Chapter 406: Arrow Breaks the Sky
The leaders of the National Defense Work Committee understand Mr. Zhang’s self-awareness.
"Well, that's fine. What you do is definitely not as good as a professional institute. Just be responsible and use it. I will arrange this. Just put everything you have written down here. Don’t take it back.”
Mr. Zhang is anxious that what he recorded back from Gao Zhendong has become a hot potato for him. There are still many materials that he needs to be careful about. It would be best if you don't bring any gadgets.
He hurriedly put the things on the leader’s office: “Leader, we are just waiting for the good news.”
The leader put the things away and asked: "What is the current situation of the work of Zhangu No. 1?"
Although Mr. Zhang is not responsible for the overall situation, he has come, so it is necessary to ask.
Mr. Zhang knew about this, and his work was normal. He said there was no pressure at all: "Our Chief Jin also asked me to report this matter to you. Overall, it went smoothly. We should be able to conduct test launches immediately. Now, the addition of DJS series transistor computers has greatly reduced our workload and speeded up our work.”
For Chief Jin, it is not easy for everyone in the entire base to travel to Beijing. Maybe everything will be reported in person.
Originally in the timeline, Zhangu No. 1 was successfully test-fired in November. Now it is August, two months ahead of schedule. The reason why it is not as advanced as another "key product" in Damo is, The main reason is that Zhangu No. 1 is based on sample ammunition and data, and the amount of calculations is not that much.
"It's ahead of schedule? Are you sure? How is the technical and tactical performance?" The leader was still a little happy about this.
“There is still some certainty. Generally speaking, the supporting factories are doing very well, and some products have even been ahead of schedule in terms of performance. However, the copy of Zhangu No. 1 has poor foundation. , We have met the original indicators for technical and tactical performance, but in order to meet the needs, we think it is more appropriate to focus on Zhangu No. 2 according to your arrangements at that time.”
National Defense Work Committee. The leader was not dissatisfied with this: "Well, Zhangu No. 1 was mainly used for military training. Even the little Japs can't reach that range, so it's not interesting. How is the pre-research status of Zhan Gu No. 2?"
< br>Speaking of this, Mr. Zhang is no longer sleepy.
“Very optimistic. The original main consideration was to lengthen and amplify the Zhangu-1, but there was no technical breakthrough. But with the help of Comrade Gao Zhendong, we have achieved considerable progress in terms of fuel, guidance, flight control, etc. Compared with the originally planned Zhangu No. 2, there has been great progress, especially the application of normal temperature fuel, which has reduced costs, improved maintainability and response speed, and the technical and tactical indicators have been greatly improved.”
The leader of the National Defense Working Committee was very satisfied with this: "Well, that's good. You go back and tell Commander Jin to complete the test firing of Zhangu No. 1 as soon as possible, and then shift the focus of work to the improvement, improvement and finalization of Zhan Gu No. 2." Go.”
——
On the last day of August 1960, as soon as Gao Zhendong went to work, he opened the "Daily" he took from the door. He jumped up on his chair and shouted loudly.
“Okay!!!”
On the front page, there was news about the successful test launch of my country’s first ballistic missile.
"A long arrow leaning against the sky, piercing the sky"
As soon as this title came into view, Gao Zhendong knew what it was. At this time, strategy and tactics were added. There were only a few models under development, and among them, There is nothing else that fits the style of this title except ballistic missiles.
After calming down and taking a look, it turned out to be the news that the Zhangu-1 test was successful.
As a senior military fan, Gao Zhendong knew the original test launch time of this missile. Calculating, it was advanced by more than two months. It seemed that it was the influence of his little butterfly.
What is the specific impact? Maybe it’s faster calculations, maybe it’s fuller food, maybe it’s more resources, maybe it’s better technology, it’s all possible, maybe.
I definitely have no direct contribution to War Drum No. 1. Judging from the time I have been in contact with Mr. Cai and Senior Brother Zhang, even if the other party obtains new technology, they will not rashly modify the already formed War Drum No. 1, but It should be more likely to be applied to War Drum II and even later models.
Despite this, Gao Zhendong is quite proud of the early test launch of Zhangu No. 1.
If you can advance two months on this matter and at least two years on another matter, can other matters also have more impact?
Gao Zhendong was reading the newspaper and having fun when someone came to see him.
He is a comrade from the cultural and publicity department. Gao Zhendong asked someone to inquire about medical books last time.
This comrade was indeed dedicated to his work. He inquired about everything as quickly as possible, pulled out several lists, and came to see Gao Zhendong.
"Director Gao, fortunately, these are the existing public publications in medicine based on my preliminary statistics."
