Chapter 601 Big Eyes, amazing!

The dean was not unaware of this thing. After all, it was the Red Eye in 1958. Even if he didn't know all the details, he had heard of it a little.

I know it, but I dare not think about it. The reason is very simple: this thing is too small.

Being small does not mean being easy to do. Anyone who does scientific research knows that going in either direction, big or small, is difficult.

So when Gao Zhendong proposed this, the dean was completely surprised and took a deep breath. This is not going to be easy.

But then again, it might be true that it is difficult for others to do it, but since Chief Engineer Gao took the initiative to bring it up, it means that he has an idea in mind and is somewhat confident.

So the dean didn't say a discouraging word, but just confirmed it.

"Boss Gao, have you decided to make a portable anti-aircraft missile for individual soldiers?"

"Yes, that's what I mean."

The dean didn't hesitate at all. If you are willing to do it, our hospital will accompany you!
"Okay, we'll fully cooperate. Just ask for anything you need!"

Gao Zhendong was not polite: "I need a weakened infrared air-to-air missile design team. I don't need them to research new technologies, but they must have sufficient application experience in the technology used in Thunderbolt-3."

This is based on reality, the most appropriate consideration, and can most intuitively explain his core requirements.

The infrared portable surface-to-air missile developed using the technology of Thunderbolt-3 has enough performance to crush the existing Red Eye and the future Arrow-2 to the ground, and is enough to make a helicopter shit its ass.

In fact, today when helicopter self-defense technology has not yet been developed, it is not necessary to apply all the technologies that Gao Zhendong envisioned. It is enough to apply a part of them. As long as one capability is retained, helicopters and low-altitude tactical aircraft can feel the stimulation of the small flying stick.

That means hitting head on!

This most important capability can be achieved by using mercury cadmium telluride detectors.

Red Eye, Arrow-2: I really don’t have this!

Of course, for the goods you use yourself, in addition to the head-on ones, you still have to add all the others to achieve the existing extreme.

"Okay, we will immediately select personnel with sufficient skills and experience from the infrared air-to-air missile group to form a portable surface-to-air missile design team. The rest of the things will be left to you, Mr. Gao, hahahaha."

The big guys who can make decisions talk to each other so straightforwardly that the dean finalized the matter immediately.

As for the project establishment, didn’t you see the dean say, “I leave it to you, Mr. Gao?”

Gao Zhendong smiled and said, "Okay, once the team is formed, ask their leaders and subsystem leaders to come see me right away. We will get started as soon as we say so, without any delay."

On the snowy plateau, the border defense soldiers have received a new batch of equipment.

This time is a little different from previous ones, as several new equipment came at once.

If April in other places can still be described as chilly, it is still howling with cold winds here.

But the soldiers felt warm in their hearts, because there was a good guy again!

The soldiers were very excited when they saw the new guns unpacked from the boxes. They thought the guns were very exciting! Everyone felt like using a light machine gun.

If we only talk about firepower sustainability, the assault rifle is not weaker than the light machine gun of the S2 era. After all, the S2 also has a BAR with a capacity of 20 rounds, which can be used as a light machine gun.

By the way, there is also the Type 99 rifle whose ammunition capacity is unclear.

Even in the earliest days, to some extent, China regarded submachine guns as light machine guns, such as the "Flower Machine Gun" and Hans Cat's MP-18.

The soldiers happily unpacked the boxes and tore off the paper. Fortunately, the guns were not sealed. If they were sealed, there would be so much oil that the guns would be soaked in it, and it would be a big job to clean them.

Training with guns is relatively simple, so there is no need to change equipment in batches.

Soon, the soldiers discovered the benefits of this assault rifle called Type 61.

"It's really short, but opening it doesn't affect shooting."

"That's nothing. Look at the instructions. You can still shoot even when folded. It won't be a problem in an emergency."

"Hey, look, my gun-mounted grenade launcher can be hung directly on it."

"Why is this bayonet so short? It doesn't work."

"You are stupid, why don't you just shoot?"

"You know what, this gun feels really comfortable in my hand."

"This buttstock is interesting. It can be adjusted in length. I don't have to bend my arm to shoot anymore. It's really comfortable. Hey, little egg, you don't have to complain about not being able to reach it anymore."

The person who said this was a tall man, who was making fun of a shorter soldier.

"Hey, now don't use your submachine gun to irritate me every day. Mine is also a submachine gun."

Yanqi, a southwestern dialect, means showing off in front of others.

This imitation version of AK-47 is positioned as a submachine gun in the army. There are two guns in a squad. This kind of gun that can fire continuously makes other comrades who use semi-automatic guns very jealous.

So no matter what this Type 61 assault rifle was originally called, in the eyes of the soldiers, well, it is still a submachine gun.

Submachine gun: No, we can’t beat it!

