Genius is just the threshold for me!

"Dongdong, do you think there's been any news about Uncle Wang?"

At 11:30 a.m., Lin Dong and Xu Qingling drew the soundproof curtains in the living room and snuggled together on the sofa to watch a variety show.

At this moment, Xu Qingling leaned slightly against Lin Dong, peeled a golden autumn tangerine, removed the white pith, and held it to Lin Dong's lips, asking about Wang Xingguo.

"That's about enough."

Lin Dong opened his mouth to take the orange Xu Qingling handed him, took a bite and felt the sweet taste spread in his mouth. He glanced at the time and said, "The meeting is at ten o'clock. Let's have a bit of a fuss, make a scene, and then talk it over afterwards. We should have a pretty good result by then."

Important matters are discussed in small meetings, while minor matters are discussed in large meetings.

Large-scale meetings like these are mostly used for arguing, calming emotions, and going through the motions to set a basic tone.

As for the final direction, how to arrange personnel, how to proceed with the project, and how to solve problems, these are all decided in small meetings before or after the event.

"Xiao Dong, aren't you going home for lunch?"

Xu Ziming was tending to his two potted plants not far away. He was squatting on the ground with some soil still on his fingers. When he saw Lin Dong asking Xu Qingling to peel oranges for him, he frowned and said irritably, "It's 11:30. It's almost 12 o'clock."

"My mom has to work overtime in the logistics department, and my dad has an online meeting with the National University of Defense Technology that needs to be prepared in advance... Aunt Zhou asked me to come over for dinner."

Lin Dong replied, then looked at the plants in front of Xu Ziming that seemed to have been bought recently, and asked curiously, "Uncle Xu, aren't you a fisherman? Why are you growing plants now?"

He remembered that growing flowers and plants was one of Comrade Lin Weiliang's hobbies in his middle age.

Xu Ziming's hobby has always been fishing. He focuses on his profession and job, and apart from two potted green plants, there are no other potted plants in his home.

"..."

Xu Ziming glared at Lin Dong, remained silent for two seconds, then turned away and ignored him.

"puff……"

Xu Qingling couldn't help but chuckle, explaining softly, "Dad's been quite busy lately, with his studies, so he hasn't had time to go fishing. Besides, he's worried about spies going out..."

"Uh! Okay..."

Lin Dong nodded awkwardly.

In its previous life, Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group (CAC) was seen by the enemy as having nothing but the J-10 fighter jet series, the J-20 fighter jet series, and the WZ-8 reconnaissance aircraft.

There was nothing like now, with electronic warfare aircraft, heavy bombers, and even the J-1 fighter jet that shot down the Blitzkrieg. They've also been working on the Emei project, including engines, lithium batteries, and new materials.

Therefore, the potential espionage risks in this life are almost on a completely different level compared to the previous life.

In his previous life, Xu Ziming and others could often go fishing, but in this life, the security preparations for going out are much more complicated, and they try to go out as little as possible unless necessary.

As for studying.

Because of the recent production and assembly of the Hot No. 5, Xu Ziming's learning tasks are not heavy, so it is definitely not a priority.

Ding-dong! Ding-dong—

At this moment, Lin Dong's secure phone, which was placed in front of him, kept ringing, and several messages popped up in succession.

【001】: The battle went very smoothly. One person suppressed the entire field. None of the companies, including China Electronics Technology Group Corporation, China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation, and China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, could fight him.

[001]: I thought these guys in the military would apply for funding to equip the Hot Air Force 5, but I didn't expect them to back down when they heard it was 12 billion.

[001]: The exoskeleton powered armor is about to begin mass production and deployment. Those idiots in the military have already allocated the quotas. Also, please provide the core algorithm for laser air defense interception when you have time. The remaining specific air defense system technology is not very advanced, so let AVIC Science & Technology handle it...

【001】: Also, the leaders and headquarters said that a military parade will be held next year, but the equipment has changed a lot in recent years. They asked us to compile statistics on Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group's equipment during this period and discuss and analyze with the think tank in our spare time which ones can be displayed.

"A military parade is planned for next year?"

Xu Qingling saw the message on Lin Dong's unlocked phone and exclaimed in surprise, "And Uncle Wang... He single-handedly controlled the whole scene? Really?"

"Always believe in my godfather's acting skills and his ability to show off." Lin Dong couldn't help but smile.

He can act, pretend, and handle things; he can fly fighter jets and conduct research and development. He is one of the top three figures in China's aviation industry. Except for the fact that his doctorate in engine science, which he obtained while pursuing his godmother, was a bit of a stretch, Wang Xingguo is absolutely the 001 chief engineer of Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group.

