Arranged marriage, love blossoms; a fiercely devoted soldier dotes on her alone.

"Director Xia, what happened?"

Xiao Zhan asked. He could hear the anxiety in Xia Keke's voice on the phone. Something that could make this section chief so anxious must be no small matter.

Sure enough, Xia Keke said, "An unidentified tracking device was found in the military factory. It's currently under investigation. Fortunately, it was discovered in time. I suspect it's related to CiA's 'Operation Eagle Claw.'"

Xiao Zhan raised an eyebrow and said, "Didn't Thomas die in Thailand?"

"CiA shouldn't be moving that quickly, right?"

Xia Keke: "I guess it was Shirley. She was the only one who escaped, and she was very familiar with 'Operation Eagle Claw.'"

Xiao Zhan said with murderous intent, "Then she's just eager to meet God. I don't mind fulfilling her wish myself. Shirley has connections with Yan Wenlong; haven't your men noticed anything unusual?"

Xia Keke: "I'm only wondering why we haven't found anything unusual. I'm leading people to the factory right now. Old Xiao has already gone there. I thought I should let you know, since the 'Eagle Claw Operation' plan is related to you."

Xiao Zhan glanced at his watch and said, "I'll be on my way back to Xishan and arrive at the factory in about twenty minutes."

Xia Keke: "Okay, we'll talk about it when we meet."

Xiao Zhan hung up the phone and said to Shen Jun, "Drive faster."

Shen Jun: "He's an instructor."

Xiao Zhan thought for a moment and then made another call.

"Beep beep beep".

The call was quickly answered, and Hua Ying's voice came through the phone: "Is there something you need, Young Master Xiao?"

Xiao Zhan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Hua Ying, do you know where Qin Huanhuan is?"

Hua Ying hesitated for a moment on the other end of the phone before saying, "I don't know, Huanhuan must have gone home after get off work."

"Why don't you call her?"

Xiao Zhan said awkwardly, "She blocked me."

Hua Ying: "This stubborn mule won't listen to anything I say, she's so single-minded. I'm going to call her now and ask what's going on."

Xiao Zhan said helplessly, "I'm sorry to bother you."

Xiao Zhan hung up the phone, his brows furrowing as he stared at his phone, muttering to himself, "Qin Huanhuan, what exactly do you want?"

"I've explained everything I needed to, and I've apologized as much as I needed to. Why are you being so petty!"

Shen Jun glanced at Xiao Zhan's sullen expression in the rearview mirror, thought for a moment, and said, "Instructor, women are easily flattered. Go find Miss Qin, say a few nice things to her, buy her a bouquet of flowers, and that'll do the trick. There's nothing shameful about a man flattering a woman."

Xiao Zhan said sullenly, "Let's talk about it when we have time."

"If she really is the kind of petty woman who lacks a sense of the bigger picture, then it's better to end it like this."

Shen Jun: "I don't think Miss Qin is the kind of woman who is petty and can't let go of things. She probably feels that she has been wronged, and she feels that your explanation and apology are not sincere enough. She feels that you don't value her enough, and she wants your respect."

Xiao Zhan rubbed his temples and said, "Let's talk about it later. Shen Jun, you're coming with me to Syria with Deng Zhi the day after tomorrow. Be prepared, there might be danger this time."

Shen Jun grinned and said, "Hehe! Every mission with the instructor is dangerous, I'm used to it."

"squeak!"

Shen Jun parked his car at the entrance of a modern factory at the foot of Xishan Mountain.

Xiao Zhan noticed that the security guards at the entrance were on high alert, and the parking lot was full of cars.

He got out of the car and saw Xia Keke and Uncle Yu standing at the gate talking. He quickly went up to greet them, "Hello, Uncle Yu, hello, Director Xia. Oh, where's the old man?"

Uncle Yu smiled and said, "Xiao Zhan, you're here. The old commander is on the phone inside."

Xia Keke said, "You're fast enough."

Xiao Zhan: "I was already on my way back to Xishan when you called me. What's the situation now? Have you found any clues?"

Xia Keke shook her head and said, "The technicians are conducting an on-site investigation, and it's estimated that it will be difficult to find any clues. However, the other party's tracking device is still running, and the technicians are tracking the signal source in reverse to try to find the location of the receiver and lock onto the target."

At that moment, a security guard ran over and said, "Old Master Xiao wants you to come in."

