Siheyuan: I eat melons while doing scientific research

Chapter 1087: Piece-for-piece exchange
Gao Zhendong did not participate in the discussion, but instead looked through the meeting materials in his hand with interest, on which there were some contents that had not yet been discussed.

This is an old problem of Gao Zhendong. Since he was young, he has been following a different pace from the teacher in class. It is common for him to watch the fifth lesson to kill time while the teacher is teaching the third lesson.

Seeing that there were some major differences of opinion at the meeting, the leader of the Defense Work Committee poked Gao Zhendong on the shoulder.

"Come on, come on, say a few words."

Even if there are no disagreements, we still have to listen to Gao Zhendong's opinions. It's a collective decision and no one can sit back and do nothing. Now that there are some disagreements, we have to listen to his opinions even more.

Seeing Gao Zhendong put away the meeting materials, most of the other comrades looked at him.

The person who knows and understands these equipments is the one who knows them best, because he is the one who made them, so his words are very important.

Even those who don’t know know that this person’s opinion was adopted by the majority at the meeting, which also shows that his words are important.

"Red Sword-61 and 105 are slippery. My opinion is the same as that of most comrades. Just give them away. It can also be considered as helping our Gallic friends cure their illness. They are worried about this and it's a big problem for them." Gao Zhendong started by insulting that person as usual +1.

Hearing his words, everyone laughed. It was nice to relax. Unexpectedly, Gao Dapao was such a humorous comrade.

"Of course, the most important thing is that in the short term, these technologies pose no threat to us. These technologies themselves are not very advanced. As for the long term, to be honest, they can always get similar ones by importing or developing them themselves. We are now taking advantage of the first-mover advantage to create a time difference. Don't forget that their current technical capabilities and environment are stronger than ours."

The comrades all nodded, these two things were indeed no big deal.

As for our comrades in the north, to be honest, their demand is that terminal-guided bombs should not proliferate. As for anti-tank missiles and tank guns, they don't care much about them, and we are not sorry to them.

"As for the Zhengxian-62, my suggestion is to give it to them in exchange for some technology. I have already stated my views on this matter in the last meeting, so I will not repeat them here."

Gao Zhendong's words reminded some comrades who attended the previous meeting that he had agreed to open anti-ship missiles to the Gauls last time.

Moreover, the comrades in the army still remember another thing he said - he could ensure the advancement of anti-ship missiles.

This is enough, it really gives.

"Well, Comrade Zhendong did say that last time, and I think what he said makes sense." said a comrade from the Haizhuang Bureau.

The leader of the Defense Work Committee glanced at him, but was thinking something else in his mind - you are just attracted by what he said about being able to maintain the advanced nature of anti-ship missiles, look at what you said.

But the leader did not expose it: "What about the fighter planes? What do you think?"

Gao Zhendong laughed. "As for the fighter jets, I think it's better to give them the fighter jets, and not sell them, just replace them. But we can't give them the engines. The traces of imitating the northern comrades are too obvious, and they are not suitable. And if they take it, it will be useless without the materials. The Gauls have their own engines, so they can either find a way to install their own engines or buy our engines."

Intellectual property rights, using this as an excuse, I think the Gauls still understand and recognize it. As for the plane itself, even the brains have been replaced, so it is definitely not the same plane.

"Not selling but exchanging? Why?" asked the leader of the Defense Work Committee, and the comrades from the foreign affairs department also became extremely alert.

Everyone is a little curious, isn't it good to do long-term business? What's the point of selling the technology in one fell swoop?
Gao Zhendong smiled cunningly: "Because this thing can't be sold in large quantities. There's no point in selling dozens of them."

When you said this, your comrades were all confused. How do you know they only need dozens of planes?
"Comrade Zhendong, where do you get your information from?" asked the leader of the Defense Work Committee. This kid's brother-in-law is in Hong Kong Island and Olympic City, so maybe he has some inside information.

Gao Zhendong shook his head: "There is no source of information. It is based on the information they disclosed and combined with technical analysis."

There is a source, from the previous life, but I can’t tell you.

Comrades from the Defense Work Committee, the Foreign Affairs Department, and the Air Equipment Bureau looked at each other. They didn't expect that this person was also an intelligence analysis expert? Senior technicians were so terrifying!
"Tell me about it, I'm very curious." The leader of the Defense Work Committee was really curious.

"Let me tell you the conclusion first. They want the Z-7 to be used on aircraft carriers! The total number will not exceed 50!" Gao Zhendong looked like he was in Luoguxiang and had just got off a GAZ truck when answering questions in his previous life. Even the terminology he used was almost the same.

To be honest, there are a lot of good things on Bihu, but there are also a lot of messy things. When Gao Zhendong visited there, he always read with a critical and learning attitude.

When these words were spoken, the whole audience was shocked.

