The rise of great powers: starting from military industry

Liu Tao went to the toilet next to him.

Can't wait to say silently: "Upgrade!"

"Host, please choose the upgrade direction." The system prompted.

On the virtual panel, the upgrade directions such as range, weight, volume, grip, reliability, bullets, stability, accuracy, and lifespan are already displayed.

Liu Tao looked thoughtful.

The advantages of the Type 54 pistol are obvious. The bullets used have strong penetrating power and can even penetrate body armor. They have a long range. A skilled shooter can easily hit the chest target with a single shot fifty meters away. The structure is simple and can be assembled and disassembled. , reliability is also good.

However, the shortcomings are also obvious. The number of bullets is small. There are only 7 to 8 rounds in a magazine. Bullet jams may occur. The ergonomic efficiency is poor. The lifespan is also very short, only about 3,000 rounds.

After pondering for a while, Liu Tao chose the upgrade direction: "Upgrade the ergonomics and ergonomics."

Huh~~

The pistol seemed to glow with a gleam.

Liu Tao only felt that the pistol seemed to have changed, but it seemed that nothing had changed.

But holding the pistol in my hand, I felt much more comfortable than before.

Many people will say that the Type 54 has poor accuracy. This is due to the poor ergonomics of the Type 54 pistol. Its grip design is unreasonable in size, and the heavy gun body makes it difficult to maintain stable aiming for a long time. Coupled with the large trigger force brought by the gun firing mechanism, when firing, excessive force will be exerted to pull the trigger, causing the muzzle to shift diagonally downward, causing the ballistic trajectory to change and the impact point to be lower.

This requires a lot of practice to use the Type 54 pistol well.

The Type 54 pistol is not inaccurate, but difficult to shoot.

Leave the restroom and return to the shooting range.

Liu Tao raised his Type 54 pistol again, ‘Bang! ’ ‘Bang!’ ‘Bang! 'Aim at the target and shoot continuously.

It doesn't matter whether you hit the target or not, what's important is that the bullet was fired.

After filling the magazine, Liu Tao took out the magazine again and loaded bullets.

"Liu Tao, you're wasting bullets, I'm going to report it to the leader!" Li Yuanchao said angrily.

"How old are you, and you still only know how to make small reports!" Liu Tao glanced at Li Yuanchao and said disdainfully.

Aim at the target and pull the trigger.

Every time he pulled the trigger, the huge recoil always made his gun-holding arm jerk upward.

"Just wait, let the leader educate you!" Li Yuanchao said harshly, and then left.

Liu Tao pouted.

If Panshan Machinery Factory operates at full capacity, it can produce millions of rounds of ammunition every year.

The warehouses are filled with bullets produced over the years, and bullets are not rare at all.

And the bullet casings are all there, so when the time comes to fill them with gunpowder, it will be easy to produce them again.

Liu Tao finished one magazine and loaded it again.

"Hiss~~ My hands are so sore!" Liu Tao felt that his hands were so sore that he was shaking even while holding the pistol.

But Liu Tao was only excited.

Because the data on the pistol panel has changed: [Item level: LV2 (100/100) (upgradeable)]

I looked around and saw no one.

Liu Tao thought silently: "Upgrade, optimize stability!"

Huh~~

A glimmer of light flickered.

Looking at the gun in his hand, nothing seemed to have changed.

Liu Tao continued to try. If his right hand was sore, he would use his left hand.

It doesn't matter if you hit the target or not!

The important thing is to shoot the bullet.

You can pull the trigger with your right hand, and you can pull the trigger with your left hand!

boom! boom! boom.

The sound of gunfire continued.

There were bullet casings on the ground.

As for hitting the target, there were only a measly 3 bullets.

Previously, bullet jamming occurred, but this time, 200 rounds of ammunition were fired continuously, and no bullet jammed.

"Liu Tao, I'm so disappointed. I still don't believe Li Yuanchao came to me. I didn't expect you to actually shoot at the target!" came an angry voice.

Liu Tao looked around and saw a white-haired old man looking at him with angry eyes. His eyes were sharp and oppressive.

Next to him, Li Yuanchao was gloating.

Looking at the old man, Liu Tao showed a solemn expression.

Because this old man is the director of Panshan Machinery Factory, Wang Tiezhu!

What Liu Tao respects is not that Wang Tiezhu is the director of the factory, but that Wang Tiezhu is a serious senior.

His military exploits include first-class merit in the regiment, first-class merit in the brigade, second-class merit in the division, first-class merit in the division, special merit in the Central Plains Field Army, and first-class merit!

The titles of 'Combat Hero' of the division and 'Combat Hero' of the army are honorary titles given to this old man.

Later, when the Panshan Machinery Factory was built, Wang Tiezhu, who could have chosen to retire, continued to shine and served as the director of the factory, working in the mountains for a full ten years.

Workers in the entire factory admired the old man Wang Tiezhu.

Liu Tao was shocked by this fearless and dedicated spirit.

This is the style of the older generation!

"Director!" Liu Tao carefully arranged his clothes, stood up straight, and saluted Wang Tiezhu with a standard military salute.

He was not only saluting Wang Tiezhu, but also paying tribute to these old revolutionaries, who have endured hardships for generations and fought wars for generations.

When Wang Tiezhu saw this, his angry expression could not help but soften.

He felt Liu Tao's respect for him.

"Liu Tao, give me an explanation why you are shooting randomly here and wasting bullets." Wang Tiezhu stared at Liu Tao with sharp eyes.

As an old revolutionary from that era, Wang Tiezhu could not tolerate this kind of waste.

Back then, the army was short of guns and ammunition. Two or three soldiers shared one gun, and only five rounds of ammunition for each battle.

But Wang Tiezhu only heard no less than 50 bullets.

What he didn't hear was more, not less.

"Director, I have been studying the Type 54 pistol during this time and constantly improving this pistol. Today I came to the shooting range to test the gun." Liu Tao said without blushing.

"Are you studying the Type 54 pistol? Have you improved it?" Wang Tiezhu looked at Liu Tao suspiciously.

This guy couldn't be fooling himself.

"Director, you can give it a try." Liu Tao said: "I have only had time to improve the ergonomics and bullet jamming problems in the past two days. I fired 338 rounds today, and there has not been a single bullet jam."

"What?" Wang Tiezhu looked shocked.

As a veteran soldier, Wang Tiezhu is no stranger to the Type 54 pistol. His sidearm is also a Type 54 pistol, so he naturally knows the shortcomings of this pistol.

The bullet capacity is only 7 to 8 rounds, and bullets often jam, resulting in poor ergonomics.

He even complained to his comrades that the Type 54 pistol was not as useful as Mauser pistols.

In particular, bullets often jam, which can be a fatal flaw on the battlefield.

It is true that military factories and military research institutions are studying and solving the Type 54 pistol, but they have never been able to solve these problems.

Now Liu Tao, a young boy, actually says that he has improved two problems!
