Chapter 203 Taking a Long Vacation to Visit Relatives
Around 2 p.m., the crowds gradually thinned out.
Xu Zhili was preparing to adjust the parameters of the Smart Guard-1 when the robot suddenly issued an unprecedentedly urgent alarm: "Firearm-featured object detected, danger level: extremely high! Location: inside pocket of the third staff member on the right!"
All eyes instantly focused on a middle-aged man in overalls.
Zhang Jianjun immediately became alert, but remained outwardly calm: "Comrade, please cooperate with the inspection."
The man paused for a moment, a hint of nervousness flashing across his face, but he quickly regained his composure: "Was it a false alarm? I only have tools on me."
The SmartGuard-1 moved in front of the man, maintaining its alarm: "Firearm-like object detected, accuracy 98.7%! Extreme danger!"
The man forced himself to remain calm: "This machine is clearly malfunctioning! I need to go and repair the equipment. Who will be responsible if production is delayed?"
Xu Zhili noticed that his name tag showed he was Engineer Sun from the Equipment Department, but his toolbox was unusually new, and his fingers were clean and free of grease, which was not like someone who frequently repaired equipment.
"Please cooperate with the inspection, Engineer Sun."
Zhang Jianjun insisted, while giving a wink to the sentry next to him.
Seeing that he couldn't refuse, the man suddenly turned around and rushed out of the factory gate!
"Stop him!" Zhang Jianjun shouted.
The sentry at the gate reacted quickly, but the man was already out of the gate.
Just then, a specially designed net suddenly shot out from the bottom of the Zhiwei-1, accurately covering the man and causing him to stagger and fall to the ground.
"The security threat has been contained," the robot calmly reported.
Zhang Jianjun found a compact handgun, already loaded, in the man's inner jacket pocket.
Further investigation revealed that his toolbox contained not repair tools at all, but explosive devices!
"You're not Engineer Sun! Who are you?" Zhang Jianjun asked sternly.
The man's face was ashen, and he remained silent.
After an emergency interrogation, it was confirmed that the man was indeed an enemy agent, and the real engineer, Mr. Sun, had been kidnapped and detained the previous night.
He attempted to infiltrate the core area of the arsenal and plant an explosive device.
Fortunately, the Smart Guard-1 accurately identified the hidden pistol and explosive device, preventing a potentially huge disaster.
The news sent shockwaves through the entire arsenal.
The military region leaders organized an emergency on-site meeting to watch the demonstration of the Smart Guard-1 and a replay of the entire incident.
"That's amazing!"
A military commander exclaimed, "Not only can it detect dangerous materials, but it can also proactively subdue the enemy! Comrade Xu Zhili, how did you design such an intelligent machine?"
Xu Zhili replied modestly, "You flatter me, sir. The comprehensive judgment capability of the Zhiwei-1 is based on multi-sensor data fusion and pattern recognition algorithms, while the emergency countermeasure function is designed to deal with extreme situations."
Director Chen added, "Comrade Xu Zhili not only designed this robot, but also created the night vision goggles, drones, and security inspection systems. She is a true treasure of our arsenal."
The leader looked at Xu Zhili in surprise: "You designed all of those? Young man, you are a genius that comes along only once in a century. The country needs talents like you."
A long and enthusiastic round of applause erupted from the audience. Xu Zhili blushed and lowered her head, her heart surging with excitement and pride.
After the demonstration, Xu Zhili was surrounded by technicians who asked her about the technical details of the Zhiwei-1.
She patiently answered all the questions, explaining everything from artificial intelligence algorithms to sensor technology, from mechanical design to electronic control systems, in a way that was both in-depth and easy to understand. Even the most senior engineers nodded in agreement.
"Mr. Xu, how did you develop such a brain? How can you understand so many cutting-edge technologies?" an experienced worker asked half-jokingly.
Xu Zhili smiled and said, "Learn more, think more, and practice more. Besides, this is not my achievement alone, but the result of the whole team's hard work."
Her humility earned her even more respect.
Some of the experienced workers initially had reservations about a young woman being appointed as a technical supervisor, but now they truly recognized her abilities.
In the evening, Xu Zhili stood alone in front of the Zhiwei-1 and gently patted her silver companion.
Beneath its cold exterior lies the most advanced technological concept of this era.
Although it is still very rudimentary compared to the intelligent robots of later generations, it has already created miracles in this era.
"Comrade Zhili." A voice came from behind. Xu Zhili turned around and saw Zhang Jianjun and all the sentries standing there.
"On behalf of all our sentry comrades, we express our sincerest gratitude to you."
Zhang Jianjun solemnly said, "With the Smart Guardian-1, our work is safer and more efficient. Today, you not only saved the factory area, but also saved the lives of all of us!"
Xu Zhili looked at these lovely soldiers with emotion: "This is what I should do. You are the ones who truly deserve our gratitude for protecting the factory area day and night."
“However,” Zhang Jianjun suddenly smiled slyly, “you have to compensate us with a meal.”
"Why?" Xu Zhili asked, puzzled.
"Because you let the Smart Guard-1 expose all the places where we hid our snacks!"
Upon hearing this, the sentries burst into laughter.
Xu Zhili smiled and said, "Okay, I'll treat everyone to dinner tomorrow, and there will be plenty to eat."
As the sun sets, the arsenal is bathed in the golden afterglow.
Xu Zhili knew that her scientific research journey was still long, and countless challenges awaited her ahead.
But at this moment, seeing her design truly come into play, protecting the people on this land, she felt immense satisfaction and happiness.
In the distance, a new mission awaited her.
The military region has approved her intelligent agricultural machinery project, which will soon be put into research and development, first equipping the military's agricultural and sideline production bases, and then promoting it to rural areas.
From the forefront of national defense to the fields, Xu Zhili's designs are changing every aspect of this era.
After the military region's arsenal project came to an end, the higher authorities granted Xu Zhili a month-long leave.
The intense work over the past few months had left her feeling exhausted, but what troubled her even more was that she hadn't received a letter from Xie Yunze for three months.
In their last communication, Xie Yunze mentioned that he was about to carry out a special mission, after which he disappeared without a trace.
Xu Zhili appeared calm on the surface, but her heart was filled with growing anxiety.
"Sis, do you miss your big brother?" her younger brother An'an asked playfully as he helped her pack her luggage.
Xu Zhili gently patted her younger brother's head: "What do children know?"
"I'm not a child anymore, what don't I understand?"
An'an retorted, "If you're embarrassed, I'll go with you to the military base to find him!"
These words enlightened Xu Zhili.
Yes, since you have a holiday, why not visit Xie Yunze's unit?
She immediately obtained a letter of introduction from the arsenal, packed her bags quickly, and the next day she and her younger brother embarked on their journey to Xie Yunze's unit.
