At noon, Xiao Du brought lunch back. Li Xin distributed lunch to everyone, and there was nothing to do after they finished eating.
Seeing that the sun was shining brightly outside, she moved two chairs out, lay down on them, and basked in the sun leisurely.
Next to it was the health tea she had been drinking recently, which was placed in the thermos cup He Beichen gave her. Once it got warm, she would take a couple of sips, which was so comfortable.
The sunlight was a bit strong at noon, but Li Xin didn't want to be exposed to the sun directly. There were two big trees planted in front of the institute, so she hid under the shade of the trees.
The institute is not very busy recently, and everyone takes a lunch break after dinner.
Not long after, Li Xin suddenly saw a soldier wearing camouflage uniform and holding a gun in his hand, walking towards the research institute.
His destination was the research institute. He was fiddling with the gun in his hand as he walked, looking very anxious.
But if I wasn't in a hurry, I wouldn't have run to the research institute during lunch break.
"Hey, little brother, what's going on?" Li Xin saw him coming and called him at the door of the institute.
Li Xin was still wearing her research uniform from the research institute. Even though she had taken it home and had Sanmao alter it for her, it was still a little big.
Although she had put down her health tea and sat up, the soldier had just seen her lying there doing nothing, like a salted fish.
"Um... my gun is broken. It won't fire." Seeing that she was from the research institute, the soldier responded, "I need help."
After saying that, the soldier raised his foot and was about to walk into the research institute, but was stopped by Li Xin again.
"Give it to me, I can read it too." Li Xin said to him.
Isn't she right here? There's no need to run in to look for her.
At the same time, she was also observing the gun in the soldier's hand. This was not even the latest AK74, but an AKM that was much older. Judging from the degree of wear and tear on the gun, it could be seen that this gun had been used for a long time.
It is normal for a gun like this to have some problems. After all, it is not like when He Beichen and his team are on a mission, where they are regularly inspected by their research institute.
The young soldier looked young and looked at Li Xin. Everyone in the army knew that there was a woman in the research institute, and she was He Beichen's wife.
Although he knew that she was powerful and had developed a new type of bulletproof vest, she was still a woman after all, and a girl who was younger than him. How could she know anything about guns? She might even have never touched one.
Especially since he had just seen her holding a thermos, drinking water and basking in the sun, looking like she was on vacation. He didn't quite trust Li Xin, and looked hesitant, not handing over the gun.
"Well...sister-in-law, I'd better go in and look for other people." After a long while, he shook his head and still refused Li Xin.
He felt that Li Xin was not very reliable, so he wanted to find a male researcher to help him look at the gun.
"You've used this gun for too long. Gunpowder residue has accumulated, affecting its external trajectory. This pressure is then transferred to the internal trajectory, causing excessive muzzle pressure. This problem is easy to fix. Just disassemble it completely and clean it."
Li Xin stood up as she spoke. She was able to come to this conclusion based on the questions the soldiers had just raised and her observations.
However, the more specific situation still needs to be known after a careful inspection. After all, she does not have X-ray eyes that can see through the inside at a glance.
She walked forward, took the gun from the soldier and examined it carefully.
The soldier was still in shock over what she had just said and hadn't reacted enough to try and grab the gun. He was surprised that she could point out the problem before even checking the gun.
"It's not a big problem. The main issue is that the gun has been used for too long and the excessive fireworks reaction has caused the barrel to soften. This is a very common problem and you can just replace the barrel. There are also some minor problems with the ballistics and it needs to be disassembled and repaired." Li Xin didn't disassemble the gun. He fiddled with it in his hand for a few times and he already knew where the problem was.
Guns are like people. Over time, they can develop minor problems, so regular maintenance is necessary, but these old guns have obviously not been inspected regularly.
"How about this, you wait here for me, I'll go in and get a new barrel and come out." Li Xin handed the gun to him, pointed to the chair where he had just been lying, and walked into the research institute to get something.
In the research institute, all the parts of these firearms are fully equipped, making it convenient for researchers to replace them when conducting weapon maintenance.
Li Xin quickly got out a new gun barrel. The young soldier's face was still filled with surprise. He stood there like a petrified man, looking the same as when Li Xin left.
She walked over and sat down on the chair next to him. After taking the gun from him, she disassembled it skillfully.
As a relatively famous gun, she had studied AKM a lot in her previous life, not to mention that she had received a simulation model from Du Peng before.
Li Xin acted quickly and disassembled the gun in a short while. The minor problems he had discovered before could be fixed by adjusting and cleaning a few small parts.
It took her a short while to finish it. She removed the old barrel, skillfully assembled the gun again, and replaced it with a brand new barrel. Her speed was no slower than that of the soldiers who often touched guns, and she didn't even pause in the middle.
The soldier standing next to Li Xin was stunned. With such proficiency, he would have believed that Li Xin handled a gun every day and was almost as skilled as him!
Thinking about how he just thought Li Xin was a woman who might not even have touched a gun, his distrust of her made him feel embarrassed.
Fortunately, I didn’t say anything excessive just now, otherwise I would be slapped in the face now!
"Your gun is too old. Not only the outside, but even the inside is severely worn. Even after it is repaired this time, I'm afraid it won't be long before problems arise again. People have to retire when the time comes, let alone guns? It's time for your old buddy to retire. Report as soon as possible and get a new partner!" Li Xin returned the repaired gun to him.
There was no bullet in the gun, but the soldier still tested it in his hand. Even though he couldn't see it, he could feel the feel and sound, and knew that there was no problem with the gun.
"I will, thank you, researcher." The young soldier spoke respectfully, acknowledging her identity as a researcher from the bottom of her heart.
He felt ashamed of his previous doubt. Li Xin not only had the skills, but was also able to help him repair the gun.
The most important thing is that what she said just now showed that she knew about guns, and she even called his gun "partner".
The soldier looked at her with a gleam in his eyes, and felt respect and understanding from Li Xin's words.
She is worthy of being the daughter-in-law of Deputy Captain He. Deputy Captain He is so lucky to have such a daughter-in-law.
"No need to thank me, go back. Come back if you have any questions." Li Xin waved to him with a smile. She felt the subtle change in the soldier's attitude towards her, and she was also very happy.
She sat there, took a sip of her health tea, and after the people left, she lay back in the chair.
