Chapter 103 The Timid Him (Fifteen) I'm Proud to Stand with My Motherland...
Song Ce handed over all the parameters and detailed information of the second-generation Yi Ying to Elder He. Upon learning this, the military high command quickly issued instructions, ordering Elder He and other leaders to do everything possible to keep this genius young man in the Armed Forces Research Department. In their eyes, Song Ce was like a rising star in science and technology, destined to lead the entire nation's military research and development to new heights.
At the same time, all of Song Ce's personal information was swiftly incorporated into the Chinese military's internal security system, the value and importance of which are self-evident.
After a quick lunch in the cafeteria, Song Ce hurried back to his lab. The inspiration that had suddenly struck him during his meal was still lingering in his mind, and he couldn't wait to use the remaining components to conduct a preliminary test of his idea.
"Knock, knock, knock." A rhythmic knock broke the silence of the research room. Song Ce put down the parts in his hand, his face showing his usual gentle expression, "Come in."
The person who came was Shi Yunting, who had brought him to the Armed Forces Research Department. He walked in with a composed-looking soldier. The two walked in step and gave Song Ce a standard military salute, one in front of the other.
"Hello, Comrade Song Ce. This is Comrade Liu Junzhou. From this day forward, Comrade Liu Junzhou will be fully responsible for your daily life and security. In the future, if you have any needs in your research work or life, you can raise them with Comrade Liu Junzhou. The state will do its best to meet all your reasonable requests, and the Armed Forces Research Department will also create the best research environment for you."
Song Ce nodded slightly, looked at Liu Junzhou with gentle eyes, and said calmly, "Comrade Junzhou, I'll be relying on you from now on."
Upon hearing this, Liu Junzhou immediately stood up straight and returned the salute. "Comrade Song Ce, please rest assured, ensuring your life and safety is my duty."
After Shi Yunting took his leave, Song Ce looked at Liu Junzhou and tentatively asked, "Do I currently have the authority to apply for some ultra-high performance Mpous soft magnetic materials and Ratrz new gold materials?"
Both of these materials are extremely rare and cannot be bought with money on the market. Upon hearing this, Liu Junzhou immediately took out his notebook, wrote down Song Ce's requirements one by one, then quickly took a picture and sent the information. A reply came from the other end in less than a minute.
Liu Junzhou: "Of course!"
Song Ce nodded and said gently, "Thank you."
Liu Junzhou responded with a smile, "Comrade Song Ce, your request will be fully supported by the higher authorities. These materials are expected to be delivered to your research lab by tomorrow morning."
“Okay.” Song Ce nodded, then turned back to the testing table and continued fiddling with the unfinished parts. He wrote the manuscript at lightning speed while muttering various test data under his breath, completely immersed in his work.
Seeing this, Liu Junzhou silently stepped aside and stood quietly in the corner.
Before they knew it, evening had fallen, and the lights in the research lab appeared exceptionally soft in the twilight. At this moment, Song Ce was deep in thought, head bowed. Liu Junzhou glanced at the time, not daring to disturb him, and could only quietly watch over this excessively young researcher.
More than an hour later, the two components in Song Ce's hands clicked together perfectly. He immediately felt a huge weight lifted from his shoulders, leaning back in his chair and muttering to himself, "Just a little bit more, just a little bit more..."
Just then, Song Ce's stomach rumbled at an inopportune moment.
Liu Junzhou couldn't help but gently remind him, "Comrade Song Ce, it's already dinner time. Would you like to go eat first?"
Upon hearing this, Song Ce put down his tools, gently rubbed his throbbing temples, and said apologetically, "Sorry, I forgot the time. Let's go to the cafeteria."
“You don’t need to go to the cafeteria yourself. The room next door has been connected to your research lab, and the food has been prepared for you,” Liu Junzhou said.
Song Ce nodded slightly and went to the next room. The dinner on the table was much more lavish than what he usually ate in the research department's cafeteria. After quickly finishing his meal, Song Ce returned to the research lab to continue assembling the remaining loose components.
Three months later.
Song Ce placed an exquisitely crafted circular bracelet on the notebook, then gently tapped it with his index finger. Instantly, a semi-transparent shield of light appeared on the notebook, its surface shimmering with a pale blue glow, its interior crackling with mysterious purple honeycomb veins, radiating a soft yet undeniable aura.
Liu Junzhou's eyes widened in surprise at the sight. Song Ce stood up, smiled slightly at him, and asked, "Is the research room bulletproof?"
"Report, bulletproof!" Liu Junzhou replied solemnly, his expression turning serious.
"That's good."
As soon as Song Ce finished speaking, a silver-gray pistol suddenly appeared in his hand. Without the slightest hesitation, he raised his hand and pulled the trigger on the light shield.
Liu Junzhou's pupils dilated slightly, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Comrade Song Ce???"
The bullet struck the light shield and, as if hitting an invisible wall, remained completely still. It fell to the ground with a crisp "thud."
Liu Junzhou froze on the spot upon seeing this. He had been following Song Ce around the clock these past few days, yet he had no idea that Song Ce was hiding such a handgun!
"Comrade Song Ce, this cover is... no, where did you get this gun?" Liu Junzhou hurriedly stepped forward, firmly protecting Song Ce behind him, and asked with a face full of fear.
Upon hearing this, Song Ce smiled innocently and explained, "I made the gun myself, and this shield is called the X1 Energy Shield, which is my latest invention."
