Chapter 1128 - 1088: Good News from the Military
After ten o'clock at night, Lin Jie returned home and immediately collapsed onto the sofa beside Lin Miao, weakly saying, "Miaomiao, quickly give me a massage, I'm exhausted today."Seeing Lin Jie's tired face, Lin Miao said with concern, "Brother, was work tough today? Wait a moment, I'll go bring the massage bed down!"
"Miaomiao, no need to rush!"
An Kexin stopped Lin Miao, nodded toward Lin Jie with a chuckle and said, "Your brother isn't as tired as he looks. He did a ten-hour surgery today, but compared to the major surgeries he's done before, it's nothing."
"He's mostly pretending."
Lin Jie straightened a bit and retorted, "I'm not physically tired, I'm mentally tired."
"Taking so many calls, chatting with so many people, isn't easy at all."
An Kexin moved behind Lin Jie, massaged his neck, and laughed, "I can hear a bit of flaunting in your voice."
She turned to Lin Miao and continued, "Your brother's published paper has attracted great attention worldwide. He received congratulatory messages non-stop through various means today."
Lin Miao seemed enlightened and giggled, "Brother is the best."
"Brother, lie down on the sofa, I'll give you a simple massage."
Following Lin Miao's instructions, Lin Jie lay face down on the sofa, allowing Lin Miao to massage his back.
"Where's Yuanyuan?"
Lin Miao chuckled lightly, "Already asleep. When Sister Hui brought her back, she was crying, saying she doesn't like Ye Chen anymore."
"Why?" Lin Jie asked casually.
"Sister Hui said, Ye Chen and Yuanyuan ate a box of strawberry ice cream together, Yuanyuan didn't get enough, most of it was eaten by Ye Chen, which made Yuanyuan angry."
Lin Jie naturally knew it was because Ye Chen was worried Yuanyuan would get a stomachache from eating too much ice cream, so he ate more on purpose.
With the Ye Family's situation, there's no limit to how much ice cream they can have.
Just from this, Lin Jie didn't expect the big boy Ye Chen to genuinely care about Yuanyuan.
"Oh, brother, Sister Hui said she contacted a good kindergarten for Yuanyuan and wants your opinion!"
Lin Jie responded with an "oh," saying, "That's fine! It's time for Yuanyuan to continue with kindergarten education, playing with other kids will help her grow."
At this moment, Lu Juan brought two cups of warm water over.
She handed one to An Kexin and placed the other within Lin Jie's reach on the coffee table.
"Dr. Lin, can I ask for two weeks off?"
Without waiting for Lin Jie's response, Lu Juan continued to explain, "My daughter is taking her college entrance exam at the beginning of next month. I want to go back to take care of her. I'll make her some good food during this time to supplement her nutrition."
Lin Jie laughed lightly, "The college entrance exam is a significant lifelong event, it's understandable to pay extra attention. Two-week leave is not a problem. I'll ask the studio to pay your salary for this month in advance."
Lu Juan said gratefully, "Thank you, thank you, Dr. Lin."
Just then, the doorbell rang.
Lu Juan quickly ran over, then shouted, "Dr. Lin, there are some soldiers ringing the doorbell, should I open the door?"
Soldiers? At this hour?
Feeling curious, Lin Jie got up from the sofa and said, "Aunt Lu, please open the door!"
A moment later, Lin Jie saw old friend Meng Yang and three unfamiliar middle-aged soldiers walk in.
Lin Jie noted the ranks of those three strangers, one Major General and two Colonels.
The two Colonels hold professional technical ranks.
Meng Yang strode up to Lin Jie, chuckling lightly, "Expert Lin, visiting you directly at this hour, hope we aren't disturbing you?"
Lin Jie shook hands with him and said, "I just got back from the hospital myself, it's not a disturbance. For a doctor, emergencies can happen at any time, it's never a disturbance."
He gestured politely and continued, "General Meng, and the three of you, please sit."
After everyone was seated, An Kexin, Lin Miao, and Lu Juan served tea, fruit, and pastries, then retired to their rooms, leaving Lin Jie, Meng Yang, and the others alone in the living room.
"Expert Lin, let me introduce!"
Meng Yang pointed to the general beside him and said, "This is Major General Shao Yi from the National Defense Science and Technology Commission, and the two are military technical experts, Colonel Bian Xuhui and Colonel Chu Ruikuan!"
"General Shao, Colonel Bian, Colonel Chu, nice to meet you!"
Lin Jie felt a surge of emotion and asked, "Are you here for that laser projector?"
Shao Yi nodded and said, "I came here precisely for this matter."
"First, congratulations to Expert Lin for achieving yet another world-shaking medical research breakthrough. At the same time, on behalf of the National Defense Department, I thank Expert Lin for actively treating numerous military technology experts."
After saying this, Shao Yi stood up immediately, saluted Lin Jie after coming to attention.
