Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

Seeing that everyone was silent, Lin Kaifeng continued, "Let's not talk about anything else. Let's just talk about guiding the artillery fire. If you want to attack the enemy in a certain area, you must first understand the specific coordinates of the enemy's large forces and send out scouts to correct the coordinates for the artillery unit."

"Of course, these tasks can be accomplished through artillery radar, but it is still impossible to achieve 100% accuracy."

Taking advantage of this question, Lin Kaifeng talked about his understanding of artillery radar.

The earliest artillery auxiliary device was not a radar, but a nearly primitive sonar.

As the name suggests, the sound detector is connected to the sensor coil through a large speaker.

Once the enemy artillery launches an attack, the sound detector will calculate the approximate position of the enemy artillery through its internal components, and provide the enemy artillery's location to its own artillery through function calculation.

After the end of World War II, various countries believed that the technology of this artillery auxiliary equipment was too backward and the help it could provide was extremely limited.

Gradually being eliminated by various countries.

Instead, it was replaced by a new type of artillery attack auxiliary equipment, artillery radar.

But no matter what, artillery radar is not a clairvoyant or a super-hearing person.

Affected by the development of military technology, there are many problems in the artillery radar's detection of enemy artillery positions.

"Experts, drones have countless advantages. They can serve as eyes for artillery, help our assault troops lock onto the enemy's main force, and detect enemy headquarters and logistics supply depots."

"UAVs that combine reconnaissance and attack capabilities will become the ultimate weapon that dominates the battlefield."

Facing these experts, Lin Kaifeng tried his best to convince everyone from the perspective of data and technology.

Northern Machinery's drones will not only be used in the military field, but will also shine in the civilian field and become a new flagship export commodity.

The fly-by-wire control system is the most complex part of the project.

Fortunately, Northern Machinery Company has found solutions to several problems that affect the research.

A mature flight fly-by-wire control system must be equipped with an integrated circuit processor with excellent performance.

There are also issues with sensors that need to be addressed.

"Dear experts, our company has a large number of semiconductor experts, electronic technology experts, and computer programming backbones from the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building. The chip factory we established in cooperation with the Shanghai Electronics Factory No. 5 has officially started production."

"The production of semiconductor processors is no longer a problem for us. Our company's Science and Technology Research Institute has already imported several sets of various types of electronic computers from abroad."

"There is no problem with computer calculations either."

Not long ago, Lin Kaifeng recruited a group of programmers through his connections with the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building.

All of them are experts in the field of paper tape programming.

Many of them have participated in large-scale computer projects in China.

"Comrade Lin Kaifeng, compared to our research institute, your Northern Machinery Company is more like a scientific research institution."

"I didn't expect that in just a few years, the machinery company has mastered so many technologies and equipment that we haven't even mastered yet."

"It's amazing, really amazing, to reverse engineer a high-level motor by producing household appliances."

I don’t know how long it took, but the experts participating in the symposium kept sighing.

It would be a difficult task for any research institution to carry out this project.

after all.

A small drone involves dozens of research problems.

But in the hands of Northern Machinery Company, many problems are no longer problems.

Lin Kaifeng has a lot of talents in semiconductor processors, electronic computers, programming, etc.

Not an exaggeration.

Lin Kaifeng almost drained out all the talents in all fields of the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building.

Although the Third Ministry of Machine Building, which was in charge of the aviation industry, and the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building, which was in charge of the electronics industry, often had interactions, they were two departments after all.

No one expected it.

Lin Kaifeng will be able to second so many talents from the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building.

No one would have thought that the drone's body materials and some electronic components could be replaced by spare parts produced for home appliances.

None of the landlords are as wealthy as Lin Kaifeng.

A joint-stock enterprise has such strong R&D and production capabilities.

Compared with them, the scientific research units under the Third Ministry of Machine Building were as poor as beggars.

Lin Kaifeng smiled and said, "Dear experts, do you have any questions?"

"As the general manager of Northern Machinery Company, I sincerely invite all experts to temporarily put aside their current research and devote themselves to the UAV project."

"One person's ability is limited. If the drone project is to become our core technology, everyone's cooperation is absolutely indispensable."

“Please rest assured that the various projects you are working on will be widely funded through drones in the future.”

Knowing what each scientific research department needs now, Lin Kaifeng made targeted promises to everyone.

Drones and solar power generation technology are two important levers that Lin Kaifeng uses to leverage the desert market.

Once he has opened up the desert area, Lin Kaifeng will have a way to obtain funds in an endless stream from the desert tycoons.

Attract funds and assist military scientific research departments to complete research in various aspects.

"What do you think?"

An old expert stood up and looked around at the people around him.

Lin Kaifeng's meaning was very clear.

As long as everyone devotes themselves to drone research, Northern Machinery Company will find a way to solve their funding problems.

We work closely with the aviation department in this way of reciprocity and mutual assistance.

An expert sighed and said, "As long as we can get research funds, it won't be a problem to bring in everyone in our institute, not just me."

"I have the same attitude. The engine project we are working on is on the verge of being cancelled due to funding issues. If there is an injection of funds, the turbine engine project may survive."

"Our large aircraft project is also short of money, so count me in."

Everyone nodded one by one to express their opinions.

The experts in charge of various research institutes are now worried about money.

Seeing that he had persuaded these experts to join the research, Lin Kaifeng was beaming with joy.

With their participation, drones are likely to be developed within half a year.

Solar power generation technology will also enter the fast lane.

The 1980s was an era of explosive technological inventions, but it was also a time when domestic scientific research departments were struggling.

Due to lack of funds, a large number of aviation projects have been cancelled.

A large number of scientific research experts were left with nothing to do.

The relevant departments do not have extra funds to support the research of these projects, and Northern Machinery Company is willing to take up these projects.

By investing funds on our own initiative, we will help the country complete the final breakthrough research.

And some projects will be turned into commercial products and exported overseas.

Be the first to strangle foreign companies.

Give them a reverse technology barrier.
