Chapter 215 Missile Design Completed (Subscription Request)

Having resolved his worries, Mr. Guo felt a lot more relaxed.

Then he said worriedly: "I just wonder if our problem will cause any trouble to those talents who are still in the Eagle Sauce and are planning to return to their country?"

"Don't worry about that." After hearing Mr. Guo's concerns, Mr. Qian waved his hand nonchalantly and comforted him, "Most of those who wanted to return to China have already returned. Those who haven't returned yet probably won't come back. Instead of worrying about these, why not think about how those of us who have returned can better build our country!"

Come to think of it, the Eagle Sauce has been blockading us for six or seven years now. Even those who went abroad to study when the country was just liberated should have graduated by now, and those who wanted to come back should have returned long ago.

As for those who have not returned yet, there is a high probability that they will not come back.

In the original history, the last high tide of Western overseas students returning to China in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China ended this year.

Because during this period, the most influential scientists in Western countries were Mr. Qian and a few others.

Except for those who have made it clear that they will not return, since both of them have been allowed to return by the Eagle Sauce, most of the talents who want to return have already returned.

The next peak of overseas students returning to China will not come until several decades later.

Yang Ning doesn’t care much about whether other people can come back, but he attaches great importance to whether our "Mother of Semiconductors" Ms. Lin can come back.

Because he had already designed the integrated circuit and was just waiting for this person to come back and solve the problem of semiconductor materials.

Although Yang Ning knew that historically Ms. Lin would come to our land at the end of this month, he was still a little worried.

Thinking about the fact that Mr. Qian was also responsible for calling on the talents who stayed in Eagle Sauce to return to China, Yang Ning asked worriedly, "Will the wind tunnel we developed this time affect Ms. Lin's return to China?"

"Ms. Lin?" Mr. Qian was stunned for a moment, then he immediately remembered who Ms. Lin was, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, since our 106 and 107 machines were developed, for the sake of our development in the field of transistor computers, the higher-ups have accelerated negotiations with the Eagles about Ms. Lin's return to China."

"If nothing unexpected happens, she should be home soon."

After hearing what Mr. Qian said, Yang Ning felt relieved.

Even without Ms. Lin, we would eventually be able to develop our own qualified semiconductor materials, but we don’t know how long it would take.

What's more, Ms. Lin not only personally participated in the research and production of semiconductor materials, but also spent 6800 US dollars to bring back finished semiconductor materials this time.

These materials are the latest research results of the United States in the field of semiconductors.

Next, Mr. Qian and Mr. Guo discussed the problems they encountered in their respective research. As a dedicated auxiliary tool, Yang Ning could only check for omissions and calculate data for them.

There was no way. Although Yang Ning had worked very hard to learn aerodynamics before, he still couldn't keep up with the thinking of these two big guys.

I can only say that talent determines the upper limit, while hard work determines the lower limit.

Although Yang Ning can now guarantee that his basic knowledge in the field of aerodynamics is not much worse than those two, he is still far behind them in terms of applying these theoretical knowledge to innovation.

Before leaving, Mr. Qian reminded Yang Ning again: "I will give you the missile design drawings in a few days. Don't forget to deal with them as soon as possible."

It’s no wonder that Mr. Qian attaches so much importance to it. The last simulated nuclear test in the northwest has been completed, and the final model of the nuclear bomb has been sent back to Sijiu City.

In order to ensure that the combination of the two missiles can be completed smoothly, Mr. Qian will need to go to the northwest in person after the missile design is completed.

"Understood. Once the drawings from your side come out, I will deal with it as soon as possible."

Mr. Qian was right. A few days later, Yang Ning got the news that Ms. Lin had set foot on the land.

But at this time, Yang Ning was busy cooperating with Mr. Qian to deal with calculation problems in the design of missiles, and cooperating with Mr. Guo and Academician Yu to improve the research on explosion theory, so he had no time to study anything else.

Yang Ning spent that year's Spring Festival in a busy atmosphere.

During this period, we also reached an agreement with Big Brother on the exchange of wind tunnel technology.

Considering that the air-to-air missile designed by Yang Ning submitted by Mr. Guo before is better than the current big brother technology, and our own ballistic missiles have also entered the final stage.

So on the premise that we gave up these two missile technologies, Big Brother used their current air defense missiles, anti-ship missiles and air-to-ground missile technologies, plus their semiconductor technology and customs assistance to provide us with some technical equipment that we urgently needed, and completed the transaction.

