Chapter 512 Data Run

The comrades who were working on the command vehicle knew about the DJS-60D, but they never expected that Gao Zhendong would be crazy enough to install this thing on the vehicle.

"Chief Engineer Gao, isn't this a bit expensive?"

Gao Zhendong couldn't say that it would soon be less expensive, so he smiled and said, "Engineer Qiao, we should always look at things from a development perspective. It's always a good idea for you to write this down first. If you can't get a DJS-60D for research, I can get you one."

When some things are difficult to explain, Gao Zhendong now may not explain. You may not understand, but you cannot help but listen.

The armored comrades were knowledgeable. They knew that Chief Engineer Gao probably had some information that was difficult to share. They smiled and said, "Yeah, yeah, that's right, Chief Engineer Gao, that's a good suggestion. We also want to use computers for command. Let's reserve some space first so that we won't be caught off guard."

He had thought a lot and far ahead, but what he never expected was that Gao Zhendong not only knew the relevant information about DJS-60D, but that the person who knew this information was Gao Zhendong himself.

For researchers, Gao Zhendong's words are like the sound of nature.

If you had told me earlier that you would get me a DJS-60D, I would definitely not have asked anything.

However, Engineer Qiao was still secretly shocked that Gao Zhendong could casually promise to make a latest digital computer. If this thing is given to you, you can use it. If it is not given to you, I am afraid that most people would not dare to make such a promise and say "I will give you one".

This means that he has absolute initiative in this matter, instead of having to use his connections to get one for you.

"Secondly, we must fully consider the redundancy of two things: one is power, and the other is heat dissipation. This heat dissipation is for people, not just for equipment."

“Humans also need to dissipate heat?”

"Of course, it's so new. Haven't you heard of 'fainting from the heat'?" Gao Zhendong said with a smile.

"Our officers and soldiers can hold on." said the armored comrade. He had to say this.

"There is no conflict between their ability to persist and our providing them with better conditions." There is nothing wrong with what he said, but Gao Zhendong still insisted on his request.

The comrade from the armored corps had nothing more to say. There was nothing wrong with what he said. There was also nothing wrong with what Gao Zhendong said. Moreover, as a member of the armored corps, he knew very well what it felt like to be in the same room with a high-power diesel engine.

Who would want to stay in a furnace when it's cooler? And this was said by consulting experts, not by us armored soldiers who can't endure the hardship.

"Okay, we will try our best to consider these issues." Engineer Qiao wrote them down carefully in his notebook.

Then, he raised his head again: "But Mr. Gao, the electricity in our car is really a bit stretched. The compressor air conditioning device is definitely not working. After thinking about it, we can only consider the ventilation fan."

The generator is not big to begin with, and it has to supply all the command equipment. Although the radio is equipped with batteries, the battery power is not generated out of thin air, and it still needs to be generated by the generator.

In this case, it would be difficult to add an air conditioner or something like that. The power consumption of the air conditioner would skyrocket. A radio station consumes a few watts, dozens of watts, or even hundreds of watts, while an air conditioner consumes almost a kilowatt.

Gao Zhendong thought for a moment and said, "Well, you can let some of the cold air in from the engine air intake and make air-cooling vests for the comrades to wear."

As for compressor air conditioners, regardless of whether we have them at the moment, the power consumption alone is enough to kill them from the plan.

Gao Zhendong felt that this was not clear enough, and added: "After you go back, contact the comrades at the Grassland Tractor Factory and either discuss it with them or let them take charge. Compared to yours, tanks need this thing more, so they will definitely make it."

If the command vehicle is often parked for command and the engine of the vehicle can be turned off, then when tanks are fighting, they are accompanied by heat the whole time. The more they fight, the faster the engine runs.

If proper air conditioning may not be possible due to current technology and tank environment limitations, at least this air-cooling vest can be tried.

"Mr. Gao, will the tractor factory agree to this?" Although they really wanted to hand this matter over to the Grassland Tractor Factory, it was separated from the other unit.

Gao Zhendong said: "No problem, I will say hello to them later."

Engineer Qiao was extremely impressed by the fact that Gao Zhendong's hands even reached out to the Grassland Tractor Factory hundreds of kilometers away, thinking that a real man should be like this.

If he could achieve this level of technical skills, he would be satisfied. But Mr. Gao in front of him looked much younger than him. He really didn't know how he did it.

At this time, the electronics laboratory had already delivered what Gao Zhendong wanted.

