Chapter 289 Researching Sniper Rifles
Shortly after Lu Chen and Fu Mingzhuo finished discussing the snack street, a figure in a white coat rushed into the room. It was Chen Jianghe. As soon as he entered the room, he complained to Fu Mingzhuo with a little impatience:
"Ming Zhuo, what's the matter that requires you to come to me so urgently? I'm still busy with an experimental project in the lab!"
Seeing this, Lu Chen on the side quickly explained with a smile:
"Brother Jiang He, I asked Ming Zhuo to call you over."
It was only then that Chen Jianghe noticed that there were two other people in the office. When he saw Lu Chen, a look of joy instantly appeared on his face, and he couldn't wait to ask Lu Chen:
"Xiao Chen, you called me here in such a hurry, is there another high-quality project that you want to entrust to our laboratory for research?"
Lu Chen looked at Chen Jianghe awkwardly, muttering to himself: How can I have so many research projects! Even if I do, your laboratory probably doesn't have the strength to research them. Lu Chen subconsciously touched his nose and said with a little embarrassment: "Brother Jianghe, I came to you this time to ask you to help me build two shotguns."
Chen Jianghe frowned upon hearing this and said to Lu Chen with a puzzled look on his face: "Don't we already have a K-type gun? What do you want a shotgun for? A shotgun is not as useful as a K-type gun!"
Lu Chen quickly explained: "I'm going hunting, so I need two hunting rifles."
After hearing this, Chen Jianghe became even more confused and asked, "Can't the K-type rifle be used for hunting?"
Lu Chen thought about it and felt that he still needed to explain the difference between the two guns to Chen Jianghe. Lu Chen organized his words in his mind and said:
"Brother Jiang He, this rifle has too much lethality and penetration. If you use it for hunting, a small animal will basically be broken into pieces with one shot. Even if a large animal is only shot, the wound will be very miserable, and the fur will basically be severely damaged. The power of a hunting rifle is relatively small, and it uses small bullets. After hitting the prey, the wound will be relatively small. Even if a small animal is shot, it will not be broken into pieces, and it will not cause too much damage to the fur of large animals."
After listening to Lu Chen's explanation, Chen Jianghe had a general understanding of the difference between rifles and shotguns, but since he had never seen a shotgun, he was still very unfamiliar with it. So he asked curiously:
"How do you make this shotgun you just mentioned? Are there any relevant drawings or other materials I can refer to? I want to know more about shotguns."
What blueprints did Lu Chen have? He had only seen a hunting rifle a few times! He said helplessly, "I haven't even seen a hunting rifle a few times, where can I get its blueprints?"
After hearing what Lu Chen said, Chen Jianghe immediately became furious. He shouted at Lu Chen, "How can I make a shotgun for you when I have nothing?"
Evelin, who was standing nearby, saw this scene and quickly said to Chen Jianghe and Lu Chen with a smile, “As for this shotgun, I know a thing or two.”
When Lu Chen heard that Evelin actually knew about shotguns, he was immediately delighted. He secretly regretted how he had forgotten Evelin. She was born into a wealthy aristocratic family like Rothschild, and must be very familiar with shotguns. So, he couldn't wait to say to Evelin, "Evelyn, tell Brother Jianghe what this shotgun looks like!"
Chen Jianghe also looked at Evelin with curiosity. He had heard that Lu Chen had a foreign girlfriend, but he had never met her. When he saw her today, he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "This woman is just so-so, not even as pretty as Yun Jin! I really don't understand what Lu Chen likes about her. He doesn't pursue a beauty like Yun Wanting, but chooses to find a foreign girl as his girlfriend."
Evelyn seemed to sense Chen Jianghe's gaze, smiled slightly, turned to look at Lu Chen, nodded slightly, and said softly: "This hunting rifle is actually a shotgun. There are no rifling inside its barrel, and the overall structure is relatively simple, mainly consisting of a firing pin, buttstock, barrel and trigger. Moreover, its effective range is also relatively limited, usually only about a hundred meters. However, I believe that it should not be difficult for you to make this kind of hunting rifle. After all, you can even successfully make a rifle. In comparison, the structure of the hunting rifle is simply too simple."
Lu Chen thought that if he simply relied on language to describe it, he might not be able to accurately convey his meaning, and it might even lead to misunderstandings. So, he decided to take a more intuitive approach - asking Evelin to directly draw the shotgun in her memory.
So, Lu Chen turned to Fu Mingzhuo and said, "Mingzhuo, go get me some paper and pen." Fu Mingzhuo did it without saying anything. After getting the paper and pen, Lu Chen handed them to Evelin and said to her gently, "Evelyn, don't describe it with words anymore. How about this, you use these papers and pens to draw the shotguns you have seen, so that Brother Jianghe can have a clearer and more intuitive impression."
Evelin listened and nodded obediently, then took the paper and pen from Lu Chen, walked to a corner of the office, found an empty table, and began to concentrate on depicting the shape of the shotgun in her mind.
Just as Evelin was concentrating on painting, an idea suddenly flashed through Lu Chen's mind: Since Chen Jianghe was going to make guns, why not let him make a sniper rifle as well? Thinking of this, Lu Chen made a prompt decision, grabbed Chen Jianghe, and took him into another office.
Chen Jianghe looked at Lu Chen blankly, and asked puzzledly: "Xiao Chen, why did you bring me here for no reason?"
Lu Chen quickly replied: "Brother Jiang He, haven't you always been eager to carry out some research projects? Just now, I suddenly had an inspiration and thought of an excellent research topic!"
Upon hearing about the new research project, Chen Jianghe's eyes lit up instantly, flashing with excitement. He couldn't wait to say to Lu Chen, "Xiao Chen, don't keep me in suspense! Tell me quickly, what kind of research project is it?" His voice trembled slightly with excitement, and he was obviously full of expectations and curiosity about this new research.
