Chapter 109: Big Brain, Big Heart (3k)

Gao Zhendong was stunned and said with a smile: "Mr. He is joking, haha. I just have a wild imagination. When it comes to artillery, I can't compare with you in terms of practical skills and experience."

"Brain hole? What kind of new technology is this?" Mr. He was a little confused.

Gao Zhendong cursed himself for coming up with what would become a popular online term, and quickly explained, "No, no, I mean I am just a little more imaginative in my thinking, but my actual theoretical foundation and work experience are far behind yours."

Besides, when it comes to imagination, there are many people who are more imaginative than me, and some of them are very famous. With their examples, mine is nothing.

"Haha, Director Gao's statement is interesting, very interesting." Mr. He understood the meaning of brain hole and found it quite interesting.

Gao Zhendong said seriously: "I just want to put forward my ideas to see if they can help the advancement of the project. I don't think too much about other things."

Mr. He was full of admiration: "Director Gao, you are really broad-minded."

Gao Zhendong: ???

Mr. He, please don't be like this.

Gao Zhendong stopped talking about this with Mr. He and quickly brought the topic back: "Mr. He, now that we've talked about cannons and ammunition, let's talk about fire control."

Mr. He and his friends were already a little numb to Gao Zhendong's versatility, but Mr. He couldn't help but say, "Director Gao, you study materials, and besides your research on computers, you also have insights into fire control?"

Gao Zhendong was stunned: "Materials? I'm not studying materials. Fire control and computers are related to my major."

Mr. He: "What did Director Gao study?"

Gao Zhendong said: "I majored in automation! I just graduated this year."

When these words were spoken, the people at the Grassland Tractor Factory were shocked and speechless.

Regardless of their shock, Gao Zhendong said, "Mr. He, regarding fire control, although I have some ideas, I don't know the current situation. I can only talk about the little I can think of."

In fact, it’s mainly the book in my hand. It’s quite advanced, and it goes into a lot of detail, with a lot of theories and formulas. In any case, it’s inappropriate to just take it out.

Because if you are not in this field but are very familiar with the internal details, it is difficult to explain this matter clearly, so you can only talk about a few things first to arouse their interest.

Mr. He almost blurted out “I’ll tell you whatever you want to know,” but he held back rationally.

Gao Zhendong asked a less sensitive question: "Mr. He, how do we measure the range of our tank fire control?"

"Sight scale rangefinding." Mr. He did not hesitate. Leaking secrets? I am trying to dig out secrets. Besides, the current 5DL is also a copy of the big Russians in the north. How many secrets can it have?

Laser is still in theory, so there is naturally no laser rangefinder.

The scope has a scaled ranging function, which means that it is difficult to achieve true fully automatic ranging, or the accuracy is very poor.

"Then is the sight rigidly connected to the gun? Does the sight move with the gun?"

"Yeah."

Gao Zhendong raised the most realistic question: "That means the control response of the aiming line will be very slow? It will also be difficult to stabilize the artillery, right?"

Mr. He slapped his thigh and said, "You guessed it right, Director Gao. The artillery has a large moment of inertia and strong interference, which makes it difficult to stabilize the artillery, whether it is manual adjustment or automatic stabilization, because the aiming line, which is the stable target, is unstable and inaccurate."

"We have only stabilized the gun's elevation in one direction. If we also need to stabilize the huge turret in the horizontal direction, it will be even more difficult. This is one of the reasons why we have only achieved one-way stabilization of the gun's elevation."

Gao Zhendong said: "Mr. He, have you ever thought about separating them?"

"separate?"

"Yes, they are separated. The sight and the gun are stabilized separately. The tank crew operates and stabilizes the sight, and then uses the sight's status to feed back to the gun stabilization system to stabilize and operate the gun."

Mr. He didn't understand: "If we add another procedure in the middle, wouldn't it be even slower?"

Gao Zhendong smiled and said, "Mr. He, would you like to think about it again?"

Mr. He thought about it carefully for a while, and slapped his head: "I understand! The crew only needs to stabilize the sight, and the aiming line will be very stable, because this thing is light. This solves the problem that the aiming line itself is unstable due to the rigid connection between the gun and the sight."

Gao Zhendong nodded without saying anything, letting him think about it himself.

"The aiming line is now stable. Theoretically, what remains is to solve the problem of the approach speed and oscillation amplitude of the gun stabilization line and aiming line. This is much better than the original situation. We even see hope for the problem of stabilizing the turret in the horizontal direction. Increase the motor and increase the strength!"

You have made it clear that great strength can bring about miracles, Mr. He.

Gao Zhendong nodded with a smile, worthy of being the chief designer, he had already imagined it all. This is actually the biggest reason why all tanks in the future replaced the telescopic sight with a periscope sight, because it is impossible to make the gun and scope integrated.

