Chapter 3085 The Research Lab's Goals
After Yang Xiaotao finished recounting the 'six bullets' one by one, some people present were happy while others were worried.

The happy ones are naturally those from the First and Second Ministries of Machine Building who benefit from the project. They will participate in the research and development of various projects, especially the instruments and equipment that are compatible with computers. It is foreseeable that once the research is successful, they will definitely sell very well.

There is no doubt about this.

Those who didn't gain any benefit were naturally the ones who were worried.

Just like the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building, the Sixth Ministry of Machine Building, and the Logistics Department.

At this point, Old Xu became somewhat restless. Their Fifth Ministry of Machinery Industry was originally separated from the Third Ministry of Machinery Industry and was responsible for the management of the weapons industry and its affiliated enterprises, research institutes, and colleges and universities.

But most of the time it's conventional weapons production, research and development and related studies. He really has no confidence in high-tech industries.

The closest thing to come recently is helicopter research.

But to call this a high-tech industry simply doesn't make sense.

As for anything related to computers, there's even less of a connection.

The Sixth Ministry of Machine Building was just like the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building; they were also separated from the Third Ministry of Machine Building and were specifically responsible for shipbuilding.

To say that shipbuilding and computer science have nothing to do with each other is not entirely true.

Computers need to be installed on the ship.

But if you say there's no connection, that's also plausible.

After all, they use computers, they don't build them.

But it's hard to accept that they're giving up like this.

Unlike Xu Lao and Zhou Lao, who were unwilling to accept it, Qin Lao was extremely unwilling.

Everyone else got a benefit, and everything was arranged clearly, so why is there no movement when it comes to him?
From one to nine, oh, for them it's zero.

What is this if not discrimination?
This is treating their logistics department like outsiders.

Old Qin looked displeased, especially when he saw Old Wang winking at him with such arrogance and smugness that it made his heart ache.

"Now that we've talked about bullets, let's discuss our immediate goals."

Suddenly, Yang Xiaotao spoke again.

The displeasure on Old Qin's face vanished instantly, as if he had changed his expression, as if he were welcoming Yang Xiaotao's instructions.

Seeing this, Old Wang curled his lip and said, "They have the face of a dog."

Then he looked at Yang Xiaotao, thinking that their Seventh Ministry of Machinery Industry should also strive for this goal.

"I divide this goal into domestic and international goals."

"Let's talk about the domestic situation first."

Upon hearing this, everyone perked up their ears.

Then Yang Xiaotao spoke up, "The computers we make are not only for office work, but also for military use."

"For example, the artillery detection radar that we successfully developed earlier."

"You should all be familiar with this!"

Upon hearing this, Old Xu immediately responded, "Not unfamiliar, not unfamiliar."

"Is Mr. Yang referring to the 'Longbow' radar?"

"We know this thing. It's very powerful. It even went to the battlefield in Nan'an and the effect was surprisingly good."

"The United States artillery suffered terribly at the time, and North An took this opportunity to launch several brilliant counterattacks."

"Unfortunately, the United States found out about it later, and after being targeted, one of them was destroyed."

"However, the remaining two are still treasures in Bei'an's hands."

Old Zhang, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement. "That's right. This thing plays a significant role on the battlefield. It can calculate the trajectory of artillery shells and thus counterattack. It's an important weapon."

Old Qin's eyes lit up. Did Yang Xiaotao mean he was going to give up this piece of meat?
You should know that each of these things sells for ten million US dollars.

During the last oil war, two of the nine units were sold, and the Persians resold them for 20 million US dollars each.

It's unclear how much the last nine films earned, but it definitely exceeded 20 million US dollars.

Moreover, so far, this thing is said to be sold only by Britain, but their radar performance is far inferior to that of the 'Longbow'.

The alliance bought longbows and took them back to study.

It can be said that this is an absolute weapon on the battlefield.

This is an even bigger order.

Old Qin could understand, and everyone present was no fool; they naturally understood Yang Xiaotao's purpose in throwing this piece of meat out at this moment.

Old Huang, Old Zhao, and the others couldn't help but sigh. Taking out Yang Xiaotao was like cutting off their own flesh.

Compared to the value that Elder Qin, Elder Xu, and others saw, Elder Qian's gaze suddenly became profound.

