Special Forces: At the beginning, An Ran pulled him to get his certificate.

Outside the steel company's laboratory, everyone was still immersed in the dreamlike atmosphere, unable to recover from the shock of the successful forging of the new type of steel.

No one could have predicted that this seemingly unattainable goal could be achieved so quickly and smoothly. The whole process was like a magnificent yet unreal dream, making people feel as if nothing was real.

Although the details of the forging process led by Chen Jun were difficult to see through the glass, the core command structure was clearly visible.

Throughout the process, Chen Jun acted as a navigator in control of the overall situation. The renowned professors from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, who were highly respected in the scientific research community and regarded as the leading figures, were all around Chen Jun, closely cooperating with his every move.

The scene resembled a race against time in a hospital operating room, with Chen Jun as the highly skilled attending physician, holding the reins of life and death, and the professors as well-trained nurses. Even more astonishing was the sight of these respected and revered professors personally taking towels and carefully wiping the sweat from Chen Jun's brow. Their meticulous care was no different from that of a devoted female assistant, a scene that once again shattered everyone's expectations.

Chen Jun led his team out of the laboratory with composure and went straight to General Manager Lin, saying, "Prepare a meeting room and gather all the key technical personnel in your company. No matter where they are or whether they are on duty, they must be notified immediately to return as quickly as possible. I have something extremely important to discuss with them."

The breathtaking scene just now had completely impressed President Lin. As a shrewd businessman who had been navigating the business world for many years and had managed his company to great success with his keen business acumen and outstanding decision-making ability, he instantly realized that this seemingly accidental opportunity was actually a golden chance for the company to usher in a historic transformation and achieve a qualitative leap.

As long as the company can seize the powerful "tailwind" of Chen Jun and leverage the immeasurable resources and strength behind him, its future will surely shine as brightly as a star.

"Yes, sir. I will personally make the arrangements immediately to ensure that all the company's key technical personnel are gathered here without exception. I will absolutely follow your instructions and arrangements."

He then immediately turned to his female secretary and said, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go notify the people as the leader has instructed! Be quick and efficient, don't dawdle, don't keep the leader and the experts waiting, go now!"

The female secretary was startled by Mr. Lin's urgent attitude. Without daring to delay, she hurriedly accepted the order and ran away.

General Lin smiled broadly and looked at Chen Jun again, his tone carrying just the right amount of concern and suggestion: "Comrade Chief, it will probably take a while before everyone arrives. Why don't you come to my office to rest for a bit, have some tea, and relax? The professors from the Chinese Academy of Sciences have also had a long journey, so it's good for them to rest in my office as well. I promise to let you know as soon as everyone arrives."

Chen Jun frowned slightly, about to respond, but Old Song spoke first, patting Chen Jun's shoulder with a friendly smile and saying, "Well, Dean Chen, it's been quite a while since you've had a proper get-together and chat with everyone at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. We have a bunch of important things on our minds, and we'd like to find a quiet office to have a good in-depth discussion with you."

Hearing Lao Song say this, Chen Jun smiled helplessly and could only nod in agreement.

Upon seeing this, General Manager Lin was overjoyed, his excitement evident in his words.

He immediately turned around and enthusiastically led everyone to his luxurious office. Upon entering, Mr. Lin, like a well-trained and attentive female assistant, quickly and skillfully got to work.

He first carefully pulled out chairs for everyone, then went straight to the tea cabinet and carefully selected some of his treasured fine teas to personally brew tea for these national-level scientific research leaders.

After doing all this, General Manager Lin tactfully bowed slightly and said softly, "Distinguished leaders and experts, I won't disturb you any longer. If you need anything, please let me know." With that, he turned and quietly left the office, gently closing the door behind him.

The door had barely closed when the female secretary rushed up behind Mr. Lin. She frowned slightly, a hint of worry and hesitation on her face. Leaning closer to him, she whispered, “Mr. Lin, I’ve relayed the instructions as you requested. However… this is, after all, your private office. Isn’t it inappropriate to hold such an important event here? There are a lot of top-secret company documents stored here. What if…”

Upon hearing this, President Lin was startled, and his smiling face instantly turned serious.

