Courtyard Houses: From Families of Martyrs and Orphans to Giants of the Times

Early the next morning.

Military region airport.

A transport plane was already parked at the end of the runway.

The engine emitted a deep roar.

The area was heavily guarded.

Several heavily armed soldiers stood guard around the perimeter.

Lin Jian'an had just gotten off the bus.

Zhao Changhe then strode over.

"Jian'an".

"The situation is urgent."

"I'm not going to beat around the bush with you."

"The communications project is now in its final stages."

"If the material problem cannot be solved."

"All previous achievements must be halted."

Lin Jian'an nodded.

He knew this better than anyone else.

The system scan has already yielded results.

The root of the problem is not the design.

It's not a manufacturing process either.

The problem is that the material properties are not up to par.

It's like a sports car.

No matter how advanced the engine is.

If the tires are faulty, the car won't run.

And Shen Weidong.

He is the key figure in solving this problem.

Zhao Changhe continued.

"I've already called the Northwest Research Institute."

"However, the situation is not very optimistic."

"Shen Weidong is in a bad situation right now."

Lin Jian'an frowned slightly.

"How so?"

Zhao Changhe sighed.

"Research funding was cut."

"Project stalled."

Many people believe he is wasting resources.

"Some even suggested canceling his research group."

Upon hearing this...

Lin Jian'an immediately understood.

He was all too familiar with this kind of thing.

Many advanced technologies.

At first, they were not understood.

Because no one can see the future.

Just like the top scientific research achievements of later generations.

Until success is achieved.

Everyone thought it was unreliable.

If successful.

Everyone will then rush to say that they supported it.

Thinking about this...

Lin Jian'an smiled.

"General."

Don't worry.

"As long as the person hasn't left the research institute."

"I have a way."

Zhao Changhe was taken aback.

Then he burst into laughter.

"good!"

"I love that spirit of yours!"

Go!

"The military region awaits your good news!"

soon.

The transport plane takes off.

It flew towards the northwest.

......

at the same time.

Thousands of kilometers away.

Northwest Military Industry Research Institute.

The laboratory building has three floors.

In an old laboratory.

Shen Weidong was sitting at his desk.

A notice was placed in front of me.

Decision on Suspending the High-Frequency Heat-Resistant Alloy Project.

Black and white on white paper.

It was extremely glaring.

Three years of hard work.

A notice.

It's all gone.

Several researchers in the laboratory also looked gloomy.

"Engineer Shen."

"How about we change direction?"

"yes."

"There's no point in continuing."

"The higher-ups don't support it anymore."

Listening to these words.

Shen Weidong did not answer.

He just silently looked out the window.

no one knows.

He understood the value of his research better than anyone else.

High-frequency communication.

Radar system.

Avionics.

Future development of the military industry.

Upgrading materials is unavoidable.

The issue is.

He couldn't produce any results.

To be precise.

They simply cannot produce results quickly enough.

National resources are limited.

Every penny must be spent wisely.

No one will wait indefinitely for a project with no hope of success.

At this time.

The laboratory door was suddenly pushed open.

A staff member walked in quickly.

"Engineer Shen."

"The director has called a meeting."

Shen Weidong stood up.

He nodded slowly.

"understood."

Ten minutes later.

meeting room.

Almost all of the institute's key leaders were present.

The atmosphere was somewhat serious.

Director Wang Deshan sat in the main seat.

His expression was complicated.

"Old Shen."

"I have some news to tell you."

Shen Weidong said calmly.

"Has the project been completely cancelled?"

Many people lowered their heads.

This result was clearly accepted by everyone.

But the next second.

Wang Deshan shook his head.

"no."

"People from the military region have arrived."

boom!

The entire conference room fell silent.

military region?

Everyone was stunned.

Wang Deshan continued.

"And the people who came were not ordinary people."

"Special Technical Advisor to the Military Region"

"Lin Jian'an".

The words fell.

The scene immediately erupted in uproar.

"Lin Jian'an?"

"Is that the young expert who solved the military region's communication problems?"

"I heard that he also solved the major case involving the Tianjin Third Machinery Factory."

"It's been going viral within the military region lately."

