Happy and leisurely time is always short. The festive celebration of the New Year has passed, and various research institutions under the Guwen Association have begun to keep busy again.

Riding in the new sedan "Tianma" produced by a smart factory, Zhong Yang sat in the back seat of the car and kept thinking about the next preparations.

The dark and thick car body looks elegant and concentric in the underground tunnel. The dark yellow lights reflect on the smooth and smooth shell, adding a deep but brilliant charm.

In order to strengthen the connection between several research bases, Zhong Yang used a large number of construction machinery servants to build multiple underground passages and connect several bases. The only isolated underground base used by German researchers was considering the confidentiality factor.

Although I paid a large amount of permissions for this, Zhong Yang thought it was worth it. After all, in many cases, secret research bases were chosen in sparsely populated places, which was not convenient for researchers to enter and exit. Over time, negligence and accidents were inevitable. It would be better to gather at several entrances and then enter their own departments.

Although the "Tianma" sedan has been changed to its name, it actually uses the full production process of Mercedes-Benz cars of this era. However, the details have been slightly changed according to Zhong Yang's opinions. In addition to all the parts being processed in smart factories, this car is just a Mercedes-Benz. The appearance design is also very unreasonable. After all, Zhong Yang is not a professional, so he can only do this level.

This is also the reason why he urgently needs a professional team to enter the smart factory to assist in management.

The person in charge of driving was Zu Jie, the taciturn man. Neither of them talked to each other, and each had his own thoughts.

After driving for about 30 minutes, Zujie saw the exit not far ahead. He reminded him: "President, we are here."

"Well, I understand." Zhong Yang, who came to his senses, answered faintly, but his absent-minded expression showed that he was still thinking about some other questions.

After passing the identity authentication, the rotating valve of the alloy protective door rotates and the door opens. "Tianma" drove to the originally planned special garage. Zujie quickly got off the car and opened the door for Zhong Yang with a respectful attitude.

After finishing his clothes, Zhong Yang walked out of the rear compartment with ease. Although it was not long, he now had the awareness and demeanor of being a superior.

There are only two civilian managers responsible for coming to receive the reception, which is also a rule set by Zhong Yang. Researchers do not need administration or social engagements, just need to devote themselves to their jobs. All other things are handled by the company, and don’t do unnecessary hypocrisy and politeness.

"President, this is the assault rifle that our research team just completed. It fired a 7.62-51 mm steel rifle bullet, mainly referring to the rifle air-guided working principle provided by the Germans, and then integrating the complete technical information provided by the president. It took us half a year to finally complete all the design work. This is the first batch of samples."

The speaker was Yin Xiangzhou, a middle-aged man in his forties. He was originally a technician engaged in gun research in Germany. He was one of some Chinese researchers recalled by Zhong Yang through Casar. His family also took back home through relevant channels. He was the director of the Second Research Institute and the gun weapon expert that Zhong Yang relied on.

"Does the Germans know?" This assault rifle technology was carried out by Zhong Yang, mainly considering the changes in future war trends. The original manual single-shot rifle could no longer adapt to new needs.

"They seem to be doing related research, but we have not shared the results we have achieved with each other." The contract is a contract, and it is inevitable that this kind of thing will be retained. Yin Xiangzhou and Zhong Yang are not Li Shimin, so of course they will not show the technology they have.

The behavior of war has gradually changed. With the emergence of submachine guns and tanks, the machine gun positions are no longer as difficult to shake as before. But the problem also arises. Most long rifles have a range of 700 meters, while the range of submachine guns is only about 250 meters. The four hundred meters of the gap between this time requires a suitable rapid-fire weapon to fill.

After some efforts, with the cooperation of researchers and "bachelors", a new type of firearm appeared. The "assault rifle" named by Hitler appeared in China 23 years in the original time and space, and will profoundly affect the progress of the entire world.

