Chapter 272 Are you ready to witness a miracle?

"Regarding the new energy project that the country is currently tackling, I have some new ideas and progress on my end."

"However, once this technology is unveiled, the shock it causes may be far more intense, and the potential risks are extremely high."

"To ensure the safety of the technology and the relevant personnel, I need you to dispatch absolutely reliable troops to the Research Institute to execute the highest level of security and takeover missions."

Commander Zhao Tieshan on the other end of the phone fell silent for a few seconds.

If any other Academician or expert had said this, he might have deliberated a bit.

But the person speaking was Jiang Jing.

This man, who had repeatedly created miracles, had already been listed by the highest authorities as a national treasure among national treasures.

And he had won great favor from the military through practical actions, such as the free donation of Prosthetic limbs.

Commander Zhao Tieshan's voice instantly became incomparably serious: "Comrade Jiang Jing, are you sure about what you said..."

"I am sure." Jiang Jing's answer was resolute and decisive. "Its significance is enough to allow us to occupy an absolute dominant position in future energy competition!"

"Good, I understand." Commander Zhao Tieshan no longer hesitated and immediately issued the order.

Hanging up the phone, Jiang Jing returned it to the shocked Academician Chen.

Everyone realized that an event worthy of being recorded in history was about to happen here.

The area where the Research Institute was located already belonged to the key defense zone of the Central Theater Command and was not far from the theater headquarters.

Less than half an hour after Jiang Jing hung up the phone, the roar of engines and the sound of well-trained footsteps came from outside the window.

Looking through the window, one could see that the entire Research Institute compound had been quickly surrounded and controlled by a well-equipped troop.

All entrances and exits were guarded, and the security level was instantly raised to the highest level.

There was even the faint sound of helicopters hovering and patrolling in the sky.

Soon, a middle-aged officer with the rank of general on his shoulders and a steady aura strode into the Research Institute, escorted by a team of elite soldiers.

The person who arrived was none other than the political commissar of the Central Theater Command.

Someone like Commander Zhao Tieshan was the core of a major military region and, unless in extreme circumstances, would usually not easily leave his command position.

Political Commissar Wang Jianguo met briefly with Jiang Jing, Elder Qin, and others; without any superfluous small talk, he went straight to the point.

"Comrade Jiang Jing, Elder Qin, the situation has already been reported to me."

"Please rest assured, no matter the circumstances, the country is your strongest backing!"

"We will absolutely not allow any force or anyone to threaten the safety of you and this technology!"

Jiang Jing nodded and, without further ado, went straight into work mode.

"Elder Qin, Academician Chen, please help me prepare the following materials and equipment immediately..."

Jiang Jing reeled off a list of materials and equipment.

Although Elder Qin and Academician Chen were filled with great curiosity and doubt, they had unconditional trust in Jiang Jing at this moment.

They immediately arranged for personnel themselves, prepared everything Jiang Jing needed at the fastest speed, and cleared out a top-spec Laboratory for his use.

In the center of the Laboratory, Jiang Jing sat before a specially made high-performance computer, his hands turning into blurs on the keyboard once again.

On the screen, countless dazzling lines of code flashed by.

After a long time, when Jiang Jing finally pressed the Enter key and imported the compiled system program into a blank chip, everyone held their breath.

Next, Jiang Jing began to direct the top engineers and technical workers in the Research Institute to process and manufacture the engine's casing, base frame, pipes, and some non-core transmission components according to his requirements.

Although these parts had high technical requirements, they were still within the scope that the existing industrial system could understand and support.

As for the most core components, they were entirely handled by Jiang Jing himself, using the most precise instruments in the Laboratory.

His movements were smooth and precise, as if he had practiced them thousands of times, and he knew every detail like the back of his hand.

The people around him, from Political Commissar Wang Jianguo, Elder Qin, and Academician Chen, to the researchers, engineers, and security personnel below, all quietly gathered around the perimeter of the Laboratory.

Their gazes tightly followed every one of Jiang Jing's movements.

No one urged him, no one questioned him; there was only the slight humming of various instruments and equipment running and the short, intermittent instructions issued by Jiang Jing.

Time passed minute by minute; from the afternoon until nightfall, the Laboratory was brightly lit.

Everyone forgot their fatigue and hunger, all immersed in the anticipation of witnessing the birth of a miracle.

They watched with their own eyes as a pile of scattered materials and components finally turned into a silver-gray device with a sleek design full of futuristic technological appeal.

It was small in size and compact in structure, with some incomprehensible interfaces and sensors arranged on its surface, and the whole thing exuded a cold and mysterious aura.

When Jiang Jing connected the last energy conduit and completed the final sealing and fixing, he let out a long sigh of relief.

Straightening his waist, his eyes were startlingly bright.

He gently patted the device, his voice clearly spreading throughout the quiet Laboratory: "Mission accomplished!"

This sound, like a thunderclap, suddenly pulled everyone back to reality from their state of bated breath and immersion!

Elder Qin was the first to be unable to hold back, asking urgently: "Jiang Jing, what exactly is this??"

Jiang Jing did not answer directly but instead revealed a mysterious smile.

He walked over to the table beside him and picked up an ordinary glass containing more than half a cup of water.

Carrying this glass of water, he walked to the side of that strangely shaped silver-gray engine, his gaze sweeping over every face filled with confusion around him.

The corners of his mouth hooked into an arc, and his voice was not loud, but it struck everyone's heart like a heavy hammer: "Everyone, are you... ready to witness a miracle?"

Under the unblinking gaze of everyone, Jiang Jing tilted his wrist slightly and slowly poured the glass of water into an inconspicuous injection port on the side of the engine.

The moment the water touched the special material at the bottom— "Hum..."

An extremely low-pitched, yet unusually stable and pleasant humming sound rang out.

That silver-gray, strangely shaped engine seemed to have been instantly injected with a soul; the core components inside began to rotate at high speed at a rate difficult for the naked eye to capture.

There was no harsh noise, no choking smoke; there was only a low rhythm containing powerful strength echoing in the Laboratory.

"It... it moved! It really moved!"

"My God! It really started operating!"

"No fuel! No electricity! Just... just a glass of water?!"
