Chapter 684 It’s better to be absolute
Just when everyone was somewhat surprised at the bold idea of ​​this "mysterious man", Gao Zhendong did something big.

"In fact, my suggestion is that if you want to develop long-range missiles, don't go for the 8500 long-range ones. The 8500 is neither too high nor too low. It has insufficient deterrence against our main targets, and the coverage is not absolute, which means it absolutely does not cover us!"

What the hell did we hear?
Is it true that this comrade's martial virtue is too abundant?
The leader of the Defense Work Committee took over the conversation: "Comrade Consultant, our current view is that as long as we ensure that they are covered and attacked within a certain range, it will be enough to deter them from acting rashly."

Gao Zhendong laughed when he heard this. He thought so at first, but after seeing it many times in his previous life, he found that it was not the case.

"I don't think we can use our attitude towards the masses to mechanically apply their attitude towards their people. When necessary, ordinary people in half of the country are just a real number to them. As long as their upper class can hide, they can give up the rest without hesitation. I think they are always bloodthirsty, and this will never change."

Hiss~~~~~~
Gao Zhendong's words caused a commotion in the meeting hall.

If our comrades, adhering to thousands of years of culture and heritage, judge others by themselves and believe that opponents have moral bottom lines no matter what, then Gao Zhendong's words show them another possibility - the enemy may not be what we imagined.

This is a completely new perspective and feeling. Many people present were shocked speechless, especially those who work in technology. They had never thought that things could be like this.

The leader of the Defense Work Committee quickly put these aside and turned the topic back to technology.

"Comrade Advisor, do you think that if we want to develop long-range missiles, we should start with 11500-meter missiles?"

"Yes, at least we can ensure that they cover the entire territory of the enemy. In this case, even if we only have 10 or 20 missiles on combat readiness, they will not dare to act rashly. After all, with 8500, some of their classes only need to hide in the eastern half, or they can keep at least half of them. But 11500 means that unless they go abroad, it is useless to hide anywhere. At the same time, we have the ability to destroy the foundation of their entire society. In this case, they will think more rationally. Many times, the reason that determines their thinking is not that they know they are wrong, but that they know they are going to die."

These words shocked the comrades at the meeting again. This comrade really...

Senior Brother Zhang and the others then realized that, although Gao Zhendong was a technician like themselves, the biggest difference between him and them was that he had the blood of real enemies on his hands!

"But the technical difficulty between the two is not comparable, right? Comrade Consultant."

"No, for us now, the technical difficulty of the two is the same, hehe."

Gao Zhendong's few chuckles on the phone made the comrades present react and laugh.

Anyway, there is none, and technically speaking, there is no essential difference between the two.

"In terms of range, if we can stack it up to 8500, it's actually not that far from 11500. At worst, we can just make it a little heavier. If that doesn't work, we can just upgrade the two-stage to three-stage. Let's not talk about whether it's good or not, let's first solve the problem of whether it has one or not. In terms of accuracy, if the 11500 can't hit the target, the 8500 won't be much better."

Those present all had a good understanding of ballistic missile technology, and even the most sophisticated ones in the country, so they knew that Gao Zhendong had no problem with what he said. In terms of technology, the two were actually at the same level.

"Thank you, comrade consultant. We will fully consider your opinions and suggestions." The leader of the Defense Work Committee ended the call.

Gao Zhendong had no idea what happened afterwards. He just ran away after showing off. He had no choice but to run away as he couldn't just sit there and wait.

As for the more detailed questions, it’s not that Gao Zhendong can’t answer them. For him, as long as you dare to ask, I will search for them and find a way to answer them for you.

The problem is that it’s not convenient to ask here, so there’s nothing we can do.

After Gao Zhendong left, the user representative thought for a long time and made a suggestion: "Comrades, how about we do it at 4500, but test it at 3500?"

This unconventional approach shocked everyone.

If this approach is applied to other places and other times, it is actually no different from the 3500-kilometer project. The people doing the work are only responsible for the acceptance indicators.

If you are testing 3500 kilometers, basically everything will be done towards 3500 kilometers, because in this way, many indicators, including research and development costs, will be greatly reduced, it will be easy to achieve, and it will be convenient for all parties to explain.

But at this point in time, this matter has a slight possibility of being realized.

I can only say that the era is quite special.

The Defense Working Committee discussed it with the comrades working on missiles and felt that it was a feasible idea.

The final minutes of the meeting read as follows.