The main technical principles were provided by the Germans. In fact, as early as 1918, several Western powers had already begun to study this "short rifle" rapid-fire weapon. However, they did not pay too much attention to it, but only routine technical accumulation. This is a development model of Western science and technology: whether it is useful or not, they will be studied first and then talk about it. When it is useful, they can naturally be used.

The entire assault rifle still adopts the basic gas-guided working principle, with an annular piston and the piston barrel located above the barrel. The bolt is offset downward by its tail end, so that the head of the machine is against the locking support surface at the top of the receiver, thereby achieving reliable locking. There is a hook facing forward at the upper end of the bolt behind the bolt, and a hook facing backward at the bottom of the frame. When the pressure of the gunpowder gas pushes the piston-frame backward, the two hooks are clamped together, first lift the tail end of the bolt upward, and then the bolt is randomly framed together.

In order to facilitate soldiers to clean, the gun does not have a gas regulator, so it is easy to wipe and has a relatively solid and reliable structure. And because it is equipped with a fast and slow machine device, soldiers can choose to use it, single shot, and continuous shot, instead of only continuous shots like submachine guns, not single shots.

"Have you confirmed the model?" Zhong Yang asked Yin Xiangzhou while fiddling with a test-product assault rifle in his hand.

"Not yet, mainly because it is impossible to determine practicality. Moreover, the research members have not reached a unified consensus on the design of the gun body structure." When talking about this issue, Ji Zhou seemed to be a little worried and hesitant in his words.

"No matter what the problem is, you have to say it out to solve it. You just need to give me some advice, and you don't need to care about other things." Zhong Yang didn't know what the other party was worried about, but he hoped that the institute would not be troubled by factors other than technology.

With Zhong Yang's support, Yin Xiangzhou continued: "There are still debates about the design of the air guide structure and the design of the round-rotation locking method of the shooting. The choice of ammunition types is also a matter of their own opinion. Changsheng Manager insists on using German technology, which has suppressed many design opinions."

So that's how Zhong Yang understood it. It was always not rigorous to rely solely on "bachelor" and Zhong Yang to complete the information. Because of the differences in technical factions and sources of information, there were also huge differences in the information provided by our researchers. This led to disputes in gun-shaped design, because the design concepts adhered to by all parties were conflicting and had their own arguments.

As expected, the establishment of the research system cannot be completed by yourself. The integration and processing of this data alone is very problematic. In addition, the research institution established by the Ancient Chinese Society has been less than two years old, and the entire system structure is also preferential and perfected, and early ideological chaos is inevitable. After listening to Yin Xiangzhou's words, Zhong Yang had to think about the reasons.

Changsheng is also a returning technician. In order to unify research ideas, he gathered all personnel to study a firearm first and then consider other things. After all, academic debates are still acceptable, but the physical objects must be made first to make sense. Perhaps this suppression made Yin Xiangzhou worried. After all, it may be effective quickly in the short term, but it is very unfavorable to the long-term development of scientific research work.

"Don't worry, each academic faction can be retained. I will allocate funds for you to conduct a new round of research. Each gun can be tried to create samples first, and then argue. I will explain it carefully in the Changsheng Manager. You can work with confidence and boldness. It doesn't matter if there is a dispute, as long as it is beneficial to technological development, I will give you some support."

After calming Yin Xiangzhou and a large group of researchers behind him, Zhong Yang then encouraged everyone's achievements in work with a smile. The chaos in the school system is very unfavorable for the early development of the organization, because the dispersed energy cannot quickly promote the design of the product.

Without qualified products, the resources required for research cannot be quickly accumulated, which is almost fatal to the development of scientific research organizations, especially in this era when business dominates the world.

But as a whole, debate helps refine scientific research work and explore new knowledge, so how to grasp the balance between them depends on Zhong Yang's decision.

