116: Chapter 116 Just wait and see!
The soft sound of the metal zipper being slowly pulled open was exceptionally clear in this pin-drop quiet meeting room.
Everyone's gaze was locked onto that black gap slowly widening.
Lin Yuan looked composed, reaching his hand into the canvas bag with extreme casualness and fumbling around for a few seconds.
Then, he pulled it out.
In his palm, four military-grade encrypted solid-state drives were casually placed onto the tabletop.
"Thud."
"Thud."
"Thud."
"Thud."
The four dull thuds were not heavy, yet they struck everyone's heart like a sledgehammer.
The four hard drives were lined up neatly, reflecting a cold and mysterious metallic sheen under the fluorescent ceiling lights.
Seeing this, Wei Jiancheng suddenly leaned forward, pressing both hands directly onto the edge of the table, his chest heaving violently, his eyes gleaming.
Beside him, Yang Lin also gripped the armrests, half his body off the chair, staring fixedly at the four black metal blocks.
They were all too familiar with these things.
These dark, heavy hunks of metal didn't just contain data; they were ultimate weapons capable of changing the world's landscape.
However, unlike the fanaticism of these old acquaintances.
On both sides of the long table, the technical leads from the three major telecom operators, along with senior engineers from various industrial equipment and terminal companies, turned their heads and exchanged bewildered glances.
Their faces were filled with obvious confusion and incomprehension.
Calling all the core members of the task force to this meeting room early in the morning just to watch him pull these four black hard drives out of a bag?
Lin Yuan took in the reactions of everyone in the room.
He chuckled, leaned back slightly, and tapped his long fingers casually on the hard drive at the very edge.
"Everyone must be very curious why I called you all here early in the morning and suddenly pulled out these things."
Lin Yuan leaned forward slightly, his gaze slowly sweeping across both sides of the long table.
"Actually, it's very simple."
"These hard drives are the explanation I want to give you all."
His tone shifted, unhurried yet carrying an indisputable confidence.
"I said earlier that the current digestion progress of each unit is too slow and needs to be accelerated."
"But just urging you verbally is useless."
"I'm the type of person who likes to bring out something tangible."
Lin Yuan lowered his head, his fingers sliding across the three hard drives on the left one by one, the friction of his fingertips against the metal casing making a faint sound.
"These three."
Lin Yuan tapped lightly on the three hard drives on the far left with his index finger.
The crisp tapping sound drew everyone's attention, locking it firmly onto those three metal blocks.
"Inside them is the underlying architectural data for Fifth-generation Communication base stations."
The entire room instantly became deathly quiet, with even the sound from the air conditioning vents clearly audible.
Ignoring the stifling breathing rhythm around him, Lin Yuan listed the contents one by one.
"A full set of parameters for 5G base station technology."
"Millimeter-wave transmission adaptation protocols and hardware blueprints."
"Low-latency concurrent scheduling algorithm terminal adaptation parameters."
These three short, professional terms were like three bullets, accurately piercing into the minds of the technical leads from the three major telecom operators.
These technical bigwigs, who had been secretly frustrated at Lin Yuan's remark about them being "too slow," now found their minds completely blank.
The preliminary data they had received before was already enough to subvert their understanding.
Their entire team had stayed up for days and nights without sleep, yet they had barely managed to chew through the tip of the iceberg.
But now... what did Lin Yuan say?
A full set of parameters? Adaptation protocols? Hardware blueprints?
This meant they no longer needed to delve into the technology from the bottom up and struggle to build it; the core engineering data of the base station architecture had already been chewed up by Lin Yuan and fed right to their mouths!
Among the three, the technical lead sitting in the front abruptly straightened his back, his Adam's apple bobbing violently.
"Chief Engineer Lin... what you said..."
His voice was tight, even trembling slightly, as he desperately tried to maintain composure.
"Is it the full set of practical operating data? Not... directional guidelines?"
Lin Yuan glanced at him.
