Chapter 561 We Were All Warriors Once
The intense thoughts consumed his already limited nutrients. The human brain is the top-level component, and the top-level components naturally have high energy consumption.

The energy consumption of the human brain under normal circumstances can account for 20% of the total human energy consumption. When the brain is actively active, it can be as high as 40%.

Falling all the way from an altitude of 20,000 meters, the intense worry and fear, the operation of the parachute, the pessimism about the future and a series of other mental activities, this short descent process exhausted all his strength.

I opened the life-saving kit with great difficulty, took out the high-sugar chocolate inside and ate a few bites, and only then did I feel a little better.

Biologically a dog cannot eat chocolate, but he can.

Sugar is also a good thing. If the time travelers cannot bring knowledge with them, then they can bring more sugar. It is better than glass and soap. If they can bring some high-quality beets and sugarcane from later generations that can be bred, and add sugar-making technology, then you will be the most handsome among the time travelers!
After calming down, he began to feel lucky again. No matter what, he survived, so as long as he didn't do anything stupid, his life would not be too bad.

After all, their attitude towards prisoners is famously good. They can even allow prisoners of war to participate in the Olympic Games!
The first thing he did was to throw the gun far away and in a very conspicuous place.

This is a farmland, there are no wild animals, so the pistol is useless. What's the matter? Can I still shoot with this small pistol? This kind of thing that the old man with millions of troops couldn't do back then is too difficult for a small major like me.

This thing is a disaster in the hand. Even if the enemy militia takes action, they would rather be beaten honestly than put this thing in their hands. What if they can't control themselves during the beating? That would be real death.

Throw it far away and it will be fine. As long as I don't want to resist, I will be flawless and invincible!
Now he even looked forward to being caught by the other side, which would mean that he would have heating equipment and good food immediately.

At worst, you'll get the worst beating and eat the best food.

That little bit of chocolate didn't help at all. I was still hungry.

As for our pilot, he was already on a stretcher and was being carried towards the village by the villagers. People from several villages almost got into a fight over where to carry him!
He said "Fellow villagers, I can walk by myself" many times, but it was of no use. The villagers enthusiastically pushed him onto the stretcher.

The female medical worker even brought out her ultimate weapon: "I am a doctor, you are a wounded soldier, you have to listen to me, this is an order, right? Comrade."

I don't have any injuries, the pilot gave up struggling. Hey, it's quite comfortable to lie on this stretcher. Thinking about it, he gradually fell asleep. The noisy voices around him made him feel relieved.

While everyone was happily welcoming the hero back to their village, on the other side, Major Fang was waiting for a long time for the person who arrested him.

What's wrong with this world? Is it possible that no one wants me, a walking medal of honor?
No one has come to arrest him yet, which makes Major Fang very uncomfortable. He has to be worried until the boots hit the ground.

Besides, he was hungry...

But what made him uncomfortable was that no one came after he fell to the ground for an hour. This made him feel resentful that he had been forgotten by the world.

Really, you only care about killing and not burying, right? You take me down and don't capture me? Do you want me to surrender by myself?

It's too bullying. I won't go. I really can't walk anymore.

He wrapped the parachute around himself again and continued to wait. I just didn't believe that they would really not come to catch me.

After waiting for dozens of minutes in the cold morning wind, he finally heard a sound behind him.

"Is that the one?"

"Yes, it should be him. Go, go, go, catch him, catch him."

You are finally here! Major Fang almost cried out loud. Waiting is always painful.

He wanted to stand up and greet them, but firstly he was very hungry and secondly he was afraid that the other party would misunderstand him, so he sat on the ground and squeezed out a sentence: "Comrade, you are finally here!"

"Who is your comrade?!" The local personnel who came over were furious.

Upon hearing this, Major Fang knew that the people here were ashamed to be associated with his side, so he quickly changed his words: "Hello, sir."

The visitor was even more angry: "What's the use of the term 'superior' or 'not superior'? That's just your old-fashioned way of saying it!"

Major Fang was at a loss now: "Then...what do you think I should call you?"

Uh……

The local comrades can’t handle it anymore, what do we call it?

Then he stopped yelling: "Follow us and be quiet!"

"Okay, okay, my pistol is over there, please take it."

Our comrade was also amused by this overly self-conscious enemy and walked over to pick up his pistol: "Got it, you are quite self-conscious, let's go!"

"I'd better call your commander. Commander, is there anything to eat?"

Looking at his appearance, our comrades were at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He was really experienced.

"Looking at you, have you ever been caught before?" That shouldn't be the case. Once a pilot is caught, he can't go back.

