Chapter 147 Wisdom? Blood! (4k)

Before Gao Zhendong spoke, the user representative expressed his opinion: "I don't care whether Director Gao came up with this idea in his office, but what he said is what we thought."

The leader of the Defense Work Committee seemed to remember something, called the communicator over, and whispered a few words.

Gao Zhendong raised his hand, stopped the user representative from speaking, and spoke.

“This may be your collective wisdom, but what I just said is our collective blood.”

"I once risked my life with my comrade-in-arms, and he broke half of his leg so that I could put the blasting tube into the enemy's gun hole."

"I once led a whole squad of soldiers under enemy fire, unable to raise our heads, and only with blood-stained explosive packs could we open the way forward."

"I once led an entire platoon of soldiers and was suppressed by enemy machine gun fire to the point that we couldn't even get out of the tunnel. The firepower team from a friendly position risked their lives to cover us and never returned to their tunnel."

There is not a single word "death" in these sentences, but there is sacrifice everywhere.

"I don't know what makes you so confident that you reduced the support firepower you can provide to self-defense firepower."

"I don't know what made you allow a machine gunner to fight on the battlefield without any protection."

"I don't know if you know this, but even though we can't reach the enemy's artillery on the battlefield, the machine gun fire points will always be our top priority targets as long as conditions permit. Naturally, the same is true for the enemy."

"In our view, farther, more accurate, and more powerful are always what we pursue. If there are no conditions, it doesn't matter. The officers and soldiers will find ways to create the conditions."

"But since we have this condition, why don't we make good use of it?"

The meeting room was silent. Everyone looked at Gao Zhendong and no one spoke.

The representatives of the user party looked at Gao Zhendong with enthusiasm in their eyes. They were most touched by Gao Zhendong's words.

At this time, the communicator of the Defense Work Committee leader who had just gone out came back, took a piece of paper and handed it to the Defense Work Committee leader.

When the leader of the Defense Work Committee saw the note, his expression changed. He really didn't understand all the information on the note.

With solemnity, the leader spoke: "Ladies and gentlemen, let me formally introduce Comrade Gao Zhendong who just spoke."

"Comrade Gao Zhendong went abroad to fight in 1953. He was at the forefront of the battle, not afraid of sacrifice, bravely killed the enemy, commanded properly, and made many military achievements. He grew from an ordinary soldier to a platoon leader of a company in a battalion of a certain unit. He was awarded first-class merit twice, second-class merit three times, and the title of second-class combat hero. After returning to China, he studied hard, was admitted to university, and after graduating with excellent grades, he devoted himself to social construction work. He is now a scientific research leader of many major scientific research achievements."

After hearing this, the people at the scene fell silent. Then, there was a loud "boom" and the scene exploded.

What is a legend? This is a legend.

There are many combat heroes and many leaders of major scientific research achievements, but to have both of these in one person at such a young age is truly unique.

"Did I hear correctly?"

"Martial arts can kill the enemy, and literature can lead the way."

"No wonder, no wonder."

"What kind of fairy is this?"

"Comrade, we don't rely on gods or emperors. We rely on ourselves, on those among us who work so hard and dedicate themselves."

"hero!"

Only then did everyone understand why Gao Zhendong's speeches were basically all focused on protection, firepower and comfort.

Firepower is to kill the enemy.

The purpose of protection is to kill more enemies.

Comfort is for better killing of enemies.

Several representatives of the users stood up and faced Gao Zhendong.

"Stand at attention~~~~Salute!"

They are technical soldiers who have grown up in the past few years after the war, and they all respect their ancestors who participated in the war to establish the country.

Gao Zhendong returned the greeting solemnly.

The relevant personnel of 4DL in this regard were all blushing, as their work foundation in this area was indeed not very solid.

This is not entirely their fault. It is a new country with a new system. Many relevant personnel are new and have no experience. In order to maximize the scientific research strength, there are also students on campus, and they have done their best.

This situation was very common at that time. For example, when developing an amphibious tank, the comrade in charge of the design in the academy wanted to develop a "three-liquid" transmission and action mechanism. In the end, he was rejected by others because of "ignoring reality and aiming too high."

It's a good intention, but a little biased.

But for them, these reasons are useless. If there is a problem, there is a problem, and if the foundation is not solid, it is not solid.

