Chapter 80: New Goals and a Call from the Military?

The day after returning to the research institute, a copy of a document marked "Top Secret" was delivered to Feng Yan.

In the document, superiors gave a highly affirmative evaluation of the "breakthrough" and "subversive" performance of the Dragon Chant team in the Cuiyun Mountain fire rescue.

The lines clearly pointed out that this confidential project, which was forced to debut early due to the major disaster,

had revealed strategic value and application potential that had already attracted attention at the highest level.

The document implicitly mentioned that given the project had been partially disclosed, after comprehensive judgment, it was decided to go with the flow—moderate publicity.

Internally, to unite the hearts of the people and demonstrate the country's technological strength and responsibility.

Externally, to form a strategic deterrent, clearly conveying the signal that technical barriers in key areas had been broken.

And the Dragon Chant team was the most dazzling business card in this strategic layout.

This also explained why so many related videos could screen-fill the internet after the mountain fire crisis, and even official media took the initiative to speak out and promote it.

At the end of the document, the development outline for the next stage of the Dragon Chant Research Institute was approved.

The intensity of resource tilt was unprecedented, and at the same time, it required accelerating the efficiency of transforming technical achievements into actual combat capabilities.

Putting down the document, Feng Yan took a deep breath.

He instantly understood that the Cuiyun Mountain fire rescue was not just a touchstone for technology, but a key weight thrown into the strategic chess game.

Dragon Chant was no longer just a simple R&D project; it had been given heavier responsibilities and also ushered in a broader stage.

He picked up the "Dragon Chant System Second Stage R&D and Actual Combat Promotion Plan" on the table.

The corners of the cover had been rubbed fuzzy by repeated touching, and it contained a large number of improvement directions based on problems exposed in actual combat.

This report was heavy, carrying both the blueprint for technical iteration and responding to the expectations and heavy trust in the top-secret document.

The actual combat review meeting that ended only yesterday, every shortcoming on the list had clearly defined improvement persons in charge and time nodes.

Wang Hao complained that the improvement plan was thorny, but he had long been pulling support team members to gesture and deduce next to the "Peregrine Falcon" launcher;

Li Yang plunged into the "Insect Workshop," facing the "Chengshan" exoskeleton that still had slight leakage traces at the joints, his eyes focused as if he were going to disassemble and reassemble the entire equipment;

Chen Guang was immersed in the ocean of data, the dense formulas and curve graphs on the screen scrolling rapidly, even blinking with rhythm.

No champagne for celebration, only thicker drawings and more urgent tasks. This was his team—after being tempered by fire, they did not expand, but became more condensed.

Just then, Feng Yan's encrypted communicator vibrated suddenly, with a unique rhythm, different from usual.

An internal code jumped out on the screen, and the prefix was "Southwest Blade."

This was the code name of a highly confidential, specialized special operations brigade-level unit of the military.

Feng Yan's expression became solemn, he made a gesture of silence to everyone, and answered the communication.

"Team Leader Feng Yan? I am 'Southwest Blade' operations staff officer Gao Cheng."

From the other end of the encrypted channel, the voice was crisp and neat, "We followed your performance in Cuiyun Mountain the whole way."

He paused, his tone carrying undisguised appreciation:

"Especially the assault and support capability of that black heavy exoskeleton in complex terrain."

"And the reconnaissance and harassment network composed of those 'little things', very much to our taste!"

"This coincides with our vision for future combat scenarios!"

Feng Yan's heart moved, instantly realizing the weight of this call.

Far exceeding previous media interviews or department inquiries, this was direct recognition and interest from front-line elite troops!

"Staff Officer Gao is too kind, we just did our best." Feng Yan responded cautiously, maintaining steadiness.

"No polite words." Gao Cheng went straight to the point, "Our brigade commander is very interested in the 'Dragon Chant' system, especially the individual exoskeleton and unmanned cluster technology."

"Hoping to invite your team to bring relevant equipment to our wild comprehensive training base for a non-public technical demonstration and adaptability test."