After sitting down again, Shao Yi said in a deep voice, "Expert Lin, the suggestion you conveyed through General Meng, along with the feasibility analysis, we have received."
"We didn't dare to slack off, and organized technical experts for a comprehensive demonstration as soon as possible, then reported the results to the authorities in detail."
"The authorities instructed us that this is a matter beneficial to both the country and the people, urging us to handle it swiftly and promptly. Hence, I hurried here overnight with General Meng to meet you."
Lin Jie, sensing the implication in his words, asked in delight, "General Shao, does this mean that the military is willing to share that laser stereoscopic projection technology?"
Shao Yi nodded again and said, "Through our verification, we found that converting this laser projection technology for civilian use won't pose a threat to national defense security."
"We are willing to share it and are open to collaboration through suitable means."
"That's fantastic!"
Lin Jie clapped his hands in joy and said excitedly, "This is the best news I've heard in recent times."
The negotiations with Morrison Industries repeatedly caught Lin Jie off guard, causing him considerable pressure.
After all, the development project of the intelligent medical system has attracted much attention, and the framework is already set up, with significant investments made from all sides. However, obtaining the core key point to advance the project, the 3D Laser Stereoscopic Projector, has been delayed.
Not feeling worried was impossible for Lin Jie.
Now, hearing General Shao's statement, he felt a total relief, as if a huge stone was removed from him.
Lin Jie asked with concern, "Well, well, the stereoscopic projector manufactured through the military's laser technology, can its clarity and other data indicators match the standard of Morrison Industries' device?"
Shao Yi turned his gaze to Bian Xuhui and said, "Major General Bian, can you answer Expert Lin's question?"
Bian Xuhui, seeing Lin Jie's gaze upon him, said in a gentle voice, "Expert Lin, I can confidently say that our laser projection technology is not inferior to Morrison Industries'."
"However..."
Upon hearing this turnaround, Lin Jie's heart sank a bit.
He patiently listened as Bian Xuhui continued, "Regarding Morrison Industries' laser projector, based on existing data, we've done a lot of analysis, and its performance indicators are very commendable indeed."
"Expert Lin, although the device is named 3D Laser Stereoscopic Projector, the laser emission system is just one of its core systems, comprising a multi-system aggregate."
"The device also involves material technology, precision component processing technology, advanced industrial design concepts, system integration technology, and so forth. It's a concentrated reflection of Morrison Industries'—and even Germany's—technology and experience in high-tech equipment."
"It represents a nation's heritage in high-end industrial manufacturing."
Sighing at this point, Bian Xuhui said, "Even if we excel or surpass them in certain aspects, in terms of comprehensive strength, we are still far behind."
"Thus, the 3D laser stereoscopic projector we develop is likely to be considerably weaker in various performance indicators. As for how weak, we'll need to wait for sample testing to confirm."
Lingering over Bian Xuhui's words, Lin Jie understood the implication.
The manufacturing of the 3D Laser Stereoscopic Projector is a systematic engineering challenge that tests the comprehensive strength of a nation—similar to a water-holding barrel, where the shortest planks determine the barrel's water capacity, equivalent to the device's performance metrics.
Lin Jie felt frustrated.
This is reality—there are never smooth paths all the way. Solving one problem leads to countless more stumbling blocks.
If the performance indicators of the 3D Laser Stereoscopic Projector fail to meet certain standards, many ideas will be in vain.
Shao Yi noticed the disappointed expression on Lin Jie's face and said, "Expert Lin, we've already decided to mobilize elite professionals from various fields, forming a key task force dedicated to the development of this 3D Laser Stereoscopic Projector."
"Because we've discovered that this 3D Laser Stereoscopic Projector holds significant military value."
These words slightly lifted Lin Jie's spirits, and he said, "General Shao, could you divulge a bit?"
Shao Yi smiled and said, "For example, high-energy weapon and high-tech equipment flaw detection. These devices are inconvenient to disassemble and can't be inspected through high-energy rays. Ultrasonic inspection is the most suitable."
"However, the precision of ultrasonic waves is greatly lacking."
"If we have this projector, utilizing your data conversion analysis software—alongside our own database—can perfectly resolve precision issues."
"And another example..."
Shao Yi lowered his voice slightly and spoke with some mystery, "Using ultrasonic waves to explore enemy underground fortifications, underwater terrain, mineral exploration, and even to investigate the internal structure of certain confidential high-tech equipment or weapons."
"Certainly, accomplishing this requires your developed data conversion application system to be exceptional, and the 3D Laser Stereoscopic Projector to possess high-end performance."
Shao Yi confidently said, "The Chinese are masters at fighting tough battles and solving difficult problems."
"With the concerted efforts of various sectors, giving it our all, I firmly believe that we will successfully tackle the development of this 3D Laser Stereoscopic Projector in the shortest time, ensuring that its performance meets all demands..."
