Can You Make A Nuclear Weapons Too?

“What is this?”

The moment I unintentionally turned the next page, it felt as if lightning had struck me.

No matter how you look at it, this is what the DSAR-15pc looked like.

If there was a slightly different part, it was the butt, except for that part, this was the perfect DSAR-15pc itself.

“Didsan’s engineers suggested this?”

“Yes, a few years ago, some researchers have been conducting research in their spare time, but this is something I want to make a prototype right now.”

“But why didn’t we know yet?”

“Because it wasn’t an official event at the company level. If it was an official development issue, as the chairman said, we should have already known during the acquisition process.”

“Hmm… well, whatever it is. It's hard to believe that only a few researchers have come up with such a detailed design.”

“I was surprised by that too, but it was limited to design anyway, and since they are well-established friends in the field, it would not have been impossible if we had had enough time. And in fact, it is still impossible to guarantee whether this is a proper design, right? Firearms are not completed just because they are plausible in design.”

That's not wrong.

No matter how well-designed firearms are, the durability and heat treatment of their parts. And the success or failure of development can only be judged by checking how well the organic combination of parts is made.

In other words, success or failure of development is determined only when a prototype is released, but it is too early to judge the success of this design alone.

“Let’s go.”

I left my thoughts behind and headed to the lab.

The important thing to me right now is not whether this is a successful design or not,

In fact, DSAR-15pc is basically a reference to HK-416, but HK-416 is not even a prototype in the current world.

Beep!

The road to the lab had to go through countless security deactivation procedures.

It's fortunate that

Thanks to this, my impatient mind slightly subsided due to the free time, and I was able to regain my coolness while passing through all three doors.

smart!

"Yeah?"

As I knocked on the last door, I heard a commotion from within.

Soon one of the researchers who identified me through the glass was startled and quickly opened the door, and I smiled at the pouring gaze.

“There is a lot of hard work.”

“How is the president here…….”

At my sudden appearance, the researchers busily cleared their desks.

Bread bags and milk cartons stacked here and there.

A typical design department.

“I’m sorry, but who suggested this?”

“·················ogue.”

The engineers exchanged bewildered glances for a moment and looked at each other.

Two people immediately raised their hands.

Contrary to expectations, they were just men with busy faces that could be seen in any research institute.

“It is us.”

“How is your name?”

“My name is Tae-Hoon Lee.”

“My name is Kyu-Yong Kim.”

At first glance, they seemed to be in their early 40s, and they still responded with a timid attitude.

I'm not a grim reaper of any kind, and my attitude is so cautious that I think it's overkill.

After all, the president must have been embarrassed when he showed up with the blueprints they had submitted.

“Is it true that you made this design yourself?”

"That's right."

Looking at his face, it doesn't seem like a lie.

Still, I tried to inquire again just in case.

“Just in case, do you know that H&K has been developing special-purpose rifles for a long time?”

“Yes, of course I know.”

“Then it would be easier for me to say. I kind of think this design was based on that, right?”

“I’ve seen it in photos, but it’s not based on it.”

One of the researchers turned on the computer with a reply.

As soon as I opened the file, it was full of photo files of various firearms.

“That's all we had on H&K's new rifle. As you can see, it’s just a look they revealed ahead of the prototype launch.”

“·················ogue.”

“Of course, in the case of firearms, it is quite possible to guess the design method just by looking at the photos. For example, you can guess from this photo that this H&K product uses a short-stroke gas piston method.”

I stared at him silently.

“But it’s hard to think that we just copied the thing just for that. In the first place, the short stroke method is not exclusive to H&K.”

“I admit to that. Gas piston type AR already appeared in the world in the 1970s, so it cannot be said that it is exclusive to H&K. What I'm curious about is, then, why did you choose to adopt it?"

“We adopted that method because we thought that it would be optimal to compensate for the shortcomings of the K1 that our military has. As you know, Special Forces are a group where fighting with water and mud is commonplace, but in the case of the direct-acting K1, there is a risk of malfunction and explosion.”

“But the short stroke method isn’t without its drawbacks, right?”

“Of course I do. Due to the nature of the short stroke, the gas piston may freeze in the cold and become inoperable. And that is the crucial difference between us and H&K. That we got over it.”

With that said, I looked at the blueprint again.

It definitely feels different from the HK416 or DSAR-15pc in terms of the design of the piston.

That was proof that they weren't completely copying the HK416, and it also meant that it was a different thing from the DSAR-15pc.

In other words, it means that they created technology with their own hands that was 17 years advanced.

"Hmm······."

If true, I don't think it's a welcome situation for me.

For me, who is about to develop a complex rifle right now, the appearance of such talented people is a welcome thing.

“Vice President.”

I left behind their words and looked at Vice President Kim Young-gi.

He had been listening to me and the researchers for a while, and he looked at me with a surprised expression.

“I’m planning to appoint these two as the head of development of the gun division for the K11 compound rifle in the future, is that okay?”

“That’s it…”

He happily nodded his head.

Rather, the two researchers were bewildered.

They stared at me for a long time, wondering what the situation is now.

"Ah! Just in case, did you give a formal name to this rifle developed by the two of you?”

I spit out a question and looked at them silently.

No matter how much you think about it, this isn't overly realistic.

In the end, things that were 17 years earlier. How easy is it to develop it in a more advanced form?

For me, of course, they are...

"no?"