He whirled around, his eyes wide, staring intently at the female secretary, and snapped, "What are you saying? You need to think carefully about your position and the boundaries of your speech! Don't you know who these people are? They're all top figures in their respective fields. If they could just reveal even a tiny bit of core technology to our company, our company would immediately soar to new heights! Do you understand?"

"Boss, do you mean they will teach us their steel forging technology without reservation?" The female secretary asked cautiously, her eyes filled with confusion.

"Your vision is too narrow and short-sighted! Steel forging technology is just the tip of the iceberg in their eyes. I reckon the benefits are far more than that." President Lin narrowed his eyes slightly, a deep and confident expression on his face. He crossed his arms and slowly said, "The breakthrough success in steel research has far-reaching implications. It signifies an unprecedented qualitative leap in chip technology. The connection between the two is intricate; a change in one affects the whole system. Anyway, remember this well: this General Chen's identity is mysterious and unfathomable. One moment he's a commanding leader, the next he's the president of the National Academy of Sciences, controlling the overall scientific research. We must do everything in our power to fully cooperate with any of his actions, understand?"

Upon hearing this, the female secretary felt a chill run down her spine, and a strong sense of awe welled up within her. She nodded vigorously, her voice trembling slightly, and said, "I...I understand!"

To have managed a steel company to the forefront of the domestic industry, President Lin is certainly no ordinary person.

With his keen insight and accurate judgment accumulated over many years in the business world, he keenly perceived the extraordinary and terrifying nature of Chen Jun's identity by observing the heartfelt respect and obedience these leading figures in the scientific community showed to Chen Jun.

To become the head of the Chinese Academy of Sciences at such a young age, and to have these highly respected professors who have worked in academia for many years obey him so readily, the energy and influence behind this is simply beyond imagination.

Now that Chen Jun has chosen his company, it is undoubtedly a tremendous surprise and opportunity bestowed upon General Manager Lin by fate.

An hour later, all of the company's key technical personnel gathered in the company's largest conference room.

Everyone wore a mixture of curiosity and doubt, wondering what important matter awaited them. Even a technician who was receiving an IV drip at the hospital, disregarding his discomfort, resolutely pulled out the needle and rushed back with the IV bag.

Chen Jun strode into the conference room with steady steps. Behind him, the guards, with serious expressions, slowly closed the door in unison, then stood upright on both sides like tall pine trees, guarding him.

The previously relaxed atmosphere instantly turned solemn and tense, as if the air itself had frozen. Those seated inside were so startled by this sudden change that they dared not breathe, their gazes involuntarily drawn to the fully armed guards at the door. The guards, their guns gripped tightly, their cold faces and resolute eyes adding an air of gravity and mystery to the conference room, inspiring awe in everyone present.

Chen Jun walked steadily onto the platform, his gaze calm yet profound, like an endless power hidden beneath a tranquil lake. He scanned the crowd below and said in a steady and powerful voice, "Please relax, everyone. Don't be too nervous. I've gathered you all here to announce something of paramount importance concerning the fate of our nation and the future of our people. This matter is of great significance, and each of us must shoulder our responsibilities and go all out."

Everyone looked up, their eyes filled with surprise, curiosity, and a hint of nervousness, silently watching Chen Jun, awaiting his next words. Chen Jun paused slightly, took a deep breath, and continued, "From now on, the country will establish a pilot laboratory in your company. Many of you must have witnessed the steel forging process I just demonstrated in the lab. This is no ordinary experiment; it's a crucial component of the nation's future development strategy, carrying the hopes for the country's technological rise. Next, professors from the Chinese Academy of Sciences will form a professional guidance team to impart to you, without reservation, the latest, world-leading steel forging technology."

"As a groundbreaking new forging steel technology, its advanced level is world-leading and it concerns the core interests of the country and international competitiveness, so it must be kept strictly confidential. Lao Song, take out the confidentiality agreement and give everyone a copy."

As soon as he finished speaking, Old Song, accompanied by several assistants, began distributing a thick stack of confidentiality agreements to people on site.

Chen Jun's expression grew increasingly serious, his cold gaze sweeping over everyone in the audience. He spoke slowly and deliberately, "I must solemnly emphasize to everyone here that if the technology for this new material is leaked, it will be no small matter. Everyone involved, including yourselves, your families, and your friends, will face extremely serious consequences. Once a leak occurs, you will mysteriously disappear from this world, without exception. This is not an exaggeration, but a serious warning concerning national interests and security."