So Xiao Zhan followed Uncle Yu and Xia Keke into the factory.

This was Xiao Zhan's first time here. Although he had never been here before, he knew that this was a key military industrial enterprise. The company was officially named a civilian electronics technology company, but it was actually divided into two parts.

First, a genuine civilian chip manufacturing company.

Second, the manufacturing of special military weapons and equipment and high-end chips.

Three-nanometer wafers and the "Fuxi" quantum communication chip system are both researched and manufactured here.

After entering the factory area with Xiao Huai'an, Uncle Yu, and Xia Keke, Xiao Zhan went directly to the general manager's office. The four of them then took a private elevator down to a place dozens of meters underground.

Xiao Zhan then realized that the military industrial enterprise his grandfather had told him about was actually located dozens of meters underground.

It's certainly well hidden.

We passed through several gates, each guarded by fully armed guards; without a pass, we couldn't get in at all.

Finally, we entered the spacious, brightly lit workshop.

Xiao Zhan saw rows of automated machines operating in an orderly manner. He could only hear the roar of the machines turning, but he couldn't see a single person. They were all robots operating the machines.

Xiao Huai'an pointed to one of the machines and said, "Xiao Zhan, this machine is a preliminary product for producing the 'Fuxi' quantum communication crystal energy chip. All the equipment here is 100% independently developed by us. From design to assembly to production, including testing, it is all fully automated."

"When you see the entire production process, you will deeply feel that we have already reached the forefront of the world's military technology."

"In particular, the three-nanometer wafers performed even better and were more stable. With hundreds of millions of units shipped, not a single one had a quality problem."

Xiao Zhan asked in surprise, "Zero in a billion?"

"Wow, what does that even mean?"

Uncle Yu laughed and said, "To give you an example, the quality control standard for mobile phone flashlights is one in a million, meaning that no more than one out of a million flashlights is allowed to fail. Our 'zero in a billion' means that our product qualification rate is 100 times higher than the standard."

Xiao Zhan asked curiously, "How is 'zero in a billion' achieved?"

Xiao Huai'an pointed to the several machines that were running in front of him and said, "One of the secret weapons that has achieved this level is the quantum crystal energy version of the 'Fuxi' intelligent production management system."

"Quantum crystal energy is about 'software controlling hardware,' meaning it uses its independently developed quantum crystal energy software system to control hundreds or thousands of hardware-based machines, thereby achieving a near-zero product defect rate."

Xiao Huai'an then pointed to a room next to him that was labeled "sterile disinfection room" and said, "Xiao Zhan, what you see now is only the initial processing stage of the product. If you want to enter the core area of ​​the product, you will have to go through a disinfection and sterilization system before you can enter."

So, Xiao Zhan followed the others to change into clean shoes, put on masks, put on dust-proof and anti-static work clothes, and then went through an air shower before finally entering the manufacturing workshop controlled by the quantum crystal energy system.

Xiao Zhan saw rows of machines neatly arranged, each with a computer screen displaying constantly changing parameters. The occasional "beep" sound was particularly loud in the workshop, indicating that a defective product might be detected.

According to Xiao Huai'an, once Xiao Zhan learns that the system has detected a defective product, the quantum crystal energy system will mark its coordinates. Subsequent operations will automatically exclude processing at the marked coordinates. If the machine malfunctions, the system will immediately and forcibly suspend all operations on that machine and send a notification to the equipment support department. The system can only resume operation after technicians confirm that the malfunction has been resolved.

The Quantum Crystal Energy system is the brain of production line control. In fact, after countless developments, Quantum Crystal Energy still could not fully meet the iterative upgrades of military product processes. After much reflection, Quantum Crystal Energy organized its internal IT team to independently develop the Crystal Energy version of the system. Starting from the source code, the system underwent multiple modifications and scheduling before being successfully launched.

At this point, Xiao Huai'an said, "The biggest advantage of independent development is that it can be flexibly and efficiently expanded indefinitely, and various functions can be developed and imported as needed. For example, the company has hundreds or even thousands of products, and the chips used in each product may be different. Relying on manual verification of labels is very easy to make mistakes. The self-developed quantum crystal energy system adds a material dispensing function, which can automatically complete the verification simply by scanning the label."

"It was this small label that prompted us to embark on the path of reform and development of military enterprises, and to achieve modernization of production management and digitalization of processes."

Xiao Zhan couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said, "Amazing, my sir!"
