Chapter 8 Laser Interception System?

At seven o'clock in the evening, the sun sank below the mountains, its afterglow painting half the sky red.

Lin Weiliang and Director Chen Jianhua walked into the community gate. Both were wearing the research institute's work uniforms, and their faces showed an undeniable weariness.

"Weiliang, how's your son doing lately?"

Chen Jianhua asked, "I heard you went to the hospital a couple of days ago?"

As the director of a key project at the Chengdu Aircraft Industry Research Institute, Lin Weiliang's direct superior, after years of hard work and struggle, has already turned gray in his hair even though he is not yet fifty years old.

However, because he was a military technician in his early years, he did not look old, and his expression still showed a firm and tough edge.

"It's nothing."

Lin Weiliang replied simply, "The doctor's examination showed nothing wrong, and he said to come back and rest well."

"It's alright... Hmm?"

Chen Jianhua nodded, but before he could finish speaking, a mosquito flew past him a few meters away.

Suddenly, a red light flashed on the mosquito's body, and the mosquito fell directly into the air, leaving behind a faint smell of burning.

What is this thing?!

Chen Jianhua paused for a moment, then quickly took two steps forward, where a simple device flashing red light came into view.

The red Guangdong-style stool, the ruggedly designed laser unit, the crudely wired external power supply, the round base, the motor-driven bracket...

At this moment, seemingly sensing that someone had entered the firing range, the laser, which had been flashing red, stopped.

Only the ground littered with dead mosquitoes and the lingering smell of burning in the air reveal what had happened here before.

"This is……"

Chen Jianhua took a step back.

The laser, which had been stationary, shifted its angle and flashed red light again.

Several mosquitoes that flew by quickly glowed red and then fell from the sky.

"Laser interception weapon!"

Chen Jianhua's eyes widened instantly, and he turned sharply to look at Lin Weiliang behind him: "Weiliang, quickly find the property security and find out who put this here."

As an engineer who has worked in the military industry for decades, Chen Jianhua immediately recognized that this device was a standard laser interception system.

A laser system equipped with functions such as target recognition, friend-or-foe identification, motion tracking, and precision strike.

Because of the inescapable nature of the speed of light, once laser interception technology is completed, it will be enough to overturn the existing missile system, preventing all missiles from crossing the line.

Therefore, in recent years, both domestically and internationally, research investment in laser interception has been increased, but there has been no substantial breakthrough.

And now, this revolutionary system is being used to swat mosquitoes in the employee residential area of ​​Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group...

"this……"

Lin Weiliang understood what was going on as soon as he saw the laser device, and his lips twitched a few times: "Director, there's no need to call the property security."

If I'm not mistaken, this should be the mosquito-killing laser device my son made... He said it's specifically for killing mosquitoes after his mother got bitten.

"Your son? The one in second grade?"

Chen Jianhua was stunned, and his eyes clearly showed a moment of confusion.

He remembered Lin Weiliang's son, a child who had just started elementary school.

Last year, during a company team-building gathering, he politely called me "uncle."

But this child, just because his mother was bitten by mosquitoes, tinkered with a laser interception system specifically to kill mosquitoes?

Is it because mosquito coils are too expensive?

Or is the world just too crazy?

Chen Jianhua looked at the laser that was still accurately swatting mosquitoes, estimated the approximate hit rate based on the laser flashing frequency and the speed at which the mosquitoes fell, and swallowed hard.

"Weiliang, are you sure you didn't lead the completion of this?"

"Boss, I don't research laser devices. Do you think I could make something like that?"

Lin Weiliang was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and pointed to the still-operating laser device, saying with a wry smile, "I made the predecessor of this laser device."

But now, its power, reaction time, and efficiency have all improved by several levels; it's practically a completely different level of product.

"It wasn't you..."

Chen Jianhua was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Do you know what it means to modify and assemble such a laser device using civilian equipment and instruments?"

"Know."

Lin Weiliang nodded silently.

He himself is a researcher and engineer in the military industry, so how could he not understand what such a precise laser device means?

Although he had known for two days that his ancestral graves were emitting auspicious smoke and that a demon had appeared in the Lin family.

But now it seems that the Lin family's ancestral graves are not emitting green smoke, but rather spewing fire.

Lin Dong's extraordinary talent far exceeded my expectations.

"Good to know."

Chen Jianhua said seriously, "Come on, take me to your son, I want to ask him for some advice."

That's outrageous, absolutely outrageous.

If Old Zhang knew that the identification and interception technology he had been researching for five or six years without making a breakthrough had been cracked by an eight-year-old elementary school student, wouldn't he be spitting blood?

soon.

Lin Weiliang and Chen Jianhua arrived at Lin Dong's house and found Lin Dong reading in his study after finishing his meal.

Upon seeing Lin Dong, Chen Jianhua forced a smile: "Little Dong, do you still remember your uncle?"

Lin Dong looked at the smiling Chen Jianhua, then at Lin Weiliang who came in with him, and roughly understood what was going on. Maintaining his childlike persona, he asked.

"Uncle Chen, do you need to talk to Dad? I'm going back to my room."

"No need, your uncle came to see you."

Chen Jianhua found a stool and sat down in front of Lin Dong, asking earnestly, "Xiao Dong, how did you make that laser device?"

"That's how it's done."

Lin Dong answered matter-of-factly, his tone full of childlike innocence.

"Well!"

Chen Jianhua was a little speechless. Looking at Lin Dong's childlike face, he had no choice but to change his approach to asking the question.

"Uncle means, could this technology be used to shoot down and intercept aircraft missiles? You know about aircraft and missiles, right, Xiao Dong?"

"I know, my dad studies airplanes."

Lin Dong nodded first, then shook his head: "Uncle Chen, this laser can't shoot down airplanes and missiles. It's not powerful enough. It can't even kill a mosquito beyond ten meters."

"Power is not a problem; we can research higher-powered laser weapons."

Chen Jianhua knew, of course, that Lin Dong's laser device was only good for swatting mosquitoes; it couldn't even penetrate the defenses of a metal-skinned aircraft or missile.

However, the true core of this system does not lie in the power of the weapons.

Rather, it lies in the control of aspects such as automatic target identification, real-time tracking, movement trajectory prediction, and final precision strike.

"It still doesn't work."

Lin Dong thought for a moment and continued to shake his head: "Image recognition code can only be used for low-speed objects. For aircraft and missiles, high speed will cause focusing difficulties and image distortion, making image recognition tracking impossible."

Unless the program and algorithm are completely modified, changing image recognition to radar tracking, but that would require radar data involving military secrets…”

"The radar data is correct," Chen Jianhua responded immediately.

If such interception technology can be developed, it will not only be able to intercept radar data, but also fifth-generation fighter jet data.

"Uncle Chen, I have a question."

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong quickly waved his hand: "I'm still a child, please let me get in touch with confidential technology."

Aren't you afraid that a bad guy could bribe me with a lollipop, leading to the leak of major secrets?

Although I'm under fourteen, if I were to leak information, the law couldn't do anything to me...

"This..." Chen Jianhua was dumbfounded.

Only then did he realize that the person he was talking to was not a professional researcher from the Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group base, but an eight-year-old child who was still in the second grade.

Allowing lawless children of this age to access classified technology could lead to leaks, and there would be no recourse for recourse.
