Under Liu Yongtan's pressure, all the equipment and materials required for the launch of the digital array radar project were finally in place within three days, and all members of the project team immediately started research and development work.
What they have to do is actually not complicated. In the final analysis, there is only one sentence:
Expand and improve.
Expand the details in the technical documentation and improve the extension on the framework.
As long as these two points are done well, there will be almost no suspense about the birth of digital array radar.
The members of the project team are all the best researchers in the country. It may be difficult for them to study and explore a new technology from scratch, but when all randomness is eliminated, the only thing left is "problem solving" "The efficiency they unleashed during the process was enough to shock everyone.
The bus control software used in the digital array radar only took three days from hello word to testing.
The core signal processor took a week.
As for other simpler hardware assembly, production and manufacturing tasks, the time spent is calculated in hours.
The production lines and assembly workshops of various downstream companies are on standby throughout the entire process. As soon as 14 requests are received, workers are immediately summoned to start work, and the response time is even reduced to within 30 minutes.
Such efficiency is unimaginable in any previous project.
But at the same time, high efficiency also brings inevitable negative effects.
That is, confidentiality is not that easy.
Of course, Liu Yongtan never thought about how well the confidentiality work should be done.
I've already reached the sprint stage, so why should I keep it secret?
What, you know if I want to build a radar, you're going to send planes over to blow me up?
Or are you going to arrange for some spies to come over and set a fire and burn all our technical documents?
Or, are you simply planning to steal the technical documents and use them on yourselves?
What a joke.
No matter which possibility it is, it's a bit too ridiculous.
You know, this is the imperial capital, and this is the Eight Great Places!
When you arrive at the core area, even if a mosquito flies in, you have to put on an anklet at the gate first, let alone a person...
Therefore, although rumors are widespread, the risk of technology leakage is virtually non-existent.
The outside world only knows that the 14th Institute is indeed working on radar, and even knows that they are making rapid progress, and a prototype will appear within a month at the latest. However, no one can get a glimpse of it until the results are announced.
With such a sense of mystery, public opinion has become more and more intense in discussing the project of the 14th Institute, while another very large project quietly entered the scene under the cover of the 14th Institute...
…
At the Western Polytechnic University, in a single dormitory where only one person lived, Li Xiang stared at the computer and was furiously typing on a military forum that was marked as sensitive.
Just a few days ago, he finally received another task from the Intelligence Department, and this task was simpler than ever:
Based on the outline provided by the intelligence agency, the topic of radar projects of 14 institutes was heated up.
If necessary, you can break away from the limitations of the Internet and directly use traditional paper media to attract public attention to this topic.
As for what to say and what to do?
It’s all about freedom of expression.
Or to put it more bluntly, the intelligence agency will not give you any information, you just make it up yourself...
It doesn’t matter whether the information is right or wrong, whether it might involve a leak or not.
The only important thing is to muddy the water.
Therefore, based on this principle, Li Xiang has completely let himself go.
His fingers were typing on the keyboard as fast as he could, and messages were refreshed to the forum one after another.
"Who said that the 14th Institute is engaged in radar? It is an electronic technology institute. What if it is researching electromagnetic guns? Didn't you read the news? During this period, a large number of capacitors left the factory and were then shipped to the Eighth Office. In the science and technology park.”
"Do you think a radar needs so many capacitors? It must be doing other big things!"
"Furthermore, do you believe it yourself when they say they want to develop a digital array radar? Don't you know how difficult this technology is? The two Americans only have a few units, and the technology is not mature at all. 14 institutes? Take the initiative to build it ah!"
After posting, Li Xiang ignored the reply and immediately switched to another account and typed:
"The ones upstairs are too whimsical. Radars are hard to build, but are electromagnetic guns easy to build?"
"Besides, we don't even have radar, so what's the point of building an electromagnetic gun? You don't think we're still in the era of big guns and giant ships, do you? You don't think everyone is still queuing up and shooting at sea, do you?"
"Now we're all targeting beyond visual range, okay? What's the use of building an electromagnetic gun? If you can't see anyone, the missiles will blow up!"
Just after typing, Li Xiang's post immediately received a lot of comments. Seeing that the atmosphere was already getting heated, he released another piece of news that seemed more reliable:
"What 14 is doing this time should be an active phased array radar. Didn't someone see a large number of small antennas being sent to the Eighth Office?"
"Moreover, active phased array radar was originally one of the key research projects of the 14th Institute, so it is normal for progress to be made at this time."
"I just don't know how much improvement this radar can bring to our combat effectiveness after it comes out."
After finishing this sentence, Li Xiang's hands finally left the keyboard.
After several hours of high-intensity posting, he had long since lost the original fun of "cheating" and "fooling", and was working entirely mechanically according to his own logic.
Only when he completed all the tasks he had set and sat down in a chair and watched the netizens who didn't know the truth were noisy, did he feel a little more comfortable.
The louder you argue, the better the effect will be.
No matter what your original intention is, at least you have made a contribution to the country...
Thinking of this, Li Xiang sat up again. He was about to find a few more forums to do precise blasting, but unexpectedly, a profile picture on QQ that had not been lit for a long time suddenly sent him a message.
And the moment he saw this profile picture, Li Xiang's eyes lit up...
…
Kadena Air Base.
Leon looked at the intelligence officer he had trained in front of him and said in a solemn tone:
"Hook, can you guarantee the accuracy of the information? This operation is of great importance, and I will not allow any mistakes in the intelligence."
"Washington's plan has completely failed. Those gentlemen at the May Meeting are like clowns. They confidently thought that they could use their so-called 'non-military' means to restrain our enemies. But in fact, they It just caused one joke after another.”
"We must solve the problem in our own way, the way of soldiers, the way of men!"
"That's not just my opinion, it's the opinion of... Corner Tower."
"Do you understand what I mean? We won't have room for trial and error. We only have one chance!"
"If we can't completely knock down their confidence this time, then we have only the last way to go."
The man opposite nodded solemnly and replied:
"We have confirmed it through multiple channels."
"The research being carried out by the other party is active phased array radar."
"Furthermore, as far as we know, their current technical level is still relatively rudimentary. Even if they can be used, they are unlikely to have much effect if they are isolated and without the support of early warning aircraft."
"On the contrary, although our current F-16s and F-18As still use Doppler radars, with the addition of data link systems, their joint combat capabilities are stronger than them."
"Whether it's reaction speed or situational awareness, they can't compare with us."
"Our combat space is huge and our strategic depth is huge."
"No matter which direction the situation develops, whether it is a conflict or a confrontation, the initiative is on our side."
"We will succeed, General."
"We are not those officials. We know what we should do."
After hearing this, Leon stood up, patted Hook heavily on the shoulder and said:
"It's up to you this time."
Hook stood at attention and gave a military salute.
And over his shoulder, outside this small office, lead clouds suddenly rose on the sea of Kadena.