Gao Zhendong added: "Actually, I still have a lot of vague ideas about fire control, but I'm not clear about the current situation, so I can't say anything."

Mr. He held Gao Zhendong's hand and shook it vigorously: "Director Gao, I have to thank you for this one point. A big problem has been solved. So, I will go back and report to the higher-ups, and try to submit all the current information on 5DL's firepower to you as soon as possible. Please take a good look at it and give us some advice."

After saying that, he felt a little embarrassed: "It's not that I don't trust you, it's mainly because that's the rule."

Gao Zhendong smiled and said, "Mr. He, we all understand the confidentiality regulations, so you don't have to be embarrassed."

The people from the Grassland Tractor Factory had a fruitful trip to Beijing. Mr. He returned to the unit happily, ready to torture Mr. Guan.

At about the same time, a conversation was taking place somewhere in the north where the Russians were in charge of aircraft engines.

"Dawali, our friend in the south seems to have come up with something we really need."

"My dear Davari, have you drunk too much Vodka?"

"No, no, no. This is the news sent back by our experts who are supporting them in the Northeast Aerospace Development Organization. Although our friend kept the secret very strictly, he still heard some news."

"Can you be more specific, my dear Davari?"

"They've got an alloy that raises the temperature before the turbine by a lot, and you know what that means."

"You have to stop drinking. Too much vodka can cause too much damage to your brain. My dear Davari, this is impossible. All their technologies were just provided by us, and they are still in the stage of copying and assembling."

"Damn it! I haven't touched that thing for a day, no, five hours. You have to listen to me, this is true. I have no evidence, but our people accidentally saw their engine bench test thrust data, which is 10% higher than what we provided, and I heard that this is not their limit."

"Are you sure what you said is true?"

"Yes, I swear on all the vodkas in my family."

"Then it seems to be true, my dear Davari. Okay, I understand. We have to do something. I will report to the higher-ups."
-

Time flies. After a month, Gao Zhendong has completed the training of transistor computer users. Now this group of people have mastered the theoretical skills of using DJS-59 computers for program compilation, numerical calculations, etc., and are undergoing practical training on the computers.

Basically, the promotion and application of transistor computers was just waiting for mass production, and reports applying for the configuration of DJS-59 computers came to the th Ministry of Machine Building like snowflakes.

Yes, the transistor computer has been officially finalized, and the model name is DJS-59 transistor computer.

Speaking of mass production, this month, through the efforts of the Institute of Computing and the 1274 Factory and other parties, the output reached a surprising number - 5 units.

Don’t underestimate the monthly production of 5 units. The total production of the first generation of domestically produced electronic tube computers 103 (DJS-1) was only 38 units.

This made the people in the computing institute smile. Together with Gao Zhendong's original one, there were already five transistor computers available for use in just one month. The maintenance personnel and their superiors also used this batch for practical training.

Why 5+1=5? Because one of the five newly produced machines was returned to Gao Zhendong, who made it clear that he had a lot of ideas to realize, and this one was even equipped with both a large-capacity magnetic core memory and a high-speed transistor memory.

Of course, it is impossible to put this thing back into the courtyard. In the First Research Laboratory of the Technical Department of the Third Steel Rolling Mill, an office next to Gao Zhendong's office was specially vacated as a computer room to house this set of things. Fortunately, this set of things occupies a very small area, otherwise it would be difficult to find this office.

This computer room provides the best environmental conditions, power supply capacity, battery system, electromagnetic shielding facilities, multi-level lightning and surge protection systems, and elevated anti-static floors. Even Gao Zhendong himself has to change shoes when entering!

As for Gao Zhendong himself, this month was also very fulfilling. He attended classes, did programming, participated in lottery draws, dated people, and occasionally went to Sha Zhu or Wang Dezhu's house for a meal.

Just as everyone was getting more and more looking forward to and eager for mass production, in the south of the motherland, on Hong Kong Island, the customs management staff of John Bull was looking at a customs declaration form.

The content of the customs declaration was a batch of electronic components, including transistors, totaling 7 pieces.

It's not something strange. It's a common electronic component that can be produced in all major countries in the world.

He looked up at the customs broker and rubbed his fingers slightly.

The customs broker was a young Chinese man. When he saw the customs officer looking at him, he took off his hat and smiled at the customs officer in a friendly manner.

Well, very politely, as usual, the customs officer asked: "What is the purpose of these components?"

"Produce radios, sir. You know, there is a great demand for this thing in East Asia and Southeast Asia right now."

"Why are there so many?"

The customs broker handed over a paper bag, smiled and stammered in English: "We prefer to listen to the radio."
