With Zhu Lingjing's approval, Xu Shangdan, who was found here, also agreed. The good start of the nuclear program met Zhou Changfeng's best expectations.
The officials of the imperial court are not stupid. Once the theoretical demonstration is successful, massive resources will be poured into the nuclear program. Under the most ideal and optimistic situation, in just three years, the black and red mushroom cloud will appear in the Western Regions. Rising above the Gobi Desert.
Zhou Changfeng, who was in a good mood, left Imperial Gezhi University and went to the Ministry of War for a routine report on his work.
There is not much process for debriefing, which is to submit the report, and then someone will review it and then ask questions and respond accordingly.
But because it involves the extraordinary special operations unit of the Yiluan Division, the questions this time are much more comprehensive, unlike sometimes when they are just perfunctory and casual.
"...In general, the results of this operation are extraordinary. After all, a simple air strike cannot ensure the death of the enemy chief." The major put away the document while signing and sealing it, and then asked casually: "Sir, do you have anything else?" What’s your personal opinion?”
"Simply put, don't underestimate or despise special operations, but don't overestimate or mythologize them either."
"That's true. A dagger can't beat a long knife head-on, but as long as the opportunity and usage are right, the dagger can also kill the opponent neatly. Okay, walk slowly."
After finishing his official duties, Zhou Changfeng went straight to the Xia family.
Because it happened to be the time when school was over, Xia Xiaoshi had just arrived home.
Reuniting with his wife, who had been separated for more than a month, made his already happy mood suddenly rise to a peak.
The two hugged each other face to face for a while, until Zhou Changfeng noticed Gao Lingling's figure from the corner of his eye, and then they hurriedly separated.
Ahem, embarrassing, my mother-in-law saw it!
There is no big fish or meat in the dinner, and the sumptuousness is not as good as any banquet, but the comfort and leisure in daily life are something you cannot experience when you are traveling outside.
"...After this incident, it is not difficult to see that the current state of the DPRK is too slow and dull."
"Indeed, it's normal for most people not to take the initiative, but a few people in charge of authority don't act, which is very fatal. Fortunately, someone finally stood up."
"I asked about that person a few days ago." Xia Bing said while pouring wine: "Intuitively... I can't guarantee it. He... doesn't seem to be voluntary. He probably got a promise."
Zhou Changfeng said nonchalantly: "This is not important. The main reason is that the current state of the DPRK and China is difficult not to make people anxious. Everyone is self-interested, and the response to major changes will definitely be slow."
"Kuo Bao protects his wealth and protects himself wisely. Naturally, he can't openly admit his omissions and remedy the shortcomings of the times."
"This experience is very useful. There are still opportunities to deal with and make up for the problems exposed. I hope that the dignitaries who are used to living a life of luxury and extravagance can wake up a little bit."
Xia Bing, who had sharp eyes, said leisurely: "Actually, His Majesty himself can control all this to a considerable extent, but he is not young and is in poor health."
"It seems true that there is a feeling of sluggishness in the court. It would be nice if there was someone who could stir things up and stir things up."
While the two were chatting, Gao Linglu and Xia Xiaoshi, mother and daughter, were eating silently aside. After a long time, the sky outside the window became darker and darker.
It wouldn't be right to stay any longer. Even if Xia Xiaoshi wanted to stay, Gao Lingling would definitely not agree to it - how could she stay with her parents' family after her husband returned home?
Although she lives in her parents' house these days, Xia Xiaoshi will go back every now and then, mainly to clean the inside and outside of the house.
I've had dinner, and when I get home, there's no more trivial things to worry about, so...
It’s normal and reasonable to feel full and warm.
But Xia Xiaoshi said in a low voice: "Sir, the time is not right. Today... we haven't gone away yet."
Aha? hateful! What a disappointment!
Zhou Changfeng covered his face and said helplessly: "Yes, we have encountered a roadblock."
The scene was very embarrassing for a time.
The two were speechless for a few seconds, and Xia Xiaoshi, who looked shy, said softly and coyly: "Then...then how about...I try..."
Surprised, Zhou Changfeng was overjoyed.
Bar chirp - bar chirp - bar chirp -
The beauty of it is extraordinary and truly nourishing. It can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words.
The next day, early in the morning, Zhou Changfeng, who was in a daze, was awakened by the sound of Xia Xiaoshi getting up next to him.
He opened his eyes and saw her quietly lifting the quilt and getting out of bed, so he said, "What time is it now? Are you going to school?"
"It's already half past midnight. Why don't you take a nap?"
"No need, it's usually around this point, I'm used to it."
No matter how rough it is, women will still be slower than men when it comes to dressing and washing.
After Zhou Changfeng had finished washing, Xia Xiaoshi in the living room would put on her clothes.