"A military parade next year?"

Hearing their conversation, Xu Ziming straightened up, dusted off his hands, and walked over to ask, "Did your godfather say that?"

"They said it was the leadership's plan, and they asked us to compile statistics and analyze which equipment to take out during this period."

Lin Dong explained simply, "However, the specifics are not yet confirmed."

He must have known about the Victory Day parades in 2014 and 2015, but he didn't expect that this matter would be planned and considered a year in advance.

"The leadership plan is pretty much finalized, but now it's time to flex our muscles and safeguard the development of the industry."

Xu Ziming nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Lin Dong's phone and asked, "How do you design that ground-based laser missile interception system that your godfather reported? The ground atmosphere causes significant laser attenuation, right? Controlling large lasers is very difficult."

"The attenuation is significant. To effectively intercept small and medium-sized missiles and drones, you would need approximately 100 kilowatts, and to intercept ballistic missiles, you would need 800 kilowatts..."

Lin Dong nodded: "We'll use a 10-kilowatt laser to make an array. A 10-kilowatt laser pointer weighs only 10 kilograms, and the control scheme is already very stable."

"Laser array...multi-point concentrated fire?"

Xu Ziming was taken aback for a moment, then understood Lin Dong's plan. He frowned and said, "The missile will change course in the terminal phase, and its trajectory is not fixed. Can the control response be that precise?"

"The control response is fine."

Lin Dong smiled and said, "When HotSpicy No. 5 shot down the second satellite, it only took 3.12 seconds from aiming and locking to firing and hitting the target. As long as the early warning radar can detect the target 5 seconds in advance, it is enough to complete the control and interception response."

Modern ballistic missiles, even those with the shortest range, can be detected several minutes in advance, while intercontinental ballistic missiles can be detected more than ten minutes in advance.

The challenge here lies in the coordinated fire of multiple lasers. Because when striking the same target, lasers in different positions need to move at different angles, the aiming and coordination accuracy requirements are very high. However, with more experimentation, the algorithm can also solve this problem.

Based on the real-world data from HotSpot 5, it is no problem to precisely control 100 laser units to form a megawatt-level laser array.

However, this type of laser array is not without its drawbacks. It can only be deployed in a fixed location on the ground to protect important cities and bases, and cannot be freely deployed on vehicles…

The development of laser weapons is strictly constrained by the availability of materials.

Even ten years from now, vehicle-mounted laser weapons will only be able to target small drones.

As for laser interceptor missiles, they can only be shipborne equipment that burns the missile's guidance head to blind it, rather than destroying it.

Even he can only rely on powerful algorithms to use roundabout methods like array-based concentrated fire to carry out fixed destruction and interception.

"It's ready!"

Xu Ziming nodded: "If vehicle-mounted deployments can intercept missiles, it means that laser weapons have achieved lightweight and miniaturization... It's like slapping the Americans in the face, and they won't dare to say a word."

"That's true."

Lin Dong chuckled softly.

The miniaturization and lightweighting of lasers can also be understood from another perspective as allowing for extremely high power output, enabling them to be deployed directly from the ground into space.

At that time, the entire country will become an absolute no-go zone for missiles, and the global nuclear deterrence will be instantly out of balance... meaning I can deter you, but you cannot deter me.

"Xiao Dong, Zi Ming, Ling Ling, wash your hands and eat..."

At this moment, Zhou Xiaoyan, wearing an apron, came out of the kitchen with a plate of food and called out to the people in the living room.

"Yay, dinner's ready!"

Xu Qingling cheered and immediately jumped up and ran over to wash her hands.

"Remember to organize the parade equipment when you have time..."

Xu Ziming seemed to have thought of something at this moment, and looking at Lin Dong, who was almost as tall as him when he stood up, he said, "You're in your final year of junior high now, and you'll be going to high school next year. If you don't understand anything about industrial development or top-level planning, it's inconvenient to call. You can email the leaders and chat with them while you're at it. Don't always wait for them to call you when they have time..."

"No, Uncle Xu..."

Lin Dong opened his eyes wide and looked at Xu Ziming, saying, "You're a lazy bum yourself, don't try to push me!"

"I now go to get off work and leave work on time every day, working eight hours a day and then one hour overtime..."

Upon hearing this, Xu Ziming reached out and slapped Lin Dong, then confidently retorted, "Did I eat salted fish?"

"Then I'll work eight hours a day starting tomorrow..." Lin Dong quickly raised his hand to answer.

"..."

Xu Ziming paused for a moment, then changed the subject impatiently, saying, "Wash your hands and eat. After you finish eating, go back to your house for a nap."
