The sun had set, and several trucks entered the factory with loud sirens.
It's the bullets, they've finally arrived.
At this point, Yang Mingzhi was finally willing to show the semi-finished firearms he designed and assembled to others.
"Grishenko, be careful. Don't fall to the ground. The paint will fall off and it won't look good."
Yang Mingzhi asked his personal guards to take all the firearms to the large factory, and finally put them all on a pieced together table.
The sudden appearance of special firearms immediately attracted the attention of all the assemblers. They were still engaged in their work, unable to bear their curiosity. From time to time, some people stood up, hoping to use their good eyesight to find out. The factory was also filled with noise, and everyone
The female workers all saw Andlovna always following the general, and they often envied her future development.
A piece of bad news may be known to everyone within an hour.
Everyone in the assembly workshop understands that Andlovna will be transferred. She is not an ordinary worker, but a go-getter with excellent technical ability. Without such a master, it will be difficult to continue to complete production tasks based on everyone's ability in the future.
You must work harder.
The new firearms are placed in front of the factory director Nikolaevsky. Take a look at the appearance of the new gun. It has the shape of a rifle and the shadow of a submachine gun.
Visible to the naked eye, the strong body is covered with stamped parts, which are masterpieces of the advanced equipment of his factory. Simply manufacturing these stamped parts does not require many man-hours. Not only that, the firearm is also full of rivets, and he knows that these nails are all
It is the masterpiece of female worker Androvna in just over an hour.
The director of the factory has handled guns before, and he was also a veteran when he was young. He is very good at disassembling rifles and putting them back together again.
He had never touched an assault rifle, but he had dismantled a semi-automatic rifle to understand its structure.
Let’s look at General Berekov’s gun. It currently does not have a gas tube and a gas sealing rod installed. This is also because these devices are not available for the time being, so the gun does not need to be buckled with the stamped upper receiver.
Seeing the factory director holding his chin thoughtfully, Yang Mingzhi asked: "Comrade, what do you think? We have basically turned the drawings into reality."
"It's very good! I have been thinking about its appearance in my mind. When I saw it today, it was exactly the same as the image in my mind. It's just..."
"Oh? You still have concerns."
"Of course. Firearms are not toys. You require the use of a large number of stamped parts, which makes me a little worried. I am worried about the mechanical strength of the firearm, its shooting accuracy, and other details."
"This requires some experiments." Yang Mingzhi answered confidently, pinching his waist, "We need the most basic experiments, and I have great confidence in this. Let me tell you, many of the weapons I designed have almost no serious flaws. Soldiers
My experience with it has been nothing but praise. I will continue to win this time.”
The general is so confident that he even gives people a sense of arrogance.
Nikolaevsky had to remain cautious and continued: "Isn't it too early for your assertion? Not all the parts you need are in place, so this gun still cannot be called a firearm."
"Really?!"
"I still have a question, or a huge question that needs to be answered."
"Please speak."
Nikolaevsky pointed to the sight of a gun and asked: "General, don't you really think that the rear sight of the firearm you designed is too high?"
"Ah, I know what you are questioning? It's just that you are worried about aiming too high and the bullet will hit the lower end."
"Yes, I have concerns about this."
Yang Mingzhi shook his head: "So you are the director of the factory, and I am the director of the design bureau. After all, the bullet is a low and flat parabola!"
As he spoke, Yang Mingzhi directly handed over the uninstalled receiver cover: "Look, for the scale equipment on this, it doesn't matter if the rear sight is higher, as long as the soldier adjusts the appropriate scale and shoots. So your question does not make the point.
Go ahead, you should ask me about the benefits of this design."
When asked this question, Nikolayevsky felt intense curiosity.
"Benefit? What is it?"
"Soldiers will feel very comfortable when shooting! The rear sight is designed high, and the aiming baseline is several centimeters higher than the barrel. In this way, soldiers do not have to twist their heads excessively when aiming, and can adopt a more comfortable shooting posture! For those who often shoot
Soldiers in combat must always maintain a proper shooting posture, which is an important protection for the soldier's body."
The feeling of being questioned was unpleasant, so Yang Mingzhi decided to continue to toss. He immediately took out one, pulled the charging handle to the end, and pointed the empty barrel at Nikolaevsky.
"You see, as long as we load a bullet, I let go of my hand and the bullet is loaded. Even without the gas tube, it can still shoot, but the soldier has to be tired. After firing a round, he pulls the charging handle.
Ejection and loading are completed manually. To be honest, the bolt design I gave it is exquisite, and the air tightness of the firearm is very good. The soldier operates it manually, and the rate of fire can almost reach the level of SVT40."
