The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 28 Sniper Rifle

In the blink of an eye, ten days passed.

Liu Tao held a sniper rifle in his hand, which was very different from the sniper rifles currently used in the military.

A virtual panel appears in the corner of my eye:

[Item: Sniper Rifle]

【Manufacturer: Liu Tao】

[Item Level: LV10 (not upgradeable)]

[Upgrade Points: 100]

[Item status: intact, analyzable]

Liu Tao couldn't help but gently stroke the sniper rifle. After ten consecutive upgrades, this sniper rifle had reached its limit and could not be upgraded anymore.

Liu Tao's hand was tied with a white bandage, which was the result of a ruptured wound on his palm caused by shooting during the test.

Even though he didn't need to aim and just shoot, the recoil still caused a rupture in his palm, and he had to apply medicine and bandage it.

This sniper rifle, like his child, was born in his hands and took a lot of his efforts to get it to its current appearance.

"Analysis!" Liu Tao muttered to himself.

Suddenly, the design drawing of this sniper rifle was automatically formed on the virtual panel, even the process flow chart was included.

And all 100 upgrade points were deducted.

In the production workshop, sniper rifles can be seen everywhere, but those are process products. Only the sniper rifle in Liu Tao's hand is a mature product.

Liu Tao gently stroked the sniper rifle, which can be quickly disassembled into three parts: upper receiver, lower receiver and bolt carrier. It also has an adjustable bipod. The whole gun weighs 3kg, with a caliber of 12.9mm. There are three types of magazine capacities, which can be equipped with 12.7 rounds, 10 rounds and 15 rounds. The total length is 20mm, the barrel length is 1447.8mm, the barrel twist is 736.7mm, the maximum accurate range is 381m, the maximum range is 1850m, and the aiming device is an optical super sight.

Sniper rifle bullets use 12.7×99 mm bullets, which can carry ordinary bullets, training bullets, armor-piercing incendiary bullets, tracer bullets, armor-piercing tracer bullets, armor-piercing bullets, armor-piercing incendiary bullets, and long-range sniper bullets!

Put this sniper rifle in its special box and go to the factory manager's office.

"What? The sniper rifle you developed was successful!" Wang Tiezhu couldn't sit still and held Liu Tao's hand tightly: "Really successful?"

Sniper rifle, this is an extremely difficult firearm.

The sniper rifles used in the army now are actually Type 56 semi-automatic rifles with better accuracy, equipped with scopes, and are not sniper rifles in the strict sense.

If Liu Tao really succeeds in developing a sniper rifle, then its significance will surpass the 'Type 78' automatic rifle and the 'Type 78' pistol!
The 'Type 78' pistol is now known as the first pistol independently developed by China and is deeply loved by commanders at all levels. People are no longer interested in the 'Type 54' pistol, but the 'Type 78' pistol.

Although the 'Type 78' automatic rifle has been recognized, the honor of being the first automatic rifle independently developed by China belongs to the 'Type 63' automatic rifle, even though the 'Type 63' automatic rifle has various problems and even the troops dislike it.

But sniper rifles are different. They are extremely difficult to make. China's military industry has not successfully developed a sniper rifle in all these years.

If Liu Tao's sniper rifle is really successful, it will be the first sniper rifle independently developed by China.

"Yes, it succeeded. I tested it and the accurate range reached 1850m and the maximum range was 2500m." Liu Tao nodded, full of confidence: "Now we need to request the assistance of the troops and send snipers to complete a series of tests."

"Okay, I'll contact the troops and ask them to send snipers. You quickly take people to organize production and produce a few hundred sniper rifles first!" Wang Tiezhu said hurriedly.

Hundreds! ?

Liu Tao smiled bitterly and said, "Director, I am the only one who can make this gun at the moment. Other workers in our factory cannot make it. The materials of the sniper rifle are all specially made, and the bullets are also special bullets." Sniper rifles are not so easy to produce, as this involves the industrial level.

"And this gun is very expensive. A gun like this costs 20,000 yuan, and a bullet costs 200 yuan." Liu Tao shook his head.

"It's so expensive!" Wang Tiezhu's hands were shaking.

A sniper rifle costs 20,000 yuan, and a bullet costs 200 yuan. Is this made of gold?
"It's very expensive. The materials have to be carefully selected and deeply processed. The bullets are not ordinary rifle bullets." Liu Tao said with emotion: "The technical requirements are very, very high, so I said that I am the only one in the factory who can make it."

Liu Tao's words were like pouring a bucket of cold water on Wang Tiezhu.

With such a high cost, it is impossible to produce more, unless the military purchases it. Otherwise, Panshan Machinery Factory cannot invest too much money to produce this gun.

Although he thought so, Wang Tiezhu still picked up the phone.

"I am Wang Tiezhu, the director of Panshan Machinery Factory. Please connect me to the new commander of the 119th Regiment, Liu Yongxin." Wang Tiezhu said in a deep voice.

Soon, the call was connected.

"Director Wang, is there anything we can help you with?" Liu Yongxin said.

Now the relationship between the two sides is quite harmonious. With the Panshan Machinery Factory, the 119th Regiment has target practice, so they are so generous that they don't need to save bullets at all.

The soldiers' shooting skills increased rapidly, and even several sharpshooters emerged.

The role of the sharpshooter is so great that he is simply the enemy's nightmare.

Ordinary soldiers need dozens or even hundreds of bullets to kill an enemy, but sharpshooters can kill an enemy with just one bullet, just like a ghost on the battlefield.

With the presence of the sharpshooter, the enemy has to be cautious if they want to show their heads, for fear of being shot in the head as soon as they show their heads.

"Captain Liu, Comrade Liu Tao from our factory has developed a sniper rifle. We need the troops to send a sniper to conduct a series of tests." Wang Tiezhu went straight to the point.

"What? Sniper rifle? It's been developed successfully!?" Liu Yongxin's voice became louder: "I'll take people to your factory right now."

In terms of cadre rank, the two are at the same level.

They are just of the same genus but different.

Panshan Machinery Factory is now protected by a company stationed there, and this company is from the 119th Regiment.

Liu Yongxin hung up the phone and immediately set off in a jeep with two snipers.

Liu Yongxin is already very familiar with the road from the 119th Regiment Headquarters to Panshan Machinery Factory.

The mountain road is winding, and you can see transport vehicles and engineers widening the road.

This is the only way to get to Panshan Machinery Factory.

In the past, it was a single lane with a passing lane every few miles. In order to increase transportation capacity, the relevant departments directly dispatched engineering troops to widen this mountain road.

There was a strange look in Liu Yongxin's eyes. Who could have thought that a military factory in the mountains could create miracles so often and become a shining star among the military factories in Yunnan Province.

The other military factories built in the third line of Yunnan Province were far from the Panshan Machinery Factory. Even the largest military factory in Yunnan Province could not compare with the Panshan Machinery Factory.

The jeep finally approached Panshan Machinery Factory. Liu Yongxin saw that on an open space, workers were laying the foundation. He knew that Panshan Machinery Factory was building a new production workshop.