In the end, this kind of problem still needs to be continuously expanded to solve it better. The lack of technical personnel is the key to conflicts. For the sake of long-term planning, Zhong Yang decided not to use politics to manage scientific research, nor to affect the steps of scientific research due to economic factors.

The refinement and splitting of the research team must also be carried out. Zhong Yang would rather give up the practice of making finished products quickly, and fundamentally consolidate the research system within the organization. With full wings, he can naturally soar in the sky.

With artifact-level pirated tools like smart factories, Zhong Yang is not worried about not being able to make any profit. Anyway, it is still quite time before World War II. It takes ten years to make the research system initially enriched, and the rest is just a matter of accumulating technical background.

With a longing, Zhong Yang left the Second Institute with a happy mood. He also took away the assault rifle. This is the first assault rifle in the world. Although it is not very powerful, it is definitely of commemorative value.

It was late March. Chen Ze was riding the bulletproof car "Tianma" that Zhong Yang had just sent not long ago, and accompanied by several marine soldiers to the train station. He was going to pick up an old friend, Deng Keng, the chief of the General Staff of the Guangdong Army.

Deng Keng is 38 years old this year. He is heroic and resolute, loyal and righteous. He is Chen Jiongming's number one confidant, and his status is still above Chen Jiongguang and Chen Juemin. Because of Chen Jiongming, Chen Ze is also familiar with Deng Keng and became a good friend. Today, Deng Keng returned to Guangzhou from Hong Kong, which was just right to welcome him.

At around 7 pm on March 21, 1922, a train from Kowloon to Guangzhou slowly entered the Guangzhou Station. An officer in military uniform and 30 years old walked out of the station gate with the passengers. Seeing Chen Ze coming to greet him, a heartfelt and honest smile could not help but show a happy smile on his face.

The two were more than ten years apart, but because of their matching personalities, they certainly became friends. Three land soldiers formed a defensive circle and protected Chen Ze strictly. In view of the turbulent situation and the assassination expert Sun Yixian, Zhong Yang ordered to strengthen the defense of all core members. Especially Chen Ze, who stood opposite to the Presidential Palace, strengthened the protection standards.

The two of them hugged each other first, and Chen Ze held Deng Keng's shoulder and smiled: "Zhongyuan, you are finally back. Mr. Huaixiao's health is fine, right?"

Zhou Shanpei was Deng Keng's mentor and a former scholar studying in Japan. After the founding of the Republic of China, he also had a political and academic position. This time, he invited Deng Keng to Hong Kong for negotiations was to discuss things about reforming the municipal government. He lacked political reputation, and Chen Jiongming now urgently needed someone to support him, so he asked Deng Keng to contact the other party.

"Well, my teacher's body is strong, I'm not worried about this." The communication with Zhou Shanpei seemed to be smooth, and Deng Keng's face was full of smiles.

"Do I want me to give you a ride? My car is a new one."

"No need, my adjutant is there. Now I will go to the headquarters soon." After saying that, Deng Keng pointed to a black car not far away and several soldiers in military uniforms standing there.

Chen Ze just smiled at the other party's rejection: "Okay, I know you're busy with things, so I won't bother you anymore. Oh, by the way, remember to say hello to Commander Chen for me."

The two people who were chatting did not notice that two pairs of bright eyes were staring at them. They were two gangsters with pistols in their pockets. When Deng Keng finished talking to Chen Ze and dressed on the spot, they were about to board the black sedan that came to greet him. The two gangsters gave each other a look and signaled to take action, pretending to walk past Deng Keng. The two gangsters followed him closely, and the two gangsters had opened their pistols in their pockets against the general's back.

‘Spang’

A few muddy gunfire caused the air to freeze, and then the crowd was in chaos.

The evil bullet hit Deng Keng's waist and abdomen. His strong body shook violently for a few times, turned around, opened his eyes wide, roared, and rushed towards the assassin. The two gangsters hurriedly mixed into the crowd and escaped. The general's abdomen was bleeding, and he staggered for a few steps, and finally fell to the ground.

