4: Simply insulting you

The things in this item shop are really expensive.

Xu Ning couldn't help but exclaim, a single set of blueprints costs tens of thousands of military factory points, and some more powerful ones are even more expensive, like the J-10 blueprints he was rewarded with, which require a million military factory points.

As for physical items, they are even more expensive, some precious metals, equipment, etc., often cost tens of millions of military factory points, and hundreds of millions are considered cheap.

"Let's get the rocket launcher equipment first."

Xu Ning immediately made a list and had Old Wei start procuring the relevant equipment.

This time, not only do we need to increase the steel for manufacturing firearms, but we also need related machinery and equipment for manufacturing rocket launchers, the most crucial of which is the manufacturing of rocket-propelled grenades, which requires the use of shell manufacturing machinery.

Fortunately, Tang Ziwei was resourceful, and in just half a month, she had all the materials ready.

Xu Ning modified them according to the blueprints and finally built the first anti-tank rocket launcher three days before the Military Factory Competition.

"That was really not easy!"

Xu Ning placed the rocket launcher on the stand and at the same time received a system prompt:

[Ding, congratulations on successfully building the anti-tank rocket launcher.

Your level has been upgraded to Level Three, and you are rewarded with one lottery ticket.]

Xu Ning was about to draw the lottery when Tang Ziwei's voice came from outside: "How is the progress today?"

She came almost every day these past few days to check on the progress.

After entering, she immediately saw the dark green rocket launcher and instantly froze, her breathing becoming rapid.

"It's successful?"

She looked towards Xu Ning, who shrugged and said: "We haven't test-fired it yet.

Commander Tang, why don't you give it a try?"

"Okay!"

Tang Ziwei directly hoisted the rocket launcher onto her shoulder, strode to the test-firing range, and without hesitation fired a shot at the stone that had been shattered by the machine gun earlier.

"Don't, don't do that... Lie down quickly!"

Seeing that she had already fired the shell, Xu Ning quickly rushed forward and pushed her to the ground.

Boom!

After a loud bang, the stone that was originally there had long since disappeared, leaving only a large pit on the ground.

The guards and Old Wei who rushed over from behind were all sent flying by the violent airwave.

One of the guards even had his cheek scratched by stone fragments; a few more centimeters off and he might have lost his life.

He shakily climbed up from the ground, covering his face and saying: "What happened?

Did a landmine explode?"

Tang Ziwei also sat up with a blank look, looking at the rocket launcher in her hand, and wondered: "Isn't this an anti-tank gun?

Why is it so powerful?"

"I was just about to say..."

Xu Ning spat out the sand in his mouth and said: "I put TNT explosives in here.

It can not only counter tanks but also destroy important enemy fortifications.

It's a good thing I didn't put steel pellets in, otherwise, we'd all be finished today.

Next time, can you please listen to me finish?"

"You really are..."

Tang Ziwei was speechless.

What decent person uses TNT to make rocket-propelled grenades?

However, this thing is so powerful, putting it on the battlefield would definitely be a human killing machine.

She seemed to already be able to see the future of this rocket launcher.

"We're definitely winning this Military Factory Competition!"

Tang Ziwei excitedly slapped Xu Ning on the back, "I knew you could do it.

I'll treat you to dinner tonight, treat everyone to dinner!"

Just then, a three-wheeled motorcycle drove up from a distance.

A soldier waved at her and shouted: "Commander Tang, a Regimental Commander Huang from Taiyuan is looking for you."

A young man got out of the sidecar and smiled as he waved at Tang Ziwei.

"It's him again!"

Tang Ziwei showed a hint of displeasure on her face, looked at Xu Ning, and reached out her hand saying: "Come with me."

Xu Ning subconsciously reached out his hand and was pulled up from the ground by her, then they walked forward side by side.

Their intimate actions were seen by the young man, and his face instantly darkened.

Xu Ning knew he was being pulled along as a shield and asked: "Is this person your competitor?"

"Mhm."

A few strands of hair brushed against Tang Ziwei's cheek, revealing her stunning beauty in profile.

Even with a slight frown, her face was exquisitely charming.

"He's a Regimental Commander from the 65th Division, named Huang Wei.

He's fought several tough battles and is a hothead.

Although he's only a Regimental Commander, he wishes he could take over the affairs of the entire division and demands that the whole brigade improve combat readiness."

"The whole brigade?"

Xu Ning stroked his chin and said: "He's managing things so broadly, that means his background must be quite powerful, right?