Gao Zhendong took the thing and put it on the table. "Just design the data transmission equipment to be three times the size of this thing. This can match most of your radio stations to form a wireless data transmission system. On a command vehicle, based on the principle of one for use and one for backup, you need at least two of these things."

This is actually a modem. After some simple modifications to the modem and radio, the radio can be used directly as a data transmission channel.

In fact, the earliest digital radio was the result of modifying an analog radio and adding a modem. The basis of the integrated command system is the nodes at the front end. Due to current technical and cost limitations, it is not possible to make it too advanced, but at least it is no problem to connect the data communication network first, which can also solve many problems.

The reason for tripling the volume is that, firstly, the space investment for military reinforcement must be considered, and secondly, in the absence of cheap microcontrollers as data adding devices, a relatively large hardware encryption machine composed of digital circuits and with configurable keys must be considered.

Gao Zhendong's idea is to extend it forward at least to the company level, preferably to the platoon level. However, the equipment in the company level needs to be further reduced in size, which will depend on the advancement of integrated circuit technology.

In this way, our scouts, front-line commanders and fighters, and other comrades at the front-end nodes, can find a safe place after scouting the enemy situation, quietly write down the intelligence, and transmit it via the radio within a few seconds.

There is no need to yell in the middle of a battlefield full of gunfire. Firstly, it is unsafe, and secondly, it is very likely that no one can hear you clearly, and there is no way to handle it automatically.

Looking at this small iron box, several comrades were dumbfounded.

This thing looks familiar.

Engineer Qiao picked up the modem and examined it carefully. "Chief Engineer Gao, we have seen this at the Institute of Communications. They said it is used for wired communications."

Gao Zhendong smiled: "Yes, but it can also be used for wireless communication. In fact, the principle is the same. I made this thing for them. Don't worry, it's no problem."

Oh? You did it? That's fine.

The original author has given his guarantee, which is more effective than any other guarantee.

No wonder the Defense Work Committee called in to find this General Gao and said that everything used by the Communications Institute was made by him.

"Chief Engineer Gao, can we take this away? It will be more convenient for us to do the design."

Gao Zhendong smiled and said, "This thing is different from the DJS-60D. You have no practical use for it. How to combine it with the radio is what we need to accomplish. So, to facilitate your design, I will give you three sets of shells. You stack the three sets of shells together, and that will be the size of this device."

It’s good to get the shell. At least I have a basic idea of ​​how to arrange it.

Gao Zhendong put the modem down and reminded him, "This thing must be not only in the command vehicle, but also in the reconnaissance vehicle."

"Okay, we will definitely consider this. You've put so much effort into this, you must want to connect reconnaissance and command." Engineer Qiao is not a fool. He can't guess Gao Zhendong's ultimate goal, but he definitely knows the means to achieve this by connecting the front and back ends.

Seeing that he had fully understood what he meant, Gao Zhendong added, "The last point is that the command vehicle must have a radio that can be moved freely and taken off the vehicle by a single soldier."

When the armored comrades heard this, they clapped their hands and cheered: "Yes, yes, yes, this must be there."

It is inevitable to get off the vehicle to give orders, and this is also a backup measure.

This Chief Engineer Gao said during our chat just now that he was only a platoon leader and was not very familiar with command. Now it seems that he was too modest. At least he is very familiar with the command requirements in actual combat.

During this trip, Engineer Qiao not only figured out the key points of redundant design of data communication, but also received some other suggestions. He was very happy and said goodbye to Gao Zhendong with the relief of having completely solved the problem.

As soon as he sent them away, Gao Zhendong picked up the phone and called the Defense Work Committee. He wanted instructions for several types of equipment.

Defense Work Committee, Leadership Office.

"You said Gao Zhendong wants the basic information of all our army's military radio stations?"

"Yes, he said he wanted to select two suitable radios, one large and one small, and add other equipment to see if he could connect the front and back of the battlefield through data. I have already given him the basic information."

Although Gao Zhendong had long been qualified to access this information, the staff still reported the matter to the leader, as was customary.

"Well, I understand. In this regard, you should give him whatever information he wants."

Gao Zhendong received the materials and was reading them when Director Yan came in with a list.

"Boss Gao, this is the list of various commendations for this year. Take a look at it first. But I guess there will be changes in the end."

"Will there be changes?"

"Well, I don't know what's going on in the ministry this year. The Liehuo Technology Award has not been announced yet. If it doesn't come out, then the factory's commendation won't come out either. If the headquarters's can't come out, then ours won't come out either."
