Siheyuan: I eat melons while doing scientific research

Chapter 1189 "How to Design..." (One more chapter after 12 o'clock)

In response to Gao Zhendong's reminder, the comrades had no time to ask questions and could only take notes.

Where there are advantages, there are disadvantages, this is inevitable. For example, the only disadvantage of some equipment is that it is expensive.

No matter what, the important thing is to write it down first.

For them, every time they come to Gao Zhendong, they can always learn something new, and it is not even limited to the issues they care about most.

For example, this time, they will receive a big surprise soon, a super big one.

Seeing that the comrades had almost finished recording, Gao Zhendong smiled and said, "As for the rest, the comrades just mentioned a lot of technical difficulties and key points. You are all right about these things. However, these things have a characteristic. Although they are not as troublesome as the pulse isolator just now, they are widely distributed and have many details. It is not easy to explain them clearly at the moment. Moreover, they are too deeply involved with specific missiles, so I can't explain them clearly to you."

Some comrades from the Institute of Guidance and Research began to pack up their things. They were very clear about what Gao Zhendong had just said and knew it was the fact.

The next problems can only be discovered at work, until you encounter a real problem that you and your team cannot solve, then you can look for a senior consultant to solve it.

Although he may not be able to solve all problems, at least his thinking is much broader than that of his group of people.

However, Gao Zhendong's next words made them almost unable to believe their ears.

"But in my spare time, I have also summarized some things in the design of rocket engines through computer assistance and simulation. I will send them to the National Defense Work Committee later. You can go to the National Defense Work Committee to ask for them."

Chief Engineer Gao himself summarized a set of relevant results of rocket engine design? The comrades of the Institute of Research and Development were overjoyed and wanted to get it right away. Except that Advisor Gao's "in his spare time" sounded a bit hard to accept.

However, it is obvious that their idea cannot be realized for the time being. This set of things is still a bit too important. Even someone like Gao Zhendong who does not take technology seriously has to pay some attention to it. It may be inappropriate to hand it over directly to the comrades in the Research Institute.

A young comrade said with a smile: "Counselor Gao, why do you have to make the trip yourself? We can just take it over for you."

The heart is good, that is...

The chief designer of the long-range air-to-air missile model reached out and slapped him on the head: "You are confused! Did you take the wrong medicine?"

The comrade touched his head, his face flushed as if he had figured something out.

Gao Zhendong laughed and said, "Thank you, but I have to go to the National Defense Work Committee anyway, so I'll just take it with me."

Naturally, he would not go to the Defense Work Committee specifically for this matter. This could be regarded as giving the young comrades a way out and easing the situation.

After his comrades left, Gao Zhendong took out a set of materials that he had modified in his spare time from the drawer and put them in a pocket, attached a few disks, and then sealed the pocket.

This book doesn't have a lot of text, it takes up about two disks, but it has a lot of pictures and tables, and pictures are more storage intensive. Fortunately, there is now an industrial design software that has been developed in cooperation with Gaolu. For Gao Zhendong, whether he does industrial design or not is not a big deal, at least this software can draw vector graphics, which is much more useful than bitmaps for most of his achievements.

At least the dimensions are accurate and the capacity is small.

He made a phone call to the confidential office of the Third Factory and said to the comrades who came over: "Send this set of things to the Defense Work Committee. Be careful not to let anything go wrong!"

The comrade took the sealed bag, saluted, and turned to leave.

Not long after, two GAZ-69s and a Jiefang truck drove out of the Third Factory and headed straight for the Defense Working Committee.

An hour later, the leader of the Defense Work Committee and the chief engineer sat together and looked at the pile of things in front of them. Their expressions changed and became very complicated.

There is joy, surprise, confusion, and even... a little bit of heartache?

——"How to Design a Solid Rocket Engine".

"How could he come up with such a thing without anyone noticing?" The leader of the Defense Work Committee sighed as he flipped through the documents.

In fact, it's not that he did it secretly. Gao Zhendong had this thing for a long time, which might be several years.

It's just that the time is ripe now and it can be brought out.

Before that, it was all sporadic, and he would ask for whatever people asked, treating the headaches and foot pains.

Now, the application of solid rocket engines has become more and more widespread, and the objects of application are becoming more and more important. Gao Zhendong has done a lot in this regard. It's time. Any further delay will delay things. The chief engineer looked at the catalog very carefully: "Look, it's very complete. These are all simulated and calculated by him on the computer?"