No one can deny this. Nikolayevsky saw everything clearly, and of course he knew the feasibility of such an operation. Furthermore, this operation gave the firearm a lower limit of use.
Firearms are consumables in combat. If some parts are damaged, it’s great that the firearm can continue to shoot. So this gun can still be operated in its current state!
Nikolayevsky did not say much for the time being, wanting to see if the general had any other ideas.
Yang Mingzhi also didn't understand the factory director's thoughts. He seemed to have been provoked and came up with a bold idea.
A wooden box was lifted onto the table, and the wooden lid was pried open. It was filled with the intermediate-power bullets that Yang Mingzhi needed.
The bullet is completely the result of reverse research and development, and its haste is hard to explain. At least in the eyes of many people, everyone has never seen such a medium-sized bullet. The manufacturer also bites the bullet and strictly follows the drawings to produce it.
Whether it is usable or not, no one can guarantee.
Playing with a bullet in his hand, Yang Mingzhi looked at its shape carefully and couldn't help but feel happy.
"The bullet factory is really rigorous. It is the bullet I need. Ah! A familiar feeling."
After all, the 7.62mm assault rifle ammunition used by China in that dimension is Maozi specification, which makes various assault rifles produced in China fully suitable for the Warsaw Pact national ammunition.
There is even a strange sight of militiamen in some war-torn areas in the world holding obviously old 5-6 punches but using bullets of the same age produced in Hungary.
In front of the factory director, he pressed a bullet into the chamber of the gun, then turned around, pointing the black muzzle of the gun at the open door, as if he was about to shoot.
The general's actions shocked many people, as if the general was about to shoot.
Nikolaevsky opened his eyes wide. Indeed, the general's posture had some characteristics. Completely different from operating the Mosin Nagant, the shooter's cheek did not touch the right hand holding the gun handle. The shooter's gun
The posture is more comfortable, is it just comfortable? He looked at the general's operations from the perspective of a soldier, and couldn't help but imagine that he was a soldier holding such a repeating weapon.
Suddenly, a wonderful idea came to Nikolayevsky's mind.
That is a wonderful picture, because compared to the Mosin Nagant, the barrel of the new gun is positioned lower, so the soldiers can press the gun better. Of course, for a bolt-action rifle that fires and pulls once,
There is no point in pressing the gun.
But Nikolayevsky has dismantled SVT40, and is specialized in manufacturing submachine guns. If a submachine gun in a crazy shooting state wants to fire accurately, unless the soldier's arms are thicker than thighs! Maybe the general did not intend to use the new gun in the original design
The rate of fire is too fast, so as it can be used as a continuous fire weapon, soldiers can indeed rely on the torque generated by the body to press the gun when shooting.
"Hey, as long as I pull the trigger, the bullet will be fired." Yang Mingzhi said calmly.
"But you can't." An old guy like Nikolayevsky who has seen a lot of the world is not surprised at all. Even if the general fired, the sound of the gunshot would not make him blink.
"Of course, this is a factory, and I'm not stupid enough to shoot randomly here. Besides, a gunshot will cause big trouble, and may even make people panic. I'm afraid that tomorrow, officials will come to investigate.
.”
"This is inevitable! In particular, arsenals must ensure safety. To be honest, I am already taking risks by allowing you to assemble firearms here."
Nikolayevsky was right. Trucks transporting special bullets can drive into the submachine gun factory, which is illegal. But that is a lieutenant general's request, and it must be done even if it is not legal. As long as
Unless something happened, those who knew about it would definitely turn a blind eye.
"My guns must be tested, and I shouldn't just find a wasteland for testing. Could you please tell me where the nearest shooting range is?"
"It's just on the outskirts, I know that place." Nikolayevsky told the truth and expressed worry: "So, after all, even if you are a general, you are not allowed to enter the military training base without a certificate?
"
"Document? What certificate? Is it the certificate of the lieutenant general? Of course I have the officer's certificate."
"No! It's a certificate issued by the military region office. Non-military region personnel really cannot enter the training ground. Unless..."
"Applying for a certificate? Oh, it's so red tape, but it makes sense."
Yang Mingzhi stopped nagging. No matter what, he was a lieutenant general in name only. When he came to Novosibirsk, he was basically a guest. I was afraid that he would be transferred after living there for more than half a year.
Why is it difficult to use the military's shooting range as a lieutenant general? Of course, you still need to have the certificate. It takes some time to apply for the certificate, but the faster the firearms experiment is, the better.
"Just like this, I will ask the Academy of Sciences to find a suitable place for me to set up a shooting range. The shooting range for small weapons does not need to be big, as long as the surrounding area is open enough and several targets at different distances are set up."