He specifically emphasized "non-public" and "adaptability test":

"We need to verify the true effectiveness of these technologies when facing more cunning 'enemies' in scenarios closer to actual combat."

"Don't worry, all processes strictly comply with procedures."

Feng Yan's heart jumped a few beats faster.

Special operations brigade! Wild comprehensive training base!

This was no longer a test of rescue scenarios, but a trial infinitely close to the real battlefield!

This was the key step for "Dragon Chant" technology to move from the laboratory and specific rescue scenarios to a broader world!

"Thanks to the trust of 'Blade'!" Feng Yan suppressed the excitement in his heart, his tone firm.

"The Dragon Chant Research Institute attaches great importance to it, we will immediately start preparing and cooperate fully!"

"Good! Specific time, location, and summary of test content will be sent through secure channels."

"Looking forward to meeting your 'Dragon Chant'!" Gao Cheng ended the communication cleanly.

The conference room was silent, and everyone heard the communication content clearly.

Wang Hao was the first to jump up, his eyes wide:

"Damn! Special operations brigade? 'Southwest Blade'?"

"That's a legendary unit! They want to test our gear?"

He rubbed his hands excitedly and turned in circles:

"My 'Peregrine Falcon' can finally show off its skills against... uh, simulated targets!"

"No, I have to hurry up and optimize the anti-interference algorithm!"

Li Yang's movement of wiping parts paused slightly, and the picture of Iron Wolf Mark II charging and fighting in a complex tactical environment seemed to have emerged in his eyes.

He silently picked up the tablet and pulled up the notes he had recorded about the tactical action optimization and electromagnetic interference that the exoskeleton might encounter in simulated confrontation.

Chen Guang quickly created a new encrypted folder on the terminal, named "Project-Blade Collaboration."

As his fingers flew, he had already started listing the equipment list that needed to be prepared in advance, data interface protocols, and system hardening plans under high-intensity confrontation environments.

Even Zhao Gong, who was always expressionless, nodded slightly and hummed:

"Whether it's a mule or a horse, you have to take it out for a walk."

Feng Yan looked at the team that had instantly entered a "combat readiness state," took a deep breath, and walked to the whiteboard in front of the conference room.

He picked up the eraser and slowly erased the dense problem list and improvement ideas on it.

Under the gaze of everyone, he held the pen and drew three clear circles in the center of the whiteboard.

"Brothers, we have new goals." His voice was not high, but carried unquestionable power.

"Mountain fire was just a verification of our technical feasibility."

"Next, our 'Dragon Chant' is going to truly spread its wings."

He pointed to the first circle: "First, military deepening."

"Taking the cooperation with 'Southwest Blade' as an opportunity, fully optimize the tactical adaptability of the Iron Wolf platform and bionic robot cluster!"

"Old Li, you lead this part, you must bring out something that can make the special operations brigade's eyes light up!"

He pointed to the second circle: "Second, police expansion."

"Based on 'Chengshan' and 'Insect' technology, develop special modules suitable for special police, anti-terrorism, and reconnaissance. The concept of 'police insect pack' must be prototyped as soon as possible!"

Finally, he pointed to the third circle: "Third, civilian transformation."

"The iteration of the civilian model of 'Chengshan' cannot stop, the logistics and rescue market potential is huge;"

"At the same time, Guangzi's laser scanning technology must also accelerate its landing in the fields of ancient building restoration and geological exploration!"

His gaze swept over every face burning with fighting spirit, and his tone became more firm:

"Three lines, advancing in parallel! We must let the voice of 'Dragon Chant' resound in more fields!"

Wang Hao rubbed his hands and grinned: "No problem, Brother Feng!"

"Guarantee to let those special forces see what technological crushing is!"

Li Yang nodded heavily, his eyes burning with light.

Chen Guang pushed up his glasses, his fingertips already dancing into afterimages on the keyboard.

Zhao Gong stood with his hands behind his back looking out the window, the corners of his mouth seeming to hook a faint arc.

The new horizon was slowly unfolding. ===== CHAPTER 81 =====
