Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

Five slender penetrator rods were made. Looking at the armor-piercing projectiles that gleamed with a dark cyan metallic luster, Robert couldn't help but ask, "Can you give us one for detailed testing?"

Firing it directly from the gun barrel is the most intuitive testing method, but there are other methods, such as using various professional equipment to test yield strength and other values.

Qin Yang shook his head: "Of course not, it's not the time yet. Send the sabot over quickly. After we install it, we'll do live-fire testing, and everything will become clear naturally."

"Okay, the sabot is already on the plane and should arrive tomorrow." Although Robert was envious, he could only wait.

"Let's go, it's time for dinner."

Qin Yang led everyone out of Workshop No. 5. At this moment, someone ran over in a hurry.

"Section Chief Qin, Engineer Zhang from Institute 201 is here again."

"What? Again?" Qin Yang frowned. What was he doing here?

"Yes, besides Engineer Zhang, there's also an Engineer Zhuang, who said he's from Factory 447."

"People from Factory 447 are here? This is going to be interesting!" Qin Yang immediately understood: "Okay, please invite them in and have them wait for me in the conference room in the office building."

"Engineer Qin, I'll go with you. They might have some misunderstandings about you," Old Zhu said with a frown.

"It's okay, Old Zhu. I can handle this kind of small matter. You take Robert and the others to dinner! Old Zhu, you've been tired all day, so don't worry about this kind of thing."

Old Zhu paused for a few seconds: "Alright, if there's any situation, send someone to notify me immediately. Although this batch of armor-piercing projectiles hasn't been tested yet, I have confidence in them. Engineer Qin, I'm standing behind you!"

"Thank you."

Watching Old Zhu leave with the others, Qin Yang walked towards the office building with brisk steps.

In the human-centric society of the East, it's not easy to get anything done. If you don't have the ability, others will look down on you. If you have the ability, others will be jealous of you. The only way is to step on these people and make them obedient.

Qin Yang pushed open the door of the conference room, and the two people inside turned their heads.

"What can I do for you two?"

"You're Engineer Qin?" When Zhuang Shuren saw Qin Yang for the first time, he was a little surprised: "Why are you so young?"

"Yes, so young, yet he's created so many miracles. That's what you call young and promising," Zhang Wanhe said. "Talented young people really have a big ego!"

"Thank you for the compliment. I'm very busy, so get to the point." Qin Yang was too lazy to waste words with these people.

"The higher-ups have instructed that the advanced armor-piercing projectiles manufactured by your Factory 960 don't need to be tested at the national proving ground. They will be tested directly at the military proving ground here in the capital," Zhang Wanhe said. "So, we're here to contact you."

"Okay, is this to make it easier for the higher-level leaders to observe? Please rest assured, higher-level leaders, we will definitely not disappoint you," Qin Yang said. "Thank you both for running all the way over here. Actually, there's no need to go to so much trouble. A phone call would have sufficed."

Hmph, who came to run errands for you? Zhang Wanhe had long been dissatisfied with Qin Yang. Now, every word Qin Yang said seemed to be deliberately provoking him, making the anger he was suppressing grow bigger and bigger.

"Old Zhang, don't be impatient, assign the task," Zhuang Shuren quickly advised.

"Okay." Zhang Wanhe took two deep breaths to calm himself down: "Since the 69-3 tank, which has been modified with the L7 tank gun, is being tested at the national proving ground, we now need to install a bare L7 gun on a 59 tank. Since it's for your Factory 960 to test, then let your Factory 960 do the modification."

Factory 960 to modify it? What a joke!

Qin Yang immediately understood that something was fishy: Institute 201 specializes in armored vehicles, and Factory 447 specializes in building guns. Therefore, installing the L7 tank gun on the 59 tank must be a task for these two units!

These two people came all the way here to hand over this task to Factory 960 and then make Factory 960 look bad!

In fact, installing a tank gun is, of course, very easy, a matter of a few simple steps. However, Qin Yang couldn't let the people in front of him think that he was easy to fool!

"Is this a task assigned by the higher-ups?" Qin Yang asked.

Zhang Wanhe and Zhuang Shuren looked at each other and then nodded: "That's right."

"Then please bring the written task assignment signed by the higher-ups."

To put it lightly, to put it nicely, it would be called that they were unable to complete the task, so they came to ask for help from a brother factory. To put it harshly, more seriously, this is called picking and choosing, acting one way in public and another in private, or even disobeying military orders!

"What's wrong?" Qin Yang pretended to be puzzled: "Since it's a task arranged by Leader Fang, can't I call to verify it?"

"Leader Fang is very busy, so there's no need to trouble him with such a small matter."

"Not bother him, I'm just verifying it with his secretary."

"Engineer Qin, you wouldn't be afraid, would you?" Seeing that Qin Yang wasn't taking the bait, Zhang Wanhe decided to change tactics and use provocation.

"That's right, your Factory 960 has been very impressive lately, all-powerful. It seems that there are things you can't do!" Zhuang Shuren chimed in.

"Afraid? Can't do it? What are you talking about? Isn't it just a matter of changing a gun barrel? We'll disassemble it in a day, install it in half a day, plus debugging, and we can complete the task in two days," Qin Yang said. "We may not be good at anything else, but we are good at creating miracles. However, we have to be clear about things and not be schemed against by others. Some people are not good at doing work, but they are first-rate at being jealous."

"What? Jealous? Engineer Qin, let's have a good talk today and see who's being unreasonable!" Zhang Wanhe couldn't bear it any longer: "You're a gun factory, why are you meddling in our gun-making business? The armor-piercing projectiles you make are even better than foreign ones, so what is our Institute 201? Are we not even worthy of carrying your shoes?"

Qin Yang helplessly rubbed his forehead: "Yes, you really aren't worthy of carrying our shoes, Engineer Zhang. You can keep that kind of thought in your heart, why do you have to say it out loud?"

Damn it! The veins on Zhang Wanhe's forehead bulged, and he couldn't help but roll up his sleeves. This was really taking an inch and wanting a mile!

Zhuang Shuren on the side was also dumbfounded. He had seen arrogant people, but he had never seen such an arrogant person! Every sentence he said was like stabbing someone in the heart with a knife. For a moment, he didn't know whether to dissuade Zhang Wanhe or join Zhang Wanhe in beating him up to vent his anger.

"Old Zhang, stop it! What are you doing?" Just then, a voice came from the door.

Qin Yang was a little helpless. Alas, the good show was about to end before it even started! As long as Zhang Wanhe dared to make a move, he would have to make him crawl out of this door, then wipe some of his nosebleeds, run to Leader Fang and cry, and screw over this Zhang Wanhe!

Falsely claiming imperial orders and even hitting people, is there any justice in this world?

But, Old Zhu was here!
