3: Anti-tank rocket launcher
In Xu Ning's dormitory, Tang Ziwei stood with her hands behind her back and said coldly, "Speak, what do you want?"
She deliberately put on this face to make the other party back down from difficulty.
But Xu Ning, having lived two lives, how could he be fooled by the panic deep in her eyes? He said with a grin, "What do you think? Back then, we made a military pledge, and you personally said you'd let me handle it."
As he spoke, he slowly pulled the curtains shut.
Tang Ziwei could no longer remain calm and said in a panic, "What do you want to do? I warn you, don't mess around."
"How could I mess around? I'm just seeing if Commander Tang obeys military law."
"Of course I obey military law."
Tang Ziwei directly pulled out the gun from her waist and slapped it onto the table with a bang. "Come on, shoot me. Let's end it all. I will never yield to your dirty thoughts."
Xu Ning pretended to be surprised and said, "What dirty thoughts? You must have misunderstood? I just want you to help me with a very small thing, just using your mouth."
"Really?"
Tang Ziwei put away her gun, half-believing, half-doubting.
"I just want you to call me 'Good Brother' every time you see me from now on..."
"You should just shoot me."
Tang Ziwei slapped the gun back onto the table, looking like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water.
As a dignified Commander, she would never do such a shameful thing, even if it meant death.
"This won't do, that won't do, you can't handle a game." Xu Ning shook his head with a smile. "Forget it, I was just scaring you. Don't be so nervous. I just wanted to tell you not to rely on subjective assumptions when doing things, but to look at objective facts. I'm leaving."
He hadn't originally intended to do anything to her, just scare her a bit to stop her from being so arrogant.
"You stop right there!"
Tang Ziwei blocked his path, her face changing unpredictably, turning red then pale.
Xu Ning thought she was going to shoot him and said cautiously, "Don't be impulsive, guns can easily misfire."
Suddenly, Tang Ziwei lowered her head and kissed him on the cheek, saying with a blush, "I, Tang Ziwei, admit defeat when I gamble. I'm not a sore loser. We're even."
After speaking, she turned and ran out the door.
Xu Ning touched his face, stunned for a long time, and muttered, "Was it too fast? Did she actually kiss me or not... But it smells nice."
Thinking of her moist and warm lips, Xu Ning's heart fluttered, and he suddenly remembered that he was still a damn virgin.
"Sigh... Why am I so unlucky?"
He left the dormitory building with a cheerful face and found that Tang Ziwei hadn't left yet, still studying the batch of light machine guns in the workshop.
Seeing Xu Ning walk over, she was somewhat flustered, but pretended to be calm and said, "The guns are very good. I'll take a batch of samples for the higher-ups to see. When there's funding support, the factory won't have to worry about materials."
Xu Ning knew she cared about face and didn't mention the previous incident again. He nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble Commander Tang. As long as there are enough materials and manpower, our Military Factory will definitely develop. Not to mention being the strongest in the Northwest, we'll even surpass the Central Military Industry then."
"As long as you can surpass the Central Military Industry, I..." Tang Ziwei stopped herself just as the words were about to come out. "I will definitely fight for more room for you to develop with the higher-ups."
After speaking, she waved her hand and said, "Come here and look."
Xu Ning followed her to the table, where a bomb model was placed.
"This is a time bomb copied from abroad by the Jin-Sui Logistics Department. Its power is very great, capable of destroying tank tracks. In another month, there will be a military industry competition. Our Northwest Logistics has been lagging behind for years, and we can't lose again this year. This light machine gun will definitely allow us to secure a place."
Tang Ziwei became excited as she spoke. She was a competitive woman, and just thinking about how the light machine gun would shine in the national military industry competition made her heart beat faster.
"This time, we must take first place."
She clenched her fist and slammed it heavily on the table.
"Can this piece of junk also be entered into the competition?"
Xu Ning dismantled the bomb model and looked at it, shaking his head. "It's too simple. I could make this thing with my toes."
Tang Ziwei scolded, "Don't boast. This is the latest research achievement and can play a big role on the battlefield. Do you think you can compare with others just by making a light machine gun?"
"Of course not. Just this machine gun isn't enough. If you want to get first place, get me some more materials. I'll invent an anti-tank grenade that's comparable to foreign goods and is guaranteed to crush other Military Factories."
"You have a new invention?"
Tang Ziwei's eyes lit up instantly. "Is it reliable?"
She was still a bit skeptical. For a university student, inventing this kind of machine gun had already consumed a lot of energy. The manufacturing technology for anti-tank grenades had not been conquered domestically yet and mainly relied on imports. If this invention was really developed, the Northwest Military Industry would definitely be astonishing, and might even cause a stir in the world.
Xu Ning said with a smile, "You don't believe it? What if I make it? How about we make another bet?"
Tang Ziwei remembered the loss she had just suffered and said fiercely, "Don't even think about making another bet with me. At worst, I'll treat you to a meal."
"Forget about eating, why don't you kiss me again? Because I think you're beautiful enough to eat." Xu Ning leaned his head over and said in a low voice.
"You want to die!"
Tang Ziwei glanced behind her in a panic and slapped him hard on the head. "What are you thinking? I'm not interested in a kid like you. Stop dreaming."
"Sigh, never mind then. I'm so sad, I'm not in the mood to make grenades anymore."
Xu Ning covered his heart, feeling disheartened, and kept shaking his head and sighing.
"Alright, we'll talk about it then."
Tang Ziwei glared at him in annoyance, turned around and walked towards the door. When she reached the doorway, she stopped again and instructed, "Work hard for me and make the anti-tank grenade in half a month."
"Absolutely."
Xu Ning winked and made faces at her, leaving Tang Ziwei speechless for a moment.
After leaving, she covered her hot face and adjusted her mood before getting into the car. The guard asked curiously, "Commander, what's wrong with your face? Is it hot?"
"It's nothing, drive."
Tang Ziwei returned to her cold and serious demeanor, but her heart was already in a mess.
Xu Ning hummed a tune and wandered around the factory, while also bringing up his information panel.
Since yesterday, the system had been constantly notifying him of military industry points being credited. All the bullets and firearms produced would be converted into military industry points for shopping in the item mall.
[Name: Xu Ning]
[Level: 2 (Apprentice Factory Director)]
[Military Industry Points: 40650]
[Bound Equipment: Northwest 316 Military Factory]
[Military Factory Level: F (Click to enter real-time status of factory equipment)]
[Item: One Lottery Card]
[Blueprint Bay: None]
"Lottery Card?"
Xu Ning knew that he would receive a lottery card every time he leveled up, so he immediately clicked to use it. A huge turntable appeared before him. With a thought, the turntable spun rapidly and finally stopped slowly, pointing to one of the areas.
"J-10 Blueprint!"
Xu Ning's eyes widened. This thing had strong combat power and wasn't manufactured until the late 1990s. How could a broken Military Factory like his possibly make it? The hardware wouldn't allow it!
For now, he still had to take the first step steadily.
He opened the item mall and after looking for a moment, chose to purchase a set of anti-tank rocket launcher blueprints for 40000 military industry points.
This was much better than anti-tank grenades, with a longer range and greater lethality.
On the Eagle stick battlefield, Eagle Country mainly relied on tanks. If he made tens of thousands of anti-tank rocket launchers, one for each soldier, he could make them spit blood.
