Chapter 208 Combined Brigade? Training Base?

"This is a good suggestion. After we return to Beijing, we will coordinate with the transportation department." The leader said solemnly.

The transportation network needs to consider its military role from the beginning. After all, troop transportation needs to go through the transportation network so that it can be delivered to the battlefield as quickly as possible.

In the past, this aspect was inevitably overlooked.

What was considered before was more about the transportation of infantry and supplies.

Who would have thought about such a big thing as a heavy tank!

As for the Type 59 tank, it was actually not that urgent for roads before, because the Type 59 tank is not heavy, it is just a medium-sized tank.

The total weight of the Type 59 tank is only 34 tons!

But the Type 80 main battle tank is different, it is much heavier.

"Director Liu, what about the computer revolution and informatization that you mentioned before? Please take a look at this aspect." A leader asked.

"In terms of computers, both the United States and the Soviet Union have made great progress. According to the last meeting between Mr. Huo Yingdong and I, the United States has made great progress in personal computers." Liu Tao said: "In 1971, Intel 4004 Micro When the processor was officially released, the 4004 contained more than 2,000 transistors. This single chip had almost the same computing power as the ENIAC, the world's first electronic computer, which came out in 1954. In 1974, Intel designed a more powerful microprocessor - —8080, the 8080 microprocessor gave birth to a series of new application scenarios and also gave birth to personal computers.”

"The Altair 8800 manufactured by 1TS Company came out, priced at US$397, and caused a huge sensation in the United States. Its advent not only triggered technological innovation, but also triggered social changes." Liu Tao explained, "In recent years, the United States has Several personal computer manufacturers have appeared, and the performance and computing power of personal computers are now very powerful. There are at least hundreds of thousands of personal computers in the United States. "

"Our Panshan Machinery Factory cooperates with Mr. Huo Yingdong. Our Panshan Machinery Factory has established a computer manufacturing plant in Pengcheng. It is expected to start production next month. The performance of the personal computers produced has also reached the world's advanced level. It is foreseeable that personal computers will It will trigger great changes in the military field." Liu Tao's words were full of affirmation.

The leader asked doubtfully: "Your Panshan Machinery Factory also develops computers? Can it still reach the world's advanced level?"

The development of computers in China can be traced back to 1956. The "Twelve-Year Science and Technology Development Plan" formulated at that time listed computers as one of the priorities for the development of science and technology. In 1957, preparations were made to build China's first Computing Technology Research Institute. .

Subsequently, with the help of Soviet experts, the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed China's first digital electronic computer, the 103 machine, which was delivered for use in 1958. The computer fixed-point 32 binary bits at 2,500 times per second.

In 1959, China's first large-scale digital electronic computer, the 104, was developed. This computer had a floating point of 40 binary bits and 10,000 operations per second.

In April 1960, the general-purpose electronic digital computer 107 was successfully developed. In 1964, the first self-designed large-scale general-purpose digital tube computer 119 was developed.

Of course, these were the first generation of tube computers.

Then it entered the development of the second generation of transistor computers. In 1965, the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences successfully developed China's first large-scale transistor computer, the 109 B computer. In the next two years, the 109 B computer was improved and the 109 C computer was launched.

The leaders are no stranger to these, because this computer played an important role in the trial production of the two bombs and was known as the 'meritorious machine'.

Even the leaders know that not long ago, the 32nd Institute of Electronics of the Ministry of Electronics and the National University of Defense Technology successfully developed the 655 machine and the 151 machine respectively, with speeds of one million times.

"The Type 80 tank and the Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun have computers." Liu Tao nodded and said, "The establishment of this computer manufacturing plant is actually the commercialization of the computer technology of the Type 80 tank and the Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun."

"Of course, the computing power of the personal computer to be launched is about the same as the foreign trade version, and there is still a big gap between the personal computer version." Liu Tao said: "A small computer has a computing power of two million times. "

"Personal computers will definitely enter the military field and play a big role in the military field." Liu Tao is very sure of this.

Now the running speed of personal computers can reach millions of times.

When all the leaders heard this, they couldn't help but marvel.

The leaders asked some questions one by one, and Liu Tao answered them one by one.

"The investment cost of the Hesheng Battalion is so large, and the investment of the Hesheng Brigade is even greater. Even if it represents the future direction, will it be too costly? Is it too forward to discuss this aspect now?" A leader asked.

Liu Tao's heart moved.

Then he smiled and said: "Leader, either way, you can choose a place in the southwest as a training base, use the synthetic battalion and synthetic brigade as the blue army, and other troops as the red army, and take turns to the training base for training and competition."

But he remembered the famous Zhurihe Contract Tactical Training Base.

He happened to know something about the Zhurihe Contract Tactical Training Base, and knew that it would not be listed as a key project of the Ninth Five-Year Plan until 1994, and that this training ground for the Capital Military Region Armored Corps would not be expanded to include the entire military in 1997. The largest contract tactical training base with the highest technological content.

At that time, all the Red Army troops would shout "Liberate Zhurihe and capture Man Guangzhi alive", and then they would be beaten to a pulp.

In fact, Liu Tao did not know that the United States established the world's most famous Fort Irwin National Training Center in southern California last year. It is the main base for rotating training of the US Army's heavy divisions, brigades and battalion-level troops. Later, the US military built hundreds of various training bases, which can train more than 250,000 people for the US military every year.

"Blue Army?" The leader frowned slightly, showing a puzzled look.

Liu Tao was puzzled. What's going on? Is there no Blue Army in the army now?

Although he was puzzled, Liu Tao still explained, "The so-called Blue Army is a special force that simulates the combat target in the confrontational exercises and exercises organized by the army, which is composed of the enemy's equipment, combat guidance, and tactical principles. It is also called "imaginary enemy troops", "opposition troops", and "shadow troops!"

"Using synthetic battalions and synthetic brigades as blue troops, fighting with other troops, in this process, not only other troops are trained, but also problems existing in synthetic battalions and synthetic brigades can be exposed, so as to improve them." Liu Tao said.

After Liu Tao explained it, the leaders understood.

This idea is indeed good. Through the confrontation exercise between the two troops, problems can be discovered and solved in a targeted manner.

This is of great significance to the construction of the two troops.

Liu Tao is already looking forward to the fact that other troops will train hard to improve their combat effectiveness after being beaten by the combined battalion and the combined brigade. Will there be any military legends at that time?

After all, in terms of this kind of training base, the combined battalion and the combined brigade themselves have the advantage of weapons and equipment, and then they will have the advantage of being familiar with the terrain, and it will be difficult for other troops to win.
