Rebirth of Military Workers

Chapter 263

“The surrounding environment and what you saw in it, what did you think of?” Zheng Yucheng asked Xie Kai, who was looking forward to it, pointing to the surrounding environment.

The Firearms Research Institute is located in the northwest corner of the base. It is an independent courtyard house, and there is no street connecting it to this side.

The northwest area was originally the location where the base was built. Xie Kai and the others are very familiar with the surrounding environment of the base, and they don’t seem to notice the existence here.

“Prison!” In Xie Kai’s heart, only prison is like this.

“To be precise, it was the place where the technicians who made mistakes in the base were exiled. My son, who was originally a young technician from the Gun Research Institute…” Zheng Yucheng took a deep breath, and the smoke in his mouth burned. One-third of it fell, and then the soot was blown away by the lingering cold wind.

Xie Kai was surprised.

This is the most secret thing about the base, right?

“But those old people, what does it have to do with this matter?”

“It turns out that they are not from our base. The young people here are all the children of the base. At that time, you couldn’t understand and hadn’t experienced it. After all, you were too young…” Zheng Yucheng explained to Xie Kai.

Through Zheng Yucheng’s explanation, Xie Kai understood who the people in this gun research institute were.

Those who are older are indeed experts, and it was them that Zheng Yucheng wanted to come back. Some of the young people are from outside, and some are the children of the base who rebelled with Zheng Yucheng’s son. Some are from the Gun Research Institute, and some are not.

In the chaotic era, the experts not only failed to prevent such things from happening, they even contributed to the situation. The Firearms Research Institute was not in this position at the beginning. It had a full set of weapons and equipment production equipment. Although they were all used by hand, they could also make firearms.

Dozens of 56 semi-autos were manufactured in the research institute. Whether they were forced or actively helped, the old technicians did not report to the management committee…

So, in the end they got here, and the people on the management committee had nothing else but tools for them to design drawings.

This is the least popular group of people in the entire base.

“Can they do it?” Xie Kai couldn’t comment on these, even though he had experienced a lot, in that era, no one could tell who was right or wrong.

Zheng Yucheng’s handling of these things is not bad.

Salaries are still paid, regardless of them.

The only thing is to cut off their contact with other people on the base. If they are handed over to the court for handling, or even handled by the military back then, their consequences can be imagined.

“Professional technical ability is beyond doubt. Especially those old guys, the research in the field of firearms is still good.” Zheng Yucheng said.

Xie Kai nodded, knowing that Zheng Yucheng should be in a very bad mood now, so he didn’t ask any more questions.

The two left the gun research institute and returned to the management committee. After the two had a meal in the headquarters office canteen, Zheng Yucheng was going to work on his own affairs, while Xie Kai rode Zheng Yucheng’s bicycle to the defense regiment to find He Chao and Yang Bin. .

“You want a 79 sniper rifle? What is that thing coming for? The base should have it?” Yang Bin frowned and asked Xie Kai.

The request made by Xie Kai made them very embarrassed.

“Improve this sniper rifle.” Xie Kai said without hesitation, “Even if there is a faulty gun, there is no problem.”

“That’s true. There has never been a gun repair shop here. It is handed over to the gun research institute of the base to get it. You know about these guns on your side!” He Chao was afraid that Xie Kai wanted to play with guns and proposed this.” Xie Kai, if you want to play with guns, we can take you to the shooting range.”

“No, it’s really just for research.” Xie Kai said, “Director Zheng has been busy these days, and he didn’t care about it, so I let me come.”

I asked Zheng Yucheng before that the base was originally responsible for the repair of weapons and equipment of the garrison regiment.

In the case of the Firearms Research Institute, after a firearm malfunctioned, people there were usually called out to other places to deal with it. New weapons like 79 sniper rifles were only accessible to a few old technicians.

They knew about the 79 sniper rifle, they had no drawings, no specific technology, let alone the rest of the base.

“There are exactly three sniper rifles on the reconnaissance company that need to be repaired. I’ll send you back.” He Chao thought for a while and talked with Yang Bin before saying to Xie Kai.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Clearly do not believe Xie Kai.

Xie Kai looked at him and nodded, “The guns you are equipped must be accompanied by your people. I won’t touch them. Even if I want to touch them, I can’t help them? I have to get bullets.”

The army has strict management of guns, and Xie Kai knows that even if the other party feels relieved to hand over the gun to him, he will not agree and ask them to arrange someone to accompany Xie Kai to send it back.

With a gun, in the absence of bullets, it is no different from a fire stick.

He Chao asked people to take three broken 79s and drove them to the base headquarters by himself. Xie Kai’s bicycle was hung on the back of the car.

“Three sniper rifles? You guys are really good, hasn’t it been repaired last time?” Zheng Yucheng looked at He Chao, a little dissatisfied. “Your troops don’t have much equipment for this thing. You have to repair a batch every time you go.”

