Chapter 964 Double Three Five

"It can't be compressed too much, and the aerodynamic layout of this aircraft has a big flaw, which is that its maneuverability is not good. It is probably a manned rocket with limited maneuverability, and the predictability of intercepting it is very high. For the Russians, this thing is not a big threat." Gao Zhendong said confidently.

"But is it possible that the Citi people think that although this thing is not a threat to the polar bear, it is a big threat to us, and continue to develop it?" The comrades in the Air Force thought very carefully and did preliminary or predictive work. "More planning and less decision-making" is not a derogatory term.

"Well... we are not that much of a threat to the Citigroups. They won't think that way." Gao Zhendong almost said, "You think too highly of us," but he held back. These days, the Citigroups' number one target is always the Russians, and that will never change.

"And... this is also the second point I want to make. I have seen its specifications and can roughly infer the technology and production scale it will use. Combining these points, this thing will not be cheap, and Citigroup will not be willing to part with it. At the same time, whether the technology it uses is mature is still uncertain. Under the current technological conditions, it is difficult to develop further."

The price of this thing can never be lowered, and it is even less likely to be cheap in the hands of Citigroup.

The unit price of the XB-70 prototype has reached the same level as that of aircraft carriers of the same period. Gao Zhendong would never believe that the Americans were willing to build it just to deal with us at this moment.

Impossible, absolutely impossible.jpg.

Upon hearing this, the comrades in the Air Force carefully wrote down Gao Zhendong's words word for word.

Since Comrade Gao Zhendong was so determined and insisted on his ideas, he only needed to record them truthfully.

The task assigned by your superior is very clear. Ask as many questions as possible, but do not attempt to correct or guide Chief Engineer Gao's ideas. What your superior wants is Chief Engineer Gao's most honest opinion.

The original words were: "It doesn't matter what you think, what Comrade Zhendong thinks is the most important."

After they recorded their words, Gao Zhendong smiled and said, "Although I don't think they can do this in the end, we can't do nothing. I have a suggestion that you can convey to the leaders."

The visiting comrade was overjoyed that he had an unexpected reward: "Please go ahead."

"I suggest that we should have means to deal with such high-altitude and high-speed targets. To a certain extent, they may not be willing to use them to attack, but they are willing to use them to scout," said Gao Zhendong.

The comrades in the Air Force were somewhat puzzled. Isn't this the wrong way around? "Chief Engineer Gao, they even gave up on attacking, and they are willing to use it for reconnaissance?"

In his mind, fists are the hard truth, and there is no point in just looking at them. There is no way, we have suffered too much from firepower, and when we consider things, we can't help but think in that direction.

"When a real fight breaks out, fists are definitely important, but when the fight isn't going on, reconnaissance becomes more important." Gao Zhendong didn't tell him which one was more important. It was a confusing matter that couldn't be calculated clearly, and there was no need to calculate it clearly. Instead, he explained the problem from different stages.

"Ah, I understand. In peacetime, these targets are more likely to appear, just like their RB-57, P-2V and U-2." The Air Force comrade recalled the wonderful battles fought by the Air Force in recent years and understood a little bit.

"Yes, that's right. We may not be able to develop a fighter jet specifically for them now, mainly because we can't afford it and it's also technically difficult. But we can start from another direction."

"Which direction?" Here it comes, the main point of the drama is here! The visiting comrades are very excited.

"We use the imitated S-75 missile as a basis to develop a missile that can reach an altitude of 35000 meters and strike targets at 3.5 Mach." Gao Zhendong simply proposed a "double three and five". As long as it can cover this range, it will be enough.

Moreover, this type of missile is not only aimed at double three-five targets, but also targets below this level are within its coverage range, so this type of missile has good versatility.

It can go to the ground, it can go into the sea, it can... Never mind, Gao Zhendong shook his head in his heart, forget about going to the sky, things like Sister Pomegranate carrying the electric pole are still a bit beyond the scope now, fighter jets are not that big, unless...

Gao Zhendong shook his head and brought his wandering thoughts back.

"Aircraft that can fly to double three-five don't have very good maneuverability in that state. As long as we can reach them and guide them, the threat to them will be very great."

"Okay, okay, I will definitely convey your opinions truthfully." The visiting comrade did not ask how to change the matter. Chief Engineer Gao suggested the change, so he must have some ideas in mind, but these ideas were not what he should ask about now.

The visiting comrade left very quickly. His only purpose of coming had been achieved, and it would be inappropriate to take up Chief Engineer Gao's time any longer.

Gao Zhendong took a local specialty brought back from Qianshan and leisurely went to find Zheng Liangshu to continue his previous work.

