"Tesla, in the future, your main task is to get the computer out, not only to reduce the size, but also to make the function comprehensive, I hope you can create a brain composed of machines." Chen Shao said.

In the past, there was a radar, and Chen Shao also said this to Tesla, that is, to reduce the size of the radar. Now that he has a primary computer, Chen Shao directly pointed out the future development direction for Tesla. Computer.

However, Chen Shao did not say much in this regard, in fact, Chen Shao did not know very well what the computer was like at the beginning of development, in order not to mislead, in order to avoid wrong information, resulting in computer research to a fork in the road. Chen Shao simply gave Tesla a blank piece of paper, with only one frame on it, and the content in the frame needed Tesla to study and fill in.

"Boss, you're optimistic, when has Tesla ever let you down. Give me a few more years, and Tesla will be able to build what you call a computer. Tesla was also made longing by Chen Shao's words. The brain is made up of machines, which is just too challenging.

"Tesla, I sent a message a month ago, and the research has made great progress. Tell me what the situation is. Chen Shao remembered the purpose of coming here today, and he was so surprised by the computer that he almost forgot about his business.

"Here's the thing, we've been able to reduce the size of the radar perfectly, and follow the boss commands, and the radar's performance has not been weakened. Moreover, in terms of fire control radar, there has also been progress in the past two days, mainly with the emergence of computers, and in the case of radar, ballistics can be quickly calculated. To achieve the function of automatic aiming, but this function is still only a theory and requires a lot of experimental data to verify. Tesla said excitedly again.

"How much has it shrunk, can it be loaded on a warship?" Seeing the excited Tesla, Chen Shao was also very happy. This project, which has been studied for many years, is finally seeing the results today. However, it is still uncertain what the specific results of this research will be, but the radar ship has always been what Chen Shao has been looking forward to.

"There is no problem with this at all, not to mention those tens of thousands of tons of large ships, even if they are installed on destroyers, there is no problem." Hearing Chen Shao's words, Tesla hurriedly spoke.

"That's a lot smaller, can it fit on a plane?" Hearing that the radar could be installed on the destroyer, Chen Shao asked again.

In Chen Shao's view, it is a matter of time before the radar goes to the ship, but the radar goes to the plane, which is definitely a breakthrough. You must know that the radar of the Red Alert is not the kind of primary radar of Britain and France during World War II, but a very advanced radar, just by looking at its scanning distance. And in other aspects, the functions are also very powerful, and at the same time, it is found that the number of targets processed is also very large, which is not at all comparable to the processing capacity of dozens of them. In addition, the ability to self-judge is very high, and it is good to distinguish between a creature and a machine.

Radar on board is the first step Chen Shao takes, and the second step is to get on the plane and become an early warning aircraft in the air. Then, Chen Shao also planned to get an early warning aircraft on the ship, because of the relationship between the curve of the earth and the fact that the radar wave is straight, no matter how advanced the radar is, it can only see so far. And this requires the help of early warning aircraft, the first is that he is in the air, can see farther, and can detect the enemy faster than the shipborne radar. Second, once there are AWACS aircraft to follow the warships, it will be easier to search for the enemy's fleet. Mainly because the plane is very fast, and with the help of radar, it does not have to fly far to detect prey far away. However, this requires a ground search radar, and this problem is now difficult for Tesla and others, because the red alert radar itself has the function of ground search.

"There is no way to do it on the plane, and this needs to be further studied." Hearing the radar on the plane, Tesla shook his head very dryly. However, in Tesla's view, it has been reduced a lot, and the most difficult problems have been solved, and there is no big problem in reducing the volume, and it will be much easier.

"This also needs to speed up research, and we must always maintain the advanced level of our technology. In another 20 years, it will be a great time for technology to flourish, and we must seize the time. However, we should not relax our research work on computers in the future. Chen Shao said.

He knows very well that after the end of World War II, the United States has developed in a blowout of various science and technology, although many of these need to be attributed to the accumulation of science and technology during World War II, but Chen Shao does not want China to lose to the United States in the future after 20 years. Of course, Chen Shao will not admit that there will be no room for the United States to exist in this world in 20 years.

Relying on China's scientific and technological development, Chen Shao was not worried about World War II at all. In Chen Shao's view, even if he can't achieve the results of the war, he won't suffer too much. Defeat is absolutely impossible, and Chen Shao will never allow the term defeat to appear in China.

