Cutting-edge technology: Starting with individual stealth equipment

After leaving the office, Shen Yuxin first finished the handover of her work. Her replacement was a new employee who had just joined DeepBlue Technology.

By around 10 a.m., the handover of all work was completed.

After the job transfer, Shen Yuxin now has her own office, which is right next to Lin Chuan's, so she can be there whenever he calls.

The office is about ten square meters and is kept very clean.

A desk, a chair, a filing cabinet, a computer, and a south-facing window that offers a view of the street below.

Shen Yuxin moved her things in, put them away, and then sat down at her desk.

I turned on my computer, logged into the company's internal system, and the permissions were already granted.

There was a document on the desktop. Shen Yuxin opened it and looked at it. It was a "Job Description for Chairman's Secretary Assistant".

She carefully read through the job descriptions, which included tasks such as schedule management, meeting arrangement, document circulation, customer reception, and travel coordination.

After a while, footsteps came from the doorway, followed by a knock. The door was open.

Shen Yuxin looked up and followed the sound, and found Lin Chuan standing at the door looking at her, one hand in his pocket and the other holding a drink.

"Mr. Lin... Mr. Lin."

Shen Yuxin stood up and subconsciously used a formal address.

Lin Chuan walked straight into the house, looked around, and then looked at Shen Yuxin: "What do you call me when there are no outsiders?"

Shen Yuxin bit her lip.

"Senior brother~"

Lin Chuan smiled and placed the drink on her desk.

"Here, this is for you. It's from a new shop downstairs; the food is pretty good."

Shen Yuxin glanced down at the cup lid and saw a small heart drawn on it; her heart started racing again.

"Thanks……"

Lin Chuan walked around the office, looking at the windows and filing cabinets, then said to Shen Yuxin, "See if the office is missing anything, and tell the administration to get it."

Shen Yuxin shook her head and said, "I don't need anything, everything is fine."

After chatting for a few minutes, Lin Chuan left her office.

Shen Yuxin watched him disappear through the door, then turned her gaze away, picked up the drink Lin Chuan had brought her; the cup was still warm.

She looked down at the heart on the lid of the cup, then took a sip, and a smile unconsciously crept onto her lips.

She adapted to her new job quickly, and Lin Chuan found his work much easier with a secretary/assistant to help him.

……

Three days later, at 2 PM.

Shen Yuxin knocked on Lin Chuan's office door with a document in her hand.

"Come in."

Lin Chuan sat at his desk, his computer on and several documents spread out beside him.

Looking up, he saw Shen Yuxin enter, and his expression changed from focused on work to a relaxed smile.

"What is it?"

Shen Yuxin walked over gracefully and placed the documents on the table: "These are the venue arrangements for the company's new business."

Lin Chuan opened the document and began reading, while Shen Yuxin stood beside him, waiting for him to finish.

The office was quiet, with only the sound of turning pages.

Shen Yuxin's gaze unconsciously fell on Lin Chuan's face.

He was very focused when he looked at the documents, his brows were slightly furrowed, his lips were pursed, and he would occasionally move them slightly, as if he were silently reciting something.

So lovely!

Shen Yuxin muttered to herself.

Lin Chuan closed the materials and asked, "Where is the venue?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuxin put aside her thoughts and quickly switched to work mode.

"About a ten-minute drive from here, there used to be a food processing plant. It had been vacant since it went bankrupt last year. Zhang Wei went to see it, and the structure was good. The renovation cost wasn't high, so he took it over."

Lin Chuan then asked, "When can it be delivered?"

Shen Yuxin replied, "If it gets approved today, we can start renovations at the end of the month."

Hearing this, Lin Chuan nodded, then looked at her with satisfaction and said, "Not bad, you adapted to the new job quite quickly. I thought it would take you at least a week to adapt."

"It's alright..." Shen Yuxin smiled upon hearing this, and added, "Besides... I don't want you to think of me as just a pretty face."

Lin Chuan smiled and looked away. He found a document in the folder on his desk, handed it to Shen Yuxin, and instructed, "Take this to the human resources department and recruit the right people as soon as possible."

Shen Yuxin took the materials, glanced at them, and then nodded: "Okay, I understand."

Shen Yuxin closed the file and left the office.

