Siheyuan: Heavy Industry Revitalizes the Country

"Brother Li, why is this jeep different from the previous ones?"

The next morning, Fang Xiang saw that the jeep Li Changjiang was driving this time was a model he had never seen before, so he asked curiously.

"Hey, this is our domestically made jeep. How about it? Isn't it beautiful?"

Li Changjiang patted the front hood of the jeep and said excitedly.

"Our domestic ones? Then I'll have to take a closer look."

When Fang Xiang heard that it was a domestically made car, he immediately became interested and walked around the car several times.

When Fang wanted to travel through time, China was experiencing a period of explosive growth in domestically produced cars.

There are all kinds of car models, whether they are gasoline cars or electric cars.

They have all reached an unprecedented level, and it is visible to the naked eye that the peak is still not in sight.

Therefore, Fang Xiang is extremely confident about domestically produced cars.

This is also why his first car was Geely Emgrand and his second was BYD.

But after Fang Xiang walked around the car twice, his brows began to frown.

First, there’s the issue of size.

This car is obviously smaller and shorter than the previous one.

I roughly measured the size and it was about 4 meters long, 1 meters wide, and over 8 meters high.

Open the car door and take a look at the interior space, it is also pitifully small.

It seems to be only about two meters and three meters tall.

That's fine, the car only has two doors.

In other words, it is very troublesome to get to the back row.

And the rear space is pitifully small.

For example, think about those SUVs that have been forcibly added with a third row, and the space is even smaller.

Besides this, there is another very strange situation.

This car has no rearview mirror!

Do you believe it?

Speaking of rearview mirrors, Fang Xiang immediately realized that the glass of this car was also very small.

Won't you get carsick when riding in this car with such small windows and glass?

"What's wrong? You look like...?"

Li Changjiang watched Fang Xiang circle the car again and again.

I thought he would praise her, but I didn't expect Fang Xiang's expression to become more and more ugly.

I couldn't help but ask.

"Open the hood and let me see."

Fang Xiang did not answer Li Changjiang's question, but asked to see the engine compartment.

When Li Changjiang heard this, he didn't waste any words and directly opened the engine hood.

Fang searched for a long time but couldn't find the vehicle nameplate.

Is it that there is no such standard yet? Or is this car just a prototype?

As the engine hood opened, Fang Xiang stuck his head in and took a closer look.

It is an inline four-cylinder four-stroke water-cooled carbureted engine.

There is no sticker on it and no data can be seen.

I opened the engine cover and measured it with my hand.

The cylinder diameter of the engine is about ten centimeters.

After conversion, it seems to be around 2.4-2.8 displacement.

As for the rest, there's nothing to see.

Fang wanted to cover the engine cover and the engine compartment cover.

“How does this car feel to drive?”

Fang Xiang clapped his hands and looked at Li Changjiang who was standing next to him.

"How about we talk on the way in the car?"

Li Changjiang looked at Fang Xiang and showed such a serious expression for the first time.

I'm a little confused, but this is Shuimu University, so I can't say much.

"Row."

Fang Xiang nodded and climbed into the back seat. Before he sat down, he smelled a strong smell of gasoline.

After the vehicle started, it headed west.

“Actually, this car is indeed worse than the one you rode before.

But anyway, the previous one belonged to the Americans, and we captured it from North Korea.

Counting the time, it has been more than ten years now.

But I think our car is not as powerful as the old one."

On the way, Li Changjiang also spoke the truth and made a few complaints.

But more than that, I am proud that it can be made in China.

As he spoke, he was smoking a cigarette, and coincidentally, he had an ashtray that came with the vehicle.

Fang Xiang listened carefully, but his attention was always on the driving status of the vehicle.

Soon, the vehicle stopped again at the military camp in Xishan.

"Professor, Mr. Hu, Mr. Liu."

Professor Xu, Mr. Hu and others were still sitting in the tent, smoking and chatting.

