Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

Lin Heping nodded, looked around, and then pointed to a potholed area, saying, "Get a few buckets of water and turn that into a mud pit!"

Yang Zhaojun's eyes revealed a look of excitement. Although he didn't yet know how Factory 960 had improved the accuracy of the sniper rifle to this level, the higher the accuracy of the sniper rifle, the stricter the requirements! The M16 rifle reduced its reliability because it pursued accuracy too much!

The military needs a high-precision sniper rifle, but it needs a reliable sniper rifle even more! As long as it can be proven that this gun is unreliable, then Factory 960 will not be able to continue to undertake production tasks!

In fact, the demand for sniper rifles is not very large, at most a few thousand, and it would be difficult to reach ten thousand. For Factory 296, this amount of production is nothing. However, they couldn't swallow this breath. Anything that Factory 296 set its sights on, when could it fall into the mouths of other factories?

This time, not only was the order snatched away, but they also lost face. They had to get it back!

The mud pit was quickly prepared. Yang Zhongyi replaced the sniper rifle with a new magazine and then threw it in.

"The erosion of sand on guns is the most severe. If the inside of the barrel is not chrome-plated, it won't be long before the bore rusts," Wang Lijun said.

"What? The inside of the barrel is not chrome-plated?" Leader Han frowned. "Can such a gun be used?"

"Of course not. Such guns in the hands of the military would be useless! Director Zhu, your type of gun, you wouldn't deliberately not chrome-plate the barrel in order to pursue accuracy, would you?" Wang Lijun looked at Zhu Zizhong.

"Of course not," Zhu Zizhong shook his head.

The group stood beside the mud pit and discussed for more than ten minutes. The gun inside the mud pit was already soaked through.

"That's about enough. Let's see how adaptable this gun is on the battlefield." At this time, Lin Heping was also very expectant. He picked up the gun from the mud pit and shook it hard three times.

The muddy water in the barrel kept flying out as he shook it.

Looking at those mud spots, the people from Factory 296 were very excited. Even the domestically produced Type 56 assault rifle might not be able to fire, could this high-precision sniper rifle still fire?

However, why was the other party so calm and composed? Especially that Qin Yang, with an indifferent look, which made people angry.

Just then, there was movement in the sky. Everyone looked up and saw an eagle spreading its wings and flying over their heads.

Generally speaking, birds will avoid shooting ranges. The noise here is too loud, and animals will instinctively be afraid. But now, the eagle flew over because it had a long snake wriggling in its claws! It had inadvertently broken into this area, and was only fighting with the snake, not paying attention to what was below. It was blindly flying over. At this time, it was still looking down and pecking at the snake!

When they saw this scene, everyone marveled. Lin Heping also quickly raised the sniper rifle, aimed at the combination in the sky, tracked it for two or three seconds, and then pulled the trigger.

Bang!

A gunshot rang out.

The eagle was still flying in the sky!

"Haha, see? Your gun is no longer accurate!" Yang Zhaojun shouted excitedly.

"According to the requirements, as long as it can fire in this situation, it is considered qualified, right?" Qin Yang glanced at Yang Zhaojun. "Engineer Yang, you are also a military industry expert, don't you even know this?"

"That's for ordinary rifles, but this is a sniper rifle, the requirements are higher!" Yang Zhaojun said, "If the military can't aim accurately because of mud contamination during combat, then can they still fight?"

"Is that so? Then you should see clearly, did it hit or not?"

"Of course it didn't hit, otherwise wouldn't the eagle have fallen down?" Yang Zhaojun was very confident.

At this moment, the eagle had flown over everyone's heads. After the gunshot reached it, the eagle was startled and flapped its wings to fly higher. After flying for a few seconds, it felt unsafe, so it released the prey under its claws.

The snake fell down, wait, why was it separated?

Two sections of snake fell in the air. Yang Zhaojun widened his eyes: "How is this possible? How is this possible?"

This was a moving target. It didn't hurt the eagle, but it split the snake into two pieces!