The newly established "Plasticized Bacteria" project needs to recruit eight people, including microbial technicians and fermentation process engineers.

While recruiting talent for the new project, the site is also being renovated.

Originally a food processing plant, DeepBlue Technology took over it and used it for a new project, mainly to transform it into a P2-level biological laboratory.

Building a P2-level biological laboratory doesn't cost much; it can be done for around two million yuan.

The company's new project operates in parallel with the "Shadow Project," with no overlap between the two, and even the venues are separate.

The employees hired for the new project were unaware that DeepBlue Technology had a secret military project, and even the outside world was unaware that the company had military business.

The individual soldier optical stealth combat system is currently under a high degree of secrecy, and even the manufacturers are keeping it a secret.

DeepBlue Technology currently presents itself to the outside world as an ordinary private technology company, mainly engaged in the development of new materials, and now it has added an environmental protection business segment.

……

A week later, the new project hired its first new employee.

During this period, DeepBlue Technology received more than 20 resumes, interviewed five people, and finally selected one.

This employee, Cui Zhaohan, majored in bioengineering and worked for two years in water treatment at an environmental protection company after graduation. He was attracted by the high salary offered by DeepBlue Technology.

This afternoon, Lin Chuan arrived at the site that was to be converted into a biological laboratory.

Cui Zhaohan, who had just joined the company, also came with him.

After looking around, Cui Zhaohan pointed to the ventilation system and said, "President Lin, this won't do. The exhaust from the biosafety cabinet needs to be separate and can't be mixed with the room's ventilation."

Lin Chuan turned to look at him: "You'll change?"

Cui Zhaohan nodded: "I've made several changes at my previous employer. Leave this to me; I can handle it."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chuan said, "Okay."

After staying there for half an hour, Lin Chuan returned to the company's office building.

A short while later, Shen Yuxin was called to the office, and Lin Chuan immediately handed her a purchasing list: "Go to Miaolan to allocate funds and have the purchasing department get all these equipment ready by the end of the month."

Shen Yuxin nodded: "Okay."

The procurement list includes a constant-temperature shaker, biosafety cabinet, centrifuge, PCR instrument, electrophoresis tank, gel imaging system, etc.

As the days passed and the year drew to a close, the renovation of the laboratory took almost half a month.

Cui Zhaohan rerouted the ventilation ducts, installed HEPA filters, and installed an autoclave at the entrance.

……

2011 arrived as scheduled, and the P2-level biological laboratory was finally completed.

At this moment, Lin Chuan was in the laboratory, looking at the brand-new equipment. Everything was ready, and all the manpower was in place. This project only had eight people, including Lin Chuan himself, which was enough for the current stage.

Once the plasminogen lysate strain is cultivated, a production line for the special nutrient solution can be established, and then recruitment can be expanded. There's no need for it now.

Lin Chuan stayed in the biology lab for a while, then went to the office area.

"I'm assigning everyone a task."

Upon hearing the boss's voice, Cui Zhaohan, Zhao Funing, and the other seven new employees who joined the "Plastic Eating Bacteria" project team all stopped what they were doing and looked at Lin Chuan.

"These past few days, everyone has been going to various plastic recycling stations in Xin'an City to collect environmental samples, trying to collect as many as possible."

A moment later, Zhao Funing asked, "President Lin, what's the purpose of collecting samples from the recycling station?"

Lin Chuan looked at her and replied, "The microorganisms that have lived in this environment for a long time are the basis for cultivating mutant plasminogen lysates. Just do as I say."

The Hyperdimensional Science Library provides a complete technical solution with very detailed technical information, but it cannot provide bacterial strains out of thin air.

Lin Chuan needed to cultivate it himself, and for the initial samples, he chose to find them at plastic recycling stations.

Lin Chuan was confident that he could find the original sample.

In the previous life, around 2016, scientists from the notebook collected environmental samples at a PET plastic bottle recycling station. After systematic screening, they discovered a previously unrecorded bacterial strain that could effectively attach to and degrade PET film.

Further genomic analysis and functional verification confirmed that the strain can secrete two key enzymes that work synergistically to break down PET into terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol for its own growth and reproduction.

Over the next few days, Cui Zhaohan and the other employees from the five project teams went out to collect samples.
