A nation's industrial development begins with junior engineers.

Chapter 1034 Want an eggplant vine? It'll cheer you up!

Secretary Liu, holding her laptop, stood in the chilly courtyard in the early morning and glanced back at the dormitory where Jiang Xia was sleeping.

After handing over the badge warriors he brought to Lao Wang for unified command, he hurriedly headed towards the Little Red Building at the naval training base where Jiangxia had stayed recently.

Jiang Xia's words about "moving" and urgently pushing forward the project seemed to be anxious words under pressure, but Xiao Liu knew that this was by no means a momentary impulse.

This young, brilliant engineer has an extremely erratic way of thinking; often his ideas seem to jump from one thing to another, making it difficult for others to grasp his true plans and intentions.

Outsiders might think his ideas are wild and unconventional, lacking focus, or even a bit reckless.

But only those like Xiao Liu, who have been by his side for a long time and have the opportunity to observe from a higher level, know that the "seeds" that Jiangxia seems to have scattered randomly can often grow into an amazing "forest" at critical moments.

Putting aside other things, the digital radios based on the principles he proposed, which are currently being miniaturized by the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications and related factories, will see an exponential increase in security and anti-jamming capabilities once they are deployed to the military.

The "space division" automatic telephone exchange, which has already been piloted in several important departments and core factories and mines, has raised communication efficiency and reliability to an unprecedented level, greatly reducing the delay and distortion of instructions being transmitted.

More importantly, there was the “primitive computer network” that was still in its infancy but had already shown amazing potential.

Through the "Dahuang" series machines and a limited number of dedicated lines, core research units and some decision support departments located in different cities have been able to conduct preliminary data exchange, file transfer, and even simple remote collaboration.

This may seem like just a small step in technology, but it represents a giant leap forward in information control and decision-making models.

Those elderly people who care about the future of the country and have keen insight can now sit in their offices and see not only the reports that have been passed down through layers of bureaucracy and may have been edited, but also directly access real-time progress data of certain key projects, briefings on technical difficulties, and even conduct near "face-to-face" rapid Q&A sessions with technical leaders thousands of miles away through encrypted channels.

To see more comprehensively, more deeply, and more promptly.

This is of great significance for making accurate judgments and long-term plans under complex international environment and internal development pressures.

Jiang Xia himself may not have fully realized that his wild ideas and stubborn push were quietly changing certain high-level operational logics.

This may be one of the reasons why he and his cherished projects have attracted special "attention" from certain forces, who have even tried to interfere with and control them—information superiority is itself a crucial form of power.

Secretary Liu swiped his special pass and passed through two checkpoints before finally returning to the small red building in Jiangxia where he had been temporarily staying in the Navy.

He wanted to use the second-generation rooster that had been left here to report immediately.

Secretary Liu started up the "Big Yellow Second Generation" in front of him; the familiar low hum and screen light brought a sense of security. After a series of clattering "handshake" sounds to reset the connection, Secretary Liu successfully connected to the network.

Log in.

Entering an empty interface, take out the small metal box containing dynamic codes, and then input a series of complex dynamic commands.

The screen flickered, the interface changed, and an extremely simple, plain text communication platform without any unnecessary decorations appeared in front of him.

There are no names, no icons, only threads arranged by time and access level.

This is the "forum," a top-secret information exchange space deep within the "Big Yellow" network, accessible only to a very small number of core decision-makers and high-level staff.

Its existence is so unknown that even Jiang Xia, the "dumb hairy boy," is currently unaware of it.

We really shouldn't underestimate our scientists. Once they understand the principles, they can really come up with all sorts of creative ways to use what they have.

Yes, some unknown experts actually set up priority preemption and link resilience in this forum!

Once this forum node has a data sending or receiving request, it will automatically suppress other non-critical data streams on the same link to ensure that high-priority information flows smoothly.

Meanwhile, the system has a preliminary "multi-path awareness" capability. If it detects a decline in the quality of the main link, it can automatically switch the session to the backup link, almost imperceptibly to the user.

That's why Secretary Liu's login to this forum was so smooth.

Xiao Liu quickly created a new temporary theme and set its permissions to the highest level.

He tried to describe his conversation with Jiang Xia as concisely and objectively as possible, highlighting Jiang Xia's strong sense of insecurity caused by the recent turmoil, as well as his eagerness to disperse and accelerate the development of core projects such as gas turbines. He also included his analysis of the underlying psychological motivations and potential risks.

Just as he finished typing the last few lines and was about to proofread before sending, a red, bold, flashing emergency notification window suddenly popped up on his screen, obscuring the interface he was editing:

"Urgent Order: Bureau 701 has submitted a request for top-level technical assistance. This is of great importance. Contact Comrade Jiangxia immediately to handle this matter together."

"Bureau 701?"

Secretary Liu knew all too well what Bureau 701 did, and he also knew what their so-called "highest priority" meant, which was often directly related to national-level security operations and the safety of central leaders!

It's worth noting that this 701 Bureau, established for so long, only used this tone during the Kashmir Princess incident in 55.

I quickly sent out the completed report and forcibly shut down the second-generation Dahuang device.

Secretary Liu patted the square top of the computer case with a pained expression, then ran outside.

It should be noted that the place where Jiangxia was resting was quite a distance from this little red building.

The base was not yet fully awake, and vehicle dispatch would take time.

Secretary Liu caught a glimpse of a well-maintained old bicycle parked outside the building, with a file basket on the back seat. Without caring whose it was, he leaped onto it and charged towards the base gate.

If it weren't for the high humidity in Darian, the car wheels would have been sparking.

Why not notify them by phone?

This is because he's been influenced by the idiot's mentality. At this moment, Secretary Liu feels like he's in enemy territory.

He had just managed to ride his motorcycle to the inside of the base gate when a deep, distinct engine roar, unlike any other vehicle commonly seen inside the base, approached rapidly from afar.

Secretary Liu slammed on the brakes, tapped one foot on the ground, and looked over in surprise.

A convoy of three vehicles was driving in without any obstruction. His gaze was instantly drawn to the vehicle in the middle of the convoy—a rugged-looking, six-wheeled armored vehicle painted standard army green with tall tires!

Isn't this the evaluation version of the wheeled armored vehicle developed by the Fire Seed Base?

Secretary Liu remembered that the Fire Seed Base only made three of these armored vehicles. One was given to Jiang Xia, but the kid modified it and gave it to the old geologist.

The remaining two vehicles should be evaluated and tested at a certain proving ground.

Was this misuse of public resources? Or was there another urgent official business?

However, now is not the time to think about these things. Secretary Liu lowered his head and slammed his feet down.

The morning mist is thick; the base is awakening...

A steam engine appeared outside Jiangxia's dormitory, billowing steam...

"Hahaha! Kid, you've been staying up all night again! Look at you, you look like you've been burned at the bottom of a pot."

Want a piece of eggplant vine?

"Energizes!"