It is precisely because of this transaction that Big Brother noticed our current development and knew that we must be hiding something from them, otherwise we would not have given up the technology of those two missiles.

If it were just that, it would be fine. What worries Big Brother even more is that in this transaction we only want the technology and not the equipment. Does this mean that we are now able to design and manufacture the equipment to produce these missiles ourselves?

If this is true, then doesn't it mean that this little brother's industrial production level is almost catching up with his own?

So, Big Brother once again stepped up its probing of us. Facing this situation, the higher-ups had anticipated it long ago. When we were planning the production of these technologies, we chose the south where Big Brother’s influence was relatively weak. For some core key technologies, we even chose to build research institutes and supporting production plants in the southwest, which is surrounded by mountains.

As for other technologies, they are just deliberately put out there for others to know.

If you don’t check with Big Brother, you won’t know. Once you do, you’ll be shocked.

The mere fact that we put something out there for others to know is enough to make Big Brother very surprised and alert.

Through Big Brother’s investigation, they found that although we are still far behind Big Brother in terms of industrial scale, we seem to be not much different from Big Brother in terms of technological level.

Especially after discovering that we were able to produce CNC machine tools on a small scale, Big Brother became even more wary of us.

Because the technology of CNC machine tools is still under research by Big Brother themselves.

The big brother never expected that while he was still researching his first CNC machine tool, his younger brother was already able to produce small batches.

Combined with the intelligence they got from Eagle Sauce, Big Brother knows too well the importance of CNC machine tool technology to a country's high-precision processing.

This discovery made it even more difficult for Big Brother to attack his intelligence department.

So soon, Big Brother started discussing with us the introduction of CNC machine tools.

But this time, we put forward the principle of only selling and not exchanging.

Although our more advanced transistor CNC machining center has been successfully developed and has begun to be distributed to the confidential unit factory in the southwest, but facing the Big Brother's aggressive and coercive attitude, we still decided to hold back.

Big Brother was also very angry at first, but he considered that he had already had some unpleasantness with us in order to obtain our wind tunnel technology.

In addition, considering that such advanced equipment can only be used in high-end military fields, not many can be purchased, and their own CNC machine tool technology is about to be designed.

So this time, in order to ease the relationship between the two sides, the big brother actually accepted our suggestion after further consideration and imported a batch of CNC machine tools from us.

As for the payment fees, just deduct them from our debt. Anyway, we still owe Big Brother a lot of money. The worst that can happen is that he will just take less minerals and agricultural products from us this year.

After Yang Ning heard the news, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Big Brother is willing to use our industrial products to offset the debt, we will be able to face the difficulties in two years with ease.

This is also the reason why Yang Ning has achieved so many results during this period.

The more achievements we have on our side, the less technology we have to introduce from our big brother.

This way, we will also owe Big Brother less money.

What's more, with the exchange of technology and repayment of industrial products, it will be much easier for us to repay the loan from Big Brother.

In addition, large-scale industrial construction is being carried out all over the country now, so I guess we don’t need to move in such a hurry in the future.

"Catch up with John Bull and surpass the United States? Cut!"

Yang Ning thought disdainfully: "I'm afraid our current industrial capacity has surpassed that of John Bull, which is now on the decline!"

It’s just that because we have been developing for a short time, in some aspects, our industrial technology accumulation is not as good as that of Lord Niu.

As long as we move forward steadily, Yang Ning believes that we can shorten the time it takes to achieve the kind of prosperity that will be seen in future generations by a few years.

In February, under the leadership of Mr. Qian, we finally produced complete drawings of the first missile we designed.

"Hiss, is this the first missile we designed?"

Looking at the missile rendering on the drawing, Yang Ning couldn't help but take a breath.

Although Yang Ning already had some guesses in his mind through the previous parts drawings, he couldn't help but ask in surprise after seeing the renderings that were completely different from the mainstream designs of ballistic missiles in other countries in the world.

The warhead of this missile is in the shape of a pointed cone. If it were not for the lack of an expanded skirt section at the tail, Yang Ning would have thought that this was the early birth of the big brother SS5 Dagger, and we had obtained the design information of this missile.

But when he thought about the fact that Big Brother's dagger would not begin development until next year, Yang Ning threw this absurd idea out of his mind.
