Liu Ruyan clutched the first page of the technical document, watching Li Yichen's car slowly drive away.

She turned around.

The high heels clicked rapidly on the floor.

"Everyone, back to the meeting room."

Liu Ruyan walked to the head of the long table.

"Mr. Zhang, you will lead a team to remodel the flow field in the combustion chamber."

"Engineer Li, you take Team Two and completely overhaul the impeller parameters of the turbopump."

"Starting tonight, everyone will be working non-stop."

Zhang Feng did not refute.

He pulled out a chair, sat down, and opened the documents in front of him.

"Second team, come with me to the server room."

The R&D department was in an uproar.

The sound of typing on the keyboard continued incessantly.

Corner of the ceiling.

The red light on the hemispherical surveillance camera flashed once.

The camera silently rotated, focusing on the office area.

The company's internal network, every employee's cell phone, and public surveillance cameras outside the corridors will be completely taken over.

Tea room.

A young researcher holds a coffee cup and swipes his phone screen with one hand.

Open WeChat.

"The new boss's technology is amazing, a race of 480 seconds!"

Click send.

The progress bar has completed a full rotation.

The message has been sent.

But on the other person's phone screen, the message changed to: "Working overtime tonight, not coming home for dinner."

Unaware of what was happening, the researcher picked up his phone and went back to his workstation.

At his workstation, another senior engineer took out a ballpoint pen and copied down several core parameters for the variable thrust condition on a piece of white paper.

The webcam in the lower right corner of the computer screen emitted a faint green light.

The contents on the paper were scanned in real time and uploaded to the server on the 32nd floor.

Marked as high-risk behavior.

Two o'clock in the morning.

Liu Ruyan sat in her private office.

Only the table lamp was on.

She typed on the keyboard and logged into the company's internal procurement system.

Enter "TCC-7 type ceramic matrix composite material".

Press Enter.

The search results are empty.

She accessed publicly available global databases of materials supply chains.

This item cannot be found.

Liu Ruyan leaned back in her chair.

What exactly is this "special channel" that Li Yichen mentioned?

This level of regulated material cannot be bought simply with money.

Two days later. 11 PM.

Li Yichen sat on the sofa in the living room of Tomson Riviera.

My phone vibrated.

Caller ID: Gu Shounian.

connected.

"Mr. Li."

Gu Shounian's voice came through the receiver.

"The first batch of core materials, new high-temperature alloys and ceramic matrix composite preforms, have been put into use."

"We'll arrive at your factory's dedicated warehouse in about an hour."

"You will inspect it yourself, and you will need to sign confidential documents."

"it is good."

The phone hangs up.

Li Yichen stood up and picked up his car keys.

12:10 a.m.

Outside the future aerospace-specific warehouse.

Four unmarked heavy-duty vans slowly drove in.

Two military off-road vehicles followed in front and two behind.

The car door opened.

Fully armed soldiers jumped off the vehicle, carrying Type 95 automatic rifles, and quickly spread out to form a perimeter.

Gu Shounian got out of the first off-road vehicle.

Li Yichen led Liu Ruyan over.

Liu Ruyan paused for a moment when she saw the soldiers with real guns and ammunition around her.

The rear door of the truck opened.

Several soldiers carried down several huge silver metal boxes.

The box was sealed with a red airtight strip and stamped with a complex seal.

Gu Shounian handed over a document.

"signature."

Li Yichen took the pen and quickly signed his name.

Liu Ruyan walked up to the metal box.

A soldier used a special tool to pry open the seal and lift the lid.

Inside, dark gray ceramic-based composite material preforms are neatly stacked.

Liu Ruyan's chest heaved a few times.

She had only seen the molecular structure diagram of this material in top-tier internal academic papers.

This is the first time I've seen a physical object.

She turned to look at Li Yichen.

The young boss's background was even more unfathomable than she had imagined.

The area outside the warehouse.

In the shadows.

Old Zhao, the deputy director of the warehouse department, was hiding behind a pile of old and discarded equipment.

He took his phone out of his pocket.

Activate camera mode.

The camera focused on the military off-road vehicles and the soldiers unloading the cargo.

My finger is on the shutter button.

The screen suddenly flickered.

Pure black.

Old Zhao was stunned.

He pressed the power button hard, but there was no response.

Then, a line of green code popped up on the screen, instantly filling the entire screen.

My phone is getting hot.

The burnt smell of the motherboard wafted out.

My computer crashed.

Old Zhao was so startled that his hand trembled and his phone fell to the ground.

He scurried away, clinging to the wall.

Inside the warehouse.

Li Yichen's phone vibrated in his pocket.

He took out his phone.

Ling'er's chibi-style figure pops out.

"Brother, someone is secretly taking pictures in the southeast corner of the scrap yard."

"I physically melted down the phone and formatted all the data."

Li Yichen put his phone back in his pocket.

"Don't touch him."

He gave the instruction in his mind.

"Keep a close eye on all his contacts, trace them in reverse, and find out who ordered it."

"receive."

The materials are in place.

The entire factory area is now fully operational.

The high-precision five-axis CNC machine tool roared.

The robotic arm of a special welding robot moves up and down.

Liu Ruyan carried a tablet computer and moved between the various workshops.

"Raise the temperature by five degrees!"

"Slow down the feed rate!"

On the machine tool control panel, the parameters changed automatically without any user intervention.

Ling'er intervened in real time from the backstage.

The scrap rate dropped sharply.

The fifth floor of the R&D building.

Heavy rocket overall design office.

A huge 3D model of a rocket was displayed on the large screen.

Low Earth orbit carrying capacity: 200 tons.

Ten "Aurora" engines are connected in parallel.

Several structural engineers were scratching their heads while looking at the stress analysis diagram.

"The flange thickness in the interstage section is insufficient to withstand such a large axial overload!"

"If we thicken it, the dead weight will be too great, affecting transport capacity!"

The CAD model on the screen suddenly started moving on its own.

The structure of the flange was re-divided, resulting in a complex honeycomb topology optimization structure inside.

The stress analysis diagram turned green instantly.

The engineers looked at each other in bewilderment.

Liu Ruyan stood behind, looking at the automatically evolving blueprints.

She turned and walked out of the design studio.

Push open the door to Li Yichen's office.

"Mr. Li."

Liu Ruyan placed a report on her desk.

"Did you add the optimization algorithm to the software's backend?"

Li Yichen raised his head.

"The company has just introduced the 'Lingxi' industrial version artificial intelligence assistance system."

He leaned back in his chair.

"As long as it works, don't ask so many questions."

Liu Ruyan did not press the matter further.

She turned and left.

The third floor of the R&D building.

8 PM.

Most of the people in the office area have left.

Structural engineer Sun Yu sat at his workstation.

The computer screen is lit.

He glanced at the payment reminder sent by the hospital on his phone.

The intensive care unit sees over 10,000 patients daily.

He opened the drawer.

Take out a black USB flash drive that has no markings.

He rubbed his hands on his trouser leg twice.

I glanced around.

no one.

Insert the USB flash drive into the USB port on the computer host.

Drag and drop.

A document titled "List of Non-Core Materials for Arrow Body Shell" was moved to a USB drive.

A progress bar pops up.

ten percent.

Twenty percent.

Inside the server room on the 32nd floor.

Ling'er's core logic module was running at full speed.

A red alert popped up on Li Yichen's phone screen.

Sun Yu stared at the progress bar on the computer screen.

Ninety-nine percent.
