Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

The L7 tank gun has continuously evolved over the long years. After entering the 21st century, the Americans modified the Stryker armored vehicle into a fire support vehicle, installing a fully automatic improved M68 tank gun. This tank gun is almost the ultimate evolution. Qin Yang simply took this modification plan and used it.

This was removed from an M1 tank and is considered a waste utilization. At that time, the recoil mechanism and recuperator were integrated, effectively reducing the space of the breech, making it easier to arrange an automatic loader. Now, although an automatic loader is not needed, the improvement plan can still be used.

As early as when Zhang Wanhe and the others asked Qin Yang to modify the 59 tank, Qin Yang had already thought of this method, so he dared to guarantee that it could be modified in half a day!

With the breech occupying less space, the lifting lugs and gun shield can naturally use the original design. With a simple modification, they can be installed!

Every pair of eyes on the scene was shocked. Being able to modify the mature British tank gun and also receive praise from the British, this Engineer Qin is indeed extraordinary.

Many of them did come with the attitude of watching a show, but now, they have become supporters of Qin Yang! Director Pan, who personally promoted this matter, had a face as dark as could be.

In the past, the disassembly of domestically produced tank guns was very complicated, and lifting the turret was a necessary step. After all, the old Russians never considered ergonomics much. As for disassembly and assembly, on the battlefield, the tank's survival time was only a few dozen hours, so there was no need to replace the barrel at all! They were prepared for a war of attrition.

The West is different. They attach great importance to the concept of maintainability. On the battlefield, even replacing the engine can be done by lifting the whole thing, which can be done in an hour or two, not to mention replacing the barrel. There is no need to remove the turret at all, just pull it out from the outside.

But everyone didn't know! The hateful British were also happy to delay the installation process, so they didn't remind everyone, so that everyone didn't know there was such a simple way! Maybe the thermal sleeve of the barrel was damaged during the overall installation.

Robert and the others pretended not to know anything and continued to admire Qin Yang's operation.

Qin Yang directed the crane to lift the turret back onto the tank, and then directed the crane to install the barrel. The whole installation process was smooth and flowing, showing that Qin Yang knew this tank gun very well. Is this person really the first time he has come into contact with the L7 tank gun?

He is simply like the designer of the L7 tank gun!

Although in this era, the L7 tank gun is still a novelty, in the time and space where Qin Yang came from, the L7 tank gun is definitely everywhere. The best modified L7 in the world is in the East, and Qin Yang is of course very familiar with this gun.

By noon, the entire gun was installed. Sections of homemade thermal sleeves were installed on the long barrel, and the extraction device in the middle bulged out, looking majestic and spectacular.

Sure enough, the installation only took half a day!

"Qin, your operation is impeccable, it's really great!" Robert said with emotion, "Should we adjust the gun next?"

"It's time to adjust the gun, but there's no need to rush. Let's go eat first. Director Fang, would you like to stay and have lunch with us in the cafeteria?"

Zhu Zizhong was a little anxious. You're inviting Director Fang to eat in our cafeteria? If we're going, we should go to a big hotel in the capital, isn't this embarrassing?

"Okay." Director Fang nodded happily. "I heard that the food in your cafeteria is good. Since we're here today, let's take the opportunity to taste it."

The secretary on the side was a little anxious. Director Fang, you still have a lot of work to deal with. Now that you've seen the L7 tank gun installed, we should leave!

Director Pan was also a little embarrassed. What about himself? He has been a clown for half a day. Should he leave quietly, or should he stay?

Just as he was hesitating, there were fewer and fewer people around him, and the voices of two technicians talking reached his ears.

"The next job is not easy! New gun, new shells, this gun calibration will definitely be a headache."

"That's right, only the gun has been changed, and the matching British imported fire control system has not been installed. Relying only on our gun sight, there is a high probability that the shells will be fired wildly!"

There are still articles in this? Director Pan followed up: "Comrades, just now I heard you say that the gun barrel has been installed, and the next gun calibration is still a challenge?"

"Yes."

Both of them were from the 201 Institute and didn't know Director Pan very well. Hearing Director Pan ask this, they immediately planned to introduce it to Director Pan. However, at this moment, Zhang Wanhe turned around with a serious face: "Xiao Wang, Xiao Zhao, pay attention to the confidentiality discipline!"

Director Pan glanced at Zhang Wanhe awkwardly: "Old Zhang, don't you still trust me?"

"Old Pan, you should also know the confidentiality discipline. The matter here has nothing to do with your foreign affairs department. You should do whatever you should do and don't waste your precious time here."

He was actually given an eviction order by Zhang Wanhe. Why, Zhang Wanhe is not the owner here! However, he hesitated for a few seconds and still didn't follow, and could only watch a large group of people leave.

These people were all instigated by him and originally wanted to watch the excitement. Now, these people are surrounding Qin Yang, that kind of intimate appearance is too annoying for him. He stomped his feet and turned to leave, but saw Qin Baoguo still staying in place.

He rolled his eyes and greeted him: "Factory Director Qin, aren't you going to have dinner together?"

"Someone has to watch here, so I'll just stay."

"Factory Director Qin, this is not very good. You are the leader of the factory. If you don't accompany the leaders to drink, how can it be done? Wouldn't it be neglecting Director Fang?"

"Drinking?"

"Yes, this is a good opportunity to get close to Director Fang! I have a few boxes of Moutai in my car, which our foreign affairs department specially uses to entertain foreign guests. You can take them and use them first."

"This, isn't it very good?"

"What's not good? Director Fang is here, and there are foreign friends here, so we can't lose our face!"

The cafeteria of the 960 factory became lively.

"Yangzi, is it appropriate to drink at noon?" Qin Baoguo asked someone to move the wine in, and then felt that it was a bit inappropriate. If he drank too much at noon, what would he do with the work in the afternoon? So he found Qin Yang and discussed it with him in a low voice.

"Moutai? Where did it come from?"

"Moved from Director Pan's place."

Qin Yang glanced at Director Pan, who was hiding furtively in the corner, and had an idea in his mind.

"It's not easy for Director Fang to come to our place for an inspection. Since Director Pan sponsored us Moutai, of course we have to drink it."

After Qin Yang finished speaking, he picked up a bottle of wine and poured it into the wine glass in front of him: "Director Fang is busy with everything, and all the comrades are usually very busy. It's not easy to gather together at noon today, and Director Pan from the foreign affairs department provided us with Moutai for free. Let's have a good time drinking today. If everyone doesn't have enough to drink, then we'll go to Director Pan's car to move more! Now, this first glass of wine, I wish the great motherland prosperity!"

Director Pan almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Moutai for eight yuan a bottle! A box is only seventy or eighty yuan, and two boxes of wine are only lent to the 960 factory. Now Qin Yang is actually treating it as a gift.

Moreover, he can't refute it on this occasion, otherwise he will be scolded as a stingy ghost! Moreover, if there is not enough to drink, go and move more? Is this going to eat a big household?