Just moments before, Chen Jun had been speaking calmly, but now he seemed to have instantly transformed into a cold and ruthless iceberg. His words, like icy arrows, were chilling and carried an undeniable authority, piercing straight into the hearts of everyone present, causing them to involuntarily shiver. The atmosphere in the conference room became even more oppressive, and everyone felt the heavy weight of responsibility on their shoulders.

"Please rest assured, sir. Since this is a state secret, we will keep it confidential at the cost of our lives after signing the agreement. We will not leak it even if it costs us our lives." A senior technical expert stood up first and said with a firm expression.

"Commander, rest assured! The research and development of steel is closely linked to the development of new chips. This concerns the core interests of the country and is the key to our nation's great rejuvenation. We will definitely supervise each other and form an unbreakable line of defense to ensure that no information leaks out." Another young technician stood up excitedly, clenched his fist, and expressed his determination.

Everyone expressed their opinions, their words sincere and firm.

Seeing everyone's resolute attitude, Chen Jun finally smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "Since everyone has made such a firm commitment, then sign. After signing, you will receive systematic and comprehensive training. During the training, I hope everyone will study diligently and master this advanced technology."

Watching everyone sign the papers, Chen Jun pondered to himself. He knew that human nature was unpredictable, and to ensure the absolute security of the technology, he had to take even more stringent measures. He couldn't allow these technicians to master the entire technology on their own, lest there be a risk of leaks.

After the agreement was signed, the senior professors from the Chinese Academy of Sciences acted swiftly, assembling a professional training team without delay, in accordance with the established plan and procedures. They were keenly aware of the significant mission they bore: only by cultivating these technical backbones into professionals skilled in forging new types of steel could large-scale production of these steels be achieved, providing a solid material foundation for the country's scientific and technological development and national defense.

In the days that followed, the training proceeded intensively and systematically. The professors generously shared their knowledge and experience accumulated over many years with the technical staff without reservation.

Time flies, a week later...

Finally, the first batch of new steel was successfully produced amidst everyone's anticipation.

Chen Jun personally led a professional testing team to conduct rigorous and meticulous testing on this batch of steel.

The moment the test results came out, the entire laboratory erupted in cheers—the performance of the new steel had increased by a staggering sixty times compared to the original steel! This astonishing discovery left the scientists on site ecstatic.

Among them, Old Song was particularly excited. His face was flushed, and he shouted excitedly, "Holy crap, holy crap, I never thought we could develop such high-performance steel so quickly! This is simply a miracle! With this solid foundation, the great rejuvenation of our nation is truly just around the corner!"

Other scientists echoed their sentiments, and joyful cheers resounded throughout the laboratory. No one had expected that Chen Jun, who hadn't led such a significant research project in a long time, would produce such a world-shaking result.

"Don't get too excited yet, this is just the first step. We still need to continue to optimize the forging process and increase the production volume. Only when the quality stabilizes and production efficiency is greatly improved can we truly embark on a grander undertaking."

Time slipped away quietly amidst the intense yet hopeful scientific research.

Every member of the research team is like a tireless warrior, working day and night in the laboratory to continuously optimize and improve the forging process.

Finally, the second batch of steel was successfully produced. After more rigorous and precise testing, the performance of this batch of steel achieved a qualitative leap compared to the first batch, improving fivefold. More importantly, the forging speed was significantly increased, reducing the time by more than half. This means that not only is the quality of the steel superior, meeting higher usage requirements, but production efficiency has also been greatly improved, enabling the production of more steel in a shorter time, truly achieving the goal of "faster and stronger."

"The new type of steel will be called Yan Steel, representing the pinnacle of steel created by the descendants of Yan and Huang. It symbolizes the wisdom and strength of our nation and is an important symbol of our technological rise. In the future, if we develop even more advanced new materials, we can name them the second generation, the third generation, and so on..."

The birth of Yan Steel marked the beginning of Yan State's possession of a new type of steel that was mass-produced and led the world, the significance of which is self-evident.
