Chapter 404 Weapons research and development must still be people-oriented

At the open-air shooting range within the Weapons Research Institute, testing of pistol development and modification projects is underway.

Wang Shengli from the 738 Research Institute was just a blockbuster. The first time he came on stage, he immediately brought everyone a stunning work - Greedy Wolf!

Even from Tang Ming's perspective, purely from the appearance, there weren't many faults to be found.

The small and exquisite Greedy Wolf was held in Wang Shengli's hand like a toy gun.

It wasn't until Wang Shengli loaded the bullet and opened the safety, aimed at a chest ring target 10 meters away, and fired with a bang that people suddenly realized that this was not a toy gun at all, but a real anti-personnel weapon!

However, at the moment when the bullet came out, everyone present could clearly see that Wang Shengli's hand holding the gun was slightly raised, which showed that Greedy Wolf's recoil was definitely not small.

But if you think about it carefully, you can understand it.

The Tanlang shot in Wang Shengli's hand completely penetrated the chest ring target 10 meters away and broke a big hole!

This shows that Greedy Wolf's firepower and accuracy are guaranteed. At least it shows that the pistol designed and built by Mr. Wang is already a qualified work.

Bang bang bang bang bang!

Mr. Wang then fired several more shots until all eight bullets in the magazine were used up.

The eight bullets were evenly distributed on the chest ring target, indicating that the reliability of Greedy Wolf is also very good.

On the face of it, there is nothing wrong with Mr. Wang’s pistol.

Then everyone's eyes turned to the test auxiliary equipment aside.

This time everyone frowned!

"Mr. Wang, does your gun still have some flaws?"

Mr. Wen's question seemed rude, but in fact it was very tactful.

There is no other reason.

A very dazzling red warning light lit up on the weapon test auxiliary equipment next to it.

This shows that just now Mr. Wang emptied a magazine and the temperature of Greedy Wolf in his hand has exceeded the warning level.

In other words, the Greedy Wolf in Mr. Wang’s hands failed the heat resistance test!

Heat resistance test is a very important indicator in weapons testing. This problem exists in the automatic rifles currently used by active forces.

Once fired continuously, that is to say, when soldiers use it to fight continuously, the barrel of the gun will become extremely hot, which will directly affect the accuracy of the weapon, and may even explode the barrel, endangering the lives of soldiers.

The pistol designed by Mr. Wang not only uses 9 mm caliber bullets, but also has a relatively fast rate of fire and serious heating.

If Mr. Wang hadn't had heat-insulating gloves on his hands, he might have been burned by this time.

"I know where the problem lies!" Mr. Wen thought that Mr. Wang would not be happy to hear his question. Unexpectedly, Mr. Wang explained very generously: "My greedy wolf's fever is very serious. I'm afraid It does not meet the requirements of project stability!”

"Then Mr. Wang, what are you...?" Mr. Wen didn't know what to say.

"Mr. Wen, you don't know that my greedy wolf was originally supposed to use a new type of heat-resistant composite material that could greatly reduce the heating of the barrel, but..."

At this point, Mr. Wang sighed and looked at Tang Ming and the other three!

It's just that Mr. Wang didn't say anything, but those present were either experts in weapons research and development or insiders in the weapons industry.

As soon as I heard the words "new heat-resistant composite materials" appear in Mr. Wang's mouth, I knew where the problem was!

"It's just that if new materials are used, the cost of this pistol will probably double, right?"

Mr. Wen took over Mr. Wang's topic and asked tentatively.

"Yes! Mr. Wen, you are absolutely right!" Mr. Wang's tone was unavoidable with a hint of desolation: "I spent nearly 10 years researching pistols, but what I ended up with is a work that has no practicality at all. , from a designer’s point of view, it is a failure, but I am already satisfied!”

Mr. Wang stroked the greedy wolf in his hand, just like stroking his own child!

"In terms of portability and concealment, I reduced the wall area and weight. At the same time, in order to make it have enough lethality, I used 9mm caliber bullets, which generally meets the project requirements!"

“The only problem is the heat!”

"Before the cost of the new heat-resistant material comes down, the cost of my pistol will be at least three times higher than that of a conventional pistol, so it is destined to only appear in the laboratory!"

As he talked, Mr. Wang took a liking to Liu Ying, Wang Ziyue, and Tang Ming: "You three are all young heroes, the elites and top leaders in China's weapons research and development field!"

"My failure was that I overly pursued the ultimate performance of Greedy Wolf from a designer's perspective, but I forgot that weapon R\u0026D and manufacturing also require sustainable development and people-centeredness!"

"The purpose of our research on weapons is to protect the people of China and ensure that the people can live a happy, healthy and beautiful life! If the cost of the weapons we develop is too high, it will naturally drag down the people's economy, which is completely opposite to what we want to achieve. of!"

"Therefore." Mr. Wang concluded: "When we do weapon research and development, we must pay attention to economic factors and truly be people-oriented! This lesson is probably something you will never learn in class!"
