"Captain Lu, the recoil of this gun is greater than any firearm you have used before. Do you think you can find something to cushion the soldiers' blows? After all, we have to ensure safety first." Xu Jianguo said to Lu Jian.
"You are really thoughtful, I will prepare it now!" Lu Jian said.
A moment later, Lu Jian came back with a few cotton pads, which he handed to two soldiers, asking them to place the pads behind the butts of their guns before shooting.
After arranging everything, Lu Jian and Xu Jianguo stood behind the two men and said, "Second round of sniper rifle test, ready!"
After hearing the order, the armed soldier pulled the bolt, and then, imitating Xu Jianguo's previous actions, put his eyes on the sight.
"Adjust your breathing and be ready to fire at any time!" Xu Jianguo also spoke.
With a "bang" the gun went off and the soldier pulled the trigger.
His body trembled due to the huge recoil of the sniper rifle, but he did not move. Instead, he continued to stare at the scope, looking forward to the result of his shot.
When he saw the bullet he had fired hit the target, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he looked extremely happy. Then he stood up and shouted, "Report, shooting completed!"
"Well done, just wait!" said Lu Jian.
"yes!"
"Report one, report one, the score is six rings, the score is six rings!" At this time, the voice of the target announcer came from the walkie-talkie again. After hearing his own results, the soldier did not feel frustrated or dissatisfied. Instead, he felt happy because he hit the target 600 meters away.
Xu Jianguo then said, "This is your first time using a sniper rifle, so the result is acceptable. However, I still hope you can improve your performance as soon as possible. This thing will become a nightmare for the enemy on the battlefield in the future."
"Yes!" the soldier answered seriously.
"Captain Lu, let's start the next round. You are an expert in leading troops. I will go see the leaders." Xu Jianguo said with a smile.
"Okay, don't worry. I promise that the guns you designed will not be left to gather dust." Lu Jian said with a smile.
When Xu Jianguo arrived at the observation seat, the place had already been tightly surrounded by people from the General Staff and the Jingzhou Weapons Research Institute. Standing outside, he could only hear occasional sighs from the crowd.
Xu Jianguo did not go forward to join in the fun, but stood quietly outside the crowd waiting until someone noticed him, and then everyone took the initiative to make way for him.
Su Dingshan looked at Xu Jianguo, smiled and waved, saying, "Jianguo, come here quickly and take a look at this thing!"
Xu Jianguo walked over quickly and found an iron plate on the table where everyone was gathered. He asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Chief, what is this?"
"Haha, this is the backboard for the target paper. Look, the hole on it is the masterpiece of your shot just now." Su Dingshan said with a big laugh.
"What? You mean, I shot this just now?" Xu Jianguo asked in surprise.
"Nonsense, who else could it be but you?" Ma Guoliang said.
Xu Jianguo touched his nose and said, "It seems that the power of this gun is not bad!"
"It's more than just working. Not only is it powerful, but it's also highly accurate. Our enemies are going to suffer now!" said Su Dingshan.
After hearing his words, everyone smiled. There was pride, happiness, admiration, and even bitterness in those smiles.
At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out from the crowd: "Commander, wouldn't it be better for a talent like Xu Jianguo to go to the Weapons Research Institute? After all, we have the most professional staff there."
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and found that the speaker was the director of the Jingzhou Weapons Research Institute, named Xue Guoqiang. He was also one of the people with the highest position among those who came to the Binhai Base this time.
When Ma Guoliang heard this, he immediately widened his eyes like copper bells and looked at him with a bad face, and the others also showed disdain to this guy.
"We are all experienced Chinese medicine practitioners, who doesn't know this folk remedy?"
"It's disgusting. Just because someone has achieved something, they want to poach them!"
Several people from the General Staff in the crowd sneered at Xue Guoqiang's shameless behavior, so they whispered without any concealment.
As for the other people from the Jingzhou Weapons Research Institute, although they didn't say anything, their faces were also unhappy. Everyone felt that the way this man ate was too ugly and was simply bringing shame to their institute.
At this time, Mr. Su Dingshan smiled and said, "Your Jingzhou Weaponry Research Institute is full of talented people, and you don't need someone like Xu Jianguo. Besides, we can't send all the good seedlings to you. Balanced development is still necessary."
Xue Guoqiang listened to the discussion in the crowd and wanted to refute it, but when he heard Su Dingshan's words, he knew that his little thoughts had been seen through, so he smiled awkwardly and said, "Commander, you are right!"
"Okay, stop gathering here and continue watching the test!" Su Dingshan said.
"Yes!" After everyone agreed, they returned to their seats.
At this time, the 600-meter shooting test had been completed, and the 800-meter fixed target test was underway, and the shooters had been replaced by other soldiers.
As time went on, the entire sniper rifle test was officially completed at four o'clock in the afternoon.
At this point, the two new weapons designed by Xu Jianguo were officially approved by everyone in the General Staff and the Jingzhou Weapons Research Institute.
When Ma Guoliang announced the end of the test, everyone surrounded him, took out their notebooks and threw out the questions they had recorded.
This sudden scene caught Xu Jianguo off guard. He quickly looked to Ma Guoliang for help, but he didn't expect that his commander acted as if he didn't see anything and followed Su Dingshan towards the jeep.
Xu Jianguo glanced at them, curled his lips in frustration, and turned to the crowd, saying, "Everyone, please be quiet and listen to me. You have too many questions, and I can't answer them all at once. How about this? I'll ask our commander tomorrow and we can find a time to hold a meeting. You can all prepare your questions in advance. Each person can ask no more than three questions, and I'll answer them all. How about that?"
"Okay! I'll do as you say!"
"Yes, this is a good opportunity for everyone to prepare in advance and ask the questions they want to know most."
"Yes, and we've been exhausted all day. We should go back and rest early. Only when we have enough energy can we work better."
Everyone started talking at once, and all agreed with Xu Jianguo's proposal. After a while, these people followed the logistics personnel of the Binhai base and left the shooting range.
