One second-class merit is not enough! It must be a first-class merit!

Chapter 42 A second-class merit is not enough! It must be a first-class merit!

"Logically, they shouldn't have detected us. Their military radar's maximum detection range is only about 10 kilometers, while the U2..."

The reconnaissance aircraft flew at an altitude of 2 meters.

"If I'm not mistaken, they may have already developed a high-altitude reconnaissance radar!"

Upon hearing this, the expression on the face of an officer standing nearby instantly turned serious.

"Damn it, they managed to develop this radar so quietly!"

"This matter must be reported to headquarters immediately, otherwise it will be dangerous for our reconnaissance planes to fly over there again!"

At this moment, the combat analyst suddenly spoke up: "Don't rush. I think we can probe again to see if they really have high-altitude detection radar. What we just said was just speculation."

"Try again? What if they really do have one? Wouldn't that be like handing our reconnaissance plane right to their guns?"

"Then let's send Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft. Their missiles simply can't reach them at their altitude and speed!"

Upon hearing this, the officer next to him pondered for a moment and nodded.

"Okay, we'll do it your way. I'll go and apply to my superiors right away. However, the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft needs to be transferred from other military regions, which will probably take a few days."

A secret research institute deep in a mountainous area in Northwest China.

In the dean's office, Han Xueheng, wearing a white lab coat, with slightly disheveled hair and thick glasses perched on his nose, was holding a phone, looking utterly shocked.

"What did you say? You mean your son actually developed an air defense radar for a missile defense system? Is that really what you mean?"

"Absolutely true! That's exactly it!"

Although Wu Guodong tried to keep his voice steady on the other end of the phone, he could not hide his pride.

"That's absolutely impossible!" Han Xueheng instinctively denied it outright. "If I remember correctly, your son is only ten years old this year. How could such a young child achieve something like this?"

"But that's just how it is!"

"Just now, thanks to the air defense radar he developed, we detected the US U-2 reconnaissance plane and, with the help of Air Force fighter jets, successfully shot it down!"

"This—" Upon hearing this news, Han Xueheng was so shocked that his hands trembled slightly.

Wu Guodong was his researcher and his prized student. Based on his understanding of Wu Guodong, he knew that the other party would never fabricate such a lie.

But this statement sounds so absurd that it's hard to believe.

"Okay, tell me more about the technical aspects, and I'll take notes."

"Okay!"

Then, Wu Guodong explained in detail the air defense radar technology developed by Wu Zuyan over the phone.

As Han Xueheng listened, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise at each technology he heard, sometimes frowning in deep thought, and sometimes showing a look of sudden realization.

After listening, Han Xueheng fell silent on the spot.

It's important to know that many of these technologies were problems they had been unable to overcome for a long time.

After listening to Wu Guodong's explanation, he instantly understood the principle and couldn't help but admire Wu Zu's ability immensely.

"That's amazing! I absolutely have to meet your son, he's a prodigy!"

"Haha, no problem, Dean. I'll bring him to the research institute later. Dean, what do you think of this arrangement?"

"Of course! If he wasn't coming, I was planning to go and invite him myself!"

After hanging up the phone, Han Xueheng sat in his chair, looking at the notes he had just taken down, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

"Next, we should start researching anti-aircraft missiles. I never expected this day to come so suddenly. We really have to thank this complete stranger, Azu!"

Just as Wu Guodong was making a phone call to the Northwest Research Institute, Feng Zhenliang also quickly reported the matter to the Eastern Military Region Command.

Everyone at the Eastern Military District Command was thrilled to learn of the breakthrough in radar technology.

"Truly, heroes have emerged from among the young throughout history!"

"I never imagined that our radar technology breakthrough was thanks to this kid, Ah Zu. He's truly remarkable!"

"Sir, do you think it would be a problem to award him another second-class merit at this commendation ceremony?"

"Second-class merit? This radar technology is so crucial; it practically fills a major gap in our Long's air defense system. A second-class merit isn't enough; it must be a first-class merit!"

"Huh? First-class merit? That's already two first-class merits!"

"He fully deserves two first-class merit awards!"

Inside Wu Zu's temporary dormitory.

What are you doing here?

Wu Guodong pushed open the door and was taken aback when he saw the old man packing his things.

Liu Xuelan, standing to the side, was also slightly taken aback, then reacted, gently poking Wu Guodong's lower back and scolding, "If Dad hadn't come, how could Grandpa have gotten here? Asking such a silly question!"

Wu Shuanzhu was also taken aback when he saw his son and daughter-in-law come in.

"What's going on? Didn't you two say you weren't coming, that you were going to attend some expert lecture?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Guodong and Liu Xuelan exchanged a glance and smiled helplessly.

"How were we supposed to know that expert was Ah Zu!"

"Yes, Dad, we only just found out about A-Zu's affairs. Why didn't you tell us beforehand?"

The old man snorted in dissatisfaction.

"How long has it been since you've been home? And you still remember you have a son?"

"I wanted to surprise you guys, but you found out beforehand. Honestly, you can't keep any surprises to yourself."

As he spoke, Wu Shuanzhu turned to look at Wu Zu, asking with a loving expression, "Grandpa has been staying at the General Military Region for a while these past few days. Have you run into any trouble while you're here alone?"

Wu Zu nodded and popped a White Rabbit milk candy into his mouth.

"Director Lei is so good to me, he even gave me special tutoring."

"Oh, that's good. I was worried you wouldn't be used to it, so I called them several times. Now that you've said that, I'm relieved."

As he spoke, the old man gently patted Wu Zu on the shoulder, "If it weren't for you, I probably would never have had the chance to see those old comrades again in my life. I have to thank you so much."

At this moment, Wu Guodong seemed to suddenly remember something, "Oh right, our director hopes that Azu can come with us to the research institute to provide guidance on radar-related technical issues."

"Dad, we'll take him there after this awards ceremony."

Upon hearing this, Wu Shuanzhu frowned immediately: "Will Azu be able to adapt to living in those mountains in the Northwest?"

Wu Guodong quickly looked to his wife for help.

Liu Xuelan quickly said, "Dad, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Azu and personally bring him back safely."

"Okay, fine."

But then, Wu Zu suddenly asked, "Can Mom and Dad make anti-aircraft missiles?"

Upon hearing Wu Zu mention missiles again, Wu Guodong and Liu Xuelan felt somewhat helpless.

"Ah Zu, your parents told you that missiles are too dangerous. You're still young, so don't think about them for now, okay?"

""

"Yes, leave the missile stuff to us adults. You can focus on your radar research."