After saying that, I took a few printed lists. When Gao Zhendong came out, he was still wondering why there were several copies, when he saw the other party handing them over and introducing them.
“This is partial diagnosis and treatment, this is surgery, this is theory, this is traditional Chinese medicine.”
Good guy, even though he said he wanted diagnosis and treatment, the other party was still very dedicated. We also collected other related books.
Look at what they did, it's just like Gaojiazhuang in the Jizhong Plain during the Anti-Japanese War, it's all authentic! Gao Zhendong browsed through it carefully. Although the books at this time were far less abundant than they would be in the future, there were still over a thousand books after all.
Children only make choices, adults want them all!
Gao Zhendong looked at these lists and said: "Comrade, can I ask you a favor? Buy me two copies of each of these books. You can calculate how much they cost, and I will give them to you. ”
As for why I bought two copies of each kind, it is naturally useful to him.
He said it in an understatement, but this incident frightened the comrades in the propaganda department.
The price of books at this time was not as high as tens or hundreds of dollars as it would be in the future, but it still cost a few cents to a few dollars.
For these thousands of books, if you buy two of each kind, it will cost several thousand for one large book and ten thousand for a small one.
Let’s not talk about whether Chief Engineer Gao has so much money. Even if he did, he would not dare to take it. This number is too exaggerated for ordinary people.
"This, this" the comrades in the cultural and publicity department suddenly fell into a downtime.
Gao Zhendong thought that the other party was afraid that he didn't have enough money, so he quickly added: "You don't have to worry about money. I have published many books and my savings are enough."
Comrade, I don't have so much money even if you have it. So bold.
When Gao Zhendong spoke, the comrades in the cultural and publicity department came up with a solution: "Mr. Gao, it's like this. I'm not worried that you don't have the money, but I'm worried that I can't do this myself. There are so many books. The amount is huge.”
Hearing this, Gao Zhendong understood that these books were probably not available in a bookstore.
"I think this is it, Mr. Gao. I will go back and report it to our unit. The unit will come forward and contact the main store of New Painting Bookstore directly. They will handle the matter. Then we will see how much it will cost, and then you can give it. It’s too late.”
Well, this method is reliable. The people in their cultural and publicity department have dealt with the comrades of the New Painting Bookstore a lot, so it will definitely be easier than doing it on their own.
"That's great, I'll leave this to you. I hope this happens as quickly as possible."
The head office will directly transfer the goods according to the list, which should be as fast as possible. It would be much faster, which made Gao Zhendong's mind come alive, and he would do another good deed by the way.
The other party agreed repeatedly and went back to do things with Gao Zhendong's request.
——
At about the same time, several comrades from the original research institute in Beijing were invited to the National Defense Work Committee. It was said that there was a new topic they wanted to entrust to them for research.
Although the laser gyroscope seems to be an optical problem, it is actually more of an in-depth study of laser applications.
As for the laser, it has only been officially launched for a few months. Not to mention the country, even the whole world combined, there are not many people who are familiar with this thing.
The most in-depth research on this from a theoretical perspective in China should be the comrades of the original research institute. Even according to the inventor of the laser, Comrade Gao Zhendong of the No. 3 Rolling Plant of the 17th Machinery Department, he himself is the same Not as good as the comrades from the original research institute.
The National Defense Work Committee still has a very accurate judgment on which unit should be selected to be responsible for the overall development of laser gyroscopes, and did not go to the comrades of the Northeast Optics Institute.
The people who came from the original research institute were their director, chief engineer, and two comrades who had the most profound knowledge of laser research. This was a major required by the National Defense Work Committee.
In a small conference room, they saw the principle idea of a laser gyroscope.
The two comrades who are engaged in lasers are just like seeing a treasure, and they are worried about not finding the direction of applied research, so this is a problem.
After reading the principle idea, they were very sure that this thing can be done.
One of them first affirmed the theoretical feasibility: "The idea of this laser gyroscope is indeed feasible. From a principle point of view, it is based on the Sagnac proposed in 1913. Effect, originally this effect is difficult to use in this direction, because the wavelength of the light that can be used is very complex, and it is difficult to measure the optical path difference. ”
Another added: "But the emergence of lasers has really changed this situation. Laser has good monochromaticity and a very narrow wavelength range, which provides the possibility for the application of this principle. The proposer of this principle not only I have a solid grasp of past knowledge, and I also have a good track record of new technologies. I immediately grasped this point of laser and found a new application direction by combining it with the Sagnac effect. Genius, genius!”
These two are indeed professionals, and they immediately thought of the technical principles on which this idea is based.
The discovery of this effect was actually earlier than the introduction of the laser principle. Some people were also studying it, but due to the light source, it did not have practical application prospects.
