Qin Yuan’s words made Lin Haidao blush, and he could not help but feel embarra.s.sed.
Since he had already said so, he did not say anything more. Lin Haidao looked at the box containing the sniper rifle.
“Why did you bring the Type 10 sniper rifle over? Did you change this one too?” Lin Haidao asked Qin Yuan in confusion.
Qin Yuan looked at the box and nodded. “It can be considered a little modified. Now, its original performance has increased by at least 5%.”
“What?”
Lin Haidao exclaimed in surprise.
“Are you serious? Qin Yuan, you’re not bragging, are you?” Lin Haidao questioned with a face full of doubt.
“Why would I lie to you?” Qin Yuan replied coldly.
Then, he rolled her eyes and shifted his body. “I’ve brought my gun with me. Even if I fool you here, I can’t fool those experts, right?” After hearing this, Lin Haidao gradually calmed down.
“That’s true! It’s all my fault for being too excited. I’m really sorry!”
“You know what? The reason why the Type-10 sniper rifle was not ma.s.s-produced was mainly because the cost of research and development was too high. However, its actual lethality is not as outstanding as the 11th move.”
“The Type 11 sniper rifle is suitable for small equipment and moving crowds. Currently, it is specially used by special forces.”
“But as our first large-caliber anti-materiel sniper rifle, it has extraordinary significance for our research inst.i.tute.”
“To tell you the truth, we’ve never stopped improving this gun in the laboratory. Now, the laboratory has a preliminary draft of the improvement.”
“It’s a pity that it’s only a sketch. I haven’t been able to achieve a higher breakthrough. ”
Lin Haidao said with a regretful expression.
“We’ve always hoped for a new breakthrough in the improvement of the Type 10 sniper rifle so that we can ma.s.s produce it and apply it to more combat environments.”
“Do you know what it means to increase the strength of the Type 10 sniper rifle by 5%?”
‘What?” Qin Yuan asked curiously.
“This is simply too shocking!”
“If your improvement results pa.s.s the expert’s test, they will be so angry that they will vomit blood on the spot!”
After Qin Yuan heard this, he said indifferently, “The 5% I said earlier is just the foundation. It’s mainly because the materials that the research lab in the base can get are very limited.”
“If the materials are sufficient and there’s no shortage, this gun can be optimized by at least 15%, and the cost will be 30% lower than before.”
At the side, Lin Haidao was already completely dumbfounded. At this moment, his eyes were filled with shock.
Not only could the performance be improved so much, but the cost could be reduced by another 30%!
This was something that many experts would not even dare to dream of.
“Director Lin, I’m not joking! I’m just telling the truth. There’s no need to be so shocked.” Qin Yuan looked at Lin Haidao.
“No, no, no, it’s not that I don’t believe you. It’s just that this is too shocking!” Lin Haidao hurriedly explained.
They took some time to reach and Qin Yuan was idle for a while, so he discussed the principle of modification with Lin Haidao.
Lin Haidao was the best in this area, but he did not understand many of the principles Qin Yuan had explained.
Even so, he was certain that Qin Yuan definitely had extraordinary talent and attainments in this area.
This young man who was only in his twenties had too much energy in his body. Lin Haidao wished he could immediately bring out all of Qin Yuan’s talents.
If Qin Yuan was willing to concentrate on developing in this area, he would sooner or later become a powerful figure in China’s military industry.
After more than ten hours of b.u.mpy journey, they finally arrived at a train station.
“The laboratory is actually hidden in the mountains? This is unbelievable.” Qin Yuan said in surprise.
If the army was in a remote mountainous area, it would still make sense, but…A research and development center specializing in weapons was actually built in the deep mountains and forests.
It was really puzzling.
Lin Haidao pretended to smile mysteriously and did not explain to Qin Yuan’s curiosity.
After another hour of driving, a large group of buildings slowly appeared in Qin Yuan’s field of vision.
Qin Yuan was deeply attracted by the unique building in front of him. He could not help but lean closer to the car window to take a closer look. He could not help but sigh in his heart, “So this is the military factory!”
“That’s right. This is one of the branches of the North China Group.”
“The laboratory is right here.” Lin Haidao said with a smile. It was inside. “The reason why we chose this place is actually more for safety reasons.” Qin Yuan could feel the very strict security of the military factory.
Lin Haidao showed his ID, and after a long inspection, they drove in.
The interior of the military factory base was very empty. It took more than ten minutes to drive to the research inst.i.tute.
In the end, Qin Yuan followed Lin Haidao to the back of the mountain. There was a small factory here, but the door plate said that it was a logistics warehouse.
However, the entrance of a small logistics warehouse was heavily guarded. Qin Yuan knew that it was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
Just by looking at the number of guards at the door, it was obvious that there were twice as many as the ones at the door just now.
‘Qin Yuan, this is actually the first laboratory we’re going to. The so-called logistics warehouse is just to hide it from the public.”
Lin Haidao said.
“There are more than a hundred security personnel here, and each of them is equipped with real guns and bullets. There are more than 30 light weapons research experts, and some academicians from the North China Group and our country are among them!”
“The talents inside are all favored by the heavens, so the security here is especially strict. Even the factory manager can’t enter easily!”
“If anyone barges in without permission, no matter who it is, the security personnel have the right to shoot them directly.”
Qin Yuan could not help but feel a chill down his spine. He did not expect there to be such a heavily guarded place.
After all, the laboratory was full of top-level secrets, especially the scientific research experts inside. They were national treasures.
If a country had a mature team of scientists, then what military progress could the country make?
Qin Yuan habitually used his radar skill to scan the entire research room. It was as Lin Haidao had said.
After entering, they stopped outside a gray building.
There were five people standing outside the building. As soon as Qin Yuan and his wife got out of the car, they came up to them. “Director Li, this is Comrade Qin Yuan.” Lin Hai Dao immediately introduced.
“Qin Yuan, this is Li Rong, Director Li.”
“He’s the person in charge of the First Light Weapons Laboratory. This time,
Director Li strongly requested me to invite you over.”
“h.e.l.lo, Director Li!”
Qin Yuan first saluted and greeted him, then respectfully extended his right hand.
Seeing this, Li Rong politely shook hands with Qin Yuan to welcome him.
This research inst.i.tute had gathered so many top talents, silently contributing to the national defense cause in this isolated mountain area.
Although they were not as vigorous as the special forces on the battlefield, their contribution to national defense was not inferior to the special forces. In fact, they contributed even more.
As for Li Rong, he had been in this research inst.i.tute for 15 years and witnessed the development of light weapons in these 15 years.
“It’s true that heroes come from young people since ancient times. Comrade Qin Yuan is indeed a talented person. He’s already an outstanding special forces soldier at such a young age, and he’s even able to be so outstanding in the military industry.”
“It’s really not simple! Young people nowadays are really better than their masters.”
“Chief Physician Li, you flatter me! I’m just messing around in my spare time.” Qin Yuan said humbly.
“Hey. It’s too modest to say that. Your improvement results have pa.s.sed our unanimous approval. Everyone in the laboratory has been clamoring to invite you over to exchange experience.”
They chatted for a while before Li Rong and the others brought Qin Yuan around the laboratory..