Chen Ze and Deng Keng's adjutants, who had just reacted from shock, hurriedly carried him into the car and sent him to the governor's office, and then sent him to Taomei Hospital for treatment.

Fortunately, Deng Keng was not dead. He struggled to sit up on a leather chair and ordered the driver to quickly send him to the Guangdong Army General Headquarters. Chen Ze was beside him, first using the Yunnan Baiyao he carried with him to stop bleeding, and looked panicked: "Zhongyuan, if you want to hold on, you will arrive at the headquarters soon, you must hold on."

Deng Keng was in danger of his life, and Chen Ze also felt that the other party's breath of life was weakening and he was anxious. On the contrary, Deng Keng smiled and calmly: "It's okay, I'll follow the commander to travel around the world, what's this little injury?" While saying that, he coughed out blood, obviously bleeding from his mouth, and the blood from his mouth set off the smile on his face into a tragic smile.

"Who you go to Hong Kong is a secret, who knows?" How could Chen Ze remain indifferent when his friend was assassinated in front of him? At this moment, he had already been in a state of murderous intent and his eyes were full of cold light.

When Chen Ze asked who the murderer was, Deng Keng was silent and looked sad. He obviously recognized the murderer, but he was unwilling to say it out. Taking into account his injuries, Chen Ze did not continue to ask questions, but asked him to keep his spirits and not let the injury worsen.

The car arrived at the headquarters, and there was a turmoil and everyone was shocked. Deng Keng was still awake, but he had expected it to be difficult to treat. After his wife Li Shenyi arrived, Deng Keng smiled tragically and said, "Although my knowledge and talent are not as good as Zhu Zhixin, I and him are also firmly convinced. Zhu Zhixin was assassinated first, and I am assassinated now. God can't tolerate good people."

At this time, Chen Jiongming, the commander-in-chief of the Guangdong Army, immediately rushed out. When he saw the injuries of his confidant general Deng Keng, he was shocked and ordered someone to take him to the Taomei Hospital run by the French for emergency treatment. After examination, Deng Keng was hit by two bombs, one bullet in the lower abdomen, but before the vital point, one bullet penetrated the upper abdomen and shot through the stomach, with a lot of blood in the abdomen, and was infected.

It was already late at night, and on the aisle outside the intensive ward, soldiers surrounded by guns and ammunition, protecting important figures in the center. Deng Keng's assassination made everyone in the Chen clan's subordinates feel threatened, and the wind and fire were in a panic.

"Commander-in-Chief Chen, who was responsible for the assassination of Zhongyuan?" Chen Ze, who used to be kind, now had an indignant and angry face.

"Oh, you don't know that this matter is the best. This muddy water should not implicate more people." Shaking his head, like Deng Keng, Chen Jiongming was unwilling to say the man's name. He seemed to be scrupulous, and seemed to be sighing at the current situation.

Deng Keng was assassinated and public opinion was sensational. On the second day, the whole city reported it in large quantities. Among them, there were politicians from many aspects who expressed concern about this, and the public also discussed it a lot.

As the backbone of the Guangdong Army, the iron-strong general has led the backbone of the First Division of the Guangdong Army to investigate and ban smoking and gambling many times, and has made a great reputation in Guangzhou. Now that he is assassinated and his life is on the verge of death, how can he not attract widespread attention from public opinion?

There were even a lot of rumors that began to spread. It was said that this matter was related to Chen Jiongming of the General Headquarters, and his words were concise, as if they had seen it with their own eyes.

"Zhong Yang, do you know about this beforehand?"

The headquarters of the Ancient Literature Association, Zhong Yang's beach villa, and a group of people in the conference room also gathered together to discuss the whole matter. Because of the anxiety, he was a little excited and even forgot about the rules and regulations of the meetings in the past. Chen Ze said fiercely and questioned Zhong Yang who was sitting on the main seat...
