14: Warwick engineers were stunned! A spy had been discovered!

Xia Academy of Sciences.

External Personnel Reception Room.

After the Huawei Engineer team arrived, they were arranged to rest here briefly.

Following this, a staff member walked in holding a stack of non-disclosure agreements.

“Everyone, please sign this non-disclosure agreement!”

“What? We have to sign an NDA?”

The Huawei Engineers were filled with surprise.

They hadn't expected that merely coming for technical exchange would require signing a non-disclosure agreement.

It seemed the Xia Academy of Sciences clearly placed extremely high importance and strict confidentiality requirements on this exchange.

They likely planned to arrange for a relatively high-profile technical expert to conduct the exchange.

They were extremely familiar with non-disclosure agreements.

Working at Huawei, they also had to sign NDAs every year.

If they participated in a critical project, they would have to sign additional ones.

The Huawei Engineers took the NDA and frowned upon reading it.

The requirements within the agreement were extremely strict; violation would lead directly to incarceration!

But no one raised any objections, and they all signed their names on the non-disclosure agreement.

After all, they wouldn't violate the contents of the agreement.

Naturally, there was no need to worry!

The staff member collected the signed agreements and said with a smile, “Thank you for your cooperation. Please follow me to the conference room!”

Having said that, the staff member led the way out.

Soon, they arrived at a conference room.

“Please wait a moment; the technical expert will arrive shortly!”

The Engineer leading the Huawei team was surnamed Zhang and was the technical director of Huawei Terminal.

“Everyone, please sit down!”

“Everyone, please be polite later!”

They had only just sat down.

Li Jianguo walked into the laboratory with Lin Chen.

Engineer Zhang quickly stood up and greeted respectfully, “Academician Li! Hello!”

The other Engineers also followed suit and greeted them.

Li Jianguo smiled and waved his hand, “No need to be polite, everyone please sit down!”

Then, he introduced Lin Chen to them, “This is the Chief Technical Designer responsible for the exchange with you this time, Lin Chen!”

“What?” Engineer Zhang's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

He had originally thought that an experienced, highly qualified veteran expert would come for the exchange.

He never expected that the Lin Chen in front of him, who looked so young, would be the Chief Technical Designer responsible for this exchange.

The other Engineers were also filled with shock and disbelief.

Lin Chen looked far too young compared to them.

He was about the same age as those graduates who had just left campus.

Although he was handsome, how could someone this age become the Chief Technical Designer of the Xia Academy of Sciences?

Absurd!

No wonder they were required to sign a non-disclosure agreement.

Now they finally understood what was going on.

Engineer Zhang was the first to recover from his shock.

Although his heart was full of doubts, he still politely extended his hand: “Chief Designer Lin, hello. It's a pleasure to exchange ideas with you.”

Seeing this, the other Engineers also suppressed the surprise on their faces and shook hands with Lin Chen one by one to greet him.

Lin Chen responded with a smile, his demeanor revealing a composure and confidence that belied his age.

“Everyone, please sit.”

“Let's start right away. What technical problems are you encountering?”

Lin Chen didn't want to waste time.

The sooner he solved Huawei's problem, the sooner he could return to his own work.

“Chief Designer Lin, we are having issues with the matching between the system and the chip. The data is here!”

Engineer Zhang quickly opened his laptop and pushed it toward Lin Chen.

“Let me see.” Lin Chen took the laptop, glanced at it, and immediately knew the problem.

“This part is wrong.”

“The connection point between the quantum chip and the phone...”

Upon hearing this, Engineer Zhang suddenly widened his eyes.

He quickly leaned in to look, growing more shocked the more he saw. “That's right! Why didn't we think of that?”

Lin Chen pointed to another spot, “And here, the quantum chip...”

Lin Chen typed code while speaking!

The Huawei Engineers gathered around, watching intently!

They didn't even blink!

At first, they were frowning!

Later, their eyes gradually widened!

Finally, someone couldn't help but pull out a notebook and quickly jot things down.

“So this is how you can write the driver!”

“This underlying logic is much simpler than we thought, we just couldn't find the entry point!”

“Chief Designer Lin's skill level is simply divine!”

The sounds of admiration grew louder.

Their eyes were filled with respect.

There was no longer any trace of their previous skepticism.

Lin Chen finished modifying the last line of code and clicked run.

The error code on the screen disappeared, replaced by the message of successful adaptation.

