Chapter 145: Good Things Are Grinding

"Lu, I heard that you designed a sniper rifle that can hit a target of a thousand meters?" Hoffman, who rushed to hear the news, went straight to the point, and as soon as they met, he asked Lu Yuan to take out the heavy sniper rifle and show it to himself. Lu Yuan didn't hide it from Hoffman, but what Hoffman saw was a pile of gun body parts scattered on the workbench. "That's what you designed? But I don't look like a sniper rifle, do I? Looking at the parts of the gun on the workbench, Hoffman's tone was a little chosen.

"But they are, but they haven't been assembled yet, and I need to keep perfecting them." Lu Yuan pretended to hold a caliper, constantly measuring the data of those parts, and recorded them one by one. "There's no way, the material is still not good enough, I just used it to test the gun, and there was a problem with the gun. If I continue to test fire, I think that the gun body may suddenly deform, so some improvements must be made. ”

Lu Yuan's half-truthful answer made Hoffman a little disappointed, and when the guards who appeared at the shooting range in the morning called him, they swore that this heavy sniper rifle had an ultra-long firing range. If it weren't for this, why would he come here in such a hurry, but who would have thought that he would not even look at the heavy sniper rifle when he came at a bad time.

Hoffman planned to stay here, but Lu Yuan only focused on measuring and recording the parts on the table, completely ignoring Hoffman's existence, and after a long time, Hoffman himself was relieved. Hofman, who was quite bored, went to the soldier's dormitory to sleep, and as soon as he left the workshop, Lu Yuan started the machine, and according to the data he had already verified, with the help of Hogg, began to process the body parts of the heavy sniper rifle.

"Boss, I'm afraid you can't hide this, the soldiers here are all SS, and Hoffmann is also an SS." Hogg's words were very subtle, but the meaning was very obvious, Hogg was reminding Lu Yuan that once Hoffman found out that Lu Yuan was secretly doing private work, he might cause big trouble. Lu Yuan only smiled at this, but did not answer, because these things had actually been carefully thought about before he came to Germany.

The reason why Lu Yuan agreed to come to Germany in the first place was not actually for the money obtained from the sale of drawings, what Lu Yuan really needed was a powerful and handy weapon. Among the countries in the world today, the best quality of infantry weapons is Germany, and Lu Yuan has excellent weapon design ideas in his head, but he suffers from the lack of high-quality materials and the best processing equipment, but Germany is not short of these things.

So Lu Yuan came to Germany, whether it was to reveal the location of the local oil fields to the German government, or to provide design drawings for anti-tank weapons, Lu Yuan's ultimate goal was to gain Hitler's support and use the resources provided by the Germans to make the best individual weapons for himself. Lu Yuan can't become an excellent artilleryman, and his storage space can't fit a large-caliber gun or tank, so heavy sniper rifles have become the top priority in Lu Yuan's heavy weapon selection.

As long as he can make a suitable heavy sniper rifle, after returning to China, Lu Yuan no longer has to fear Japanese tanks or forts, and he can even use heavy sniper rifles to carry out long-range sniping at important Japanese targets. For his ultimate goal, Lu Yuan chose to temporarily conceal the development progress of the heavy sniper rifle, not to mention that he still has a killer feature that has not been revealed, as long as Hitler does not give up his support for himself, Lu Yuan believes that Hoffman will not become a trouble hindering himself.

It was another busy night, before dawn, Lu Yuan, with the help of Hogg, once again processed a large number of heavy sniper rifle body parts, and the newly machined parts had surpassed the previous batch of parts in terms of accuracy. "Oh my God, Lu, it's so beautiful." Hoffman, who got up early and rushed to the workshop, finally made his dream come true and saw the assembled heavy sniper rifle, but he didn't know that the heavy sniper rifle he saw was the one that Lu Yuan test-fired yesterday, and the newly processed body parts had already been put into the storage space by Lu Yuan.

In order to get first-hand information, Hoffman went to the shooting range with a heavy sniper rifle and 150 rounds of large-caliber ammunition after being repeatedly told by Lu Yuan, while Lu Yuan and Hogg stayed in the camp to sleep soundly. With Lu Yuan's prior reminder and advice, Hoffman was still much more cautious and cautious when testing the gun, but even so, the 150 rounds he brought to the shooting range were not all used, and the shooting accuracy of the heavy sniper rifle dropped significantly.

