Chapter 496 Bigger is Better

Gao Zhendong replaced the gas cylinder and smiled at his surprised comrades: "Well, actually, there is something else for you to see. Sorry to keep you for a while, hey, hey, it will be quick. That thing is the same as this thing, just the size is different."

Fuck, are you done yet?

Too much, too much.

Everyone was in pain and happy at the same time. To be honest, the amount of information tonight was too much and the subversion was too strong, making everyone feel a little unreal.

Is this something we can make now?
When they heard that Gao Zhendong had something else, everyone felt a little unbearable.

The dosage of today's medicine is a bit high.

Gao Zhendong walked to the side and lifted the cover of another piece of equipment.

Hey, this thing has a twin brother. This one looks almost the same as the previous one. The biggest difference is that the iron box behind the optical system is bigger.

Under everyone's curious eyes, Gao Zhendong replaced the one in front of the window with the new one.

The next steps are basically the same: cooling and powering on.

A picture also appeared on the monitor. Experienced comrades could see that this was also the surveillance image of the thermal imager.

But the difference is that the length and width of this picture are half the size of the previous one, and the display area of ​​the entire image is a little more than twice as large.

The same image appears clearer here, with richer details, which is more conducive to identification and interpretation.

But not everything develops in a good direction. This picture is strangely divided into two halves, the upper and lower halves. Both halves are clear, but the background colors of the two halves are obviously different, presenting a very strange state.

The human eye can see at a glance that this image is a complete image, but the upper and lower halves are very distinct.

Everyone is very curious, what does this mean?
But there is no doubt that the benefits of clearer images are self-evident.

Gao Zhendong said: "This one is different from the previous one. The previous one is the maximum resolution that can be achieved under the existing conditions without using other technical means to ensure image consistency."

Everyone understands, "consistency" is the key.

No wonder the new image looks like a yin-yang face. It turns out that no consistency correction was done.

However, what surprised everyone was that this "inconsistency" was quite consistent, strictly divided into two halves, upper and lower. It seemed that Gao Zhendong was quite capable. He made the "inconsistency" so unique and regular, and it was still easy for the human eye to distinguish.

This is just a figment of the imagination. The upper and lower halves of the linear array come from two different crystals. However, no one could think of the concept of "linear array", so naturally they had to attribute it to Gao Zhendong.

Although it is a bit regrettable, everyone is still very interested in this.

"I think this one can be used too. Anyway, I can understand it." The armored comrades have a simple idea - "bigger is better"!
The leader of the Defense Work Committee also thought so, but he thought a little more because he knew Gao Zhendong better.

"Zhendong, can this inconsistency be compensated and adjusted?"

When the leader said this, everyone's eyes lit up. It had to be the leader. Some of the others couldn't think of it, while others had thought of it but didn't dare to ask.

Gao Zhendong nodded: "Yes, it's because we ran out of time and didn't make a compensation circuit. In principle, it can be compensated. It will just increase the complexity of the system and increase some costs."

Gao Zhendong had already thought of it. He divided the infrared photodiodes into two groups. Each group consisted of diodes from the same crystal, and used two acquisition circuits to scan and collect the two groups of diodes.

This can bring two benefits. One is that the two acquisition circuits can be set with different compensation gain coefficients, so that the final output can be adjusted to be basically consistent, which can basically solve the inconsistency problem.

Second, the scanning is divided into two groups within the specified time, so the acquisition time of each photodiode is increased, which is equivalent to increasing the exposure time in disguise.

Of course, there are some advantages to it, such as if one set of glasses is broken, at least you can still see half of it, just like Gao Zhendong's junior high school classmate broke his glasses, and he could temporarily use half of the lens to look at the blackboard, and he still could attend class.

After listening to Gao Zhendong's general explanation, the leaders of the Defense Work Committee and the comrades of the Armored Forces looked at each other.

"Zhendong, let's do it! Try to go for the big one, and if it doesn't work, go back to the small one. It doesn't matter if the cost is a little higher, but we are willing to pay the price."

For them, this means playing for the championship from the second place. With the backup of 96*64, they might as well look up and believe in Comrade Gao Zhendong. Seeing how well-informed he is, the success rate should be very high.

As for the cost, since they are in this position and have so much experience, they naturally know where to save money and where to spend money.

It's not about spending when you should, but spending when you can, because some money cannot be spent just because you want to. It's worth being happy if you can spend it.

Gao Zhendong smiled and nodded: "Okay, leader. I am quite confident about this. Come on, everyone try it and feel it."

Gao Zhendong gave up the control of the machine and let everyone operate it and experience this thing that can be called black technology.

"Will this... break down?" The leader hesitated. "Don't worry, this thing is going to be used on the battlefield, even if it's a prototype, it's not that fragile."

