The first generation of thermal imagers, like the principle of a TV, have special optical scanning equipment that maps the target thermal radiation signal obtained on the infrared objective lens to the infrared detector and converts it into an electrical signal, and then amplifies it through the circuit and then sends it to the display. In this way, the thermal radiation image can be turned into a visible light image.

Like TVs, the images of TVs are also obtained through scanning, dividing the target into rows and then turning them into spots of light. The principle of this device is not difficult and easy to implement. Even the great Eastern powers developed this type of infrared thermal imager in the mid-1980s.
However, the infrared detector on this infrared thermal imager is quite difficult to operate, especially if it needs cooling, so it is very difficult to use. If it is used on a tank, liquid nitrogen must be added to it from time to time, which is simply a nightmare for logistics personnel.
Therefore, it just solves the problem of whether there is or not. If you really want to be in use, it is best to use infrared thermal imagers with infrared focal plane array technology. It depends on the development of microelectronics technology. This focal plane array is integrated into thousands of small infrared detectors on a small plane, so that there is no need to scan anymore. Each detector is obtaining signals, and then these signals are integrated into a whole.
This is similar to the development of radar. Early radars were an integral antenna, which radiated electromagnetic waves through the rotation of the antenna. When it comes to active phased array radar, it turned the radar antenna into small units, and each unit could send and receive signals.
This kind of thermal imager has real practical value and is also the mainstream internationally. Of course, these technologies are embargoed by the West to the domestic market.
The Type 90 tank manufactured by the first machine factory is planned to be equipped with Lao Ba, so all kinds of components on this tank can be purchased from the outside, including high-end infrared imaging night vision devices. However, if the Eastern powers want to use it themselves, it will not work.
Moreover, even if you have samples, you cannot imitate it yourself after disassembling it. This so-called focal plane array is actually a chip, a semiconductor circuit board, and a chip. It is simply impossible to imitate it.
Now, only by starting from the basics and researching them little by little, the Eastern powers have no technical foundation in this regard.
Of course, after more than ten years of development, the Eastern power has accumulated a lot of experience in microelectronics, and its overall strength is even higher than that of the Soviet Union.
The Soviet Union was also quite backward in this regard.
When the Soviet Union collapsed, Russia had been relying on its old capital and developed the agave system, which sounded high-end, but this was just an old technology from the Soviet era. These things were installed on the T-90 tank, which is the T-72 tank's name renamed product, and then exported to the outside world.
After Ah San imported the T-90 tank from Russia, he was quite dissatisfied with the agave system on it. Although Ah San's army was not very good, they had a high vision and kept protesting to Russia. So Russia had no choice but to introduce the core components of a special thermal imager from France and sell it to Ah San.
Russia was also very concerned, so he learned from his mistakes. After years of hard work, it was not until 2016 that it developed a 640x521-level infrared focal plane array element. This 300,000 pixel-level thermal imager is more than ten years behind the Eastern powers. As for the million-level and ten million-level infrared focal plane arrays, it is even more behind.
Moreover, this is just an infrared focal plane array, which is just one of the core components. In addition to these, special processing chips and light guide devices are also required. If it is not a non-refrigeration product, it also requires a micro-refrigeration device.
Therefore, the technical difficulty of this thing is quite high.
However, once developed, the benefits are also great.
"Yes, the first generation of products is not good, we must develop the second generation of products." Qin Zhenhua said: "We invest now first. After we create it, we can break the Western blockade and benefit other military products. We don't have other abilities. Our Eastern powers have the backbone. If others block us, we can create what others do. We are still waiting to thank the Western blockade. If it weren't for their blockade, there would always be some of us who would think it would be better to buy it than to make it!"
The great power of the East has no other abilities, but this ability is still there.
Does the West think that blockade can limit the development of the Eastern powers? Of course it is impossible. The people of the Eastern powers are the most creative. In ancient times, there were four great inventions. At that time, the West still ate raw meat and drank blood. In modern times, the Eastern powers were backward, which was only temporary. As long as one has this determination, it will definitely be able to make it!
If the West cannot blockade the Eastern powers, the blockade will only lead to the Eastern powers silently research and development and eventually achieve a breakthrough! No matter in any field, the Eastern powers have this confidence.
In later generations, there were more examples of such. When doing satellite navigation, the West excluded the Eastern powers, and the Eastern powers did it themselves! As a result, the global positioning system of the Eastern powers has been put into operation, and the West is still arguing.
When building a space station, the West excludes the Eastern powers. The Eastern powers' own space stations have entered the sky, and the West has no more manned spacecraft.
This is the confidence of a great country!
The Eastern Power can not only produce it, but also make this technology into cabbage. As long as the Eastern Power produces it itself, this technology will bloom quickly.
This infrared focal plane is too useful in weapons and equipment. In addition to night vision devices, infrared imaging fighting missiles of air-to-air missiles, infrared imaging guidance of anti-tank missiles, and even air-to-ground missiles can be loaded in everything, and the price is cheap!
Now, the country's military expenditure is tight and there will be no investment. Therefore, Qin Zhenhua needs to support and invest in the one-machine factory to continue this kind of project with huge investment.
"Yes, we will definitely make it." Wang Xiaoqiang was also very moved. When he heard the word "It's better to buy" and it hurt his heart. At that time, in the computer institute, to develop super-large-scale integrated circuits was ruined by the saying that "It's better to buy" than to buy.
This idea won’t work. Sooner or later, it will be choked by others. The best way to develop it yourself!
