Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 2014 Dare to Try
“Innovation can make a country strong!”

When the old man said this, everyone was shocked.

If Liu Lixue said this, it would at most be a commentary.

When spoken by Mr. Huang, it was just a slogan, representing the next intention of the Ministry of First Machine Building.

But coming from the old man, it is a sign of the times.

High wind vanes will be set up across the country.

Papapa

Yang Xiaotao was the first to applaud, and at the same time he became more convinced of the old man's judgment.

Some people say that science and education are the key to national prosperity, some say that self-strengthening is the key to national prosperity, and some even say that we should learn from foreigners in order to defeat them.

But in Yang Xiaotao's view, science, education and self-reliance are a process of innovation.

Whether it is learning, imitating or working hard, one element is indispensable, that is, a strong country must have its own core.

Have your own stuff.

You can’t own everything from others, nor can you follow others in everything.

The 'space war' in the previous life was actually just a 'movie'.

But this movie has become a bottomless pit.

In comparison, the ancient Eastern country, which has steadily walked its own path step by step, is once again on the path to glory.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiaotao's heart trembled.

Do you want to expose each other's 'movie masterpieces' in the future?
I just thought about it and gave up.

At the very least, he didn't want to expose the other party's conspiracy before the bear in the north fell.

In fact, Yang Xiaotao didn't even plan to say anything until he surpassed the other party.

It's always good to have a goal ahead.

Even if it is just a fantasy of a 'filmmaker', it is not a goal.

"I heard that your machinery factory received another large order!"

The old man waved his hand, walked up to a Mole assault vehicle, looked it over, and finally asked.

Yang Xiaotao originally didn't want to include this assault vehicle because its crude workmanship somewhat lowered the appearance of the memorial.

But Yang Youning felt that this car could be exchanged for a large amount of foreign exchange, and its practical significance was no less than that of the Kuiniu armored vehicle.

So I insisted on putting it here.

It also specifically explained the manufacturing process, significance and achievements of this car.

Especially the three words "Yang Xiaotao" were deliberately enlarged.

This left Yang Xiaotao speechless.

"You want a lot of those Mole Assault Vehicles?"

As the old man continued to speak, Mr. Huang and the others behind him all laughed.

This time the order is much larger than the last time, and the Ministry of First Machine Industry is also proud of it.

You know, the wheels, bearings and other things purchased by the machinery factory are all from Quancheng Machinery Factory, which is part of their First Machinery Department.

It can be said that when the money was finally divided, one third went to their Ministry of Machine Building.

The other machine departments can only be jealous.

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Yes, Mr. Chen mentioned it last time. The property in the south was taken away by the enemy last time. If it weren't for our 17th parallel that made the enemy afraid, they would have been crushed to the ground long ago!"

"I don't know what these guys are thinking. They have increased their purchase efforts and said they want 1,000 vehicles. Really."

Yang Xiaotao looked around and said, "It's really a shame that the son sells his father's land."

The old man laughed and said, "This is normal. After all, they didn't pay for it themselves!"

Old Huang nodded. "The alliance is taking good care of their godson now. They give money and supplies when they need them. They are just short of directly helping them."

Yang Xiaotao sneered, "These guys are only capable of this."

"The boss has already taken action himself, but they are still hiding behind and encouraging their subordinates to take action. They don't act like the boss at all."

“They deserve it.”

Yang Xiaotao stopped talking quickly. The other party was at the peak of his career at that time, and what happened later had not happened yet.

".It's a mess, it's untidy, it's a mess."

Although it was a bit difficult for everyone to understand, it was the true situation within the alliance.

What's more, if the other side was willing to fight back then, we wouldn't have to pay such a high price.

"It's none of our business."

The old man stopped the topic and then looked at Yang Xiaotao and asked, "Have you ever thought about how to solve this situation in the future?"

"Solve it with weapons and equipment?"

After the old man finished speaking, the people around him fell silent.

Of course, I feel happy when I see others being abused.

But if it happens to you, you will be scared.

If Yu Bei were here, he would definitely say that he would complete the mission to the death.

But there is no other solution.

If this happens to them, they will not be able to look at the problem from a soldier's perspective.

After hesitating for a moment, Yang Xiaotao said, "Commander, the best way to deal with the enemy's air defense is plane to plane!"

The old man nodded. He had thought about this.

But he wanted to hear if Yang Xiaotao and the others had any other ideas.

Seeing that the old man didn't say anything, Yang Xiaotao continued, "Secondly, it's anti-aircraft weapons."

"What we use most now is anti-aircraft guns, but now the performance of aircraft is getting better and better, especially the speed is getting faster and faster, so the effect on air defense is not as good as before."

"However, air defense weapons will keep pace with the times in the future, and the war between spear and shield will always be tense."

"Just like the rockets we are researching, they can shoot down airplanes now. In the future, they can be improved and miniaturized, so that they can be hung on cars and run around, or hung on airplanes and used as missiles to shoot down airplanes..."

Yang Xiaotao repeated what he was thinking, and the old man nodded repeatedly.

"They said they want to install anti-fire protection on the delivered vehicles. Do you think it's feasible?"

Yang Xiaotao hesitated to speak, and looked at Huang Lao and Xia Lao. Neither of them seemed to want to talk, so he gritted his teeth and said, "In my opinion, it's useless!"

"why?"

"Commander, think about it, this plane is flying so high, and the other side is not stupid, the intensity of aerial reconnaissance will only be stronger than before."

"It's hard to ambush the opponent."

