I'll help you build the missile.

Chapter 39 I'll help you build the missile.

Wu Guodong was taken aback by Lei Fu's sudden action. Seeing Lei Fu's protective stance towards Wu Zu, he quickly pointed at Wu Zu and began to explain.

"Director Lei, hello. Please don't misunderstand. I'm Wu Guodong from the Northwest Research Institute, and this is my wife, Liu Xuelan. We are Azu's parents!"

Upon hearing Wu Guodong's explanation, Lei Fu relaxed his guard slightly, but still said with some dissatisfaction, "Even parents can't just hit their children! What if they hurt them?"

In Lei Fu's eyes, Wu Zu was the precious gem of the Jiangnan Arsenal.

This kid not only successfully developed the Type 99A main battle tank and a series of key technologies, but now he has also created a high-performance air defense radar.

He was simply a lucky star bestowed upon the arsenal by heaven, and a rising star for China's military industry.

Wu Guodong immediately adopted a posture of disciplining the child, and Lei Fu naturally refused to allow him to lay a finger on Wu Zu.

After being scolded by Lei Fu, Wu Guodong looked embarrassed and quickly said, "I'm so sorry, Director Lei, I know I was wrong. My child is too naughty and has never been well-behaved since he was little. He must have caused you a lot of trouble. I will take him back and educate him properly. I will definitely pay attention to the methods I use."

However, before Lei Fu could respond, Professor Li interrupted Wu Guodong with a look of dissatisfaction.

"Causing trouble? No, no, no, he not only didn't cause any trouble, but actually made a great contribution! A tremendous one at that!"

Lei Fu nodded in agreement and patted Wu Zu's shoulder gently with a look of satisfaction.

"That's right, Azu really made a great contribution this time."

"Without him, the secrets that the Jiangnan Arsenal had painstakingly developed would probably have been stolen by those treacherous guys from the United States long ago. We should thank him properly! He is a great hero of our arsenal!"

"Huh?" Wu Guodong and Liu Xuelan looked surprised and asked in unison, "The United States? Thank them?"

What exactly is going on?

How did my son suddenly get involved with the United States?

What earth-shattering thing did he do?

Actually, the couple had come in a great hurry, not intending to beat or scold Wu Zu, as they knew that children need proper guidance to grow up.

However, Wu Zu's unauthorized handling of the bag containing confidential documents caused them considerable concern.

After all, those bags contained classified documents concerning the country's military development. If they were leaked, the consequences would be unimaginable and could pose a huge threat to China's national defense security.

Moreover, after reviewing the documents, they were surprised to find that, according to the technology and blueprints supplemented and improved by Wu Zu, they seemed to have the initial conditions to build a missile defense system.

This was an extraordinary thing, so they were eager to have Wu Zu explain the technical aspects and figure out how he had done it.

Seeing the bewildered looks on Wu Guodong and Liu Xuelan's faces, Professor Li couldn't help but laugh and began to tell them what had just happened.

After hearing about Wu Zu and others' experiences, Wu Guodong and his wife were so shocked that they couldn't speak for a long time.

Good heavens! Without anyone noticing, his own son actually commanded Chinese pilots to fly fighter jets to intercept an American U2 reconnaissance plane, and even launched missiles to successfully destroy the U2's right wing engine. This is simply unbelievable!

At this point, Professor Li couldn't help but exclaim, "That's how it is! The radar your son developed not only has a long detection range but also boasts superior computing power, capable of accurately calculating the lead of enemy aircraft—a crucial performance characteristic indispensable for fighter jets!"

Upon hearing these words, Wu Guodong and Liu Xuelan were completely stunned.

Wu Guodong swallowed hard, pointed at the small, roughly made radar in Professor Li's hand, and asked hesitantly, "Professor Li, are you saying—this was made by my son?"

Professor Li nodded: "That's right, don't let its small size fool you, its detection range can reach 20 kilometers!"

At this moment, Liu Xuelan stared at the radar, which was about the size of an electric fan, and couldn't help but gently tug at Wu Guodong's sleeve.

Wu Guodong was taken aback and turned to look at Liu Xuelan: "What's wrong?"

"Look, doesn't this look just like what Azu drew on the blueprints?"

Liu Xuelan's words made Wu Guodong recall them carefully, and when he compared them with the small radar in front of him, he couldn't help but gasp.

"It's true! My God, we're still researching the related technologies, and Azu has already built an air defense system!"

Immediately afterward, the couple looked at Wu Zu eagerly: "Auntie, what exactly happened?"

Wu Zu pointed to the radar and said, "Mom and Dad, after reading your technical documents and combining them with my own ideas, I felt that it wasn't that difficult, so I couldn't help but start making the air defense system myself."

"What?" Everyone present exclaimed in unison.

This is outrageous!

This is an air defense system! How could he so casually say it wasn't that difficult?

In particular, Wu Guodong and Liu Xuelan spent several years incognito researching and developing air defense systems in the deep mountains and forests.

As a result, my own son simply said, "It's not that difficult," and directly built the air defense system.

Professor Li stared blankly at the radar beside him, and asked in confusion, "Isn't this a radar?"

Wu Guodong shook his head and explained, "In a sense, it is indeed radar, but it's more than just radar, because it's a radar specifically designed for use with missiles!"

Liu Xuelan added, "Air defense systems use radar to capture signals to determine the target's location, calculate the target's lead time, and then transmit this data to the missile's guidance head, allowing the missile to continuously adjust its direction and accurately attack the target. Ordinary radar only detects targets and does not have these latter functions."

Upon hearing this, Professor Li couldn't help but gasp, looking at Wu Zu with a hint of resentment.

"Why didn't you say so sooner? I thought it was just a regular radar. No wonder its computing power is so amazing!"

Wu Zu chuckled mischievously, "You didn't ask, so I thought you knew."

At this moment, Wu Guodong and Liu Xuelan were so shocked that they didn't know what to do.

"Azu, you mean—this air defense system can directly interface with missiles?"

Wu Zu nodded: "That's right, but we don't have the corresponding missiles right now."

Liu Xuelan quickly shook her head: "That's not the key point. The air defense system is the most important thing. It's like the brain and commander of the missiles. With it, the subsequent work will be much easier!"

Seeing the couple's excited expressions, Wu Zu's eyes lit up, and he said, "How about I help you build the missiles as well?"
