Chapter 1396 Beauty Trend (Part 1)
"Build two gift guns?" The senior sister heard Guo Tailai's report to make guns, and couldn't help but ask, "Who are they for?"
"Emperor Pu!" Guo Tailai honestly told the story of Abu wanting to be favored by Emperor Pu and earn extra points.
"You really dare to think!" The senior sister was speechless for a while, and the two guys were blatantly thinking about how to flatter the leader of a country, which is really refreshing.
"Abu is still panicking now, and he is in a hurry to seek medical treatment." Guo Tailai knew what the senior sister was thinking, and explained with a smile: "Anyway, it's not a bad thing for us to have another friend like Abu for the time being."
Zhao Yanyan just reported to the superior and was approved. As Guo Tailai said, having one more friend like this is not a bad thing.
For Guo Tailai, as long as there are raw materials, it is still very easy to make two top-quality firearms. Titanium alloys are easy to talk about. Both firearms are old-fashioned firearms, and they are both old enough. There is no need to consider any patent issues, and they can be solved easily.
"Abu, are you sure you don't need other decorations like gems or precious metals?" Guo Tailai deliberately asked Abu again before doing anything.
"No more!" Abu was able to grasp some clues about Pu Dadi's preferences: "If it's other expensive gifts, he might like some gems or precious metals. But if it's firearms, he still likes them the most. The kind that is unpretentious but has outstanding performance. You also said that using gold to make AK is the taste of big dogs, not the president’s.”
"You have the final say on what you pay for." Guo Tailai smiled at Abu and asked, "Have you got the president's signature?"
"Of course!" Abu said excitedly: "I called the president and asked him to write a signature for the collection. Although the president didn't know what to do, he gave it to me happily. I have emailed received."
"If there is no other request, then I will do it." Guo Tailai took the huge signature of Pu Dadi that Abu showed him, and after a few glances, he returned it to Abu.
"Is there any unique craftsmanship or technique." Abu pondered for a while, organized his wording, and asked Guo Tailai: "It can make the gun for the president unique."
In order to make his gift to be liked by Emperor Pu, this guy was racking his brains to figure out Emperor Pu's hobbies. Although he didn't use gems or precious metals to inlay, he still wanted to make the gift he gave more precious.
"The things I make are unique in themselves." Guo Tailai smiled confidently, looked at Abu's unsatisfactory face, and continued: "I can use the method of hollowing out the inside and processing the surface to make titanium alloy into plastic or wood. Texture and weight. This way you can hold two real guns made of pure titanium alloy as a gift. I don’t think there is a full-metal high-precision AK47 of normal weight in the world?”
"This is the way! This is the way!" Abton became excited for a moment. Although he didn't understand the crafts that Guo Tailai said, he had no doubt that Guo Tailai could do it. If it is really such a unique firearm, Emperor Pu will be happy to accept it.
"So, are there any requirements on the color?" Guo Tailai continued to ask. The two guns are obviously customized versions, and the customer's requirements must be considered.
"You use pure titanium alloy for the material, and do you want to use metallic paint for the color?" Abu still asked expectantly. Although what he said was metallic paint, if Guo Tailai really used paint, he might be a little disappointed. But Abu still has confidence in Guo Tailai, and feels that Guo Tailai must have a way.
"Since I want a pure titanium alloy firearm, I can also use some surface treatment to show the required color." Guo Tailai knew what Abu thought, and did not disappoint him. He said with a smile: "The surface is blued, passivated , and certain heat treatment processes can make the desired color of ordinary gun body and gun case.”
"What about the red texture of the wood?" Abu doesn't understand these crafts, but he knows what he wants: "Or what about the camouflage coating on the gun body? Can't all use the most common black or metallic color?"
"There are some butterflies and beetles in nature, their wings are actually colorless, but because of some unique structures on the wings that have reached the nanometer level, they can reflect a certain color of light, so what we see Butterfly wings become colorful. This color is not achieved by pigment, but by structure, so it is called structural color.” Guo Tailai gave Abu a science popularization with a smile: “Butterfly beetles can do it, I can do it too."
Structural color, also known as physical color, is a luster caused by the wavelength of light. It is a variety of colors produced by the refraction, diffuse reflection, diffraction or interference of light waves due to the extremely thin wax layer, engraved points, grooves or scales on the insect body wall. For example, the metallic luster and flash on the surface of the beetle's body wall are typical structural colors.
Although he didn't understand what Guo Tai said these principles were and how they did it, Abu's eyes lit up instantly: "It means that not only can you have the color you want, but it's also unique and very expensive?"
"It's outrageously expensive." Guo Tailai replied bluntly.
"How expensive can it be?" Abu was about to be pleasantly surprised, and asked enthusiastically, he just wanted a huge number.
"According to the previous market price, the official collection price of the W2000 sniper rifle I made by myself is five million U.S. dollars. Recently, it seems that the market price has risen slightly, to six million U.S. dollars." Guo Tailai replied casually: "But, that is an ordinary High-precision version, limited to two pieces. The manufacturing precision of this AK is the same as that of W2000, but it is an orphan product, and the expensive surface structure color process will bring about a ten-fold increase in price. You are a friend, and I will give you a discount. It's five times as good."
While waiting for Abu to calculate how much five times is, Guo Tailai has already described how expensive it is in another way for him.
"The price of an AK47 made in the Soviet Union is 500 to 600 US dollars in the United States. And the one I made..." Guo Tailai smiled: "Based on the calculation of the highest price of 600 US dollars, the equivalent price of a gun It can equip 50,000 people. In addition, the submachine gun probably costs at least five million dollars."
After all, an assault pistol is still a pistol, and less surface craftsmanship will be used. The customized version of AK47 is different. Guo Tailai not only has to make the wood weight and texture of the gun handle handguard, but also the structural color that Abu expects. The cost of surface treatment alone will be unbelievably high.
"It's going to be like this!" Abu was pleasantly surprised, and immediately decided: "When can it be done?"
