Chapter 7 Genius

Chen Mu was always filled with guilt towards his parents. Later, when he felt that life was meaningless, he chose to end his own life.

Now that he has come into this world, his parents are still alive, which makes him feel very fortunate. At the same time, he has decided in his heart that he must repay them to make up for his regrets.

"Why are you in the factory?"

Father asked Chen Mu to sit down and asked curiously while sitting next to him.

"Dad, I need to borrow equipment from the factory to make some things."

Chen Mu said.

“You want to make something?”

The father looked at Chen Mu strangely and subconsciously reached towards his forehead to see if his silly son had a fever.

"Dad, I'm twenty years old, I'm not a child anymore." Chen Mu was a little amused and slapped his father's hand away with a serious look on his face.

"Yeah, you're already twenty."

My father smiled, nodded, and said, "It's time to find a girlfriend."

“…”Well, in the eyes of parents, their children are always just children.

However, why do parents all over the world care about this issue?

It's time to find a partner!

"I designed a blueprint and wanted to make it and see for myself."

Chen Mu said this against his conscience.

"You? Still designing the blueprints?"

This time, it was the father's turn to be speechless. How could he not know his son's weight?

He has had no talent since childhood and has been lazy and gluttonous. If it weren't for his well-off family background, this brat would have ended up on the streets long ago!

That's it, and you still design the drawings yourself?

I’m afraid it’s a drawing of an origami airplane!

"Toy gun."

Chen Mu decided to prove himself with action, so he took out a USB drive and placed it on his father's desk.

The toy gun is actually an improved version of the real M4 gun, but it has undergone some magical modifications after Chen Mu's scientific research improvements.

The material changed from alloy to plastic, and the bullets were made into plastic products as well. The bullets were fired by the spring at the bottom of the bullets to obtain kinetic energy...

As for other parts, there is no difference from real firearms.

Therefore, guns made of plastic can indeed be called toys.

"interesting."

My father smiled and of course didn't care too much about it. However, he still plugged the USB drive into the computer out of curiosity and started checking it out.

Chen Mu bought the USB flash drive at a random small shop on the road, then he directly asked the Huaqiangbei system to download the information about plastic guns into it, and then came to the factory.

"Huh? It looks pretty good."

My father opened the USB drive, which was full of design drawings. Every component was described in great detail.

This surprised the father. When did his son have such good patience? Just drawing the picture would probably take a lot of time!

"A toy gun only needs a few simple parts. Yours has dozens or even hundreds of parts. Do you think they are necessary?"

The father couldn't help but complain, but he couldn't hide his surprise.

"This isn't a real gun, so you don't need so many parts. In fact, you only need a barrel, a buttstock, a magazine, and a trigger. As for the bullets, there's no need to make them special and in the shape of real bullets. You can just use a universal plastic ball."

"Hehe, actually, this is another thing I wanted to say..."

Chen Mu put away his smile and looked at his father seriously. The latter also seemed to have noticed something and his expression became serious.

"I read some books about gun disassembly in the library a few days ago. I went back and thought about it, and tried to make a gun design myself. I think it's almost done, so I want to make it and give it a try, so..."

"So, this is a real gun?"

My father took a deep breath and looked around carefully. After finding that there was no one else, he whispered, "Do you know what this thing means? In China, this will send you to jail!"

"I know. So, this is a plastic toy gun. I'm not making it to sell. I just want to borrow the equipment in the factory to make one to see if I have talent in this area."

Not to mention anything else, the fact that you can make such a detailed design drawing proves that you have talent!

"The equipment in the factory can also process metal parts, so even if they are metal parts, there won't be any big problems."

My father gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and said, "You can use the equipment, but these parts must be divided into at least ten parts, produced separately, and then assembled here. The design drawings must not be known to a third person. Do you understand?"

My father seemed very serious and spoke carefully.

He has to be careful. If this matter gets out, it will be enough to send this stupid boy to jail for life!

However, if his son was eager to prove himself, he would have no choice but to support him. Besides, he was also quite interested in the firearms designed by Chen Mu.

"Actually, there's no need for that..."

Chen Mu was a little amused. He looked at his father seriously and said, "The factory didn't evade taxes, right? We are all legal citizens, right? I just designed a design and I'm not going to use it to do evil. Why are you being so cautious?"

"I won't sell the blueprints, I won't use them for profit, and I won't manufacture firearms to sell. I feel at peace with myself, so what do I have to be afraid of?"

"Besides, if this thing is really useful, at worst we can give it to the government and get a banner for it!"

"At least, I can be recognized as a talented designer!"

Can you figure out a firearm just by reading a few books?

What is this if not genius?

The title of "genius" is actually what Chen Mu urgently needs right now. Only by becoming a "genius" can he communicate with the public and have the opportunity to meet the "genius" Tony Stark!

Only a "genius" is qualified to help the military build an arsenal!

"Here... let's try it..."

After listening to what Chen Mu said, the father felt that it made sense. They did not evade taxes, nor did they accept bribes. They were doing business honestly and in an honest manner. They had not done anything wrong. What was there to be afraid of?

Besides, as Chen Mu said, if the designed "gun" is really good, then it will indeed prove the fact that his son is a genius!

This is very important. If he can get public recognition and praise, even if the university diploma is bought, it proves that his son has real talent and knowledge!

You can’t learn those things in college!

Besides, if his own son doesn't care, why should he hide it? At most, he can "hand it over" to the country, which can be regarded as giving his son a good reputation!

As a father, what he hopes for is not how much money Chen Mu can make, but whether he can have a bright future. If he can contribute to the country, no matter how big the contribution is, he will be very proud.
