Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

Ordinary accusations can't bring down Qin Yang, after all, he's too capable: excellent technology, first-class foreign trade ability, and good relationships with various domestic military factories. All the leaders value Qin Yang highly, and even the old leaders strongly support him.

Adding to that the backing from Qin Yang's wife's side, if you want to bring down Qin Yang, it can only be with a major crime like treason, something no one can protect Qin Yang from.

At this moment, hearing Pan Xibao say this, Zhang Quan fell silent. This label can't be casually applied. This is equivalent to tearing up all pretenses. Even if they can bring down Qin Yang, how will they be able to continue in the military industry in the future? So many factories have benefited from President Qin!

Wang Shan immediately shook his head: "No, absolutely not. President Qin has made huge contributions to the development of our country's military industry. How could he possibly sell out the country? This is just a dispute over technical routes. Xiao Pan, how can you bring up selling out the country? You have impure motives!"

"I have impure motives? I'm doing this for our institute! Our Prairie Metal Materials Research Institute has no projects anymore, and we're about to be unable to pay out benefits. I'm racking my brains to think of solutions for our institute, running around doing all the work. Things you don't consider, I have to consider. And you, Engineer Wang, you actually suspect me? I'm the sinner of our institute, and that President Qin is the benefactor of our institute, isn't he? Hmph! A good deed wasted on an ungrateful wretch!"

Pan Xibao was very angry. After saying these words, he turned and left.

"Hmph, if there are no benefits, then there are no benefits. Back then, we couldn't even get enough to eat, but we still did our jobs. Now, even if there are no benefits, there's still a basic salary," Wang Shan said. "To slander others for your own benefit is absolutely not allowed!"

Zhang Quan sighed: "Engineer Wang, the situation in society is changing! Those who make atomic bombs are not as good as those who sell tea eggs. Whoever earns more money is respected more. If our institute can't pay out benefits, those with ability will probably be poached away."

"Let them go, let them go. The great wave washes away the sand. Those who are only interested in money are not suitable for research at all. Those with impure motives should be kicked out even more," Wang Shan said, suddenly realizing something. "You're tempted by Pan Xibao's suggestion?"

"It's not about being tempted. In the current situation, if our institute wants to turn things around, there aren't many options."

"Hmph, if you dare to do that, then don't expect me to look up to you in the future! I despise you!"

Zhang Quan sighed again: "Alas, Lao Wang, times are different!"

Under the same night sky, Qin Yang walked back to Fangbei Company with tired steps. Seeing Nie Xiaoqian still working at her desk, he was a little curious: "Haven't you finished yet?"

"Yeah, all the backlogged work has been processed. I'm writing a report. After I finish writing it, we'll..."

Qin Yang glanced at the manuscript, then grabbed Nie Xiaoqian's hand, pulled out the pen, and slammed it on the table with a 'pa' sound: "No need to write it."

"Brother Yang, this is a necessary wrap-up. It's to prevent someone from making an issue out of this matter."

"I've already talked to Old Huang about this matter. Old Huang attaches great importance to it and insisted that I write an explanation, and it has to be 10,000 words! It hurt my wrist. Old Huang also wants to take the materials I wrote to show to the higher-ups," Qin Yang said. "You don't have to worry about me. It was originally a project to fool people. What kind of waves can anyone make?"

"Okay, Brother Yang, you're always very cautious. I was overthinking it," Nie Xiaoqian nodded. "Old Huang is really good to you."

This night was very peaceful, and this night seemed very intense.

The next day.

"President Qin, you've finally come to our workshop again. Are you going to show us your skills again this time!" Zhang Guoqiang was very excited. "What are we developing this time?"

In the past, everyone dared to call him Yangzi casually, but now they automatically changed their address. Qin Yang is doing more and more important things, and the respect in the eyes of those who watched Qin Yang grow up is increasing. Zhang Guoqiang is Zhang Chao's father, so he is even more grateful and respectful to Qin Yang.

"Uncle Zhang, just call me Yangzi, it's too formal to call me President Qin," Qin Yang said. "The army wants to squeeze our potential again, asking us to increase the penetration depth of the armor-piercing projectile by another third."

"Okay, President Qin, you lead the project, and we'll assist you."

Qin Yang was helpless and stopped correcting their addresses. He continued, "Our liquid phase sintering technology is already very mature. Now, when we forge the penetrating rod, we need to add some special materials and perform multiple precise cold and hot treatments..."

The self-sharpening of depleted uranium projectiles is due to the continuous shedding of the projectile tip. Tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectiles can also follow this idea: develop new tungsten alloy materials with adiabatic shear sensitivity.

This has to be done in two aspects. One aspect is to improve the material, adding some special fiber composite materials to the liquid phase of the tungsten alloy, so that the tungsten alloy can naturally peel off layer by layer. The other aspect is to perform multiple cold and hot treatments during forging, so that the crystal cells of the crystals in each part of the projectile core have differences, so that when penetrating armor, the outer material can break, revealing the sharp inner material.

It sounds simple, but it's difficult to do. It requires many attempts. I don't know how many times it will fail before a suitable material and process can be found. This is like Edison inventing the light bulb, experimenting with various materials to finally find something suitable as a filament.

However, for Qin Yang now, this is not a problem, after all, these things are all in his mind. Three days is more than enough for him.

Just as Qin Yang was planning to go all out, Zhang Chao rushed in: "It's bad, it's bad, Yangzi, a few guys in uniform came with documents stamped with red seals, looking for trouble with you!"

Before Qin Yang could speak, Zhang Guoqiang was annoyed: "Such a small matter, do you need to come to President Qin? Chaozi, you're too cowardly, aren't you? How do I have such a disappointing son?"

Zhang Chao was scolded by his father and didn't dare to answer back.

"We just produced a batch of small-caliber rifles on the production line, and they haven't been tested yet. Chaozi, go to the warehouse and get a hundred of them, and call the security department!"

A few guys in uniform want to take Qin Yang away? What a joke, although we don't have airplanes or aircraft carriers here, we have all kinds of army weapons! A few guys in uniform, with a few broken Type 54 pistols in their hands, not even worthy of being fire pokers, dare to come to the 960 factory to act wild?

"Okay," Zhang Chao turned to leave.

"Come back, what are you doing?" Qin Yang said, "Do we need to make such a big show? We have to cooperate with the work of the guys in uniform! Chaozi, you lead the way, I'll go out and meet them!"

"President Qin!"

"It's okay. You others continue to prepare, I'll be back in a while."

Watching Qin Yang and Zhang Chao leave, Zhang Guoqiang swallowed: "Our factory has just modified a batch of tanks, let's drive a tank over!"
