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

Early the next morning.

Northwest Military Industry Research Institute.

The news of Zhao Zhiqiang's arrest last night has spread far and wide.

The entire research institute was in an uproar.

Nobody expected it.

The deputy director, who appeared respectable on the surface, was actually selling technical data behind the scenes.

In the cafeteria.

in the office.

Inside the laboratory building.

This is being discussed everywhere.

"Have you heard?"

"Zhao Zhiqiang has been taken away!"

"They didn't just take them away; I heard they found out there are a lot of problems!"

"My God, no wonder some projects always have problems."

"So someone's been leaking information all along!"

"Fortunately, it was discovered in time."

"If it weren't for Consultant Lin, we would have suffered a huge loss."

The entire research institute today.

Mentioning the name Lin Jian'an.

Almost no one disagreed.

Especially those who participated in the arrest last night.

They all spoke of it in such a fantastical way.

"You didn't see it."

"I was startled when Zhao Zhiqiang pulled out his knife."

"As a result, Consultant Lin went up and kicked him."

"The person was sent flying!"

"Really?"

Why would I lie to you?

"The movements were as fast as in a movie!"

A gasp of surprise immediately rang out in the cafeteria.

At this time.

The research institute's conference room.

Wang Deshan, Shen Weidong, and several other responsible persons are having a meeting.

The atmosphere was noticeably more relaxed than in the previous days.

The stone pressing down on everyone's heads.

They've finally moved out.

Wang Deshan looked at Lin Jian'an.

His eyes were full of admiration.

"Jian'an".

"You've been a great help this time."

"The research institute owes you a favor."

Lin Jian'an waved his hand.

"They're all on our side."

"Of course."

Wang Deshan laughed heartily.

The more I look at this young man, the more I like him.

able.

Do not take credit.

The key is that they also understand technology.

This kind of talent.

It's a treasure no matter where you put it.

Just then.

The conference room door was suddenly pushed open.

A messenger rushed in.

"Chief!"

"Urgent telegram from the military region!"

Everyone was stunned.

Wang Deshan immediately took the document.

I only glanced at it.

His expression changed.

"What's wrong?"

Shen Weidong asked quickly.

Wang Deshan slowly raised his head.

His tone was somewhat serious.

"The review of the communications project has been brought forward."

boom!

The meeting room fell silent instantly.

Lin Jian'an frowned as well.

"How far in advance?"

"One month."

The air suddenly became heavy.

Originally, everyone had about three months left.

Now we'll cut it down by one-third.

The pressure was instantly immense.

In particular, the communications project still faces material issues.

There simply isn't enough time.

Shen Weidong's expression turned serious.

"It seems the higher-ups are in a hurry."

Wang Deshan nodded.

"It should be due to changes in the international situation."

"Otherwise, it wouldn't have been brought forward so suddenly."

Everyone understood.

That's what made the military make this decision.

This indicates that external pressure is increasing.

Thinking about this...

Lin Jian'an stood up immediately.

"We can't delay."

"I will return to Beijing today."

"Materials solutions are being developed concurrently."

Shen Weidong also got up.

"I'll go with you."

Everyone turned to look at him.

Shen Weidong said earnestly:

"I know the issues with communications projects best."

"It's no longer about helping."

"This is my project."

As soon as those words were spoken...

The meeting room fell silent immediately.

Wang Deshan looked at his old buddy.

Suddenly he laughed.

"OK."

"Go."

"The research institute is fully cooperating."

"Just apply for what you need."

Shen Weidong's eyes felt slightly hot.

For the past three years.

This is the first time anyone has supported him like this.

And all this.

All because of Lin Jian'an's arrival.

Just then.

A system notification sounded.

【Ding! 】

[Top talent Shen Weidong has officially joined the team!]

Loyalty increased to 75!

[Gain special bonus: Material research speed increased by 30%!]

[SS-rank mission progress increased to 62%!]

I saw the notification.

Lin Jian'an felt much more at ease.

Shen Weidong was finally completely bound to him.

This trip to Northwest China was a complete success.

……

That noon.

The military transport plane took off again.

It flew towards Beijing.

Inside the cabin.

Shen Weidong gazed at the clouds outside the window.

I'm still a little dazed.

In just two days.

My life has changed so drastically.

And all this.

It's all because of this young man next to me.

After a moment of silence.

He suddenly asked:

"Jian'an".

"How exactly did you figure out there was a problem with the materials?"

this problem.

He'd been holding it in for a long time.

Lin Jian'an smiled.

Of course, we can't say it's a system.

So I made up a reason on the spot.

"Judgment based on experience".

Shen Weidong's lips twitched.

Judgment based on experience?

He believes what others say.

You're a young man in your early twenties, talking about experience?

Ghosts believe.

However, he did not press the matter further.

Everyone has secrets.

Especially top talents.

There are always things that others can't understand.

A few hours later.

The plane landed at the Sijiucheng Military Region Airport.

Just got off the plane.

A military vehicle was already waiting.

The driver saluted.

"Advisor Lin."

"General Zhao instructed me to escort you directly there."

"There's been a problem with the project team."

Lin Jian'an's heart sank.

really.

The review was brought forward.

Things aren't that simple.

……

Military region laboratory.

