, who had nothing to do, opened the mailbox at the door of the house and took out a large stack of letters from it.

He looked through it from top to bottom, and felt that none of them were important, only the paper telegrams from Li Shuye and Hengguang Company attracted his attention.

During this period of time, Cao Shaoxun and Wang Lai of Hengguang Company have completed the design of the new submachine gun according to the technical indicators proposed by Zhou.

After preliminary testing, the sample gun received two further modifications, but they were only minor fine-tuning, so it was "prototype modification [-]".

From the wording of the letter, it can be seen that Hengguang Company is very tangled and contradictory about the evaluation performance of this type of submachine gun.

On the one hand, the test results are indeed good. This is a fact, not made up;

Tsk, it looks like a very pedantic and old-fashioned person when facing new things.

Hengguang Company mailed two "Prototype Change II" to the station of the First Marine Regiment in Jiangxinzhou for Zhou Changfeng's personal review and evaluation.

If you count the days, it should be here in two days.

In the east wing, Xia Xiaoshi opened a square meat can, poured out a whole piece of meat inside, and then swung a knife to cut it into thin pieces as thick as a little finger.

This is not purely composed of fat and lean meat, but a canned luncheon meat, which is made by mixing starch and minced meat.

In history, canned luncheon meat originated in the United States during the Great Depression. The son of a food merchant in Minnesota invented this canned meat made of starch and minced meat. Poor Americans can only eat potatoes to satisfy their hunger and cannot afford meat. Luncheon meat, which is only one third of the price of ordinary meat, is very popular.

But now it is different. This kind of canned meat was born in Daming around 20 years ago in Zhichang.

Because of the huge population, the material supply is difficult to meet the needs of the people. For ordinary people, it is a very happy thing to have enough money to eat meat every now and then. Eating meat openly has been a great face since ancient times.

For this reason, the businessmen of food companies who smelled business opportunities, in order to expand the lower-level market, figured out such cheap canned meat.

Frying, deep-frying, stuffing, stir-frying, steaming... Making this thing into different dishes with various cooking methods has almost become a must-have skill for a generation of women in Ming Dynasty.

After more than ten years of economic development, material supplies have become more abundant and living standards have risen. Canned luncheon meat, which was originally popular among citizens, has naturally begun to decline.

Xia Xiaoshi bought this stuff mainly because she thought it was convenient for frying, and occasionally changed the taste, as long as she didn't eat it every day, the taste was actually pretty good.

Heat the oil in a pan, spread a dozen thin pieces of meat on a flat surface, and the sound of sizzling under high-temperature roasting fills the kitchen.

Boil a pot of water later, add a handful of noodles, beat two eggs, sprinkle some chopped green onions, and the ordinary breakfast is completed like this.

From the perspective of nutrition in later generations, it can be said that it is very unhealthy to eat such a high-carbohydrate diet in the morning, and it is still fried, but in this era, it seems that there is no need to consider whether it is healthy or not?
"It's too late, I'm leaving first."

"Don't worry, pay attention to safety."

After sucking up her portion of noodles, Xia Xiaoshi hurriedly picked up her bag and set off.

After watching her close the door and leave, Zhou Changfeng continued to eat leisurely, and then went out.

Full of expectations for the submachine gun samples, he drove straight to the riverside wharf, ready to take a boat to Jiangxinzhou.

Coincidentally, the postal staff responsible for delivering the goods were pushing a tricycle and negotiating with the guards at the pier.

"Why is there a gun in this one?"

"I don't know, my errand is just delivery."

"Weird, what are you sending us a gun for? Let's see who sent it."

Lightly stepping on the brake, releasing the clutch, and shifting to neutral, Zhou Changfeng drove the off-road vehicle to a parking lot at the pier, and then came to the checkpoint.

Several guards here immediately saluted with their guns raised.

Sure enough, the package that had been in circulation for several days before being delivered here was sent by Hengguang Company.

Because he was full of interest, Zhou Changfeng couldn't wait to take out the parts of one of the submachine guns while the ferry was still sailing.

Since this gun is in a state of incomplete disassembly, the main parts can be counted with two hands. The submachine gun with a free action is simple, and even the firing pin is fixed and integrated with the action.

The whole gun is relatively square, divided into upper and lower receivers, with a rectangular cross-section, stamped and formed from thin steel plates, and the front horizontal hinge as the axis, which can be opened and closed up and down.

The magazine well is located at the back, and there is a small grip on the front; the butt is made of wood, which is still not "simple" enough, and can be replaced with steel.

