Chapter 494 But the blind can’t do it!
When Lao He saw these two words, he was startled.

The fewer words, the bigger the matter!
Even when Mr. Gao summoned him in the past, he rarely used this method.

There are good products! And they are really good products!
Without saying a word, Lao He put down what he was doing, called together two key members, and quickly boarded the nearest train.

What? Afraid of not having a ticket? At times like this, some special regulations have to be used.

Even if you are sitting on the roof of a coal car or in a sealed tank car, you have to rush over as soon as possible.

Of course, it wasn't that unlucky in reality. The three of them were squeezed in the conductor's lounge at one end of the train. They actually felt a little regretful. It would have been better to sit on the roof of the coal car. It's not like they had sat on it before.

It's not that the conductor's lounge is bad. In fact, it's already the best condition. It's just that they dare not discuss anything here. The sound insulation is just average. Apart from the weather, eating, and going to the toilet, they can't talk about other work matters.

This made them feel very depressed, especially Lao He. What did Mr. Gao want us to do? They couldn't say it, and they couldn't guess it. It was so uncomfortable.

By the time Lao He finally got to Beijing, saying "what's more", it was already noon two or three days later. The railway from Beijing to Jiuyuan was quite good. It was opened in 1923 and was more than 800 kilometers long. It didn't seem very far, but the speed of the trains at that time was not good.

Lao He brought his men and hurriedly found Gao Zhendong.

"Mr. Gao, what good news do you have?" It must be good news, Lao He was very sure.

Gao Zhendong, however, was smiling, as if saying, "I know you are in a hurry, but don't be anxious yet."

"Don't worry, don't worry. Let's eat first and then go to the guesthouse to rest."

Old He was so anxious that he scratched his head and said, "Mr. Gao, you can't be so fragmented."

It’s not that Gao Zhendong wanted to make fun of Lao He. The main reason is that the thermal imager can be used during the day, and the thermal imager during the day is also very important. However, the first observation is definitely not as shocking as at night.

And this time, he summoned more than just the Grassland Tractor Factory.

Lao He had no choice but to suppress his curiosity. He took his people to eat something and went to the guesthouse of the Third Rolling Mill to rest. He indeed had not had a good rest in the past few days.

When the comrades at the Third Rolling Mill Guesthouse saw their letters of introduction and work permits, they quickly completed the formalities and handed them the keys.

"Top floor, 403."

A comrade who came with Lao He frowned and said with a smile: "Comrade, can you give us a room on the first floor? We are a little tired after sitting on the train for a long time and don't want to climb the stairs."

The comrade at the guest house laughed and said, "Comrade, this is not possible. The factory security department has a rule that comrades who come to the third factory can only live on that floor in principle."

Lao He roughly knew what was going on. He thanked the comrades at the guesthouse and took his people upstairs. When passing by the entrance to the corridor on the 4th floor, he greeted the comrades inside and checked their documents again.

At eight o'clock in the evening, it was already dark. Lao He ate something and brought his people to the third factory. A comrade led them in.

We arrived at a laboratory, which was different from the ones we usually saw. There was a window that was wide open and there was a device next to the window.

Lao He glanced at the people in the laboratory. There were not many, but they were all simple. He didn’t know the other comrades very well, but there was one person he knew, the head of the Defense Work Committee!
Now that even he's here, it's going to be a big deal.

Gao Zhendong was naturally here, chatting with the leaders of the Defense Work Committee.

"Zhendong, you only told me that there was something good and asked me to come over, but you didn't tell me what it was. You are deliberately making things difficult for me, right?" The leader of the Defense Work Committee complained crazily.

Gao Zhendong replied with a smile: "Leader, surprises are always more interesting at the end. Just think of it as you are in a good mood and have fun with us guys."

Since they were so familiar with each other, Gao Zhendong spoke to his leader without any reservations.

Gao Zhendong looked at the sky. Everyone had arrived. They were all staring at him with bright eyes.

He stood up and said with a smile: "I invited all the leaders and colleagues here today to show you a new equipment. I think you must be very interested in it."

All the comrades were silent, why don’t you just take it out?

Although everyone can guess that it should be the device with a monitor by the window, no one can guess what that device is used for.

Generally speaking, people's imagination is limited to what they know. It becomes difficult to think beyond that. This is why in most science fiction works, aliens look like humans.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were gradually becoming hostile, Gao Zhendong knew that if he dragged on, his comrades might take action. Besides, it was almost time for the sun to rise. He did not keep them in suspense and said with a smile, "Everyone, follow me."

Everyone followed him and walked towards the device by the window. Gao Zhendong pressed the switch and unscrewed a gas cylinder next to it. Everyone was familiar with this thing.

