"Old Wen, do you mean we should just choose Academician Chen's star student?"

A middle-aged man who always seemed to be smiling said.

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant!" President Wen hurriedly shook his head: "Although I believe in the abilities of these four experts, the final result still depends on the technology!"

"Then I understand!"

The smiling, middle-aged man chuckled: "It seems that being a judge this time really doesn't require much flattery!"

"Old He, you're joking!" Director Wen chuckled in return. "None of us here are capable of flattering you, Director He!"

The Director He that Premier Wen mentioned is another director of the weapons manufacturing bureau whom he specially invited this time.

The remaining two are roughly equivalent in status to Director He; both are prominent figures in the weapons manufacturing industry.

"What's the situation with this Tang Ming?" Before Director He could speak, another thin middle-aged man suddenly spoke up.

"Old Li, I bet the first person you'll ask about here is him!" President Wen couldn't help but give a wry smile: "But all of Tang Ming's performance is already in the files, I haven't hidden anything!"

"This...this shouldn't be the case!"

The man whom Premier Wen referred to as Old Li shook his head: "This phenomenon is simply too bizarre!"

"Old Li, what's going on? Do you know this Tang Ming?"

Hearing the conversation between General Manager Wen and Old Li, Director He suddenly became curious about Tang Ming.

"nothing!"

Premier Wen and Li Keqiang said those three words almost in unison.

Not only Director He, but also the obese middle-aged man with a ruddy face next to him had a strange look in his eyes.

Someone who can pique the interest of both Premier Wen and Director He cannot possibly be an ordinary person.

The obese middle-aged man, surnamed Xu, was the captain of the security brigade of the neighboring province. He was curious about the handgun modification task that Premier Wen had been assigned, so he took the initiative to contact Premier Wen and come over to find out more.

If these experts can provide a good solution, Mr. Xu wouldn't mind replacing the pistols in his own security team as well.

"This guy named Tang Ming only spent a day making and improving the pistol, Mr. Wen, aren't you just messing things up?"

Director He had obviously seen Tang Ming's materials as well, and even frowned deeply after reading them.

"Is this guy trying to deliberately perform poorly so he can escape this mission to improve the pistol?"

"will not!"

It wasn't Premier Wen who answered Director He, but Old Li.

"Old Li, why is that? You came from headquarters, so you must have some information that we don't. Just tell us directly!"

Nevertheless, Old Li shook his head: "Really, it's nothing. I don't know this Tang Ming at all!"

Hearing Old Li so confidently claim that he didn't know Tang Ming, President Wen couldn't help but snort inwardly!

This old guy is clearly trying to take advantage of the situation, and he's probably up to some unrealistic schemes!

Just then, after listening to his subordinates' report, General Wen waved his hand and said, "Let's go to the weapons testing range together!"

"The four experts have been waiting for us there for a long time!"

When Premier Wen and the other three arrived at the weapons testing site, they found the situation to be rather delicate.

The first voice the group heard was Tang Ming's: "Just like mobile phones in the last 5 years, those chip companies could have designed and produced more revolutionary products, but they just improved by a tiny bit every year!"

"Are we going to improve handguns by releasing incremental upgrades like those mobile phone manufacturers do every day?"

"What do you mean by 'squeezing toothpaste'?" Liu Ying couldn't stand Tang Ming's words any longer: "Even if we're squeezing toothpaste, it's still better than you not even opening the toothpaste box, right?"

"How do you know I haven't even opened the toothpaste box?" Tang Ming asked with a smile, holding up the secure box in his hand: "My toothpaste is perfectly fine inside the secure box right now!"

"Tang Ming, you're really good at bragging!" Liu Ying couldn't help but sneer as soon as she heard Tang Ming's voice: "You're not going to tell me that you manufactured the modified pistol in just one day, are you?"

Just as Tang Ming was about to retort in a subtle way, President Wen's voice came over: "Alright, you are all experts. Experts should let their work speak for itself. What do you think?"

"no problem!"

The four people, including Tang Ming, nodded in unison!

The weather was nice today, so Premier Wen decided to hold the pistol test at an open-air firing range.

The weather has been sunny for several days in a row, and the visibility and various environmental indices at the firing range are ideal, making it perfect for weapons testing.

After the staff at the open-air firing range set up the site, Tang Ming and the other three, led by General Wen, entered the firing range together.

"These experts seem to have done a good job of keeping things secret!" Premier Wen joked, looking at Tang Ming and the other three. "Even now, I don't know how well your guns are doing!"

"Mr. Wen is joking. Isn't this exactly the effect you wanted to achieve?" Wang Shengli, though old, was still vigorous and didn't mind joking with Mr. Wen.

"These experts seem very confident!" President Wen's gaze inadvertently swept over the confidential boxes in the hands of the four people: "I am also looking forward to the works of the four experts, but before that, I would like to introduce the judges to you!"

Tang Ming and the other three then turned their attention to the three people standing next to President Wen.

"The man to my left is named He Dahai. He is the director of the Ordnance Bureau. You can just call him Director He!"