"Lu, what's going on? When I only got 100 rounds, the range dropped from 1,000 meters to 800 meters, and the impact point was repeatedly offset, including the recoil was much larger, and my shoulder still had a dull pain. Hoffman, who had returned to the camp, rubbed his shoulders in pain, and if he hadn't stopped shooting in time, the remaining 30 rounds of bullets might have shattered his shoulder blades.

"Hoffman, I don't have a good way to do this. As I told you, this heavy sniper rifle is very unstable, after all, it is too large. When you left in the morning, I said that I could only guarantee that it would be within 50 rounds, that it would be in stable condition, but after 50 rounds, I could not guarantee that it would still be in good condition. Lu Yuan's excuse is not a fallacy to Hoffman's ears, in fact, the state of this large-caliber rifle is indeed not very stable.

After personally testing the heavy sniper rifle, Hoffman learned about this high-powered infantry weapon, and after asking Lu Yuan what he meant, Hoffman took the heavy sniper rifle with him when he left the camp. Some of the SS were good shooters, and Hoffmann brought the gun back so that more SS players could try the gun. Hoffman took the heavy sniper rifle away, and Lu Yuan did not have the slightest pity and loss, but on the night of Hoffman's departure, he started the machine again to process more parts of the gun.

After personally testing the heavy sniper rifle, Lu Yuan no longer regarded this large-caliber heavy sniper rifle as a conventional sniper rifle, and Lu Yuan actually wanted to use it as a long-range destruction weapon. As long as Lu Yuan is given enough large-caliber special ammunition, the Japanese army's oil depot and material depot will all become the target of Lu Yuan's sabotage operations, and only one large-caliber armor-piercing incendiary bomb is needed, and Lu Yuan is thousands of meters away, so that the oil and materials stored by the Japanese army can be turned into a dazzling fireball.

Lu Yuan considered this, Hogg and Schuhman didn't know, so Hogg would vaguely remind Lu Yuan, but Lu Yuan didn't care about it. In the days after Hoffman left the No. 3 barracks with the heavy sniper rifle, Lu Yuan successively processed a large number of magazines and accessories, including the silencer that Schuchmann had always been interested in, but this thing must not be known to Hoffman.

After several days of continuous hours, Hoffman finally reappeared in the No. 3 barracks a week later, "Lu, I brought two news, one is good and the other is not very good, which one do you want to listen to first?" Hoffman was still in a mocking tone, and after Lu Yuan, who was busy, raised his head slightly and slanted at him, he continued to focus on the magazine he was processing, and such a reaction made Hoffman feel aggrieved.

"Okay, I'll start with the good news, I've got you the scopes you mentioned last time, but there aren't a lot of them, only four." Hoffman triumphantly opened the box he was carrying, and Lu Yuan's attention immediately shifted from the magazine to the box Hoffman opened. Hoffman was obviously very satisfied with Lu Yuan's performance at the moment, and then took out the long boxes in the box one by one, and the boxes contained the high-powered scopes that Lu Yuan had been looking forward to for many days.

Lu Yuan wiped his hands clean, and carefully took out a high-power scope from a long box and looked at it carefully, perhaps because of Lu Yuan's suggestion, this high-power scope is no longer the original narrow shape, but looks closer to the shape of the sniper rifle in later generations. "Yes, it's good, and the bottom has been fitted with a rail groove, which is good." Lu Yuan looked at the scope in his hand over and over again, and finally gave a satisfactory answer to Hoffman.

After Lu Yuan checked all four scopes, Hoffman suddenly straightened up and said to Lu Yuan, "Lu, I'm sorry, the heavy sniper rifle you designed is likely to be discontinued." The heavy sniper rifle I brought back was test-fired by many people, and it turned out that the recoil was so great that even the best sniper in the SS could not shoot continuously. So they feel that the heavy sniper rifle you designed does not have the value of mass production at all, and they seem to trust the Mauser sniper rifle more. ”

Lu Yuan knew that this was the bad news that Hoffman said, and then smiled at the other party, "Hoffman, it's okay, I didn't think about mass production of it before." Actually, it's just a little toy of mine, and if you want to compensate me, then please go ahead and get me these scopes, I'll need at least 10 of them. Lu Yuan's indifference made Hoffman's heart plugg, and he didn't know whether what Lu Yuan said was true or false.

The German military did not fancy the heavy sniper rifle, which was originally in Lu Yuan's consideration, after all, the heavy sniper rifle that Hoffman took away had already been tampered with by Lu Yuan. What the Germans will think, Lu Yuan doesn't care at all, he just wants to get enough materials and equipment for himself before he leaves Germany, and make enough weapons suitable for him.