"Besides, even if we are ambushed, it would be difficult to hit them given the speed of their aircraft."

“So I think it’s useless.”

The old man nodded slightly, agreeing with Yang Xiaotao's words. "But, Commander, we have to sell this car and load it."

"Otherwise, how can we make money and develop?"

When these words were spoken, everyone around him smiled knowingly.

Isn't it just about making money?

Yang Xiaotao glanced at the people around him and knew what they were thinking. Even the leader himself was rubbing his palms, obviously thinking about it.

Cough
Yang Xiaotao coughed lightly, then said seriously, "I think by doing this, we can test our ideas on the spot."

"Anyway, the Alliance pays for it, they provide the weapons and equipment, and Annan is responsible for providing the data."

"This will be of great help to our future military industry development."

The smiles on their faces froze instantly, and then they felt a little embarrassed, so they nodded in agreement.

"This is a good idea, and we will have the opportunity to test it in practice."

“It’s really a place for training.”

Huang Lao was the first to agree, "Commander, you can ask the comrades from the logistics department to participate, and we can discuss it together."

After hearing this, Yang Xiaotao immediately gave a thumbs up.

If Mr. Qin heard this, he would probably be furious.

Originally, this work was all done by the logistics department, and the meat never made it into other people's bowls.

The old man put his hands behind his back and nodded with satisfaction.

But the old man quickly looked at Yang Xiaotao and said, "Since you have this idea, then there is no need to bother two people."

"The modification work of the Mole Assault Vehicle will be completed by your machinery factory."

"If you have any ideas, try them boldly."

"When you say innovation, isn't it about thinking of things that others haven't thought of and doing things that others haven't done?"

"But you can't say it yourself, you can't finish it."

Yang Xiaotao immediately smiled with eight teeth showing.

These are all benefits.

"Yes, I promise to complete the mission."

"Well, if you fail to complete the task, I will punish you with a stick."

Yang Xiaotao was not afraid at all. He had the funds, the technology, and the task.

In this way, what kind of car can’t be made?
"Don't worry. I can't say anything else, but launching a smoke bomb to cover the sky is still possible."

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and the old man pointed at Yang Xiaotao and said, "Don't play tricks."

"Yes!"

Everyone laughed again.

"By the way, Commander, speaking of researching new equipment."

"It just so happens that we are still working on a gun aiming system."

After introducing the engine, Yang Xiaotao suddenly said something that immediately aroused the old man's curiosity.

"Gunsight system?"

Yang Xiaotao nodded, then waved to Liu Xiangdong who was standing beside him.

Liu Xiangdong looked at Yang Xiaotao with gratitude. He understood that Yang Xiaotao was creating opportunities for him to perform.

"Comrade Liu Xiangdong is the director of the Ordnance Research Institute of our Red Star Machinery Factory and the main researcher responsible for this gun aiming system."

"Hello, Chief."

Liu Xiangdong suppressed his inner excitement.

Although he had been with everyone for most of the day, he only said a few words to the above.

Now is the chance to show off.

"Commander, the original intention of researching this gun aiming system is to increase the gunner's aiming speed."

"We all know that after a tanker finds an enemy, he must turn the muzzle as quickly as possible. However, if the speed is too fast, kinetic energy will be generated and the gun will pass the aiming point, so he must slow down. When approaching the aiming point, there will be a 'precision aiming speed', which is very slow."

"According to our understanding, the tanks currently in use have very fast precision aiming speeds. Sometimes they will overtake, then adjust back, then adjust back again. If that still doesn't work, they have to adjust back again, and aim repeatedly."

"According to my observations, even the most skilled gunners need three adjustments before they can lock onto the target!"

"And most gunners need more than four!"

Liu Xiangdong repeated what he had said to Yang Xiaotao, and after everyone heard it, even those who had never driven a tank could understand the reason.

It's just like riding in a car. If the car brakes suddenly, you have to rush forward.

The faster the speed, the more difficult it is to return to the original position.

The old man looked at him with curiosity, as he had also been to the battlefield.

I am no stranger to fighting.

"You are working on this now, the gun aiming system?"

"Yes. We intend to use the principle of pulses."

Liu Xiangdong continued to speak while Yang Xiaotao stood aside with a look of satisfaction on his face.

These talents are capable of handling things on their own, so he can feel more relaxed.

Mr. Huang and Mr. Xia had the same expression.

However, both of them felt a little regretful in their hearts. If this person had discovered it earlier, it would have been their Ministry of Machinery.

As Liu Xiangdong finished speaking, the old man took a deep breath and looked at Mr. Huang and others, "Today, I have personally felt the innovative spirit of the Red Star Machinery Factory."

"From there, to here, and finally here."

The old man pointed forward, then brought his finger in front of his eyes, and finally pointed at his head. "First find the problem, then raise the question, then solve the problem, keep pace with the times, and complete the task."

“This is the practical application of the spirit of innovation.”

"Okay, very good."

The old man looked at Yang Xiaotao again and said, "We must do our best to make this gun aiming system."

"On the battlefield, with real weapons and swords, there's no time for you to aim."

"If you aim and fire early, you can protect yourself. You have to make sure this is done."

“If there are any problems that cannot be solved, they must be raised.”

Yang Xiaotao quickly stood with Liu Xiangdong and said, "Don't worry, Commander. We will do our best to complete the task."

"Okay, I'm waiting for your good news."

"Yes!"

Then Yang Xiaotao accompanied the old man to the next place.
