Chapter 119: Wireless Communication Technology, Radar Technology

"Am I not just the type most easily weeded out?" Jia Dongxu said with a bitter smile,

"A small bench worker, average skills, no special talents. In the past, Yi Zhonghai could at least put in a good word for me, but now that the son of a bitch is gone, I'm just a transparent person in the factory."

Mentioning Yi Zhonghai, the couple both fell silent.

"That Li Mingyuan..." Qin Huairu started to say, then stopped.

"Don't mention him!" Jia Dongxu said bitterly, "Ever since he came to the Siheyuan, our family hasn't had a single good day. Now that he's becoming more and more powerful, who dares to provoke him?"

As the two were talking, Liu Haizhong's voice came from the courtyard: "Is Dongxu home?"

Jia Dongxu got up to open the door, and Liu Haizhong rushed in, drenched in sweat: "Have you heard? About that machine thing!"

"I heard," Jia Dongxu said with a bitter smile, "It seems the news has already spread throughout the factory."

Liu Haizhong plopped down onto a chair, took the tea Qin Huairu handed him, and gulped it down:

"It's over, this time it's really over. After all these years, now that this has happened, the factory will definitely downsize, and we're surely going to be the first to go!"

"Who's to say it isn't so," Jia Dongxu nodded,

"He's trying to cut off our livelihood!" Liu Haizhong gritted his teeth, "I saw long ago that this kid wasn't simple; we shouldn't have let him move into the Siheyuan in the first place!"

"Forget it," Jia Dongxu scoffed, "What's the use of saying that now? He's the hot commodity now; even the leaders have to give him some face. Who do we think we are?"

Liu Haizhong recalled the scene in the courtyard a few days ago, with so many big shots coming to pay New Year's greetings to Li Mingyuan, and how he himself had kept fawning over him; thinking about it now, he felt both hatred and fear.

Liu Haizhong's eyes rolled: "How about we..."

"Stop!" Jia Dongxu said sternly, "Don't get any crazy ideas. You don't know, Li Mingyuan's status in the factory now is more than the Factory Director himself. If you provoke him, never mind losing your job, I'm afraid you'd lose your life."

Liu Haizhong shrank his neck and didn't dare to say anything more.

The night was deep, but the fear and unease in the Siheyuan had only just begun to spread.

At the same time, Li Mingyuan's laboratory was brightly lit.

"How is the progress on the transformation of the first production line?" Li Mingyuan asked.

Li Shouzheng reported excitedly: "Three days ahead of schedule! According to your blueprints, we have completed the basic modifications for all the machine tools; we are just waiting for the control system to be installed to put them into use."

"What about the control system?"

"Zhang Shifu from B Group says that in two more days, the assembly and debugging of all twenty control boxes will be completed."

Li Mingyuan nodded with satisfaction: "Very good. At this speed, the one-month goal will definitely be achieved. You all continue to follow up; report any problems at any time."

After Li Shouzheng and the others left, Li Mingyuan let out a long breath; he could finally relax.

With these capable assistants, the transformation work of the Numerical Control Machine Tool was already on the right track, and he could finally free up his hands to prepare for the next project.

From the system, he opened a box; this was the treasure he had brought back from the polar bear country—various technical materials, and from within, he found the Transistor Technology.

In this Long Country where even Vacuum Tubes were hard to produce, Transistor Technology was practically black technology.

"Computer..." Li Mingyuan flipped through the materials, his eyes flashing with excitement, "This is the true sharp weapon that changes the world."

In later generations, the development of computers went through several key stages:

The first generation Vacuum Tube Computer, the second generation Transistor Computer, the third generation Integrated Circuit computer, all the way to the later Large Scale Integrated Circuit and Quantum Computer.

But in the current Long Country, even the first generation computer was still in the laboratory stage.

"If I can directly develop the second generation Transistor Computer, it can at least put Long Country's computer technology at the forefront of the world ten years early." Li Mingyuan's fingers lightly brushed over those complex circuit diagrams, calculating silently in his heart.

However, when he delved into these technical materials, he discovered that he was facing a huge challenge.

【Insight Value insufficient, unable to comprehend "Transistor Computer", it is recommended to improve relevant basic knowledge】

"These theories of microelectronics... are too profound; my background knowledge is not enough." Li Mingyuan rubbed his Taiyang, feeling a headache.

Although he had received a good engineering education in modern society, there was still a long way to go to fully understand and realize the manufacturing of a transistor computer.

The system's prompt flashed in his mind, and Li Mingyuan smiled bitterly.

"It seems I have to proceed step by step and not be overly ambitious." He muttered to himself,

"Starting with basic radio and Radar Technology to prepare for the Guidance System of the rocket launcher—that is the top priority."

Adjusting his plan, Li Mingyuan took out the two books "Basic Wireless Communication" and "Introduction to Radar Technology"; these were the technical materials he had specifically brought back from Mocheng.

Compared to Transistor Technology, these two technologies were more mature and easier to realize under existing conditions.

"A guided rocket launcher is the true sharp weapon that changes the battlefield landscape." Li Mingyuan muttered to himself, "With precision guidance, the lethality of conventional weapons can be increased by more than ten times."

He studied these two books all night, and as his understanding of the content deepened, the knowledge points in his mind gradually connected into a clear system.

【Insight Value sufficient, "Heaven-defying Insight" talent triggered】

【Obtained "Primary Wireless Communication Technology"】

【Obtained "Primary Radar Technology"】

When the first ray of morning light shone into the laboratory through the window, Li Mingyuan's eyes flashed with excitement.

He felt as if he had opened up his Ren and Du meridians, gaining a brand-new understanding of radio and Radar Technology.

"With these two technologies, combined with the precision control capability of the Numerical Control System, a guided rocket launcher is just around the corner." Li Mingyuan stood up and stretched.

He loosened his neck, which had become stiff from studying all night.

Outside the window, the morning light was already dim, and the early shift workers of the Rolling Mill were entering the factory one after another; the roar of machines began to rise one after another.

"What a wonderful feeling..." He whispered to himself, the various electromagnetic wave theories and Radar System operating principles in his mind appearing as if they had come to life, clear and distinct.

He walked to the small blackboard on the wall and picked up a piece of chalk to start drawing rapidly. The chalk rustled on the blackboard, and in less than ten minutes, a design drawing of a simple Radar System appeared on the board.

"Primary Pulse Radar System..." Li Mingyuan stepped back a few paces, examining his masterpiece with satisfaction,

"Single antenna for transmission and reception, scanning angle of 120 degrees, detection distance is limited, but enough to monitor large aircraft formations approaching at high altitude."

However, simple radar detection could only discover enemy planes; to strike accurately, a complete target positioning system was still needed.

"In this era without satellites and without computers, the most feasible plan to achieve precision guidance is..." Li Mingyuan picked up the chalk again and quickly drew a triangle on the blank space of the blackboard, marking a point at each of the three corners,

"Triangulation!"
