"Okay." Du Peng looked at Li Xin's worried expression and nodded in agreement.
The equipment are all necessary items. Now that Li Xin has also joined the research institute, it’s okay for him to come and take a look.
"Come with me." Du Peng took her inside.
The research institute is very large and has many rooms. In addition to storing equipment and instruments, some are also used to store weapons and equipment, etc.
"There is a special room here, which is used to store the equipment that the troops will use on missions. It is convenient to check it in advance before the mission. Generally, it will be prepared one month before they go on the mission, and will be checked half a month before and before departure. When the mission comes, it can be used directly." Du Peng introduced to her as they walked.
Li Xin nodded, thinking that this was a good idea. They could store them separately and there would be no need to worry about problems caused by taking the wrong equipment.
This room was at the innermost part of the institute. Du Peng took the key and led her in.
There are many shelves in the room, on which are piled some pistols, bullets and other things that are used in daily life. These are also taken with them when going on missions, not just the modified submachine guns.
The submachine guns have not been delivered yet, so the room looks a bit empty, leaving some space for them.
The shelves are all numbered, and not far away there is a notebook hanging with inspection records on it.
The last record was just a few days ago. Although Du Peng just said that there will be fixed inspection times, looking at the records, there will also be routine minor inspections.
In addition to these, there are things like bulletproof vests and sabers on the shelf on the other side.
When Li Xin saw this, he immediately walked over, picked up a bulletproof vest and observed it in his hand.
The bulletproof vest felt very heavy in Li Xin's hand, and it weighed down his hand so much that he almost couldn't pick it up.
She reached out and knocked on the bulletproof vest. It was the hard type of bulletproof vest. It was not only heavy but also uncomfortable to wear because of the restraint. It felt like armor and was very bulky.
The fabric is not good either. It's like a steel plate is stuffed inside. It has a bulletproof effect, but the recoil force is quite strong.
If you get shot, it can provide protection, but your movements will be hindered and the recoil force will also cause you to be injured.
However, in this era, this bulletproof vest is still very good, and it will take until the 1990s for there to be a bigger breakthrough.
"These are all brand new and were made not long ago." Du Peng walked up and said to Li Xin while looking at the bulletproof vests.
Judging from the look on Du Peng's face when he looked at these bulletproof vests, he was very satisfied with them.
"But it's too heavy. It would be better if it could be lighter." Li Xin put the bulletproof vest back in his hand and shook his head.
This type of bulletproof vest has been eliminated in later generations. Fighting with heavy loads is a test of the soldier's physical strength, which requires very strong training.
"A bulletproof vest must be able to fire bullets, so how can it be too light?" Du Peng retorted. With today's technology, it is impossible to achieve the lightness that Li Xin mentioned.
In their eyes, this bulletproof vest is already very good.
Du Peng picked up a bulletproof vest and took it apart in front of Li Xin, explaining it to Li Xin as he did so.
"This thickness is already the thinnest that can be achieved at present. All the places that can be reduced have been reduced. It is already very light compared to before." Du Peng finally said.
In front of Li Xin, he tried his best to prove how light the bulletproof vest was, but after holding it in his hand for a short while, he put the bulletproof vest back on the shelf.
Holding it in your hand for a long time really tests your arm strength and it's hard to hold it.
Li Xin thought about the bulletproof vests of later generations. They have been divided into many types. There are flexible bulletproof vests, which are lighter and not bulky to wear, but their bulletproof ability is a little worse.
In general combat situations, people wear hard and flexible bulletproof vests, and a ceramic plate is stuffed inside the clothes to provide better bulletproof protection.
Ceramic plates are specially made and can slow down the attack power of bullets to a certain extent. Compared with steel plates, their bulletproof effect is no worse, and they don't even have such a strong recoil force.
Li Xin felt that even if ceramic panels could not be made now, they could start with the fabrics.
As long as ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibers are made and dozens of layers of fiber fabrics are combined with other fabrics, when a bullet hits the bulletproof vest, the fibers are stretched and the impact force of the bullet can be dispersed to other fibers in the fabric, thereby reducing or eliminating the damage.
This is why flexible bulletproof vests are bulletproof.
"It's not that there is no solution." Li Xin muttered, thinking that if this fiber could be researched, this flexible bulletproof vest could still be made.
"Do you have a solution? Tell us now!" Du Peng's eyes lit up when he heard Li Xin's voice.
In his opinion, Li Xin is a genius. If she said there was a way, she must have thought of something.
Du Peng was even a little impatient and wanted to see the finished product immediately.
"No... I mean I have an idea, but I'm not sure if it will work, so I can only give it a try first." Li Xin didn't say anything definite.
"Just give it a try. This is a research institute, isn't it a place for research?" Du Peng said nonchalantly.
Li Xin nodded. She felt much more relieved after hearing Du Peng's words. Her eyes swept across the bulletproof vest, and she became more determined to make a new type of bulletproof vest.
Since He Beichen and his men were able to fight while carrying such heavy bulletproof vests, if the weight could be further reduced, they would be more flexible and would definitely be of greater help to them.
"I saw a device before that should be able to be used. Can you take me to have a look?" Li Xin turned to Du Peng and said, his eyes unintentionally becoming much firmer.
"Okay." Du Peng naturally agreed.
Li Xin followed him to the place where the equipment was stored, and indeed saw the usable equipment. With this, the chance of success was greatly increased.
"Do you have any ideas? Maybe I can help." Du Peng asked, seeing the excitement in her eyes.
Inexplicably, he felt like he might be about to see something incredible come to light, and he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.
"Can you help me prepare some materials? It shouldn't be difficult to get." Li Xin and Du Peng listed some of the materials they needed. It shouldn't be difficult to find in this era, but the quantity required would be relatively large.
"No problem! I'll get it for you!" Du Peng nodded in agreement as soon as he heard it.
Although Li Xin never said what she wanted to do, Du Peng felt that it was not ordinary after listening to these materials.
