A professor's rebirth: I entered Tsinghua University in 1977.

"Design it now, design it now, make the blueprints now, do it now..."

The next moment, Chief Engineer Tan jumped up, waving his hands and shouting like a madman.

The people at the research institute were dumbfounded, not knowing what was going on.

The people in the factory smiled at each other, with a tacit expression of "it's still the same".

This is not the first time that Chief Engineer Tan has gone crazy.

This old man would often start dancing and going crazy while talking to others, then leave the other person behind and run away on his own, leaving people puzzled.

However, after each "outburst", it doesn't take long for a new design to come out.

People who work in technology are all like this.

Everyone is used to it.

The reason why Tan Dexi was so excited was that he knew very well that if Liu Hongyi's design was feasible, it would have great significance for strengthening the firepower of individual soldiers in the team.

It can be said that its function is no less than the 35mm howitzer machine gun designed by Liu Hongyi earlier.

The howitzer machine gun also requires two people.

A shooter and a secondary shooter.

However, grenades hanging under the rifle do not count towards the establishment.

Every infantryman can hang one under the barrel of his gun, so that he can launch grenades to bombard enemy positions or shoot with a rifle.

Once this equipment is deployed throughout the army, our army's disadvantage in firepower against the Anlang army's squad and platoon-level individual soldiers will be completely reversed. We won't have an overwhelming advantage, but at least we'll be on par with them.

This kind of firepower enhancement will greatly increase enemy casualties and greatly reduce our casualties in a real war.

The greatest protection for our soldiers is to kill all the enemies cleanly and efficiently!

"Gaudi, take a few people with you and provide guidance in the workshop... Zhang Chenghai, Jin Yunfeng, follow me."

Tan Dexi immediately made arrangements.

The four assistants initially assigned to the research team by the research institute have made great progress in their work over the past one or two months under the strict supervision of Tan Dexi.

The progress of Zhang Chenghai and Jin Yunfeng is the most obvious.

Especially Zhang Chenghai.

It was only because he was a formal technician at the research institute, otherwise Tan Dexi would really have thought about taking in an apprentice again.

"Last disciple" Liu Hongyi instantly became senior brother.

Arriving at the factory research room, Tan Dexi immediately said to Liu Hongyi: "Hongyi, tell us your idea in detail..."

Liu Hongyi scratched his head and said, "Teacher, please tell me."

"What are you afraid of? There's no outsider here. Once it's done, if it really works, we'll decide whose name to put on it."

He understood Liu Hongyi's concerns.

And I vaguely know that Liu Hongyi does not want to go into weapons design in the future.

For Liu Hongyi, weapon design is just a hobby; he has higher goals in life. If he becomes too famous in the field of weapon design, he might not be able to choose his own path in life in the future.

Nowadays, the phrase "obey the organization's arrangements" can make all your personal thoughts disappear.

Although Tan Dexi had spent most of his life designing weapons, he also felt that Liu Hongyi's talent should have a broader future. Being a top weapons design expert might not be enough to fully utilize his talent.

"Hongyi, tell me quickly, what good news is there?"

Jin Yunfeng couldn't help but urge him.

He now has a very good relationship with Liu Hongyi.

With the help of Tan Dexi and Liu Hongyi, not only is Project 130 almost complete, but they've also now developed a 35mm howitzer. If this thing can be implemented, Jin Yunfeng will definitely be a meritorious official, and his name must be on the research team's list.

With this achievement, he might be promoted to deputy battalion commander.

His old man will definitely praise him for his progress.

Liu Hongyi no longer hesitated and repeated his idea.

Zhang Chenghai and Jin Yunfeng's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Hongyi, sure, I think this idea is sound... If we can pull it off, our three institutes will become famous."

Jin Yunfeng said excitedly.

Zhang Chenghai immediately agreed: "Yes, I also think this idea is very good and definitely worth a try. Teacher, please assign the tasks, we must hurry!"

Tan Dexi nodded, smiling for once.

Soon, the research team divided the work.

Zhang Chenghai and Jin Yunfeng have both made significant progress and are now able to share some of the basic design tasks. The key links naturally still rely on Tan Dexi and Liu Hongyi.

However, Tan Dexi and his team had previously researched this, and the launch tube design was not complex, with existing drawings and data available for reference. The current focus was on the missile body design.

According to Liu Hongyi's opinion, high and low pressure launch and caseless projectile are a new idea.

Need to start from scratch.

But based on Tan Dexi's experience, if we follow Liu Hongyi's ideas, there should be great hope for success.

Not to mention the great work that Tan Dexi and his team were doing at Factory 576, Duan Weimin also went to the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense and found a deputy director in charge of their projects.

The deputy director, who was in his sixties, had a gaunt face but was still in good spirits. He met with Duan Weimin in his office.

"Xiao Duan, have you produced any results from your 130 project?"

Duan Weimin was in his fifties and held the rank of deputy military officer, but in the mouth of the deputy director, he became "Little Duan".

Duan Weimin naturally had no objection at all, but instead felt very close to him.

"Director, the 130 research group is almost ready to produce results, probably within the next month or two. As I mentioned before, I brought Tan Dexi to our institute to help out..."

"Haha, that little Tan has a weird temper. If I remember correctly, you and he are old classmates, right? This stubborn donkey, if used well, can play a very big role."

A smile appeared on Duan Weimin's lips.

Next time, we should bring Tan Dexi over too, and let him properly understand the "spirit" of the deputy director's speech.

Did you hear that, Xiao Tan, you are a stubborn donkey!

"Yes, yes, Director, Tan Dexi's technical skills are beyond question. With him around, it's only a matter of time before the 130 research group produces results. The main reason I came to Beidu this time is for another matter, to report to you in person... Tan Dexi and his student Liu Hongyi have come up with a new design."

"The design is quite good. I'd like to ask the director to give it a thumbs up!"

"You guys want to do this thing?"

"Can it be done?"

The deputy director was initially delighted, but then said with some doubt.

"Director, is it possible? Please give it a try..."