"…The range of the new medium-range missile should be 4500 kilometers, and the minimum range should not be less than 3500 kilometers…"

As for short-range missiles, they will not be considered. No matter what a group of people think, they all think that what the "mysterious man" said makes sense. It is impossible to spare the time to develop solid-state launch short-range missiles now. Liquid-launched ones cannot be produced in large quantities and cannot be scaled up, so they are meaningless.

The top priority is another sentence in the memo.

"…with the fastest speed, we will calculate and demonstrate that we can cover the use of aerospace and medium-range and longer-range strategic missiles, using one or two types of liquid rocket engines fueled by unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine/nitrogen tetroxide, with the engine as the core, to drive the formation of long-range and deep-space projection capabilities…"

The more everyone discussed, the more they felt that this "mysterious man's" suggestion was really a very good one. It was equivalent to solving the basic technical problems of related needs for at least 20 years at one time, without having to rebuild the engine every time a new equipment was developed.

There are several suitable products on the shelf, just combine them when the time comes.

If one is not enough, use two; if two are not enough, use four… However, the Russian N-1 rocket later had 30 engines in the first stage, and the five-stage rocket used a total of four types of five engines, which was indeed beyond the technical capabilities of the time.

But we are not going to the moon, so we don't need to think so far.

Of course, this is just a memorandum, which is probably slightly more formal than the minutes of the meeting, but it does not constitute a resolution. A formal resolution can only be formed after a report. Things of this level are not that simple.

As for those who meet remotely, even the memorandum is not included for the time being, but it is recorded in detail in the meeting minutes.

The day after the meeting, the leaders of the Defense Work Committee took the meeting minutes and memorandum to report the situation to the leaders.

The leaders read the meeting minutes very carefully. They do not understand technology and need to have a comprehensive understanding of the conference speeches. They should try their best to understand the details of the matter from the speeches of their comrades so that they can make better relevant judgments.

"Wow, Comrade Gao Zhendong is very murderous!" It's not that the leaders only knew Gao Zhendong, but Gao Zhendong's telephone speech was the most eccentric among them. He didn't even look like a technical person.

"Yes, and the goal is also very clear. Comrades coming down from the battlefield have very obvious characteristics and clear likes and dislikes."

"Well, it's good to focus on the key points and solve the main contradictions."

"The coverage is not absolute, that is, it is absolutely not covered... Hahaha, interesting, interesting, Comrade Gao Zhendong has mastered the method of dialectical unity very well."

"This statement is not without reason."

"Look, look, his analysis of the enemy's nature is very correct. He ignores the details and goes straight to the essence."

"..."

The Defense Work Committee couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to get down to business.

"Commendations, today we are reporting on ballistic missiles."

One of the leaders laughed out loud: "Ah, sorry, I am so happy to see the prey, so happy to see the prey."

After that, several leaders started discussing and asked a few questions from time to time.

"...Well, I think the opinions in this memorandum are basically very pertinent and also in line with existing conditions."

"Yes, in the medium range, we should try to control the two oceans and the Oil Bay. I think this idea is correct. Since the range has been upgraded, the mission should also be upgraded. If it is neither up nor down, it is better not to do it."

"So it seems that the medium range still needs to be 4500 kilometers. Do you feel any pressure from the Defense Work Committee?"

The leader of the Defense Work Committee remembered what Gao Zhendong said on the phone, that the accuracy of 4500 and 1700 is actually similar and will not be too bad.

Although he didn't know where Gao Zhendong got his confidence from, he knew that what Gao Zhendong said must have a basis and the possibility of it being realized was very high.

"No, no. Many comrades at the meeting were in favor of 4500 kilometers. We are quite confident about this range." The leader of the Defense Work Committee said with a smile.

"Well, that's good. Then we'll add to your burden. It'll be 4500 kilometers!"

The Defense Work Committee took the lead: "No problem, we will definitely complete the task."

"As for this missile with a range of longer range, what do you think?"

"I think we should do some preliminary research. We really don't have the money right now, but we can still do some preliminary work."

"Based on 8500 preliminary research?"

"11500. It's not absolutely covered. It's definitely not covered. Hahaha."

"You, you, have also been led astray."

The Defense Work Committee is very clear about this matter. The possibility of 11500 being the cause is greater.

Who doesn't want better? It's just a matter of worrying about the technology and the cost.

Technically, Gao Zhendong's words are very convincing, especially since he has a lot of achievements to his credit, his technical judgments carry a lot of weight.

As for the cost... in case the leaders of the Working Committee know the chief, the chief is very far-sighted in this matter and is very willing to spend. The amount is not large and it is invested in batches over the years. As for how much impact it will have on the economy, it is not that big. The economic situation has been okay in the past two years.
