34: Project Suzaku is here!

Not long after.

An urgent knock sounded at Dean Li's office door.

"Dean Li, Security Bureau's Zhang Junfei."

Li Jianguo quickly opened the door.

Outside the door stood five people in black training uniforms, their epaulets glinting coldly.

Zhang Junfei held a black folder in his hand and entered the room without a trace of a smile.

"Chief Designer Lin, Dean Li."

He first nodded to the two of them.

Then, he spoke sternly to Engineer Wang and the others:

"Everyone, we have received an order from the Great Chief!"

"The Anti-gravity Plasma Engine technology is to be kept under the highest level of secrecy."

That's right, he had reported the news to the Great Chief before coming.

He received the latest instruction: The Anti-gravity Plasma Engine project must be kept under the highest level of secrecy!

This is the highest level of secrecy.

It is only used for projects and events that involve the fate of the nation.

Now, Lin Chen's identity is under the highest level of secrecy.

Outside, no one can find out Lin Chen's true identity.

Engineer Wang and the others were immediately shocked when they heard this.

They realized that the importance of this technology far exceeded their imagination.

Zhang Junfei continued sternly:

"Next, please cooperate by registering your identity information!"

"We need to check three generations of family background!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the people behind him immediately stepped forward and pulled out tablet computers.

Then they went to register Engineer Wang and the others.

Engineer Wang was stunned for a moment, then quickly tapped on the screen with his fingers.

He remembered that his son was studying at a university in the country, and his parents were elderly retired workers, so he had no worries.

Other Engineers also registered one after another.

Some were so nervous that sweat beaded on their foreheads.

It wasn't that they were worried about problems being found in their background checks.

Rather, it was their first time encountering such a situation, and they were instinctively nervous!

Until they saw the 'background check passed' prompt.

They all breathed a sigh of relief.

This meant they could participate in this top-secret project.

Zhang Junfei picked up the printed confidentiality agreements.

Each one was stamped with the red seal of the Security Bureau.

"Good, your background checks are all clear."

"Next, sign the confidentiality agreement!"

His tone was calm, yet it carried an undeniable authority.

Engineer Wang was the first to take the lead, picking up the confidentiality agreement and signing it.

Without the slightest hesitation.

When the last person finished signing.

Li Jianguo suddenly spoke: "Old Zhang, I need to hold an emergency expert meeting."

"It's already arranged." Zhang Junfei nodded, "The conference room is cleared, all irrelevant personnel have been evacuated, and signal shielding is activated."

Lin Chen quietly watched them handle it.

In his heart, he was already thinking about how to maximize the value of this technology.

Large aircraft, fighter jets, and rockets could all use this engine.

It could completely fill the gap in the domestic aerospace engine field, surpassing all countries on Blue Star... Half an hour later.

The top-floor conference room of the Xia Academy of Sciences.

More than thirty white-haired experts and Academicians filled the room.

Almost everyone's face was filled with doubt.

"Old Zhao, what emergency project is it this time?"

An old expert asked his colleague next to him.

The expert named Old Zhao shook his head:

"I don't know either, I just came directly after receiving the notice!"

The other old experts and Academicians looked at each other.

They wanted to discern something from the expressions of others.

But to their disappointment, almost everyone had a puzzled expression.

At this moment.

Li Jianguo and Lin Chen walked in.

Instantly, all eyes were on Lin Chen.

"Chief Designer Lin?"

"Why is he here?"

"Could this project be related to him?"

All the experts and Academicians showed surprised expressions.

Lin Chen's name was well-known to them.

Almost all projects related to Lin Chen were important projects.

Lin Chen's appearance meant that there might be a new technology to be approved.

Thinking of this, all the experts and Academicians became excited.

Their eyes, looking at Lin Chen, were filled with fervor!

Lin Chen found his seat and sat down.

Li Jianguo walked to the podium.

He tapped the microphone, his voice serious:

"Everyone, two things to announce before the meeting."

"First, from now on, all engine research and development projects for active fighter jets, large aircraft, and rockets are suspended!"

"Including subsequent improvements to the WS-15."

"What?" The audience instantly erupted.

An old expert suddenly stood up: "Dean Li! The WS-15 is about to be finalized, how can it be stopped?"

"If it stops, what about our large aircraft? Are we waiting for foreign countries to choke us?" another voice followed.

