Chapter 174 Are You Sure There Is Enough Time?
He Zhijun was also wondering if his request was a bit too much.
A gun, from parts to finished product, has to go through thousands of trials and tests before it can enter the army.
The weapons experts have already thoroughly researched the problems that can be corrected. The rest are either minor and not worth the fuss, or they are technical bottlenecks that cannot be overcome in the short term.
If this happened in a research institute, it would take experts several months to work on it.
"A week?" The senior captain asked involuntarily, "Are you sure that's enough time?"
"Enough!" Zhang Chuan answered straightforwardly, "If we delay it for too long, the training will be affected, which will not be worth it."
What a joke!
With Iron Man's military mechanical skills, Zhang Chuan's mind is filled with military wisdom that is ahead of his time, and he is well versed in weapons and equipment.
Considering his familiarity with Langya's existing equipment, it is no exaggeration to say that he is a master of weapon manufacturing that combines Chinese and Western styles!
With his ability, it would take him three to five days at most to improve an ordinary pistol or rifle. Zhang Chuan stayed a few more days just to be on the safe side.
Seeing that Zhang Chuan had no intention of delaying the training, He Zhijun felt relieved.
"Whether it works or not, this idea is always a good one! I support you!" He Zhijun waved his hand, "Go back first, I'll call you when the things are ready!"
"Okay, Wolf Head!" Zhang Chuan agreed.
"It's settled!" He Zhijun made the final decision.
Four days passed in a flash. Zhang Chuan had just finished training and had lunch when he was hurriedly called over by the high school team.
"Wolf Head is looking for you!"
Zhang Chuan's face was full of joy. "Did Wolf Head say anything?"
The high school team kindly reminded: "Once the stuff arrives, our agreement will begin. Aren't you nervous?"
"Why are you so nervous?"
Zhang Chuan chuckled, "Captain Gao, I'm going to go find Wolf Head first, and we'll talk later!"
"This kid!" Captain Gao shook his head. Somehow, he developed a sense of trust in Zhang Chuan.
Maybe it’s because this guy can always perform miracles!
Arriving at He Zhijun's office, He Zhijun saw Zhang Chuan and said, "Boy, come here!"
Zhang Chuan looked at He Zhijun's expression and knew that his guess was almost right.
"Hehehe! Wolf Head, I've been waiting for a long time!"
He Zhijun rolled his eyes and handed over a list:
"Everything you ordered is here, and it's all in the lab you picked!"
After that, He Zhijun led Zhang Chuan to the laboratory:
"The items on your list are all controlled items. According to regulations, even Wolf Fang is not eligible to buy them. The Brigade Headquarters went through a lot of trouble, and the leaders above personally stepped in to get them from the military factory!"
"Thank you for your hard work, Wolf Head! I knew there was nothing that Wolf Head couldn't accomplish!"
Zhang Chuan could tell that He Zhijun had indeed put in a lot of effort, and this matter might not be easy to handle.
This may sound like flattery, but it is sincere.
He Zhijun didn't buy this sugar-coated bullet:
"I'm warning you, the items on this list cost us more than two million, and they're discounted. If you don't make some progress, I'll lose face! You have to make some noise for me!"
"Noise?" Zhang Chuan pretended to be confused. "Wolf Head, you don't want me to create a mushroom cloud, do you? That would make the biggest noise!"
"Bah bah bah!"
He Zhijun was annoyed, "That would be a big noise. If it really explodes, our Langya will be finished!"
Then, seeing Zhang Chuan's serious expression, He Zhijun couldn't help but ask, "Can you create a mushroom cloud?"
"Hahaha!" Zhang Chuan laughed innocently, "I can do it, Wolf Head, do you believe it?"
In fact, the principle of mushroom cloud is simple. Zhang Chuan has military mechanical skills and has already figured out the principle. The key is that the raw materials are difficult to obtain. Uranium 235 alone is a headache.
Not to mention the separation and concentration, which is an extremely complicated process.
Not to mention two million worth of instruments and equipment, even two billion is at stake.
He Zhijun breathed a sigh of relief, but was also shocked by his own thoughts.
Could it be that he has subconsciously determined that Zhang Chuan can improve the weapons?
The two chatted as they walked, and soon they arrived at a small laboratory. As soon as the door opened, Zhang Chuan quickly checked the items.
Every instrument and equipment inside is a necessity. Without complete tools, even the most skilled chef will not be able to cook.
After inspecting various equipment for gun manufacturing and explosives synthesis, and checking the instruments for steel and plastic melting and processing, Zhang Chuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although these equipments are not as comprehensive as those in military factories or research institutes, they are more than sufficient for improving rifles or pistols.
"Wolfhead, you are so efficient. This equipment is very complete!"
He Zhijun laughed dryly: "So, our agreement is now effective?"
"Wolf Head, you are taking advantage of the situation!" Zhang Chuan smiled bitterly, "I only have equipment but no raw materials. What can I use to tinker with it?"
As he spoke, Zhang Chuan grabbed a pen and paper and quickly wrote out a list of raw materials!
"Wolf Head, please!"
He Zhijun took a look at it and was shocked: "There must be hundreds of them. You are making quite a fuss!"
"It's already very little!" Zhang Chuan said with a bitter face, "By the way, Wolf Head, from now on I will not participate in the Wolf Fang training. If necessary, I will practice alone!"
"Got it!" He Zhijun understood that these devices still needed to be debugged after they were in place, and Zhang Chuan would be busy.
After He Zhijun left, Zhang Chuan began to unpack and debug the equipment. As for the modification plan, he planned to start with a simple rifle.
With military mechanical skills, Zhang Chuan has already formed a plan to improve the accuracy of rifles and special bullets. Once he is familiar with the equipment, he can start working as soon as the materials arrive!
He Zhijun acted quickly and delivered all the raw materials to Zhang Chuan's small laboratory the next day.
As a result, Zhang Chuan simply stayed in seclusion in his small laboratory, not going out of the door.
"Do you think Zhang Chuan has gone crazy because of the All-Army Special Forces Competition?"
Five days later, Deng Zhenhua couldn't help asking when he delivered the meal.
"Who knows!" Shi Dafan said in a muffled voice, "It's said outside that Zhang Chuan was put in solitary confinement! I don't know who spread it!"
"Nothing will happen to him in there, right?" Deng Zhenhua was still a little worried.
"We eat every day, and the lab is full of noise like iron forging. What can Zhang Chuan do?" Shi Dafan frowned. "I heard from Captain Gao that Zhang Chuan has received a secret mission to improve weapons and equipment!"
Deng Zhenhua shook his head:
"I believe Zhang Chuan is researching new tactics, but improving weapons and equipment is not something that rough guys like us can do! Besides, have you ever seen Zhang Chuan fiddling with those bottles and jars? I don't believe he can come up with anything!"
"How about we make a bet?" Shi Dafan suggested.
"Bet?" Deng Zhenhua immediately became alert when Shi Dafan mentioned this and asked, "Let me be clear first, what are you betting on?"
"Spicy strips?"
"The spicy noodles are too spicy. It's really painful to go to the toilet!"
"Pot crust?"
"The rice crust is too dry. If you eat too much, your stomach won't be able to bear it!"
“Betel nut?”
"Betel nut is poisonous. I gave it up after eating it once!"
Shi Dafan was forced into a corner, so he had to make up his mind and said, "You forced me to do this! Looks like we have to make a big bet!"
“Hehehe!” Deng Zhenhua showed no fear: “I want to see what big bet you can make!”
