389: Chapter 388 Not Wearing

To better highlight the test results, Fang Xiaoyun had some crooked intentions. He deliberately had the tester use a Russian-made AK47 rifle for the test. With a muzzle velocity of 750 meters per second and a muzzle energy of 1900 joules, the AK47 rifle could be called the devil of all body armor products.

No body armor manufacturer dared to pat their chest and guarantee that their product could withstand a direct shot from an AK47 rifle at this distance without needing ballistic inserts.

But Hongshu New Materials had done it.

Thirty meters, withstanding a close-range shot from a rifle bullet head-on, it stood head and shoulders above the rest with its unexpected ballistic strength.

And that slightly deformed bullet lodged in the body armor was its medal of honor.

Ji Hang watched this scene, a smile appearing on his face.

General Zheng's expression became slightly more serious as he took the tested body armor; a yellow-orange bullet was embedded in the chest area.

Touching it lightly with his hand, it seemed to still carry residual warmth.

"Not bad."

General Zheng nodded and said to Ji Hang, "Your company has indeed put a lot of effort into this."

Ji Hang smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's still somewhat unsatisfactory. I thought that a distance of thirty meters shouldn't have caused too much damage to our product; I didn't expect it to be almost penetrated."

Fang Xiaoyun chimed in, "Manager Ji is being too modest. If the test had used China's Type 95, your company's body armor would definitely have remained intact. After all, the AK rifle is a bit too powerful."

"The ammunition for the Type 95 rifle is superior to Russian and NATO ammunition of the same caliber in terms of penetration, kinetic energy retention, and lethality. Its power is sufficient to penetrate this body armor within a range of thirty meters."

Ji Hang smiled and said, "However, we will develop new materials as soon as possible, striving to be able to withstand all rifle ammunition within a range of thirty meters in pure body armor mode."

"Oh?"

General Zheng said indifferently, "Manager Ji also understands Weapon?"

"I know a little."

Ji Hang said gently, "I used to read some Weapon magazines when I was bored, so naturally, I remembered some of the data."

"Very good."

General Zheng nodded and tossed the body armor back to Fang Xiaoyun, "No need for the ten-meter test; go straight to testing the next piece."

Fang Xiaoyun nodded slightly.

This body armor had already sustained damage at a distance of thirty meters; although it was not completely penetrated, it had lost the significance of continuing the ten-meter test.

Testing body armor is about gathering data, not simply satisfying a desire for destruction.

"General Zheng, according to the current situation, the body armor provided by Hongshu New Materials Company should be the highest Level IV. If there is no need to continue testing, I will mark the body armor grade according to the current test results."

Fang Xiaoyun said.

The body armor grade was the key to this evaluation. If he could secure the Level IV body armor grade first, it would be very beneficial for signing subsequent contracts.

If you take someone's money, you have to do things for them. Besides, this was just a favor, and saying one more sentence would give him a little more sense of participation.

General Zheng did not refuse.

It was the same old saying: results are the hard truth. As long as the results were good, he could turn a blind eye to small maneuvers. In the end, it was the military department that would benefit.

Fang Xiaoyun gave the evaluation grade very happily, and then added, "General Zheng, the next thing to test should be the helmets. However, for the sake of comparison, I suggest testing the body armor provided by Yunsheng Equipment Factory first."

"Fine."

General Zheng waved his hand, seemingly a bit impatient.

Having received permission, Fang Xiaoyun was in an even better mood. He hurriedly ran to the display stand and took out one piece of body armor from the last batch delivered by Yunsheng Equipment Factory.

Since returning from Yunsheng, he had been actively preparing for all the matters of today and had no time to open the packaging of the equipment at all. This was also the first time he had picked up Yunsheng's equipment in two days.

But as soon as he got his hands on it, he immediately noticed something unusual.

The weight of the product seemed to have decreased.

This wasn't hard to understand; if they could use inferior raw materials, they would certainly cut corners, and the product weight would naturally decrease.

But what made him a bit puzzled was that the texture of this item felt similar to the one provided by Hongshu Company, perhaps even more comfortable.

As a veteran procurement officer with one foot in the factory, Fang Xiaoyun was not a simple fool; he had his own unique experience in investigating product quality.

He was very sure that his feeling was not wrong.

But how could this be?

The equipment provided by Yunsheng Factory was the same as the equipment provided by Hongshu?

Just thinking about it, Fang Xiaoyun threw this thought out of his mind.

He would rather believe that Yunsheng Equipment Factory had added other materials to the weave for the sake of feel, such as aramid, Kevlar, or even polyester and cotton fabrics.

Regardless, a good feel does not mean good quality. For the same Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene product, the heavier one inherently has an advantage.

This is visible material usage.

As for being both light and good?

Tsk... Fang Xiaoyun sneered.

Unless that guy Zhou Ping had found a supplier that had researched a material better than 5.5 million Dalton Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, and had fundamentally improved the production process and weaving techniques, otherwise, this was a fantasy!

Or, thinking that Yunsheng could do this was a fantasy in itself.

Putting the thoughts away, Fang Xiaoyun found his momentary hesitation a bit funny. He quickly took the equipment back to his seat, handed it to the tester, and instructed, "Try to place it as accurately as possible. Make sure to hit the same spot, so that some people don't say our test is not professional enough."

The tester nodded and was about to put the equipment on the mannequin in the distance when General Zheng spoke up, "Wait a moment."

The tester paused and looked at General Zheng.

General Zheng said indifferently, "No need to conduct the fifty-meter test. I have limited time, so don't waste time; start directly from thirty meters."

The tester was stunned and looked at Fang Xiaoyun.

Fang Xiaoyun was also stunned, then immediately reacted and nodded gently to the tester.

The tester did not linger and directly put the body armor on the mannequin target at thirty meters.

After the tester returned to his position, the shooter began to aim.

It was still the Russian-made AK rifle, still aiming at the chest area.

"Ready..."

General Zheng's somewhat serious face lost its smile, his eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the target not far away.

Ji Hang glanced at the target indifferently, then withdrew his gaze and looked at the mobile phone in his hand.

And Fang Xiaoyun was looking at the target, a smile slowly appearing at the corner of his mouth.

That black body armor seemed to have become a ladder to heaven; as long as he could catch General Zheng's eye, he could climb even higher in the Group Procurement Department in the future, and then...

The instructor's voice rang out.

"Fire!"

The gun fired, and the target fell in response.

The staff member went up to check immediately, then raised the body armor: "Hit!"

Fang Xiaoyun's smile became more obvious.

The staff member continued to shout: "Not penetrated!"

The smile at the corner of Fang Xiaoyun's mouth suddenly froze!