"Why did he come here?"

Many people looked puzzled.

Shen Weidong also frowned slightly.

He had also heard of Lin Jian'an.

In the last six months.

Within the military-industrial complex.

This name is widely known and respected.

But the two had absolutely no interaction.

Why did they come looking for me?

Just as everyone was speculating...

Suddenly, the sound of a car came from downstairs.

Several military vehicles drove into the research institute's compound.

Everyone looked out the window.

soon.

A young man got out of the car.

It was Lin Jian'an.

......

The research institute's office building.

Reception room.

The two sides met formally.

Shen Weidong looked at the young man in front of him.

His eyes held a scrutinizing gaze.

too young.

She's even younger than rumored.

If it wasn't delivered by a military vehicle.

He said he wouldn't believe anything.

Such a young man in his early twenties.

He actually became a special technical advisor to the military region.

Lin Jian'an was also observing the other party.

The system panel popped up instantly.

Name: Shen Weidong

Age: 42

[Technical Level: 95]

[Potential Level: 98]

Loyalty: 18

Status: Talented but Unappreciated

[Evaluation: A top-tier materials expert in the Republic, and a leading figure in the future of materials science.]

See the last line.

Lin Jian'an was startled.

Leading figure!

This evaluation is ridiculously high.

This indicates that the system highly values ​​this person.

No wonder it became a special talent mission.

After a while.

Shen Weidong spoke first.

"Advisor Lin."

"What do you need me for?"

Lin Jian'an didn't beat around the bush.

Let's get straight to the point.

"I need a high-frequency heat-resistant material."

"To be precise."

"It's required for a military communications project."

The voice just fell.

Shen Weidong's gaze suddenly sharpened.

"A military communications project?"

"High-frequency signal attenuation?"

Lin Jian'an smiled.

"Looks like I've found the right person."

Shen Weidong's expression instantly turned serious.

"How long does the equipment operate before problems occur?"

"About thirty minutes."

"Does the performance start to decline as the temperature rises?"

"That's right."

The air suddenly became quiet.

next second.

Shen Weidong stood up immediately.

Shock was evident in his eyes.

"really!"

"I knew it!"

"I knew this kind of problem would occur!"

He paced back and forth excitedly.

The sound grew louder and louder.

"Current materials are simply not capable of supporting high-frequency environments!"

"Those people even said I was worrying unnecessarily!"

"Now there's a problem!"

This moment.

Lin Jian'an finally understood.

Why is the system rated so highly?

Because this person really understands.

They didn't even look at the equipment.

The problem was deduced based solely on the phenomenon.

This is something that ordinary experts cannot do.

Lin Jian'an said earnestly.

"Engineer Shen."

"I'd like to see your research findings."

These words were spoken.

The meeting room suddenly fell silent.

Shen Weidong remained silent for a few seconds.

He then nodded.

"Come with me."

......

Inside the laboratory.

Numerous drawings covered the tabletop.

Various materials and data were piled up like a small mountain.

Lin Jian'an carefully examined the documents.

The more I look, the more shocked I become.

Because of these things.

This has far exceeded the current domestic average level.

Even some of the ideas.

Even by today's standards, it wouldn't be considered outdated.

In particular, a new type of heat-resistant alloy solution.

It caught Lin Jian'an's eye.

The system immediately provided a notification.

[Advanced technology discovered!]

Material maturity: 78%

[Upon completion, this will resolve a core issue in the military's communications projects!]

Lin Jian'an almost burst out laughing.

found it!

Finally found!

Just then.

Footsteps suddenly came from outside the laboratory.

Followed by.

Several people walked in.

The leader was a middle-aged cadre.

His expression was unfriendly.

"Old Shen."

"Are you showing these pieces of waste paper to others again?"

The air fell silent instantly.

Shen Weidong's face was grim.

"Deputy Director Zhang."

"Please watch your wording."

The other party sneered.

"Isn't it just waste paper?"

"Three years."

"So much money was spent."

"And the results?"

"The country's money doesn't come from thin air."

The atmosphere in the laboratory immediately became tense.

Many researchers lowered their heads.

Clearly, he's been mistreated a lot.