"Yes, the full set."
The answer was crisp and decisive, leaving no room for ambiguity.
"From the base station RF front-end to antenna array layout, from channel coding to beam management, all parameters are provided in one go."
"Once you take them back, you can go straight into the engineering manufacturing stage."
As these words landed, the technical lead froze for half a second.
The two other operator counterparts beside him also had their mouths slightly agape, their eyes wide open.
Finally, the technical lead who spoke first took a deep breath and followed up.
"Chief Engineer Lin, then these three hard drives..."
Lin Yuan raised his hand, his long fingers pointing at the three cold-gleaming metal blocks one by one.
"One for each company."
"Take them back and you can interface them with your existing network infrastructure without needing to match them from scratch."
This was said too lightly.
But as it hit the minds of the three technical leads, every word was as heavy as a mountain.
The three technical leads exchanged glances, their lips trembling, unable to say a word.
Their chests heaved violently, as if a ball of fire were stuck in their throats.
Lin Yuan took in their reactions and tapped his finger on the tabletop.
"After I give you the data, I hope the three companies can fully launch the deployment planning for Fifth-generation Communication base stations as soon as possible."
"Time waits for no one."
"Start with pilot deployments in the core areas of first-tier cities, and simultaneously establish the switching transition plans with the existing network."
"I have already listed the specific engineering milestones and acceptance standards inside the hard drives for you."
The three of them nodded in unison, almost subconsciously, their movements urgent and heavy.
What else was there to hesitate about?
With the full set of parameters in hand, ready-made adaptation plans, and even the engineering milestone tables drawn up.
They couldn't wait to grab the hard drives and rush back to start working right now!
Off to the side.
Lin Yu pushed up his black-rimmed glasses, withdrew his gaze from the excited, flushed faces of the three operator representatives, and turned to look at Wei Jiancheng and Yang Lin beside him.
He lowered his voice slightly.
"Old Wei, Old Yang."
"The reaction you two had when you saw the hard drives earlier..."
Lin Yu paused, his eyes narrowing slightly behind his lenses.
"Did you already know this would happen?"
"When we were working on the Photolithography Machine before... was it the same?"
Wei Jiancheng turned his head, a grin stretching to his ears on his rugged face.
"Hehe."
He pointed his chin vaguely at the row of hard drives on the table.
"Otherwise, what do you think, why were Old Yang and I acting like that just now?"
Yang Lin rubbed his hands vigorously on the side and chimed in.
"Old Lin, you haven't experienced it; you'll get used to it!"
"Back when we were working on the Photolithography Machine, Chief Engineer Lin did the exact same thing."
"That unassuming canvas bag, in our eyes, is an all-purpose wishing bag!"
"And let me tell you, just wait and see!"
He held up a finger to Lin Yu and shook it confidently.
"This is definitely just the beginning!"
After hearing this, Lin Yu was silent for two seconds.
He looked back at the side profile of the young man in the main seat, and the look behind his lenses changed, adding something indescribable.
Meanwhile, the others on both sides of the long table were whispering to each other.
The senior engineers from industrial equipment companies and technical representatives from terminal device manufacturers were all craning their necks.
The operators were already overjoyed, clutching the full set of base station data.
What about the rest?
For a moment, countless gazes fell on the fourth hard drive on the far right of the table, the one Lin Yuan hadn't mentioned yet.
That hard drive sat quietly there, its cold metallic casing reflecting a dull arc of light under the lamps, yet it seemed to possess a certain deadly magic, pulling at the nerves of everyone present.
Lin Yuan naturally felt those hungry-wolf-like gazes converging from all directions.
He was not in a hurry.
He even deliberately paused for a moment before his long fingers landed unhurriedly on the corner of the fourth hard drive.
His fingertips gently rubbed the edges of the alloy casing.
Then, he looked up, meeting the room full of faces filled with anticipation and nervousness, and the corners of his lips lifted slightly.
"As for this..."
