Chapter 43: Legendary Chief Designer of Military Industry! Project 9910!
The advancement of the 'High-Tech Foundation' was not as smooth as Chen Jianzhao had expected.
Even if he could exchange ready-made technologies from the system, it wasn't something that could be achieved overnight.
Just like a person cannot possess both youth and the feeling of youth at the same time.
Chen Jianzhao wanted to have both the present and the future in the historical process of 'first being able to die together, then gradually catching up, then overtaking on a bend, and finally all of you getting on board'.
The theoretical knowledge that needed to be studied was like several small hills.
Even with the most extraordinary talent, it wasn't an easy task.
At best, his situation was slightly better than Zhao Jianjun, who often 'lands in a box' (died in game).
Take the phased array radar technology he had been researching recently, you need to study the key material, gallium arsenide, in the core component TR module.
This involves silicon-based semiconductor manufacturing technology.
Apart from manufacturing technology, you also need to research mineral development, extraction, and related technologies, because these raw materials are found alongside coal, tin, and sphalerite mines.
How to make these mines, which produce raw materials, stably and cheaply produce large quantities is also a specialized field of knowledge.
Above gallium arsenide, there is also gallium nitride...
Therefore, advanced technologies have a series of challenges from development to application.
These are paths few people have ventured far down, there are no templates for Chen Jianzhao to follow, he can only rely on the technology provided by the system, reverse engineering, and existing theoretical guidance, to gradually explore.
While Chen Jianzhao was 'immersed' in the boundless ocean of knowledge.
Northern Industries Group,
A subsidiary of an Eastern superpower's weapons industry group.
This was the same company where Chen Jianzhao's Guardian-type new rocket launcher was successfully developed, leading to the suspension of research and production of the Type 03 artillery.
At this moment, in the top floor conference room.
A fierce argument was taking place.
"I disagree!"
"I don't think inviting that so-called little expert can solve the technical difficulties of Project 9910 and complete the new generation upgrade!"
"I admit he's a genius, and he has outstanding achievements in many fields, but Project 9910 is different, it's a tank, not some childish toy car or plane!"
"Moreover, no one is perfect, even if he has incredible abilities, he can't know everything, can he?"
The person in the conference room who spoke with arrogance was called Ma Boming, a technical backbone of the Northern Industries Group, and a key research and development personnel in Project 9910.
He usually remained silent in the project.
He looked like an ordinary, hardworking scientific researcher.
But when he did speak, like now, he carried a lot of weight and was also too lazy to use his emotional intelligence.
The Project 9910 he mentioned, everyone knew its other name.
It was the famous 'Gou Gou-type' main battle tank.
It was independently researched and produced in China, finalized in 1999, and officially entered service as a third-generation main battle tank, carrying profound significance.
Today's meeting was actually a communication meeting before the start of the project to further improve the 'Gou Gou-type' main battle tank.
Almost all the key research and development personnel were present.
Even the father of the Gou Gou-type main battle tank, Old Zhu, was seated in the main seat, listening to the opinions of all members.
As the legendary chief designer known as the 'Luban of the Military', Old Zhu had countless legendary stories.
If we were to go back, it would go back to when he was studying at the 'Whampoa Military Academy'.
Well... the so-called brain-hole novels in Feilu are still conservative.
Things like 'Exposure, I Talked Big with xxx in the Republic of China', 'Anti-Japanese War: I Have a Military Factory, Providing Ammo for Li Yunlong'.... all conservative.
Because Old Zhu had personally experienced all of these.
The explosives at the time were not powerful enough, he came up with the idea of directional blasting in tunnels, blowing up the enemy's fortifications and watchtowers together.
The landmines buried by our army lacked concealment, he invented the time-delay explosion technology, even if the enemy discovered the mines, they wouldn't escape being blown up.
He also invented the mortar flat-fire method, transforming the mortar, which could only be fired in a curved trajectory and had poor strike power and accuracy, into a combat weapon that could take out a small fortification with a few shots...
It was during a mortar experimental teaching session, due to a failed launch of a mortar shell, Old Zhu wanted to understand why, and reached out to check if the shell was loaded properly, when the shell exploded, leaving him with a missing right arm.
This legendary chief designer of the military industry, after the success of Project 9910, laden with honors, actually proposed inviting the 'little expert' of military industry research and development, Chen Jianzhao, to join the improvement project team.
Of course, these words were spoken through the mouth of his secretary.
This way, he could better understand the most objective facts.
Otherwise, if he proposed it, everyone would agree on the surface but not cooperate secretly, which would greatly hinder the progress of the project.
But what Old Zhu didn't expect was that, at the project communication meeting to unify thoughts, before the 'mountain topism' within the project protested against the proposal, Ma Boming was the first to jump out and oppose it.
Although he was arrogant by nature, he was also a rising star with real ability and a true researcher.
He usually disdained the so-called honors.
He wasn't the kind of person who would be afraid of others coming and sharing the credit.
Before Old Zhu could think further, as he expected, the 'mountain topism' in the conference room echoed Ma Boming's opposition.
One voice of opposition after another, like waves, each louder than the last.
It's normal, the human heart is separated by a bra.
A big forest should have all kinds of birds.
Such a large group company, such a large project team, should have all kinds of people and all kinds of voices.
Those who are jealous, those who want to steal credit, those who want to reap the benefits, those who are afraid of losing credit, those who want to gild themselves...
None of this is unusual.
Isn't this the necessity of having a communication meeting before the project starts?
With Old Zhu's prestige, he wouldn't be unable to resolve these problems and people.
But as a wise man who has lived for so many years, he knows that solving the main contradictions in research and development is the first goal, and he also understands the truth that 'there are no perfect people, only people who don't know how to use people'.
As now, he had to let everyone understand why Chen Jianzhao was invited, and what the bottom line of this matter was.
But before Old Zhu could open his mouth, Ma Boming, like a 'comic relief' in a spy drama, gave the 'mountain topism' a harsh backstab.
"Old Zhu, at least give me a convincing reason?"
Well... when things are investigated thoroughly, asking one more question is actually making progress.
Obviously, this was not what the 'mountain topism' wanted to see.
They wanted this proposal to be rejected outright!
