219: Chapter 220: Creating a plausible backstory for myself

Family background? Forget it. Suddenly having parents or a family would feel quite awkward, and besides, he didn't want to change his background as an orphan.

Educational history? Changing his alma mater to Harvard... didn't seem to have much point.

Professional experience? That didn't seem necessary either.

His gaze finally locked onto the "Cultural Background" item.

"System, modify my 'Cultural Background'." Jiang Jing made his decision.

[Please provide the specific background content you wish to add or modify, Host.]

Jiang Jing didn't make the changes too outrageous, simply adding: Jiang Jing displayed incredibly exaggerated intelligence as a child and possessed an abnormal talent for invention and creation, though his academic grades were mediocre.

[Background modification request received... Generating a logically closed chain of evidence... Modifying...]

[Ding! Modification complete!]

Deep within the base of the Eastern Theater Command, a private plane landed smoothly on a heavily guarded runway.

The cabin door opened, and led by Deputy Wang, a group of bigwigs stepped down the gangway with solemn expressions. General Li Zhenguo, who had been waiting there for a long time, stepped forward and gave a standard military salute.

"You've had a long journey!" General Li Zhenguo's voice sounded exceptionally loud in the empty airport.

Deputy Wang returned the salute and shook his hand firmly, his gaze sharp: "Comrade Zhenguo, let's skip the pleasantries. The situation is urgent; take us directly to the site."

"Yes! Please follow me, everyone!" General Li Zhenguo didn't waste any words and immediately stepped aside to lead the way.

The group took an internal specialized vehicle, passed through several gates, and finally arrived at the core Laboratory.

At the entrance of the Laboratory, Academician Director Qin Weiguo, along with several core researchers, had been waiting for a long time, their faces a mixture of excitement, nervousness, and immense anticipation.

"Deputy Wang, comrades, this is Academician Director Qin Weiguo," General Li Zhenguo introduced.

"Elder Qin, thank you for your hard work!" Deputy Wang stepped forward to shake hands with Elder Qin, his attitude very amiable.

Academician Qian and other Academicians from various fields who accompanied them also greeted Elder Qin one after another; they were all leading figures in the scientific community and mostly knew each other.

"It's no trouble at all. Please come in, leaders. We have just completed another preparation process and are waiting for you to witness it with your own eyes!" Elder Qin said excitedly, leading everyone into the Laboratory.

Inside the Laboratory, various high-end instruments were running quietly, and the atmosphere remained tense and orderly.

The members of the special task force, whether they understood science or not, were infected by the focused and rigorous atmosphere, and they instinctively lowered their breathing.

Under Elder Qin's direction, the researchers who had already had one experience, although nervous facing so many big figures, operated with skill and fluency.

Feeding, smelting, pressurizing, catalyzing, cooling... a series of complex and precise steps unfolded like flowing water.

Thanks to the experience from the first time, the process went much faster this time.

However, for those observing, the waiting time still felt incredibly long.

Finally, when the thin metal sheet, which shimmered with a dark silver luster and was slightly larger than the last one, was taken out, everyone's gaze focused on it!

Immediately after, this freshly baked sample was sent into the testing instrument next to it.

Density, hardness, high-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, tensile strength, fatigue resistance... data points refreshed rapidly on the big screen.

The two Academicians, Elder Qin and Academician Qian, stared intently at the screen, occasionally exchanging whispers, the light in their eyes growing brighter and brighter.

As for the other leaders who were not from a technical background, although they couldn't understand the specific parameters, they could understand the comparative data of the performance of the most advanced international materials displayed beside them.

Those comparative figures that were left far behind, those values that broke through limits, were like heavy hammers striking everyone's hearts!

"This... this hardness! It's four times that of diamond?!"

"The preliminary observation of the melting point exceeds 5000°C?! How is this possible?!"

"Tensile strength... this... this has already exceeded the maximum range of this instrument! We need to replace it with higher-level equipment to measure it accurately!"

"My god... this data... it's terrifying!"

The researchers' suppressed exclamations rose and fell one after another.

When the final comprehensive test report was printed and handed to every leader, despite having been mentally prepared, there was still a collective gasp in the conference room!

Leading by fifty years?

This is more than just leading by fifty years!

In some key performance metrics, it's simply spanning an entire era!

Deputy Wang's hand holding the report trembled slightly, and he looked at Elder Qin and Academician Qian: "Two Academicians, is... is this data definitely correct?"

Academician Qian adjusted his glasses, his voice trembling with excitement: "Absolutely correct! Although it's only a preliminary test, it is enough to prove the subversive nature of its performance!"

"Old Qin is right. The emergence of this material will completely change the rules of the game in many fields!"

Elder Qin excitedly took over the conversation, pointing to the data and process flow chart on the report, and explained to the leaders: "Leaders, please look. The most ingenious part of this process lies in its adjustability!"

"By adjusting the raw material ratio and energy injection parameters, we can precisely control the performance strength of the final product, just like tuning a spectrum!"

"From civilian grade, which can be used for car frames and mobile phone shells, to military grade for aerospace and aircraft carrier decks, it can cover almost every aspect of the national economy and national defense construction!"

He became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he had already seen countless application scenarios: "If fighter jets use it, they can be lighter, faster, and have better stealth!"

"If spacecraft use it, they can carry more payload and fly further!"

"If submarines use it, they can dive deeper!"

"And even... it can even be used to build unprecedented super-structures!"

Listening to the grand blueprint described by Elder Qin, and looking at the solid, heart-shaking data report in their hands, all the bigwigs were surging with emotion and could hardly contain themselves.

"Good! Very good!" Deputy Wang slapped the table heavily, his face brimming with unprecedented excitement, "This is a great fortune for the country! A fortune for the nation!"

After the excitement came extreme calmness and caution.

Such a national treasure must have a foolproof plan.

Deputy Wang looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice: "This is not the place to talk. Let's go to the conference room."

The group immediately moved to the highest-level classified conference room inside the base.

After seating themselves, the meeting went straight to the topic.

Regarding the application and development planning of the material itself, it was actually relatively simple.

Everyone agreed to immediately launch the highest level of confidentiality and industrial layout.

According to the grades divided in the process, they would work on both sides simultaneously; the civilian part would be released cautiously, using specific points to drive the overall industrial level.

The military part would concentrate resources to prioritize meeting urgent national defense needs, especially in fields like aerospace, deep sea, and new types of equipment.

The focus of the discussion soon shifted to the provider of the material—Jiang Jing.