"Sigh... your demands are really low."
Yang Mingzhi shook his head: "No more. We still have a lot of time. Comrade Factory Director, although we can't conduct shooting experiments in your factory, we can at least carry out other operations."
Yang Mingzhi checked more than 20 bullets in a row. Their specifications were completely consistent, there were no scratches on the outer brass plating, there were no abnormalities in the primer at the bottom, and the tops of the warheads were all painted with a little quick-drying red paint. Why paint? Drawing
This is not required by the police, maybe it is just to distinguish them from other bullets. After all, the bullets required by the Soviet army have low technical content and an alarming amount of consumption. To be honest, the special bullets for assault rifles may be used
The dazzled worker was confused with pistol bullets, so he applied some paint.
The designer personally demonstrated and pressed the bullet into the curved magazine very skillfully.
Nikolaevsky was amazed and became more interested in this slightly conical bullet that could not slip.
In the final analysis, the soul of the gun is the bullet! The bullet case is tapered, which is designed so that after the gunpowder detonates, the huge amount of gas will bring greater thrust to the smaller exit.
Its charge will inevitably be reduced, and the thrust given to the warhead may not be reduced in the same proportion.
The firearms had not been tested yet, and after operating them with the general himself, Nikolayevsky felt itchy in his heart.
Some inner thoughts are not suitable to be spoken to the general. What is he thinking at this time?
Nikolaevsky was grumbling: Heck, if there hadn't been a ban, I would have gone outdoors right now to try out Berekov's new shooter for myself.
Yang Mingzhi felt that he had achieved a great victory. He estimated that if the machine gun factory kept stalling, all parts such as gas sealing rods and other parts would be completed by the winter solstice.
Next, you must find a reliable location for the experiment in advance.
Then make various statistics, and then pull over Feliudov and Kastyura, who are drinking happily every day, and give them the backup of the experimental data. In this way, these two guys can end their good relationship in Novosibirsk.
After having a good meal and drinks, we returned to Lubyanka with the information and received the reward.
First, you have to contact Lysenko unexpectedly.
The dignified dean of the Soviet Academy of Sciences must be off work for dinner at six o'clock in the evening, right?!
When Yang Mingzhi entered the Academy of Sciences, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.
Maybe Lysenko has already taken the bus home, or maybe he continues to work overtime?
The trunk of the car contained all the semi-finished firearms, as well as all the special bullets. Originally, Yang Mingzhi planned to go to Liguschkov's factory to spend another hour or two and have a meal, but now he had no intention of eating.
, the Supreme Commander rushed back and intercepted Lysenko before he returned home from a free dinner at the Academy of Sciences.
The general who returned in a hurry brought news of a staged victory, and the designers all wanted to take a look at the new gun.
"Okay, comrades. You take all the firearms in the trunk to the big office and put the bullets in the warehouse properly. Grishenko, your people keep them under strict guard. Everyone remembers that these firearms must be secured
It’s absolutely safe.”
After speaking late, Yang Mingzhi knew that Popov obviously had something to say.
"Comrade Popov, what do you want to say?"
"It's nothing. It's about everyone's military training. I should report to you."
"Okay, just think I've heard the report. It's nothing serious, so just do me a favor."
"Of course, please give your orders."
"Call me to that guy Lysenko's office. I want to talk to him in person."
"Ah?!" Popov hesitated. After all, Lysenko was the dean. Besides, it was past seven o'clock, and as usual, the dean went home.
"Don't waste time, go and call me quickly."
The order was absolute. Popov bravely tried to make contact, and the operator on duty fulfilled the call request very diligently. Not to mention, the phone was actually connected.
"I'm Dean Lysenko, which department do you belong to?" Lysenko, who was having an overtime meal when he received a call at this time, felt a little unhappy. After all, it was not a call during working hours, so maybe something went wrong.
Popov reported his identity and then handed the phone to the happy Yang Mingzhi.
To be honest, Yang Mingzhi despises Lysenko from the bottom of his heart. This so-called scientist will soon be overthrown by the Soviets themselves, and they should not have any more interactions with him. Of course, today's matter must depend on him.
"Oh, dear Comrade Dean, I am Belekov. I need your help with something. Are you working overtime?"
"certainly."
"Well, do you mind if I visit you in person in your office?"
"Of course I don't mind, please come. I know that you have gone to various arsenals today. If you don't have a meal, I will ask the cafeteria to cook you a small meal."
"Oh! That's right! Thank you so much. Okay, I'll accept your invitation and I'll bring you some good news. I'll be there soon!"
