Chapter 388: Thirty years ahead of his peers
Several other comrades also looked at him with expressions of not having enough to eat.
Seeing that everyone was like this, Gao Zhendong didn't hold back anymore.
“In the process of researching silicon single crystals, I combined with foreign literature and discovered a new infrared sensitive material. Although it is more expensive, its performance far exceeds that of lead sulfide, and it is made into four As for the element orthogonal detector, based on its structural characteristics, it is not too expensive.”
Both linear arrays and planar arrays of mercury cadmium telluride are more expensive, but four strip-shaped detection units are more expensive. , that would be much cheaper.
Moreover, orthogonal quaternary elements output pulse signals, which means that the consistency requirements for the four units, unlike line arrays and planar arrays, are not too high, which is very beneficial for cost reduction.
“What material?” A group of people said in unison, wanting to pick up Gao Zhendong and shake him twice to get all the stuff out of his stomach!
“The infrared performance of cadmium mercury telluride far exceeds that of lead sulfide, and the infrared sensitive band is adjustable according to needs.”
Indium antimonide is a good thing, but so is cadmium mercury telluride .
To be honest, no one knows anything about this thing, but Gao Zhendong can take it out decisively, which proves that he must be confident.
The comrades at the Guidance and Research Institute are so beautiful in their hearts. Is this the superiority of large-scale army operations? Whatever comes to mind, the comrades are ready even for things they haven't thought of yet.
Lu Gong was very anxious: "Consultant Gao, do you have samples of this material now?"
Gao Zhendong smiled and said: "I have taken the relevant institutes in our ministry to A stable polycrystalline compound has been prepared and some preliminary tests have been conducted. The performance is very good! I will give you some existing test results to study first. However, to use it in an infrared detector, a single crystal is required. Nowadays, single crystals are required. The production is under study, and the progress is very fast and smooth. The possibility of success is very high."
These two "extraordinary" words immediately excited everyone present, most of whom were present. Acquaintances, they are still aware of Gao Zhendong's wording habits. He uses words that are conservative. He has said "very good" and "very big", so this matter is basically inseparable.
The most excited person was the comrade from the Flying Army. They were the ones using everything.
He couldn't help but ask the question he was most concerned about: "Comrade Zhendong, what effects do you expect this material to achieve if it is put into use?" The target locking ability is expected to be increased to more than 8 kilometers, and"
Before he finished speaking, the comrade of the Flying Army slapped the table: "I want this, I want this."
< br>Different from the long-range air-to-air missiles in the future that often have a range of seventy or eighty, hundreds of kilometers or even hundreds of kilometers, we are still in the era of machine gun dogfights. The thought of being able to hit the enemy with a dart from 8 kilometers away, He was very excited.
The leader of the National Defense Working Committee smiled and said: "What are you anxious about? This is being done for you. And what? Zhendong, continue."
"And this kind of sensor coupled with the four-element orthogonal detector can obtain a search and locking angle of at least 45°. This is why I said that the missile body must be modified. Without changing the missile body and flight control actuator, this guidance Such a large detection angle is such a waste! I hope that with the modification of the missile body, I can obtain an off-axis launch angle of at least 45°, and at the same time, it can also greatly increase the upper limit of the G value of the enemy aircraft that can be dealt with and the G value of the carrier aircraft when launching. The upper limit of G value. ”
Gao Zhendong set up an ambush for all these data.
Even though there was an ambush, his words still shocked everyone present. 45° detection angle? ? It was unheard of in this day and age, and unthinkable.
“Are you serious?” The leader of the Defense Working Committee looked at Gao Zhendong seriously.
Gao Zhendong spit and nailed: "Seriously!"
"I have approved this major model change! Comrades from the Air Force, do you have any opinions?" I'll approve it first, and then I'll ask if you have any opinions.
"No objection. Even if the National Defense Working Committee does not approve it, we must raise money ourselves to get this thing out!" The comrades of the Flying Army looked happy, why are they looking at the predetermined thunder and lightning at this time? -1, I feel a little disgusted.
It is a bad idea to like the new and dislike the old. This comrade began to criticize himself in his heart.
Only the model chief engineer of the Institute of Guidance and Research: "Consultant Gao, what is the off-axis launch angle?"
At this time, there was no such concept.
"It is the angle at which the missile can be launched away from the axis of the carrier aircraft body."
Oh, the comrades in the flying army immediately understood the advantages of this parameter in combat.
After getting excited, the leader of the National Defense Working Committee thought of a question: "How much does this thing cost?"
Don't think it's so expensive, you can't afford it. You can't afford it even with a penny. A heroic man.
Gao Zhendong said: "The cost is higher, but it is not very high when used in a structure like an orthogonal quaternary detector. In fact, I originally made this material with the intention of using it for thermal imaging. Instrument, but the price is too high, and it is really unaffordable to use it on air-to-air bombs, so the next best thing is to choose the orthogonal four-element detector structure. ""Thermal imager?" Comrades again. My mouth is drooling, cough, cough, and this thing! It sounds like a good product!
