Please pull the trigger for this world one more time.

Meanwhile, inside the capital's military academy.

The next day, Mo Zian, holding the leave slip issued by Jiang Lude, went directly to the weapons department's laboratory.

This laboratory is not large, even smaller than the one in their own shop, but the equipment here is definitely among the best in the empire in terms of processing precision and level.

Jiang Lüde was already waiting in the laboratory, directing the staff to complete the production of parts such as the handguard and the casing, as well as all the rough blanks.

"Reporting, Warrant Officer Mo Zian reporting for duty, Director Jiang."

"Okay, let's get started now that you're here." Jiang Lu pointed to the equipment in the room. "Just let us know if there's anything we need the staff to do in cooperation with."

"yes!"

In fact, he didn't need anyone's cooperation at all. Mo Zian had been following his master for so many years and had never had the habit of letting others do his work—because he was the one doing the work.

He's just grown up now.

Moreover, he glanced at the skills of those workers and found them to be only passable, far from meeting Mo Zian's requirements.

After changing into his work gown, Mo Zian got to work—

This piston system is not entirely the same as the long-stroke piston from the previous life, so it is much more complex, and therefore the manufacturing process of the components is also more demanding.

About an hour later (2 hours), Mo Zian finished processing all the core components and also adjusted all the parts made by the other staff members.

The assembly process, following the blueprints, went very smoothly. Soon, a weapon that bore a striking resemblance to the SVT-40 from the previous life appeared on the workbench.

The most obvious difference is that this weapon has a pistol grip and the barrel is also longer.

"Stop using that old-fashioned 3.3x white light scope."

Jiang Lu opened a locked cabinet and took out a wooden box. "Use this. It has a magnification of 3-6 times. It can't compare to this in terms of light transmission or precision."

"yes!"

Once the scope is mounted on the mount, this brand-new weapon is officially complete.

Jiang Lu looked at the weapon in front of him and nodded repeatedly. Then he glanced at his pocket watch.

"Mo Zian, grab your weapons, let's head straight to the firing range. You'll be the test shooter."

"yes!"

Mo Zian first stood at attention and agreed, then said, "Reporting to Director Jiang, I think there might be someone more suitable than me to be the test shooter..."

……

At this moment, on the firing range.

The sniper team is conducting target practice.

Zhao Shengnan, who had previously been selected for the sniper team, looked at her ordinary [736-modified] rifle with disdain.

She didn't like these bolt-action weapons; she preferred semi-automatic weapons like the [Jin Ge] rifle.

The reason she was selected for the sniper team was not only because of her own shooting performance, but also because of her outstanding performance in defending Hill 21 during the previous White Ridge exercise.

The original garrison of Hill 21 also had a sniper, but she disliked the captured sniper rifle [736-modified], yet she couldn't bear to part with the scope on it—even though it was just a 3.3x fixed magnification scope.

Her father's family were clockmakers, but her mother came from an imperial military household. She had an older brother, so she didn't need to inherit the family business.

Under the influence of both parents, Zhao Shengnan not only mastered remarkable martial arts skills, but also inherited the dexterity of her paternal family.

So Zhao Shengnan took the 3.3x scope and frame and asked her squad leader, Song Chen, for some tools such as screwdrivers and tape.

They managed to graft the sights from the [736-modified] onto the [Ganqi-modified] at the last minute.

Moreover, the accuracy was actually maintained at a high level.

It has to be said that the Capital Military Academy is truly a place where hidden talents abound, and such an amazing contestant emerges from time to time.

On Hill 21, Zhao Shengnan used her temporarily modified [Gan Qi-Gai] weapon to eliminate 78 enemies with 162 bullets.

Naturally, she attracted Shen Yi's attention and importance.

She was initially quite happy to be selected for the sniper team, and she didn't mind that the instructor was a bit intimidating, but the daily "pulling the bolt" exercise was really getting on her nerves.

Just as Zhao Shengnan was complaining in her heart as usual, she suddenly saw two figures walking towards her in the setting sun.

One of them was holding a rifle that looked both familiar and unfamiliar.

