Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 384 Times have changed
Bai Ling's thinking is not without reason.

After all, the Type 69 40mm rocket launcher looks quite ordinary from the outside.

At least Bai Ling didn't see anything wrong with it.

However, Bai Ling immediately denied this.

This is because this thing is different from the Type 81 and Type 67 wooden-handled grenades; one is something you can't bear to just throw away, and the other is something that's difficult to dispose of.

Apart from the aiming device and a few internal optical components, the Type 69 40mm rocket launcher is entirely made of metal!
In other words, there are no problems that are difficult to handle at all!

If you really don't want it anymore, or if it's outdated, just throw it into the steel furnace!
Just toss it in gently, and all the problems will disappear!

In fact, because it is a metal, it doesn't lose much in terms of value!
Despite this, later generations have persisted in not retiring it, allowing it to continue to be active in the weapons and equipment of the armed forces, continuing to shine and contribute!
What does this mean?
This shows that the Type 69 40mm rocket launcher must have some outstanding features!
Sure enough, Bai Ling only just realized everything in a flash.

Upon hearing that Bai Ling dared to be so disrespectful and look down on the Type 69 40mm rocket launcher, they were shocked.

Ximen Lang was immediately displeased!

"Look at what you're saying! You call yourself my woman, Lang-ge's woman! Is that all you've got? Is that all you've got? This is the famous legendary 40mm rocket launcher!"

"Do you even know what the word 'legend' truly means? And you call it ordinary! Seriously, even a short-sighted rat has a long-term vision compared to you!"

"No way, what's wrong with your eyes? The way you're doing this makes me embarrassed to say you're my brother Lang's woman anymore, do you know that?"

I don't know where Ximen Lang learned so many witty remarks, or if he is just naturally so mean.

After hearing those words, Bai Ling's face visibly flushed red!
Ximen Lang's mouth is truly sharp!
He was genuinely afraid that Bai Ling wouldn't be able to withstand Ximen Lang's sharp tongue and suppress the anger in her heart, thus starting a fight with him.

It was Lao Luo, who was both a father and a mother to his children, who quickly stepped forward.

He cleaned up the mess for Ximen Lang and smoothed things over.

"Ah Lang, Bai Ling didn't mean to say that. It's just that she didn't know the name of 40 Fire, right? Ignorance is no excuse, so don't talk to her like that."

He managed to calm Bai Ling down with just a few words, but as soon as the words left his mouth, he regretted them. Seeing that Bai Ling was about to explode with anger, Ximen Lang was filled with lingering fear.

Turning back to Bai Ling, who was nearly driven mad by Ximen Lang, Lao Luo quickly gave her a meaningful look and continued to persuade her earnestly.

“Bai Ling, you too. Since A Lang took out the 40 Fire so seriously, it must have something special about it! How can we be so arbitrary in judging it by its appearance? That’s not good.”

After much persuasion, they finally managed to stop the disturbance.

Then, not daring to delay, Lao Luo quickly steered the conversation back to the main topic and humbly sought advice from Ximen Lang.

"Don't laugh at me, Ah Lang, rocket launchers are really a rare thing for us."

"Although we tried to replicate a batch of rocket launchers captured on the battlefield in 51, to be honest, the replicated Type 51 90mm rocket launchers really did not meet our requirements."

"Compared to the original American M20 88.9mm rocket launcher, it's worlds apart, a far cry from it!"

"So, what exactly is this 40 fire? Can you explain it to us and broaden our horizons?"

Ximen Lang had the same idea.

Especially after Bai Ling got so angry with herself that her face turned black.

Simon Lang was even more eager to produce professional data to shut Bai Ling up.

Therefore, without any hesitation, Ximen Lang immediately began to introduce them to everyone.

"Speaking of the Type 69 40mm rocket launcher, it's truly remarkable! Although this rocket launcher is also a copy, the fact that we still have a small number in service today should make you understand just how excellent our improvements have been!"

"First, let's look at the structural design. What was the original RPG-7 like? It was just welded together! It was so rough, you couldn't even describe it, and it wasn't durable at all! But look at ours, it uses a cold-shrink design!"

"Good heavens, it's incredibly durable! Decades have passed, and look at it, not a single thing has happened, it's still as good as new! In addition, we also equipped the rocket launcher with a bipod, and added texture to the heat shield, which greatly enhances the shooting stability!"

"Secondly, there's the performance of the ammunition! The original version used direct black powder, which not only has low energy but is also very susceptible to temperature fluctuations! But look at ours, it's a proper double-base propellant! Both the rocket's launch speed and its armor-piercing power are significantly improved!"

"Finally, and most importantly! That is, the aiming! What was the original like? A piece of garbage scope that combined aiming and sighting, at most it could only magnify 2.7 times, and that was it, it was a joke."

"But what about ours? Not only has the magnification increased significantly, but it also has practical functions such as range finding, velocity measurement, and crosswind correction, which greatly improves shooting accuracy!"

"In summary, I'm faster than the original, more accurate, and more stable! The original was already top-notch, and with our upgrade, how good do you think it will be?!"

Even so, Ximen Lang hasn't mentioned its remarkable achievements on the battlefield!

If we were to present these achievements...
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it's the No. 1 rocket launcher!

Even so, Bai Ling and Lao Luo immediately changed their attitudes, making a 180-degree turn and completely reversing their views on 40 Fire.

"I've explained all the advantages of the 40 Fire skill to Bai Ling and the others," Ximen Lang said regretfully.

"Of course, we've also considered further upgrading it on this basis, adding all the cutting-edge technologies we have to it! So that it can continue to shine in its role in a better and newer way."

"In fact, we have indeed developed the PE-89 series rocket launcher, which is better and more powerful! In terms of performance, if we don't say it completely crushes it, we can at least say that it is greatly improved and represents a qualitative leap!"

"But unfortunately, times have changed! As I just mentioned, this is a powerful tool for guerrilla warfare. In other words, it was specifically designed for guerrilla warfare!"

"And what about us? We no longer need to resort to guerrilla warfare to try and gain favorable conditions for ourselves."
