Chapter 197 Gao Dapao is here too (3k)

By the time he got off work, Gao Zhendong had already debugged part of the telnet handshake negotiation on the server side. The set of "TCP/IP Protocol Detailed Explanation" contained not only the protocol itself, but also written routines.

At this time, he received a call from the Defense Work Committee, which was from the secretary of the committee leader.

He didn't say what it was, just asked him to go to the Defense Work Committee tomorrow morning. It was probably another meeting, Gao Zhendong thought.

The next day, he found the secretary of the leader who called him on time, knowing the place well, and was taken to the leader.

When the leader saw him coming, he said with a smile: "Director Zhendong, please come and have a seat. I invited you here this time for two things."

Gao Zhendong sat down and said with a smile, "Leader, please speak."

The leader took out a paper package and said, "The first one is that the manuscript fee for your book 'Multi-purpose Talent Skills Handbook' has arrived. The unit price is 10 yuan per thousand words, and the first print run is 5000, which is really not a small amount, haha."

Gao Zhendong then found out which department was specifically handling this matter. Gao Zhendong did not ask for the exact amount, but the number must be large, because although the thing was streamlined, it was still quite thick, and 5000 copies were printed.

Among the several books Gao Zhendong has published, this one-time payment for a single book should be the highest.

However, Gao Zhendong was not prepared to take the money.

He did not take it, but said to his leader: "Leader, I don't want this money, please use it for more appropriate purposes."

The leader was a little surprised. This number was not small, more than ten thousand. "Comrade Zhendong, don't worry about it. This is your personal legal income."

Gao Zhendong shook his head: "No, no, I have already published several books. If I was afraid of this, I would not accept the royalties for those books. I really don't want the royalties for this book."

Seeing that the leader of the Defense Work Committee was puzzled, he explained: "The reason for the creation of this book is that I want to help my comrades, so my idea is that all the income generated by it should also be used to help my comrades. Please help me with the specifics of how to do it. I personally don't have so much time. Of course, I have a little selfish motive. If it is to support individuals, I hope to give priority to my comrades in my platoon who meet the relevant conditions, hehe."

After hearing Gao Zhendong's words, the leaders of the Defense Work Committee finally understood what Gao Zhendong was thinking. He was worthy of being a member of the organization. Even if it was his own legal income, he was willing to use it to help others.

You have to know that this is not just 11 or yuan, and some people may not get this amount even if they work for a lifetime. To understand how much this money is, let's take an example: Gao Zhendong saw on the Internet in his previous life that the scientific research team working on the second-generation tank had a total of yuan per day for food during field tests.

The leader of the Defense Work Committee had once led troops, so he had no dissatisfaction with the little tail in Gao Zhendong's words. People are all kind-hearted.

He didn't try to make the other party push the other party. Since Comrade Gao Zhendong had this awareness, he would just help him get this done. He laughed and said, "Okay, since you have this intention, we will help you with this matter!"

Gao Zhendong smiled and nodded: "Thank you very much, leader. I really can't handle this matter if you want me to. By the way, leader, if there are subsequent print runs of this book, please do the same."

He did this not for any other reason. The main starting point was the reason he mentioned. As for other effects, they were all incidental.

For him, money is really not a problem. I'm not bragging. When the environment changes 20 years later, even if he is penniless, making money will still be a very easy thing for him. However, given his situation, his main goal is not money at all.

At this time, there are not many places to spend money. Instead of letting money become a number, it is better to make it play a greater role under appropriate circumstances.

The royalties from this book are very suitable for being given out. From the cause to the result, the whole process is closely linked and can be passed on as a good story. There is no sign of deliberateness at all.

The leader put the money away and took out a few books: "No problem, I'll ask the correspondent to do the relevant procedures and you can sign. It's no problem that you donated the money, but you should keep these sample books, haha."

Gao Zhendong took it with a smile: "You have to keep this. If it's gone, my girlfriend will definitely come to me and make trouble. She likes to collect my books. It would be even better if it's a sample book."

The leaders of the Defense Work Committee undoubtedly had a very good impression of Gao Zhendong, the legendary figure. They just found it interesting and laughed out loud.

After laughing, he talked about the second thing today: "I invited you here today for another reason. We are reviewing the design of our new rifle. You are an expert in metal materials and have some knowledge of machinery. You are also a frontline commander who has been on the battlefield and have rich combat experience. Your opinion is of great reference significance for the rifle design."

Sure enough, the ultimate goal was still to hold a meeting. This was also due to the success he had experienced in armored personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles. After all, there were not many people who had been on the battlefield and understood relevant technologies, and there were even fewer people who were as good as Gao Zhendong in both aspects.