Lin Jian'an narrowed his eyes.

Now I finally understand why Shen Weidong has ended up like this.

Besides the project's difficulties.

There are also people sabotaging us behind our backs.

Deputy Director Zhang glanced at Lin Jian'an.

His tone was somewhat contemptuous.

"Advisor Lin."

"Young people are easily fooled."

"Just look at these things."

Don't take it too seriously.

However, the words had barely left his mouth.

Lin Jian'an slammed the blueprints onto the table.

boom!

Everyone was startled.

"Who told you this is waste paper?"

Deputy Director Zhang's face darkened.

"What do you mean?"

Lin Jian'an sneered.

"If this is all just waste paper."

"Then half of your institute's projects should go to the garbage dump."

"At least Engineer Shen knows where the problem lies."

"And you?"

"Besides cutting budgets, what else can they do?"

boom!

The entire laboratory was completely destroyed.

Nobody expected it.

Lin Jian'an is so stubborn.

They started spraying him directly in front of everyone.

Deputy Director Zhang's face turned green.

"you--"

Lin Jian'an didn't give him a chance to speak at all.

"The core challenge currently facing the military communications project."

"Engineer Shen's solution can solve the problem."

"at this point."

"I can confirm this on behalf of the project team."

"If your shortsightedness causes the project to fail..."

"Can you bear the responsibility?"

In a word.

It choked the other person to death.

Military project!

These four words carry immense weight.

Deputy Director Zhang's face turned pale and then flushed.

He was speechless for a long time.

In the end, all I could do was snort coldly.

He turned and left.

Looking at the other person's disheveled back.

Everyone in the lab felt incredibly relieved.

So cool!

these years.

This was the first time they had ever seen someone confront another person like this.

Shen Weidong stared blankly at Lin Jian'an.

For the first time, I felt a surge of emotion.

【Ding! 】

Shen Weidong's loyalty has been increased to 35!

A system notification sounded.

Lin Jian'an's lips curled up slightly.

There is a play.

......

That evening.

The institute's guesthouse.

Lin Jian'an and Shen Weidong talked until late at night.

From the perspective of materials science.

The conversation turned to the industrial system.

Development from the military industry.

They talked about the future of the country.

The more we talked...

Shen Weidong was even more shocked.

Because of this young man in front of me.

He knows far too much.

Many forward-thinking ideas.

It even gave him a sense of sudden enlightenment.

It was in the early hours of the morning.

Shen Weidong suddenly asked.

"Jian'an".

Do you think my research direction is truly valuable?

Lin Jian'an did not hesitate at all.

"Of course."

"And it is of immense value."

"The next ten years."

"Materials will determine the upper limit of industry."

"Who controls the advanced materials?"

"Whoever seizes the initiative will take control."

"Communication equipment needs it."

"Radar needs it."

"Aircraft engines need it."

"Even many cutting-edge equipment in the future will be inseparable from it."

"Engineer Shen."

"You're not studying materials."

"It's the future of the nation."

The room fell silent instantly.

Shen Weidong's eyes were a little red.

These words.

He waited for three years.

Finally, someone understands.

next second.

A system notification suddenly rang out.

【Ding! 】

[Special talent successfully recruited!]

Shen Weidong's loyalty has reached 60!

[Top talent acquired: Shen Weidong!]

[A new military-grade material technology package is being awarded!]

[Reward: 30000 points!]

[SS-rank mission progress increased by 15%!]

Current progress: 57%!

I heard the system voice.

Lin Jian'an was overjoyed.

It worked!

However, his joy was short-lived.

A new system notification suddenly appeared.

【Ding! 】

[Hidden event detected!]

[The Northwest Research Institute faces a significant risk of technical data theft!]

[Danger Level: A!]

[The target has already begun operations!]

[Theft is expected to occur within 24 hours!]

I saw the notification.

Lin Jian'an's pupils suddenly contracted.

Data stolen?

Is someone trying to steal military technology?

next second.

His gaze slowly drifted to the dark night outside the window.

A chill crept up.

It seems this trip to Northwest China will be successful.

It's far from over.

But the real big fish.

Perhaps it has only just surfaced!