Inside the meeting room.

The atmosphere was extremely oppressive.

Dozens of experts were present.

Many people had bloodshot eyes.

It's obvious they've been working on it for several days.

Zhao Changhe stood at the very front.

His expression was more serious than ever before.

I saw Lin Jian'an return.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

It was as if the pillar of support had finally arrived.

"Jian'an".

"You're finally back."

Chen Guoliang quickly stepped forward to greet him.

"What happened?"

Lin Jian'an asked.

Chen Guoliang gave a wry smile.

"The review process being brought forward is only one aspect."

"What's even more troublesome is..."

"The military has added new testing items."

boom!

Lin Jian'an was startled.

New test?

Zhao Changhe handed the document over directly.

"Take a look."

Lin Jian'an opened the documents.

next second.

His pupils contracted slightly.

The first page of the document had several large characters written on it.

[Extreme Environment Communication Test]

Look down.

high temperature.

severe cold.

desert.

Mountainous area.

Strong electromagnetic interference.

Continuous operation.

Each requirement is significantly higher than before.

to be honest.

This time, the military isn't just aiming for a passing grade.

Instead, it's about being excellent.

In the conference room.

Many experts looked grim.

Because of the current progress.

Even completing the original plan was a struggle.

Not to mention the many new tests added.

Just then.

Gao Wenshan spoke up.

"If the materials issue is resolved."

"Theoretically, there is a chance."

"But time is too tight."

Everyone fell silent again.

Yes.

Time is the biggest problem.

But the next second.

Shen Weidong stood up.

"Give me the materials."

brush!

Everyone looked over at the same time.

Gao Wenshan was taken aback.

"Who are you?"

Zhao Changhe introduced it directly.

"Comrade Shen Weidong."

"Materials expert."

Upon hearing this name...

Many people in the conference room had a slight change in expression.

I've obviously heard of it.

Gao Wenshan's eyes lit up.

"That high-frequency heat-resistant alloy project in Northwest China?"

"That's right."

boom!

The meeting room immediately became lively.

As a colleague.

Of course they knew Shen Weidong.

I just didn't expect it.

The military region actually poached him.

Shen Weidong didn't waste any words.

Just spread out the blueprints.

"This is an improved plan."

"If all goes well."

"The sample will be completed within twenty days."

"Performance improvement of at least 40 percent."

These words were spoken.

The entire audience gasped.

Forty percent?

This is no longer an improvement.

It is a leap forward.

Gao Wenshan snatched the blueprints away.

The more I watch, the more excited I get.

"good!"

"Very good!"

"We have this material."

"The equipment performance has been upgraded by at least one level!"

The morale of the entire project team soared instantly.

And just then...

A system voice sounded.

【Ding! 】

Key technical challenges solved!

[SS-rank mission progress increased to 70%!]

[Gained 20000 points!]

[Industrial system upgrade 30% complete!]

Lin Jian'an was overjoyed.

We are getting closer and closer to success.

……

The following days.

The project team has entered a state of full-scale wartime readiness.

Everyone lived and ate in the laboratory.

If I get sleepy, I'll take a nap in the chair.

When I get hungry, I just grab a bite at the cafeteria.

I work more than ten hours a day.

No one complained of being tired.

Because everyone knows it.

The importance of this project.

Lin Jian'an was extremely busy.

Communication module.

Control system.

Signal amplifier.

He was involved in almost every aspect of the process.

Many experts have even begun to question the meaning of life.

Because they discovered it.

It seems there's nothing Lin Jian'an can't do.

I understand communications.

I understand mechanics.

Electronics understands.

I understand the materials too.

Sometimes they can even solve problems related to the security department.

Simply outrageous.

Time flies.

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

It was late at night.

Experimental hall.

The latest prototype has finally been assembled.

Everyone gathered around the equipment.

My breathing was a little rapid.

Because this is the final prototype.

Success or failure hinges on this moment.

Zhao Changhe spoke slowly.

"Start the test."

next second.

The equipment starts up.

hum-

The familiar roar sounded.

The communication system has started operating.

One minute.

normal.

ten minutes.

normal.

One hour.

Everything is still normal.

The various parameters are incredibly stable.

The smiles on everyone's faces grew wider and wider.

However, at that moment...

The alarm lights suddenly came on.

Drop drop-

The expressions on everyone's faces changed drastically!

"What's going on?"

"Is there a malfunction?"

"Check it quickly!"

Everyone rushed to the control panel instantly.

The atmosphere became tense again.

At that moment, a system notification sounded.

[An anomaly detected!]

The source of the anomaly is not the device!

External signal interference detected!

[Interference Level: High!]

boom!

Lin Jian'an suddenly raised his head.

External interference?

Someone is targeting the project team!

next second.

Hurried footsteps could be heard outside the laboratory.

An officer rushed into the hall.

His expression was extremely serious.

"Report!"

"The military region's security department has just detected unusual radio signals!"

"Source unknown!"

"It's suspected that someone is monitoring the experimental area!"

The air froze instantly.

Everyone's expression changed.

On the eve of the review.

Someone has actually set their sights on the communications project!

Lin Jian'an slowly narrowed his eyes.

he knows.

The real contest.

This is just the beginning.
