Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

Lin Heping felt a throbbing in his head.

How much did he drink yesterday?

It was just two bottles of Erguotou. In the army, he often drank straight from the bottle. Even a whole bottle wouldn't be a problem!

But what about now? How did he get drunk? What happened after he got drunk?

He remembered vaguely being carried into a room. He struggled to open his eyes, but everything was still swaying. He could faintly hear voices from outside.

"Xiaofang, this is a great opportunity. As long as you slip into that quilt, when Brother Lin wakes up and sees that the rice is cooked, he will definitely marry you."

"Yangzi, I, Wang Fang, love Brother Lin, love him to death. I want to be with him every moment, but I can't do that."

"Why? Are you afraid of ruining your reputation?"

"My reputation doesn't matter, but Brother Lin is a hero who returned from the battlefield. I can't tarnish his name. I'll be satisfied even if I can just see him every day."

"Whatever. Sigh, happiness is something you have to fight for yourself. You should be bolder when you meet someone you like. If he doesn't submit, then sleep with him until he does. Forget it, this is the last time I'll say anything. The factory must be getting anxious waiting for me. I'm going to the factory affairs meeting."

The creaking sound of the door hinges turning came from outside.

"I, I..."

"Brother Lin, you are a hero. I like you," Wang Fang mustered her courage and said the most lethal sentence.

Men chasing women, separated by a mountain; women chasing men, separated by a layer of gauze!

Qin Yang hummed a little tune and arrived at the office building, which was already full of people.

"Section Chief Qin, you've finally arrived. Hurry up and tell us, what is the fifth thing?" Zhu Zizhong said, "We were just discussing, are you going to develop a new small-caliber automatic rifle for us?"

"That's right. Now that we've developed small-caliber bullets, we need guns to test them. Otherwise, how can we determine if the bullets are qualified? When we report to the superiors and perform, we'll use our gun to demonstrate the performance of the bullets!"

Everyone was stunned. How many days are left? Six days or five days? To make a gun in such a short time?

In the eyes of others, it seems impossible, but for Qin Yang, anything is possible!

"So, let's start now?"

"Yes, what are we waiting for? Bring the blueprints and drawing tools," Qin Yang said.

"It's already prepared!" Qin Baoguo was prepared and directly set up a drawing board in the meeting room to assist Qin Yang.

Back then, Qin Yang was falsely accused of stealing a gun, but he turned the situation around on the spot and designed an advanced air gun. Now, Qin Yang is going to show his ability again!

Various drawing tools danced in Qin Yang's hands. Soon, an advanced automatic rifle appeared on the blueprint.

However, looking at this blueprint, everyone's expressions were very strange.

"How is this gun?" Qin Yang looked at the crowd.

"Well, it looks very beautiful, but..."

"But what?"

"This gun looks a lot like an AK rifle, Yangzi. Didn't you say yesterday that bullpup rifles are the trend?" Qin Baoguo said.

From this design drawing, this gun is the same as the world-famous AK, with no innovation in appearance, which is completely different from Qin Yang's usual performance!

In the past, every time Qin Yang designed something, it would make people's eyes light up. But now? This gun is even inferior to the one made by Factory 296. At least it's longer than the AK.

"Did I say that yesterday? What I said yesterday was that bullpup rifles are a trend, right?"

Aren't trend and tendency the same thing?

Everyone couldn't understand.

"A trend is when everyone rushes to be fashionable together, but trends don't necessarily last. Maybe in a few years, the trend will change again," Qin Yang said. "A tendency is different. A tendency is the inevitable direction of development, the necessary path."

"Are you saying that even though the whole world is now in a frenzy of researching bullpup rifles, perhaps in the future they will feel that the old guns are easier to use, so they will revert to rifles with stocks?" Zhu Zizhong asked.

"Congratulations, you got it right." Qin Yang's way of speaking is always unique, but everyone doesn't care about his way of speaking, they have to pay attention to the content of his words.

Now, countries are following the trend. In the 80s and 90s, the trend was almost entirely bullpup rifles.

However, the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, remained unmoved and firmly followed their own path. As a result, in the 21st century, countries gradually discovered that the bullpup rifles in their hands were no longer desirable. In the end, except for the United Kingdom, which still insisted, the other five permanent members of the Security Council all retreated.

That's right, China also abandoned the bullpup Type 95, and chose a stocked structure for the next-generation rifle.

In fact, when the Type 95 was being developed, because the troops had too many opinions, a stocked Type 03 rifle was temporarily developed, but the number of units equipped was not large. The Type 95 was still being replaced in large numbers. At the 2019 military parade, a brand-new automatic rifle appeared in everyone's sight. The domestic designation is Type 19, and the West gave it the number QBZ-191.

Now, what Qin Yang has drawn is the design drawing of this automatic rifle.

"Yangzi, what's the difference between this and our Type 56 assault rifle?" Qin Baoguo asked.

"The difference is huge. First of all, the gun body, stock, grip and other parts are made of a large number of composite materials, which will greatly reduce the weight. Its stock can be adjusted. It adopts a short-stroke piston gas operation principle. These are secondary. The most important thing is that it can be equipped with various tactical kits through the Picatinny rail."

This gun was designed in 2016. At that time, it referred to many mature designs, such as the M1, etc. It is a collection of many advantages!

"It also has another advantage, which is modular design. The universal bullet we are developing is to allow ordinary automatic rifles, machine guns, and precision shooting rifles to all use the same bullet. Our gun is also a series, which can be converted to different guns by replacing different parts."

After listening for a long time, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that Qin Yang was prepared, and the future of this series of guns is immeasurable!

What a cool gun.
