The topic that chips cannot carry the bombardment of nuclear bombs has long been a cliché.

The development of the Soviet Union's electronic system has always lagged behind the Western world, so there is a fairly common saying that the Soviet Union's electronic system is backward, and the biggest problem is that the Soviets took the road of electron tubes, while the West took the road of transistors and integrated circuits, so the Soviets went in the wrong direction.

There is some truth to this, for example, in 1953, when the first hearing aid with transistors was put on the market, the Soviets started a discussion.

At that time, the Deputy Minister of Defense of the USSR, Academician of the USSR Academy of Sciences Berg, and others believed that transistors were the future development direction of the electronics industry; However, several academicians of the USSR Academy of Sciences, an authority on semiconductors in the USSR, were opposed to the direction of the industrialization of transistors.

At that time, one of their ideas was that transistors could not carry electromagnetic pulses, and at that time, electron tubes had begun to be miniaturized, and Soviet satellites were also carrying electron tubes in the sky.

There are a lot of problems in this, some are academic disagreements, more are departmental interests, in short, and then there is a "transistor will never become a useful thing, at best it will be a hearing aid, let the social security institutions do it!" Conclusion.

But in fact, it is impossible to say that the Soviet Union did not have transistors and integrated circuits, and the Soviet Union wanted to compete with the Americans for hegemony at that time, and what the United States had, they wanted to have, and in the Soviet Union, there was still a first-class microelectronics industry, and the computers in the Soviet Union could still use tubes?

No matter how miniaturized the tube is, it is not as good as the integrated circuit, and the use of the tube as a processing system can only be huge, cumbersome, high power consumption and low function, so the integrated circuit will definitely become the mainstream.

As for what kind of nuclear explosion environment, the ability to carry the electromagnetic pulse is weak, etc., these are not big problems, after all, the chip is also engaged in a special shielding layer to fight, and once a nuclear war really breaks out, whether it is an electron tube or an integrated circuit, there is no advantage, to that extent, it will become the lowest, and it will even eventually enter the war in the era of cold weapons.

What we have to fight now is a conventional war, and if we hold on to a nuclear war and do not let go at any time, we will definitely go astray.

Qin Zhenhua is here to insist, modern ground weapons are absolutely inseparable from advanced electronic technology, he will definitely not design chips, make chips, he must be able to use them, and they must use them well!

The time has entered May 1986, the weather in the capital has begun to become a little hot, the outside knows are constantly shouting, and the preparatory meeting site of the 8*910 project in the capital has also become lively.

"Director Zhao, Assistant Qin, we haven't seen each other for a long time." When I walked through the gate, several people came from the other direction and immediately greeted them warmly.

Opposite is the people of the Iron Horse Factory! This group of them, with smiles on their faces, is quite warm and friendly, and they can't see any ghosts in their hearts, but in fact, what they have done, their hearts are clear, this time to have a meeting, it can be said that the two sides are definitely competitors.

"Director Liu, it's been a long time." Zhao Guodong stretched out his hand, last year, the old director of the Shancheng Iron Horse Factory retired, and Liu Tiande, who was in charge of technology research and development, became the new director of the Iron Horse Factory.

The Iron Horse Factory has always regarded the No. 1 Machine Factory as the goal of catching up and surpassing, and now, the two sides are also very repetitive in the research and development of weapons and equipment.

For example, in recent years, the Iron Horse Factory has been working on 122 mm self-propelled howitzers, using the chassis of their own Type 77 armored vehicles to change, and now it has achieved great success.

They originally thought that their project would become the focus, but they were suddenly stolen the limelight by a machine factory, and the unhappiness in their hearts can be imagined.

Of course, if it's not happy, they're not afraid, anyway, isn't the chassis used a Mercedes-Benz heavy truck? The Iron Horse Factory itself also produces Mercedes-Benz heavy trucks, and when the time comes, they will be able to launch the same type of products after surveying and imitating.

Anyway, this is already done on wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, what are you afraid of?

It can be seen that many of the weapons in the two factories are overlapping or similar, so they are destined to be a competitive relationship.

"What good things did you bring with you from the Iron Horse Factory this time?" Zhao Guodong asked knowingly.

"Well..." Liu Tiande wanted to excuse himself, but before the words could be spoken, Qin Zhenhua on the side spoke.

"Our Iron Horse Factory, the main product is amphibious tanks." Qin Zhenhua said: "This 8*910 project, there must also be a Navy product exhibition, I guess, they must have prepared the improved model of the 63 tank, isn't it, Director Liu?" ”

You, you're digging a hole for us.

When Liu Tiande heard this, he was a little annoyed in his heart.

Don't you know what we have? However, you don't talk about these, but what about the equipment of the Navy, what about the Type 63 amphibious tank!

That's right, after the establishment of the Iron Horse Factory, the main model produced was this amphibious tank, but it was a niche after all! There are only orders from the Marine Corps, so how many can there be? It is necessary to compete for the main equipment, so that great development can be achieved!

Why did they decide to build their own Mercedes-Benz heavy truck after being stimulated by foreign countries? Didn't you see the wider adaptability of this equipment?

Navy, Army, and even Air Force, military, civilian, after this kind of heavy truck is built, there will definitely be a steady stream of orders!

That's what they're looking at.

But what? They worked hard for several years, and it was not until last year that the Iron Horse XC2030 produced by the Iron Horse Factory, that is, the imitation version of the Mercedes-Benz NG73, was considered to be mature, but in the same year, the Mercedes-Benz heavy truck of a machine factory also began to roll off the assembly line! Compared with the two, the Mercedes-Benz original standard heavy truck is naturally more in line with the psychological standards of the army.

Why did the mapping copy their wheeled armored vehicles? Isn't it also holding back the fire in this regard, now, the other party doesn't mention these things, why mention the 63 amphibious tank?

Although there was a fire in his heart, he naturally couldn't say it, Liu Tiande squeezed out a smile and said, "So, Assistant Qin will tell us, how to change the 63 tank?" ”
