After taking a sip of tea, the two of them couldn't help but look at each other, their faces full of surprise.
It stands to reason that for people in their position, especially Su Dingshan's level, it is not difficult to drink some good tea on a daily basis, but the tea brewed by Xu Jianguo today gave them a feeling they had never experienced before.
The aroma of tea was secondary. More importantly, when the hot tea entered their stomachs, they both felt a warmth spreading throughout their bodies, which was extremely comfortable. Their bodies, which usually felt tired in the afternoon, were now full of energy.
Su Dingshan's feeling was even stronger than Ma Guoliang's. As he suffered from stomach cancer, he would feel stomach discomfort for a while after every meal. Today was no exception. But after drinking the hot tea, the uncomfortable feeling disappeared instantly, replaced by a long-lost feeling of comfort.
"Boy, what kind of tea is this?" Su Dingshan asked.
"Grandpa, the tea is just ordinary black tea. What's different is the water!" Xu Jianguo said.
"Oh? What's the difference?" Su Dingshan became interested and asked.
"Before, I took a leave to take my sister to see a doctor, and I accidentally helped a master a little bit. This water was given to me by him. According to him, this water is rootless water made from snowflakes falling on plum blossoms. Making tea with this water can help prolong life." Xu Jianguo talked nonsense seriously.
After listening to this, the expressions on Su Dingshan and Ma Guoliang's faces did not change, but they were sighing in their hearts that Xu Jianguo really had too many secrets.
However, the two of them had no intention of digging into the matter. To use Su Dingshan's previous words, as long as this kid did not harm national interests or violate national laws, then they should not interfere with him and should give him as much convenience as possible. So far, what this kid did had never disappointed them.
Half an hour had passed when they put down their teacups. Old Master Su Dingshan seemed to be reluctant to leave, and when he looked at Xu Jianguo, he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Xu Jianguo looked at the old man's expression and said with a smile, "Old man, I brought back a few jars of water this time. Take them with you when you return to Jingzhou. Drinking this water regularly is definitely good for your health!"
When Su Dingshan heard this, his eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "That's great, you're so thoughtful!"
"Old chief, are we going to the shooting range now?" Ma Guoliang asked.
"Okay, let's go!" Su Dingshan said.
When they arrived at the shooting range, Dong Jixiang, deputy commander of the Binhai base, was already waiting there with Lu Jian and others. When he saw Su Dingshan get off the car, he hurried to greet him.
"Report to the chief, the sniper rifle test is ready and can start at any time!" Dong Jixiang raised his hand to salute and spoke.
After Su Dingshan returned the greeting, he said, "Thank you for your hard work. Let's get started!"
"Yes!" Dong Jixiang answered.
After greeting Xu Jianguo and Su Dingshan, he walked up to the staff in charge of ordnance management, took the sniper rifle and magazine they handed over, and then walked towards the shooting position.
At this time, Lu Jian was already waiting there with two soldiers. These two were the soldiers with the best shooting performance in the entire Binhai base. According to Ma Guoliang, they must master the shooting skills of sniper rifles as soon as possible.
"When Lieutenant Colonel Xu is operating later, you two should study hard and try to master the shooting method of the sniper rifle in the shortest time possible!" Lu Jian said to the two soldiers.
"Captain Lu, please stop praising me. I have never used a sniper rifle before. At best, we are just learning from each other." Xu Jianguo said with a smile.
"Hehe, don't be so modest, kid. Anyway, I'm leaving these two soldiers in your care, so you have to teach them well!" Lu Jian said.
"Okay, don't worry!" said Xu Jianguo.
After Lu Jian left, Xu Jianguo said to the two soldiers, "Sniper rifle shooting is different from the firearms you usually use. Because of its higher shooting accuracy, it is usually used for long-range shooting. Therefore, many factors that affect the bullet need to be considered, such as wind speed, humidity, and temperature. Of course, I don't know much about these, so you will need to slowly explore them through use."
"Yes!" the two soldiers answered.
Xu Jianguo nodded and did not continue speaking. Instead, he lowered his head and pushed the magazine into the gun. Then he lay on the ground, pulled the bolt, and began testing in a prone position.
The first round of testing of the sniper rifle used a fixed target at a distance of 600 meters. Xu Jianguo used his shoulder to support the butt of the rifle and put his eyes close to the scope. When the cross in the scope was aligned with the center of the bull's eye, he gradually slowed down his breathing.
The purpose of doing this is to reduce the ups and downs and shaking of the gun body caused by breathing, thereby improving shooting accuracy.
Su Dingshan, Ma Guoliang and others sat in the observation seats, holding binoculars in their hands, their eyes fixed on the target 600 meters away.
As his breathing became slower and longer, Xu Jianguo's index finger slowly pressed towards the trigger.
With a "bang", a gunshot rang out, and Longxia Country's first domestically produced sniper rifle was officially launched.
When Xu Jianguo pulled the trigger, the huge recoil had no effect on him at all. At this time, he was still holding his breath, his eyes fixed on the target in the sight. He did not exhale the turbid air in his chest until the bullet hit the center of the bull steadily.
The target backboard this time was made of a three-millimeter iron plate, and the target paper was fixed to the iron plate with clips, so when the bullet hit the center of the bull's eye, everyone in the observation seat also heard the reflected sound.
Su Dingshan and Ma Guoliang, who were holding binoculars, couldn't help but look at each other when they saw the sand splashed up from the pile of earth behind the target, with horror in their eyes.
"Report to Dongyao, report to Dongyao, the score is ten rings, the score is ten rings!"
As the target report came from the walkie-talkie, the people at the scene burst into warm applause again.
"Hahaha, good!" Su Dingshan laughed and slammed the table in front of him. Then he said to Ma Guoliang, "Have someone send the target back. I want to see the power of this thing!"
"Yes!" Ma Guoliang agreed, then got up to make arrangements.
Xu Jianguo also made way and said to one of the soldiers beside him, "Come on, you try it first. The target is still 600 meters. Pay attention to regulating your breathing. It's best to hold your breath at the moment of shooting..."
He told the soldier some of the precautions he had taken when shooting just now, then stood up and found Lu Jian who was standing next to the observation seat.
