Chapter 1340: Crazy for the Rise of the Motherland
After entering the laboratory, the scene before my eyes was like a tense and depressing picture.
All staff members were immersed in data verification, and a solemn atmosphere permeated the laboratory. Working in pairs or small groups of three or five, they enthusiastically discussed various data and theories, their faces filled with concentration and exhaustion.
From time to time, someone comes up with some novel ideas to try to break the current predicament, but more often than not, everyone is shrouded in sorrow.
"The data is always a little off, but we can't find the reason." A young researcher wearing thick glasses shook his head helplessly and sighed heavily.
In the long journey of scientific research, such bottlenecks are all too common.
Sometimes, a seemingly insignificant data deviation may become a huge obstacle on the road to progress.
Once the key to the problem is identified, a major breakthrough may be achieved; however, if you are stuck at a certain link, it may take months or even years to make any substantial progress. Even more frustrating is that some difficult problems may be passed down like a baton, becoming a heavy challenge for the next generation of researchers to face.
"The chief engineer has been so kind to us. Not only has he solved our problems, but he's also given us such a generous reward. We must quickly identify the cause and develop new materials." Another young researcher clenched his fists, his eyes revealing a fierce determination. His words carried a sense of urgency that hadn't been there before.
Now, under Chen Jun's encouragement, everyone seems to feel an invisible force urging them on from behind, and they dare not stop for a moment. Everyone is eager to contribute their own strength to scientific research and live up to Chen Jun's expectations.
At that moment, a steady and resolute voice boomed from behind them: "That's not the problem. The materials here deviate from the formula's requirements and need to be reconfigured." Everyone turned to see Chen Jun approaching with steady, powerful steps. His gaze was sharp and focused, scanning the surrounding equipment and data. He gently tapped the outer wall of the machine, making a dull sound. The sound was like a wake-up call, instantly shattering the sullen atmosphere in the lab and awakening those who were whispering to each other.
In the eyes of many young researchers, the million-yuan bonus awarded by Chen Jun was like a timely rain, brimming with life's thirst. The money allowed them to stand up straight in front of their families, girlfriends, and fiancées.
In the past, due to low salaries, they always seemed a little insecure when facing the pressure of life. Now, with this generous reward, their lives have changed dramatically, and they are more motivated to work, as if they are full of endless energy.
At this point, after a day and night of deep integration of knowledge in the field of mechanization, Chen Jun had perfectly combined theory and practice. He could be said to have become a master in this field, able to accurately identify problems at a glance. His brain was like a high-speed supercomputer, able to quickly analyze all kinds of complex data and information and identify the key problems hidden within.
"Chief Engineer!" Everyone greeted him, their eyes filled with respect and anticipation. They were filled with hope for Chen Jun's arrival, as if they had seen a glimmer of hope for a solution to their problem. Then, they looked in the direction Chen Jun pointed, observing carefully and quickly discovering some clues.
It was found that the material parameters of a certain component on the machine were slightly different from those required by the equation. This seemingly insignificant problem may be the key to data deviation.
In just a few minutes, they quickly replaced the device and restarted the engine. A humming sound suddenly filled the lab, and everyone stared nervously at the various instruments and data displays. Sure enough, the machine was operating normally, and all the data were within reasonable ranges. The entire process went smoothly, without any of the previous problems.
"Chief Engineer, you saw the key to the problem so quickly. That's truly remarkable! You truly embody the spirit of Professor Qian." One researcher couldn't help but exclaim, his eyes filled with admiration. His comparison of Chen Jun to past scientific sages wasn't without basis. He considered Chen Jun, like Professor Qian, to possess exceptional wisdom and keen insight, able to quickly find breakthroughs in complex scientific challenges. Professor Xu and the other three veteran professors initially thought Chen Jun was just making a casual remark, but they never imagined his judgment to be so accurate. They themselves hadn't immediately grasped the problem, which truly astonished them.
"This General Chen is truly remarkable. I never thought he had the ability to solve problems." Old Xu marveled inwardly, but at the same time, he couldn't help but wonder, "Hasn't he always been an expert in the field of fighter jets? How did he become so proficient in missiles? Could he really have achieved such success across industries?"
