Chapter 772: "Throwing a Brick to Inspire Jade"

The most important parts of the report are just a few data.

The range is 60 kilometers, with 45 bullets and 26 target vehicles destroyed.

The hit rate of terminal-guided munitions is a confusing matter. In short, the number of destroyed shells is divided by the total number of submunitions, and the hit rate is 57.7%.

This hit rate has exceeded the first generation of terminal-sensitive bullets used by the Russians.

Looking at the photos, the leaders of the Defense Work Committee and the comrades of the Army looked solemn, yet a little relieved.

"Fortunately, this thing was made by us." The leader of the Defense Work Committee sighed.

"With this, the pressure we face from the steel cluster will be greatly reduced." No one knew what the army comrades were thinking, but they looked as if the pressure had suddenly been relieved.

The annoying thing about this thing is that even though you know it's there, it's hard to guard against it except by trying to shoot down the vehicle.

For a tank, the area above its head is invisible and intangible, but the attack is launched from this area. As for how powerful the ammunition is, that's not it. However, this area happens to be the weakest part of all tanks.

"This was also Gao Zhendong's suggestion. Now it seems that the effect is very good, a bit too good. Not a single screw of this thing is allowed to flow out!"

A comrade from the army who has participated in tank-related work sighed, "I remember a design that Gao Zhendong insisted on on the second-generation tank: bolts for installing explosive reactive armor must be reserved on the tank's top armor. It seems that he was already thinking about this at that time."

The work on the second-generation tank started long before the terminal-guided projectile. At that time, Gao Zhendong proposed to reserve bolts on the top armor. Many comrades thought that his idea was unnecessary.

But now it turns out that he didn't, and it happened to be him who had sent lightning down from the sky.

"Now it seems that it is really necessary to prepare an installation position for explosive counterattack on the top of the tank turret. Although it still cannot protect the engine part, at least the probability of human survival is much higher." When the war reaches a certain extent, there will often be a situation where there are new equipment but no veterans to use it.

The Japanese and Hans the Cat are the ones who know this matter best.

Therefore, the issue of guarantor is taken very seriously.

This strategy of protecting people is different from the strategy of some tanks using front engines to protect people. Using the front engine to protect people means that when this trick takes effect, the tank must be on the battlefield. Under such conditions, if the engine stops, the people are likely to have problems with the engine as well because they cannot escape.

The top explosive counter-attack can increase the tank's top defense under any conditions, especially when the terminal-sensitive bomb is effective. It is a unilateral attack at a long distance. As long as you can withstand the top of the tank, even if the engine is destroyed, the probability of survival will be much greater.

"He held a spear in one hand and a shield in the other. He must have considered it very carefully, far more than other comrades, because the main threats that tanks will face in the future are all from his handwriting, including high-pressure smoothbore guns, fin-stabilized armor-piercing projectiles, high-powered rocket launchers, anti-tank missiles, and today's terminal-sensitive projectiles, etc."

The army comrade also laughed and said, "Now I understand why Comrade Gao Zhendong is satisfied with the 90mm armor-piercing power of the terminal-sensitive projectile. 90mm is really enough."

For them, it is easy to imagine that no matter how tanks develop in the future, it will be difficult to strengthen the top armor, unless there is armor that has excellent explosive counterattack effects but is not too bulky and heavy. Even composite armor is difficult to achieve the effect of explosive counterattack. Composite armor requires a certain thickness to meet the protection capabilities, which places high demands on the design of the tank, and it may even be impossible to meet this condition.

"No need to change it anymore, let's finalize it first! Production! Small issues like armor-piercing capability are the real meaning of this weapon." The leader of the Defense Work Committee said firmly.

Looking at the two photos, the comrades in the army also agreed that the ability to launch attacks on tank clusters far behind or in deep territory is really tempting.

With this, some things that happened in the previous life may not happen again, and some equipment that seems to have a single purpose or even a little outrageous may not appear again.

For example, the powerful 120mm self-propelled anti-tank gun, which looks powerful, is actually something that would never appear under normal circumstances. By the early 90s, the 120mm self-propelled anti-tank gun was simply a revival of an antique.

There was no other way. The pressure was just too great. In order to delay the attack of the imaginary enemy, artificial highlands were even built along the way from the grassland to the capital. This place was too flat, and there was no defensive terrain to serve as a support node. We had to find a way ourselves.

They thought of all kinds of seemingly outrageous methods, but they never considered surrendering.
-
Gao Zhendong didn't know about this good news yet. He was currently talking to the chief engineer of the 12th Ministry of Machinery, who was looking for him to consult him about a problem and see if Gao Zhendong had any ideas.