After taking a sip of tea, he asked softly, "Xiao Tao, do you mean you want to upgrade to a better computer to achieve longer-range, clearer detection?"

Mr. Qian's voice drew everyone's attention, which then became even more fervent.

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Yes."

"Teacher, our Longbow radar still uses the original model computer, the No. 1 of the Nine-Machine System. We originally wanted to install the No. 2 of the Nine-Machine System, but during the research and development, we found that the No. 2 of the Nine-Machine System did not significantly improve the radar. On the contrary, the cost of re-developing it was too high, and there were also difficulties in production, so it was not worth the effort."

"However, the appearance of the computer this time can help improve the performance of the Longbow radar."

"So our people are working on it."

Yang Xiaotao didn't hide anything; this kind of thing needs to be brought out so that more people can get involved.

Mr. Qian nodded in agreement. “If we replace it with Dawn One, it will indeed greatly improve the radar’s reaction speed. It can even complete the calculation through multiple ballistic data, which will be more accurate.”

At this point, Qian Lao looked at Yang Xiaotao again, "If the radar performance is improved, it can also detect artillery at long range, no longer limited to short-range firepower such as mortars."

As Mr. Qian was speaking, Mr. Wang tried to speak several times and even kept giving Mr. Qian meaningful glances, but Mr. Qian's attention was on Yang Xiaotao and he didn't notice Mr. Wang's actions at all.

Yang Xiaotao also failed to notice Wang Lao's actions, as his attention was focused on his interaction with Qian Lao.

"Yes, the teacher hit the nail on the head."

"That's what I'm doing right now."

"One is to make some improvements to the existing Longbow detection radar to enhance its performance and better complete short-range monitoring tasks."

"Then there's the long-range artillery detection you mentioned, but that requires the development of better radars. For example, the radar developed by our Jinling Institute No. 14 will use a large number of semiconductors and multi-band detection technology, with a detection range of 100 kilometers."

"Of course, this is the detection range from an aircraft, but on the ground, it is also farther than existing radar."

"We are working on combining this radar with computers to develop a long-range artillery fire detection radar, 'Strong Bow'!"

"Strong Bow, a good name."

Old Qian smiled faintly, clearly Yang Xiaotao had thought of this long ago, even the name he chose was so fitting.

Everyone else shook their heads inwardly when they heard Yang Xiaotao say that.

How many secrets are still hidden in these nine books?

"However, teacher, we are still conducting a research project, but we haven't made a breakthrough yet."

"Teacher, why don't you take a guess?" "If you guess correctly, this project will belong to the Seventh Ministry of Machinery Industry."

Old Qian laughed heartily, "What are you saying? Isn't that asking me to work for you for free?"

Yang Xiaotao quickly waved his hand, "No, no, teacher, I just wanted you to stay at the Ninth Department for a while and take a walk around."

"If you come, I'll arrange a private office for you in the Ninth Research Institute, with the best computers and the best equipment."

"You're kidding me."

Old Wang couldn't stand it anymore; this was blatant poaching of his people right in front of him.

Moreover, he was a pillar of their Seventh Ministry of Machinery Industry.

As the saying goes, "An uncle may tolerate it, but an aunt cannot."

Old Wang stood up abruptly and glared at Yang Xiaotao.

Yang Xiaotao scratched his head. "Haha, haha, who's drunk and talking a bit unsteadily?"

"Don't mind it, don't mind it."

Old Wang snorted coldly, "I don't believe you for a second. You're like a cat, always eyeing other people's fish."

"Let me tell you, this behavior has seriously hurt the feelings of our revolutionary comrades, and you must make amends."

Everyone had heard Old Wang speak seriously at first, but when he said the word "compensation" later, the crowd immediately started to jeer.

“Old Wang, what General Manager Yang said is not wrong. Old Qian has been wronged by you.”

Old Qin hasn't even gotten any benefits yet, so how can we let Old Wang get involved now?
Old Xu and Old Zhou shared the same thought. Old Xu went straight to the point, saying, "That's right, that's right. Old Qian is President Yang's teacher. Teacher and student are like family. You're being a bit inhumane."

Old Zhou stood to the side, arms crossed, nodding vigorously. "That's right, Old Wang, you've gone too far."

