"Beep beep beep!"
Early the next morning, Zhou Yang was woken up by the harsh work whistle in the village.
He gets up, washes, and cooks as usual...
Before half past seven, he rushed to the research institute with the two generals, Fan Debiao and Liu Yunlong.
When Zhou Yang came to the research institute, he saw many scientific researchers strolling outside, looking relaxed and at ease.
This made Zhou Yang suddenly realize a problem!
As the pulse Doppler radar and artillery reconnaissance radar were both finalized, the institute had not determined the next research direction, nor had it received any research tasks from superiors, so the researchers of the institute inevitably relaxed.
This is not a good phenomenon. Over time, it will affect the status of scientific researchers.
Thinking of this, he knew that the next phase of research direction of the institute must be determined as soon as possible.
It’s just that we have to think carefully about what kind of research we should do next.
In fact, Mr. Jiang and Mr. Nie asked Zhou Yang this question before leaving, but he did not give the two leaders a definite answer.
Zhou Yang knew very well that Mr. Jiang and Mr. Nie hoped that he could research newer and more advanced radars. After all, airborne radars and artillery reconnaissance radars are only two of the dozens of radars that our country currently urgently needs. Many places require advanced radar support.
Take our navy as an example. At present, the warning and fire control radars of our naval ships generally adopt conventional mechanical scanning systems. There is a huge gap in technology and combat capabilities with foreign advanced phased array system radars.
The Air Force's airborne radar is currently only capable of the pulse Doppler radar developed by the Babaoliang Research Institute. Other than that, other types of radars are still overwhelmed.
Therefore, the country now urgently needs more advanced radars.
But Zhou Yang knows better that once research on any project begins, a large amount of manpower, material and financial resources will be invested.
With the country currently experiencing a huge fiscal deficit crisis, every penny must be spent wisely and cannot be done blindly.
Firstly, they cannot waste precious time, and secondly, the country does not have so much scientific research funds for them to waste.
Thinking of this, after arriving at the office, Zhou Yang immediately asked Liu Yunlong to call Yan Haisheng, Guo Yamin, Zheng Aiguo, Yang Hongguang and Chen Shanhe over, preparing to discuss the matter with them.
Soon, these key players came over one after another!
After everyone arrived, Zhou Yang said immediately: "I called everyone here today mainly to talk about the next research direction of our institute. If you have any thoughts on this issue, please tell me directly!"
Hearing this, everyone present fell silent.
In fact, they have been thinking about this issue in the past few days. After all, they all know the situation of the institute. Many people suddenly lost motivation and direction after the completion of those two projects.
But no one has any good ideas about what specific research projects to carry out.
Seeing that no one had any intention of attracting attention, Zhou Yang immediately called out his name: "Mr. Guo, you are our Dinghai Shenzhen. I want to hear your thoughts first?"
Guo Yamin thought for a while and said: "My idea is that we can either strike while the iron is hot and study a new pulse Doppler radar, or we can study ship radar!"
"Forget about the pulse Doppler radar. With the performance of the Type 888 radar, it will not lag behind the Thieving Eagle and Furry Bear Alliance within at least five to ten years. There is no need to invest money and manpower in this area for the time being."
Then Zhou Yang changed his voice and said again: "But the ship radar mentioned by Mr. Guo can be considered!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Haisheng said: "It's just that we are not close to the sea, and we don't know much about naval ships. We don't have the conditions to develop ship radars at all, so I think we can try to develop an early warning aircraft radar." !”
"Isn't the early warning aircraft already being tested? Why do we still waste time and effort on this?" Guo Yamin frowned.
Yan Haisheng sighed and said: "We currently use the 843 radar on the early warning aircraft. The performance of this radar is not bad, but it has quite serious flaws."
Hearing this, Zhou Yang nodded and said, "This is a direction!"
Zhou Yang knew, however, that the Air Police No. 1 currently being developed above was doomed to fail. The reason was that the radar of the early warning aircraft was unqualified and could not meet the design requirements.
If conditions permit, we can build an early warning aircraft radar.
In addition, Zhou Yang also feels that he can also start researching anti-stealth radar now. The reason is because the Thief Eagle's anti-stealth fighter will successfully test fly in 2081 and be commissioned into the army in 2083.
Although this fighter, named F117 by the Thief Eagle, performs very poorly in terms of maneuverability and bomb load, it is a stealth fighter after all.
Once this thing appears in our country, it will be impossible to detect it with the current performance of radar.
And it’s not too late to start researching now.
At this moment, Zheng Aiguo unexpectedly said: "Then let me share my opinion. I think our institute does not need to study any radars at the moment. What everyone should do most is study and lay a solid foundation!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Yang's eyes suddenly lit up. Mr. Zheng's words were deeply recognized by him.
"Mr. Zheng, keep talking!"
Zheng Aiguo nodded and then said: "Compared to researching new radars, I think the vast majority of researchers at the institute should lay a solid foundation and outline the details."
"Although our institute has many experienced researchers, a considerable number of them are graduates transferred directly from scientific research institutions. They are greatly lacking in knowledge reserves and research experience."
"The success of two consecutive projects has made some of them have their tails raised to the top of their heads and become impatient. Therefore, at this time, project research should be suspended, these people should be organized to study, and relevant technologies should be carried out. In-depth research, such as pulse compression technology, moving target display, etc.!”
Hearing this, Zhou Yang couldn't help but nodded.
As a top expert who has been working in the radar field for decades, Zhou Yang is very aware of the common problems in the entire radar research field in China, which are insufficient basic research and insufficient precision.
The reason why our radar has not been successful after more than 20 years of research is not only due to objective reasons that cannot be explained, but more importantly, our basic research is seriously insufficient.
If we organize these scientific researchers to study at this time, it can be regarded as making up for the shortcomings of the institute. In the long run, it is still necessary!
Thinking of this, Zhou Yang looked at the crowd and said, "I think Mr. Zheng's idea is very good. Apart from the fact that some people are impatient and not suitable for carrying out the project, the time is also not suitable!"
"It's almost November now. Before the Gregorian calendar year, our institute still needs to summarize the work of this year and report it to Qingcheng."
"Mr. Zheng and I will go out in a few days, and we are not sure when we will come back. Therefore, it is also a good choice to take advantage of this time to organize the young people in the institute to study!"
Seeing that Zhou Yang seemed to be more inclined to Zheng Aiguo's suggestion, everyone present also began to think seriously.
After a while, Guo Yamin said: "Young people in the organization can study, but not optics. Just like Lao Zheng said, we should specifically formulate some key subjects or technologies for them to study while studying. !”
"I think it's okay!" Yan Haisheng said.
"I have no opinion!"
"I agree..."
Soon, several heads of departments at the institute reached a consensus on this matter.
Afterwards, a few people studied the next subjects of study and the techniques to tackle key problems in Zhou Yang's office!
PS: It was too late to finish writing yesterday, so I can only post it until today. When I was looking through the photo album in the evening, I saw some photos of the pastoral area taken last summer. I want to share them with you!