The main reason is that Gao Zhendong's conclusion is too precise. He even stated the purpose, destination and quantity with such certainty. It is really hard to believe that there is no source of information.

"How do you know? Tell me the reason. I'm curious too." Hey, he really needs to explain it clearly, otherwise it will be bad for him, the comrade from the Air Force asked. Gao Zhendong was confident: "Compared with the latest Mirage-7 fighter jets currently available to the Gauls, the Zhan-3 has a major flaw, that is, speed! Therefore, the Gauls, who mainly focus on defense, will not be interested in the Zhan-7."

"Will they be used as attack aircraft?" asked the Air Force comrade.

Gao Zhendong shook his head. "Normally, they won't. They have their own attack aircraft. The Gauls attach great importance to maintaining their own research and development and production systems. The Zhan-7 is indeed better than their Flagship attack aircraft for attack purposes, but it is not enough for the Gauls to give up their own attack aircraft. Unless there is a war, they have to use it, but this condition is unlikely to happen in normal times."

That makes sense. At this time, the comrades even had some respect for the Gauls. These foreigners still knew that having something themselves was more important than having it from your parents.

John Bull: Not necessarily.

"Then why would they use it on an aircraft carrier? They should have their own carrier-based fighters and they can get them from other places as well."

Gao Zhendong shook his head again: "The take-off and landing performance of the Mirage 3 is not convenient for use on aircraft carriers, and their existing carrier-based fighters are outdated. As for obtaining them from outside, they now have only one way - that is the Citigroup's F-8 or F-4..."

Gao Zhendong briefly introduced the situation, advantages and disadvantages of the F-4 and F-8, and then said decisively: "In summary, the only advanced fighter that the Gauls can use on aircraft carriers is the F-8, but I guess they were tricked by the Citigroup because of the establishment of diplomatic relations with us. They may have suspended or detained the F-8 they wanted, so they are in urgent need of a fighter with suitable performance and size..."

The comrades listened attentively. It was rare to be able to analyze things so thoroughly based on public information, and the close combination with technology really brought out his advantages as a top scientific researcher. It sounded very reasonable.

"But the speed of the Z-7 is slower than the F-8, don't they care?" The naval comrades were very excited to hear this, as this was a good opportunity to learn. To be honest, they had never been exposed to this aspect of content.

Although we had pictures of aircraft carriers hung on our walls as early as when we were in the Northwest Base, it took decades before we actually acquired and operated an aircraft carrier.

Now we have the opportunity to listen to the thoughts of scholars of Gao Zhendong's level on aircraft carriers, which is also an opportunity to learn.

Gao Zhendong smiled, a smile that was difficult to express in words, as if he was mocking something: "Because at sea, their strategic imaginary enemy does not have a strong accompanying air force, the 7 Mach speed of the Zhan-1.3 is not a big problem. Apart from the strategic imaginary enemy, they mainly maintain their maritime presence in Africa, which is even less of a problem."

When the comrades from the Navy and the Defense Work Committee heard this, they looked at each other, as if they understood what he was laughing at.

"Yes, that makes sense. I've learned something. Comrade Zhendong, you have done in-depth research on the operation of aircraft carriers." The naval comrades praised him with gleams in their eyes.

Gao Zhendong was shocked. This is not right. It is too early to think about that now!

"Aircraft carriers are still too expensive and the technical requirements are too high. I haven't done much research, so I just analyzed it from the perspective of aircraft."

When the leader of the Defense Work Committee heard his words, he laughed and said, "Comrade Zhendong's good point is that he has a good grasp of the general direction and when to step on the brakes."

Gao Zhendong interrupted him and said, "Based on the above, their idea is to find fighter jets for their aircraft carriers. Considering the number of their aircraft carriers and the number of carrier-based aircraft, we can roughly calculate that there will be no more than 50."

In fact, the F-8s that the Gallics purchased from the Americans were 40 single-seats and 6 two-seats. He said quite a lot.

"No wonder you want to change the technology, but 50 aircraft is not a small number, right?"

Not to mention, 50 fighter jets is already a huge number in terms of arms sales.

Gao Zhendong nodded: "Yes, it is not small, but the benefits it brings are not as great as the technology above!"

He pointed to the meeting materials he had been studying ahead of time, which included a section on an indicative list of technologies that the Gauls were willing to provide.

"What do you want to change?" asked the leader of the Defense Work Committee. Hey, this kid even prepares for a meeting.

Gao Zhendong said without hesitation: "We will use the entire aircraft technology of the Zhan-7 except for the engine to exchange for the delta wing technology of the Gauls Mirage-3. Of course, it would be a bit of a loss to only exchange this, and we need them to add something else."

This made all the comrades laugh. You changed the technology in a piecemeal manner.

"Why not replace the entire Mirage-3?"

"I think a delta wing is enough, the whole aircraft... hehe."
