Building a Sci-Fi Empire: Starting with Cold Nuclear Fusion

After exchanging a few words, Zhao Peng left with Wang Kai and the others.

Although the leader had left, the way everyone looked at Chen Yuan was still filled with some strangeness.

Old Qin spoke up first: "The minister just said that we should test Chen Yuan's design drawings as soon as possible to see if they are feasible."

"OK."

"Let's get started."

The crowd responded.

"Hey, no rush," Old Qin called out to everyone. "Since you're all here, let me introduce Chen Yuan. We'll all get to know each other better in the future, how can we not get to know each other?"

He then introduced the people present to Chen Yuan.

Well, it's impossible to introduce all of the dozens of people.

Old Qin only introduced a few of the more important people.

For example, Xiaoyun is an assistant whose job is to "take care" of everyone.

The tall, thin man is named Ding Yang. He is a test engineer who is responsible for testing and ensuring product quality.

There are also engineers such as Lu Zhen, Guo Ning, and Wang Meiyan who are responsible for software or hardware aspects.

Chen Yuan introduced himself to the group.

Immediately, the others went about their business.

Xiaoyun didn't leave immediately. Instead, she opened her eyes wide and looked at Chen Yuan, asking, "Engineer Chen, would you like some tea? I'll make you a cup."

Chen Yuan was still an apprentice, so he was flattered that the other party would call him "Engineer Chen".

He said, "Sister Xiaoyun, please don't be so polite. Just call me Xiao Chen. I'm not thirsty right now. I'll pour myself some tea if I want some."

Xiaoyun glanced at Lao Qin and said in a slightly coquettish tone, "Chen is so much better. Look at you, you middle-aged man, always ordering people around, humph."

Old Qin rolled his eyes and said, "Stop talking so much nonsense. Hurry up and turn Chen Yuan's design into a 3D model, and then send it for detailed review. If the review is approved, make a prototype immediately. I want to start testing and verification as soon as possible."

Xiaoyun said, "Okay, I'll get right to it."

After saying that, she ran to the computer and started operating it.

Thanks to artificial intelligence, the 3D model was generated in less than a second.

It has to be said that technology changes lives; in the past, creating 3D models took a lot of time.

Xiaoyun made a copy, said goodbye to Lao Qin and Chen Yuan, and then left.

Old Qin shook his head helplessly as he watched Xiaoyun's retreating figure and said, "Chen Yuan, I'm sorry you had to see this. This is just my precious little sister's personality. Don't think I really like ordering people around."

Chen Yuan was taken aback and asked, "Is Sister Xiaoyun your sister?"

One was fairly pretty, the other was sloppy and disheveled...

Old Qin seemed to see the meaning in Chen Yuan's eyes and said speechlessly, "Can't I have a pretty little sister? Although my parents gave birth to me in a rather plain way, and Xiao Yun is much younger than me, she really is my little sister."

If it were before, he would never have explained so much to Chen Yuan, just as Xiao Yun would never have called him "Engineer Chen".

Ultimately, it's because everyone saw that Chen Yuan was capable that they gave him a certain amount of respect.

Seeing that Lao Qin's attitude had improved a lot, Chen Yuan smiled and said, "No, Brother Qin, you're very handsome too. By the way, how many days until we can enter the testing and verification phase?"

After thinking for a moment, Lao Qin replied, "The company attaches great importance to this project. The detailed review of the organizational chart should be quick. It may take some time to make the prototype. Overall, we can test and verify it within a week. The cell process is relatively simple. If it is a complete large-scale energy storage device, it will take more time. No problem, I have confidence in your design. It should be fine. You will definitely get a bonus."

Chen Yuan quickly replied, "I'm not concerned about the bonus; I just hope our project can produce results as soon as possible."

Old Qin sighed, "I hope so too. This project has been going on for about a year, and the board of directors has already run out of patience."

At this point, he seemed somewhat agitated and didn't want to dwell on the matter any longer.

Old Qin changed the subject and asked curiously, "Chen Yuan, do you really remember everything in that book I gave you?"

Chen Yuan said with certainty, "I remember every single word."