Major Fang was very frank: "More than ten years ago, before I ran away, I was arrested when I was still in the army." "Then how did you get there again?"

"I was given travel expenses and released, but was drafted again on the way, and later transferred to the Air Force."

Hey, this guy has quite a lot of experience, and his luck is hard to say. To be able to transform from a conscripted soldier to a U-2 pilot is a legend.

"Come on, now that you have experience, you also know our policies."

"I know, I will cooperate."

You’re an old hand, that’s easy, just go ahead, go ahead.
-
Gao Zhendong, who was in the meeting, received the news very quickly that our people had been found and everything was fine, less than ten minutes into the meeting.

Along with this news came a brief description of the combat process by the pilot comrade.

After reading the briefing materials, before anyone else spoke, the comrade from the Air Force spoke first. He was not talking about today's events, but about yesterday's events.

"We must get this heavy bomb!"

It's too dangerous, too extreme. If we have the heavy bomb that Chief Engineer Gao mentioned, regardless of whether we can shoot it down or not, at least we can scare enemies like the U-2 outside and prevent them from coming in.

You're here, right? Let me greet you first.

Didn’t get it? Try again!
Judging from the nature of the opponent, I don’t believe it dares to come in!
But we can't let our heroes push this limit again and take such a risk.

Gao Zhendong did not expect this. He originally thought that the issue of heavy air-to-air bombs would require multiple meetings and repeated discussions before a decision could be made. However, when this battle example came up, there was nothing to say.

People may not be able to teach people well, but things can teach people much more efficiently.

At this time, the Air Force leader turned around and said, "Chief Engineer Gao, are you sure about the heavy bomb you mentioned? You don't have to be too sure. Just tell me if it is feasible in theory."

Gao Zhendong nodded: "It's absolutely feasible! I can issue a military order for missiles of this specification."

"Okay! I know, you are like me, we were both soldiers, we know what a military order means! If you can tell me about a military order, then I will believe it. Let's do this heavy bomb!"

"I understand!" Gao Zhendong didn't say much, just responded very seriously.

The people from the Defense Work Committee didn't even get a word in. They only added a sentence after Air Force and Gao Zhendong finished speaking.

"Comrade Zhendong, please write a report and submit your requirements for heavy bullet landing. We will select the ones that meet your requirements from the entire system."

It is obviously impossible for Gao Zhendong to be personally responsible for the implementation of the heavy bullet. He is only responsible for making requirements and solving major problems. However, the implementation still requires the cooperation of the unit. The Third Rolling Mill and the Third Branch of the Seventeenth Ministry of Machine Building under his command are obviously not suitable for this task.

Gao Zhendong changed his mind and realized that it was impossible for him to check everything by himself, and there were some things he couldn't check himself. If the whole system was put up for bidding, shouldn't he bring up this matter?
Just do it!

Gao Zhendong said: "Dear leaders, I have a suggestion."

"you say!"

"you say!"

The Air Force and the Defense Work Committee spoke at the same time.

Gao Zhendong sorted out his thoughts and said, "Should we take this as an opportunity to form a mechanism where the equipment demand unit is only responsible for proposing index requirements, and let each unit in the system come up with its own plan based on the index requirements. Put all the plans together, select the most suitable plan and unit, and continue to deepen it?"

When everyone heard what he said, their first reaction was, isn't this just like taking off your pants to fart?

But after getting over my immediate reaction and thinking about it more carefully, Chief Engineer Gao’s idea seems to be a good one.

Each unit has its own strengths. If we follow the previous method of direct appointment, who knows whether the most suitable plan and unit will be missed? After all, direct appointment can only look at past achievements, but cannot evaluate and select according to the actual situation.

Things are developing and progressing, and so are our scientific research institutions.

His past glory does not mean that he is the most suitable for the current task.

Even more extreme, this method can combine the strengths of each company, select the best but not perfect one, and then ask him to combine the advantages of other solutions as much as possible. Then, will the final result be the best solution under the environmental and technical constraints?
The Air Force was delighted, but the Defense Committee was even more interested, as this matter was within their scope of work.

"Well... this is a good idea, Mr. X, please remember that we can come up with a whole set of solutions based on Comrade Zhendong's suggestion. Let's start with Comrade Zhendong's suggestion of re-launching the project and get this thing started."

The chief engineer of the Defense Work Committee nodded in agreement, saying that this was the proper job within his scope of business and that it could really solve his problem.

After finalizing the matter, the leader of the Defense Work Committee turned to look at Gao Zhendong.

"Zhendong, you didn't finish what you said yesterday. There are three levels and three types, and you didn't mention the last level. Please continue and finish it now."