However, competition in military equipment is also a good thing, it can quickly improve our army's combat effectiveness."

"Don't you think you're saying too much?"

Tang Zi gave him a glare.

As they talked, they had already walked up to him.

Huang Wei looked Xu Ning up and down a few times before forcing a smile at Tang Ziwei: "Wei Wei, long time no see, how have your preparations been recently?"

"Very good."

Tang Ziwei said with a professional fake smile.

"Oh right, look at the treasure I brought for your regiment this time!"

Huang Wei swaggered as he pulled out a document bag from his satchel, saying mysteriously: "This is something good I got from a friend studying abroad.

It can definitely help the Northwest military industry develop.

This small broken factory is no good.

Why don't you transfer to North China?

That's where you can truly shine."

Tang Ziwei opened it and looked.

It turned out to be a stack of blueprints.

Xu Ning only glanced at it and lost interest.

What was drawn on it was actually an older model of machine gun than his own Negev machine gun.

"Thank you for your gift, but I'm afraid my regiment doesn't need it anymore."

Tang Ziwei returned the document bag, and the smile on Huang Wei's face instantly froze.

"Wei Wei, the Military Factory Competition is coming soon, don't you want to win the championship?

This was designed by a friend of mine who is studying abroad in the West.

It's definitely cutting-edge weaponry and guaranteed to secure you a place in the Military Factory Competition."

"Let me introduce you."

Tang Ziwei pulled Xu Ning to her side and said: "This is the new Factory Director of our 316 Military Factory.

He will lead us to win the championship in this Military Factory Competition."

Huang Wei immediately laughed and shook his head, saying: "Wei Wei, we are colleagues on the same front.

How could I not know the capabilities of this small broken factory?

They even jam when producing bullets.

You are the most capable Commander among your peers.

I hope you can consider the bigger picture!"

Tang Ziwei chuckled softly: "Regimental Commander Huang, I know you are dedicated to serving the country, but I trust our Factory Director Xu to produce the best weapons for our division, and he can lead us to victory in this Military Factory Competition!"

Seeing Tang Ziwei's serious expression, Huang Wei finally looked directly at Xu Ning, but still couldn't help but sneer, "Just this young kid, he just graduated, right?

What can he do?

Can he make bullets or not?

Wei Wei, stop being willful, listen to me and keep these blueprints."

Xu Ning took the blueprints and looked at them, chuckling: "Regimental Commander Huang, being patriotic is a good thing, but you also have to be realistic.

This obsolete stuff on your blueprints was given to you by others ten years ago because they didn't want it.

Don't treat it like a treasure."

"What did you say?"

Huang Wei's face changed, and he said sternly: "Comrade!

You need evidence when you speak.

You say this is obsolete stuff, can you make any advanced weapons?

Go, go, go, go play elsewhere!"

Xu Ning said indifferently: "The firearm designed in the blueprints is an improved version of the MP40 submachine gun.

The caliber has been expanded to 10mm, increasing its lethality.

The magazine capacity has been forcibly expanded from 32 rounds to 64 rounds.

If my calculation is correct, the rate of fire should be 700 rounds per minute."

"It's good that you know!"

Huang Wei's opinion of this bookworm changed somewhat; he actually calculated the power of the weapon in the blueprints right away.

"The old MP40 was commonly known as the 'Hiccup Gun' on the battlefield.

And this one of yours!"

"Should be called the 'Suicide Gun'?!

You're trying to put all the soldiers using this gun into a desperate situation!"

"Regimental Commander Huang, I think you've simply been used by foreign spies!"

When Huang Wei heard this, it was like a thunderbolt.

Would his close friend of many years deceive him?

He immediately grabbed Xu Ning by the collar with wide, angry eyes and roared: "You're saying I would harm all the soldiers of our 65th Division?!

You better explain yourself, or I'll shoot you!"

Xu Ning sneered internally: "Looks like he really is a hothead."

"Let go, and apologize to me and Commander Tang, then I'll tell you the reason.

Otherwise, go ahead and shoot."

At the crucial moment, Huang Wei was still a reasonable person.

He took a deep breath, let go of his hand, stood up straight in a military posture, and said solemnly: "Factory Director Xu, Commander Tang, my temper was too rash.

I apologize to both of you, I'm sorry!

Please tell me, why does the weapon designed in the blueprints have such a high risk of use?"

In Huang Wei's sincere eyes, a renewed respect for Xu Ning, the Factory Director of this third-tier military factory, was established...
