Chapter 313: Chapter 215: Becoming a Real-Life Arms Tycoon! (5000-Word Chapter)_2

Shen Qianqian thought it over and nodded, "Using high-temperature, high-pressure jets as the propulsion force, I get that. And there's also an electromagnetic drive system?"

"That is..."

Lin Chuan scratched his head.

It wasn't that he didn't understand, but he was thinking of how he could explain it in simpler terms.

After all, he was dealing with two rocket launcher novices.

Thinking she had stumped Lin Chuan, the Little Landlady immediately said, "Chairman, the propulsion force you just mentioned is enough for me to digest for a day, let's talk about this electromagnetic drive system tomorrow."

Shen Qianqian thought likewise.

So, she followed the Little Landlady's lead and said, "The electromagnetic drive system must be quite complicated to explain. Even if you tell us now, Xinxin and I might not fully understand it. Let us first digest the 'basic principles of rocket propulsion' you just talked about."

Lin Chuan chuckled dryly.

How could he not know what these two girls were thinking?

They just didn't want him to appear foolish, that's why they said that.

Lin Chuan wasn't in a hurry to prove anything, so he laughed and said, "Alright, once I get the rocket launcher sorted out, I'll explain it to you. By then, you'll understand."

"Great!"

Shen Qianqian nodded happily, "You should just give me some advice on firearms. I can understand it, and it's your area of expertise."

Lin Chuan nodded, "There are many types of firearms. Which kind do you plan to design?"

"Rifles," Shen Qianqian laughed.

"I thought you would design handguns, since those are what you often handle," Lin Chuan raised an eyebrow and smiled.

"I often handle rifles as well."

Shen Qianqian grinned, counting on her fingers, "I have a special fondness for rifles, such as the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle, Type 81 automatic rifle, Mauser, AK; I'm quite familiar with them all."

Lin Chuan pursed his lips, "You're aiming to compete as the 'King of Firearms Design', huh?"

"Haha, not really. I just got a little excited when I saw the competition announced recently; I wanted to give it a try," Shen Qianqian giggled.

She knew that Lin Chuan had rich experience in firearms.

"Tell me about your preliminary design concept,"

Lin Chuan took a sip of water and asked.

After a moment of thought, Shen Qianqian then said, "You've watched Transformers, right?"

Lin Chuan nodded, "Of course, I have."

"I want to design a rifle that's like a Transformer," Shen Qianqian winked and smiled.

"A Transformer?"

Lin Chuan was surprised but quickly grasped Shen Qianqian's idea, "You mean to introduce the concept of 'firearms modularization' to the design of your gun?"

"You really know your stuff. Yes, it's a bit better than your rocket launcher,"

Shen Qianqian's eyes lit up, talking with Lin Chuan was always so effortless, he instantly got what she meant.

In the pre-21st century, most firearms were in the 'gun family' phase.

Entering the 21st century, 'firearms modularization' gradually became the mainstream in firearms development.

A simple explanation—

The so-called 'gun family', for a series of firearms, meant that firearms from the same family could share major parts, with lower processing requirements, which was very suitable for mass production.

Whereas 'firearms modularization', for an individual firearm, meant replacing key parts of the gun to transform it into different functional firearms, suitable for combat in various terrains.

Lin Chuan joked.

Shen Qianqian gave a thumbs up, "Imagine, designing a 'modular' rifle that can quickly switch between different forms like assault rifles, sniper rifles, etc., by changing key components—wouldn't that be a fulfilling thing to do?"

As she spoke, a spark of excitement appeared in her eyes.

"That would be really cool!"

Lin Chuan nodded in agreement, "But it will be quite challenging to design."

"No pain, no gain," Shen Qianqian grinned.

"Do you have an idea already?"

Lin Chuan inquired.

"A bit, let me tell you about it. You can give me some advice on what improvements could be made,"

Then, Shen Qianqian took out her notebook and pen and seriously discussed it with Lin Chuan.

Clearly, she had prepared thoroughly.

The Little Landlady, sitting nearby, was also listening intently.

Lin Chuan remembered the 'modular' rifle he produced in the Virtual World, which was very popular with various armed forces and had a backlog of orders.

However, Lin Chuan certainly wouldn't feed Shen Qianqian all the design concepts of this firearm; otherwise, it would become his work instead.

So, he just shared his opinions.

The main design was left for Shen Qianqian to explore.

After a while.

Shen Qianqian happily packed up her notebook and pen and said, "I'll work hard on it when I get home tonight, to polish it up a bit more."

"By the way, your firearm, is it for the physical development category?"

Lin Chuan asked.

In the living room, Shen Qianqian nodded, "Yes, what about it?"

"Where are you going to construct the final model of the firearm?" Lin Chuan asked.

The 'Remote Box-type Rocket Launcher' he wanted to build required an easily manageable model for the preliminary round of the competition, but the finals required the actual article—a prototype of the weapon, which would need a fairly capable factory to undertake.

The Remote Box-type Rocket Launcher was a large weapon.

A typical factory, without large-scale manufacturing machinery, couldn't possibly take on such an order.

"You're asking about that?"

Shen Qianqian smiled, "I'll go to my dad's place. He has the machinery, so applying to use the cutting machine and the numerical control machine tool for a bit should be no problem."

"You've really kept it under wraps!" Lin Chuan was taken aback.

With one hand on her water cup and waving the other hand, Shen Qianqian said, "What kept under wraps? My dad is just the director of the Anling Iron and Steel Factory. Although it's a state-owned enterprise under the supervision and management of Anling City, it hasn't been doing well for the past two years."