A young designer who was responsible for the main work in these aspects of 4DL stood up and reflected on himself: "Director Gao, I'm sorry, what you said was indeed our laziness. We only thought about conveniently meeting the design requirements, but forgot the fundamental principle of starting from actual combat."

Gao Zhendong relaxed his expression and said, "Comrade, design cannot be divorced from reality. I know that under limited conditions, we need to compromise on some indicators, but compromise is also a skill. We still have to grasp the most fundamental principle of trade-offs."

"In my opinion, our armored personnel carriers in actual combat may not just undertake the transport mission as its name implies, that is, transporting infantry to the battlefield and dropping them off. Instead, when our armored forces are attacking, they may even advance along with the armored torrent of tanks and provide anti-infantry cover for the armored forces."

The leader of the Defense Work Committee's eyes lit up when he heard this. You know, he was also a soldier on the battlefield, fighting in the midst of gunfire and blood. He felt as if something wanted to come out of his head, but he couldn't catch it for a moment.

The representatives of the user side looked relieved. They had mentioned some of the things Gao Zhendong had just said, but they were all blocked by "theoretical argumentation", "meeting the indicators" and "discussion and decision".

This time the leaders of the Defense Work Committee found such a big Buddha, who is knowledgeable in theory, understands practical operations, has high abilities, and holds a high position. He was able to firmly convey what they wanted to say to the designers.

Seeing that the effect was very good and the purpose was achieved, the leader of the Defense Work Committee smiled and said, "Director Zhendong is worthy of being a scientific and technological worker who has walked out of the artillery fire. He is serious, objective, pragmatic, and practical. Now that the situation has been made clear, the comrades involved in the design of 4DL must take Comrade Zhendong's opinions into comprehensive and complete consideration so that the soldiers can use better armored vehicles that are closer to actual combat."

After saying that, he added: "As for Comrade Gao Zhendong's situation, it's good for everyone to know about it, and don't spread it outside." Everyone present was shocked. It seemed that Director Gao had a lot of things behind him.

Everyone present knew the confidentiality regulations, so there wouldn't be any problems. As for keeping Gao Zhendong's information completely secret? That's impossible. If you want to work, you can't do that. But it's okay to limit the spread within a certain range.

Gao Zhendong was also very satisfied to attend today's meeting. He has upgraded our skinny tanks with average protection and firepower into fat tanks through hard work.

Today's meeting will at least allow our armored personnel carriers to be upgraded to one star directly, rather than having to wait for improvements many years later.

During the battle, the fat tank pinches the enemy's head and swings it left and right, while the one-star armored vehicle floats behind and attacks the infantry. Isn't it beautiful?

The leaders of the Defense Work Committee are also very satisfied. If there are similar meetings, Comrade Gao Zhendong can be invited to participate more often.

Some researchers are really hard to deal with. If you go too lightly, it's useless; if you go too heavy, it won't work. If you just use theory, you can't beat them. So you have to use people like Gao Zhendong who are both civil and military and can combine theory with practice.

After a while, there were a lot more people in Gao Zhendong's address book. This time, there was not only the xxxxx mailbox, but also the xxxxx troops.

The xxxxx unit is a unit name used in external communications in order to conceal the unit's actual number.

If people in a certain place heard about the xx company of the xx division of the xx army, then those who were interested would immediately know that it was the heavy armored division of a certain Class A army that came here. But if they only heard about the xxxxx unit, most people would be confused.

After the meeting, it was already afternoon.

Gao Zhendong, who had upgraded the domestically-made armored personnel carrier in advance, rode his bike back to the courtyard with satisfaction.
-

This Friday is New Year's Day of 1960. Since 1950, New Year's Day has been a holiday.

The factory has issued an adjustment notice. Comrades in the administrative team will have holidays on Friday and Saturday and go to work on Sunday. The duty arrangements of on-duty personnel will be adjusted accordingly.

Gao Zhendong's technical department research laboratory is an administrative class. This is an alternative "double day off" since he started working. He must take this holiday as a way to experience the feeling of his previous life.

With the longing for a double day off, Gao Zhendong works particularly hard.

At this time, a small meeting was being held in an institution responsible for foreign affairs in Beijing.

The only topic of the meeting was a discussion on whether to export the DJS-59 transistor computer to the North.

Participants in the meeting included the leaders in charge of such affairs in the foreign affairs department, the Ministry of Foreign Trade (Ministry of Foreign Commerce), the Defense Work Committee, and leaders of several departments of the 12th Ministry of Machine Building.

