Chapter 402: Where Do You Think Starlight Guidance Comes From?

Just as the comrades from the propaganda department were happily putting tapes into their bags, Gao Zhendong remembered something.

"By the way, comrade, you are familiar with the publishing and purchasing of books, right?"

In response to Gao Zhendong's question, the comrade from the propaganda department answered very straightforwardly: "Overall, I am quite familiar with it. Chief Engineer Gao, do you have any needs?"

Even if you are not familiar with him, you have to get familiar with him. At worst, you can go back and find someone you are really familiar with.

Gao Zhendong laughed and said, “Well, that’s what I told you, you have to find a professional.”

"It's like this. I want to buy a batch of books related to medicine. I want you to help me with it. You are more professional in this field. It is really difficult for me to do this."

So this is it. That means we are really familiar with it. The comrades in the propaganda department breathed a sigh of relief.

"Which department do you want? Are there any specific requirements?"

Gao Zhendong's answer made him immediately realize the seriousness of the matter. No wonder Chief Engineer Gao wanted to find a professional.

"No requirements, no specialization. I just want to see what medical books are available in bookstores now. Can you get a list? Of course, ancient rare books are not included. They are unpredictable and difficult to count."

Hiss~~~~~~The comrades from the Propaganda Department took a deep breath. No wonder he had to find a professional even to buy a book. This requirement was not something that ordinary people could achieve.

"Hey, Chief Engineer Gao, I really can't answer you right now. How about I go back and do some statistics and then get back to you?"

Gao Zhendong also knew that his request was really out of line, so after thinking about it he added some specific requirements, otherwise it would be like a tiger trying to eat the sky, with nowhere to start.

"Well, it's like this. My wife was admitted to a medical university, so I want to prepare some books for her in advance. They should mainly be about diagnosis and treatment methods, means, prescriptions, and medications. They should be more practical, and theoretical ones should be secondary."

Gao Zhendong's addition made the comrades in the propaganda department feel the malice from life. Fortunately, there is no such thing as eating dog food these days.

After listening to Gao Zhendong's words, they felt that Gao Zhendong was more down-to-earth. It turned out that scientists also need to get married and have children just like us.

"Well, okay, I'll make a note of it. Don't worry, I'll get this done as soon as I get back and give you a list."

While saying this, the comrades in the propaganda department were secretly thinking that they should prepare one for application, one for theoretical research, one for medicine, and one for pharmacy.
Others may not want it, but you have to provide it. If you want to get things done, you have to do it well.

Gao Zhendong thanked him profusely. It turned out that this really solved a big problem for him.

After seeing off the comrades from the Propaganda Department, Gao Zhendong happily strolled over to the computer room. His operating system had already entered the final stage.
-
Deep in the desert, in a base, several scientific researchers are reading a scientific and technological intelligence bulletin and a newspaper.

Among these people, two are acquaintances of Gao Zhendong.

"Our comrades who are engaged in tactical missiles have done a good job. They have set a world precedent by using improved domestic imitation missiles to sink two enemy ships in one fell swoop. This is a step forward compared to the record of shooting down enemy aircraft with purely imported air defense missiles a few years ago."

The record for air defense missiles was achieved with imported missiles, and the record for anti-ship missiles was achieved with domestically produced imitation missiles. The progress is indeed obvious.

"Yes, Lao Zhang, the comrades who are working on tactical ammunition have made great achievements. We can't fall behind. We have to work harder."

Mr. Zhang, who is in charge of the ballistic missile guidance system and is also Gao Zhendong's senior, smiled and said, "We are working on it. We have already made some progress in starlight guidance. After many tests in the clear night sky, it has been proven that the DJS-60DJ has the calculation and comparison capabilities required for starlight guidance. However, a single DJS-60DJ can only do this one thing and nothing else."

Mr. Cai laughed and said, "Tsk, it's no big deal, just go to another machine and do something else."

Compared to the cost of ballistic missiles, the price of a single DJS-60DJ is really not a big deal.

Mr. Zhang was also happy: "Yes, yes, the money you save on fuel is more than enough to buy me more computers."

According to Gao Zhendong's suggestion, the yield of UDMH was successfully increased to more than 70%. In addition, the conditions required for room temperature storage were greatly reduced. The entire system saved a lot of money in terms of fuel and rocket engines.

The two men laughed loudly, and President Cai sighed, "Old Zhang, you're right, your junior brother has really helped a lot. The technical level of the self-developed missile is more than one level higher than we originally expected."

At the beginning of strategic ballistic missiles, the idea was to use imitation missiles for training, and the actual use began with self-developed missiles.

In Gao Zhendong's previous life, he directly copied the first type of ballistic missile, the "War Drum No. 1". After the successful copying, it was transferred to technical reserves and was never put into service. The one that was put into service was the "War Drum No. 2", which had undergone a lot of improvements based on the copy.

