Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

#171 - Chapter 171: I can't do anything else but launch a satellite

In the following days, Qin Yang was very busy.

Now that the design was complete, it was time to manufacture it. The bullet matter had been handed over to Wang Zhihe. Next, he had to keep a close eye on the research and development of the gun.

After all, this gun used a lot of advanced technology, and the proportion of composite materials used was also very high. Fortunately, when he was working on the light heavy machine gun some time ago, he came up with a qualified material, which can be used directly now.

Time flew by at work, and Qin Yang seemed to have returned to his previous life. What made him curious was that he hadn't seen Lin Heping these days. It seemed that Wang Fang had followed his instructions and successfully entangled Lin Heping.

"Yes, this year Factory 960 has launched a lot of 'big satellites'. We look forward to launching a few more, so that our military industry can ride a rocket, catch up with Britain and the United States, and reach the highest level in the world!"

Many people had an optimistic attitude, but some people's moods were different.

Ammunition expert Wang Liqun walked down. Beside him was another ammunition expert, Wei Man.

"Old Wang, I heard that this Factory 960 is very powerful. We have been working on small-caliber bullets for more than ten years, and we haven't come up with a universal cartridge. This Factory 960 came up with it in just one week. This 'satellite' is really big!"

Wei Man had a loud voice, and almost everyone heard him when he shouted like this.

Zhu Zizhong frowned, knowing what Wei Man meant. He was just about to say something when he heard Qin Yang's voice.

"Yes, our Factory 960 is not good at anything else, but we are good at launching 'satellites'. Isn't it just researching a small-caliber bullet? What's so difficult about it? It's a waste of so much time, and we came up with two kinds of bullets. If this gets out, people will laugh at us."

There was only one person who could retort so bluntly.

Everyone felt a little emotional. There were many people who had argued with Qin Yang before, but they all ended up badly. Since Qin Yang became the head of Fangbei Industrial Company, no one has come to make trouble for themselves again.

Today, Wei Man's complaints as soon as he got out of the car were also for a reason. In addition to being an ammunition expert, he is also the deputy director of a domestic ammunition factory!

If the ammunition from the Capital Agricultural Tool Factory is recognized, then according to Qin Yang's requirements, this 5.8mm ammunition will have to be produced at the Capital Agricultural Tool Factory in the future. This is a piece of fat! In the 1980s, when the military industry was transforming, which factory didn't want to get orders from the army?

At this time, his words were turned back by Qin Yang, and he was very annoyed. He wanted to say something more, but Wang Liqun pulled him hard: "It's cold outside, let's go in."

According to the arrangement, they first had to enter the conference room to listen to the introduction of the Capital Agricultural Tool Factory for a morning, have lunch here, and take advantage of the warmest time in the afternoon to go to the shooting range to see the situation.

If this universal cartridge can demonstrate outstanding performance, it will be transferred to the national shooting range for formal experiments to finally determine whether it meets the needs of the army and whether it should be equipped.

In the conference room, everyone was seated, and Qin Yang swaggered in: "Chaozi, what are you still standing there for? Give each leader and colleague a bullet to let everyone take a look."

"Okay, okay." Zhang Chao quickly walked in, holding a wooden box filled with golden bullets. He walked and grabbed the bullets to distribute to everyone.

Guns and bullets are big issues, but in comparison, small bullets test design capabilities even more. The ammunition of any country has been tempered over and over again before it finally matures. The country has been researching small-caliber ammunition for many years, but it has not been able to solve the ammunition use problem of ordinary rifles, machine guns, and sniper rifles. How did the young man in front of him solve it?

Wang Liqun and Wei Man picked up the bullets and first looked at the shiny bullets in their hands.

The shape and outline of the bullet's warhead were almost the same as their previous ordinary bullets and heavy bullets. The double-strand arc-shaped curve shape was nothing special. Holding it in their hands, they couldn't feel any difference.

"This bullet is nothing special." Wei Man began to find fault again: "I see, there is no difference between this shape and the 5.8mm bullet we researched."

"Only laymen would look at the shape, right? Aren't the shapes of bullets all the same? It's just a matter of size." Qin Yang glanced at Wei Man: "The propellant is different, the weight of the warhead is different, and the rifling in the barrel is different, and the trajectory of the bullet flying out will be different. Old comrade, do you know this? If you don't know, I can tell you, don't worry, I won't charge tuition."

Qin Yang began to speak in his original annoying tone again. Sure enough, Wei Man was so angry that his face turned pale: "How could I not know? Do I need you to teach me?"

"If you know, why are you talking like a layman? Don't look at the same shape, do you think the inside of its warhead is the same as the inside of the warhead of the bullets you developed?"

"Old Wei, please say a few words less." Wang Liqun opened his mouth. He had long known Qin Yang's character. Anyone who provokes him will end up miserably. Now, Wei Man has been suffering losses continuously. If he continues to maintain this attitude, he will definitely become a joke to everyone today.

"Engineer Qin, the warhead weight of the ordinary bullets we researched before was 4.15 grams, and the warhead weight of the machine gun bullets was 4.8 grams. How much does your universal cartridge weigh?" Wang Liqun asked.

"4.55 grams." Of course, Qin Yang couldn't keep arguing with this Wei Man. He also had to introduce it to the leaders: "We took a compromise parameter. Its design concept is that the internal ballistics are like ordinary bullets and the external ballistics are like machine gun bullets, so that the two types of ammunition can be combined."

The heavier the warhead, the more stable it is, and the accuracy of long-distance flight will be higher. However, for automatic rifles that do not need such a long range, the power is surplus, so various factors must be considered comprehensively.

At this time, Wang Liqun nodded when he heard the warhead weight. It was indeed a compromise choice. However, this is not just a matter of changing the warhead weight. Many factors must be taken into account.

"Hmph..." Wei Man was just about to say something when Wang Liqun interrupted him.

"Director Qin, please tell us about it so we can learn from it." Wang Liqun said, "How can you make its internal ballistics like ordinary bullets?"

"We designed a new fast-burning propellant."

What?
