Eagle Sauce: The 055 destroyer was launched into the sea just after the founding of the country?

After hearing Li Dingyuan's question, Liu Zhenye also reacted.

It is indeed puzzling that Fang Yu designed the caliber of this new rifle to be 5.8mm, a caliber that has never been used before.

You know, the two strongest countries in the world today are the Bear Country and the United States.

The standard weapons of these two companies use 7.62mm bullets and 5.56mm bullets respectively.

These two calibers were designed by the best weapons designers and have also been tested in a large number of actual combats.

Since he was designing a new weapon, why didn't Fang Yu consider these two calibers, but instead created a new one separately?

"It's simple, because compared to the 7.62mm caliber or the 5.56mm caliber, the 5.8mm caliber is the most perfect!"

Fang Yu never stops talking until his words are shocking, and he spoke confidently.

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Li Dingyuan and Liu Zhenye looked at each other.

Is 5.8mm the perfect caliber?

Who gave Fang Yu the courage to say this?

Could it be that all the weapon design masters from the Bear Country and the United States are not as good as you, Fang Yu?

Just now I thought this young man was a genius with a humble and polite character, and he was a promising talent.

Who knew that now it seems that he is actually an egomaniac.

Liu Zhenye shook his head slightly, a little disappointed with Fang Yu.

However, Li Dingyuan was secretly thinking about Fang Yu's words, as if thinking about something.

In his opinion, Fang Yu shouldn't be an arrogant person. He might have his reasons for saying so.

Besides, he has reason to be proud of being able to design a new type of artillery and such an excellent new assault rifle on his own.

"Young man, what's your reason for saying that?"

"It's simple, old man. The data won't lie."

Hearing this, Fang Yu smiled brightly.

"After a lot of experiments, I found that neither the 7.62mm bullet nor the 5.56mm bullet was as perfect as the 5.8mm bullet in all aspects."

As he spoke, Fang Yu pulled out a few sheets of draft paper filled with numbers from a pile of draft papers and handed them to the two of them.

At the same time, talk freely.

"It's well known."

"The larger the caliber of the bullet, the greater its lethality and penetration."

"But the larger the caliber, the larger the ammunition. You can carry more with a smaller caliber for the same weight."

"At the same time, the larger the caliber, the less likely it is to tumble and deform inside the target, making it easier to create an annular cavity, thus penetrating the target and allowing it to still have a certain degree of survivability."

Upon hearing this, Li Dingyuan and Liu Zhenye both nodded, proving that what Fang Yu said was true.

"Although small-caliber bullets have less lethality and penetration, the smaller the caliber, the lighter the weight."

"Although its penetrating power has decreased, once it remains inside the target, it is very likely to deform, roll over, and break apart."

"At the same time, the smaller the caliber, the stronger the stopping power at medium and long distances. Once hit by a small-caliber round, it is difficult to treat because the round tends to lodge in the body."

"These two calibers of bullets each have their own advantages and disadvantages, but the 5.8mm caliber bullet combines the advantages of both calibers without their disadvantages!"

"In other words, the 5.8mm bullet has the advantages of being small and easy to carry, but also has the characteristics of a large-caliber bullet with strong penetration and high lethality!"

"That's why I said the 5.8mm caliber bullet is the perfect one!"

Li Dingyuan and Liu Zhenye listened to Fang Yu's talk while flipping through the detailed data in their hands.

The expression on his face gradually became serious from being nonchalant at the beginning.

In the end, both of their faces were filled with shock, and their jaws almost dropped.

Because both Fang Yu's words and these data point to one fact.

That is, Fang Yu’s argument that the 5.8mm caliber bullet is superior to the other two bullets may be correct!

In an instant, the two felt that their three views were about to be shattered.

You have to know that Fang Yu is just a young man in his twenties, but he single-handedly overturned the conclusion that the two superpowers had spent countless efforts and resources to guess.

This is no longer a question of genius or not.

This Fang Yu is simply a monster!

"Of course, there are more reasons why I say the 5.8mm caliber bullet is perfect."

Upon hearing this, Li Dingyuan and Liu Zhenye suddenly looked up, their eyes filled with shock.

The advantages of the two bullets are not counted.

This 5.8mm bullet actually has advantages?

"As everyone knows, our Dragon Country is short of copper."

Fang Yu said slowly.

“相较于重7-8克的7.62mm子弹，5.8mm子弹则只有4.15克。”

"That is to say, every time a 5.8mm steel is produced, the country can save nearly 3 grams of copper."

"And the demand for consumables like bullets is staggering. Generally, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, of rounds are needed to manufacture them."

"Compared to the 7.62mm bullet, the production of 5.8mm bullets can save the country hundreds of thousands of tons of copper at once."

"That's why I believe the 5.8mm bullet is the most suitable bullet for Dragon Country."

After saying this, Fang Yu sighed for some reason.

Because only he knew that even in the future, Longguo would be very short of copper, so when making bullets, it had to make "special" bullets such as copper-coated steel core bullets.

However, the current industrial level of Longguo is not enough to produce steel core bullets.

Therefore, the fact that the 5.8mm bullet consumes less copper becomes particularly important.

After all, the copper that could originally make one bullet can now be made into two bullets.

With these extra bullets, the Dragon Kingdom soldiers on the battlefield no longer have to endure the hardship of counting bullets while fighting.

"I didn't expect you to be so far-sighted that you even took this into consideration. It's truly remarkable!"

As the leader of the weapons research and development department, Liu Zhenye is deeply concerned about the current shortage of copper resources in Longguo.

Now we can see that Fang Yu is not only incredibly talented and able to create such excellent new weapons, but also able to consider the overall situation.

Suddenly, he valued Fang Yu even more.

This kid is really not simple!

After looking at Fang Yu’s gun design drawings and the advantages and disadvantages of the 5.8mm bullet.

Liu Zhenye couldn't help but have the idea of ​​really using the gun designed by Fang Yu as the standard weapon of Longguo.

However, it would be too frivolous to make a decision based on just a few words from Fang Yu.

"Young man, if, I mean if."

"If you were the chief designer of this new rifle, and all the personnel and resources of the entire military factory cooperated with you, how long would it take you to produce a prototype?"

"If the entire factory cooperates with me, I can make a prototype gun in about ten days."

Fang Yu made a rough estimate and said.

"However, this possibility is not realistic."

"Not to mention that the people in the military factory just finished their work and need to rest, even if I submit all this information now, it will take who knows how long for the higher-ups to review it."

"Besides, I heard that Mr. Li Dingyuan from the National Design Bureau is also designing our country's first standard rifle."

"Mr. Li is a leading figure in the weapon design industry of our Dragon Country. Perhaps the weapons he designed are much more powerful than mine..."
