The next morning, before the morning mist had even dissipated, Zhou Weiguo had already driven his car and rushed to the factory.

Yesterday afternoon, Chief Engineer Song called him personally to inform him that the goods he had ordered had arrived at the factory. This news excited him so much that he couldn't sleep a wink all night. He just stayed up all night, and in the end, Natasha saw that he really couldn't sleep, so she dragged him and they had a couple of fights before he finally made it to morning.

Upon entering the workshop, Zhou Weiguo rushed into his small office.

What comes into view are three boxes, two large and one small, placed on the table.

His eyes lit up, and he grabbed a crowbar from the corner of the wall and started opening the box.

With a crisp "click," the first large box was pried open.

Zhou Weiguo looked closely and saw that it contained 10 RPG-7 conventional armor-piercing rounds, neatly fixed in a wooden frame.

It must be said that their arsenal is quite professional; the detonation devices were placed separately to the side and were not installed.

He carefully picked up an armor-piercing bullet, examined it closely, and found that it was almost identical to the ammunition he had hand-crafted and sent. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, and his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Weiguo opened the second box.

It was filled with about 20 small boxes. He casually opened one of them and took out the ammunition to compare.

These are 12.7×108 mm special sniper rifle rounds. Although the workmanship is slightly rougher than the sample I sent, the overall quality is acceptable.

He couldn't help but sigh, "It's good to have a powerful backer! All I had to do was give a heads-up to Commander Song and have someone send over a sample bullet without gunpowder, and the goods arrived."

In the last box, three springs of three different models were neatly stacked, perfectly meeting his requirements.

Just as Zhou Weiguo finished inspecting the goods, Dashan and Erniu walked into the office one after the other.

Da Shan, still holding half a steamed bun in his hand, saw Zhou Weiguo and said in surprise, "Master, you've come so early today, am I dreaming?"

Zhou Weiguo laughed and scolded, "Get lost. If you want to be taught a lesson, just say so. Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with you. Dashan, go find Brother Zhang and ask him to bring a few people to help. Erniu, take out all the parts you made before from the cabinet."

The two quickly put down the buns they were holding; one ran out of the workshop, while the other turned and went into the inner room.

Before long, Zhou Weiguo moved all the parts for the PKM general-purpose machine gun, the OSV-96 large-caliber semi-automatic anti-material sniper rifle, and the RPG-7 rocket launcher to the large table in the research and development workshop.

At this moment, Brother Zhang led a dozen soldiers running in, panting heavily.

"Hey bro, what's up? I brought a dozen guys, is that enough... Holy crap."

Before Brother Zhang could finish speaking, his gaze was drawn to the gun parts on the table.

He stared wide-eyed at the ridiculously thick gun barrels, stunned for a long while, before finally asking, "What have you come up with this time? Those barrels are so thick, are you building cannons?"

Hearing the commotion, several college students who were researching tractors in the R&D workshop also gathered around, curiously examining the parts on the table.

Zhou Weiguo smiled and reassured him, "Brother Zhang, don't worry! Let's assemble the parts first, and then I'll explain everything to you slowly."

Brother Zhang nodded, signaling the soldiers to form a circle and block the researchers who were watching.

Zhou Weiguo didn't really care; they were all his own soldiers anyway, so what difference would it make?

He then asked, "Brother Zhang, does anyone in your squad have a history of artillery service?"

"Of course! Zhou Dapao!"

A loud response came from afar, and a burly man with dark skin rushed in.

Zhou Weiguo looked closely and chuckled: "Isn't this the black guy guarding the gate? So your name is Zhang Dapao!"

He picked up the blueprints beside him, pointed to the boxes containing armor-piercing shells, and said to Zhang Dapao, "Take these blueprints, find a secluded spot, and assemble these RPG shells. Be careful!"

Zhang Dapao looked bewildered and asked in a thick Chang'an accent, "Engineer Zhou, what's your company? What's the deal?"

"RPG!" Zhou Weiguo raised his voice.

"Second batch of chickens? Engineer Zhou, that's a really strange name! Calling something this small a chicken is ridiculous, it might as well be called a 'broken cowardly chicken'!"

Zhou Weiguo shook his head, amused, and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, alright, get back to work. I can't explain this to you!"

Brother Zhang, who was standing to the side, was laughing so hard he couldn't straighten up, slapping his thigh and panting.

Zhou Weiguo then pointed to the 100-round drum magazine of the PKM general-purpose machine gun and said to Brother Zhang, "Go find some 7.62mm bullets and fill the drum magazine."

Brother Zhang casually instructed a soldier to do it, but his eyes lit up as he stared intently at the parts on the table, unable to look away.

Zhou Weiguo ignored him and focused on the assembly work.

This assembly was much more complicated and slower than before.

By the time he finally assembled the PKM general-purpose machine gun, the OSV-96 large-caliber semi-automatic anti-material sniper rifle, and the RPG-7 rocket launcher, half an hour had passed.

Brother Zhang excitedly circled the PKM machine gun, occasionally sneaking a hand to touch it.

Seeing this, Zhou Weiguo said helplessly, "If you want to play, then play. Don't act like a child."

Brother Zhang grinned and said, "I'm just afraid of breaking your precious gun! Weiguo, quickly tell your brother about this gun. I like big guns like this, they look so cool! What's that long stick you're holding for? It doesn't look as impressive as this gun."

"You're saying this is a fire poker?" Zhou Weiguo waved the RPG in his hand.

"Exactly! It's just a long stick, is it some kind of magical artifact?" Brother Zhang said matter-of-factly.

Zhou Weiguo, too lazy to explain, pointed at the OSV-96 and asked, "What do you think of this gun?"

"Haha, you want to test me again? This looks similar to the sniper rifle you made last time, it must be a sniper rifle too!"

"This is called a large-caliber semi-automatic anti-materiel sniper rifle, but the name hasn't been officially finalized yet. Guess how far it can shoot? And what targets can it engage?"

Brother Zhang thought for a moment, then tentatively asked, "That last gun could hit 1000 meters, so can this one hit 2000 kilometers?"

Zhou Weiguo nearly choked, then said with a wry smile, "You actually guessed right! This gun has an effective range of 2000 meters and a maximum range of 2500 meters. The PKM you have has an effective range of at most 1000 meters and a maximum range of 1500 meters, and even that's limited by materials, so it's hard to say if it can even reach that range. Once Natasha develops the new materials, all these problems will be solved. How about that? Impressive, right?"

Unexpectedly, Brother Zhang looked puzzled: "You don't seem to be bragging, but this gun doesn't seem very useful! At over two thousand meters, even with binoculars, you can't see the target clearly. With our 4x scope, I struggle to see even one thousand meters!"

These words left Zhou Weiguo speechless for a moment.

Indeed, the highest magnification of gun scopes currently available in China is 4x, which is incomparable to the 15x scopes of later generations.

But he refused to admit defeat and immediately retorted, "Hitting someone 2000 meters away is a bit difficult, but what about hitting a tank 2000 meters away?"