Later, when she went to the east wing to make breakfast, Zhou Changfeng, who had nothing to do, opened the mailbox at the door of his house and took out a large pile of letters.
He looked through them from top to bottom, but none of them seemed important. Only the paper telegrams from Li Shuye and Hengguang Company attracted his attention.
During this period, Cao Shaoxun and Wang Lai from Hengguang Company have completed the design of a new submachine gun in accordance with the technical indicators proposed by Zhou.
After preliminary testing, the prototype gun underwent two further modifications, but they were only minor adjustments, thus obtaining the "Prototype Modification 2".
It can be seen from the wording of the letter that Hengguang Company is very entangled and contradictory regarding the evaluation performance of this type of submachine gun.
On the one hand, the test results are indeed good. This is a fact and not made up; on the other hand, people are restrained by long-term inertial thinking and subjectively have no confidence in it.
Gee, it looks like a pedantic and old-fashioned person when faced with new things.
Hengguang Company mailed two "prototype modified 2" units to the 1st Marine Regiment's station in Jiangxinzhou for Zhou Changfeng's personal review and review.
If we count the days, it should arrive in the next two days.
In the east wing, General Xia Xiaoshi opened a square meat can, poured out a whole piece of meat, and then cut it into thin pieces as thick as a little finger with a knife.
This is not purely composed of fat and lean meat, but a kind of canned lunch meat, which is made from a mixture of starch and minced meat.
Historically, canned luncheon meat originated in the United States during the Great Depression. The son of a Minnesota food merchant invented this kind of canned meat made of a mixture of starch and minced meat. The main focus was low price - the depressed economy at that time made many people The poor American people can only eat potatoes to satisfy their hunger and cannot afford meat. However, luncheon meat, which is only one-third of the price of ordinary meat, is very popular.
But now there is a difference. This kind of canned meat was born in the Ming Dynasty about 20 years ago.
Because of the huge population, material supply cannot meet the needs of the people. For ordinary people, it is a very happy thing to have enough money to eat meat every now and then. Eating meat openly has been very prestigious since ancient times.
For this reason, food company businessmen who sensed business opportunities came up with such cheap canned meat in order to expand the lower-level market. The target consumers were ordinary people. In the end, it was logical that it was welcomed by the cash-strapped general public.
Frying, frying, stuffing, stir-frying, steaming... using various cooking methods to make different dishes from this thing has almost become a must-have skill for a generation of Ming women.
Now, after more than ten years of economic development, material supplies have become more abundant and living standards have risen. Canned luncheon meat, which was originally popular among the urban class, has naturally begun to decline.
Xia Xiaoshi purchased this mainly because she thought it was convenient for frying and she occasionally changed the taste. As long as she didn't eat it every day, it actually tasted pretty good.
Heat oil in a pot, spread out a dozen thin pieces of meat, and the sound of sizzling under the high temperature fills the kitchen.
Later, I boil a pot of water, add a handful of noodles, beat two eggs, sprinkle some chopped green onions, and a mediocre breakfast is completed.
From the perspective of future nutrition, eating such a high-carbohydrate diet early in the morning, and it is also fried, can be said to be very unhealthy, but in this era, there seems to be no need to consider whether it is healthy or not?
"We can't make it in time. I'm leaving first."
"Don't worry, be safe."
After finishing her share of noodles, Xia Xiaoshi hurriedly picked up her bag and set off.
After watching her close the door and leave, Zhou Changfeng continued to eat leisurely and then went out.
Full of expectations for the submachine gun sample, he drove straight to the Jiangpan Pier, preparing to take a boat to Jiangxinzhou.
By chance, the postal worker responsible for delivering the goods was negotiating with the guards at the dock while pushing a tricycle.
"Why is there a gun in this portion?"
"I didn't know, my job is just to deliver goods."
"That's strange. Why are you sending a gun to us? Let's see who sent it."
After lightly applying the brakes, releasing the clutch, and shifting into neutral, Zhou Changfeng drove the off-road vehicle to a steady stop in the parking lot of the pier, and then came to the access checkpoint.
Several guards here immediately saluted with their guns raised.
As expected, the package that had been circulating for several days before being delivered here was sent by Hengguang Company.
Full of interest, Zhou Changfeng couldn't wait to take out the parts of one of the submachine guns while the ferry was still sailing.
Since this gun is in an incompletely disassembled state, the main parts can be counted with two hands. A submachine gun with a free bolt action is inherently simple, and even the firing pin is fixed and integrated with the bolt action.
The entire gun is relatively square and is divided into upper and lower receivers. The cross-section is rectangular and is stamped from a thin steel plate. The front transverse hinge is used as an axis and can be opened and closed up and down.
The magazine well is located relatively far back, and there is a small grip in front; the butt is made of wood, which is still not "simple" enough, and can be replaced with steel.
