Anti-Japanese War, weapons designer at Fengtian Arsenal

Li Qinwu didn't want to make such a complicated magazine. The more complicated something was, the less reliable it would be. He could only reduce the number of bullets in the magazine. He designed 29-25 round AK magazines, made 100 of each, and sent them to various places for testing.

Hey, in shooting games, everyone chooses large magazine accessories, but it is very difficult to get a large magazine in real life. He used to play Escape from Tarkov, and the M4 had a 100-round magazine, which had a suspension structure inside! The spring could actually hold 100 rifle bullets.

Finally, there is the PKM report. The report on this gun is much better. Both the infantry squad and vehicle-mounted machine gun versions received very high ratings, without any problems, and no suggestions for improvement were put forward.

Testers also reported that the ceramic steel barrel is extremely heat resistant, and the PKM can fire more than 700 rounds continuously before it overheats!

Nowadays, a squad machine gun needs to have its barrel replaced after firing 300 to 500 times, and it needs to be disassembled if it fires again. In addition to carrying a large amount of ammunition, a machine gun team has to carry three or four gun barrels, which are heavy and long, and are a huge burden on the team.

Now that ceramic steel barrels are used, the machine gun team only needs to carry 1 to 2 spare barrels, which can reduce some of the burden.

The infantry and vehicle-mounted PKMs all received positive reviews, except for the heavy grenadiers. The heavy armored troops hoped that Li Qinwu would add a large backpack ammunition box to their PKMs that could hold 1000 rounds of bullets at a time, and also hang an axe or machete under the barrel so that they could chop and chop while firing.

Li Qinwu almost couldn't hold back when he saw this. Damn, with the strength of the heavy grenadiers, if they hung a melee weapon on the muzzle of the gun, the barrel would be bent by them in a few hits. Li Qinwu wrote "read" on the report and ignored it because it was nonsense.

After finishing the report, he sat on the chair and lit a cigarette for himself. Just as he blew out a smoke ring, there was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

Li Jin pushed the door open and came in, smiling and saying, "Master, workers from the Xiaoyi Arsenal have come to our factory to seek refuge. There are more than 500 of them, with their families. They are all skilled workers, including more than 80 mid-level technicians and 4 senior technicians!"

"Why are there so many people here all of a sudden?"

Li Qinwu was somewhat incredulous. During this period, workers from the Xiaoyi Arsenal came to join him one after another, but the number was quite small, mostly one or two people, and at most there were only about ten people together, sparsely populated.

At the beginning, he brought those workers from Fengtian to Xiaoyi. In order to escape the tyranny of Qin, these workers had little contact with him. Later, Director Huang embezzled the workers' New Year expenses, and the workers went on strike. Director Huang mobilized the troops. These workers who moved south from Fengtian felt that the Fengtian Arsenal was not a place where they could stay for a long time and wanted to find another job.

At that time, Li Qinwu had already wanted to be independent, so he asked a group of mid-level technicians to go with him. The news leaked out, and these workers even came to force him to abdicate.

Li Qinwu also promised them that he would accept them if they could get to Chongqing by themselves, but the journey was more than a thousand kilometers, so most of the workers decided to stay after calming down.

But how come there were more than 500 workers in front of us? Something must have happened at the Xiaoyi Arsenal that made them decide to run away!

The two went downstairs and got into the car, and soon arrived at the factory gate. There were many trees planted on both sides of the road in front of the factory gate. To prevent the smoke emitted by the comprehensive coking plant, there were nearly a thousand people standing or sitting under these trees. These were workers and their families. Obviously, this was not all. With 500 workers, they had to bring at least 1000 family members south, and the rest might still be on the way.

Accepting so many people would be a big burden for other factories, but Li Qinwu doesn't care. Many of his operations have no costs, and the profit margin is astonishingly high. Let alone one or two thousand people, even if he had 2 people, it would just be a drop in the bucket. The worst that can happen is that he can catch a few more devils to work for him.

The car stopped in front of the workers. Li Qinwu got out and looked around. He found some familiar faces. They were the workers who came south with him from the Fengtian Arsenal, but he didn't recognize most of the people.

"Come and tell me about your situation."

Li Qinwu shouted, and the workers looked at each other, no one dared to come out and answer.

These people were exhausted and looked not in good mental state. Moreover, they came to work for the Julong Steel Plant, so they felt inferior. If the Julong Steel Plant did not want them, they would most likely not be able to find jobs and would starve to death. No one dared to speak because they were worried about the consequences.

Li Qinwu hurriedly comforted them, "Don't be nervous, fellow workers. The factory just wants to understand your situation before arranging your work. Who can tell us how many people there are and what kind of work you do?"

Everyone still didn't dare to reply, which made him very passive. He didn't know what these people were afraid of. Didn't they even dare to reply?

"Oh, forget it. Let's go to Niujia Village first, stay there and have a meal first."

Li Qinwu could only arrange for these people to stay first. Niujia Village had become a base camp for resettling workers. Various two-story bungalows were springing up. The population of Niujia Village exceeded 2000. It was now one of the largest villages in the vicinity of Chongqing and could be upgraded to a town.

The workers still looked at each other and stood there motionless regarding Li Qinwu's arrangements.

Li Qinwu figured it out. Something big must have happened at the Xiaoyi Arsenal, causing these people to lose trust in the factory, and also in the Julong Steel Plant. Especially now that he was wearing a suit and looked like a decent man, he looked like a die-hard comprador.

Li Qinwu could only call out the old fireman who was hiding in the bullet production line and let him negotiate with the group of workers.

The old fireman wears work clothes all year round. He just came down from the bullet production line and his work clothes are still dirty, giving him the image of an old worker.

His image immediately brought the workers closer together, and many workers from the Fengtian Arsenal knew him. When the old fireman called out, the workers went to Niujia Village with him.

After the people left, Li Qinwu planned to go back and continue working on the weapon drawings and wait for Lao Huotou to come back and tell him what was going on. At this time, a black car drove up at the end of the hardened road.

The car drove to Li Qinwu and stopped. The door opened and a foreigner got out. The foreigner smiled and said to Li Qinwu, "Mr. Li, long time no see. Do you still remember the promise you made to me? Let me, a foreigner, leave my name in the history of China's automobile development. Now I am here, it's time to fulfill your promise!"

"Colin! Why are you here!"