The gun body of the upper and lower shells is quite thin, just like a tin toy, without the solid, heavy and delicate feeling of the milling receiver at all.

Seeing this, several officers and non-commissioned officers who were watching curiously showed puzzled and contemptuous expressions—what kind of rough-made thing is this?

"Is this the air gun toy you bought?" a second lieutenant asked in surprise.

"It's not like that. I think it's a self-made gun made by the people. I saw a lot of it when I was a child." Another sergeant said.

Zhou Changfeng smiled, and said while fiddling with it: "On the contrary, let alone folks, even workshops and small factories can't make this gun."

Qualified mass stamping manufacturing is not something that small factories can do, they are only suitable for using the milling process honestly.

In fact, the workmanship of this submachine gun is relatively good in Zhou Changfeng's opinion, the corners have been carefully polished, and the surface has also been treated with blued process.

If you take out a Sten MkII, everyone will be shocked by its crudeness and roughness.

Zhou Changfeng, who entered the barracks with a "toy gun", became the focus, everyone was confused, what happened to the leader today?
He casually called a few officers, soldiers and civilian ordnance officers, and a group of them came to the shooting range at the station with a box full of 9.6 mm pistols.

The 9.6×20mm pistol ammunition used by the Ming Dynasty and other countries under the suzerain-vassal system was designed and finalized in the 17th year of Zhichang, and it is a unique pistol ammunition.

Its caliber is 12.9mm, bottle-shaped, bottomless, Bodin-style primer, full bullet weight 7.7g, warhead weight 220g, average chamber pressure [-]MPa, bullet casing mainly made of galvanized steel, painted steel, brass texture Not many.

When fired on a pistol, its muzzle velocity is already 395m/s, and the kinetic energy of the muzzle is as high as 600J; when fired on a submachine gun with a longer barrel, it will increase to 720J, thus becoming one of the most powerful military pistol bullets in the world One, it can be said that it is only for hunks.

In contrast, when the American .45ACP pistol bullet is fired on the M1A1 Thomson submachine gun, the muzzle velocity is only 282m/s, and the muzzle kinetic energy is 570J.

The [-]-type pistol bullet with straight trajectory and powerful power can be said to be a perfect submachine gun ammunition by nature. He jumped up to the sky.

"Whoa-"

Five boxes of silver galvanized shell bullets were poured on the table, and several people began to press bullets into the magazines.

Although the failure rate of double-row and double-feed magazines is higher, it will be much easier to load bullets. Double-row and single-feed magazines will be very difficult after most of the pressure, and the last few bullets need to be used. Press it in.

The thin and tall armorer held back for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking: "Dare to ask, sir, where did this gun come from, and why is it so... rough?"

"A private gun factory designed it according to my suggestion. The roughness is a bit rough, but the performance should be fine." Zhou Changfeng inserted a magazine into the magazine well, then slammed the pull bolt to load it, and released the safety .

There is no speed machine, only two modes of insurance and fully automatic shooting, which can save a few parts.

"Tat-tat! Tat-tat!"

"Tat-tat--"

Zhou Changfeng, who looked normal, used Lizi to shoot at a humanoid target 50 meters away with a gun, and the feel was unexpectedly good.

In other words, his expectations were relatively low at first, but the actual performance of this gun was actually not bad, so it was unexpected.

In order to "suppress" the powerful 9.6mm pistol bullet, the mass of the gun mechanism of this gun is relatively large, and the recoil spring is also relatively hard, which makes its rate of fire just right-the theoretical rate of fire is about [-] rounds per minute.

When shooting, it is not as slow as Sten (550RPM) and MP40 (500RPM), which can guarantee good firepower.

When shooting in bursts, it is not as fast as the Bobosha (900RPM). Three or four bullets will fly out with one pull of the trigger, which is easier to control.

"Tat-tat-tat--"

After the test firing, the ordnance officer showed an "outrageous" look of surprise, hesitated for a few seconds before saying: "Except for the unattractive appearance, other aspects..."

"Is it that exaggerated?" Seeing his appearance, a sergeant took the gun from him, "Let me try it! Can it compare to three or four styles?"

1 minutes later……

If I had known earlier, it was still the original way!

　"I knew it earlier, it's still Yuandao!" This stalk refers to the Yuandao brand earphones with free shipping at 9.9, because the sound quality far exceeding this price has surprised many earphone enthusiasts, so they teased themselves that earphones worth tens of thousands of yuan are not as good as This 9.9 free shipping.This meme quickly went out of the circle, and it is usually accompanied by a picture of a person with eyes closed and crying, to describe "extremely low expectations and unexpected actual quality".
