Chapter 681: How far should we fight?
Don’t listen to Professor Gao when he says “it’s very simple”. As we all know, Professor Gao’s definition of “simple” is somewhat different from that of other comrades.

"It's really simple, don't worry." Gao Zhendong smiled even more happily on the other end of the phone.

After hanging up the call with Chief Engineer Chi, Gao Zhendong did nothing but get out the teaching materials for the Software Engineering Project Manager. The contents were complete, and he just needed to delete some parts that should be deleted. There was no rush. If Chief Engineer Chi and the others did it too quickly, they would probably get scared to death.

After finishing this, Gao Zhendong thought about it and searched for another book in the system. He found that the price was cheaper. He was so arrogant.

Let's just save the person to the end and send him to the west.

This book is actually, to some extent, in the same set as the Project Manager Tutorial, which is also an advanced textbook for software exams, the System Analyst Tutorial. The Project Manager Tutorial focuses on comprehensive project management, while the System Analyst Tutorial focuses on technical management and software implementation.

You want to learn something, right? Hey, there are so many things. I'm just afraid that you won't be able to learn them all and will turn around and blame me.

As for the others, Gao Zhendong is not planning to do them for the time being. They are too advanced. Either they have not appeared yet, or they are still very immature and cannot support themselves as a category or professional position.

For example, he has teaching materials for architects, but it is too early to talk about architecture at this time and there is no need to do so.

One or half a step ahead is a god, three or four steps ahead is an idiot.
-

Defense Work Committee, a group of people are having a meeting.

If Gao Zhendong was at the venue, he would find many people he knew but had never seen before because he had only seen them in photos.

But Gao Zhendong was not present.

What is being discussed now is the issue of ballistic missiles.

The 1700-kilometer missile can be said to be basically successful. Just after the first test launch, two more test launches have been completed so far, with very good results.

The indicators of 1700 kilometers of range, 1000 meters of CEP (circular error probability), and 1.3 tons of projection weight are basically set in stone.

Although the requirements for finalization have not yet been met and the number of tests is insufficient, there are no major problems in terms of the general trend.

What everyone is discussing now is not the finalization of War Drum No. 2. That matter can proceed step by step. The core of the discussion now is what to do next.

Although it is not as orderly as in the future with one generation of equipment, one generation of research, and one generation of pre-research, we still have the concept of doing things in advance and trying to make them inherited and forward-looking.

Regardless of whether to do it or not, at least let’s study what it will look like.

"What range should we get next? This is the most core issue. If the range is not determined, then nothing else can be determined."

"2800 kilometers?"

This was the original published range of War Drum III.

Some comrades raised objections: "What can 2800 do? It's too far for the near ones and can't reach the far ones."

In fact, if Gao Zhendong was present, he would also feel strange about the shooting range. This range is neither up nor down, and it is very uncomfortable.

Gao Zhendong's previous life had guessed that it was originally more than 2800, but when he took a closer look at it, he realized that his technology was limited and it was just this mediocre number.

This was very possible in the past, under the original technological environment of the 60s and 70s.

Of course, there is another possibility. It is more than 2800. The 2800 is just a smoke screen to reassure others and not overly stimulate them.

"I think if we want to do it, we should double it to 3500 kilometers." A comrade put forward this very clearly.

"3500, that's not much more than 2800."

"Are you targeting the American island in the Pacific Ocean?" Some comrades were very sensitive to maps and figured it out in their heads.

The island is about 3000 kilometers away from the place we actually control.

"Yes, I have been displeased with that place for a long time. Moreover, it is the support point of the second island chain and an important base for them here." Very direct. There was nothing to hide in this meeting.

"I think you don't just dislike that island. This range can cover the entire Snowy Plateau to the south."

"If we want to cover that area, the range is neither too high nor too low. Starting from the southwest, 3000 kilometers can basically cover them, and 2800 kilometers is almost enough. Their major cities are basically within this range."

"You have to leave some room, otherwise your freedom in arranging the launch positions will be too limited. Besides... hehe."

If we want to determine the range based on the distance, then the launching positions can only be arranged on those protrusions.

But the following "Haha" attracted the attention of other comrades. Several comrades exchanged glances, and some of them felt as if they had suddenly realized something.

"Do you want to..." It's really hard to continue with this.

"It has nothing to do with that. Let's not discuss that. Well, whether it's heading to the Pacific Ocean or to the southern part of the snowy plateau, if that's really the consideration, it would be better to leave some range redundancy." The leader of the Defense Work Committee hurriedly stopped him and changed the subject.

"Boss, if that's the case, we might as well get 4500! We can also cover the naval base of the American guy in the sea south of Zao San."

