Chapter 151 4DL is no longer in business? (3k)

Gao Zhendong only prepared one copy, which the two leaders circulated in turn.

“Within five years, investment will be tilted towards semiconductor manufacturing”

“Research institutes conduct research related to semiconductor manufacturing.”

"Add relevant majors in colleges and universities to cultivate computer talents, especially programming talents"

"Extensively promote the application of computers in military technology, and at the same time promote their civilian application"

“Develop general-purpose and embedded computers of two common specifications, and maintain a certain iteration speed”

"Top research institutes and universities keep track of large and giant computer technology"

“Carry out research on various computer application software.”

“Carry out research on inter-computer communication technology.”

To be honest, in the current environment, many suggestions cannot be made. At the same time, those that are too long-term are useless. The reasons are obvious.

So Gao Zhendong just wanted to plant more seeds and try to lay a good foundation, so that when the conditions are right and development begins again, there might be a chance to turn things around early.

What are seeds? They are nothing more than people, basic technology, and applications.

If these can form a certain scale that users find it difficult to give up, then perhaps a certain level of development can be maintained.

As for where computers are used and where they are less affected when there are changes, it goes without saying that the military is.

As for network technology, Gao Zhendong did not mention it explicitly, but only laid a little foreshadowing. This thing is a bit evil, just look at the weird situation of OGAS made by the Russians. We have to wait and see, or make it first.

So, in the end, Gao Zhendong wrote something that looked a little strange.

However, the two leaders felt that this thing was very useful, although some of the words in it were incomprehensible.

As they watched, the two asked Gao Zhendong to explain some things they didn't quite understand.

The original purpose: to determine the plan for the development of the next generation of computers and determine whether it has the potential to maintain its advanced status, was temporarily thrown out of the window.

Finally, the two of them stopped communicating with Gao Zhendong very satisfied. Although the paper was only one page, its content was very rich.

The people from the Computing Institute and Factory 1274 who participated in the discussions from time to time also gained a lot. However, since some of them could not keep up with or fully understand Gao Zhendong's ideas decades later, they did not fully understand some things for the time being.

Nothing can be decided here. After all, this is not the purpose of today's meeting, and the organization and configuration of the participants are not appropriate.

However, Gao Zhendong has already thrown these things out in front of the departments that have the closest ties with computers, attracting their attention. At least in the National Defense Work Committee and the 12th Ministry of Machine Building, some action should be taken next.

After discussing Gao Zhendong's paper, everyone finally remembered the purpose of today's meeting. The leader of the Defense Work Committee said to the leader of the 12th Ministry of Machinery: "It seems that there is no need to worry about maintaining the advanced nature. Comrade Zhendong's idea can solve this problem as long as a small part of it can be implemented."

The leader of the 12th Ministry of Machine Building laughed and said, "The concept of the next generation computer before he took out this piece of paper is enough. There is no need to use what is on this piece of paper. Hahahaha."

The two finally decided to notify the Foreign Affairs and foreign businessmen, and asked the Defense Work Committee and the 59th Ministry of Machine Building to verify that domestic computers have the ability to maintain their advanced status, and the two departments have no objection to the export of DJS-.

When the meeting was over, Gao Zhendong was stopped by the leader of the Defense Work Committee.

"Comrade Zhendong, I have an idea that has been on my mind since the last 4DL meeting, but I haven't been able to think it through. I would like to consult you."

"Leader, I don't deserve it. Please speak."

"Last time I remember you mentioned 4DL's combat method, you mentioned 'not just transport, but also assault with the tanks'? Do you have a complete idea?"

Gao Zhendong then remembered that he was the one who brought out the concept of infantry fighting vehicles at that time. He did not expect that the leaders of the Defense Work Committee were so perceptive and grasped it at once.

He smiled sheepishly: "My own random thoughts may not be correct or complete."

The leader of the Defense Work Committee laughed and said, "That's a good idea. I need people like you to think more about it. Come and tell us what you think. Say whatever you want to say."

Gao Zhendong thought for a moment and said, "In my opinion, for core, elite, and spearhead armored assault forces, the armored transport vehicle's combat mode of 'transport - get off - fight - get on - transport' has problems such as long combat status transition time, insufficient support, low mission flexibility, and weak attack power."

"So I thought, should we upgrade the armored transport vehicles into 'infantry fighting vehicles' in the elite armored forces?"

"Infantry fighting vehicle? This concept is interesting."

"Yes, infantry fighting vehicle." Gao Zhendong emphasized again: "Compared with armored transport vehicles, it has stronger infantry support firepower and certain anti-armor performance. The armor is also thicker and heavier than that of armored transport vehicles, and can completely resist the attack of all infantry weapons except anti-armor firepower."

