“What is the melting point?”
Tang Rui immediately thought of the key parameters.
“I haven’t tested it yet.”
“Then hurry up and take the test.”
Tang Rui also helped in the laboratory, testing the performance of this low-temperature alloy together.
He didn’t do anything that was slow to resist corrosion.
However, it was easy to do things like tensile strength, malleability, and resistance to shear stress.
The material’s performance was pretty good.
In addition to its outstanding tensile strength, it also had very good malleability. Its resistance to shear stress was average, neither bad nor outstanding.
Then… The two of them began to test the melting point again.
Upon testing, Tang Rui was dumbfounded. The melting point was very low, only 860 degrees.
What use was this? The aircraft’s body would be crippled the moment it entered the heat barrier.
However, this was a low-temperature alloy, not a high-temperature alloy. This melting point was not a big disadvantage.
He didn’t need to use it on the plane. However, it was not bad to use it on the RV.
“Have you recorded the craftsmanship and process?” Tang Rui inquired.
“It’s all recorded. We have to record every step of our experiments.”
As for the materials… You don’t know what kind of experiment you’re doing, what kind of materials you put in, and what kind of things you can produce by raising the temperature by a few degrees.
Sometimes, he was careless.
Super steel was produced.
Unfortunately, there were no records.
He wanted to do it again, but he could not do it no matter what.
“Alright, you guys go ahead.”
Tang Rui left the laboratory and found Lin Chao.
“Brother Lin, this is a new material that the laboratory has just produced. The test has not been completed yet.
This is some of the data that was detected just now. Send it to the higher-ups to ask and see how its performance is.
Whether it was valuable or not, whether it needed to be kept a secret, and if it needed to be kept a secret, what level should it be?”
Lin Chao received the report and nodded before turning to enter his room.
There was a secure line there.
He could directly send the information up.
After a while, Lin Chao approached him with a stern face, saying that this was a major scientific research result and must be kept strictly confidential.
“How big is it?” Tang Rui asked.
“The kind that can be used on Chang’e 6.”
Tang Rui had a toothache. He had never expected that the two of them would actually create a low-temperature alloy with such strong performance. “Alright, what did the higher-ups say?”
“Someone will come to take samples later and conduct a comprehensive test.
If there were no problems with the material’s performance, the sale of this material would be prohibited.
At that time, the country would subsidize this project, and the follow-up purchases would also be given a sufficient price.”
“Is it okay if I use it myself?”
“For what?”
“I need an RV.”
In less than half an hour, the military arrived.
They took a sample with them.
At the same time, he made the two of them sign a confidentiality agreement.
Tang Rui also told the two of them the seriousness of the matter and said that if the country purchased it in the future, the profits of this material could earn each of them 10% respectively.
It sounded quite generous.
However, such special materials were impossible to purchase in large quantities.
The usage was too narrow, and he had to keep it a secret.
A10% profit would at most make their lives a little more comfortable.
He wanted to buy a house when he couldn’t even afford a toilet.
He quickly threw this matter to the back of his mind.
The appearance of such a material could be a major event in some fields.
However, to him, it was really a small matter. It was not as important as his RV.
In the next two days, no one came to disturb him.
With all the materials available, the production speed of the touring car soared.
“Boss, what should we install in these two empty spaces?”
“Mount the Gatling gun.”
Tang Rui glanced at the empty seat at the top of the car and answered casually.
Staff.
After Tang Rui finished installing the internal air circulation purification system host, he also looked at the two empty seats on the front of the car.
The employee reminded him that it was time to get the weapons and equipment out.
“Give me the seamless steel pipe.”
Tang Rui came to the front of the machine tool and said to the employee beside him.
“Coming, Boss.”
Taking the seamless steel pipe and placing it into the machine tool, Tang Rui began to carve the rifling.
He was in a good mood as he watched the iron filings coming out of the pipe.
No normal person would dare to carve rifling on a steel pipe.
He dared to do it now.
Not only did he dare to carve the rifling, but he also dared to ask the military to provide bullets.
Actually, at the very beginning, he wanted to install an 1130 on the roof of the RV.
Later on, he realized that it was too big.
Therefore, he settled for the next best thing and installed two Gatling guns.
Tang Rui was carving the rifling.
The other employees were also making other parts.
When all the parts were finished.
Tang Rui began to assemble.
Clack Clack!
When he put on the last drum, a faint light flashed.
[Item: Gatling Gun]
[Experience: 0/300]
[Origin: 915-28]
Seeing the data on the system panel, Tang Rui curled his lips.
With just 300 experience points, he would be able to level up with just two hits.
Thinking of this… He found Lin Chao.
“Brother Lin, where is the Gatling ammo I requested?”
“Who is President Tang planning to kill?”
“Brother Lin, don’t mess around. I want to test the weapon. How can I test it without bullets?”
“Testing weapons? Do you want to do it here or on the streets?”
“You didn’t get the approval?”
“If you need bullets, President Tang, you can use as many as you want.
But you can’t use it here. You need to go to the military shooting range. You can fire as many shots as you want there.”
Tang Rui curled his lips.
“Alright, can we go now?”
“Anytime.”
“Then go now.”
He didn’t want to wait any longer. He wanted to go over and give it a try now.
He wanted to see if the Gatling gun he made could emit blue light.
“Let’s go.”
The two of them drove to the shooting range of the military area.
Tang Rui carried the Gatling gun and got off the car, making the soldiers at the side stare blankly.
“What kind of bullets do you need? I’ll get them to get them,” Lin Chao asked.
“Just like the 89 heavy machine gun, use 12.7x108mm ammunition.”
Tang Rui originally wanted to use 12.7x99mm ammunition, but later on, he thought it was useless.
This was because these types of ammunition were basically common ammunition from overseas.
It was better for him to use the domestic common ammunition, and there was not much difference between the two types of ammunition.
Very quickly, a few soldiers carried over ten boxes of ammunition.
After opening the wooden box, a long green iron box was revealed.
He tore open the lid.
A golden bullet was revealed.
It was so beautiful.
He liked this kind of shiny golden thing.
The soldiers at the side began to help load the bullets into the single chain.
He squatted down and pretended to be as well.
However, his speed was too slow. The other party had already finished loading a single chain, but he had not even finished loading a third of it.
“Brother Lin, do you want to shoot?”
Tang Rui said to Lin Chao after he put on the ammunition chain.
“Go ahead.” Lin Chao shook his head.
When he was a military representative at the research institute, he had played with all kinds of guns, not to mention the Gatling.
He had even played with a sniper cannon before.
Tang Rui fixed the support, put the Gatling gun on, and fastened the card slot.
After finishing all of this, he opened the safety, loaded the gun and pulled the trigger.
Whirrrr… Krraaaa
