The unparalleled talent of the country started from Harbin Institute of Technology

Chapter 63: The leader asked me to design a sniper rifle, and you took out the blueprint on the spot. What the hell?
Northeast China, the state-owned Qinghua Tool Factory, also known as the 626 Factory.

Inside the shooting range, Wang Duoyu frowned when he heard the question from Ye Zhongmin, the optics expert.

"Director Ye, if I remember correctly, didn't our country already master the processing technology for quartz lenses twenty years ago? According to the information, it was in August 40 that the National Building Materials Research Institute successfully trial-produced my country's first transparent quartz glass tube, with a diameter of mm and a length of three meters."

"Now that twenty years have passed, our country's quartz lens processing technology should not be completely gone, right?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhongmin shook his head and explained the situation. After all, in the past few years, due to the passage of cold Siberian winds, the quartz lens processing technology has been stagnant, and the technical level is still at the stage of 1965.

Because many scientific research projects were forced to stagnate at that time. Except for scientific research projects in the defense fields such as aerospace, atomic bombs, missiles, nuclear submarines and computers, other projects were almost stagnant or even regressed.

There are not many skilled workers left who mastered the quartz lens technology back then, not to mention that the special scopes for the Type 63 automatic rifles were forced to be sealed and only used as reserve technology. It is conceivable how difficult it would be to re-establish such a production team at this time.

The other party's words made Wang Duoyu silent. After a moment of silence, he looked at Lin Dehong with a wry smile and said:
"Leader, it seems the situation is worse than I thought. In this case, I'm afraid I can't promise you anything."

"We can't get the 20 micrograms of tritium that's crucial for tritium tubes, and the quartz lens processing technology is also difficult to achieve. I'm likely to encounter many more difficulties by then. This is really messing with my mentality."

Upon hearing this, Lin Dehong couldn't help but look at the leader Lu Yangui who had been silent next to him. The latter knew that it was time for him to speak, otherwise, not only would people like Ye Zhongmin become discouraged, but even the young man Wang Duoyu would become depressed.

He smiled and said to Wang Duoyu, "He didn't help you get the application because I didn't agree. If you can convince me, then I will agree to your application. How about that?"

"Leader, how should I convince you?"

Wang Duoyu couldn't help but cheer up when he heard this. The high-power scope was very important to him, but it could also be said to be unimportant. In this day and age, many people can hold guns, but they are usually homemade guns or small-caliber guns.

If it is a large-caliber firearm, then a gun license is required. Wang Duoyu originally did not think about getting a gun license. Fortunately, Lin Dehong helped him solve this problem.

Now that he has a large-caliber assault rifle with high precision and long range, if he equips it with a high-power scope, wouldn't he be a qualified sniper?

"Simple. I heard from Xiaolin that you're an expert with firearms. Could you please design a sniper rifle with a longer range? Of course, the high-powered scope you mentioned is a must."

High-power scopes are very important for snipers because, unlike ordinary eyepieces, scopes can not only maximize the magnification of the target and shorten the visual distance, but some specially processed scopes can also help snipers aim at the mission target in bad weather conditions.

As we all know, the naked eye vision of ordinary people under normal circumstances begins to blur at about 100 meters, while this number can be magnified to about 300 meters in the eyes of specially trained snipers.

Back then on the battlefield in the peninsula, the Chinese sniper, who was called Ghost by SAM's soldiers, had a naked eye vision of more than 300 meters. If this sharpshooter had been equipped with the scope that SAM's soldiers were already equipped with, he would have been even more invincible and domineering.

A scope can magnify a target person or object geometrically, and by adjusting the mirror surface through the mirror principle, a clear effect can be achieved at a distance of a kilometer. For snipers, sniper rifles are more important because they have more stringent requirements than ordinary rifles.

The main features of a sniper rifle are higher precision shooting capability, long-range shooting capability, sustained and stable firepower, and even the bullets are specially supplied rather than regular bullets.

Upon hearing this, Wang Duoyu immediately agreed, because this was not a problem at all for him.

"Hello, leader. I just brought a sniper rifle shooting diagram. Could you help me see if it meets your requirements?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present showed surprised expressions. Lu Yangui was also stunned for a moment, then took the design drawings handed over by the other party with a smile.

However, Lu Yangui was not very professional in these firearms design drawings, especially the data on them, which gave him a headache.

The drawings were given to Ye Zhongmin, Wang Jianguo and others. They were all experts in firearms. As soon as they saw the drawings, they knew that Wang Duoyu was no ordinary person. Not only were the drawings well drawn and very clear, but he also came up with many novel and ingenious designs.

"Comrade Xiao Wang, why is this muzzle brake designed to be external?"

"That's right. An external muzzle brake can reduce recoil, improve long-range sniping accuracy, and effectively minimize ballistic errors caused by recoil. It also reduces muzzle flash, reducing the likelihood of the sniper being detected after firing."

"Then what's this level for? I asked you to design a sniper rifle, so why did you design something so flashy?"

Not only Ye Zhongmin and Wang Jianguo, but also experts and engineers from the Beijing Precision Machinery Engineering Research Institute, the Metrology and Identification Institute of the Third Ministry of Machine Building Industry, and the State-owned Factory No. 296 all raised questions because they could no longer remain calm after seeing the drawings.

These are clearly the jobs of their units, but this young man, Wang Duoyu, is even more awesome than them. The sniper rifle he designed is obviously more powerful. In order to avoid being denied funding for scientific research projects, they can only find fault with him.

Especially Fang Muxiang, who started to criticize the "flashy" design of the spirit level. If someone didn't know, they would think that Wang Duoyu had dug up his family's ancestral grave. It was a bit of an overreaction.

"Since the technician says this is useless, then let's cancel it. These designs are just my personal ideas anyway, so it's okay for everyone to discuss them, right?"

Wang Duoyu said this with a harmless look on his face, looking very calm, as if this matter had nothing to do with him. However, Fang Muxiang was a little confused, because his punch with full force hit cotton, which was so depressing.
