With Wu Tianming's instructions, Lu Jiadong and Liu Liang left Sanlin City early in the morning and arrived at Wanshan Factory that afternoon. However, after returning, Lu Jiadong did not care about the fatigue of the journey and hurried to the factory department, preparing to go to Chen Zhen to discuss matters related to the sniper rifle.

At this time, Chen Zhen was working with Gao Xinghua, Yang Limin and Hu Qinghua, who were sitting around in his office, were studying the construction of the new factory, the installation and commissioning of new equipment, and the progress of the weapons project of Wanshan Factory currently under development. At this moment, the door of the office was suddenly knocked, and the teacup that Chen Zhen had just picked up couldn't help but stop in the air, and shouted at the same time:

"Please come in!"

As soon as Chen Zhen finished speaking, the office door was forced to open. When he saw the person walking in from outside the door, the tea cup that Chen Zhen picked up was instantly placed on the table, with a kind and kind smile on his face:

"Haha, Xiao Lu, you came in time. We are trying to ask for your advice!"

"It's just like Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here!" As soon as Chen Zhen finished speaking, Gao Xinghua, who was sitting beside him, smiled and said, "We are talking about when Xiao Lu comes back, you will push the door and come in!"

After hearing Gao Xinghua's words, several people in the office had happy smiles on their faces. If they were to do so, Lu Jiadong would have a faint smile, but at this moment, Lu Jiadong not only couldn't see a smile, but his expression was extremely solemn.

Seeing this, Chen Zhen couldn't help but put away the smile on his face, and looked up and down at Lu Jiadong in front of him: "Xiao Lu, are you... Could it be that something went wrong with the new factory?"

Not only Chen Zhen, but others in the office also noticed Lu Jiadong's heavy expression with a little anger, so when Chen Zhen asked, everyone looked at Lu Jiadong in confusion, wondering what made Lu Jiadong, who was not very angry, feel so angry.

Fortunately, Lu Jiadong did not ask the people around him to wait too long. When Chen Zhen finished speaking, Lu Jiadong responded. Although his tone was very plain, his words revealed unspeakable sadness:

"Wu Tianming was seriously injured and almost died!"

After hearing Lu Jiadong's words, everyone in the house was shocked. Speaking of Wu Tianming, he was also a legendary figure of Wanshan Factory. Although he had not served as the military representative for a long time, during his tenure, Wanshan Factory successively completed the development and production of Wanshan guide rails, Type 78 series of firearms, and gun-mounted grenade launchers.

Because of this, although Wu Tianming spent a short time in Wanshan Factory, he is a well-known figure. Almost everyone here has worked with Wu Tianming. Even Hu Qinghua, who is a newcomer, has a deep impression of Wu Tianming on the gun test field that year, not to mention that Wu Tianming is also related to Chen Zhen. So when Lu Jiadong finished saying this, Chen Zhen immediately stood up from his seat:

"What the hell is going on? Tianming... why is he injured?"

As soon as Chen Zhen finished speaking, Lu Jiadong told the people in the office in detail how Wu Tianming was injured, how to move the rear, and how to treat Sanlin's injury worsened. After hearing this, everyone was surprised and glad that when they heard that Wu Tianming was out of danger and had woken up, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But unlike those present, Lu Jiadong looked at him without any gratitude. Instead, he frowned hard and continued:

"I was deeply touched by the experience of Tianming and the reconnaissance brigade. We do not have the same type of weapons and equipment to fight against it, and the result will inevitably lead to a sharp increase in casualties among the frontline soldiers. Of course, these most lovely people will use their flesh and blood to exchange for final victory, but why don't we, as sword-casters, polish the swords sharper?"

After hearing Lu Jiadong's words, Yang Limin, who had been silent, read Lu Jiadong's thoughts, so he cleared his hoarse voice and said:

"Xiao Lu, do you want to develop a sniper rifle?"

"That's right!" Lu Jiadong nodded: "I think the high-precision sniper rifle is an urgent equipment for our troops at this stage. Otherwise, with the Type 78 firearms in our hands, it is simply not enough to compete with the Soviet-made Dragorov sniper rifle in the hands of Vietnamese monkeys!"

"I have seen this type of sniper rifle in foreign-related information. It is an extremely effective and deadly weapon and equipment!" After hearing Lu Jiadong's words, Hu Qinghua, who was sitting next to Yang Limin, took a sip of the tea in front of him, but then a trace of sorrow hung on his fair face:

"But although sniper rifles are an excellent firearm, the processing technology is very complicated. In addition to the special processing of the barrel, the starting point of the entire gun is to improve the hit accuracy, so each part must be strictly designed and accurately processed before it can be formed. Therefore, foreign troops also call sniper rifles a work of art, and this does not involve special bullets, large-magnification scopes and other supporting equipment. Because of this, is it true that the development of sniper rifles for our Wanshan Factory..."