The leader smiled and said, "That should be the case. When it comes to computer application, he should be the one with the most ideas and the most ease in using it. In his hands, computers can really play a different role than others."

As for computers, they had witnessed Gao Zhendong play around with them and push them to the current global peak.

"Do you think the same as I do?" asked the chief engineer.

The leader nodded and said, "Yes, I was thinking, no wonder he used solids as the main force against ballistic missiles, and liquids were only used as a backup. It turns out that he had already thought of how to provide a backup for solids in terms of details."

Laser gyroscopes, star navigation, GAP propellants, pyrolytic graphite, and now this book.

What is commendable here is that not only has a lot of research been done on the design of small tactical missiles with fixed launch engines, but people have also been busy with large-diameter and high-thrust missiles. They have even done some research on things like swinging nozzles, which our current comrades have never thought about.

I'm not going to say that we can directly build a very advanced engine. After all, the research content here is more theoretical, but there is no problem in getting the work started.

At least we won't be working from a blank slate.

"Send a paper copy of this stuff to the desert. As for the rest... electronic files are not allowed to be borrowed in principle. If comrades from other units want to study, let them come and borrow the paper version themselves. And as for the paper version, in principle, they are not allowed to leave the archives room of the Defense Work Committee. Just read it here. If you are interested in the content, copy it yourself!" the leader said to the chief engineer.

Strict management is no problem, but there is a small question: "How do other comrades know if there is anything they are interested in?"

The leader laughed and said, "This is easy. Just give a catalog to the comrades doing related work. Hahahaha."

The chief engineer smiled and said, "Well, you know what, this is a good idea. A leader is a leader."

Not long after, the comrades from the Institute of Research, who had received the news from Gao Zhendong and had been eagerly looking forward to this thing, looked at the scientific and technological intelligence bulletin issued by the Defense Work Committee with their eyes shining.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, boss, what a sweetheart, what a sweetheart! It's really different when the senior consultant takes action!" The person in charge of the rocket engine subsystem cursed crazily, using the C language to the maximum.

For them, who can only cross the river by feeling the stones and take one step at a time, the appearance of this thing is like a long-awaited rain.

For them, the importance of this thing cannot be overstated.

How backward were our solid rocket engines in the past? Take the first generation of ship-to-air missiles, which are now destined to disappear in the long river of history, for example. They were finalized in 1984, with a length of 4 meters and a range of 10 kilometers. The Standard 1967 mass-produced by the Americans in 1 was about 4.3 meters long and had a range of 30 kilometers.

Although the Standard 1 is a little longer and weighs twice as much as the first-generation ship-to-air missile, the time of finalization and the range are still very telling.

Compared to the past when they could only grope their way to solve problems and completely lacked preliminary theoretical guidance, the table of contents of this book is pleasing to the eye.

"Overall design, charge design, combustion chamber design, nozzle design, ignition device design..."

This level of directory alone is very telling.

This set of information, or this book, already covers all the contents of designing a solid rocket engine. It is extremely detailed, with dozens of second and third level directories in each chapter. This made them delighted, but also raised a question.

So there are so many different ways to design a rocket engine? There are so many different branches, schemes, and technologies involved?
Even for them, just seeing the second and third level directories is already a form of learning. With just the little bit of understanding from the few words in the titles of the second and third level directories, they can even modify their current rocket engines.

This is why Gao Zhendong dared not release this set of things too early. It is too detailed! Too in-depth! Without sufficient preparation, it is impossible to explain.

"Come on, come on, get your meal ticket!" Another comrade who was also in charge of tactical missile rocket engines was as excited as the comrades in charge of air-to-air rocket engines.

"What do you want the meal ticket for?" The latter looked confused.

"What? During this period of time, I will live in the archives of the National Defense Committee and won't leave! If I don't bring some meal tickets with me, what will I do?"

"Oh, yes, yes! You're right. Wait, I need to pack some thick clothes!" It's late December now and it's very cold. The Fire Prevention Committee is not without a fire, but a place like the archive room may not have a fire for fire prevention.

The notice from the National Defense Committee clearly stated that you can look at the information, but the information itself is not allowed to leave the archives!
Comrades in ordinary units have to try their best to get this thing, but it is much more convenient in the desert.

The next morning, the comrades in the desert looked at the complete set of materials that had just been airlifted in, their eyes full of excitement, and they felt like they were about to fall asleep and find their pillows!
