Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

"Okay, stop talking about this useless stuff. Come on, I'll take you to see the leader!"

As he spoke, Song Lian saw that Zhou Tian was about to open his mouth, and fearing that he would say something infuriating enough to kill him, he pulled him into the second floor, came to the door of an office, motioned Zhou to be quiet, and walked up to knock on the door.

"Enter!"

Hearing the sound coming from inside, Song Lian pushed open the door and walked in with Zhou Tian.

"Hello, Chief!"

Song Lian entered the office and saluted a middleman in military uniform who was working at his desk.

"It's him!"

However, Zhou Tian recognized at a glance that the middle-aged man in military uniform in front of him was the leader he had seen in Lou Jiancheng's office before. Only then did he understand why Brother Song had always wanted him to come to the military factory.

"Hello, Chief!"

Zhou Tian understood and shouted quickly.

"Oh, who was that? It's Master Zhou. Master Zhou, please take a seat!"

The middle-aged man in military uniform first glanced at Song Lian, and then when he saw Zhou Tian, ​​his eyes suddenly lit up. He hurriedly stood up, took a few steps forward, and pulled Zhou Tian to the sofa beside him.

As for Song Lian, he was naturally ignored by the middle-aged man. However, Song Lian was not angry. Instead, he shamelessly moved closer to the two of them, acted as a serviceman, and poured tea for them.

"Master Zhou, I've been looking forward to your coming!" After sitting down, the middle-aged man looked at Zhou Tian and said enthusiastically, "When it came to the processing of gun barrels, the quality of the gun barrels processed by Master Zhou was the best in the entire Sijiu City. At that time, I wanted to transfer Master Zhou to the military factory, but unfortunately Master Zhou disagreed. Now I can only ask Master Zhou to come and give me some advice through Song Lian!"

"You are too polite, Commander. It is just that I am not suitable for the constraints of the military factory. Besides, there are many hidden talents in the military factory, so there should be no shortage of me!"

Listening to the middle-aged man's words, Zhou Tian hurriedly spoke politely.

Zhou Tian said this sincerely. God knows that although there are many master chefs in various factories now, it depends on where they are compared with. Compared with the master chefs in military factories, they are nothing.

After all, the military factory represents the country's most advanced weapons manufacturing, and there is certainly no shortage of master craftsmen in this area. As for the advice the chief just gave, he naturally would not take it seriously.

"Hahaha, Master Zhou is too modest!"

The middle-aged man in military uniform couldn't help feeling happy when he heard Zhou Tian praising the master in his factory, but he still said.

"But to be honest, Master Zhou, our military factory is not having a good time either. I'm sure you've heard from the radio that the situation on the peninsula is not good. Although the soldiers on the frontline are fighting hard, logistics are difficult to supply, and most importantly, we are facing a huge gap in equipment!"

"The enemy used aircraft and artillery, while we only had millet and rifles. This gap is truly heartbreaking!"

"Although our military factory masters have worked overtime to rush the production, we still have a huge gap in this type of equipment."

As he spoke, a look of dejection flashed across the middle-aged man's face, and then he suddenly changed the subject, "Master Zhou, I know you are a genius. You have developed a horizontal lathe that is comparable to the most advanced in foreign countries. I would like to ask, are you willing to study weapons as well?"

After saying that, she looked at him expectantly.

Originally, according to the middle-aged man's original idea, he just hoped that Zhou Tian could give some advice to the master craftsmen in the factory on how to make gun barrels of better quality. However, since he learned that Zhou Tian had developed a horizontal lathe, his idea suddenly changed.

Since Zhou Tian was able to develop a horizontal lathe, could he also develop some weapons? Although he knew that this idea was a bit ridiculous, after all, machinery and firearms were two different research directions, but there was no harm in trying.

Besides, it would be fine if there wasn’t any, but if there was, wouldn’t he make a fortune?

Zhou Tian was slightly stunned by the chief's question. Didn't they just talk about the gun barrel? Why did they suddenly mention weapons research again? But facing the chief's proposal, to be honest, he was tempted.

Thinking back to when he was processing the gun barrel, he wanted to study weapons and equipment, but the steel rolling mill was still a private factory at the time, so even if he wanted to, he didn't dare to do it. But isn't the leader's proposal now a perfect opportunity?

Although this would take up a certain amount of his time, he decided to agree in order for the country to win this war as soon as possible, which concerns the country's destiny.

