Chapter 495 Surprises keep coming
All the comrades walked around this baby, their eyes shining and they admired it.
The comrade of the armored soldier's eyes were even more intense. I'm going to decide on this thing. No one can stop me!
Why did Gao Zhendong call them alone among all the services and arms today? He knew it well, and he knew better that this young man was the deputy chief engineer of the second-generation tank pre-research team. Basically, He is also the appointed deputy chief engineer for the development of second-generation tanks.
The person next to him who is studying this thing carefully is a tank manufacturer at the Prairie Tractor Factory, and he also knows it.
All in all, it is very obvious what Gao Zhendong wants to do when he takes this thing out - install it on a tank.
Seeing everyone's appearance, Gao Zhendong smiled: "Comrades, it's not over yet."
What do you mean?
Everyone looked at him and saw him picking up the walkie-talkie and shouting: "Turn it up!"
A short and powerful "Understood!" came from the walkie-talkie.
Turn around? Transfer what?
While everyone was still confused, they saw the GAZ-69 on the monitor moving.
It’s moving!
As the sound of the car engine downstairs increases, it starts to move!
Although there is a little smear and the image quality is as indescribable as ever, everyone can clearly see that the car is moving happily.
If it was just "visible" just now, now it is "watching closely".
Everyone was overjoyed. If the still picture just now solved the problems of reconnaissance and planning, then being able to generate real-time video would solve the problem of command and fire control.
The comrade of the armored soldier was particularly excited. The still picture just now allowed him to imagine a quiet-on-quiet battle at night, but this scene now gave him hope of action-on-action.
Quietness and silence are enough. Why are you so polite and even serve Dong Dong?
Lu Gong of the Guidance and Research Institute was even more excited: "Mr. Gao, can this thing..." He didn't finish his words, but everyone understood what he meant.
Gao Zhendong shook his head: "We can't do it for the time being. First, it's too expensive. Second, it's too heavy. Third, it's too big. It's disposable and cannot be used."
Although the tellurium of a line scan thermal imaging camera Mercury-cadmium crystals are only enough to make a few missiles. It seems that there is not much difference between the two in terms of mercury-cadmium telluride. However, the difference between a thermal imager and an orthogonal quaternary detector is more than a pound of mercury-cadmium telluride. At eight taels, the cost difference is huge.
But everyone understood the meaning of Gao Zhendong’s words, “Not for the time being.”
That’s okay. The Thunderbolt-1 is still advanced now. The leaders of the National Defense Work Committee know this, because not long ago, Lao Maozi asked for an exchange of Thunderbolt-1 technology.
The more advanced Thunderbolt-1 modification is also on the way, so he is not in a hurry about loading the thermal imaging camera and blowing it up at once, and has no idea yet.
But if you put it on a tank, it's no problem. This thing looks rare.
Mr. Luo of Changjian Machinery Factory is already imagining the scene of combining this thing with individual anti-tank missiles to fight tanks at night. It’s so beautiful!
When Lao He looked at this thing, he almost went up and carried it and ran away. If this thing is installed on a tank, what kind of infrared headlight does it need?
Mr. Gao hasn’t taken care of our Prairie Tractor Factory for a long time. I didn’t expect that it would be a big one again.
The leader of the Defense Working Committee looked at Gao Zhendong: "Zhendong, your step is too big!"
In fact, Gao Zhendong has some achievements that are more important than thermal imaging cameras, but those things are not as intuitive as thermal imaging cameras. Intuitive! This is more touching.
So if you want to bribe someone, a cash check of 10 million is not necessarily as useful as a cash check of 2 million. Many people can still stay rational when they see a check, but when faced with a pile of cash, the impact is not as powerful as a check. Most of the time, the saying that wealth and silk can move people's hearts is not something that can be said casually.
Gao Zhendong took a big step, and it didn’t involve anything, which is good.
Gao Zhendong smiled and said: "It's not over yet, there are still a few small functions to show."
You are really done, aren't you? Redefine "small"? In everyone's opinion, the function of this thing is not "small".
Everyone almost laughed as they watched Gao Zhendong pick up the walkie-talkie.
"Put a net!"
Put a net? What does this mean?
But the people from the National Defense Work Committee and the Armored Corps probably guessed that this website should be a disguised Internet cafe? Can this thing break the disguise?
Following Gao Zhendong’s instructions, everyone saw several groups of light spots that looked like human figures in the screen surrounding the car.
Before the netting work was completed, this scene of clearly seeing figures moving in the night made everyone realize one thing. Not only can this thing see tanks clearly, it can even see people clearly at night!
Although Gao Zhendong hasn’t explained the principle yet, everyone can probably guess the working principle of this device from the bright and distorted hood. It relies on heat. temperature!
But what I didn’t expect was that even the temperature difference between the person and the background could be detected by it.
