Chapter 64: The Young Man of Demonic Talent, College Entrance Examination Scores Are No Longer Top Secret
"Comrade Xiao Wang, is this level really useless?"

Although Lu Yangui didn't know much, he was a military man after all. It was said that foreign snipers seemed to be equipped with a lot of equipment, so our own snipers must also be fully equipped.

Wang Duoyu pointed to the design drawing and said:

"Boss, if a sniper wants to be accurate, the gun must be straight when shooting. It can't be tilted to the left or right. If you want to know if the gun is straight, use a spirit level."

"Place the level on the free rail behind the scope and secure it. Adjust the gun's deflection left and right. Ensure the gun is straight. This will improve your shooting accuracy and reduce errors caused by uneven terrain."

"Of course, our snipers didn't need levels in the past; they relied on experience. But we can't always rely on experience, right? Otherwise, what would we technical people be for?"

After hearing Wang Duoyu's words, Lu Yangui smiled and applauded. Lin Dehong immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the leader was very happy, but Ye Zhongmin, Wang Jianguo and others were not so happy, especially Fang Muxiang, who was even more heartbroken.

The leader had already praised Wang Duoyu, so Fang Muxiang wouldn't have dared to raise any objections even if he had a hundred guts. However, he was still unwilling to give in. After thinking for a while, he raised an objection based on the sniper's usage scenario:

"Commander, the spirit level looks great, but I'm not unreasonable in saying it's 'flashy'. Many of our soldiers try to avoid carrying too much stuff when they go into battle. Traveling light is more suitable, especially for snipers."

"And the so-called level is actually completely unnecessary. Moreover, the sniper rifle designed by Comrade Xiao Wang, including the scope, external muzzle brake, rapid-fire ammunition carrier, bullets, etc., weighs almost six kilograms, which is definitely a heavy burden for the soldiers."

Lu Yangui nodded when he heard this. This indeed made a lot of sense. The design of a gun was not about just going for the most powerful one. It had to be considered comprehensively based on the actual situation.

Obviously, a qualified firearms designer should consider how to reduce the burden on soldiers to the greatest extent possible while ensuring shooting accuracy and firepower configuration, so that soldiers can go into battle lightly.

Wang Duoyu laughed when he heard this and said:
"Leader, if you're just an ordinary soldier, then an assault rifle is enough. You don't even need to carry a high-power scope. But if you're a sniper, carrying more tools can improve your hit rate and complete the mission. That's undoubtedly worth it. Snipers generally don't need to worry too much about mobility. They should focus more on killing the target."

"If you need to be mobile, you can actually discard the quick-load carrier, external muzzle brake, etc., and just use the sniper rifle and scope."

"As technicians, we should consider providing more convenience and assistance to soldiers. As for whether they need it and what choices they make under what circumstances, it is up to them to adapt to the situation on the battlefield. We should not restrict them and make them rigid and inflexible."

Lin Dehong, Hao Guoliang and others couldn't help but widen their eyes. It was indeed very reasonable. Even Lu Yangui nodded, his brain working at high speed, obviously thinking about what Wang Duoyu said.

Fang Muxiang applauded along with his superiors with a blank expression, cursing inwardly: "Damn it! Where did this monster come from?" He couldn't accept that such tremendous credit had been taken away from him. In the following hours, many experts offered their ideas for Wang Duoyu's sniper rifle, and Wang Duoyu addressed them one by one.

Seeing how he handled the situation with ease, Lu Yangui and others knew that Wang Duoyu was indeed a capable person, but until now, he still had not been able to solve some very practical problems, such as the problem of quartz lens preparation technology mentioned by Ye Zhongmin before.

This matter can only wait for now. Wang Duoyu has no better solution. Perhaps Lin Dehong can help.

That evening, the two leaders of the 626 Factory, Secretary Xin Hongzhang and Director Hao Guoliang, ordered the canteen to prepare a large table of food to entertain the people who had come from afar. Wang Duoyu was also invited to the main table. Ye Zhongmin and others who were unable to eat at the main table were very upset, but they did not dare to get angry.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Lu Yangui took the initiative to chat with Wang Duoyu about family matters, which surprised Lin Dehong, Xin Hongzhang, Hao Guoliang and others. It seemed that the leaders attached great importance to this young man, Wang Duoyu.

"Oh, you took the college entrance exam this year? How did you do? Did you get the acceptance letter?"

"I haven't received the admission letter yet. The college entrance examination results will be announced in two days. I should be able to receive the admission letter after the physical examination."

Wang Duoyu spoke the truth, but Lin Dehong laughed and said:

"Leader, this kid is dishonest. Do you know what he was doing when I went to Qingshan Township to pick him up? Two teachers from Peking University came, and Professor Tao from the Institute of Mathematics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences also came. They all came to invite him to study or take up a position in Beijing, but he refused them all."

When they learned that Wang Duoyu's college entrance examination score was 496, Lu Yangui and others widened their eyes. Ye Zhongmin, Wang Jianguo, Fang Muxiang and others at the next table also looked at him in surprise.

Everyone knows Wang Duoyu is very young, but unexpectedly, he took the college entrance examination and scored only four points away from a perfect score. He even had a Peking University professor actively recruit him, but he refused. What kind of evil young man is this?
Or how foolish is he? Why would he choose Harbin Institute of Technology over Peking University, a university like that? Is he out of his mind, or is he just stuck in a door?
"Aren't college entrance exam results top secret? How could they be made public?"

Xin Hongzhang raised the question, and Wang Duoyu smiled and said, "In June of this year, the Ministry of Education issued the 'Opinions on the 1978 College Enrollment Work,' which clearly stipulates: 'In order to promote democracy and eliminate malpractices such as 'backdoor dealings' and favoritism and fraud, the scores of all candidates in each subject must be announced at the same time as the list of candidates taking the physical examination is announced. The method of announcement will be notified by the county (district) admissions committee to the examination unit where the exam is held, and then relayed to the candidates individually.'"

In other words, starting this year, college entrance examination scores are no longer a secret.

However, Wang Duoyu is very clear that even if the college entrance examination results are announced, there may still be favoritism and fraud in remote areas, and it may even be worse than before.