"I don't have a major. I study whatever the country needs." Chen Jun keenly noticed the doubt in the three veteran professors' eyes and told them directly, "I have always had a strong interest in missiles. After all, missiles are powerful weapons of great powers. Therefore, my achievements in missiles should be as good as those in fighter jets."
"Let's go, let's continue to inspect other laboratories and see if they need help too." After Chen Jun finished speaking, he took firm steps and prepared to set off.
"Made..."
"Fuck..."
"That's fine..."
The three old professors were full of envy. What Chen Jun said sounded so "domineering". "Study whatever major the country needs". It is easy to say, but it is not easy to do it, unless you are a pervert among geniuses.
However, in the following time, they fully witnessed what a perverted genius was.
Chen Jun led them through the various laboratories, much like a chief physician making rounds in a hospital, offering his insights wherever he went. In each lab, he carefully observed the equipment, reviewed various data and charts, and engaged in in-depth discussions with the researchers.
The key is that he can always see the problem at a glance, whether it is a potential defect in the equipment, a subtle flaw in the material, or an error in the equation for burning gunpowder, he can point it out accurately.
In a laboratory studying missile propulsion systems, Chen Jun looked at the running engine, frowned slightly, and said after thinking for a moment: "There is a problem with the fuel injection system of this engine. The injection angle and frequency are not accurate enough, which will affect the propulsion efficiency of the missile. The injection device needs to be adjusted according to this parameter." After hearing this, the researchers immediately checked and adjusted according to Chen Jun's suggestions. After some operations, the engine's operating efficiency was indeed significantly improved.
In another laboratory focused on missile materials research, Chen Jun picked up a piece of a new experimental material, examined it carefully, and said, "While this material has good toughness, its high-temperature resistance isn't good enough. When missiles fly at high speeds, they encounter extremely high temperatures, which this material may not be able to withstand. We need to add some special elements to the formula to enhance its high-temperature resistance." The researchers were skeptical of Chen Jun's suggestion, but decided to give it a try. After several tests, they found that the improved material, based on Chen Jun's suggestions, had significantly improved its high-temperature resistance, fully meeting the requirements for missile use.
Each time, Chen Jun's suggestions amazed everyone. Time and again, his judgments proved completely correct. This left all the researchers in awe, their hearts filled with admiration and shock beyond words.
It's undeniable that Chen Jun's initial move of offering everyone a million-dollar bonus proved remarkably effective. Otherwise, as a newly appointed chief engineer, even his most capable colleagues might not have immediately listened to his advice and implemented corrective measures. But now, with the researchers' concerns resolved, everyone is eager to validate his ideas. As one problem after another was confirmed and solved, the three elderly men following Chen Jun gradually shifted their perspectives, from initial skepticism to a trio of devoted fans. Their star-struck enthusiasm was palpable in the way they gazed at the back of Chen Jun's head.
"Oh my god, how can there be such a genius in the world? He is simply the perfect idol in our hearts and a superstar in the field of scientific research!"
“Must chase stars!”
Everyone sighed in their hearts.
"The last lab, Chief Engineer! You've truly opened my eyes. These labs cover diverse fields. Even the three of us couldn't master all of them, especially missiles. But you can. I almost wonder if you've time-traveled from the future." Elder Xu sighed with emotion, his tone tinged with the vicissitudes of life. The three of them were considered geniuses among geniuses in their research, but compared to Chen Jun, the gap was stark. The saying "every profession has its specialization" didn't seem to apply to Chen Jun, as he seemed to possess a mastery of every discipline, a truly astonishing feat.
"A time traveler from the future?" Chen Jun coughed upon hearing this, his expression slightly awkward. This was an inexplicable proposition, so he feigned modesty and made no reply, heading straight for the final lab.
In the last laboratory, Chen Jun put forward a shocking suggestion. He actually wanted to overturn all the theories that all laboratories had been following and start research again.
"This... all theories are overturned? Then wouldn't all our previous efforts have been in vain? Could it be that we've been wrong all along?" a senior professor cautiously raised his question. It wasn't that he was resentful of Chen Jun; after all, the million-dollar prize Chen Jun awarded him had helped him secure marriages for his children and grandchildren. In the past, his son and grandchildren complained about his lack of time spent home, devoting himself entirely to research. Now, with the money, family relationships have become incredibly harmonious, with his son and grandchildren calling him "Dad" and "Grandpa" with such warmth. Times have changed, and the professor had to admit that, in real life, without money, it's truly difficult to have dignity.
