Chapter 178 Research and Development of Specialized Individual Equipment
"Dear leaders, I have a request."
Qi Tongwei said.
"Oh? You tell me. We will try our best to satisfy you as long as we can." The leader smiled.
Qi Tongwei nodded and said, "Before the fourth-generation aircraft starts, I want to go to the arsenal that produces individual weapons to develop a set of special individual equipment. I need your help to contact the arsenal."
"As you know, I'm from the Special Forces. But right now, I don't think the individual combat equipment we have is good enough to fully meet the demands of future wars."
"Therefore, in order to enable special forces members to exert greater combat effectiveness, complete their missions well, and have strong enough self-defense capabilities, I believe it is necessary to improve the performance of individual equipment as much as possible."
Upon hearing this, the leaders all showed surprise. "No, you also study individual weaponry and equipment? Do you have knowledge of that area?"
Although the difficulty of developing individual weapons cannot be compared with air-dominating weapons such as fighter jets, it is also equivalent to another subject to be comprehended.
They didn't expect that Qi Tongwei could cross fields.
Qi Tongwei nodded. "I do have some thoughts of my own. Of course, this is also due to my frequent battles on the front lines, so I know what the soldiers on the front lines need most. This is also one of the reasons why I chose to continue to stay in the special forces."
The leaders looked at each other, but finally agreed to Qi Tongwei's request.
He immediately called the director of an arsenal responsible for producing individual weapons.
With their power and status, Qi Tongwei's request was just a matter of a phone call.
At noon, after having lunch with his leaders, Qi Tongwei drove off directly.
When we arrived at the arsenal, the director was already waiting at the door.
The factory director came forward with a smile on his face, shook Qi Tongwei's hand tightly, and said cheerfully, "Academician Qi, welcome! Academicians from the General Hospital are rare guests to our Arsenal. Your presence here today is truly a great honor to our humble home."
Qi Tongwei smiled and responded, "Director, you're too polite. I'm here to trouble your factory with something important."
The factory director quickly waved his hand and said, "What are you talking about? You are a great contributor to our national defense. If you have any ideas, please tell us. We will fully cooperate."
Qi Tongwei nodded and said, "Director, I want to develop a better set of special individual equipment. This is crucial to improving the combat capabilities of special forces. I hope to conduct research and development work in our arsenal, so I need a separate laboratory and a corresponding team of production workshop workers to cooperate with me in production."
Upon hearing this, the factory director said without hesitation, "That's no problem, Academician Qi. What our arsenal lacks the least is resources. Don't worry, we will definitely arrange the best laboratories and the most skilled team of workers for you."
"Thank you!"
"You're welcome! This is what we should do!"
The factory director then took Qi Tongwei on a tour of the arsenal until they arrived at a spacious, bright, and well-equipped laboratory. He said, "Academician Qi, this laboratory is now yours to use. We will fully cooperate with your work."
Qi Tongwei nodded with satisfaction.
At this moment, the factory director said again: "Academician Qi, we have also arranged an assistant for you. She also has some experience in weapons research and development. I hope she can help you."
As soon as he finished speaking, a young woman came over from the side.
The woman had neat short hair and clear, bright eyes that revealed a sense of intelligence.
She bowed slightly and said politely, "Hello, Academician Qi, my name is Lin Yue, and I will assist you from now on."
Qi Tongwei smiled and nodded, saying, "Thank you for your help."
After everything was ready, Qi Tongwei couldn't wait to start the research and development work.
In the laboratory, Qi Tongwei was lost in thought while looking at the design drawings. Lin Yue asked softly, "Academician Qi, where do we start?"
Qi Tongwei said calmly, "We'll start by upgrading and renovating the rifles, pistols, and sniper rifles commonly used by special forces."
After saying that, Qi Tongwei sat at the table in the laboratory, and the pen in his hand slid rapidly across the drawing.
Various scenes of special forces on the battlefield kept emerging in his mind. The fierce battles and dangerous environments made him have higher requirements for the performance of weapons.
Based on these practical experiences, he began to draw new structural drawings.
As for the rifle, he improved the material of the barrel while maintaining the original lightness, using a new type of alloy material. This material is not only stronger, but also can dissipate heat better, greatly improving the stability of the rifle's continuous shooting.
At the same time, he also optimized the rifle's aiming system and added an intelligent auxiliary aiming device, which can automatically adjust the aiming parameters according to changes in the environment, allowing soldiers to shoot more accurately in various complex environments.
Lin Yue looked at Qi Tongwei's design, his eyes sparkling with excitement. He said, "Academician Qi, the design of this intelligent assisted aiming device is amazing. How did you come up with it?"
Qi Tongwei smiled and said, "After participating in more actual combat, I'll get some inspiration. Of course, this is just the beginning. We need to continue to improve it so that it can better adapt to various extreme environments."
The design of the pistol focuses more on portability and concealment.
Qi Tongwei further reduced the size of the pistol while ensuring its shooting power.
Qi Tongwei put even more effort into the sniper rifle, increasing its effective range and improving the barrel length and rifling design to ensure a more stable bullet flight.
Lin Yue watched from the side, frowning and asking in confusion, "Academician Qi, I don't quite understand why simply improving the barrel length and rifling design can make the bullet's flight more stable? What's the principle behind this?"
Qi Tongwei raised his head and patiently explained, "This is because the change in barrel length affects the bullet's acceleration within the barrel, and the rifling design imparts a spinning force to the bullet, much like a gyroscope. This spinning bullet becomes more stable during flight, reducing deviation."
Lin Yue suddenly realized and said, "So that's how it is, Academician Qi, you have a wealth of knowledge in this area."
Qi Tongwei also installed a miniature meteorological monitoring device on the sniper rifle. This device can monitor meteorological parameters such as wind speed, temperature, and air pressure in real time, and transmit these parameters to the sight, allowing the sniper to adjust the shooting angle in time according to these parameters.
Lin Yue looked at the design of the sniper rifle and said excitedly, "Academician Qi, with this weather monitoring device, snipers can calculate various factors more accurately when shooting. This is simply a revolutionary design."
Qi Tongwei's eyes were filled with enthusiasm as he said, "Our goal is to create weapons that surpass previous ones, giving our country's special forces a greater advantage on the battlefield."
In the following days, Qi Tongwei worked closely with Lin Yue and the workshop team.
The workshop was bustling with activity, with workers carefully processing each part according to Qi Tongwei's design drawings.
Qi Tongwei shuttles between the workshop and the laboratory, strictly inspecting and debugging every part.
During the research and development process, Qi Tongwei also encountered some problems. For example, the new alloy material was difficult to process and cracks were easily formed during welding.
But Qi Tongwei did not give up. He led his team of workers to constantly try new processing methods and welding processes. After many failures and improvements, he finally found a suitable processing method and successfully solved the problem.
Finally, three days later, the first generation of improved and upgraded pistols, rifles, and sniper rifles were perfectly produced.
"Xiao Yue, take me to the gun inspection range of your arsenal."
Lin Yue was slightly surprised and asked, "President Qi, do you want to inspect the gun yourself?"
"The factory has people specifically responsible for inspecting guns and recording data. You don't have to go there yourself. You've been researching day and night these days, so you should take a good rest."
Qi Tongwei shook his head slightly, "I'd better do it myself. Only by shooting myself can I get a better understanding of the accurate data and feel."
Lin Yue nodded and immediately took the three latest guns to the gun inspection range.
