Chief Engineer Li Rong brought Su Chen to an independent " luxurious " dormitory suite that was 100 square meters.
On the roof of the dormitory, the windows were bright.
There was even a fan, refrigerator, black and white kinescope television, radio, water heater, and other electrical appliances. Many of them were imported.
Su Chen fiddled with these toys and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
It was indeed the 90s.
The television was still in black and white.
However, in the 1990s, it was hard to imagine that these electrical appliances were purchased first.
Compared to the standard dormitories of other employees, it was like heaven and earth.
"This was originally the dormitory assigned to Director Wang Yan of the factory a few years ago.
However, Chief Wang's wife lived near the factory and had a house.
His wife kept a tight watch on him. She went home every day, so the dormitory was always empty. No one else was qualified to stay there.
I'll just let you live there.
Only a few years ago, the factory had some orders from the military to buy such an electrical dormitory. He could not afford to spend this money now. Is this condition okay?"
Li Rong chuckled.
He was very fond of Su Chen, a national defense armament design major college student. He already had the intention to make Su Chen the new generation of design backbone of the Red Flag Military Factory.
The treatment in all aspects had to be kept up. Otherwise, it would be difficult to retain such a talent.
"Not bad!"
Su Chen was quite satisfied with this dormitory.
He placed his backpack on the table.
This place was not only a dormitory, but it could also be used as his own office for designing armaments without being disturbed.
"Chief Engineer Li, who is this young man?”
"He's so handsome. Are you married?!”
"Director Wang's house is vacated for this young man to live in?”
Around the dormitory, some workers were very curious and looked at Su Chen, the newcomer.
They were guessing who this new young man was to be able to stay in Director Wang Yan's dormitory.
"This is Comrade Su Chen, an armament design student from the Imperial National Defense University. Don't interrupt. Go away. Don't join in the fun here!”
Li Rong impatiently chased the crowd away.
...
Soon, the factory manager Liu Guoliang and the director Wang Yan arrived. They were very enthusiastic about Su Chen.
Li Rong gave Su Chen the best director's dormitory in the factory.
Liu Guoliang was obviously very satisfied with this arrangement.
Wang Yan naturally did not dare to have any objections.
The four of them sat down separately in the room.
"Comrade Su Chen! You're a recent graduate of the National Defense Design Department, so you must have some understanding of the most cutting-edge armaments.
In the past, our Red Flag Factory mainly designed, experimented, and produced all kinds of small and medium-sized pistols, automatic rifles, Type 56 submachine guns, and other firearms.
Do you have any new design ideas in this area?”
Liu Guoliang said eagerly.
He was a little anxious.
After all, the old state-run reform had given a death order. The Red Flag Military Factory only had half a year left to live and die. It was better to seize every day.
If there were no results, this factory would not be able to survive.
"When it comes to firearms, the global reform is almost unanimous.
The smaller the caliber of the gun, the lighter the body.
The bullets were also small and light. The recoil was small and the accuracy was stable.
The soldiers were lighter and could carry more bullets.
Moreover, the range of the small-caliber bullets was longer, and the lethality was almost the same, or even increased.
It could almost double his combat strength.”
"Yes, our Dragon Country has also begun to reform the small caliber, changing from 7.62mm to 5.8mm. The army has placed design and production orders with all the armament units.
There were a small number of Type 87 rifles, but their performance was unstable. The military was not satisfied and wanted to improve them.
Our Red Flag Factory also wants to bid. Let's have a sip of soup... The only thing missing was some technology and new design ideas.”
Li Rong said excitedly.
"There is no problem with the reform of the 5.8mm small-caliber firearm.”
Su Chen nodded slightly.
He often read military reference books, so of course he knew about this.
"However, have you thought about another problem?
Even if they could design a small-caliber gun, it would be too small. The competition between the various military factories in the country was too intense, and they all had their own design plans.
Our military is very frugal and stingy. We won't give any profits. Every factory will give some money to support them. Even if we get this order, we won't make much money.
Moreover, based on my judgment, the country is currently undergoing a period of military technology transformation. There is no money, so in the next ten years, they will only conduct small-scale experiments.
In the next ten years, there would not be many orders and high profits in the country.
I'll give this bit of mosquito meat to the other manufacturers.
We will jump out of the confines of the domestic arms market and directly enter the global arms market!”
Su Chen said calmly.
His confidence was not only because he had first-hand internal reference information.
It was also because he knew all the armaments from the 1990s to the 1920s. He knew what equipment was useful.
Huh?
Factory Manager Liu Guoliang, Director Wang Yan, and Chief Engineer Li Rong were a little confused.
The entire military market of the Dragon Country was still small?
Just a piece of mosquito meat?
Then wouldn't the Red Flag Military Factory be as small as a bacteria?!
"Comrade Su Chen, this foreign firearms market is indeed huge.
The problem is that our military industry is generally backward and we can't sell it at all!
Su Xiong's firearms accounted for 35% of the world's total, the bald eagle accounted for 40%, Northern Europe accounted for 15%, and even small countries like the Snake Kingdom accounted for 5%. There were too many powerful military factories in the world, and they almost dominated the entire arms market on the blue planet.
Our Dragon Country doesn't even have 1% of the global firearms market share. We only sell some old guns that have been in stock for decades at the price of scrap iron.
Up until now, there was no military factory in the Dragon Country that could step out of the country and compete with world-class manufacturers for advanced arms orders.”
Li Rong was a little anxious, afraid that Su Chen's design concept was too radical.
To design a new type of weapon, one needed to design, mold, produce a small amount of it, test it, and spend money on labor.
Once there's no sales,
That would be a terrible loss…The Red Flag Military Factory was about to die.
