Anti-Japanese War, weapons designer at Fengtian Arsenal

After coming out of the medical laboratory, Li Qinwu returned to the Julong Steel Plant. As soon as he got off the car, he was blocked by Lao Huotou who was smoking at the door.

"Hey Master, what are you doing? You're waiting for me here."

The old fireman held a pipe in his mouth and took a puff from time to time. He lit Li Qinwu and said angrily: "You are so carefree, going out to play every day and leaving such a big factory to me, an old man!"

Li Qinwu hurriedly apologized with a smile. Indeed, their factory had so many bullet production lines, all of which were managed by old firemen.

Although he has a lot of capable people under him, this old man is very serious about his work. He does everything by himself and often guides workers on the production line. He has trained more than 10 level 6 workers.

Li Qinwu asked doubtfully: "Master, what are you waiting for me for?"

The old man said unhappily, "Can't I find you if there's nothing wrong?"

He took out a stack of blueprints and patted them on Li Qinwu's chest. Li Qinwu picked up the blueprints in confusion and looked at them. He was happy. This was designed by Lao Huotou. It was a fully automatic machine specially designed to remove the warhead, propellant and primer of 50 bullets.

Such a machine is as efficient as 100 workers! As long as it can be mass-produced, the Desert Eagle bullets piled up in several warehouses can be digested!

"Oh my, Master! I didn't expect you to create such a great treasure without making any noise! ​​Master, you have worked so hard!"

Li Qinwu smiled so hard that his teeth were showing, and went up to rub the old man's shoulders and back.

The old man snorted coldly, but his face showed an expression of enjoyment. After a while, he looked at Li Qinwu and said seriously: "Boy, you are 25 this year, right? Why don't you get married and have children?"

When talking about this, Li Qinwu's smile disappeared and then he looked bitter.

In this war-torn era, he really had never thought about getting married and having children, mainly because he had too many secrets, and getting married and having children would not be conducive to protecting these secrets.

In addition, his power has grown so large, and he has so many enemies involved. If he has a family, wouldn't that be a weakness? So he has never paid much attention to getting married and having children.

When the old man saw Li Qinwu's hesitation, he became furious.

"Look at how pathetic you are. It's just a marriage, but you treat it like it's going to cost you your life!

Okay, I'll help you with this matter, then you just wait patiently for the wedding, let's go!"

The old man left after he finished speaking. Li Qinwu thought this was an arranged marriage and hurriedly wanted to stop him.

But the old man disappeared in the blink of an eye. Li Qinwu could only smile bitterly and hope that the marriage partner introduced to him by the old man would not be too ugly.

The urging for marriage was just a small episode. After a night’s rest, Li Qinwu went to work as usual the next day.

He came to the shooting range and found Hu Xiaoming who was doing bullet research, wanting to see his latest research results.

When Hu Xiaoming saw Li Qinwu coming, he knew that he was here to inspect the work, so he immediately took him to the shooting range and grabbed a handful of bullets and placed them in front of him.

"Director Li, didn't you ask me to make sniper bullets before? I have! The 8.6x70mm has the best ballistic data. I think we can use this one!"

Li Qinwu took the bullet and played with it in his hand. This bullet was used in my country's QBU202 high-precision sniper rifle in later generations. It has an effective range of up to 1300 meters and is a high-precision sniper rifle with advanced world standards.

The 8.6x70mm bullet is an intermediate caliber between the 7.62mm bullet and the 12.7mm bullet, and has a good combination of power and range.

Of course, there are definitely better bullets than this one, but the bullet that can be equipped by the Eastern superpower must be a bucket-shaped bullet, which is very well balanced in all aspects.

Which country can't make a bullet that's super good? But the problem is that bullets are consumables, and if they are to be equipped on a large scale, a balance must be struck between cost and combat effectiveness.

Anyone can spend tens of thousands of dollars to produce an ultra-high precision sniper bullet, but it is not cost-effective, so the bucket-shaped bullet is the most suitable for large-scale deployment.

However, for sniper bullets, it is not possible to achieve the same accuracy as later bullets by simply imitating the caliber. The differences in propellant and bullet craftsmanship still have an impact on the accuracy.

Li Qinwu thought that the era of the Desert Eagle with unlimited bullets would not come until after 2000. Over the past 70 years, the bullet and propellant technology has been accumulated for countless generations and is countless times more advanced than it is now. It is qualified to be used as propellant for sniper bullets.

As for the bullet processing technology, Li Qinwu actually knows one, the front closing technology.

The bullet warhead structure can be roughly divided into two parts, the beryllium copper on the outside and the steel core on the inside.

Generally speaking, the outer copper skin is processed first, then the steel core is inserted into the copper skin from the rear, and finally the tail is closed, and a beryllium copper bullet is made.

This bullet processing technology has drawbacks. The copper shell and steel core are not tightly wrapped at the rear, and there is an error in the mass distribution, so the bullet will deviate when shooting at a long distance.

This deviation is not obvious in shooting scenarios at a distance of about 300 to 500 meters, but it becomes very obvious when the shooting distance is extended to 700 meters or even more than 1000 meters.

As a result, the bullet front closing process appeared, in which the copper is wrapped from the back to the front. The bullet head processed by the front closing process has a more even weight distribution, and it is also the mainstream process used by high-precision sniper rifles in various countries.

As for the cost, it requires high-precision processing equipment, which is very expensive. In later generations, an ordinary rifle bullet costs about one dollar, but a high-precision sniper bullet costs 50 or even hundreds of dollars.

However, Li Qinwu said that there was no problem. It was just a high-precision processing equipment. It would be fine if No. 0 could make a few of them.

Li Qinwu was very satisfied with Hu Xiaoming's work. He patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Very good, Xiaoming! You got the sniper bullet out so quickly. I'll have the logistics department give you a bonus of 5000 yuan later!"

Hu Xiaoming scratched his head shyly.

"Hey Director Li, I also relied on the data you provided to verify this. There is no reason for me to take this bonus!"

"Hey! Just take it if I tell you to. These days, our country has few technical talents, but we can find many people who are engaged in ballistics research. Your contribution is well deserved!

Don't worry, I still have a lot of work for you to do. As long as you do your research well, the factory will not treat you unfairly!"

Li Qinwu hopes to train Hu Xiaoming into a ballistics expert, so that the knowledge can be passed on from the clones, and when they leave one day, this knowledge can still benefit the people.

Hu Xiaoming was somewhat touched. He knew that all the achievements he had made now were due to Li Qinwu. He looked at Li Qinwu with eyes full of gratitude.

He wanted to do something to repay Li Qinwu's attention, so he immediately took Li Qinwu to another test site, pointed at the warhead on the launch pad and said, "Director Li, look, the column propellant you asked me to make before is ready."