An energy shield... Could it be one of those magical shields from science fiction movies that can withstand attacks?
“The research lab has limited space, making it inconvenient to conduct comprehensive testing. Let’s go to the testing field,” Song Ce said with a smile.
"Please go ahead."
The two left the research lab one after the other. Before leaving, Liu Junzhou gave a subtle hand signal to the two soldiers on duty at the door, and then quickly left.
Upon arriving at the testing ground, Song Ce attached his wristband to target number one and casually placed a piece of white paper on the target's head. Then, he turned to Liu Junzhou and asked, "Junzhou, can you hit the target's head from 100 meters away?"
"Yes, I can!" Liu Junzhou replied confidently.
"Okay, please aim at the head of the first target, preferably at the location where the white paper is," Song Ce said.
Upon hearing this, Liu Junzhou immediately drew his sidearm, stood with his legs firmly apart, tilted his head slightly, aimed at the white paper at the head of the first target, and fired three shots in quick succession.
Seeing the admiring expression on Song Ce's face, Liu Junzhou put away his sidearm with a bit of embarrassment. Back in the army, he had set the highest record for single-person rifle combat, and was the youngest rifleman in the entire company.
Liu Junzhou was confident that all three shots he had fired must have hit the target.
Song Ce walked to target number one first. Sure enough, the three bullets that Liu Junzhou had just fired were now lying quietly under target number one.
Liu Junzhou, who was following closely behind, also saw the three bullets. He was stunned and exclaimed in disbelief, "Impossible!"
Song Ce smiled slightly and gestured for him to look at the number one marker.
At this moment, a translucent blue-purple light shield, exactly the same as the small light shield he had just seen in the research lab, was flowing on the No. 1 marker.
"No, no way..." Liu Junzhou murmured subconsciously.
After a moment's thought, Song Ce took off the bracelet from the No. 1 target, put it on his wrist, and activated it with his fingerprint. He then took out the silver pistol from before and fired a shot directly into his left palm without hesitation.
Upon seeing this, Liu Junzhou exclaimed in surprise, "Comrade Song Ce!!??"
"See, it's alright." Song Ce smiled gently, slowly opening his palm to show Liu Junzhou.
Liu Junzhou was at a loss for words. He was both amazed by the young man's unparalleled research achievements and astonished by his bold actions.
Is he really only eighteen years old?
"With the X1 energy shield, our comrades on the front lines will be able to better protect their own safety," Song Ce said casually.
Upon hearing this, Liu Junzhou's eyes welled up with tears. As a soldier, while they were protecting their country on the front lines, there was such a brilliant researcher quietly working on protective shields to ensure their safety. At that moment, a warm feeling welled up in his heart, and he felt that even if he were to give his life for this person, he would have no regrets.
Touched as he was, Liu Junzhou looked at the seemingly ordinary bracelet on Song Ce's wrist and asked curiously, "Comrade Song Ce, this bracelet, no, this X1 energy shield, must have been very troublesome to make!"
"Fortunately, the overall cost of producing the finished product is within a controllable range and is not high. Even with mass production, there shouldn't be any major problems."
Liu Junzhou: "!!!"
He couldn't help but ask again to confirm, "You mean, this X1 energy shield can be mass-produced and isn't expensive?"
Song Ce nodded slightly, then took out another identical bracelet from his pocket and handed it to Liu Junzhou, "Here you go."
"For...for me?" Liu Junzhou stammered.
“Yes, we had plenty of materials, so I made a few extra. After registering and binding your fingerprint as instructed, you can start using them,” Song Ce said gently.
"Thank you... thank you so much."
Liu Junzhou followed Song Ce back to the research room, looking dazed.
The commotion at the test site did not escape the notice of the military's top brass. Soon, Liu Junzhou received an encrypted message on his internal cell phone.
"Come to A-101 immediately, emergency meeting." The sender appeared to be a high-level military liaison line.
Liu Junzhou didn't dare to delay at all. He immediately handed over the protection work to the soldiers at the entrance of the research room, and then jogged all the way to A-101.
At this moment, A-101 was already filled with high-ranking military officials and senior experts from the ordnance and defense industries. Liu Junzhou's superiors, Shi Yunting and He Lao, were also among them.
One of the elderly men, with gray hair and a dignified face, immediately stood up upon seeing Liu Junzhou and asked, "Comrade Liu Junzhou! Take off the bracelet on your wrist so we can see it!"
"Yes, sir!" Liu Junzhou immediately saluted respectfully, and after scanning the fingerprint, he took off the bracelet and handed it to the old man with both hands.
The old man took the bracelet with trembling hands, examined it carefully for a moment, and then pressed the fingerprint recognition area, just like Liu Junzhou had done. He waited for almost a minute, but the bracelet did not respond at all, and the semi-transparent blue-purple protective shield that had appeared in the video did not appear.
Upon seeing this, Liu Junzhou saluted again and shouted, "Sir! This bracelet is already bound to my fingerprint, so only my fingerprint can successfully activate the X1 Energy Shield!"
"Try turning it on," the old man said solemnly.
"Yes!" Liu Junzhou said, respectfully taking the bracelet from the old man's hand, putting it on his wrist, and then pressing his fingerprint.
In an instant, the same translucent light shield as in the video reappeared on his body. Strange blue-purple light flowed on the energy shield, illuminating the eyes of everyone inside A-101.