After all, we are not stupid. The prototype bullet provided by the Russians is outdated. It has a short range, is difficult to use, and has poor accuracy. Even if we succeed in copying it, it is meaningless to make a lot of it. Especially the range of 600 kilometers, I really don't know who it can be used to hit. It is only enough to hit the Koreans and the dirty three. If it can only hit two of them, it is really useless.

This is different from the short-range missiles of the future. Most of the short-range missiles of the future are equipped with conventional warheads, while the ballistic missiles at this time are very expensive and must at least be equipped with fission warheads.

The two were chatting happily when Mr. Jin, the chief designer in charge of the overall missile design, came in with a scientific and technological intelligence report.

As soon as he came in, he greeted Mr. Zhang happily: "Mr. Zhang, I read the intelligence report this time, combined with the anti-ship missile battle example, and found something interesting that may be useful to you."

Mr. Zhang raised the materials in his hand and said, "I am also reading it, but I haven't finished it yet. Mr. Jin, what did you find?"

President Jin flipped open the materials in his hand and pointed to a few lines: "'The imitation of the Zhengxian No. 1 anti-ship missile uses a new inertial navigation principle, cancels the inertial platform, reduces the weight of the system, reduces costs, and greatly improves the maintainability of the equipment.' Lao Zhang, you are working on this, take a look, isn't it interesting?"

Mr. Zhang hadn't looked here yet. When he saw where Mr. Jin was pointing, his face changed and his mind started working frantically.

After thinking for a long time, he said with a bit of shame: "Boss Jin, to be honest, I can't think of what technical means they use to solve this problem, but I can be sure that eliminating the inertial platform will also bring us a lot of benefits."

Logically, he should be the top technician in this field, but he didn't expect that he was not as good as the comrades who were working on tactical missiles. He couldn't even think of any ideas. This made him feel a little embarrassed.

President Jin didn't care about his shame: "You don't have to be embarrassed. When it comes to technology, no one is omniscient and omnipotent. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. This only proves that the comrades who are engaged in anti-ship missiles are working hard, but it doesn't mean that you are not working hard. So, ask through the Defense Work Committee."

As the country's most important weapons and national treasures, they undoubtedly have the highest priority, so the Defense Work Committee acted quickly.

After receiving the secret request, we immediately sent a letter to the Anti-Ship Missile Research Institute for inquiry.

The Anti-Ship Missile Research Institute was also very straightforward. It immediately encrypted the relevant information and handed it over to the Defense Work Committee, and also provided the source of the technology.

As usual, the leader of the Defense Work Committee would go over the purpose of this kind of material. He might not understand the professional stuff very well, but he would still recognize the people's names.

The three words "Gao Zhendong" came into his sight. He was stunned for a long while. Why the hell is he here?

Only then did he remember that during a meeting, Gao Zhendong had mentioned to him that he had helped with the "strapdown inertial navigation" of the anti-ship missile.

At that time, he didn't know what the strapdown inertial navigation system was used for, but now it seems that it is undoubtedly a very important thing, otherwise people from the desert would not have asked about this specifically.

Looking at the words "The Third Steel Rolling Plant of the Seventeenth Ministry of Machine Building" on the information provided by the Anti-Ship Missile Research Institute, I always feel a little bit amused. It looks really interesting.

As for transferring Gao Zhendong? He had no such idea. Everything was fine now, so he shouldn't make a fuss. Maybe the environment of the Third Rolling Mill was the most suitable for Gao Zhendong.

The encrypted data packet from the Defense Work Committee was quickly received in the desert, and both General Manager Jin and General Manager Zhang began to read it on the computer with great interest.

Seeing this, Mr. Zhang was like a chicken with its neck strangled, unable to utter a single word, “this, this, this”.

President Jin laughed and said, "What? Are you so excited about seeing the prey?" He just thought that President Zhang was very happy after seeing all the information about the strapdown inertial navigation system.

Who knew that Mr. Zhang pointed at a name on the document and said, "Mr. Jin, didn't you say that no one can be omniscient and omnipotent? But this person is at least a little bit like that. It's amazing!"

President Jin was shocked by his statement: "Are you kidding?"

Mr. Zhang shook his head and said, "It's not that I know everything, but he has a lot of wonderful ideas in his head. This guy is my junior in college. You see he works in the steel mill, so you know he must have some knowledge in metal materials, right?"

President Jin nodded: "Yes, I can see that, but it says here that strapdown inertial navigation also comes from the technical principles he proposed, which is amazing. At least the span across disciplines is huge."

Mr. Zhang shook his head. “Not only that, I don’t know about other confidential things, but I know that a lot of things related to us were proposed by him.”

"A bunch?" President Jin looked at President Zhang as if he was a madman. If you don't know how to use a quantifier, then don't use it.

Mr. Zhang didn't care at all: "Guess who came up with the Starlight Guidance that I'm working on?"

　The second chapter will be released around 2pm today.
