Chapter 588: Impromptu Armor
No one has been found at Beijing University of Technology yet, but Gao Zhendong has prepared some information. He even asked Lou Xiao'e to draw a sketch of what the equipment would look like after being equipped with a full set of gear. In this regard, his wife is much better than him.

Hearing what his leader said, Gao Zhendong took out this picture: "Beijing University of Technology is looking for comrades to implement it. I have sent the requirements to them. This is the sketch of the fixture after it has been formed so far."

The leader was very interested. He wanted to know what protective equipment looked like in the eyes of Gao Zhendong, a battle-hardened soldier and front-line commander who directly participated in the war.

He took the picture from Gao Zhendong's hand and looked at it carefully.

The picture only shows the upper body, and Gao Zhendong also only drew the upper body. He didn't even change the military uniform, and he didn't even dare to touch the shoes.

He is not greedy, nor does he dare to be greedy.

Shoes may look insignificant, but they are actually the most difficult piece of equipment. There is no other reason but to be down-to-earth, which makes this equipment the most stress-resistant, able to withstand the harshest and most changeable environments, and at the same time extremely important.

Moreover, this requires the participation of comrades in textiles, polymers, structures, etc., and the details that need to be considered are simply not something that can be done by sitting in an office looking at a foot model. It may seem simple, but it is actually very troublesome.

What Gao Zhendong saw in his previous life, whether it was military uniforms, equipment, or helmets, there was always a certain generation that received overall praise.

But it’s different with shoes. Every generation is always subject to various complaints. The main reason is that this thing is too important and at the same time difficult to make.

Army: Now you know the value of “We have new shoes”, right?
Therefore, Gao Zhendong did not move the shoes rashly. Fortunately, although this thing is important, it has nothing to do with the carrying equipment as a whole. It has a bit of a detached meaning. Without moving the shoes, the design of the carrying equipment can be completed.

The military uniforms were similar, so Gao Zhendong didn't touch either of them.

Looking at the soldier in the picture, he is wearing a steel helmet and a half-vest with bulletproof plates, ammunition, food, water, gas masks, accessories, etc. hung on it. He looks very capable.

"Oh, you look really energetic. If this is the case, it is indeed more convenient and better looking than the original mess of tying up."

It's a useful thing that can really make people feel the difference just by a sketch.

Since it was a sketch, details like nylon adhesive tape could not be seen. The leader did not question how these things were hung on the vest. Instead, he was interested in a small square box on the left shoulder of the vest in the picture.

"What is this?"

This thing didn't look like any existing equipment, but there was one feature he could recognize: the antenna! It looked like a radio station.

The reason I ask this question is that our military radio stations are not that small now. Although the one in the picture is not particularly small, it is smaller than the super-regenerative walkie-talkie we copied from the Citigroup SCR300.

Gao Zhendong was a little puzzled when he saw it. You don't recognize this thing? Not really.

"The radio station!"

"Radio station? Where do we have such a small radio station?" The leader was also puzzled. You are an old front-line commander, don’t you have any idea how big the radio station is?
It's bad. Gao Zhendong quickly realized a problem. He was trying to find a solution in the same old problem again.

"Oh, it's my fault for not explaining it clearly. This is the radio I envisioned for the squad, so it's a little smaller than the super-regenerative walkie-talkie."

Gao Zhendong reacted quickly and made up something to fool people.

At this time, super-regenerative walkie-talkies are normally used for communications between battalions and companies, and are equipped at the company level. Below that, there are normally no radios.

After hearing Gao Zhendong's words, the leader became excited: "Are you planning to push the communication system down to the squad level?"

Gao Zhendong made up a story: "I have this idea, but I don't know if it can be implemented. The main reason is that it costs too much. But it's not a bad thing to think about it first."

This is also the reason why super-regenerative walkie-talkies have not been promoted to squads. It is too expensive. Otherwise, although the super-regenerative walkie-talkies are not small enough, they are portable enough.

The leader looked at him happily and said, "Well, that's not bad. It's a good thing to think more about it. I'm just afraid that you don't want to think about it."

Looking at this sketch, although the details were blurred, the leader still felt that he liked it more and more, and it seemed more and more reliable. He couldn't help but feel poetic and wrote a few words on the sketch.

"Impromptu Armor
The plate helmet weighs nine pounds.
Protect the warriors' heads and hearts.

If by any chance I fail to protect it,
Wait for me to display my flags at the Spring Terrace."

It's an impromptu poem, the meaning is very realistic, and the first three sentences can be understood at a glance.

The bulletproof plate weighs 3 kilograms, and the helmet weighs 1.5 kilograms according to Gao Zhendong, which adds up to exactly kilograms.