The entire conference room instantly fell silent.

A few seconds later!

Engineer Zhang was the first to react, his voice excited:

“It worked! It really worked! Chief Designer Lin, you are incredible!”

“It took us days and nights of effort, and you solved it in half an hour!”

Lin Chen waved his hand and said modestly, “I just found the right direction.”

“Go back and thoroughly understand the logic I wrote, and the subsequent adaptation for other models will be fine.”

Engineer Zhang thanked him excitedly, “Understood, thank you, Chief Designer Lin!”

“By the way, do you want to adapt to the new battery right now?” Lin Chen suddenly asked.

“What? You've developed the new battery?” Engineer Zhang was shocked.

He knew about the new battery project!

Didn't they just start the project?

How many days had passed since then?

They actually succeeded in developing it!

Since when was the Xia Academy of Sciences this absurdly fast?

It was like using cheats.

Lin Chen nodded, “It has already passed testing. If you want to adapt to it, we can provide you with samples!”

“Yes! We want them!” Engineer Zhang agreed immediately without any hesitation.

Anything produced by the Xia Academy of Sciences must be good!

Furthermore, it came out alongside the quantum chip.

It must be a groundbreaking product!

It was a great honor for Huawei to be able to use it.

Soon, a staff member brought over five battery samples.

“This is our newly developed Solid-State Magnetic Field Battery!”

“I will have someone send you a copy of its specific parameters and performance later.”

“Mass production of the battery has already begun.”

“After you return, please complete the adaptation as quickly as possible, striving to get the new phone launched and sold at the fastest speed!”

After Lin Chen handed the batteries to Engineer Zhang, he offered a few more instructions.

“Understood, Chief Designer Lin! We promise not to let you down!” Engineer Zhang solemnly guaranteed.

Next, Lin Chen explained a few more details they needed to pay attention to during the matching process, then left to attend to his own work.

The Huawei team also hurriedly left the Xia Academy of Sciences with the five new batteries.

On the way back.

The Huawei Engineers were still filled with excitement.

“Solid-State Magnetic Field Battery?”

“Just hearing the name, it must be another groundbreaking product!”

“Haha, our Huawei must have hit the jackpot this year, securing two technical supports from the Xia Academy of Sciences in succession.”

“This year might be the year our Huawei Terminal returns to its peak!”

“Let's go!”

All the Huawei Engineers were full of drive.

At the same time, they sincerely admired Lin Chen.

They deeply remembered Chief Designer Lin's teachings.

“All of you, remember this!” Engineer Zhang said with a serious expression, “Forget everyone you saw today. You cannot reveal this to anyone, not even your spouse! Do you understand?”

“Understood!”

All the Engineers solemnly promised.

Moreover, they had already signed the non-disclosure agreement.

They dared not violate the stipulations of the non-disclosure agreement... Lin Chen returned to his office.

He opened his phone, intending to read some news before working.

Suddenly, a breaking news video caught his attention.

He clicked on it and instantly frowned deeply.

News video content:

“This afternoon, in the garage of a certain residential community, a new energy vehicle suddenly caught fire due to its battery. The fire spread to surrounding vehicles, resulting in the destruction of eight cars and minor injuries to two people.”

“Currently, the cause of the fire is under investigation.”

In the video footage, the charred car wreckage was blackened, and firefighters were still clearing the scene.

The comment section below the video completely exploded.

“Another new energy vehicle fire! That's terrifying!”

“I originally wanted to switch to a new energy vehicle, but now I'm scared. What if it catches fire while parked downstairs one day?”

“Why are domestic batteries so unreliable? It's safer to buy a gasoline car!”

Almost all the comments were negative!

Some people even began to question domestic new energy vehicle technology.

Lin Chen looked at these comments, his gaze gradually hardening.

“It seems the car battery project must also be accelerated!”

Incidents like this would cause the public to reject new energy electric vehicles.

If these types of problems were not resolved soon,

subsequent similar incidents would obstruct the nation's strategic energy transition.

It might even trigger a general crisis of public trust in new energy technology.

Therefore, the Xuanwu Car Battery must be launched as soon as possible.

Only then could they win back the trust of the Chinese people.

Lin Chen just didn't know.

The matter of the Huawei technical team visiting the Xia Academy of Sciences had already been noticed by a spy dispatched by Yīngjiàng.