Fang Xiang quickly stepped forward and greeted him.

"Xiao Fang is here.

Come on, come on, sit down quickly."

When Mr. Hu saw Fang Xiang, he waved with a smile and asked him to sit next to him.

As soon as Fang Xiang sat down, he saw a large table in front of him.

There were more than twenty weapons of various kinds neatly arranged.

“The rifle you designed last time was amazing!

At the beginning, only the experts and professors in the institute praised it.

Later, a small batch of sample guns were made.

It was sent to all parts of the country for testing.

I didn’t expect it to receive such unanimous praise. ”

After seeing Fang Xiang sit down, Mr. Hu couldn't wait to speak.

"As long as everyone likes it."

When Fang Xiang saw that Mr. Hu was so happy, he touched his head and said something modest.

"Especially that light machine gun you designed.

It not only fills the gap we had before.

It is also better than similar products that have been seized and purchased.”

Mr. Hu continued to praise happily.

Fang Xiang felt a little embarrassed by the compliment and could only smile and nod.

I was wondering, will there be a "but" or "however" later?

"But we still have some ideas."

Sure enough, there was a problem, Fang Xiang complained in his heart.

“This gun, if nothing unexpected happens.

I'm afraid it will replace the Type 63 and become our next generation's standard main weapon.

Some special forces and field troops put forward two requests.

One of them is, can the buttstock be made foldable?

The other is to add a bayonet."

After Mr. Hu finished speaking, he looked at Fang Xiang.

“As for the buttstock, it can be done, but there will be many problems later.

The bayonet... add a bayonet ring."

Fang Xiang understood as soon as he heard it.

These are the two parts with the most problems on the 81 lever, and it turns out that the root cause lies here.

After adding the folding stock, many parts are exposed.

Not only is it easy to wear, but it is also easy for sand and gravel to enter.

It will cause various problems and make it difficult to maintain.

After adding a bayonet, the center of gravity of the entire gun is destroyed.

Besides, logically speaking, who would still play assassination in the future?

Aren’t they all long-range attacks?

But Fang Xiang forgot about it more than ten years later.

On the South-South side, a lot of hand-to-hand combat took place during the counterattack.

But judging from big data, the proportion is indeed small.

So I briefly responded to Mr. Hu’s question.

“We thought, don’t bother two people with one thing.

So I still want you to come, how about it."

Mr. Hu actually already knew it.

After all, there are experts in the ministry and the army.

It was obvious that he was very clear about the consequences of the two requests he made.

But the requirements still have to be met, so just let Fang Xiang come.

"Okay, it's not a big deal.

It only takes a moment.

But having said that, it’s just a small question and you called me here.

Isn't this a bit of an exaggeration? "

Fang agreed without even thinking about it.

But for things like this, you can just make a phone call or ask someone to tell them.

Why go to so much trouble to find me?

"Of course, there must be other ideas.

You see, there are both rifles and light machine guns.

Then, would you like to try the heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns as well?"

As soon as Mr. Hu finished speaking, Fang Xiang understood immediately.

Oh my god, I’m being fleeced again.

But I'd like to thank Mr. Hu for giving me such a gift before the New Year.

It doesn't matter since I've never touched an anti-aircraft machine gun.

But who among those who have played CSGO doesn’t know the great reputation of Negev and M249?

Coincidentally, Fang Xiang had actually seen the drawings of these two guys.

It's nothing more than copying it again.

Just when Fang was about to nod.

But suddenly I remembered.

Heavy machine gun, heavy machine gun, the starting caliber must be 7.62 mm, right?

Even 12.7 mm.

But Negev was developed in the 60s.

I definitely can't copy this, otherwise, if I get caught, how will I explain it?

That only leaves the M249, which is from the 80s, so it’s not so bad.

But the M249 is designed specifically for the 5.56 caliber.

If you hard-code to 7.62, there will inevitably be a lot of problems.

It's even impossible to use.

How to do?
