Reborn in 1976, teach him how to be an official

"Old Duan, to be honest, the idea for this grenade launcher was actually tinkered with by Hongyi. He first came up with the basic design, and I helped him perfect it. So, if we're talking about credit, he deserves more than me!"

Old Tan felt really bad.

Although he had considered everything and, in order to expedite the production of a prototype weapon and gain the attention of military brass, accepted Liu Hongyi's suggestion to take credit for the "achievement," he felt a sense of unease deep down. That's why he said this: no matter what, he couldn't take all the credit for his students' efforts.

"Amazing, amazing! A great teacher produces a great student. A great teacher produces a great student..."

Duan Weimin said excitedly.

He couldn't help but be excited.

Although this weapon was developed by Tan Dexi and his apprentice, the results were produced in their research institute. Moreover, Old Tan did not hide anything and directly showed him the design information and asked him to make samples, which meant that he had no intention of leaving the research institute behind.

Due to special circumstances, their research institute has not produced any outstanding research results in the past two or three years and can only barely maintain basic operations.

This made Lao Duan feel very uncomfortable.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have taken the initiative to apply for Project 130.

As long as this 35mm grenade launcher can be developed, it will be a great achievement.

"Old Duan, my suggestion is to go to Factory 576. We have all the necessary equipment there... Don't worry, the intellectual property rights belong to your research institute. Just add our names when the time comes."

Tan Dexi’s current idea is very clear, which is to produce samples quickly and implement them quickly.

Whether it is meritorious or not is secondary.

As Liu Hongyi said, if a local war breaks out in the short term and this weapon can catch up, how many lives can it "save"? Our army will win more easily and more confidently.

Moreover, Old Duan is indeed a capable person. Tan Dexi doesn't mind sharing the credit with him and the research institute under his leadership.

Duan Weimin laughed heartily and said, "Old classmate, what do you think of me, Duan Weimin? I'm not competing with you for the credit. I just wanted to get this weapon out as quickly as possible!"

Tan Dexi said nothing, but it was clear from the old man's expression that he didn't believe it.

It’s not that Lao Duan is personally vain.

As a deputy army-level cadre, he didn't expect to get promoted by relying on this thing.

But he has to consider the future of the entire research institute.

"Old Duan, let me be frank. After this weapon is developed, the intellectual property rights will belong to your research institute. But I do have a request."

"You say it, you say it."

Duan Weimin was sure that Tan Dexi was not joking with him, and immediately became serious.

"You have to help me send someone to the army to serve as a soldier."

"Who?"

Duan Weimin glanced at Liu Hongyi, thinking that Tan Dexi was making plans for Liu Hongyi. He also wondered in his heart why Old Tan had become stupid. Such a good seedling should be sent to university for further studies instead of becoming a soldier?

"Huang Yonghui!"

"That's the educated youth we brought back from the Qiwan Brigade."

"I'm worried that if he goes back to the Qiwan Brigade, he'll be retaliated against. It's best to send him to the army for protection."

"He?"

"Hahaha, sure, sure, no problem."

"I, Duan Weimin, will take care of this matter."

Duan Weimin is also a decisive person who does what he says.

Yuan Gang was immediately arranged to lead a team, together with Tan Dexi, Liu Hongyi and others, to Chuzhou Qingshan Machinery Factory, and strive to produce samples in the shortest time possible.

If he went to other factories to get samples, Duan Weimin had to go there in person.

He has a high rank and a great reputation.

Yuan Gang is just a regimental-level cadre and deputy director of the office, and he doesn't have enough face.

But that wasn't necessary for Factory 576. Although Old Tan had been away for two years, he still held a high reputation within the factory. Yuan Gang had a letter of introduction from the research institute, so with both parties working together, there would be absolutely no problem.

Old Duan himself took the complete set of design materials and boarded the train to Beidu.