Looking at the busy work of the comrades below, the leader of the National Defense Working Committee looked at Gao Zhendong: "Zhendong, this thing can be used for more than just tanks. If it were made smaller and cheaper, the frontline commander would not be there. ”
Gao Zhendong nodded, thinking that this thing can be used by individual soldiers in the future.
In fact, the thermal imaging camera is really more effective as a command equipment than as a guidance equipment. Before Gao Zhendong crossed over, during the Battle of Liangmao, the Javelin missile tanks did not hit a few vehicles, but the thermal imaging camera used for aiming was very popular and was used as a battlefield observation device, which was very useful.
While everyone was talking, the comrades below had already put the camouflage net on the Jeep. Although the pixels were very poor, you could still see a little bit of the camouflage net.
It is conceivable that if the vehicle is observed from a distance under field conditions, it will basically blend into the background, making it difficult to detect.
But everyone discovered that under the camouflage net, dots of high-temperature signals were still obvious on the monitor.
"Good guy, this is a sharp eye!" shouted the comrade of the armored soldier.
Even if I can’t hit you, I can still find you! I can call for artillery.
When the leaders of the National Defense Working Committee saw this scene, they couldn't calm down even more. This thing is good, and it is good everywhere, except that it is expensive.
He looked at Gao Zhendong: "The cost of this thing, can it be..."
The meaning is obvious, can the equipment be popularized as much as possible.
Gao Zhendong shook his head: "It is difficult to reduce costs. If infantry wants to be popularized, we can only consider strengthening the plan during wartime. However, for armored troops and mechanized infantry, it is not completely impossible. At least it can play a lot of roles."
Knowing that Gao Zhendong has made many serious achievements and has many clever ideas, the leader of the Defense Work Committee urged with great interest: "Let's talk about it."
"Aren't we working on infantry fighting vehicles? , modify the infantry fighting vehicle a little, weaken the loading performance, decorate with fewer people, install thermal imaging cameras, optical reconnaissance equipment, nuclear, biological and chemical detection equipment, etc., and turn it into a reconnaissance vehicle. Each battalion can equip a few vehicles. It plays a lot of roles.”
Forget about millimeter-wave radar, it’s not realistic now.
Now everyone knows that this thing is called a thermal imaging camera. This is a good name!
"Are we going to install a few more radio stations and bring in the conductor as well?" Mr. He from the Prairie Tractor Factory asked.
Gao Zhendong shook his head: "That won't work. The reconnaissance vehicle runs in front, and its battlefield deployment position is different from that of the command vehicle. Moreover, it cannot hold so many things and people. The command vehicle still needs to be specially modified. , the two cannot be mixed together.”
It would be great fun for the commander to wander around the front line and be shot by the enemy. The command vehicle is so easy to recognize, who it is, see the head. Anyone with a bunch of antennas would definitely want to slap them in the face.
Hearing this, the leaders of the National Defense Work Committee and the armored soldiers looked at each other. This thing seems reliable!
Armored forces must have matching equipment and combat styles. These two things are tailor-made for armored forces, and the equipment of command vehicles can also be used by infantry, field command posts Yes, at least the size of the battalion command post can still be accommodated.
Do it!
The two of them didn't expect to get an idea by the way, and they were very satisfied. This trip was worth it!
Just when everyone was excited and excited, the thermal imaging camera seemed to be broken.
Everyone only saw that the screen on the monitor began to gradually blur, and the grayscale disappeared so much that it was difficult to see clearly.
No one cares about it. It’s just bad. It’s not that it can’t be repaired. This little thing is not a problem at all.
Gao Zhendong touched his head and said with an embarrassed smile: "Everyone, I'm sorry, the coolant has been drained."
Except for Lu Gong from the Institute of Guidance and Research, who had already expected it, everyone knew now The large bottle next to it is for cooling. No wonder Gao Zhendong said it is not easy to popularize. Just this large bottle is not an ordinary trouble.
But this is not a big problem. Compared with the ability of this equipment to completely change the style of night combat, this is nothing.
Gao Zhendong explained while changing the air bottle: "This cooling device is temporarily borrowed from the Institute of Guidance and Research. It relies on gas cooling. I am working on an electric cooling device to actually match it. Trial production has started, it should be soon, that thing is much smaller than this thing, and there is no need to carry a gas cylinder."
This sentence made the comrades present completely let go of their last regrets. It turns out that Gao always has it. If you consider a specialized cooling device, there is no need to bring this large bottle to the battlefield.
However, everyone has not seen semiconductor cooling equipment, and they have not realized that this thing is actually a very practical thing now, and it is even a little bit outrageous compared to the current cooling methods.
They were just amazed by Gao Zhendong's comprehensiveness and his talent that flowed freely.
The existing cooling device is not good enough, so just build one yourself! And it was a cooling device that sounded completely out of line with his major.
By the way, who else remembers that Gao Zhendong’s major is automation?
This ability is, if not unique, at least extremely rare.
