Chapter 74 New Anti-Aircraft Machine Gun

"Da Da Da~~"

Liu Tao operated the anti-aircraft machine gun and kept firing.

After one magazine was used up, it was replaced with the next one. Two militiamen were responsible for filling the empty magazine with bullets.

Finally, Liu Tao was exhausted and stopped firing.

He fired 159 magazines, a total of 11,130 bullets.

The strong recoil made Liu Tao feel as if his arm was not his own.

And he had a feeling that the barrel would be scrapped if he continued to fire.

After a break, the two militiamen pushed the Type 54 anti-aircraft machine gun back to the production workshop.

Half an hour later.

Liu Tao put his hand on the anti-aircraft machine gun, and the virtual panel emerged.

[Item: Type 54 anti-aircraft machine gun]

[Manufacturer: Liu Tao]

[Item level: LV2 (11,120/100) (upgradeable)]

[Upgrade points: 350]

[Item status: intact, analyzable]

"System, continuous upgrade!" Liu Tao muttered.

According to the experience value, three upgrades can be made.

"Host, please choose the upgrade direction." The system prompted.

The virtual panel has already displayed the upgrade directions such as range, weight, volume, reliability, bullets, stability, accuracy, and life.

"Upgrade life, stability, and accuracy!" Liu Tao muttered in his heart.

Swish!

With a series of faint lights flashing, this Type 54 anti-aircraft machine gun has undergone obvious changes.

Then, Liu Tao used the upgrade points to upgrade.

When the level is low, it is more cost-effective to accumulate experience points by shooting and increase the level. When it reaches level 4, it is not suitable.

From level 1 to level 4, you only need to shoot 11110 bullets. But from level 4 to level 5, you have to shoot 100,000 bullets.

According to the barrel life of this Type 54 anti-aircraft machine gun, 10 barrels are required.

But every time the barrel is replaced, the experience is reset to zero.

It's not cost-effective!

Next, you have to use upgrade points to upgrade the anti-aircraft machine gun.

Liu Tao keeps smashing upgrade points.

Brush, brush, brush~~~

A series of faint lights flickered.

When the faint light stopped flickering, the Type 54 anti-aircraft machine gun in front of him had completely changed.

The most obvious change is that the appearance has become more refined, and the appearance has improved by more than ten times.

Appearance is combat effectiveness, this is Liu Tao's belief!

Liu Tao looked at the instructions carefully.

The effective range is 2500 meters, the barrel caliber is 14.5mm, the weight is 73 kg, it can be equipped with a tripod and wheels, the magazine capacity is 150 rounds, and it can fire 14.5mm tungsten core shelling bullets, armor-piercing bullets, incendiary bullets, and tracer bullets. The barrel has a service life of 40,000 rounds, and the initial velocity is 1000~1350m/s.

The more he understood, the more excited Liu Tao was.

There is no doubt that the anti-aircraft machine gun in front of him is a brand new anti-aircraft machine gun, and its performance far exceeds that of the Type 54 anti-aircraft machine gun.

"Titanium alloy is needed, and this requires special effort!" After the excitement, Liu Tao had to think about a problem.

That is, this anti-aircraft machine gun is essentially different from the Type 54 anti-aircraft machine gun. It uses a titanium alloy machine gun, and the barrel needs to be forged. In this regard, we need to communicate with a special factory, and improve the existing production equipment and technology.

Even the workers who originally produced the Type 54 anti-aircraft machine gun need to be specially trained!

"It seems that I have to find the old factory director, and he has to come forward to coordinate!" Liu Tao said secretly.

At this time, he felt a sense of frustration at being controlled by others. When it comes to new materials, Panshan Machinery Factory cannot directly issue requirements. Other factories such as steel mills don't care about Panshan Machinery Factory at all, and they have to go through the Yunnan Provincial Defense Management Office.

This is not a matter of whether to give money or not, but a matter of planned economy.

"But the most important thing now is to analyze it!" Liu Tao began to analyze this anti-aircraft machine gun.

After analyzing this machine gun, Liu Tao did not draw a picture.

Because this time is almost the time for the driver to pick up his second sister's family.

The last time he returned from Beijing, when he was in Kun City, Liu Tao asked Wang Tiezhu for this matter.

These days, his second sister has also dealt with it, and came to Kun City today.

Liu Tao specially sent his driver to Kun City to pick up people.

After returning home, Liu Tao took a shower and changed into clean clothes.

As soon as he walked to the balcony, Liu Tao saw the jeep coming here, and immediately knew that his driver was back.

This year, there is one more jeep in the factory, a total of two jeeps.

Liu Tao hurried downstairs, and just when he reached the gate, the jeep had stopped.

"Director, I am lucky to have fulfilled my mission and picked up the person!" The driver turned off the engine and got out of the car, saying to Liu Tao.

Liu Tao looked at the person who got off the car at this time, his eyes stayed on a woman in a simple green military uniform. The woman's face was six or seven points like his sister Liu Ziyu, and familiar scenes emerged in his mind.

"Sister!" Liu Tao couldn't help but shouting excitedly.

This woman was Liu Tao's second sister 'Liu Honglei', who was three years older than Liu Tao.

But the two siblings have been separated for eleven years.

When Liu Honglei was 16 years old and had just graduated from junior high school, she responded to the call for educated youth to go to the countryside and went to Yunnan Province to join the Yunnan Construction Corps to build the southwest.

"Brother!" Liu Honglei looked at Liu Tao, her eyes reddened, and tears fell.

The two siblings hugged each other.

"Sister, this is your brother-in-law, right?" Liu Tao held Liu Honglei's hand and looked at a thin young man who was about 1.68 meters tall.

"Well, this is your brother-in-law, Chen Weimin!" Liu Honglei introduced him.

Then she introduced the three children.

"Are you your uncle?" A chubby little boy looked up.

Liu Tao sighed in his heart. His second sister was only 27 years old, but his eldest son was already 8 years old, his eldest daughter was 6 years old, and his youngest son was also 3 years old.

In this era, the legal age of marriage for men and women is 20 years old for men and 18 years old for women.

But even one year in advance is very normal. Even in rural areas, many people get married two or three years in advance.

"So good!" Liu Tao picked up the little boy and lifted him up high. The little boy laughed happily.

"Uncle, I want one too, I want one too!" The little girl and another little boy immediately asked for it.

Liu Tao laughed and took turns lifting him up high. Soon he became friends with the three children.

"Sister, brother-in-law, let's go in and talk!" Liu Tao said, holding the little girl.

"Brother, is this beautiful house really yours?" Liu Honglei asked.

Liu Tao explained: "To be precise, this house belongs to the factory. I only have the right to live in it, and I can't sell it to others."

"Sister, brother-in-law, you will live here from now on. After work, as long as you work hard, you will definitely be allocated a house in the future." Liu Tao said.

This time, he brought his sister's family here to arrange for them to work in Panshan Machinery Factory.

He couldn't let his sister's family live in a tent, so he naturally arranged it in his own home. Anyway, he has many rooms here, and now he lives alone.

"I didn't dare to think about it when I read the newspaper and listened to the radio broadcast before. I thought it was just the same name as you." Liu Honglei thought of the newspapers she saw and the radio she heard, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Mom wrote me a letter, and I received the letter and then I knew about you."
