In Wei Shuqin's eyes, Kalashnikov didn't seem to be an important person. But from Qin Baoshan's point of view, Kalashnikov is very powerful.
An AK rifle looks very small, not as powerful as a ballistic missile, but there are countless people who died under the hands of the AK rifle.
At this moment, Qin Baoshan held Kalashnikov's hand cordially and communicated with him, and Kalashnikov also felt flattered at this moment.
After all, he is not a well-known master of firearms design, he is just an ordinary technician in the weapon experiment field, and he brought his immature automatic rifle plan to the customers in the East to solve the problems. He got the favor of this famous military expert from the East.
Qin Baoshan first chatted with him about the intermediate-power rifle ammunition. This 7.62mm caliber cannot be changed, so he can only find a way on the ammunition. It is the same as the 6.5mm caliber used by the Eighth Route Army, and it is the most widely used weapon in China.
After talking about bullets, Qin Baoshan chatted with Kalashnikov about the design of this automatic rifle. Kalashnikov listened very carefully. The plans Qin Baoshan said were similar to his thinking.
The accuracy of this kind of weapon is not required to reach such a high level, but it must be reliable. Even if it is in the mud, it must be able to fire after being pulled out and thrown a few times. What soldiers need is a reliable weapon.
And Qin Baoshan continued to introduce him to the idea of ??weapons. After the birth of this automatic rifle, it can replace a large number of army equipment and become the main weapon in the army. Replace all those old Mosin Nagant rifles. At least eight men in an infantry squad use this automatic rifle. In this way, the firepower will be greatly improved.
Hearing Kalashnikov nod again and again, for him, of course he hopes that the rifle he developed can become the main equipment of the army.
The Eighth Route Army does not have this condition for the time being, because the military production capacity of the Eighth Route Army is still unable to provide the troops with so much ammunition. This automatic weapon will consume ten times as much ammunition as before. But the Soviet Union is different. The Soviet Union has a strong military production capacity. If they drive at full speed, they will soon be able to replace all the army's weapons and equipment.
Qin Baoshan continued to introduce this weapon, which can be further modified, such as thickening and lengthening the barrel, so that it can be turned into a squad machine gun. All the bullets in such an infantry squad are common, which greatly reduces logistical supplies.
In addition to this squad machine gun, a sniper rifle with this structure can also be developed, so to speak, all the weapons have been replaced.
This is definitely the time for a new infantry weapon. Thinking of the prospect Qin Baoshan outlined for himself, Kalashnikov felt bursts of excitement.
However, the engineers from the Tula Design Bureau on the side felt a little curious. What Qin Baoshan said sounds too mysterious.
So far, the main force equipped in their own army is still the Mosin Nagant rifle, and a small number of elite troops use submachine guns. Now the weapon Qin Baoshan is talking about uses intermediate-power rifle bullets, which means that all the previous rifle bullets can no longer be used. For the country, this would be a huge waste. How could it be possible to change all the military equipment?
However, Qin Baoshan has already demonstrated his ability, and even Be*ya praised Qin Baoshan very much. The famous aircraft designer Tupolev is reporting Qin Baoshan's request to the relevant departments in Moscow. Facing such a powerful person as Qin Baoshan, the designer of light weapons did not refute anything.
? After Kalashnikov was sent away, Qin Baoshan was still very excited. Wei Shuqin looked at Qin Baoshan and couldn't help but said, "Are you familiar with Kalashnikov?"
"Of course, I knew him in the previous life," Qin Baoshan said, "Do you believe that people have such things as previous lives?"
Wei Shuqin shook her head: "I'm an atheist, and I don't believe in these things at all. But I feel that you are getting more and more strange."
Qin Baoshan smiled and said nothing.
On this day, there seems to be nothing to do, just wait for Moscow to approve their list of weapons imports, and then take Lu Da and Xiongzheng to see the 1,000-ton hydraulic press promised by Tupolev. Even if the trip to the Soviet Union came to an end.
It's just that Qin Baoshan didn't expect that after he came here, he would meet celebrities one after another.
Just this afternoon, someone came to visit them again, but the size of the people from the Tula Design Bureau in the morning was different,Only one person came this time.
This person was just passing by. After hearing that there were military workers from the Eighth Route Army here, he couldn't help but come to visit. And he is not well-known in the Soviet Union.
It's just that after hearing his name, Qin Baoshan was immediately excited. Because this person turned out to be the famous Kartsev.
The Soviet Union has a complete military production capacity here, as well as a first-class tank production base. Speaking of the tanks they produce, we have to mention the famous t-34 tank. This tank was made by Koshkin.
In the Soviet era, Kotin, the tank designer, was shrouded in a halo. Because he was the son-in-law of the famous Marshal Voroshinov, he was so proud that he almost controlled all the tank production plans. The heavy tanks manufactured by his men always have various technical problems. But no one dared to speak against him, and at the same time he suppressed other tank designers.
After Koshkin created the t-34 tank, he did not get Moscow's attention for a long time. So Koshkin decided to be ruthless, and drove his own tank for thousands of kilometers in the winter, from the tank factory to Moscow, thus gaining the approval of his superiors, but because of the cold, this famous tank The designer passed away.
During the Great Patriotic War. All the tank farms need to be moved to the east of the Soviet Union. They came to the Ural Mountains and formed tank bases one by one. After the Great Patriotic War, these tank factories were relocated back, but the Ural Mountains can¡¯t all be evacuated. , so a new tank base was established in Nizhny Tagil.
Kartsev's brilliance started from Nizhny Tagil. He did not follow the people back to the original tank base, but stayed. However, it is gold, no matter where it will shine. Kartsev worked silently all his life here in Nizhny Tagil, and at the same time produced the most famous t-72 tank in Soviet history after the t-34. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