Although Hu Qinghua didn't finish his words, everyone present understood what he meant. Although this kind of firearm, which can be called a work of art, was suitable for Wanshan Factory, which was used to making replicas, no one present dared to give a positive answer, so everyone's eyes gathered on Lu Jiadong.

At this time, Lu Jiadong couldn't help but look at Hu Qinghua with praise. Hu Qinghua is worthy of being a military genius. He has a wide range of knowledge in weapons and equipment, and sometimes Lu Jiadong has to be amazed. Take the sniper rifle that is being discussed as an example. At this time, many people have never even heard of what a sniper rifle is.

But Hu Qinghua was able to speak sniper rifles very well. Not only that, but what is even more commendable is that he also explained the core technologies he was involved in clearly and thoroughly. This made Lu Jiadong very happy while amazed. After all, if there is one more person who knows about sniper rifles, the development progress and the speed of solving difficulties will be greatly accelerated!

Because of this, when Hu Qinghua finished speaking, Lu Jiadong showed a smile that had not been seen for a long time: "Mr. Hu is right, the development of sniper rifles is indeed much more difficult than ordinary firearms, but it does not mean that our factory does not have the technical strength to manufacture such high-end firearms!"

Lu Jiadong said as he held up the teacup in front of him, took a few sips and continued: "Our factory does not lack relevant experience in the production and manufacturing of firearm components. As for precision processing, I think there is no big problem with gold medal masters like Li Deshun and Li;

In terms of ammunition, the technical data we just seized from Vietnam include the complete production and manufacturing process of the special bullet 7n1 of the Soviet-made Dragorov sniper rifle. As long as it is optimized on the basis of it, finally, in terms of design and research, our factory has both military talents such as Hu Gong and Lao Yang, and up-and-coming celebrities such as Liu Liang and Chen Zihao, so we don’t have to worry about this!”

After hearing Lu Jiadong's words, everyone present nodded in agreement. Not only that, they all added one in the hearts of these people, that is Lu Jiadong, the technical core of Wanshan Factory, because of him, the advantages mentioned just now are effectively pinched together to form a high-speed manufacturing machine. However, Lu Jiadong had no time to care about other people's ideas at this time, and continued to say after a moment of pause:

"Although our factory has certain technical strength, it is not without shortcomings. For example, we cannot create the scope of the sniper rifle. However, we can go to the Guinan Precision Machinery Factory, the old director of Zheng Yongbo. You should know that in addition to producing ammunition and fuses, their factory also undertakes the processing and manufacturing of some optical equipment. In this regard, we can seek the help of the old director!"

As soon as Lu Jiadong finished speaking, everyone present agreed with Lu Jiadong's opinion, but at this moment, Gao Xinghua, who was sitting opposite Lu Jiadong, slowly locked his eyebrows:

"Xiao Lu's idea is indeed good, but how should we apply for project approval for this new gun? You should know that our previous practice of using grenade launcher to take a deviant sword has been banned by the National Defense Science and Technology Department. If the project is not approved and the rules are not in compliance with the rules, there will be no research and development funds!"

"Don't our factory still have surplus funds? Can we use the development of sniper rifles first?"

"The factory used to have some surplus funds!" After hearing Lu Jiadong's words, Gao Xinghua couldn't help but nodded, but then the topic changed: "But with the start of the new factory, our factory's surplus funds have basically been filled in the construction of the new factory. Now the remaining money in the factory is only enough for daily expenses, and it is not enough to support the development of the new gun!"

"Secretary Gao is right!" As soon as Gao Xinghua finished speaking, Chen Zhen couldn't help but frown and took Gao Xinghua's words: "Our factory doesn't have much money now!"

Chen Zhen and Gao Xinghua are right. Although the new Wanshan Factory is mainly invested by the state, this investment is not fully covered in all aspects. There are also some small things that require Wanshan Factory to invest to make up for. However, although these things are small, they are also a large number of large numbers on the scale. So not long after the start of construction, Wanshan Factory has spent almost all the surplus funds over the past year, and it is impossible to support the so-called new project at all!

Because of this, the words of the factory director and the secretary were like a basin of cold water in the cold winter, instantly extinguishing the hope that had just ignited in the hearts of the people present. At this time, Lu Jiadong frowned, lit a cigarette, and sat there and smoked in a dull manner...