Old Wang stood to the side, dumbfounded, watching the three men clearly targeting him. "You, all three of you."

Old Wang pointed at the three men, but they were on the same side and he couldn't beat them at all. Finally, he snorted and sat down in his chair, "I'm too lazy to talk to you."

However, he still winked at Mr. Qian, urging him to speak quickly, so that he could infuriate these three shameless guys.

Yang Xiaotao looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, take a guess. Whoever guesses correctly gets to do it."

After listening, everyone looked at each other and began to think about the situation.

Seeing that Elder Wang kept urging him, Elder Qian prepared to speak.

"Old money."

Suddenly, Old Qin, who was sitting next to me, spoke softly.

Mr. Qian was taken aback, somewhat puzzled.

"Old Qian, please help me!"

Old Qin spoke directly, and Old Qian, feeling a pang of sympathy, softly replied, "Early warning aircraft."

The situation unfolded rapidly. Before Old Wang could react, Old Qin immediately shouted, "I know, it's an early warning aircraft!"

Old Wang opened his mouth wide, then nodded helplessly.

That damn Qin is taking advantage of me.

Yang Xiaotao glanced at Old Qian and then nodded.

"That's right, it's an early warning aircraft."

Seeing Yang Xiaotao's agreement, Old Qin immediately smiled and said, "Yes, I know the radar used in this early warning aircraft. It's completely unusable, and its low-altitude early warning capabilities are extremely poor."

“We have wanted to make improvements over the years, but we have encountered technical difficulties and our functions have not met expectations, so they have not been given much attention.”

"If we replace it with a better radar and a better computer operating system, the performance will be greatly improved."

"pity."

As Old Qin spoke, he also felt regret.

Originally, this early warning aircraft belonged to their logistics department. Later, because the Ninth Department developed a radar, General Peng handed the project over to the Ninth Department.

The Ninth Division then took on the research of early warning aircraft.

"What's a pity?"

Old Wang asked directly.

Old Qin made no attempt to conceal anything.

"Unfortunately, our logistics department didn't seize the opportunity back then, and in the end, General Peng gave it to the Ninth Division."

"Sigh, I regret it now."

Old Wang scoffed, "Regret my ass! Even if I had saved it for you, how could you possibly have made it?"

"I heard that some people lost their jobs because of these things and went to Lao Chu for help?"

"What's wrong? Do you need me to put in a good word for you?"

"Old Qin, I think it's necessary to remind you. This is a swift and decisive move. From now on, we'll be brothers in arms. If you get involved with those guys in a shady way, the brothers won't dare to entrust their backs to you."

After Old Wang finished speaking, Old Huang, Old Zhang, and the others beside him all looked at Old Qin.

Even Yang Xiaotao knew that the logistics department had too many and too complicated tasks.

Old Huang reminded him more than once to be careful and keep his eyes wide open when cooperating with the logistics department.

When Old Qin saw that everyone was looking over, his expression became serious. "Don't worry, we already started making the cuts last time."

"Old Qin is absolutely reliable."

He patted his chest after saying that.

But doubt still lingered in Old Wang's eyes.

At this moment, Yang Xiaotao spoke up, "Since Lao Qin guessed it, then the logistics department will help with the research on the early warning aircraft project. Once the research is successful, it will be handed over to the logistics department for production."

Yang Xiaotao made the final decision, and Old Qin was deeply grateful.

After all this, the early warning aircraft originally belonged to their logistics department, but they weren't capable of making it themselves, so they handed it over to the Ninth Department.

It's quite dramatic that it's now back in their hands in this way.

However, Old Qin vowed in his heart that he would definitely make a name for himself this time.

"For the improvement of the longbow, we can cooperate with the Fifth Ministry of Machinery Industry. Director Xu, you're quite capable."

Old Xu immediately nodded, "Okay, that's great."

Yang Xiaotao smiled, then looked at Old Zhou, "Then the Qianggong radar will be given to your Sixth Ministry of Machinery Industry!"

Old Zhou nodded with a smile, feeling quite pleased with himself. "If this thing were installed on a ship, it might actually be useful."

Yang Xiaotao thought he made a good point.

After all, this thing is easier to use than an optical rangefinder.

With everyone holding a fruit, the meeting came to an end.