At this time, this is not a trivial matter, so it is naturally better to have more people present.

Director Li and Chief Engineer Chi of the Computing Institute were also waiting outside the conference room. They were there to provide technical consulting support.

The comrade from the foreign affairs department who first received the request from the north introduced the whole situation and then concluded: "Dear leaders, comrades, this is the current situation. We invite you all to come here just to discuss and determine whether to export this type of equipment."

The Ministry of Foreign Trade hesitated for a moment and decided that if this happened, just like the 591 high-temperature alloy, they would be the executive department.

The Ministry of Foreign Trade, which has already tasted the sweetness from the export of 591 high-temperature alloy, naturally prefers to promote this matter. For no other reason, the pressure of repaying the debt is not small, and any relief is appreciated.

Therefore, the comrades from the Ministry of Foreign Trade expressed their opinions first. Although they were not decisive, it was a good thing to make their attitudes and difficulties clear earlier so that everyone could think more about it.

"From an economic perspective, we are inclined to sell. As you all know, the situation on both sides has changed a lot recently, which has led to increased pressure on us to repay the debt. Many agricultural, non-staple food and light industrial products that are urgently needed in the country have to be used to repay the debt, which has affected the improvement of the living standards of the domestic people."

After that, he added one more thing: "Just now, according to the other party's conditions, I calculated that according to the purchase quantity proposed by the other party and the price we expected, it can reach almost 10% of our annual expected debt repayment. This is a very large number, and it is impossible not to be tempted."

It has to be said that high-tech products are about making money. Otherwise, in Gao Zhendong's previous life, why would the United States try so hard to keep a tight grip on the high-tech industry?

The leader in charge of the foreign affairs department was also surprised when he heard this. He did some calculations in his mind and found that it was indeed true: "Well, the comrade from the Ministry of Foreign Trade is right. This amount of money is indeed very tempting. But can this thing be sold?"

After saying that, he looked towards the Defense Work Committee and the 12th Ministry of Machine Building.

The leader of the Defense Work Committee did not speak. He did not fully grasp the situation and was not clear about the technological advancement. Sensitivity often depends on advancement.

The people in the 12th Ministry of Machine Building should know about this matter, and he also looked at the leader of the 12th Ministry of Machine Building.

The leader of the 59th Machinery Department saw that everyone was looking at him, thought for a moment and said, "Strictly speaking, the strongest point of DJS- is not its speed, but its size, ease of use and maintainability. Our comrades from the Computing Institute can explain this clearly. Should we invite them in?"

After everyone nodded in agreement, Director Li and Chief Engineer Chi were invited in.

When he learned that everyone needed to clarify the advanced nature of DJS-59, Chief Engineer Chi said: "The advanced features of DJS-59 lie in two aspects: one is the material selection, and the other is the concept of a general-purpose computer."

"In terms of material selection, the core principle is actually the same as that of the vacuum tube computer, except that small-sized and low-power transistors are used instead of vacuum tubes. If the other party wants to produce it themselves, whether there is DJS-59 or not, they can design and produce it as long as they spend time. As for peripherals such as JP-59 and XS-59, there is no technical difficulty for them."

"From a pure speed perspective, the other party has a computer that is much faster than the DJS-59."

Everyone understands what I mean, which means that from the technical principles of design and manufacturing, there is no sensitivity.

"As for the idea of ​​general-purpose computers, this aspect can be exported randomly. Its advanced nature can only be realized through a perfect software environment, continuous iterative design, and development in accordance with the architecture of general-purpose computers."

Oh, advancement requires continuous design. As long as we have the ideas and people, this will not be a problem.

"For the other party, as long as they have the necessary supporting software, the assembly language compiler, combined with JP-59 and XS-59, it will be a huge improvement in convenience."

This makes it even clearer. Just give a part of it.

After roughly figuring out the situation, he asked Director Li and Chief Engineer Chi to wait.

The 12th Machinery Department spoke first: "It seems that this machine only improves the convenience and reliability of use. In terms of technology, others also have visible benefits, but it takes a little time. The most important benefit is invisible or unaware to them."

Since the other party did not request the transfer of technology, it was obvious that they did not value the technology of transistor computers.

With the conclusion of the 12th Ministry of Machinery, the Defense Work Committee was relatively relieved: "If this is the case, then from the perspective of the Defense Work Committee, export is not a big problem."