But they answered with a blank expression.

Again, the eyes are not mixed with lies.

what the hell did you expect

there is only laughter

*******

“Come here.”

A few days later, researchers from all fields involved in the development of the K11 were brought into the office.

Everyone seems to be very nervous, perhaps because it's the president's room.

He handed a light refreshment and explained the reason for calling them first.

“The reason I have called you all is to suggest the direction of this project.”

"Ah yes······."

Researchers cringed and drank the tea.

I answered, but I didn't seem to understand what that meant, so I explained it again.

“As you know, the previous development plan was completely abolished by the military. I'm the kind of person who thinks it's lucky."

“·················ogue.”

“Actually, like a compound rifle, an object with a complex structure doesn't suit the battlefield situation. So I'm thinking of individualizing the rifle and the 20mm firing system. To put it simply, we want to go with a structure that can be detached due to modularization.”

As soon as he spoke, he handed over the documents he had prepared.

When I carefully examine the face, a thick darkness is cast on the faces of the developers who were in charge of the poison control device and bullets . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

“I have no objection to that statement. However, it would not be easy to reduce the weight of the control system to this extent.”

"I understand. However, if IoSystem follows the weight of the fire control device that was being developed, it would have a huge impact on the battle.”

In fact, the problem with the control system developed by Io System was not just the weight.

Weak durability. Insufficient battery life. And malfunctions due to poor communication with bullets, etc. To say the least, there is no end.

However, it cannot be said that there were such problems with the control system, which will not be born anymore. I presented it as a problem we might encounter in the process of development.

“But to solve all those conditions, wouldn’t it be necessary for the three research groups to stick together almost every day?”

Researchers who were listening expressed displeasure.

In a situation where the research institutes are different like now, it's actually not that difficult.

He said, sneaking in their personnel transfer order.

“No need to worry about that. I am planning to move the entire project research staff to Thales using this opportunity.”

“You mean we’re all deployed to Thales?”

Those who responded were mainly researchers belonging to the Jaewoo Research Institute.

It is a natural fact that a sudden personnel change would not be desirable for them, who now pride themselves on being the best basic research group in Korea.

I was immediately clarified.

“This is a temporary measure for this project.”

"Ah... By the way, if the diameter of the bullet is 20 millimeters, it will be difficult to meet the ROC required by the military."

Perhaps it was a remark made out of shame.

But it was true that it was also a fairly heavy topic.

After thinking about it for a while, I said what I usually thought.

“By previous standards, the firepower wouldn't be that low. However, according to the ROC changed by the military, 20 millimeters is difficult. So I'm going to suggest expanding the caliber."

“Will that be acceptable?”

“It remains to be seen. So, for now, the bullet development department can focus on the problem of signal processing with the control system for the time being. And······."

When I stopped speaking, the researchers all looked at me in unison.

He opened his mouth again with a small smile.

“Jaewoo Research Institute will do its best to cooperate with this project. In particular, there is a possibility of using a lightweight composite material that is being developed, so please have hope.”

“What does that mean?”

One of the researchers asked without understanding the meaning.

At the same time, he is in charge of the control system that will benefit the most from composites.

By the way, I barely swallowed the words that told me that you were blessed came up to my throat.

“If we introduce it to the control system, we can reduce the weight by up to 50%. It's also possible to make it durable enough to withstand a potential battery explosion.”

“·················ogue.”(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

The researcher's eyes widened.

weight and durability.

It is not unreasonable to be surprised as two of the five biggest challenges are being solved at once.

However, there are still many problems to be solved.

“Batteries are going to be a bit of a headache. Efficiency is not lost even at minus 30 degrees Celsius, of course, it is also strong against impact. And it's not easy to find a battery that's guaranteed to last a long time and has a reasonable price.”

“I think it would be best for us to introduce the battery adopted by OICW as well.”

I've thought of that too.

The only worrying thing is that the unit price will be too high because the US canceled the development of OICW.

In fact, it is an area that needs to be considered a little more.

“By the way, rumors say that the US has given up on development for various reasons, but I don’t know if it is the right choice for us to develop it until the end.”

As I was deep in thought, one of the researchers alluded to.

When I think about that part, my heart is heavy as well.

But is there any way for the government to tell me to quit the business?

From my point of view, it would be best to increase the efficiency as much as possible.

“That’s why your role is that important…”

smart!

As I was about to leave a message, someone knocked on the door.

It has been the custom not to interfere in the middle of a meeting like this in any case.

"Come on in."

As he shouted in a puzzled mind, the door suddenly opened and Executive Director Lim entered with a pale complexion.

“I’m sorry during the meeting, but I have something to tell you.”

“·················ogue.”

For some reason, I asked for forgiveness and followed him.

When he passed the secretariat and reached the empty space, he whispered with a serious expression on his face.

“It is said that North Korea has just sealed off an underground tunnel that is being prepared for a nuclear test.”

“What does that mean? You mean starting a nuclear test?”

“No, it means that we have stopped preparing for a nuclear test altogether.”

“Why all of a sudden? Are you going to give up your nuclear program?”

“Is it possible? They're not stupid, and there's no reason to just give up on it for nothing.”

“·················ogue.”

That, too, was correct.

It just doesn't make sense to just give up something that's nothing but my lifeline.

Then what is the reason?

Suddenly, an unknown ominousness penetrates the heart.

Can you make nuclear weapons too?-109