As for the person to attend the meeting, Gao Zhendong calculated the time period and it should be the "integrated rifle" which is very famous in the circle but little known outside the circle.

Gao Zhendong, feeling as if it were true, followed his leader's secretary to the meeting room.

There were quite a few people in the conference room, most of them young people. The development of this gun started in 1958. Its researchers, except for the leader, were mainly senior students and graduates of the university. A considerable number of them entered the university in the same year as Gao Zhendong.

When the young Gao Zhendong entered the conference room, he did not attract the attention of the people in the conference room. After all, there were many young people here, and they were all Gao Zhendong's age.

Everyone was preparing to make a report, and people were coming and going. It was not convenient for Gao Zhendong to squeeze to the front where his seat card was placed, as it would have disturbed others.

So, he temporarily found a seat on the outer circle of the conference table and sat down.

A few people were chatting about the report not far in front of him.

"Have you heard that Gao Dapao also came to this meeting?" "Gao Dapao? Who is Gao Dapao?" someone asked.

Gao Zhendong was also very curious about this question. It seemed that another relative would also attend the meeting. And from what he said, he must be a well-known expert in the industry. He would really have to get to know him later.

"I heard that he is an external system expert hired by the committee."

"There are so many external system experts hired by the Commission. It's not surprising."

"This one is different. It's highly skilled, but has a bad temper."

Hearing this, Gao Zhendong almost laughed out loud. It seemed that this fellow had quite a personality. However, it was not strange for someone with high skills to have a personality.

Now he was even more curious.

"It's normal for people with skills to have a bad temper."

"You don't know, this guy is said to be very knowledgeable about artillery weapons, and he is ruthless when he speaks, and he has good skills, and every word he says hits the nail on the head."

When Gao Zhendong heard this, he thought to himself that as artillerymen, they needed to communicate more.

"Oh, you have to be careful. This kind of expert is the most difficult to deal with. Not only do they say unpleasant things, but what they say is also always right."

"Yes, yes. I heard that he has been on the battlefield, made contributions and received awards. He has rich practical combat experience and can always think of things that people like us who do research behind closed doors can't think of. I heard from my classmates that the group of people who worked on armored personnel carriers were almost scolded by him last time, but the representatives of the user parties basically agreed with what he said."

Gao Zhendong sat in the back with a strange look on his face. After listening for a long time, he thought, "Are you guys talking about me?"
When did I curse? I just made some comments and suggestions.

How did I become such a big shot? I have a very good temper, okay?

But at this time, he couldn't listen like this anymore, as it would easily lead to misunderstanding.

He coughed, stood up, and smiled at the few people who turned around after hearing the voice: "Hello comrades, I am Gao Zhendong."

A few people who were happily chatting about "Gao Dapao" were shocked and blushed when they saw Gao Dapao really standing next to them, looking at them with a smile.

It’s not that they didn’t pay attention to the occasion, but the main reason was that they never expected that the young man behind them, who was almost the same age as them, was actually the Gao Dapao they mentioned.

Gao Zhendong didn't say much to them. They were probably too embarrassed to say anything, so they just pretended nothing had happened.

He stood up and walked to the seat with his name tag and sat down.

At this moment, the whole audience was paying attention, including the representatives of the users of the firearms. The representatives of the users of the firearms were not from the armored vehicle group and did not know Gao Zhendong.

Otherwise, they would have come up to say hello long ago, and a few students studying firearms would not have caused such a big mistake.

Is this young man Gao Dapao?

Everyone present, regardless of gender, age, military or political background, experts or students, were surprised at Gao Zhendong's youth.

It has to be said that this light pretense that attracted the whole audience's attention made Gao Zhendong secretly happy.

Soon, the meeting began.

Gao Zhendong’s guess was very accurate, it was the “integrated rifle and assault rifle”.

Listening to the researchers' report, Gao Zhendong recalled a lot of information he had seen on the Internet in his previous life.

This was an unsuccessful gun. After it was put into service, it was soon eliminated by the object it replaced. The total production, including that for domestic and foreign use, was "only" over 200 million.

Why did they produce so much even though they were unsuccessful? This brings us back to the difference between a “big country” and a “small country”.

However, the failure of this gun was not mainly due to design problems. Its original design met the requirements put forward by the users, but these requirements were not in line with the development trend.

Coupled with the quality problems caused by manufacturing, the situation of a gun that was not in line with the development trend of tactics was made even worse.

At this time, the researchers' report was coming to an end.
