Chapter 60: End of Volume · New Horizon

The excitement of the successful "Dragon Chant Initial Test" echoed in the testing field for a long time before subsiding.

Every expert's face carried undisguised excitement and appreciation.

Their gazes toward the young team in the field were completely different.

If they were previously examining "potential stocks" with scrutiny.

Then at this moment, they were regarded as peers who could truly stand on their own, or even lead a certain technical direction.

Senior Colonel Zhou strode to Feng Yan and patted him hard on the shoulder, his voice loud, carrying the straightforwardness unique to soldiers:

"Good! Comrade Feng Yan, and your team! Today's 'Dragon Chant Initial Test' opened the eyes of this old guy!"

"Not just equipment performance, but this combat concept, and your ability to respond to changes!"

"'Dragon Chant' is a name well-deserved!"

Team Leader Zheng also walked up, with a gratified and solemn smile on his face:

"We have seen the data, it far exceeds expectations."

"Especially the multi-system collaboration and anti-interference ability, showing extremely high practical value."

"We will issue a detailed evaluation report as soon as possible."

"But the result is beyond doubt—'Dragon Chant' project, first-stage R&D goal, successfully achieved!"

"You have handed in an amazing answer sheet to the country!"

The official, high-level recognition finally fell, and the team members looked at each other.

Although they tried their best to restrain themselves, the excitement and the light of relief in their eyes could not be covered.

Li Yang's tightly pursed corners of his mouth lifted by a pixel, Chen Guang pushed up his glasses, and the light behind the lenses was bright.

Wang Hao was even more excited, his face flushed, and he waved his fist hard.

This time he didn't shout, just grinned foolishly.

Feeling this heavy joy.

Zhao Gong checked the "Iron Wolf" joint parts that had just finished the test without changing his expression.

As if the shocking demonstration just now had nothing to do with him.

But the slight nod revealed his inner approval.

The subsequent process was compact and efficient.

The expert team and Feng Yan and others had a short on-site exchange.

Raised a few questions about technical details.

All were answered clearly and professionally by the team members.

More were discussions around future application scenarios and deepening directions.

The atmosphere was warm and constructive.

Feng Yan could clearly feel that the success of this demonstration.

Had opened the door to a broader stage for "Dragon Chant."

When the sunset glow dyed the glass curtain wall of the "Dragon Chant" Research Institute into a warm gold.

The testing field that had been noisy all day finally became completely quiet.

The massive equipment stopped roaring.

Only the cleaning robot (automatic sweeper) made a faint buzzing sound, doing the finishing work.

The core team members did not return to their dormitories or laboratories immediately.

Instead, they gathered again at the small rest area next to the "Insect Workshop."

There was still a little bit of solder and lubricating oil smell here, mixed with the familiar aroma of instant noodles.

I don't know who tacitly brewed a few buckets of braised beef and spicy beef noodles.

Placed on that "dining table" transformed from an old workbench.

No one spoke, and a strange tranquility of extreme fatigue and extreme relaxation after the battle filled the air.

Wang Hao slumped in his chair, grabbed a bucket of noodles, and ate it with a slurping sound.

After a few bites, he let out a long breath, as if to exhale all the tension accumulated throughout the day.

"Finally... over." He muttered vaguely.

"I feel like I've exhausted all my energy for this lifetime today."

But soon, the fatigue on his face was replaced by excitement.

He looked at Feng Yan, his eyes shining: "Brother Feng, have we established a foothold now?"

"Can we get more funding later and make a bigger splash?"

Li Yang silently picked up another bucket of noodles and ate quickly, but his movements were still stable.

His gaze swept over the "Iron Wolf Type II" standing quietly in the corner.

And landed on the sketches on the whiteboard about the deepening of "civilian auxiliary exoskeleton" and "bionic legion."

His eyes carried the scrutiny and thinking unique to a creator.

He didn't participate in the discussion, but obviously, his thoughts had already flown to the next technical problem.

Chen Guang sipped the noodle soup, his other hand habitually sliding on the tablet computer.

Reviewing the preliminary summarized test data.

"According to preliminary analysis, 'Spider II' still has room for improvement in movement efficiency in complex pipes."

"'Mechanical Butterfly' cluster's self-organizing network algorithm convergence speed under strong electromagnetic interference can be further optimized..."

He paused and looked at Wang Hao, "In addition, Haozi."

"The overload data of the first and second stage separation of your multi-stage verification missile has some abnormal fluctuations."

"We might need to analyze the sensor records together."

Wang Hao got excited immediately: "No problem! Guangzi, send me the data packet!"

"I'm just pondering how to make that thing separate more smoothly!"

His performance at this moment was already an engineer eager to solve technical problems.

Not just a demonstrator satisfied with success.

Feng Yan looked at these partners who had just experienced a major victory.

But were already rubbing their hands for technical details and future directions before even finishing their instant noodles.

A smile from the heart appeared on his face.

He put down the empty noodle bucket and his gaze swept over every young and vibrant face.

He knew that this "grass-roots team" that had once relied on instant noodles and an unyielding spirit in a dilapidated warehouse.

After experiencing the trouble of energy bottlenecks, the test of national-level defense, the joining of top craftsmen, and today's brilliant initial inspection.

Had truly been tempered into steel.

Growing into a force capable of turning whimsical imagination into reality one by one.

"The road is still long." Feng Yan spoke, his voice not high.

But carrying a clear, unquestionable power.

Attracting everyone's attention, "The road of 'Dragon Chant' has just begun."

"Today's success only won us the admission ticket for the next stage."

He picked up a pen and drew three circles on the whiteboard.

"Next, our core task is 'technical decomposition' and 'specialized tackling'."

He pointed to the first circle, "Old Li, you lead"

"Make the exoskeleton platform and bionic robot directions deep and thorough."

"Especially the 'civilian auxiliary type' you conceived, get a testable prototype as soon as possible."

Then pointed to the second circle: "Haozi, your 'precision delivery system' has proven its potential"

"The next step is to move toward serialization and practicality, and solidify the idea of 'multi-stage trajectory change'."

"At the same time, explore broader application scenarios."

Finally pointed to the third circle: "Guangzi, your laser technology needs to continue to break through in the two dimensions of 'energy' and 'information'."

"Find nodes for deep integration with the other two directions."

He finally looked at Zhao Gong: "Zhao Gong, all of this is inseparable from the cornerstone of 'precision manufacturing' you are steering."

He didn't say too many inspiring words, but this clear direction and entrusted heavy responsibility.

Could stimulate the team's fighting spirit more than any slogan.

Wang Hao was the first to jump up, rubbing his hands:

"Understood! Brother Feng! Just watch! My 'missile family' will definitely make a name for itself!"

Li Yang nodded heavily, his gaze even more focused.

Chen Guang pushed up his glasses and had already started creating new project folders on his tablet.

Zhao Gong hummed, which was considered default.

But his eyes showed approval for the drive of these young people.

Outside the window, the night had already covered the sky, and the stars were twinkling.

Like countless flickering dreams, quietly overlooking the earth.

And inside the "Dragon Chant" Research Institute, the lights of the "Insect Workshop" were still bright.

Resonating with the starlight of the firmament, as if silently declaring.

The dreams burning here and the passion for creation will never be extinguished.

The aroma of instant noodles gradually dissipated.

But the new chapter belonging to "Dragon Chant," full of infinite possibilities, has just unveiled its prelude. ===== CHAPTER 61 =====