The gun body with upper and lower shells is quite thin, just like a tin toy, and it doesn't have the solid, heavy and delicate feeling of the milled receiver at all.
Seeing this, several officers and non-commissioned officers who were watching curiously showed expressions of doubt and contempt - what kind of crude thing is this?
"Did you buy an airsoft toy?" a second lieutenant asked in surprise.
"It doesn't look like it. I think it's a homemade gun made by the people. I saw a lot of it when I was a kid." Another sergeant said.
Zhou Changfeng smiled and said while fiddling with it: "On the contrary, let alone the private sector, not even workshops or small factories can make this gun."
Qualified large-volume stamping manufacturing is not something that small factories can do. They are only suitable for using milling technology honestly.
In fact, the workmanship of this submachine gun is quite good in Zhou Changfeng's opinion. The corners have been carefully polished and the surface has been blued.
If you take out a Sten MkII, everyone will be shocked by its simplicity and roughness.
Zhou Changfeng, who entered the military camp carrying a "toy gun", became the focus of attention. Everyone was confused. What happened to the leader today?
He casually called a few officers, soldiers and civilian ordnance officers, and the group came to the shooting range with a box full of 9.6 mm pistol ammunition.
The 9.6×20mm pistol cartridge used in the Ming Dynasty and in various countries under the vassal system today was designed and finalized in the 17th year of Zhichang. It is a unique pistol cartridge.
Its caliber is 30 centimeters, bottle-shaped, without bottom rim, Bodin-type primer, total bullet mass 12.9g, warhead mass 7.7g, average chamber pressure 220MPa, bullet casing mainly made of galvanized steel, painted steel, brass texture Not much.
When fired on a pistol, its muzzle velocity is already 395m/s, and the muzzle kinetic energy is as high as 600J; when fired on a submachine gun with a longer barrel, it increases to 720J, making it one of the most powerful military pistol bullets in the world. One, it can be said that it is only for macho men.
In comparison, when Americans' beloved .45ACP pistol bullet is fired from the M1A1 Thompson submachine gun, the muzzle velocity is only 282m/s and the muzzle kinetic energy is 570J.
The Type 17 pistol ammunition with straight trajectory and powerful power can be said to be a perfect submachine gun ammunition. The disadvantage is that it is too powerful when used in pistols. The muzzle jump is serious. Beginners are likely to lose the muzzle as soon as they fire. He jumped up to the sky.
"Wow--"
Five boxes of silver zinc-plated bullets were poured on the table, and several people began to click and load bullets into the magazines.
Although the double-row, double-feed magazine has a higher failure rate, it will be much easier to load bullets. The double-row, single-feed magazine will be very difficult to load after most of it is pressed. The last few bullets require a lot of effort. Press in.
The tall and thin armorer held it in for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask: "May I ask, sir, where did this gun come from? Why is it so... crude?"
"A private gun factory designed it according to my suggestion. It's a little rough, but the performance should be fine." Zhou Changfeng inserted a magazine into the magazine well, then pulled the bolt to load the gun, and turned off the safety .
There is no speed switch, only two modes: safety and fully automatic shooting, which saves several parts.
"Ta-ta! Ta-ta!"
"Ta-ta-ta-"
Zhou Changfeng, who looked as usual, held his gun and shot at the human-shaped target fifty meters away. The feel of the gun was surprisingly good.
In other words, his expectations were relatively low at first, but the actual performance of the gun was actually not bad, so it was unexpected.
In order to "suppress" the powerful 9.6mm pistol bullet, the gun has a relatively large bolt mass and a relatively hard recoil spring, which makes its rate of fire just right - the theoretical rate of fire is about 700 rounds per minute.
When strafing, it is not as slow as Sten (550RPM) and MP40 (500RPM), which can ensure good firepower.
When burst firing, it is not as fast as Bobosha (900RPM). Three or four bullets will fly out as soon as the trigger is pulled, making it easier to control.
"Ta-ta-ta-ta-"
After the test firing, the ordnance officer showed an "outrageous" look of surprise and hesitated for a few seconds before hesitantly said: "Apart from the appearance, everything else..."
"Is it that exaggerated?" Seeing his appearance, a sergeant took the gun from his hand, "Let me try! Can you compare to the third and fourth styles?"
One minute later...
If I had known earlier, I would still be on the original path!
"If I had known earlier, I would still be the original way!" This meme refers to the original way headphones with free shipping at 9.9. Because the sound quality far exceeds this price range, many headphone enthusiasts were shocked, so they ridiculed themselves that headphones worth thousands of dollars are not as good as This is 9.9 free shipping. This meme quickly became popular and is usually accompanied by a picture of a person closing his eyes and crying to describe "extremely low expectations and unexpected actual quality."
