61: Chapter 61 One-stop service

*Creak—*

Soon, accompanied by a flurry of hurried footsteps, the office door was pushed open from the outside.

Wei Jiancheng's burly figure rushed in first, his steps urgent and swift. Before he had even fully crossed the threshold, his deep, resonant voice preceded him.

"Chief Engineer Lin, I heard from the researchers downstairs that you were looking for the three of us?"

"What new arrangements need to be made so early in the morning?"

His tone carried the directness unique to a technical fanatic, without a single word of idle pleasantry.

But if one looked closely, they could see that despite the exhaustion from staying up late written all over his face, his eyes were startlingly bright.

He Yicheng and Yang Lin followed close behind, their steps equally hurried as they entered one after the other.

But as soon as they entered, the three titans, each a heavyweight in their respective fields, paused in unison.

"Dean Chen, you're here too."

Wei Jiancheng was stunned for a moment. He nodded to Chen Jingshan, and his gaze immediately fell upon the upright figures of Leng Yun and Qin Meng standing nearby.

Chen Jingshan smiled and gestured with his hand.

"You've come at just the right time. Let me introduce you."

He turned slightly, pointing toward Leng Yun and Qin Meng.

"Leng Yun, Qin Meng."

"They are full-time assistants sent from above. From today onwards, they will be fully responsible for handling Comrade Lin Yuan's daily affairs."

Full-time assistants?

And sent from above?

The weight of those words caused the hearts of Wei Jiancheng and the other two to skip a beat simultaneously.

They quickly exchanged glances, each seeing a certain unspoken understanding in the others' eyes.

No one asked any further questions.

Anyone standing in this room understood the rules.

Wei Jiancheng suppressed his wandering thoughts and refocused his gaze on Lin Yuan behind the desk.

"Chief Engineer Lin, you called for us because..."

Lin Yuan sat calmly in the large office chair, his posture relaxed.

He didn't answer immediately. His gaze swept across the three senior scientists' exhausted yet exceptionally bright eyes, finally settling into a gentle smile.

"Seniors, you've worked hard."

Lin Yuan rested his folded hands on the desk, his tone neither hurried nor slow.

"You should still remember what we discussed in the backstage lounge after the press conference a few days ago, right?"

The backstage lounge?

Wei Jiancheng was taken aback.

He Yicheng's brow furrowed slightly as his mind raced, recalling that brief exchange from that day.

After a few short seconds of silence.

The pupils of several people suddenly contracted.

Wei Jiancheng stared fixedly at Lin Yuan, his breathing suddenly becoming heavy, and even his burly frame swayed imperceptibly.

"You... you mean..."

He Yicheng's voice became dry, and his Adam's apple bobbed violently.

"No way!"

Yang Lin muttered in shock, his eyes nearly popping out of his head.

"It's only... it's only been three days!"

Lin Yuan looked at the expressions of disbelief on the three men's faces, a slight curve appearing at the corners of his lips.

He didn't explain anything.

He simply reached out and pulled over an ordinary black backpack from the desk under the watchful eyes of everyone present.

His fingers pinched the zipper and gave it a gentle tug.

*Sizzle—*

The sound of the zipper opening seemed exceptionally piercing in the dead-silent office.

Lin Yuan reached into the bag and pulled out three pure black solid-state drives.

The casings were made of military-grade special alloy with no logos on the surface, only a cold metallic texture.

He held the three drives in his hand and then held them out to Wei Jiancheng and the others.

Wei Jiancheng subconsciously reached out both hands to take one of them.

He Yicheng and Yang Lin also stepped forward to each take a drive.

When the metal casings touched their skin, the icy sensation made their fingertips tremble.

"Inside here... is?"

Wei Jiancheng looked down at the unremarkable black block in his hand, his voice sounding a bit dry.

Lin Yuan withdrew his hand and spoke with a smile.

"Inside are the technical plans for the subsequent engineering phase."

As those words fell, the hands of the several men holding the drives suddenly tightened.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan chuckled, his gaze sweeping across the drives in their hands in turn.

"Director Wei, the one in your hand is the 'Superconducting Acceleration Cavity Cryogenic Circulation System Integration Plan'."

Then, he turned his head toward He Yicheng.

"Director He, yours is the 'Multilayer Dielectric Film Atomic Layer Deposition Precision Control Protocol'."

Finally, his gaze landed steadily on Yang Lin.

"Director Yang, what you have is the 'Six-Degree-of-Freedom Magnetic Levitation Worktable Millisecond-Level Co-tuning Algorithm'."

Each technical term uttered was like a heavy sledgehammer, slamming hard against the hearts of the three senior scientists.

These were precisely the core engineering bottlenecks that they had been working on feverishly without sleep for the past few days, yet still felt were fraught with difficulties.

They already had the theories; those were given by Lin Yuan.

But how to turn those perfect theories into an engineering reality that could be mass-produced and operated stably—the gap in between was no small matter.

But now...

Lin Yuan had placed the answers they craved most inside these small hard drives and handed them over so nonchalantly?

Standing to the side, Chen Jingshan looked at those three black drives, a storm of shock surging deep within his eyes.

As the head of the Xia Academy of Sciences, he naturally understood exactly what the technology in those three drives meant.

At the same time,

Leng Yun and Qin Meng, standing behind Chen Jingshan, maintained a standard posture of alertness from beginning to end.

They didn't understand what "superconducting" meant, nor did they understand "atomic deposition."

But they knew how to read people, and they could see the expressions of ecstatic shock, awe, and disbelief on the faces of these scientific giants.

Qin Meng's gaze slowly moved from the senior scientists back to the young man sitting calmly in his chair, his expression showing not a single ripple.

For the first time, she had a concrete understanding of the definition of "Highest Protection Level" on that file.

With just three palm-sized hard drives and a few casual sentences, he could make these major figures, who could shake the Xia scientific community with a stomp of their feet, lose their composure entirely.

"This is wonderful..."

He Yicheng suddenly looked up, his voice carrying uncontrollable excitement. He carefully cradled the hard drive in his hands as if it were a priceless treasure.

"With this data from Chief Engineer Lin, it will surely save us a massive amount of time on repeated trials and exploration!"

"Yes!"

Wei Jiancheng also nodded heavily, his gaze burning as he looked at Lin Yuan.

"I thought the surprise you mentioned would take at least a week or two to even get a lead on. I didn't expect... it's only been a few days!"

Hearing this, Lin Yuan smiled.

He leaned forward slightly, interlacing his fingers on the desk.

"Actually, it was still a bit slow."

"If it weren't for the need to thoroughly organize the full set of solutions for these technologies to ensure no detail was missed, it wouldn't have taken these few days."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions on the faces of Wei Jiancheng and the others froze.

This was considered slow?

And... a full set of solutions?

Wei Jiancheng realized something; his breath hitched as he asked urgently.

"Chief Engineer Lin, do you mean that the data in these drives... is more than just directions and ideas?"

He needed to be clear—was this a "test question" that required them to research further, or was it... an "answer key" they could copy directly?

Hearing this, the curve of Lin Yuan's lips became even more pronounced.

"Exactly, Director Wei."

"You can think of it as a full-service package."