Old Qin still couldn't quite accept it.

After all, this is too exaggerated.

This doesn't mean he doesn't believe it.

He said, "Really?"

Chen Yuan assumed the other party still didn't trust him and, too lazy to explain further, simply recited from the book: "Page 21, paragraph 2: Electrode design, for example, to have optimal lifespan or optimal capacity under relatively low or medium discharge loads... Page 54, paragraph 3:..."

He extracted several passages from the book and memorized them with ease.

Old Qin listened in stunned silence.

He does know that knowledge, but who would be as bored as Chen Yuan to memorize every detail in the book, down to the last paragraph?

After a while, Chen Yuan finished reciting seven or eight paragraphs before saying, "Brother Qin, I didn't recite it wrong, did I?"

Old Qin stared at him for a long time before finally managing to utter a sentence: "You...you're a real pervert."

At that moment, he finally understood that Chen Yuan hadn't been bragging.

They really did memorize all 181 pages of the book.

This made him feel secretly ashamed, realizing that he had previously misunderstood Chen Yuan, thinking that the young man liked to brag.

……

A day passed quickly.

The next morning, Chen Yuan followed Lao Qin to the laboratory again.

The project team of dozens of people are gathered together right now, but they don't seem to have gotten into work mode yet.

"That's really impressive."

"That's right."

"It's just a small problem, it'll be fine as long as it's resolved."

Seeing Lao Qin and Chen Yuan walk over, Xiao Yun stepped forward and said, "Engineer Qin, Engineer Chen, the detailed review results are in. Everything else meets the requirements, except for the three-dimensional air duct integrated top cover. When we were checking the patent, we found that it overlaps with Haichen Company's patent."

Old Qin turned his head to look over, "Chen Yuan, look..."

Without hesitation, Chen Yuan said, "Leave it to me, I'll make some changes."

Old Qin nodded and pointed to the spot next to his work computer, saying, "From now on, you can use this computer to work in the lab. Xiaoyun, go and apply for another computer yourself."

Xiaoyun said, "Okay."

Chen Yuan expressed his gratitude, then sat down, turned on his computer, and activated the Quantum Mind Domain. He then used quantum computing to modify the three-dimensional integrated airway top cover once again.

Quantum computing simulations are so fast that a new design can be given in an instant.

Chen Yuan opened the software for drawing design drafts and started drawing again on it.

Thirty or forty minutes later, he finished drawing the newly completed design and was about to call Xiaoyun.

Coincidentally, Xiaoyun came in from outside and walked towards Chen Yuan's direction. "Engineer Chen."

Chen Yuan said, "Sister Xiaoyun, I have redrawn the design drawings. Could you please create a 3D model and then send it for detailed review?"

"Okay," Xiaoyun agreed, and took out a form from the folder, saying, "Please fill this out."

Chen Yuan reached out to take it, asking in confusion, "What do you need to fill out?"

Xiaoyun said with a grin, "The 'Laboratory Access Application Form,' you're a member of our project team now, you can't always follow Engineer Qin into the lab, can you? He asked me to apply for it for you."

Chen Yuan's eyes lit up. "Can I enter the lab anytime from now on?"

"That won't work," Xiaoyun explained. "After filling out the application form, you'll need to go to the security department for safety training and get a certificate of qualification before they'll give you a lab access permit. Hmm, it's very simple. I passed after two or three days of training. Oh, by the way, did you submit your medical examination report to HR?"

Chen Yuan glanced at the application form. "Hmm, it's in HR."

Xiaoyun said, "Okay, I'll make a copy for HR and send it to the security department later. As long as you're healthy, once you've passed the safety training, you can sign a 'Laboratory Safety Responsibility Commitment Letter.' Fill out the application form first."

Chen Yuan responded, "Okay."

He picked up a pen and filled out the application form, feeling incredibly happy.

Chen Yuan had always coveted Xinghe Company's laboratory, which was equipped with the most cutting-edge experimental equipment. In the past, every time he came here, he had to be led by Lao Qin.

Now that he can enter anytime after passing the safety training, he couldn't be happier!