“Director Zheng, this is nothing we can do. There was a problem with the quality of the previous production, not because we didn’t care!” He Chao explained to Zheng Yucheng with a wry smile.

The 79 sniper rifle itself is an imitation product. There was almost no modification when it was finalized at the beginning. The processing accuracy and quality can not be compared with the Soviet Union, so it is normal for the products produced at the beginning to have quality problems.

Without too much testing, the frontline troops are in urgent need, and it is normal for the products to be manufactured to be of poor quality.

This year the Type 79 sniper rifle will be reshaped, and the 85 sniper rifle will appear.

Xie Kai knew that even if the 85th sniper rifle appeared, it would not be much improved, and the shooting accuracy at 400 meters away was too poor.

It can also be used to equip armed police. It can be equipped to special operations forces, which is too demanding for the personal requirements of snipers.

“What’s the problem with these?” Wang Guilin asked.

“One of the firing pins was broken, and one of the scopes could not be locked; there was a problem with the receiver part…” A young cadre who followed He Yue introduced the situation.

“If the firing pin is broken, you can replace it yourself!”

“It has been replaced several times, and it is impossible to ensure that the re-entry mechanism is completely consistent. There should be problems with the entire re-entry mechanism,” said the young cadre.

Wang Guilin didn’t know the specific situation either. “Wait a minute, I will ask the comrades from the Firearms Research Institute to come and see.”

Xie Kai had not been in contact before, and did not know that the base also undertakes the repair of weapons and equipment of the garrison.

I don’t even know the situation at the Gun Research Institute.

It is estimated that these circumstances are not clear to them.

From the outside, the three 79 semi-automatic sniper rifles on the table can’t be seen at all. Xie Kai doesn’t know much about firearms.

Perhaps this has a direct relationship with Zheng Yucheng and the others.

If it weren’t for him, the base would never have touched on the research of guns. Their original units were also engaged in artillery and missile-related businesses.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to produce a complete set of drawings for avant-garde air defense missiles.

“Director Han, thanks for your hard work!” Soon, several neatly dressed cadres of the Gun Research Institute came over.

He Chao greeted them as soon as they entered the door.

Director Han is actually an old man cutting cabbage at noon!

“Han Weidong, the director of the Gun Research Institute, participated in the Korean War and was originally an expert in gun repair.” Wang Guilin didn’t know if he had received Zheng Yucheng’s instruction and began to introduce a few people to Xie Kai.

When Han Weidong and others came in, they were surprised to see Xie Kai also.

There was no sound at all. After chatting with He Chao, they ignored Zheng Yucheng and Wang Guilin, and went straight to the sniper rifle on the table.

“That short and fat man named Xiao Manzhi, participated in the design of the 56 semi-automatic rifle and the 63 semi-automatic rifle…”

Following Wang Guilin’s introduction, Xie Kai discovered that these old men are not small and they all have rich experience in domestic firearms research.

I just don’t know what mistake they made and entered the base.

“These guns will take two days to repair.” After the inspection, Han Weidong said.

I don’t know if it was to Zheng Yucheng and others, or to He Chao and the others.

“Director Han, we are not in a hurry.” He Chao heard that it only took two days, and said quickly, “We still have a batch of Bayi to be repaired. Let someone send it over in a while.”

“This time it is not only to repair, but also to modify these guns.” The relationship between Zheng Yucheng and Han Weidong and others was not harmonious, not too bad, anyway, He Chao and others didn’t feel anything abnormal.

Xie Kai knows the inside story, but can feel the gap between the two sides.

“How to change it?” Xiao Manzhi asked with a frown, “These guns are all active-duty equipment of the army, and if we change it, it won’t be useful.”

“Deputy Director Xiao, Commander He and they are currently groping to improve the combat capability of their troops. Our base is undertaking the task of providing them with equipment for special operations.” Xie Kai stood up, smiled at the old man and said, “You understand The 79 semi-automatic sniper rifle, knows what is wrong, our task is not only to fix these problems, but also to make it have higher accuracy.”

“Can it be changed?” Xiao Manzhi looked at Zheng Yucheng.

“Your technology can be guaranteed, and you can change it. After the change, it will be manufactured in small batches and various tests will be carried out. The funding is sufficient.” Zheng Yucheng said.

At the Firearms Research Institute, he said that five million yuan of funding, material supply and mechanical processing facilities, etc. are completely open.

As long as they produce the pictures, other departments of the base will give full cooperation.

It will no longer be the same as before, and their design drawings will not have a chance to become a finished product, and they will not enter the experimental process.

“If this is the case, there is no problem. In the previous repair process, we found a lot of problems, and there are also drawings…” Han Weidong said calmly, “These three guns can be used as experimental products, first modified like this, tested and then produced , Conduct various environmental tests.”
