Chapter 16 Adventure
Director's Office.
Liu Tao brought his men to the director's office with more than a dozen Type 63 automatic rifles manufactured yesterday and his brand new automatic rifle that had been upgraded many times.
In addition to Liu Tao, Zhang Hongjun, Sun Weihua, Lin Shengli, Tang Changzheng and others were all here.
"Comrade Liu Tao, has the problem of the Type 63 automatic rifle really been solved?" Wang Tiezhu asked impatiently.
You know, the 1,200 guns returned by the troops are not only a shame for Panshan Machinery Factory, but it is probably the only one in the country.
Moreover, each Type 63 costs 400 yuan, and 1,200 guns are 480,000 yuan. Even if the troops do not hold them accountable, without this money, the entire factory will have to drink the northwest wind.
"Well, the problem has been discovered and solved." Liu Tao nodded.
"Great!" Wang Tiezhu showed a happy expression.
Liu Tao said in a deep voice: "But Director, the problem has been solved, but the Type 63 rifle is not optimistic."
"What do you mean?"
Everyone looked at Liu Tao, very puzzled.
The problem of the Type 63 automatic rifle has been solved, isn't that good?
"There are many problems with the design of the Type 63 automatic rifle itself. Even if it is produced according to the design drawings, there are still problems with accuracy and frequent failures." Liu Tao said.
"The previous batch of guns had such a big quality problem. On the one hand, our factory did not control the quality well, and on the other hand, there are problems with the design itself." Liu Tao said confidently.
Wang Tiezhu glared, "How is it possible? This Type 63 automatic rifle has been produced in millions across the country. How could there be a problem with the design?"
The Type 63 automatic rifle was developed in 1959, the design was finalized in 1963, and it was put into mass production and equipped to the troops in 1969. In nearly 20 years, millions of rifles have been produced. At that time, a factory with 10,000 people received the task of producing hundreds of thousands of Type 63 automatic rifles per year.
Even the Panshan Machinery Factory has produced tens of thousands of Type 63 automatic rifles in recent years, all of which are piled up in the warehouse.
The planned production price of a Type 63 automatic rifle is 400 yuan per rifle. If 5 million rifles are produced, it will cost 2 billion yuan. The design problem means that the 2 billion yuan is wasted.
"I made these guns, and I improved this gun." Liu Tao said: "You can go to the shooting range and shoot, and you will know."
"Let's go, everyone take the gun, let's go to the shooting range to shoot." Wang Tiezhu said.
Then, everyone took a Type 63 automatic rifle and went to the shooting range.
At the shooting range, in addition to Liu Tao and others, five soldiers were called over.
Everyone took the automatic rifle and aimed at the target.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang".
Start shooting, the sound of gunfire continues.
One by one, four magazines were fired, that is, 80 rounds of bullets.
Wang Tiezhu was still a little unsatisfied: "Good gun, much better than the 56 semi-automatic, Comrade Liu Tao, this gun is very good."
"Yes, I think the gun is very good too. I fired 4 magazines without jamming, and it is powerful." Tang Changzheng also thought that the gun had good accuracy. He hit the target with every bullet, and it was powerful.
"Director, try my improved one again." Liu Tao handed the automatic rifle in his hand to Wang Tiezhu: "This gun has a magazine of 30 rounds."
Wang Tiezhu smiled and said: "Your gun looks much better, but it won't be a silver-plated gun head, which is good-looking but not practical."
"Haha~~" Zhang Hongjun and others couldn't help laughing.
Liu Tao raised his eyebrows, "Director, appearance is combat effectiveness! My automatic rifle is much better than the 63 type. A magazine has 30 rounds, fast firing rate, high accuracy, improved stability and reliability, and a lifespan of 20,000 rounds."
"Come on, let me try!" Wang Tiezhu took Liu Tao's rifle, raised the gun and aimed.
Bang!
Pull the trigger, and the fire snake spews.
"Hey, the recoil is much smaller, and the gun is lighter." Wang Tiezhu was surprised: "The first shot hit the 3rd ring?"
Everyone couldn't help but look at Wang Tiezhu.
Hitting the 3rd ring with the first shot is incredible.
After all, it's a new gun, and it's just received. The feel is a little worse, and it's normal to miss the target.
What makes everyone feel even more incredible is that Wang Tiezhu hasn't finished a magazine, but he has already hit 10 rings.
Others also tried one by one, and each fired a magazine.
"Director, colleagues, I think it's impossible to wash away the stains on us if we only deliver qualified Type 63 automatic rifles, but with this new automatic rifle, it's different. I think it can be favored by the troops." Liu Tao said.
Others nodded and agreed with Liu Tao's words.
Sun Weihua said: "But we have 15,000 Type 63 automatic rifles in our warehouse, what should we do?"
"That's right, we can't waste them, that's 6 million yuan!" Zhang Hongjun also said.
Liu Tao thought about it and said: "I think this is easy to solve. The Type 63 automatic rifles with qualified quality can be given to the troops, and the troops can give them to the front-line soldiers or the militia."
It is impossible to destroy millions of Type 63 automatic rifles or pile them in the warehouse.
They can be used to train new soldiers or equip the militia.
China is too poor, and thrift is engraved in their bones.
A piece of clothing is sewn for three years and mended for three years, and then sewn and mended for another three years.
Not to mention weapons!
Besides, even if they are retired in the future, they can be supported overseas or sold to make money.
The Type 63 has defects, but it also has advantages.
For many places where even guns cannot be produced, it is also a good gun.
In the past, there were quite a few, at least hundreds of thousands, to support the monkeys.
Unfortunately, the ungrateful wolves are now jumping up and down.
"We can produce a few first, and ask the superiors and the troops to test the guns. If the effect is good, we can produce small batches first. As for the Type 63 automatic rifles in the warehouse, we can check and maintain them at the same time, and when the troops need them, they can be shipped to the troops immediately." Liu Tao said.
To be honest, Liu Tao has been prepared in his heart, that is, the automatic rifles in this warehouse also have quality problems.
However, even if there are quality problems, the rectification time will probably only take one or two months.
"So, Comrade Liu Tao, you will be responsible for small-scale production first, and write a report, and I will report to the superiors." Wang Tiezhu pondered for a moment: "Produce 1,200 guns first."
Zhang Hongjun, Sun Weihua and others were surprised. They didn't expect Wang Tiezhu to be so bold. He didn't produce a few sample guns first, but directly produced small batches.
If the superiors and the troops didn't have this idea, these guns would be in the hands of the factory itself.
Everyone will have to starve to death at that time.
"Everyone knows guns. Everyone should have a deep understanding of the excellence of this gun. Since this is the case, we should have confidence in it." Wang Tiezhu said in a deep voice: "Be bolder and take bigger steps."
Wang Tiezhu knew that his decision was very risky.
But he still decided to take a risk. First, the gun gave Wang Tiezhu a good experience. As a veteran, he thought it was a good gun. Second, he had confidence in Liu Tao.