Then we hope to protect the lives of the soldiers. The third sentence is very realistic. There will always be a time when we cannot protect them. What should we do then?
Then please wait a moment, let me, an old man, come and accompany you, and raise the flag to deal with him.

Jing also refers to a kind of flag. It is parallel to flag and is not an attributive of flag. For the sake of rhyme, there is no problem in saying Jingqi in reverse order.

Gao Zhendong understood the truth, but when he saw the leader's poem, he couldn't help but twitch his lips. You should put away your magical powers.

What are you still standing there for? Start praising!

Gao Zhendong gave a thumbs up: "The leader's poem is simple and approachable. It not only expresses the good wish to protect the lives of frontline commanders and fighters, but also reflects the fearless spirit of facing bloodshed and sacrifice. In the end, it has a lofty purpose and vividly demonstrates the revolutionary spirit of not fearing power and fighting to the end. Great! It's really great!"

The leader turned around and looked at the boy, fuck, you should also take back your magical powers right now.

The two chatted and laughed happily for a while, and then the meeting began.

Things need to be said one by one. The Russians are comrades to us, so their affairs are more important and need to be said first.

Comrades from the Ministry of Foreign Trade introduced the Russians' intention to import integrated circuit production line technology.

As the bottom line of bargaining, the Russians did not reveal all the room for decline in production lines if the technology is not good enough, or in products if the production lines are not good enough, but only said that they wanted to buy integrated circuit technology.

But it doesn’t matter whether they say it or not. What matters is how we think about it.

After the comrade in charge of the report finished his introduction, the leader of the Ministry of Foreign Trade made a supplementary summary: "This is the situation. The other party proposed this intention to us in the name of civilian technology import, so this matter did not fall to the comrades in charge of military equipment exchange. However, considering the importance and sensitivity of this technology, it is still necessary for the Defense Work Committee to take the lead in the demonstration."

There are many different opinions on this issue.

"Civilian technology should be saleable."

"Yes, this is neither explosives nor missiles, nor airplanes or cannons. It is rare that they are willing to buy our technological products."

"That's not the case. They buy a lot of our technology products, not just a little bit."

"..."

In general, they are divided into three factions.

One group is not to sell. This group is the most common and it is risky, so it is better to reduce the risk to a minimum and cut it off to get rid of it permanently.

The second group is selling, and the reasons are different. One group is to consider the relationship with the camp; another group is to take advantage of the other party's need to sell quickly and not miss the opportunity; another group is to relieve domestic pressure.

The third group is more interesting. They neither say whether to sell nor not to sell. They only talk about the advanced nature of the technology as an aid to the discussion, but do not draw any conclusions.

This group is mainly composed of people from the Computing Institute, and they all have similar ideas. They won’t say much about this matter, and will see what Chief Engineer Gao thinks.

The Ministry of Foreign Trade also knows that it is difficult for others to make a conclusion on this matter, or that the conclusion made is not solid enough from a scientific point of view, because the person who knows the most about this aspect is undoubtedly Gao Zhendong himself.

"Comrade Zhendong, what is your opinion?" the leader of the Ministry of Foreign Trade asked directly.

Gao Zhendong had already thought about it.

"My opinion is that the technology and production line are not for sale, but the products can be sold."

After saying that, Gao Zhendong explained one by one.

"The other party's electronic technology is generally moving in the direction of electron tube technology. It's not that they don't have transistor and integrated circuit technology, but I'm not sure how much development they can achieve, or how fast they can develop. So we don't have to worry about missing out on this opportunity."

It is not surprising that the Russians have some plans or developments in this regard, but the overall environment determines its upper limit and future, and it is probably like that. This is something that some knowledgeable people within their ranks cannot change even if they try their best.

"As for the relationship, to be honest, I think it has nothing to do with whether a certain product sells or not. How can this determine the direction of things at the strategic level? Of course, I don't know much about this aspect, I just said that."

The camps are there. International relations, trade and technology exchanges are totally unrelated. Integrated circuits are important, but to say that they are important to this extent is a joke.

"But we still need to support what needs to be communicated and supported, there is no doubt about that, so the things we produce with the integrated circuit production line are not too special and can be sold. I think there is no problem with that."

As comrades, we should share what we should share, which will also help us get more from each other. But Gao Zhendong knew the final direction of the matter, so he had to be prepared.

The leader of the Defense Work Committee looked at Gao Zhendong. He knew that Gao Zhendong always had an inexplicable sense of crisis in his heart. This sense of crisis was widespread in all aspects. It was this sense of crisis that made him work very hard.

I don’t know where his sense of crisis comes from, but the direction of many things coincides with the sense of crisis shown by Gao Zhendong. Perhaps this is the intuition of a top technician and combat hero.