His opinions were brought back to the Air Force, and the comrades in the Air Force looked at the records in their hands, thinking and nodding.

"That makes sense. He has good reasons for predicting that the Citigroup bomber won't work."

Another leader laughed and said, "That being said, he is not resting on his laurels. He still suggested setting up an air defense missile to deal with the situation."

"We may have difficulty in making an airplane now, but it is relatively simple to make a missile. After all, the S-75 foundation is there." The leader felt that Gao Zhendong's suggestion was very pragmatic. He did not turn a blind eye to it, but it was also the best response within his capabilities. No matter whether you, the Citigroup guys, have it in the end or not, we have guns in our hands, so we are not panicking.

For the S-75, to put it simply, the firing height and speed can be increased by stacking propellants. Although there are certainly difficulties, it is at least much simpler than flying an aircraft to 30000 meters. Stacking materials cannot produce an engine and aircraft that can fly double-three, but there is still some hope of stacking missiles. As for how to stack them, I think Comrade Zhendong must have an idea in mind since he proposed this suggestion.

"Well, this suggestion is worth considering."

On Monday, December 1962, 12, Gao Zhendong received an unexpected package.

Looking closely, I saw that it was from Qianshan, and the sending address was Zhuangyuanlou, Qianyang City, Qianshan Province.

It seems that the comrades in Qianshan have always remembered him. Gao Zhendong is very happy.

The package contained some local specialties and a letter with some New Year greetings, and nothing else. There was no mention of anything work-related, not even what Gao Zhendong had done in Qianshan.

Blessings are blessings, and the comrades in Qianshan have grasped it very well.

Reading Qianshan's letter, Gao Zhendong suddenly remembered some things that happened recently, and some dusty memories came to his mind.

He immediately wrote a letter and sent it to an email address listed on the letter in the package.

Who cares? Let’s just give it a try first. This matter is not a problem for the comrades in Qianshan.

Near the Zhuangyuan Building in Qianyang City, the comrade responsible for liaison with Gao Zhendong received a letter from Gao Zhendong. After reading it, he was a little stunned.

Chief Engineer Gao’s request is a bit too strange and really hard to understand.

But no matter how much I couldn't figure it out, I couldn't neglect this matter. Their request was just strange, but not difficult to do.

He took the printed copy of the email and went straight to his leader. Although the matter was not troublesome, he could not handle it and needed to coordinate with his comrades below.

His leader also looked constipated when he looked at the mail he brought.

"What do you think Chief Engineer Gao is going to do? Does he really think this is his hometown and is homesick and reluctant to leave?" the leader said with a smile.

"I don't know, but a great scientist like him shouldn't do that, right? Besides, if that were the case, he would have done it before he left." The comrade who reported the case could only guess wildly, as this matter was really too far-fetched.

"Never mind, just do as he asks. He also specified the location and range, so I think it has nothing to do with what I said. It may be related to scientific research. In the name of the General Office, you should coordinate with comrades in related regions to deal with it seriously." If you can't figure it out, forget it. Just do your job well.

Gao Zhendong himself divided up the things Qianshan had sent him, giving some to people close to him. The things he got were not many, but they were new and interesting.

That night, he sat by the fire, with the Qianshan specialties prepared by Lou Xiao'e in front of him. Although Lou Xiao'e didn't know how to cook Qianshan dishes, she had no problem steaming and chopping them.

Lou Xiao'e knew his habit. Every year on New Year's Eve, Gao Zhendong would wait until the early morning of New Year's Day before going to bed. However, this year, Lou Xiao'e simply let the nanny put the two children to sleep by themselves, while she stayed with Gao Zhendong by the return air furnace.

It doesn't matter what they talk about, she is happy just looking at Gao Zhendong.

Gao Zhendong drank Maozi happily. It was sent by comrades from Qianshan. The taste was different. It was suggested by the system. It was a bit explosive and scratchy at the throat.

He joked with Lou Xiao'e from time to time, and waited quietly for the arrival of midnight in his heart. Throughout the year, the dog system would only move once, so he had to be serious.

As midnight arrived, the long-lost but familiar information flashed through his consciousness again.

It’s still those familiar beginnings, and still those familiar names.

"Qin Huairu, the main character, has been completely changed and will no longer be included in the upgrade settlement in the future."

"He Yuzhu, the main character, has been completely changed and will no longer be included in the upgrade settlement in the future."

"Great plot, minor characters, big changes."

"Yi Zhonghai, the main character, has changed dramatically."

"Director Yang, minor character, minor changes."

"Deputy Director Li, minor figure, minor changes."