"No problem, there's a lot in common anyway. The radar itself has its own computer, and in the past, it was all to overcome how to shrink the display instruments of the radar, but now this problem is relatively easy to solve. Tesla said confidently.

"How is the radar production line, can we produce it ourselves? Don't need to modify it at that time, that's so troublesome. Chen Shao thought for a while and asked.

"This still needs a period of debugging, mainly for the centralized use of integrated circuit boards, and the previously proposed production line needs to be modified and debugged. As long as the commissioning is completed, one or two experiments will be conducted in the trial production, and the energy will soon be produced. Tesla said.

"We produce it ourselves, will it affect the original function of the radar." Chen Shao asked something he was very interested in.

"No, because nothing has changed, we just produce the parts and assemble them ourselves, which is actually the same as the radar itself." Tesla said.

Chen Shao was curious about this problem, but he didn't care very much, because as long as the radar of the red alert can be reduced, the radar built in the future can also be reduced in size. If it will affect the function of the radar, then it can only be built with the Red Alert base in the future, and it will be much cheaper.

The radar itself is the ears and eyes, which in Chen Shao's view, is only the basic function of the radar. A real radar must be able to provide early warning and fire control and aiming, and in the future, it will evolve into a missile guidance target. Moreover, in the future, for the sake of satellites, it can also be built into a three-dimensional alert system for air, space and sea.

However, these are still a little far from Chen Shao, and now as long as they are one step closer, it will be good to get the early warning aircraft out. For the first AWACS aircraft to appear in the Soviet Union during World War II, Chen Shao is still very vigilant in this regard. Although the Soviet radar was very backward, he did not want to be overtaken by the Soviet Union, and the first AWACS aircraft had to appear in China first.

"Take me to see what the downsized radar looks like." Chen Shaodao.

"Boss, follow me." Tesla walked out after saying that.

After following Tesla out, I saw the team of students who were immersed in experiments under the guidance of scientists, (students refer to students who came to the laboratory as students, not that their identities are students) Chen Shao opened his mouth and asked Tesla next to him: "How is the learning situation of those students outside?" ”

"It's very good, they're all very serious, and you can see that each of them loves science very much." Tesla also saw the busy students and nodded in satisfaction. Although Tesla is in charge here, he doesn't manage too many things, and it would be better for him to have time to do two more experiments. However, he has always paid close attention to these students, mainly because he saw his shadow in these students. The same thirst for learning, the same seriousness in learning.

"These students are the hope of our future scientific and technological development, they study hard, and you should also teach seriously. Some experimental projects that are not very demanding can be called hands-on. In this way, it will be faster to learn, after all, you also pay attention to science and practice. Chen Shao said. In fact, seeing these students, Chen Shao was a little embarrassed, in his previous life, Chen Shao was not very serious about studying. When I came to this world, in addition to learning a little bit about history, if it weren't for the help of the Red Police, I wouldn't know if I was still there. Maybe one day he will die at the hands of the bandits, or he will be dragged to serve as a soldier. Even if he survives, maybe he will spend his life in this world in mediocrity.

Tesla nodded, he agreed with Chen Shao's words very much, and said: "We have been doing this all along, and many experiments that are not very important are entrusted to them." They have a quick grasp of these things, and now many students are able to take on many scientific research tasks, which also greatly reduces our workload. ”

The two chatted and walked, and soon came to a place where the warehouse looked like. After showing their ID to the guard guarding the door, the two walked in together.

After entering the warehouse, Tesla directly led Chen Shao to a place with a height of two or three meters. However, the object in front of him was covered by a large cloth, and from the outside, it was impossible to see what it was.

When Tesla pulled open the large cloth covering it, a large round cauldron appeared in front of Chen Shao's eyes. This cauldron seems to be not small, but it is at least three times smaller than the radar produced by the Red Alert base. It has shrunk several times all at once, and it is indeed not easy.

A lot of wires were pulled out from under the cauldron and connected to a row of monitors on the side. This is the structure of the reduced radar, and like the Red Alert radar, this radar can also rotate, not the fixed radars of World War II, which can only look in one direction. And this radar can look in which direction as long as it turns. Although the speed of rotation is not very fast, it is competent enough.

And once the radar is on the ship, rotation is necessary, otherwise, there will be more blind spots that the radar cannot see, and the effect will be greatly reduced.

Now, Chen Shao is satisfied, and with the radar, the combat effectiveness of the fleet will also be greatly improved.
