After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 213, Episode 0221: Identity Revealed
The father and daughter chatted and laughed, and soon arrived at the test site.

Having learned from the experience of blowing up a wall last time, this time the test site for the timber gun was no longer a closed courtyard, but rather a section of the huge training ground was fenced off.

The handles are no longer made of wooden planks, but of large stone slabs that are a meter thick and wide.

Those unusual fixed grips of varying distances seemed strange to those who had never seen the power of a sniper rifle. Well, modern firearms technology isn't advanced, and their power is just so-so. Even the most advanced foreign weapons use wooden grips, which are sufficient. So, the one-meter-thick stone slab grips didn't impress anyone; instead, they seemed absurd.

Influenced by their ingrained mindset, it's impossible for them to believe that the power of a bullet requires such a fixed method without seeing it for themselves.

Ning Yuanqun pulled Huo Han to hide in a corner, staring at the various fixed objects of different heights and distances in the distance. Unlike some people who were disdainful or eager to watch the show, he had his brows tightly furrowed, as if he was contemplating some important decision.

"If I apply now, do you think we can be allocated priority after mass production begins?"

Huo Han frowned slightly. Hearing this, he didn't answer directly, but asked in a less than friendly tone, "We haven't even tested the guns yet, how can you believe that our sniper rifles are really as powerful as the rumors say?"

Ning Yuanqun paused for a moment, then gave him a light tap on the back, saying, "Although Lao Leng and I are currently competing, we've known each other for decades. Back when we were just greenhorns, we were in the same platoon."

“I know Lao Leng’s character well. No matter how much he loves his daughter, he would never falsify something like this. He understands the importance of the country before his family better than anyone else.”

"Don't test me. I know you're upset by what those people said. Don't blame them; they just don't understand Xi'er's abilities."

A group of scientists working on gun-making huddled together, none of them believing that a sniper rifle could cause an explosion. When they heard that the person who developed the sniper rifle was actually the daughter of Leng Zhi, many of them thought it was a huge lie, a way for Leng Zhi to make his daughter famous.

but···
Ning Yuanqun's face darkened, and he said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "There's something wrong here. Xi'er is Lao Leng's daughter, how did they know about this? Most importantly, Xi'er was the one who developed the sniper rifle, so how was that leaked?"

"If we hadn't overheard something when we passed by them just now, we wouldn't have known about this at all."

Like Leng Zhi, Ning Yuanqun is also a prominent figure of this generation in the Ning family, receiving the most resources. Apart from confidential information, nothing can be kept from him.

After learning that a divine artifact had appeared in the Northwest, he, like Lao Zheng, naturally wanted to collect it for his own army as soon as it was mass-produced.

However, he knew even better that the Northeast Army Corps would likely not receive the first batch of artifacts after they were mass-produced, since their war was already over and the Northwest was the place in dire need, because the Northwest bordered both countries and was still in conflict.

Even though I understand it in my heart, I'm still unwilling to give up. Who wouldn't want something good? I'd be happy to get even a few if I had the chance!
Therefore, Ning Yuanqun not only inquired himself, but also asked the Ning family in Beijing to inquire about who the researchers of Sniper Uncle were.

If a developer were to ask, would it be possible to get one or two?
Unable to find out anything no matter how they inquired, Ning Yuanqun learned that the developer's confidentiality level was very high and that he was highly valued by his superiors, so it was not something they could inquire about casually.

So he quickly withdrew all the people who had inquired, and only asked his old father to shamelessly ask the Second Elder for a chance to visit the wooden gun.

In other words, Ning Yuanqun had no idea that Lin Yuexi, whom they knew, was the developer of the sniper rifle before he arrived at the experimental site.

Ning Yuanqun also noticed that apart from the group of scientists gathered together, the others were probably unaware of who the developer was. Like them, the expressions on their faces changed after they heard that the developer was Leng Zhi's daughter.

Huo Han looked up and glanced in one direction. "They've made their move over there." Ning Yuanqun followed his gaze and saw Zheng Weiguo walking towards him with an unhappy expression. Behind Zheng Weiguo was the silhouette of a soldier running away in a hurry.

Ning Yuanqun quickly went over and whispered, "Old Zheng, what's going on here? Xi'er's identity is supposed to be highly confidential, how did it turn out like this?"

Zheng Weiguo did not answer immediately, but glanced indifferently at the area where the researchers were. Exclamations were already coming from there, and Ning Yuanqun and the others also looked in that direction.

A group of soldiers rushed in, quickly apprehended the two young men, and then swiftly left.

Okay, I got it!
As for the affairs of other military units, it's naturally not appropriate for outsiders like them to interfere.

Ning Yuanqun laughed and changed the subject: "Where's Lao Leng? It wasn't easy for me to come all the way to the Northwest. He didn't even offer to treat me to a drink. It's a bit much that he hasn't shown up at all."

Zheng Weiguo also laughed and said, "Old Leng's daughter is here. She heard that we were about to try out the new gun and was curious to come and see. Old Leng went to pick her up."

Oh, I see. They're experts at keeping secrets.

Not only do they understand, but everyone who hears it understands.

Everyone seemed to have forgotten what had just happened, and they started chatting idly, including the researchers. Not one of them mentioned who the developer was again.

When Leng Zhi brought Lin Yuexi over, this was the scene that looked completely fake no matter how you looked at it.

However, neither of them paid any attention. Leng Zhi summoned the guards and ordered them to start testing the guns.

Logically speaking, those qualified to visit today must be people of a certain status, either leaders of a certain army or researchers of a certain research institute. Leng Zhi should at least give everyone some face and perform a formality first.

But what could he do? He was a doting father, and coincidentally, he learned on the way here that these people were badmouthing his daughter behind her back.

When his daughter was only four and a half years old, the Second Elder had already set her confidentiality level as top-level. Did he need to fake it to make her famous?

They're all scoundrels.

If everyone knew that he actually thought this way about them, they would have lined up and each of them would have given him a punch. However, Leng Zhi was too good at pretending, and at this moment, everyone's attention was no longer on the formalities, but was focused on the soldiers carrying long-barreled sniper rifles and running forward in an orderly fashion.

Their eyes burned with excitement. Putting aside the range and power of this sniper rifle for now, just look at it, damn, it's so cool. The metallic texture is incomparable to those from abroad; it's not even in the same league.

What's most dazzling is that it actually has 'invisibility'!
Metal that should be highly reflective under sunlight actually appears to have nothing on the soldiers' backs.

A middle-aged man with four pockets slapped his thigh and punched the person next to him several times, drooling with excitement, "It may have a short range and low power, but I still want to get one and take it back."

This sniper rifle is so cool! If you haven't seen it, fine, but once you see it, what guy wouldn't want to own one?!