The leader of the Defense Work Committee also responded quickly: "You mean, it's a vehicle that is specifically designed to bully land combat units below tanks?" Gao Zhendong nodded: "Yes, the main task of this vehicle is to complete the infantry's combat mission and directly cooperate with the tank troops in assault operations. At the same time, it can also cause fatal blows to light armored vehicles or non-armored vehicles, freeing up tank firepower. And when the infantry is attacking, it can also provide powerful accompanying attack firepower support in time."

Then, Gao Zhendong threw another bait: "If we can have suitable efficient and cheap anti-tank weapons, such as anti-tank missiles, and the crew can control them from inside the vehicle, then when necessary, we can even fight against the enemy's tank forces together with the tanks."

As soon as these words came out, the Defense Committee leader's eyes lit up immediately: "This is a good idea! In this way, when facing a weaker enemy, we can rely on armor and firepower to bully the weaker one, and when facing a stronger enemy, we can cooperate with tanks to defeat the larger one with the smaller one. Great!!"

The leader couldn't think of much at the moment, but the little he could think of made him think this thing was good. Of course, he was not without worries.

"Is it expensive?"

"It should be much cheaper than a tank. I estimate it to be one-fourth to one-eighth of the price."

The leader of the Defense Work Committee was immediately furious: "Then we don't have 4DL anymore! Replace the armored personnel carrier with the infantry fighting vehicle you mentioned!"

This frightened Gao Zhendong: "No, leader, this is still much more expensive than an armored personnel carrier. This is a large-scale equipment. I think if you really want to do it, you can equip elite troops."

The leader of the Defense Work Committee calmed down and laughed: "I'm so excited. This thing can be done. I'll push it forward and make a demonstration first. Comrade Zhendong, you must come and participate when the time comes!"

Gao Zhendong stood at attention: "I promise to be there whenever you call!"

After attending the meeting at the 12th Ministry of Machine Building, Gao Zhendong rode his bike back to the Third Steel Rolling Mill. The meeting didn't have much on the agenda and was quite fast, taking less than the entire morning.

Since there is still a lot of time left, I can’t just go home, I still have to work to do.

When he returned to the factory, it was lunch time. Gao Zhendong went straight to the cafeteria. While queuing for food, he saw Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu talking and laughing. When serving the food, Sha Zhu's hands did not shake.

At this time, Sha Zhu had not yet accepted Ma Hua as his apprentice, so he had to personally do the cooking.

After dinner, Gao Zhendong returned to his office, took out a piece of draft paper, and began to write an application.

This application was submitted directly to the 17th Ministry of Machine Building in the name of the Technical Department.

The 17th Ministry of Machine Building has a special fund, which is now handed over to the research laboratory of the Technical Department for management and use. There are no restrictions on specific research topics.

What Gao Zhendong wants to use now is this money, not all of it, but part of it.

——"Application for research on single crystal pulling furnace".

He planned to make the single crystal furnace he had drawn the day before. Many things he had on hand took time to make, but this furnace could be made relatively quickly.

It had to be fast. He didn't want the second-generation general-purpose computer he was planning to rely on chips from Hong Kong or through special channels.

If everything goes well, perhaps many military industrial units will have some surprises, such as when the Grassland Tractor Factory actually develops the next generation of tank fire control.
-

At this time, in a laboratory at the Grassland Tractor Factory, which Gao Zhendong was thinking about.

Mr. Luo looked at the results of the fire extinguishing and explosion suppression system researchers, and the corners of his mouth twitched a little. He got anxious before he even waited for the test to begin.

He pointed to a button switch on the fire extinguishing and explosion suppression system and said, "Is this your automatic fire extinguishing and explosion suppression system? Does it rely on people to press it?"

The person in charge of fire extinguishing and explosion suppression had a bitter face: "Boss Luo, there are no suitable sensors."

"Thermistor?"

"Apart from anything else, the temperature range is too low, not suitable, and the stability is poor."

"What about the platinum resistor?"

"It's too expensive, and the reaction time is too long. τ0.5 takes dozens of seconds. By the time it sends a signal, the daylily is cold. It's better to press it by hand."

Mr. Luo was so angry that he laughed: "What do you call this 'automatic'? Huh?"

“It’s semi-automatic.”

Mr. Luo was a little speechless and took another look at the fire extinguisher: "You chose this thing as the fire extinguisher? The tank driver was not killed by the explosion but was suffocated to death by you!"

The person in charge of fire extinguishing and explosion suppression had a bitter face: "This test is mainly to test the system principle and the reliability of the fire extinguishing mechanism. Other things will be discussed later."

Mr. Luo also knew that the conditions were difficult and everyone had done their best. In fact, this problem was not solved until the next generation of tanks ten years later. It was not truly solved until almost 20 years later.

After thinking for a while, Mr. Luo, who was the chief engineer after all, actually came up with a solution: "Let me think of a solution for you. Maybe it will work. We have a new type of thermal sensor, N-type thermocouple, in our armored steel refining area. You can take a look at it. Maybe it can solve your sensor problem."
