403: Chapter 403: Upgrading the Fire Control System 403: Chapter 403: Upgrading the Fire Control System Ye Zhi tugged at Zhao Guang. “Are you sure we’re going to start our own company? If we’re really doing this, a gemstone company absolutely needs top-quality gemstones; they are our live billboards.” “Yeah, if we have top-quality gemstones, it’ll be easy to hype it up; it’ll be internationally recognized,” Han Xiaoyu also spoke up. Zhao Guang nodded. “Don’t worry about that; we’ll definitely have top-tier goods.” The others were even more surprised, wondering where Zhao Guang’s confidence came from. They knew top-grade gemstones weren’t the same as ordinary ones—the price of ordinary gemstones was really just hyped up. But with top-quality gemstones, the price is genuine, and it can only go up, not down. The most crucial point is, such top-quality gemstones are hard to find, not something you can just seek out. Zhao Guang, however, was unconcerned. In the Otherworld, the variety of natural gemstone outputs couldn’t be compared with Earth. Not only was the yield huge, but the quality was also very good. Even Zhao Guang himself had to exercise control; he absolutely couldn’t bring back ones that were too large. It’s only with diamonds that Earth could artificially manufacture them and export them to the Otherworld. Otherwise, could Earth people imagine natural diamonds the size of two or three meters in diameter, or even larger? That’s right, Earthlings wouldn’t even dare to think of it, but it was indeed a reality in the Otherworld. After confirming again and again, Ye Zhi began to plan the company for everyone, which drew the attention of almost everyone. Seeing that Zhao Guang was now free, a refined young man walked over. He looked a little older than Zhao Guang, but not by much. “Zhao Guang, I have seen your draft. Do you have anything more detailed?” Zhao Guang looked up and to his surprise, it was Meng Liang, who Ye Zhi had introduced before. This Meng Liang was not simple. He was the third son of the Meng family’s main branch. Although not very old, he was a brilliant student. Meng Liang had always been the exemplary child others compared their own against, and many were disciplined hearing tales of his achievements. Plus, he was now a weapons engineer, the type that does research with a mentor. Originally not part of their circle, he had been forcefully invited over this time. Otherwise, Meng Liang wouldn’t have shown up, since they didn’t really have topics in common. At first, it was indeed the case; Meng Liang was by himself in a corner. As for the new company, Meng Liang wasn’t very interested—other members of the Meng Family were involved, and he himself was not short of money. Seeing everyone else studying the new company, Meng Liang joined them. The reason was simple: some drafts that had been taken from Zhao Guang were shown to Meng Liang. “I do, here it is.” Zhao Guang thought for a moment, then took out his notebook. Seeing these two engrossed in conversation, the others exchanged looks, spoke in low voices, and kept their distance. They knew that the subject being discussed was too advanced for them to contribute to. More importantly, if they interjected and family members found out, they would be in trouble. Even if they were too old to be spanked, a lengthy lecture was definitely on the cards. Nobody wanted to lose face and have their family dish out such a lesson. “I’ve never seen this formula; what’s it about?” “Look here, this is what I derived from the third formula. I feel that changing it this way would make it easier to calculate. You just need to use yourself as the center, and the coordinate calculations will be much more precise.” Meng Liang’s eyes lit up. “So that’s how it is. Indeed, it would be much finer, and the calculation speed would be faster.” “Right, this should be a fire control calculation method, right?” Zhao Guang was taken aback for a moment, then nodded. “Ah, yes, yes, it’s for calculating missile impact points.” It was specifically prepared for his spell-guided missiles, which were designed based on some missile technology. “Missiles? This wouldn’t be suitable for missiles. Our missiles are guided by satellite positioning. The trajectories are complex and can’t be calculated using this method.” “Oh, is that so? I’m just an amateur studying it for fun, and I thought it wasn’t practical.” Zhao Guang was a bit embarrassed, since he obviously couldn’t tell the other person that this was for his own spells. But then Meng Liang, while calculating, said, “No, it’s not that it’s impractical, just apply it in another area. I think this method could completely be used in tank and rocket launcher fire control systems.” Those were beyond visual range strikes, but with a limited scope; satellite assistance wasn’t needed. Although past calculations could also achieve high accuracy rates, they weren’t 100% precise. If they were improved using Zhao Guang’s calculation method, it would be a different story. Meng Liang grew excited about the topic. “If this formula proves to be correct, I feel that our current accuracy could increase by at least 10%. That would be a huge innovation.” “Really? An increase that big would surpass the capabilities of the great country across the ocean, wouldn’t it?” As everyone knows, the national high-tech capabilities did lag somewhat behind those of the great country. The gap wasn’t huge, but it was real. An improvement of 10% all at once would definitely surpass the competition. Meng Liang frowned slightly, but still said, “According to my calculations, it should be fine, but I still need to consult with my mentor. If it really works out, you’ll have made a great contribution.” “Is that so? I do have a more refined method of calculation; I might as well give it to you as well.” What he was pursuing wasn’t a percentage-based hit rate, but a 100% hit rate. After all, these were spells from a Mage—if one spell didn’t hit, who knew what consequences it might have? Besides, he didn’t plan on teaching these spells to anyone else. Once such spells became widespread, they might end up being used against him, posing too great a threat. Too bad Xi Fei couldn’t learn such complex spells; otherwise, his territory would have had two missile launchers. “That would be great; I’ll call my mentor right away.” “Wait, wait, let’s talk about it tomorrow; it’s late now, and there’s no rush.” Meng Liang calmed down and nodded. “We’ll wait for tomorrow then.” He was eager, yet he understood that pushing it now would be disappointing. However, Meng Liang was still in a hurry, so he pulled Zhao Guang aside to ask questions. The more he asked, the more he realized how much Zhao Guang knew. And Zhao Guang also found out that some knowledge seemed unattainable outside academic environments, as certain specialized topics were only accessible in professional settings.