"Don't be impatient, wait."

Seeing the numbers on the display jumping around, everyone was a little confused. What was this?
Only Engineer Lu from the Institute of Research and Development seemed to have remembered something and said "Ah", but he was at a loss for words. Everyone looked at him and continued to watch the number on the display go down. Suddenly, there was a beep and the device issued a prompt sound.

Gao Zhendong operated on the keyboard for a few times, and in less than a second, the monitor flashed and showed a picture.

It was a black and white image, about one-third the length and width of the monitor. The picture showed a GAZ-69, which almost everyone here had ridden in.

But the image of the car looks of very poor quality, a little blurry, and the details of the bright and dark areas do not look the same as in ordinary photos. Some places, such as the hood of the car, are abnormally bright and distorted.

I can only say that it can be recognized at a glance that this is a GAZ-69, but the image quality is not satisfactory.

Everyone was a little confused. President Gao called so many people here with great fanfare just to show everyone a picture, and the quality was so poor?
If someone from the computing institute were here, they would probably be very happy. It seems that Mr. Gao has created a standard image format. From now on, we can have images on computers? Then our emails can transmit even more things!

However, none of the people here today are from the Institute of Computing Technology, and they do not realize that this picture itself is a small progress in computer application.

Amid everyone's confusion, the leader of the Defense Work Committee looked at Gao Zhendong and said, "Zhendong, you just wanted to show us this picture? What other secrets are there in this picture?"

He knew that Gao Zhendong was definitely not the kind of person who would find a picture to make fun of everyone, but what the secret was, he had to wait for Gao Zhendong to reveal it.

Before Gao Zhendong could say anything, Engineer Lu from the Institute of Directed Research shouted, "Ah, this... this... is impossible?"

Everyone: Fuck! You scared me. What the hell are you doing?

Everyone looked at him, only to see him quickly rush to the wide open window and search carefully downwards for something.

Gao Zhendong did not stop him, but just watched his movements with a smile.

Mr. Lu pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, searched a bit, and soon he found what he was looking for.

He turned around, pointed his finger downwards, and laughed at everyone: "There it is! There it is! Haha! Really, this is true! It's incredible! Mr. Gao, you are a genius!"

Seeing that Gao Zhendong smiled without saying anything and did not correct him, everyone knew that the secret was underneath.

Led by the leaders of the Prevention Working Committee, the leaders of various units all crowded to the window, and for a while the window was crowded.

Everyone looked down in the direction of Lu Gong's hand, and saw a GAZ-69 quietly parked in the open space below in the hazy night. It was vaguely visible and there was a slight sound of the engine running.

The leader of the Defense Work Committee turned his head abruptly and looked at the monitor again. This time he understood.

The GAZ-69 on the monitor is the one below!
As for why Gao Zhendong's device can see the car clearly at a glance in the pitch-black night as if it were broad daylight, there is only one answer.

——Gao Zhendong made a device that can make the night as bright as day!

Although the image looks a little blurry, although the image quality is relatively poor, and although the details and characteristics look very different from the black and white photos taken during the day, it doesn't matter.

Damn, I can see clearly at night!

This is the only idea in the leader's mind. Infrared headlights can also be seen, but there is still some gap from seeing clearly, and that thing is just a flashlight at night, looking for trouble.

Gao Zhendong's equipment has no searchlight equipment except an optical lens, which means it relies on its own capabilities to sharpen a pair of eyes in the dark.

As a veteran of the battlefield and a leader in charge of military equipment, he knows the significance of this thing very well.

In the era when night vision equipment was still immature, night combat was our forte. We beat the American people in more than a dozen countries into a state of nervous breakdown.

As technology advanced, our warriors remained as brave as ever, but their equipment began to level our advantages in training and will.

As for Gao Zhendong's equipment, in his opinion, there is only one sentence: night battles are still my world!
In fact, the uses of thermal imagers are far more than this, but that is not important.

Functions can be developed slowly, what’s important is that now we have this thing, then everything is possible!
Lu Gong from the Institute of Guidance and Research, Mr. He from the Grassland Tractor Factory, Mr. Luo from the Changjian Machinery Factory, and representatives of the Armored Forces.
Everyone looked at Gao Zhendong and applauded loudly.

The leader of the Defense Work Committee patted Gao Zhendong's shoulders and said, "Zhendong, well done! Well done!"

He couldn't think of any fancy words to praise Gao Zhendong at the moment, and could only use the simplest and plain words to express his feelings at the moment.

As we all know, if forced into a corner, a lame man, a one-armed man, or a deaf man can all fight. If they have a pistol, they can fight against a normal person.

——But the blind can’t do that.