"Are you doubting the accuracy of our sniper rifle, or are you doubting my Brother Lin's skills?" Qin Yang asked.

Whoosh!

Just then, one section of the snake fell impartially onto Yang Zhaojun's neck, hanging on both sides. Instantly, Yang Zhaojun shouted, "Mommy!"

"Look at your uselessness." Lin Heping glanced at Yang Zhaojun with contempt, grabbed the snake from his neck, tore open the snake skin directly with his hand, found the still warm snake gall, and was about to put it in his mouth, but then looked at Qin Yang: "Brother, do you want to eat snake gall?"

The bloody half-snake was right in front of him, and the snake gall was also covered in blood. This thing looked disgusting.

Leader Han also nodded in satisfaction. Now he found Qin Yang more and more pleasing to the eye.

"Good, there are no problems with the reliability of this gun either. We can all rest assured!" Leader Han nodded.

"No, Leader Han, there is a big problem with this gun!" Yang Zhaojun couldn't bear it any longer, even ignoring Wang Lijun's eyes trying to stop him. "Their barrel is not chrome-plated! It's not durable at all!"

Not chrome-plated?

Leader Han was stunned. "Director Zhu, didn't you just say... Little Lin, check it out!"

Zhu Zizhong looked nervously at Lin Heping wiping the muzzle clean, looking inside, and then nodded: "It's indeed not chrome-plated."

"Not chrome-plated, it simply can't adapt to the needs of the battlefield. They are cheating and being lazy! This kind of gun cannot be equipped to the military, otherwise it would be a crime!" Yang Zhaojun was smug.

"Qin Yang, what's going on?" Zhu Zizhong looked at Qin Yang. The entire sniper rifle process was confidential, and even he, the factory director, boldly delegated authority and didn't ask about it at all. Of course, the main reason was to save trouble, so he really didn't know it wasn't chrome-plated.

Qin Yang's gaze turned to Yang Zhaojun: "Our gun technology is confidential, even our factory director doesn't know. Engineer Yang, how do you know our barrel isn't chrome-plated? Could it be that you have our lost prototype gun in your hands?"

Hearing Qin Yang ask this, Yang Zhaojun suddenly realized: He had fallen into a trap again!

"Lost prototype gun? What's going on?" Leader Han's expression also became serious.

"When we went to bid, we held a celebration banquet that night. Only the people from Factory 296 didn't attend. After the banquet, we discovered that the canvas of the 212 had been cut open and the prototype gun was lost. At the time, in order to protect the reputation of Factory 296, we didn't publicize it and handled it discreetly."

Leader Han's face darkened: "Has our Factory 296 also started doing this kind of underhanded thing?"

"Old Leader, they are deliberately confusing right and wrong! We will explain the matter of leaving early to you later. Now we have discovered the defects of Factory 960's guns. The barrels of their factory's rifles are not chrome-plated, which is irresponsible!" Yang Zhaojun knew he was in trouble, but he still gritted his teeth and insisted, first letting Factory 960 suffer.

"Okay, I'll explain first." Qin Yang said, "Our barrels are not chrome-plated because we have adopted a completely new process. Not being chrome-plated also has the same lifespan as being chrome-plated. Moreover, it won't affect the accuracy due to uneven plating."

When the country was first founded, domestically produced guns did not have chrome-plating technology, so the early Type 54 pistols, Type 56 semi-automatic rifles, etc., were prone to rusting. Chrome-plating only became widespread later, so that now, when the old gun-making masters hear that the inside of the barrel is not chrome-plated, it is absolutely heretical!

They are short-sighted. All high-precision sniper rifles, and even hunting rifles, will not be chrome-plated inside the barrel. Although it can increase the lifespan, the accuracy of the bullets flying out will be greatly reduced due to uneven plating.

"How is that possible?" Even Wang Lijun was surprised: "Our Factory 296 doesn't have this kind of technology!"

"Of course, this is the latest advanced technology we have developed. You don't understand!"