"Zhendong, the situation is the same as what we were talking about just now. Although the importance and uses of single-chip microcomputers have begun to gradually emerge, the department feels that the speed is still a bit slow. They want to speed up the progress. As the inventor of the single-chip microcomputer, do you have some specific and feasible methods?" Gao Zhendong pondered for a moment on the other end of the phone. This reminded him of the stories of single-chip microcomputer companies in his previous life who directly invested, produced chips, and produced minimum development boards in order to promote their own products, and promoted their own products in universities.

"Well, I do have some ideas about this. They may not be very mature, but I'll just throw out some ideas to stimulate discussion." Gao Zhendong said modestly.

"Great, tell me about it." For the chief engineer of the 12th Ministry of Machine Building, Gao Zhendong's method was definitely inspiring, regardless of its practicality.

"The department should organize resources and manpower to hold one or more 'MCU Promotion and Application Grand Prix', facing twelve... no, facing all industries, collecting and evaluating various application solutions with MCU as the core, and selecting the winners."

As the main unit responsible for promoting the use of single-chip microcomputers, the 12th Ministry of Machine Building is qualified to serve all industries.

When the chief engineer of the department heard Gao Zhendong's words, he suddenly felt that the world had become wider. Yes, with honor as the guide, we should actively mobilize the application enthusiasm of all walks of life.

This kind of thing is easy to operate and the results will not be bad, especially today when microcontrollers are just beginning to be used, the results are almost immediate.

Comrade Zhendong is still too modest. What do you mean by throwing out some ideas? Your answer is simply the standard answer.

This reminded him of Wang Bo, who, after writing "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng", modestly said that he was just throwing out a brick to attract jade, and welcomed everyone to write together. But the fact is that his "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng" is already the standard answer, and he is too modest.

"Okay! This is a good idea! I will report it to the department immediately and organize this matter. Chief Engineer Gao, are you interested in being the chief judge? Hahaha." Seeing that the matter was easily solved by Gao Zhendong, the chief engineer of the department, who felt relieved, also started to joke.

As he expected, Gao Zhendong rejected the suggestion neatly on the other end of the phone.

"Forget it. Being a judge is really too time-consuming. I don't have time. If you really need me, I can give the awards to the winners."

This kind of nationwide competition, which is open to the entire industry and represents the most advanced technology, and has both great honor and benefits, is believed to attract technicians from all over the country and will attract many proposals. If Gao Zhendong really becomes the chief judge, a long period of time will be wasted on it, which is unacceptable to him.

The evaluation of the plan cannot be done in a cursory manner. It must be done seriously and take a lot of time. Otherwise, it would be irresponsible to the participating colleagues.

"Okay, it's a deal. When the time comes, you can come to attend the award ceremony. I believe that the comrades will definitely want to see you." The chief engineer of the department said with a smile.

Gao Zhendong also laughed: "That's not necessarily true. Eggs taste good, but you don't necessarily have to see the hen that laid them."

The two laughed on the phone.

Somewhat different from single-chip microcomputers, there has not been any big movement in the current main application of digital signal processors - anti-engineering systems. They just did one thing.

The two types of chips, including the single-chip microcomputer, were directly sent to various units that might use them, such as the Tactical Missile Research Institute, comrades working on various radars, and units engaged in military communications, etc.

The reason why they were able to make such a big move right from the start was because they had the support of Gao Zhendong and laid an ambush.

——Gao Zhendong used the small 10-micron integrated circuit production line in the Third Factory and ran it at full capacity to produce extra chips for the Defense Working Committee.

It's a pity that the integrated circuit line is idle at ordinary times, so it's better to make full use of it.

The happiest people among them are undoubtedly the comrades who are working on airborne Doppler radar. For a fighter jet, every kilogram of weight saved is very important.

The Russians' radars used to be generally heavy, not entirely because of the antenna and architecture, but purely because of the back-end processing technology route. To achieve the function, they had to pay a huge price in volume and weight. On this point, Gao Zhendong still admired the Russians. They could always use seemingly outdated or garbage technology to achieve a goal that was not bad or generally acceptable, or even had some individual advantages.

When the overall strength of other countries in the Economic Assistance Council almost collapsed, they dragged these poor brothers and fought back and forth with the Oceania Convention Organization, which was composed of all developed countries, for a long time on equal terms.

After the comrades working on the PD radar received the single-chip microcomputer and digital signal processing IC, they immediately remembered the promise made by Chief Engineer Gao Zhendong when they consulted him on technical issues. Chief Engineer Gao was here to fulfill his promise, without any ambiguity.
