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

"Comrade Xiao Wang, this Xiao Liu is a very important scientific researcher in our army. He just won a first-class merit not long ago!"

After finishing the call with Liu Hongyi, Commander Yu immediately gave instructions to Director Wang.

Director Wang gasped.

Official confirmation, solid evidence!

There really is a first-class merit for a sixteen-year-old who is fully grown and complete...

This little cow is riding a plane—so cool!

"I will go to your farm tomorrow. You must ensure his safety, 100%!"

"If a single hair is missing, you are the only one to blame!"

The old general gave stern orders.

Director Wang agreed repeatedly and made a promise with a pat on his chest.

After hanging up the phone, her attitude towards Liu Hongyi took a 180-degree turn. She smiled as brightly as a flower, and her face was almost full of smiles.

Fortunately, I arrived in time, otherwise, something serious would have happened.

Director Wang's apology was pouring out, but Liu Hongyi quickly waved his hand to stop him, saying, "Director Wang, I'm fine, don't worry... I just want to talk to Comrade Chen Jiayou right away..."

A criminal who is currently serving time in prison cannot be called a "comrade". Liu Hongyi did this on purpose.

If you want to develop those new products, you must find a way to get Chen Jiayou out.

Should he be allowed to conduct scientific research in a labor camp?

Director Wang immediately agreed: "No problem, I'll have someone bring Chen Jiayou over right away."

Liu Hongyi continued, "Director Wang, there's something I must report to you first. My conversation with Chen Jiayou may involve military secrets. Therefore, I hope that only you and the farm's main leaders will be present during this conversation."

Originally it would have been best to have a private conversation, but given Chen Jiayou's special status, Liu Hongyi had to settle for the second best.

Director Wang and other main leaders of the farm are all county and regiment-level cadres, and should be trustworthy.

If he really insisted on meeting and talking with Chen Jiayou alone, and if any misunderstanding arose and was reported by someone with ulterior motives, he would have trouble explaining himself.

There's no need to take such a risk.

Director Wang agreed again.

As long as he can attend as an observer, that's fine.

Director Wang himself was afraid he couldn't explain it clearly...

About half an hour later, Chen Jiayou was taken to the field office.

A middle-aged man in his fifties, with graying hair, a hunched back, a dark complexion, a stumbling gait, and a look of nervousness. He didn't know what unknown misfortune was waiting for him.

It was really scary to be imprisoned in a labor camp and suddenly be brought to the site headquarters!

When Chen Jiayou saw Liu Hongyi in the office, he was stunned.

Isn't this too young?

And why is there only one person in military uniform?

Generally speaking, doesn't a task force have to consist of more than two people?

Director Wang and another deputy director of the farm were also there, but they were not wearing military uniforms, so it was obvious at a glance that they were the heads of the farm.

"Professor Chen Jiayou!"

Liu Hongyi immediately stood up, stood at attention, raised his hand to his eyebrows, and saluted him.

Chen Jiayou was shocked and looked at him in disbelief. He was stunned and completely at a loss for a moment.

He had been imprisoned in the Third Labor Camp for several years and was no longer the confident and energetic authoritative university professor he once was.

Liu Hongyi knew that it would be difficult for him to adapt immediately, so he said to himself, "Professor Chen, my name is Liu Hongyi, and I'm a student of Tan Dexi. I currently work at the Third Research Institute as a senior technician. I've come here to visit you, entrusted by Director Duan Weimin of our research institute."

The expression on Chen Jiayou's face then became somewhat lively.

He had heard of Tan Dexi and Duan Weimin.

A weapons research expert, and a general-level director of a research institute, they can barely be considered people in the same circle.

But he just nodded and said nothing.

"Chen Jiayou, please sit down!"

Director Wang took the initiative to speak, waited for Chen Jiayou to sit down, and poured him a cup of hot tea.

It can be seen that Director Wang is actually a person who understands the ways of the world very well.

After the correctional officers left, there were only four of them left in the small office.

"Professor Chen, our three institutes recently developed a new weapon. It has passed national acceptance and is ready for mass production."

Chen Jiayou was slightly stunned and looked at Director Wang and the other man with some uneasiness.

Why did people from the research institute suddenly come to the labor camp and talk to a criminal like him about new weapons?

Director Wang said, "Chen Jiayou, today's conversation has been approved by the farm's main leaders. Comrade Liu Hongyi is here on behalf of the military to talk to you. Please feel free to speak your mind about any issues you may have."

Chen Jiayou finally felt relieved and asked cautiously, "Technician Liu, what is this new weapon?"

I'm not a weapons researcher, why are you looking for me for this?

"35mm automatic grenade launcher."

"what?"

This shocked Chen Jiayou.

"You guys figured it out?"

Although he is not an expert in weapons research, as a technology expert, he naturally knows something.

"Yes, Professor Chen, I figured it out!"

"At present, there is still room for further improvement in shooting accuracy."

"At a distance of 400 meters, the impact point spread is still quite large when firing directly. Due to the limited armor penetration, it is somewhat difficult to deal with permanent reinforced concrete structures. It is best to directly hit the firing port."

"We've tested it and found that the best gun tester in the factory can achieve a score of three to one. When he's in particularly good shape, he can achieve a score of two to one."

This is what is called a sharpshooter, and he is definitely at the level of a gun king.

Ordinary soldiers may not even be able to achieve one-fifth of this accuracy.

This is, after all, a grenade launcher, not a sniper rifle. In terms of shooting accuracy, it cannot be compared with a rifle.

In other words, a 35mm automatic grenade equipped with only mechanical sights, in the hands of ordinary soldiers on a real battlefield, basically does not have the ability to directly attack the firing holes of enemy fortifications.

It's all about luck.

A sharpshooter at the gun king level is top-notch even at the military strategist level and is extremely rare.

This requires a high level of talent.

In an army of tens of thousands of people, it is very remarkable to have a few true gun masters.

Such a low ratio cannot play a decisive role on the battlefield.

Chen Jiayou understood and said excitedly, "You want to get an optical sight?"

Liu Hongyi laughed and said, "Yes, Professor Chen, I not only want to develop an optical sight, but also a laser rangefinder. It would be best if I could also develop an infrared device. This way, when we really go to the battlefield, the combat effectiveness of the troops will definitely be greatly improved."

It's easy to talk to real scientists.

He knows what you want.

You don't need to say a word.

Chen Jiayou looked at him in surprise.

This little kid has such a big appetite!