Gao Zhendong smiled, shook his head and said: "Forget about that thing on air-to-air missiles for the time being. The price is not expensive, and the technology has yet to mature. That is what I will do for the next generation."< br>
Leader of the National Defense Work Committee: "Cough! Cough!! Cough!!!"
It is probably prepared for tanks. He is also the deputy chief engineer of the next generation tank, although he is still in the technical field. It's in the pre-research stage, but I don't want to talk about it here.
Huh? oh! Got it, got it.
Gao Zhendong quickly changed his words: "In short, the price/performance ratio is not high. The structure I proposed now is the most suitable at this stage."
Everyone smiled at this small cooperation between the leader and Gao Zhendong. , understand, understand.
The structure and sensor Gao Zhendong presented is a typical three-and-a-half-generation structure. The reason why it is said to be three-and-a-half generations is because it is prepared for a relatively large off-axis emission angle and high overload.
Although indium antimonide is not used, the performance of cadmium mercury telluride is not bad. For thermal imaging cameras, it can't be any worse.
With the development of the overall environment and situation, Gao Zhendong has some bigger goals in mind than before. Although it is not the biggest one, that one is too complicated, but at least it is not too small.
Regardless of whether it can be achieved or not, at least set a goal first and try to create the conditions for it. Maybe it will be achieved!
You can fail temporarily, but you cannot live without ideals.
So he began to try his best to promote the development of related technologies, such as this infrared combat missile that is 30 years ahead. It is so far ahead that it is enough to bring about extremely significant changes in tactics, even if it only changes A short period of time, but it may be able to promote the emergence of a window period.
The chief model engineer of the Research Institute also understood this truth and said with a smile: "Consultant Gao, our Research Institute strongly requests to participate in your major modification project. You see, we still have a lot of experience in this area. Yes, I think you can use it too.”
What he said was very interesting and skillful.
This project is genuine and we want to participate. The location is still very upright and the posture is very elegant.
Gao Zhendong smiled. He had no intention of doing it himself and had no time at all.
"You should do this yourself. With the Thunderbolt-1, you are better at doing this. I have a lot of things to do, how can I be busy, hahaha."
" This doesn’t work, let’s just take part.”
The leader of the Defense Working Committee smiled, the comrades from the Institute of Guidance and Research are still very flexible, but Comrade Zhendong obviously doesn’t care about this, he One sentence decides the matter
"Needless to say, Zhendong is busy and has no time to do this for you. In this way, let's hire a deputy chief engineer. With this and the fact that he is your consultant, when you are digging into Comrade Zhendong's family, You don’t have to feel so guilty, hahaha.”
In this way, on the day the Thunderbolt-1 was just scheduled to be finalized, the topic of Thunderbolt-1 modification was already decided, and the improvement direction and main technical route were also set. , improvement indicators are clearly set, this is almost unprecedented in the history of our equipment research and development, and as for the newcomers, there are probably not many.
All parties participating in the meeting were very satisfied with it and each got what they needed.
As for Gao Zhendong? Well, with the addition of Thunderbolt-1, the title of deputy chief engineer will not increase by a dime.
Regarding the significance of this small meeting, Lu Gong who participated in the meeting said this decades later: "To use today's Internet buzzwords as an analogy, we were completely unaware of this at the time. The 'seriousness' of the matter. This bomb proposed by Comrade Gao Zhendong has allowed us to quietly lead in the field of infrared air-to-air combat bombs for at least twenty years, and even thirty years later, we still maintain the first echelon in the world. level. Before the emergence of infrared focal plane array technology, all the technical principles of infrared point source guidance basically failed to escape the ones he talked about in just half an hour at the meeting that day, but he just got it right in one step. We chose the most advanced and suitable one.”
After the meeting, the leader once again looked at Gao Zhendong's back by the window as he rode away, and said to himself: "It's outrageous, it's outrageous! How unbecoming! We have to make arrangements with his department!"< br>

In the early morning of August 1st, on the sea along the southeast coast, the shadow of a ship loomed.
This is a steel boat with beautiful lines. It weighs about 200 tons. It is not a big boat. It is considered a boat under 500 tons.
The small boat does not look much different from an artillery escort boat or a torpedo boat, but in the night, the four huge boxes at the rear of the boat indicate its extraordinary status.
This is our comrade from Haidong Shipyard. Under the guidance of experts from Lao Maozi and the cooperation of anti-ship missile imitation units, we worked overtime and used the 6621 missile boat outfitted with Zhengxian No. 1 domestic anti-ship missile as quickly as possible. After that, it was sent to its most important battlefield in the future for sea trials.
Today is a holiday, and it is also the day when the boat conducts night sailing trials. All the comrades on the boat celebrate the birthday of this invincible force in this way.