……

Mo Zian accompanied Jiang Lude to the sniper team's training area. After a brief conversation with instructor Hu Yang, Hu Yang turned to look at Zhao Shengnan.

"Warrant Officer Zhao Shengnan."

"arrive!"

"After deliberation by the Weaponry Department, it has been decided that you will be the test launcher for the modified [Golden Spear] weapon. Step forward!"

"yes!"

Jiang Lu waved his hand: "Come on, let's go to the testing range."

"yes!"

On the way to the test range, Mo Zian felt someone tug at his sleeve. He turned around and saw Zhao Shengnan looking expectant.

"Old Bi, can I carry it for a while? It must be tiring for you to carry it like that."

Mo Zian shook his head.

"Oh dear, Brother Bi..."

Looking at the female soldier in front of him, whose height was not much shorter than his own, Mo Zian suddenly felt a chill—just like a hamster suddenly putting meat from its bowl into his own.

That's not how the world works.

"No, we'll talk about it at the firing range."

"Damn it, you worthless stable boy, you're so stingy!"

Yes, that's the right taste. The world is back on track.

Upon arriving at the firing range, while the officers were setting up the target positions, Jiang Lu carefully and quickly explained some of the testing rules for the new weapon to Mo Zian and Zhao Shengnan.

Immediately afterwards, Mo Zian led Zhao Shengnan to the target position, helped her adjust it, and then the test of the modified [Golden Spear] officially began.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Zhao Shengnan's shooting frequency is very high, which is completely different from the image of snipers who take a long time to aim before firing a single shot. Moreover, the targets she chooses are generally between 200-800 zhang (100-400m).

Shen Yi arrived at the testing range at some point. Standing next to Jiang Lude, he said thoughtfully, "Director Jiang, you may have modified a weapon with a completely new role."

"No, this weapon was made by Mo Zian."

Looking at Shen Yi's astonished gaze, Jiang Lüde slowly said, "I didn't offer any suggestions for improvement from design to production; I just borrowed my laboratory."

"But what do you mean by 'completely new positioning'? Isn't this a sniper rifle?"

Shen Yi shook his head, not answering directly.

He stared incredulously at Mo Zian's retreating figure, then took a deep breath and called out, "Mo Zian, come here."

"arrive."

Mo Zian put down the binoculars he was using to observe the target and came to Shen Yi. "You called me."

"Didn't you modify the [736-Modified]?" Shen Yi asked. "Why modify the [Golden Spear]?"

"Reporting to the Chief Instructor, because I believe that the [736-modified] will gradually fade out of front-line troops in the near future."

Without hesitation, Mo Zian said, "Moreover, I believe that you have already found a perfect replacement for the sniper-type [736-Modified], so I have set my sights on the [Golden Spear]."

Normally, a company would be equipped with at most 1-2 snipers, but in my vision, this improved version of the "Golden Spear" would be issued to the squad level to enhance the medium-range suppression capabilities of our infantry squads.

That's right, the concept proposed by Mo Zian has not yet been formalized into a theory in this world, and it's still a long way off.

But in his previous life, this type of combatant was usually called a "marksman".

Mo Zian thought that since he was going to take action, he might as well give the empire of this world a push. He couldn't have advanced ideas that were perfectly integrated into the local culture.

Whether his proposals will be approved or implemented is beyond his current control.

"Okay, I understand. You can continue."

"yes!"

The modified [Jin Ge] continued to complete a series of tests.

经测试后，这支改造后的武器有效射程来到了1600丈（800m）左右，在1200丈（600m）的子弹散布为72微寸左右（360mm）。

具备在600-800丈（300-400m）的距离上击穿1微寸（5mm）厚钢板的能力，且击穿后仍具备不俗杀伤力。

To be honest, this data is quite good not only for others, but even from Mo Zian's perspective, it is quite good for the world today.

Moreover, this weapon currently uses the most common standard rifle bullets. If better bullets can be developed in the future, then this data can be improved even further.

Due to the success of the test launch, Jiang Lu immediately ordered the laboratory to produce several more.

A few days later, after the laboratory produced two more modified [Jin Ge] weapons, Shen Yi did not wait for Gui Haishuo's samples to arrive and immediately arranged a live-fire exercise.
