Chapter 313 - Chapter 313: Chapter 215: Becoming a Real-Life Arms Tycoon! (5000-Word Chapter)_2 (2/2)

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.

“This is what a web novel writer has in their databank,”

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.”
