"Principal Tai was always so straightforward. He insisted that I give you a promotion and a raise."

"Hey, I'm a soldier, and I like this kind of straightforward personality."

"Old Qi, this intellectual, likes to beat around the bush... But he genuinely cares about you, just as much as Old Tai."

Qi Sen is the president of Qinghua University and a senior official at the vice-provincial and military level. It is indeed very rare that he would make a special call to Duan Weimin for a student.

The two previous and current principals had nothing to say about Liu Hongyi.

Liu Hongyi hurriedly bowed as a greeting.

"Hongyi, you graduated from one of our three universities, and even now you're still a regular cadre. Qinghua University values ​​you so much, so there's no reason for me, Duan Weimin, not to care about you, don't you agree?"

"Don't worry, this matter is no problem."

"If Qinghua University can give you the title of associate researcher, then our three institutions can definitely do the same."

Duan Weimin took on too much responsibility.

He does have this qualification.

Liu Hongyi bowed again in thanks, then pulled out a stack of documents from his backpack and said to Duan Weimin, "Director, I came up with a new design when I was free at school some time ago. Could you take a look at it..."

"Oh, a new design? Okay, let me see..."

Duan Weimin was greatly encouraged and quickly took it.

"Shotgun?"

After taking a quick glance, Duan Weimin said in surprise.

"Yes, Director."

"This is a military shotgun specifically designed for the military. Of course, with different ammunition, it can also be used by the police."

"Well, tell me, your original intention in designing this gun was..."

Duan Weimin asked as he looked at the design drawings.

The shotgun is a very old type of gun.

It focuses on close-range area destruction, with characteristics such as large killing area, fierce firepower, and high hit rate. It is particularly suitable for close combat, street fighting, and encounters in narrow spaces.

At close range, it can exert a much greater firepower advantage than ordinary rifles and submachine guns.

Despite the continuous development of weapons and equipment, this ancient weapon is still maintained by the armies of many countries, especially the United States across the ocean, where shotguns have always been kept in their army.

However, as the founding country of shotguns, my country has long been blank in the field of military shotguns.

After the founding of New China, many types of civilian shotguns were developed and produced, but military shotguns were never involved.

Liu Hongyi said, "This idea actually came about when we went to the frontline a few months ago and communicated with the frontline commanders and fighters. The battlefield on the southern front is mainly jungle and mountain combat. There are many encounters, and if you are not careful, the Anlang people will appear next to you."

"At this time, we have few automatic firearms capable of continuous firing. Each squad only has three Type 56 assault rifles. In a skirmish, especially close combat, we don't have much firepower advantage."

"The Anlang people are equipped with more AK47s than we are."

"The 35mm and 40mm howitzers are not very effective at taking advantage of their firepower at distances of a few meters or more."

After the grenade explodes, the probability of killing enemy and friendly personnel at close range is the same.

"So I thought about developing a melee weapon to deal with this kind of close-range encounter. The shotgun is the most suitable choice."

A shotgun shell can launch a large number of small steel columns, and it is directed. It will not cause casualties to comrades on one's side, but it can kill a large number of enemies several meters or even tens of meters away.

The lethality of a shotgun shell at this distance is almost as great as that of a half-empty magazine of a 56 submachine gun.

Especially in complex and narrow terrain, the 56-56 rifle is very inconvenient to use and is greatly restricted. It is far less effective than a shotgun.

There is another point that Liu Hongyi has not mentioned yet.

That is the Two Mountains War that will break out in a few years, and the small-scale detachment battles that often occur on the border of Zhennan Province.