Then, one by one, they all stood up and voiced their opposition.

The WS-15 project was the result of their painstaking efforts.

It was almost finalized.

Now they say they want to suspend it?

Isn't this asking for their lives?

They firmly opposed it.

Even if it cost them their old lives, they would protect the WS-15 project.

At this moment, those old experts and Academicians had even prepared for the worst.

Lin Chen, watching this scene from the side, was filled with emotion.

It was because of these old experts and Academicians.

They dedicated their youth and passion to the nation's scientific and technological endeavors.

It was precisely because of their persistence that Great Xia's technology has soared today.

Lin Chen felt sincere admiration for them.

Li Jianguo looked at the emotional experts below, raised his hand and gestured for quiet.

He looked at Lin Chen, then slowly spoke:

"Everyone, don't get excited!"

"Since I said these projects are tentatively suspended, it is naturally because there is better alternative technology!"

"Xiao Lin, I'll leave it to you now."

Lin Chen stood up, holding a black USB drive in his hand.

He plugged the USB drive into the computer, and the screen instantly switched.

[Anti-gravity Plasma Engine]

The words were particularly striking.

The entire room fell silent for three seconds.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Their reaction was exactly the same as Engineer Zhang's when he first saw this technology.

"What, what is this?"

"Anti-gravity? Plasma Engine?"

Someone rubbed their eyes.

They thought they had seen it wrong.

This name, at first listen, makes one think of something from a sci-fi movie!

How could it actually be brought into reality?

Unbelievable!

Everyone looked at Lin Chen, waiting for his explanation.

Lin Chen didn't explain much, directly opening the parameter table:

"Everyone, please look at the technical parameter list!"

"This engine has a lifespan of 100,000 hours!"

"It uses brand new super alloy materials, making it lightweight and low-cost!"

"Its thrust is 100 times that of equivalent internationally advanced aerospace engines!"

"Hiss..."

"Terrifying..."

"Outrageous..."

Everyone gasped.

Their eyes were filled with nothing but shock.

The old expert who had objected earlier pointed at the screen, unable to speak for a long time.

If this data was real.

Then Great Xia Country's aerospace field would take off immediately!

A moment later.

Those old experts and Academicians recovered from their shock.

They all began to ask questions.

"Chief Designer Lin, are you sure these parameters can really be achieved?"

A materials expert asked with a trembling voice.

Lin Chen nodded heavily, "One hundred percent!"

"Really?! That's great!"

"We finally don't have to be held back by foreign countries on cutting-edge materials!"

That materials expert was so excited that his eyes welled up.

How many years has it been!

Finally, this day has come.

He had been deeply involved in this field for decades.

He understood the hardships and bitterness better than anyone.

Sometimes, even when offering money to seek technical cooperation, he had to be humble.

And others still wouldn't agree!

Thinking of those arduous past experiences.

He couldn't help but sigh deeply, his eyes full of emotion.

Now, with this Anti-gravity Plasma Engine technology.

All difficulties and hardships would become a thing of the past.

Other experts also nodded, their faces beaming with excitement and anticipation.

Then, Lin Chen continued to answer the questions from those experts and Academicians.

Each explanation.

Filled those experts and Academicians with shock and ecstasy.

Li Jianguo watched this scene quietly from the side.

His heart was filled with emotion.

The Xia Academy of Sciences had never seen such a scene before.

Only Lin Chen could make these old fellows react so strongly.

After a long while.

Those experts and Academicians were finally convinced by Lin Chen.

The atmosphere in the conference room gradually shifted from initial skepticism and excitement to enthusiasm and anticipation.

At this moment.

Li Jianguo once again came to the podium and announced loudly:

"Next, I announce the second matter."

"The 'Vermilion Bird Project' is established, with Lin Chen as Chief Designer!"

As soon as he finished speaking.

Lin Chen stood up again, looking at the group of old experts and Academicians.

"Gentlemen!"

"The first goal of the Vermilion Bird Project!"

"Within one month, successfully build the first prototype for testing!"

Everyone had no objections.

The Vermilion Bird Project was officially established.

Lin Chen once again entered the busy project development phase.

At the same time.

Thousands of kilometers away, at the southwestern border.

The border guards also welcomed their moment of glory!