Then we won’t be polite. We have been itching to do it for a long time but just didn’t have the courage to say it.

Including the leaders of the Defense Work Committee, everyone gathered around with great interest, and played with it like children who had received a new toy, having a great time.

Turn your head, pitch, zoom in, zoom out...

If Gao Zhendong's demonstration was just a mechanical demonstration of the functions of the machine without any operational feel, then the operation of these experienced operators on the battlefield was well in line with their observation habits on the battlefield.

This set of things has further enhanced their intuitive feeling. This thing really works!
And they are more interested in the 144*96 outsole.

从2K到4K，可能没啥感觉，但是96*64到144*96的提升，那感受是很直观的。

What does "a bigger bottom can kill people" mean? This is it.

The armored comrades had only one thought in their minds: "We'll have to sell everything we have to install this thing on the tank!"

Lao He played with the machine for a long time and then walked to Gao Zhendong's side.

"Boss Gao, you really are the one who takes the best care of our troops, hahahaha."

If this thing is installed on the second-generation tank, wow, he doesn't know what the new foreign tanks will look like. Anyway, he thinks that there is absolutely no chance of comparing with our second-generation tanks.

Hearing this, Engineer Lu of the Guidance Research Institute laughed and said, "Old He, this is not right. How can you form cliques? Don't you think so? Chief Engineer Gao."

No, what did you mean by calling him “Chief Engineer Gao” at the end?
Gao Zhendong laughed and said, "There's no hope for the Raiden-1 modification. We can't use this thing."

Lao Lu didn't care. Just because he couldn't get in now didn't mean he couldn't get in in the future. There was still hope, there was still hope.

He smiled and said, "We have not yet been able to fully utilize the capabilities of the orthogonal quaternion detector. This is really too advanced. Mr. Gao, regarding the modification of the Thunderbolt-1, can you spare some time to come and take a look at our proposed new missile body plan?"

As Gao Zhendong said, it is not possible to modify the missile body of Thunderbolt-1, otherwise the seeker will be wasted. In addition to the new seeker, the plan for the new missile body has been almost finalized and can be submitted to the meeting.

Gao Zhendong nodded: "No problem, just let me know at any time."

The comrades from the armored troops also had enough fun and came over to find Gao Zhendong.

"This thing is great! You are the deputy chief designer of the second-generation tank, I won't say more, haha! Well, regarding the reconnaissance vehicle and command vehicle you mentioned just now, do you have anything to report to the research and development unit?"

Everyone likes things like reconnaissance vehicles and command vehicles, which can accomplish great things with little money and may not look like they are armed to the teeth, but are actually force multipliers.

Gao Zhendong shook his head: "No, this thing is just an idea for me. The details are definitely not as clear and understandable as they go to the troops to investigate in person. I won't say much, so as not to affect their thinking. I just have one small suggestion..."

It’s good to have suggestions, size is not important, and this is especially true for Comrade Gao Zhendong’s suggestions.

"You tell me, and I'll tell them."

"The reconnaissance vehicle must use a folding lifting arm to lift the infrared and optical reconnaissance equipment as high as possible. The command vehicle must take into account the redundant design of data communications."

Comrade Gao Zhendong is good in every way except that he doesn't know how to count. These are clearly two suggestions.

The armored comrades took notes. Well, these two points do not need to be discussed. From now on, they will be officially included in the mandatory technical and tactical requirements for reconnaissance vehicles and command vehicles.

People passed by Gao Zhendong like flowing water, discussing things that concerned them.

Not long after, the leader of the Defense Work Committee came over and looked at Gao Zhendong: "Good job! Thank you for your hard work."

Gao Zhendong shook his head: "Fortunately, other comrades also made a lot of efforts. The mercury cadmium telluride crystal has 1761 contributions, the infrared photodiode has 1274 efforts, and the optical system manufacturing was coordinated by the Institute of Optics and Technology."

The leader smiled and said, "I know that the comrades have cooperated very well and have made a lot of efforts under your leadership. We will never forget their contributions. This is not inconsistent with your hard work. Don't be too modest."

The leaders were well aware of these things. The manufacturing of mercury cadmium telluride crystals was taught by Gao Zhendong himself, the 1274 semiconductor process was improved by Gao Zhendong, and the diagram of the optical system was drawn by Gao Zhendong.

Gao Zhendong touched the back of his head: "Hehe, now that you mention it, I also feel like I'm pretty awesome."

"Why don't you take a break for a while? Take a month or so off." Thinking about the various reports he had received about Gao Zhendong, the workload would scare anyone who saw it.

Gao Zhendong thought about it and shook his head: "I can't rest."
