The sentence "why" was like a bolt from the blue, shocking all the technical backbones present.

The Type 50 automatic rifle can be said to be the most proud product of Baiyun Factory, not only because it has been well received by the troops, but more importantly, this gun is completely designed and manufactured independently by Baiyun Factory.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Type 50 automatic rifle is the business card of Baiyun Factory. While it is remembered by people, it also established an unshakable leading position in the Chinese military industry.

However, it was such a product that everyone at Baiyun Factory was proud of, but Bai Yi's words completely peeled off the glamorous coat, revealing its ugly and mottled foundation.

Shock, panic, confusion, all kinds of emotions kept flashing on the faces of the technical backbones, and finally gathered into strong disbelief, fixed on Bai Yi on the stage.

"Don't look at me like that!"

Faced with everyone's unbelievable doubts, Bai Yi's response was a bit simple and crude, but full of force: "Some people may say that as long as a gun can shoot bullets, it is a good gun. As for other things, they are secondary. After all, on the battlefield

The huge consumption is something that no one can avoid.”

As soon as these words came out, a few people in the room nodded in agreement. Even Wang Dehua, deputy director of the drawing room who had participated in the development of the Type 50 automatic rifle, looked deeply convinced.

In fact, the low reliability of the Type 50 automatic rifle in actual combat has been fed back to the Baiyun Factory as early as the installation awareness. There are also relevant improvement plans and plans for this. However, the Baiyun Factory simply does not have the appropriate materials and processes to fundamentally implement it.

to solve the overall structural strength.

Therefore, the relevant improvement plans could not be carried out. Coupled with the huge consumption caused by the tragic war, the Type 50 improvement plan was eventually shelved.

But it is precisely because of the consumption of war that many people have the idea that enough is enough. After all, in the face of the scourge of war, instead of thinking about how to extend the life of equipment, it is better to settle down and produce a few more usable rifles.

.

As a result, under the guidance of this kind of thinking, the improvement plan of the Type 50 was completely forgotten in the corner. If Bai Yi had not mentioned the Type 50 automatic rifle today, it is estimated that many people here would not remember that this model was given to Baiyun Factory.

The flagship product that has brought countless glory still has unavoidable flaws.

Because of this, some people lowered their heads in shame, but more people had disapproval on their faces. It was a joke that small automatic rifles could no longer represent the strength of Baiyun Factory. Only artillery, tanks and even higher-end aircraft could.

It is the real endorsement of Baiyun Factory in the future.

In this case, there is nothing more to say. I quickly posted this article and put all my efforts into high-end and high-end heavy equipment. So as soon as Bai Yi finished speaking, a technical backbone stood up and responded.

: "Chief Bai is right. The Type 50 automatic rifle does have flaws, but in the face of high-intensity warfare, the huge consumption is enough to offset the insignificant flaws."

"Yes, yes, didn't the new Soviet expert say that real war is a bottomless pit? If a third world war really breaks out, the lifespan of existing weapons and equipment will not even last a week."

"Even if we put aside the huge consumption of the war, we should not spend any more money on automatic rifles. After all, our Baiyun Factory should focus on more advanced heavy equipment. As for light weapons like the Type 50, other brother factories can take over.

."

"That's right, it's time for our factory to break free from the shackles of major firearms manufacturers!"

"Yes, yes, developing heavy equipment is the right direction..."

…

Driven by that technical backbone, the discussion in the venue suddenly started. I can't wait for the Baiyun Factory to produce a complete set of aircraft and cannons in the next second, realizing the mechanization of the Chinese army!

But is this really possible?

The answer is naturally no. Since it is no, then Bai Yi has nothing to be polite about, so before the discussion is over, Bai Yi shouts: "Quiet!"

Immediately, he glanced at the whole audience coldly and said in a stern tone: "You are so blindly arrogant and so ambitious!"

This sentence was like a muffled thunder, which immediately caused everyone in the venue to fall into silence. Surprise, hesitation, confusion, secret anger, and a trace of unspeakable unwillingness were all reflected on everyone's faces the moment these words fell.

The flashing, unpredictable, and momentarily ugly.

However, Bai Yi didn't even bother to look at the reactions of everyone present. He placed the tea cup in his hand heavily on the table in front of him and made a muffled "dong" sound: "The ancients said, how can you sweep the world if you don't sweep a whole house?

What I want to say today is, if a military factory cannot even make a gun, how can it make good aircraft and cannons?"

"The answer is obvious, absolutely not!" Bai Yi said, and the big hand that was lying on the table hit the table hard, like those powerful words, echoing deep in everyone's hearts: "The reason is very simple, firearms

The mechanical structure and material selection can be regarded as a relatively simple type of equipment in the military industry. Not to mention other things, but as far as steel is concerned, general alloy steel can be used in firearm manufacturing.

But what about artillery? Can we use something like this? Then I can tell you clearly that under the huge high temperature and pressure of the artillery, the barrel you make will definitely be blown off; and the armor on the tank has its strength requirements.

The requirements are as high as those for gun steel. Can the current Baiyun Factory produce it?"

"We can slowly research gun steel, but we have no successful precedents in the field of tank armor. The additional armor on the improved T-34 is a good example. It does not use very good steel or expensive materials.

But it achieves a very strong defensive effect, isn’t this the right way?”

A technical backbone was a little unconvinced. He had participated in the research on additional armor. He had also participated in the damage assessment of the improved T-34 tank in the Imjin River Armored Battle City. Therefore, when Bai Yi talked about armor, he had some opinions.

.

However, Bai Yi smiled slightly: "Additional armor is very good, but why is it good? Didn't you discover a fact during your frontline research?"

"What fact?"

"Surprise!" Bai Yi said loudly: "Based on the experience of World War II, the enemy believes that armor-piercing bullets are the most effective anti-armor weapons, and our additional armor happens to be aimed at armor-piercing bullets. But what if the enemy uses their brand-new kinetic energy armor-piercing bullets?