"The first person on your right is an engineer from headquarters. His name is Li Jiajing. I usually call him Lao Li, but you can call him Engineer Li!"

"The second person to my right is the chief of the security brigade of the neighboring province. You can call him Chief Xu!"

After exchanging pleasantries, they could barely be considered to know each other.

Tang Ming could clearly see that Director He, Engineer Li, and General Manager Xu each had different personalities.

Director He and General Manager Xu must have come with a purpose, while Engineer Li seems to be just there as a guest, purely an observer.

"Alright, now that everyone has met and gotten to know each other!" President Wen clapped his hands. "A month has passed, and our pistol research and development and modification project has reached the acceptance stage!"

"Today I invited Director He, Engineer Li, and Chief Captain Xu to serve as judges for our weapons test, in order to ensure a fair and just environment!"

"I won't say anything more. I hope all four of our experts can present their best work!"

As soon as Premier Wen finished speaking, the atmosphere at the open-air firing range instantly became tense.

Of the four experts present, apart from Tang Ming, they all seemed calm and collected in their daily lives, but when it came to weapons testing, they couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

This is perfectly normal!

Moreover, the first one to appear often attracts all the attention, but also faces greater pressure.

Among the four, Tang Ming was probably under the least pressure. He was the first to appear and should have had the least pressure, but he just wanted to make up the numbers and have some fun, and didn't want to stand out.

Premier Wen kept giving his student Liu Ying meaningful glances, but Liu Ying seemed not to notice his gaze and did not react at all.

Upon seeing this, President Wen couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

This student has indeed grown a lot since leaving him, but he has also lost some of his drive.

Seeing that no one was speaking, Wang Shengli, who had been smiling the whole time, stepped forward: "In that case, let this old man do it!"

"Alright, since Elder Wang has volunteered, then let Elder Wang go first!" A hint of dissatisfaction with Liu Ying flashed in President Wen's eyes.

However, Liu Ying also overlooked this look!

Just then, a soldier in charge of safety testing jogged over: "Reporting, sir, the range safety testing is complete, and the equipment is functioning normally. Please give instructions!"

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, you can leave now!" President Wen casually dismissed them, but did not immediately order the testing to begin.

"Let me say a few words before the test begins!" President Wen's usually mysterious demeanor turned serious.

"These individuals are all experts in weapons development and are valuable talents for our country. Therefore, regardless of the test results, all expenses for this test will be reimbursed by our Weapons Research Institute."

This means that even if Tang Ming and his team produce something worthless, the Weapons Research Institute will not hold them accountable.

"Similarly, if the pistol developed by the four experts meets the requirements of our project, they will also receive generous material and spiritual rewards from the state!"

Premier Wen should have explained these points before the weapons development project began.

However, it's not too late to say it now.

"Now, let's have Wang Yue begin!"

Without any hesitation, Wang Shengli opened his safe under everyone's watchful eyes, and a silver pistol appeared before them.

"To be honest, before this, I was working on rifle development projects!" Wang Shengli's tone was full of regret.

"But over the years, what I've really wanted to make is a handgun. For the past 10 years, I've been thinking about it day and night, trying to design a handgun that completely surpasses its predecessors!"

"And today, the work I've been pondering has finally come to fruition. It is this pistol in my hand right now, and I've named it Greedy Wolf!"

Upon hearing this name, everyone else was stunned, and Tang Ming's face showed a look of astonishment!

His codename in the Wolf Fang Special Forces was Greedy Wolf.

This is one of the Twenty-Eight Mansions in ancient Chinese astrology, referring to the Seven Killings and the Greedy Wolf.

These three constellations have always been symbols of slaughter in ancient China.

Wang Shengli named his pistol "Greedy Wolf," which reveals his ambition!

From the outside, this pistol looks like a smaller version of the Desert Eagle, with a silvery-white sheen and an extremely exquisite appearance!

"The Greedy Wolf pistol weighs 510 grams unloaded and has a magazine capacity of 8 rounds. Although it is small, I used 9mm caliber bullets, so its lethality is quite considerable at short to medium range!"

Everyone on the field was somewhat surprised by this!

I never expected that such a small pistol would use 9mm bullets.

"She has the heart of a tough guy beneath her delicate appearance!"

"Old Wang's ambition is as strong as ever!"

Director He and Lao Li offered their comments, while Chief Captain Xu suddenly said, "I don't know about other aspects of this gun, but our female comrades will definitely like it!"

That's absolutely true.

Small, exquisite, and beautiful, as long as its performance is acceptable, I doubt any woman could resist this gun.

It seems that Wang Shengli's description of this gun as "ten years in the making" is indeed not an exaggeration.

The breakthroughs in gun design and the pursuit of aesthetics have reached a certain extreme.

However, whether he can meet the requirements of this initial research and development and modification project remains to be seen, and the results will only be known after actual weapons testing.

No matter what, a weapon is still a weapon; it must have lethality and accuracy.

Wang Shengli then skillfully loaded the magazine, chambered the bullet, disengaged the safety, and prepared to fire.
