Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

Chief Chen patted He Yuzhu's shoulder with a smile on his face and looked at Director Wang beside him: "Comrade Wang, how is it?"

Director Wang listened to the voices on the field and had to nod his head in praise: “Commander, this young comrade’s shooting skills are top-notch.

I wonder if you are interested in coming to our factory. We are in great need of such talents.”

After hearing this, Chief Chen pointed his finger at Director Wang with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"Okay! You are trying to steal my talent right in front of me. But I can't do that. He is now in the Ministry of Metallurgy and is not under my jurisdiction."

Only because Chief Chen didn't mind this matter did Director Wang dare to poach people in person.

Since Chief Chen has made his position clear, he will naturally not continue to argue.

Even though he has a serious personality, he understands that some things can only be done once.

"Well! That's a shame!"

Chief Chen did not continue talking about this topic and instead began to ask He Yuzhu.

"Zhu Zi, tell me about your experience using this gun. Is there anything that can be improved?"

He Yuzhu pulled the bolt, frowned, and carefully recalled the shooting experience just now. After a moment, he slowly spoke.

"Captain, can you take this gun apart and have a look?"

Chief Chen did not nod in agreement directly, but turned to look at Director Wang and his group, with a questioning look in his eyes.

"Commander, that's no problem." Director Wang quickly nodded in agreement and winked at the security officer.

He Yuzhu didn't want to show too much, so he handed the gun in his hand to the security officer and asked him to disassemble the rifle.

The security officer was obviously quite familiar with this rifle and disassembled it piece by piece with skillful movements.

Soon, together with the bayonet that had been removed earlier, each component of the rifle was placed on the table and presented to everyone.

He Yuzhu's eyes moved among these parts, and he already had a plan in mind.

There are just some areas for improvement, which are not something he can bring up here.

He looked at Chief Chen, asking for instructions in his eyes.

Commander Chen understood He Yuzhu's meaning and nodded to him imperceptibly.

He Yuzhu coughed lightly, pondered for a moment, and finally spoke out the superficial reason.

“Leaders, this gun is a copy of the original SKS rifle, right?

I have used this gun before. Although I don’t quite understand the technical issues, I feel that the bayonet is somewhat easy to deform.

Our country’s bayonet fighting is different from other countries. I have found that this bayonet has room for improvement. "

Commander Chen listened to his suggestion. Although it was not a big change, it was very pertinent and in line with his status.

"Director Wang, is there a problem like the one Xiao He mentioned?"

Director Wang looked at He Yuzhu with some surprise and nodded secretly in his heart.

The problem He Yuzhu mentioned does exist, but for some reason it has not been corrected.

"Commander, there is indeed a small problem here."

After receiving affirmation from Director Wang, Chief Chen nodded with a smile on his face.

He thought of the look He Yuzhu had given him before, and secretly guessed that he might gain more after returning.

"Okay, you guys organize some people to see if there are any ways to improve it. I'm not disappointed coming here today, this gun is really good.

I hope that comrades will continue to work hard so that our troops can all use this excellent gun."

"Yes, Chief!" Everyone stood at attention and saluted, answering loudly.

Commander Chen returned the gift and once again solemnly asked: "Then I'll leave it to you all!"

After leaving the military factory, Commander Chen was anxious to ask He Yuzhu, and the jeep rushed towards the school.

Lu Ming poured the tea and left the office quietly.

Commander Chen didn't even have time to drink his tea. With an urgent gleam in his eyes, he stared at He Yuzhu.

"Zhu Zi, what do you want to say at the shooting range?"

There was a hint of urgency in his words, and his hand unconsciously grasped He Yuzhu's arm tightly.

He Yuzhu sensed Chief Chen's urgency and went straight to the point without beating around the bush.

"Commander, how is the production of this gun now?"

Thinking about the current output of military factories was like a bucket of cold water poured on his heart, dampening Chief Chen's enthusiasm.

"Zhu Zi, I won't hide it from you. This gun has just been finalized, and the production volume is far from meeting the demand. If the entire army wants to be equipped with it, I'm afraid we'll have to wait for many years.

Now with your help, the number of machines and equipment has increased, and the output has also increased slightly. Otherwise, it would probably take another ten years."

He sighed and continued, "Nowadays, we still have to rely on imports for gun steel. According to the supply contract, there is only so much steel available each year."

The steel used in the Type 56 was indeed imported. The Soviet Union had large reserves of steel, but it was very rare in China.

Seeing the disappointment on Commander Chen's face, He Yuzhu understood that this was the expectation of the older generation of generals for domestically produced weapons.

He leaned forward slightly and lowered his voice: "Commander, did I mention that I went to Magnitogorsk this time?"

Commander Chen immediately understood what he meant. His eyes suddenly lit up and his voice trembled: "You mean..."

He Yuzhu just nodded slightly, without saying anything further, to confirm the meaning of Chief Chen's words.

Although he didn't steal the alloy formula, he could beat the opponent by picking any material from the flood of knowledge brought by cheating.

"Captain, let me continue talking about improvements to the rifle."

Commander Chen quickly picked up the teacup, took a sip, tried to calm his inner excitement, and raised his hand to signal He Yuzhu to continue.

“I see that many parts on the gun are formed by machining, which has low material utilization and low production efficiency.

If this continues, it will be strange if production can be increased.”

With his knowledge improved after this mechanical skill upgrade, He Yuzhu feels somewhat disgusted with the current inefficient processing method.

A look of disdain appeared on his face, and a bunch of design plans had already come up with in his mind.

Chief Chen saw the expression on his face and was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. This production line that he had worked so hard to get was actually despised by He Yuzhu.

However, out of love for He Yuzhu, he reached out and hit He Yuzhu a few times, neither lightly nor heavily.

"Don't show off your skills, kid! This is not good. Many people have suffered a lot because of this."

The little flame that had just risen in He Yuzhu's heart was extinguished in an instant. He smiled awkwardly and nodded repeatedly in agreement.

He thought to himself that maybe he hadn't properly digested the aftereffects of this indoctrination, and he needed to calm down after returning.

"Since you have such a great harvest, you should stay here for two more days and go back to Sijiu City to work as soon as possible."

Commander Chen suddenly frowned and made arrangements in a serious manner.

"Ah? Commander, it won't take a few days, right? I was passing by Fengtian and wanted to visit my elders."

Seeing that Chief Chen was so anxious, He Yuzhu hurriedly expressed his plan.

"Haha! You're serious! You're so impatient, young people should be more observant!"

Commander Chen was in a good mood because he had amused He Yuzhu. He stood up and patted him on the shoulder.

With the reassurance given by He Yuzhu, he just felt relaxed and refreshed.

"Hey~ Chief! Well, as long as you are happy, can you arrange my ticket for me?"

He Yuzhu stood up and followed Chief Chen with a playful look on his face.

Chief Chen sat down on the chair behind his desk, took the document beside him and began to review it, waving his hand without even looking up.

"Go away! Don't bother me with such trivial matters."