"Same, then don't show off in front of me every day that your gun can hang up after using up all the bullets."

Daily harm to each other is a kind of. The original submachine gun does not have an empty chamber hang-up, but the semi-automatic one does.

"Hey, what is this little handle used for?"

"Look at the manual. It says that if you mount it on the front of the gun, you don't have to hold the magazine. Hey, there's a small bipod hidden inside. This time it can really be used as a machine gun."

Everyone got the hang of it quickly because the use of this gun was generally not much different from the original "submachine gun".

At this time, a soldier discovered a new world, and he shouted beside the machine gunner, "Comrades, come and see, I can use his belt box!"

The original light machine gun used a belt-type box magazine, and the drum magazine of the Type 61 light machine gun looked similar to the belt-type box. The soldiers had obviously misunderstood.

All the comrades were excited. If one were to say what the riflemen envied the most about the machine gunners, it would undoubtedly be the large-capacity ammunition belt box that could fire "bang bang bang bang".

——All fear comes from lack of firepower!

Even the original submachine gunners have to admit defeat in this regard.

Everyone gathered around, curiously watching the soldier insert and remove the machine gunner's drum magazine, insert and remove it...

The machine gunner didn't take it seriously: "Haha, look at what you said, I can use your magazine too."

Looking at the "big rifle" with a loaded magazine in the machine gunner's hand, the soldiers were all happy. This time everyone was in the same situation.

"Forget about the magazines. I saw in the manual that most of the parts of this submachine gun and the light machine gun are interchangeable."

A studious soldier said cheerfully, holding up the instruction manual.

Everyone was very happy, as this meant that fighting would be easier. Sacrifice was inevitable, and it was equally important to allow the surviving comrades to continue fighting.

The battalion commander looked at the whole battalion busy replacing their weapons, and he and the battalion instructor expressed their feelings.

"The weapons we have are getting better and better. The comrade who made this gun must have been on the battlefield. I like everything about this gun."

"I just don't know what their performance and reliability are like. It would be amazing if these two could catch up with the old guns." The instructor laughed.

The reliability of AK-47 is absolutely beyond doubt, and this is highly recognized by commanders and fighters.

"I believe our comrades in scientific research will not fail to think of it, it should not be too bad, haha. I heard that in the north, we have a large shooting range that is specially used to test these things. My old comrade-in-arms even worked there for a while." The battalion commander was quite optimistic.

"Yeah, that's right. A comrade who can make good things like 61 fire and rifle-mounted grenades will not let you down, haha."

The performance of the two new weapons mentioned above has brought great confidence to the commanders and fighters, as well as their trust in their comrades engaged in scientific research.

They didn't know that these weapons were not made by the same company, but it turned out that the person who played an important role was actually the same person.

The battalion commander picked up a Type 61 rifle and pulled the bolt. "Whether it's a mule or a horse, we'll know after we take it out for a spin. We won't know its reliability in the short term, but we'll know whether it's accurate or not. Li Dayan!"

He shouted a warrior's nickname.

"To!"

A soldier ran over. His name was Li Dayan. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes. He was an excellent marksman and was the best marksman in the camp's competitions, hence his name.

The battalion commander handed him the gun and said, "Try a few shots!"

If others can't shoot accurately, it may be because their shooting skills are not good. If he can't shoot accurately, then it is because his gun is not good.

"Yes!"

Li Dayan took the gun, turned around and came to the shooting position.

He lay down and placed the gun on a sandbag for support. This was a test of the gun, so he had to be serious. He would not do any fancy moves like standing without support for the time being.

"Snapped!"

After a brief aiming, he fired the first shot.

He did not continue shooting, but waited for news from his comrade who reported the target. This was to test the gun and see if the sight was crooked.

"Ten rings!"

The voice of a comrade came from the walkie-talkie.

"Wow, that's pretty accurate!"

The soldiers were communicating excitedly, not saying that Li Dayan was an accurate shooter, but that the gun itself had good accuracy. As for Li Dayan being an accurate shooter, that was as it should be.

The battalion commander and the instructor exchanged glances and were both very excited.

But this is not enough. To determine the accuracy, it is not enough to just look at the first shot, but also the overall dispersion.

"Keep fighting!"

"Yes!"

Li Dayan also gained confidence. Not only was this gun comfortable to hold, but the first shot was also pretty much as he expected. Needless to say, just fire it!

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

"Da da da... da da da..."

After a while, he felt unsatisfied and even changed the target, shooting at another one.

This time, there were too many bullets, so the battalion commander simply gave orders through the walkie-talkie, asking the soldiers who wanted to report the target to bring the target paper directly.

After a while, the comrade who reported the target came running over happily with the target paper, shouting as he ran.

"Accurate! Really accurate! Big Eyes, it's amazing! You can hit the target with every shot!"
