Chapter 600 The little flying stick is here!
Comrade Zhendong must have sacrificed all his spare time on this, which made this most critical step so easy. The leader could only guess this.

Gao Zhendong could only respond perfunctorily. He had to work anyway, and no one could force him to sleep on the bed.

Looking at his humming and hawing appearance, the leader knew that his words were of no use, which reminded him of a widely circulated joke.

——Comrade Gao Zhendong is good in every way, but has one big shortcoming: he pays too little attention to rest.

This sentence is very true when applied to Gao Zhendong and is not a joke at all.

In fact, they are the same. Everyone is the same, so no one should blame anyone else.

After seeing Gao Zhendong off, the leader and the chief engineer looked at each other. The leader smiled and said, "Looks like I have to call Lao Yang. I'll just have to pay more attention to him."

"The call must be made, but can Lao Yang control him? He will definitely abide by the rules when it comes to business, but for things like this, neither Lao Yang nor his master Lao Chen can do anything about him." The chief engineer of the department sneered.

"Then what do you think we should do?"

"If it's difficult, then don't do it. I see Comrade Gao Zhendong is in good health and he is enjoying it. Old Yang just needs to provide logistics and support. I think Comrade Gao Zhendong will not interfere and will give his full support. Didn't you say that yourself? Why can't you carry it out when it comes to you? Haha." The chief engineer of the department laughed.

The leader shook his head and said, haha, it’s true.
-
In Gao Zhendong's office at the Third Factory, a group of comrades from the Missile Research Institute who are responsible for the landing of the Thunderbolt-3 are reporting their work to Comrade Gao Zhendong, the deputy chief designer of the Thunderbolt-3 missile.

Lei Dian-3 is a modified Lei Dian-1. After the plan and planning parameters of the modified Lei Dian-1 were reported to the Defense Work Committee, comrades from the Defense Work Committee and the Air Equipment Bureau took a look and found that this thing had basically nothing to do with Lei Dian-1.

The difference is too huge, even the structure and size of the missile body have been changed. The ship of Theseus at least has the same appearance, but this thing doesn't even look like the Thunder-1.

Forget it, let’s not call it Thunder-1. This is the new generation of infrared air-to-air missile we developed independently, so we have to give it a new name.

Therefore, the modified Raiden-1 was officially renamed Raiden-3 and development continued.

This move by the Defense Work Committee has cut off the way for the Thunderbolt-3 to "find its father" in the next few decades.

I am the father!

It’s making good progress, that’s for sure.

Like the second-generation tanks, the core technical problems of Lei Dian-3 were almost solved by Gao Zhendong long before the project was officially launched, such as the orthogonal four-element detector, gas rudder, projectile structure, etc.

All that's left is to follow this established road. There may be some bumps and dents along the way, but it's impossible to block the way. Just jump, run, and step on water and you'll get through it.

Again, finding the way is important.

After reporting on the Thunder-3, some comrades left first, and a small number of people, including Lu Gong from the Institute of Research and Development and Gao Zhendong's classmate Lin Lianwei, stayed behind.

They are going to continue reporting on the work on the terminal-sensitive munition, whose infrared sensor is under the responsibility of the Research and Development Institute.

The overall progress is good. In the end, it was decided to use mercury cadmium telluride as the core component of infrared detection. Anyway, the output is sufficient, so there is no need to bother with lead sulfide. There are too many issues to consider when using that thing.

In this matter, the comrades of the Institute of Research, who had always been exhausted by the poor performance of the detector, fought such a fierce battle for the first time.

Unlike air-to-air missiles, which have a range of several kilometers or even more than ten kilometers, the distance requirement for terminal-sensitive missiles is only a few hundred meters. The significant reduction in this core requirement gives comrades a lot of room and space. With their experience in air-to-air missiles, they can simply use a dimensionality reduction attack on this matter.

Both tasks went smoothly without any surprises, and the report felt a bit like a routine report.

Looking at Lu Gong and his companions packing up and preparing to leave, Gao Zhendong felt something in his heart.

There is a node getting closer and closer. The two worlds are slightly different in details, but Gao Zhendong doesn't believe that the enemy will change his strategy. This will definitely happen.

He had made a lot of preparations for this, but there was one small detail of a little battle that he wasn't ready for.

We have to prepare more for the enemy. The full banquet has been served, and this side dish must also be served. We have to make the enemy happy.

Moreover, this thing is not only prepared for this noob, but also for the Citigroup guys. This thing can definitely greatly increase their losses and make them bleed even more.

Because they use helicopters a lot!
——The little flying stick is coming!

What Gao Zhendong thought of was the individual portable anti-aircraft missile, a powerful weapon for infantry to attack helicopters.

Speaking of this, in the Indochina Peninsula, the Russian Arrow-2 (Sam-7) did participate in the war, but it arrived relatively late and its performance was average. Gao Zhendong was ready to do something big for the Americans from the beginning.

