Making Anti-Aircraft Missiles

Chapter 43 Making Anti-Aircraft Missiles

Hearing his son and daughter-in-law say this, Wu Shuanzhu couldn't help but speak up.

"Although Ah-Zu is still a child, he's no ordinary child!"

"He even made a shell himself last time! Why do you all think he can't handle missiles?"

"What?" Liu Xuelan was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat. "What on earth is going on?"

So Wu Zu described the scene in detail.

After hearing this, Wu Guodong and Liu Xuelan were quite frightened. Wu Guodong looked at the old man with a reproachful expression.

"Auntie is still so young, doing such dangerous things, why didn't you stop her? What if something happened—"

"It's not Grandpa's fault, it was my own idea. Besides, making artillery shells is very simple for me!"

"Oh, you silly child!"

Wu Guodong sighed deeply, at a loss for how to teach his son.

Wu Zu ran up to Wu Shuanzhu and whispered, "Grandpa, does anyone at Mom and Dad's research institute actually research missiles?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Shuanzhu grinned and said, "What? You want to make another missile?"

"I want to give it a try!"

"Haha, don't worry, they are researching missiles, but no one knows how to build them yet."

"Isn't that perfect? ​​I can do it!"

Seeing Wu Zu's smug look, Wu Guodong helplessly covered his forehead and said to Liu Xuelan, "Letting old men take care of children is really unreliable. Look at the state they've raised these kids to be!"

Liu Xuelan didn't know how to persuade them, feeling that the father and son didn't take her and Wu Guodong's words seriously at all.

"Never mind, I'll keep a close eye on him when we get there. I'll bring him back as soon as the technical lecture is over."

Hearing his mother's words, Wu Zu was already calculating how long it would take to build a missile.

But after thinking it over, he felt that he probably wouldn't have enough time to stay there.

It seems we'll have to build one ourselves in the Jiangnan Military Region!

That night, after his parents had fallen into a deep sleep, Wu Zu quietly opened the system interface.

What comes into view is:

[Host]: Wu Zu [Current Points]: 502 points [Currently Unlocked Military Technologies]: 99A Main Battle Tank, Air Defense Radar Wu Zu glanced at his points balance and then opened the [Supplies] interface. After searching for a while, he found the HQ7 surface-to-air short-range air defense missile.

【HQ7 Surface-to-Air Short-Range Missile】: 150 points.

Upon seeing the price of the HQ7 anti-aircraft missile, Wu Zuxian was slightly taken aback, but then he understood.

It turns out that for each type of military equipment, once you unlock one of the technologies, the total price will be reduced by the points required to unlock that technology.

"I see! This system is actually quite practical!"

A smile appeared on Wu Zu's lips, and he chose to buy without hesitation.

[Ding! You have spent 150 points to purchase HQ7 surface-to-air short-range air defense missile technology!]

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Zu suddenly felt a flood of memories rush into his mind.

Only after obtaining the complete short-range air defense missile system did he feel at ease enough to go to sleep.

The next morning, Wu Zu went straight to the materials department and began collecting various materials needed to make anti-aircraft missiles.

However, the current situation greatly disappointed him. The materials department was extremely short of supplies, and most of the various electronic components were unusable.

The imported electronic components wrapped in plastic film also did not meet his requirements at all.

"The basic industrial base is still too weak; we can't even find a suitable capacitor."

"Looks like we'll have to buy another batch from the system!"

So he reopened the [Supplies] interface and began purchasing according to his needs.

This purchase cost a total of 200 points, which was even more than the cost of purchasing HQ7 technology.

Wu Zu couldn't help but laugh and cry. He had praised the system yesterday, but he didn't expect it to trick him so early this morning.

But after a moment's thought, he felt he could understand it.

While technology is certainly expensive, the components required to realize that technology also require technical support, so it seems reasonable that the cost of technical components is higher than that of the technology itself.

Wu Zu felt that his ability to comfort himself was becoming stronger and stronger.

After purchasing the necessary items, Wu Zu once again plunged into the laboratory to get busy.

Aside from taking time to give lectures and have meals, he spends almost all his time in the laboratory.

The auditorium of the Jiangnan Arsenal.

The auditorium was brightly decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, red lanterns hung high on both sides of the road, and the ground was swept spotless, without a single fallen leaf in sight.

In the center of the auditorium, a long red carpet was laid out, creating a festive atmosphere like a wedding.

"Move a little to the right, a little more to the right!"

Several soldiers in green uniforms were climbing ladders and hanging a long banner in the center of the auditorium.

The banner was unfurled, and the words "Jiangnan Arsenal Commendation Conference" were prominently displayed.

After a busy morning, the auditorium was finally set up.

After lunch, everyone changed into clean and tidy clothes and took their seats in the auditorium.

At this time, Wu Zu was still fully committed to the research and development of anti-aircraft missiles.

Wu Guodong and Liu Xuelan also carefully changed into clean clothes. Liu Xuelan even put on light makeup and tied her hair up. She casually asked, "Where's Azu? He's going to the awards ceremony soon. He's the star of the show today!"

Wu Guodong straightened his collar in front of the mirror. "He's gone to the lab again. I wonder what he's been busy with these past few days."

Liu Xuelan glanced at her watch and sighed softly, "Oh no, the awards ceremony starts in less than an hour. I have to hurry and call Ah Zu."

The two rushed to the laboratory, where they saw Wu Zu holding a welding torch and welding an unidentified part.

The lab table was piled high with all sorts of parts.

Liu Xuelan gently knocked on the laboratory door.

Wu Zu's voice came from inside: "There's no one in the house."

Hearing this, Liu Xuelan and Wu Guodong looked helpless.

If there's no one else in the house, then what is this child?

Liu Xuelan cleared her throat and shouted, "I'm your mother, you brat! Have you forgotten what we're supposed to do today?"

When Wu Zu heard Liu Xuelan's voice in the laboratory, he was startled at first. He turned to look at the window and saw Liu Xuelan waving at him.

He quickly got up and opened the door, looking at his parents with a surprised expression: "Mom and Dad, what brings you here?"

"Didn't I tell you this morning that there's an awards ceremony today? You didn't forget all about it, did you?"

"Uh...did I say that?"

Seeing Wu Zu's blank expression, Liu Xuelan sighed helplessly and looked at the parts in the room.

"You must be so engrossed in your research that you've lost your mind. Stop what you're doing right now, we have to go."

Only after being reminded by his parents did Wu Zu remember that his father had indeed mentioned an awards ceremony that day when he left home that morning.

"Time flies!"

"Ugh, I just can't do anything with you!"

As Liu Xuelan spoke, she picked up the clothes and helped Wu Zu put them on.

Unbeknownst to the couple, in the adjacent laboratory, an anti-aircraft missile, over three meters long and weighing over eighty kilograms, was already taking shape, with only the guidance head remaining to be completed.