"There's nothing wrong with your previous research; it's just that we need to refine our existing theories. You can try out new ideas first. If they work, continue using them. If they don't work, or you're not comfortable with them, make other plans." Chen Jun didn't dwell on the issue too much. He knew that scientists have their own egos, so he could only offer indirect suggestions and offer a few suggestions. Fortunately, his million-dollar prize was a powerful stepping stone, paving the way for the new theory to be promoted.
That same day, the scientists eagerly tested their new theory. The lab was bustling with activity, with everyone collaborating and working diligently on various experiments. Just half an hour after Chen Jun left, the entire lab erupted in cheers.
"Success! Success! According to the chief engineer's suggestion, the new theory is completely feasible!" a researcher shouted excitedly.
Once again, Chen Jun's judgment proved correct. He seemed to possess a magical ability, rarely making mistakes and always guiding everyone on the right path in scientific research.
For the next week, Chen Jun stayed put in the lab, meticulously inspecting every corner each day and offering timely, guiding advice. Eventually, a habit developed within each lab: whenever a problem arose, the chief engineer would be the first person they turned to. Everyone knew Chen Jun was a capable person, and he could truly solve any problem.
Gradually, even the three veteran scientists, including Professor Xu, were left out. However, as die-hard fans of Chen Jun, they had no problem with this and actually enjoyed it. They willingly buried themselves in their own research, leaving all the opportunities for the spotlight to Chen Jun.
While Chen Jun was frantically experimenting with the development of his hacker missile, far away on the high seas of the Pacific, aircraft carriers advanced with overwhelming force. The fleet resembled a rolling steel fortress, their hulls gleaming with a cold light under the sunlight. Their speed was neither fast nor slow, yet it stirred up a massive storm on a calm sea, drawing widespread global attention.
Yan Country's aircraft carriers had always only taken action in protests, but never before had they sailed to the high seas on such a large scale, steadily advancing towards the United States. This unprecedented move instantly became the focus of global media, with countless eyes fixed on the aircraft carrier sailing on the sea. The world was speculating about Yan Country's intentions, and public opinion was rampant.
Western media outlets published a variety of comments, some maliciously speculating that Yan was showing off its military might, while others claimed that Yan's actions undermined the international order. Within Yan, however, the public was eagerly anticipating the aircraft carrier's actions, hoping they would symbolize the country's strength and safeguard its dignity and interests on the international stage.
In the labs at the Dragon Vessel Base, the atmosphere was as tense as a volcano about to erupt, the undercurrents no less turbulent than those of an aircraft carrier on the sea. Chen Jun knew better than anyone that the hacker missile must be successfully developed before the aircraft carrier reached the United States' borders in order to maximize its strategic significance. Otherwise, this nationwide operation would likely fail to effectively deter the enemy, making maintaining peace even more difficult. As the saying goes, "One strike is enough to prevent a hundred blows from coming." This was a race against time.
"All reports and public opinions are controlled by Western countries. The current situation is very unfavorable to us, and I don't have much time left." Chen Jun looked out the window, feeling a lot of emotions in his heart.
The scenery outside the window remained the same, but his heart was filled with a sense of urgency. He knew that in this battle between scientific research and time, every minute and every second was crucial.
He then resolutely turned around and threw himself back into the intense and challenging scientific research work, shuttling between various laboratories, discussing problems with researchers, analyzing data, and conducting experiments.
Three more days passed, and it had been half a month since Chen Jun entered the base.
At this time, the outbound aircraft carrier was still cruising the vast ocean, carrying the will of a great power, like a silent yet powerful guardian. The whole world was wondering whether Yan State would "fight or not."
At this moment, the faces of all the scientists in the Dragon Vessel Base were filled with excitement, just like fathers who were about to welcome a new life, waiting anxiously and excitedly outside the laboratory.
Chen Jun was no exception. His eyes were also full of anticipation, as if the "child" they had conceived together - the hacker missile, was about to be born.