Moreover, this thing can not only shed the blood of the American people, but if it goes to the graveyard of empires, it can also shed the blood of the Russians. It is fair and just... uh, it may not be open to the public.

As for Zang San, there was a battle. They used helicopters to strengthen the guard force of the highest commanding heights, so we couldn't take it down. It was a small loss. Although they were also separated by us and couldn't come down to reinforce, but not achieving the goal was a loss, that's how we calculated it.

This was also one of the very few battles in the official plan where we did not achieve our goals.

Of course, this excludes the chaos caused by the enemy's rout. There would not be so many tactical goals in a chaotic battle. What tactical goals can you set when you are chasing pigs all over the mountains?

Gao Zhendong's idea was simple and innocent - Zang San, come on, set an example for the Citigroup guys and the Russians.

He called out to Engineer Lu who was packing up his things: "Engineer Lu, is the hospital busy with work now? Do you have any spare energy or strength?"

Engineer Lu was shocked. Chief Engineer Gao must have some idea. Although he also wanted to go, he already had the Thunderbolt-3 and the terminal-sensitive infrared missile. If he went ahead, regardless of whether his comrades had any objections, he would not be able to do it.

He thought about it, feeling quite regretful.

"I think so. Although many people have applied to existing projects, we are actually fighting a battle of abundance. The main reason is that there are not so many projects, and many people are added to gain experience."

He certainly knew the general situation, but whether it could be transferred and how it could be transferred were beyond his control.

Gao Zhendong nodded and said, "Well, please go back and tell the hospital leaders that I have a small tactical missile with an infrared head. See if the hospital is interested and can spare some people to make it. If possible, we'll keep it in the hospital."

Upon hearing this, Lu Gong was overjoyed, as it was exactly what he thought.

Although I cannot do it myself, as long as it can be implemented in the unit, it is a good thing. The bigger the unit, the better the development. The benefits it brings to the colleagues in the unit are tangible and visible.

As for whether this matter has been approved or not, he doesn't even consider it. Basically, everything Chief Engineer Gao said was possible. Even if it wasn't possible, he could still blast a door in the wall.

It's just like the individual anti-tank missile we heard about not long ago. Originally, there was no organized guerrilla force, but Chief Engineer Gao led his men and relied on hard indicators to defeat the original vehicle-mounted heavy missiles. It's really hard to refuse to accept it.

"Okay, I'll go back and find our hospital leader and report this matter immediately."

Originally, he could have called, but Gao Zhendong was too lazy to go to the confidential office to ask for the phone number, and calling was a bit formal, so it would be better to ask Engineer Lu and the others to give them a heads up first, and then decide if the Research Institute was interested.

The response of the Institute of Research and Development was extremely quick. Worker Lu returned in the morning and the call was made to the confidential office before he got off work that morning.

The fact that the dean of the Institute of Research and Development personally returned the call shows how much he values ​​it. The new topic is secondary, and it is mainly out of respect for Gao Zhendong himself.

"Chief Engineer Gao, I heard that you have a new idea? Thank you in advance, haha." The dean is very cheerful and speaks openly.

Regardless of whether the matter succeeds or not, you should remember the kindness of our Research Institute. I have to thank you first.

It is not wrong to say that only the Institute of Guidance and Research has such power. It seems that Gao Zhendong needs help from the Institute of Guidance and Research. However, this statement is true for others, but for Chief Engineer Gao, well, it is not very reliable.

Where is the lesson of Chunlei Factory? Although the details of this incident are not public, the general ins and outs are still known in the industry. Chief Engineer Gao really has the ability to turn the table over.

And the most amazing thing is, he didn't just overturn the table, he brought out a better meal to overturn the table.

Come on, eat this and you’ll have more energy!

As a result, everyone praised the new food and raved about it, completely ignoring the fact that the only injured chef from the previous table was feeling sad.

Well, this is good, it really saves energy!

Therefore, it is not excessive to attach great importance to the olive branch that Gao Zhendong has proactively extended.

I would like to thank you in advance!
Gao Zhendong smiled and said what he was thinking: "Dean, this is it. I want to use the technology of infrared air-to-air combat missiles and make a portable, single-soldier air defense missile to enhance the air defense capability of my infantry unit."

Afraid that the other party might not be able to hear clearly on the phone, Gao Zhendong very carefully disassembled the portable individual anti-aircraft missile and spoke, trying to make the other party understand what he meant at once.

"Hiss~~~~~~"

The sound of the director of the Institute of Guidance Studies taking a breath could be clearly heard over the phone.

This idea is so advanced. In the past, this was something that we would never have dared to think about.

The first generation of individual anti-aircraft missiles produced by the Americans was the "Red Eye" in 1958. As for its performance, it can only be said to have solved the problem of whether it has it or not, and it is actually quite average.

But even this is something we dare not even think about, technically and economically. Even the Russians did not complete the Arrow-1966 until 2. Its performance is comparable to the original K-13 air-to-air missile, and it is usable, but in Gao Zhendong's opinion, it is just so-so.