That naval base is the best naval base in that sea. Its location, environment, hydrology, and marine geological conditions are all unique, and it is the most important support for the Americans in that area.

It originally belonged to John Bull, but in S2, the Citigroup's Lend-Lease Act took advantage of the situation. Now the sovereignty still belongs to John Bull, but everything else has little to do with John Bull.

So, the fact that S2 can praise the Citigroup is that they did objectively strike a blow to the Axis powers, but if you want to say that their starting point is noble, forget it. The Citigroup itself doesn't believe it.

This suggestion was so outrageous that one comrade laughed and said, "You are just adding more water to the flour, and adding more flour to the water. If you do this, I would still like to fly to the moon."

If Gao Zhendong were here, he would definitely give you a compliment. It turns out that the string of explosions in the movie "Underworld" was learned from you, right?

However, this kind of behavior of "go to X with a budget of 3,000 and take home an Eight-Road Titan" or "go in with Alto's money and get out with an Audi's car" is indeed not very reliable.

"Then how much do you say? This is a practical demand!"

"There is a practical need to go to the moon, for scientific research."

“我觉得3500就行，4500，不考虑技术的嘛？1700都偏1000米了，4500不得偏出3000米去。”

"Anyway, it's Miss Qiu's turn, so 3000 meters is not useless."

"3500! I can reach... I can reach... that thing."

"3000! It's enough to cover the fulcrum of the second island chain!"

"2800! I say, just cover the dirty three end."

"We still need 4500 to control the two oceans and cover the oil-producing areas!"

"..."

For a moment, the venue was very lively.

One comrade said: "Can we have a series with many types to cover all ranges? Wouldn't that eliminate the need for disputes?"

"That's a good idea. Look, 2800~4500 is considered medium-range. But you're arguing about this medium-range. Is it a series? They'll probably end up fighting."

The leader of the Defense Work Committee touched his forehead, feeling very helpless. Why didn’t meetings like this happen before?
Hmm? Thinking of this, he remembered someone. But according to the rules, he was not suitable to attend today's meeting.

He raised his head and glanced at the chief engineer of the Defense Work Committee.

The chief engineer probably had the same idea as him. If it's hard for the leader to say something, he would be more suitable since he is a technical person and his job is more pure.

The chief engineer of the Defense Work Committee knocked on the table and said, "Comrades, I think we are short of one person today."

Some comrades did not know what he meant: "One person is missing? No, everyone who should have come has come."

"Yes, no one asked for leave."

But some people did understand it a little bit, at least a few people who were working on War Drum No. 2 understood it. Could it be that the chief engineer was talking about Gao Zhendong?

Don't mention it, don't mention it! This comrade is absolutely qualified to participate, at least in terms of technology.

This is a difficult problem. Technically, there is no problem, but it is inappropriate from a disciplinary perspective.

The others didn’t know who it was. In this matter, they and Gao Zhendong were at a level of confidentiality where neither of them knew of the other’s existence.

It has to be an old partner. With him taking the lead, the leaders of the Defense Work Committee will be easier to talk to.

"Who are you talking about?"

"Well, I think with his skills and thinking, he should be able to provide good reference opinions."

The group of people still didn't know who they were, they just saw two people performing a duet.

The leader of the Defense Work Committee frowned: "He cannot attend this meeting, and he cannot be allowed to attend this meeting."

No, because his current identity is not right. He cannot participate because the Defense Work Committee does not dare to take the risk of asking him to change his identity. If he does that, it will be inconvenient for him to do many things, and no one knows what impact it will have on his work.

Even the slightest impact could result in a huge loss.

“In theory, given his excellent qualifications, he is qualified to attend this kind of meeting, but it will have a relatively large impact on his work,” the chief engineer said with a smile.

Excellent? “Three excellent”?
After hearing this, the leader of the Defense Work Committee knew that this was true, and there was nothing wrong with allowing him to make some suggestions to a certain extent.

The others were confused, and only the guys working on War Drum No. 2 thought it made sense.

That person's skills are really solid! I think he can give some good suggestions. After all, no matter how far you decide to go, you still have to decide whether you can do it or not.

And this comrade is very thoughtful in this regard. At least War Drum No. 1700 can hit , which is really the most important board.

Mr. Jin, Mr. Cai, and Senior Brother Zhang, you wouldn't be so arrogant as to think that you have already emptied other people's wealth. What if the current 1700 is just because 1700 is the only amount needed, and not because 1700 is the only amount in their heads?

A top student can only get 100 points in the exam, and a genius student’s total score is only 100.

However, they cannot talk about this matter and can only think about it. In fact, they are quite looking forward to it.