What's more, there are many master craftsmen in the military factory, and perhaps he only needs to provide drawings and does not need to participate in other matters at all.

Having made up his mind, he nodded and pretended to be somewhat helpless and said, "Commander, since you said so, how can I not agree?"

"Okay, great, Master Zhou. I don't know what materials or machine tools you need. Just tell me and I will prepare them all for you!"

The middle-aged man had originally planned to wait for Zhou Tian to refuse, but he didn't expect that he would agree immediately. In addition to being happy, he opened his mouth and made the promise directly.

"Commander, there's no need to prepare anything yet. I want to take a look at the scale and conditions of the factory first!"

Zhou Tian thought about it and waved his hand.

After all, if he wants to come up with a design, he must first understand the scale and equipment of the military factory. Only in this way can he come up with a reasonable design drawing. Otherwise, if the drawings cannot be processed, it would be a joke.

"Okay, then I'll take Master Zhou to visit the factory right away!"

As the middle-aged man in military uniform said this, he immediately stood up and took Zhou Tian out of the office and walked towards the factory.

The military factory's factory building was designed with expansion in mind, so it covers a large area. Next, the middle-aged man in military uniform took Zhou Tian to visit the workshops and production equipment for the whole morning.

From the middle-aged man, Zhou Tian also learned about the various difficulties that the military factory was currently facing. First of all, there was a big gap in the supply of ammunition. Secondly, there was a big gap in firepower and firearms compared to the equipment of the Bald Eagle.

Especially as the situation on the peninsula becomes increasingly intense, this difficulty is increasing day by day.

After visiting the military factory, Zhou Tian had a general idea in his mind. He recalled the virtual drawings of the water-link gun in his mind when he was making the gun barrel.

Now that he thought about it, it seemed very suitable for production in current military factories. However, on second thought, he felt that it was a bit outdated. After all, although the water-jet rifle had the advantages of good shooting accuracy, few failures, and strong bayonet rigidity, it was still a bit outdated.

However, since it is a non-automatic weapon, it has disadvantages such as low combat rate of fire, inconvenient operation, heavy weight, small magazine capacity and poor corrosion resistance. It is difficult to adapt to the requirements of emergency and sudden wars. Therefore, it was replaced after a short period of use in the army in the previous life.

On the contrary, the Type 1956 semi-automatic rifle produced in 56 may be more suitable for this era. After all, it has been in use since it was finalized in 56 and has been in use until the reform and opening up.

You should know that this is a very classic semi-automatic rifle in our country.

Total gun length: 1.025 meters, empty gun weight: 3.85 kilograms, caliber: 7.62 mm, magazine capacity: 10 rounds, ammunition: 7.62 mm rifle bullet, initial velocity: 735 meters/second, effective range: 400 meters, maximum range: 1500 meters, aiming baseline length: 480 mm

The Type 56 semi-automatic rifle has the advantages of light weight, good shooting accuracy, reliable mechanism action, etc. It is equipped with a folding bayonet and can be used for hand-to-hand combat.

Although it was later replaced by Type 56 and Type 56, it does not mean that the Type semi-automatic rifle is weak. On the contrary, the fact that it was not replaced until after the reform also proves the excellence of the Type semi-automatic rifle.

And most importantly, he remembered that this rifle was introduced by Elder Xu from Big Brother in his previous life in June of this year, and was eventually imitated and modified by the military factory to become a finalized rifle.

If he could get this information through the leader, he could develop it in advance in 51, which would be a good thing for the soldiers on the peninsula.

As for the firepower issue mentioned by the chief, he had another idea, but for now he still needed to take it step by step.

After visiting the factory, Zhou Tian and the leader returned to the office.

"How about it, Master Zhou, do you have any ideas?"

As soon as he returned to the office, the middle-aged man in military uniform couldn't help but ask.

"Commander, you are too impatient. I just finished my visit. Even if I have an idea, it will take time!"

Faced with the leader's impatience, Zhou Tian couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"I was a little too impatient, but Master Zhou, you should be able to understand my feelings. After all, whenever I think of the Peninsula soldiers still fighting with the Bald Eagle soldiers with outdated equipment, my heart can't help but be broken!"

The middle-aged man in military uniform said this, and couldn't help but sigh, looking a little depressed.

After all, his industry was inferior to others, and he really had no other choice.
