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

Just as Chen Jun was brimming with ambition, throwing himself into steel research and development, ready to make a big splash, a black sedan, like a black lightning bolt shattering the silence, sped in from outside the steel company. The car moved at breakneck speed, kicking up a cloud of dust, and drove straight through the gate into the heavily guarded area, finally coming to a smooth stop.

The car door slowly opened, and two people stepped out—You Lian and Lao Wen from the National Strategic Security Bureau. These two were primarily responsible for intelligence gathering within the Bureau. Unlike Lao Fan, whose style was lively and almost thuggish, they remained hidden in the shadows, silently collecting crucial intelligence in unnoticed corners to safeguard national security.

Their work may seem ordinary, but it is of paramount importance; every piece of intelligence could be related to the safety of the nation.

After showing his identification to the guard, Lao Wen hurried towards Chen Jun's location. At that moment, Chen Jun was earnestly discussing some matters with General Manager Lin; the atmosphere in the office was focused and serious. Chen Jun explained the key points of steel research and development in detail, while General Manager Lin listened attentively, nodding occasionally to show his understanding.

With outsiders present, Lao Wen could only stand quietly to the side, waiting patiently. A hint of anxiety was in his eyes, and he glanced at Chen Jun from time to time, as if he had something important to tell him.

"General Chen, someone's looking for you. I'll excuse myself for a moment and come back later." Having worked at the steel company for so long with Chen Jun, General Manager Lin had seen many prominent figures come to see him. He keenly noticed the unusual expression on Old Wen's face and tactfully offered to leave. With that, he hurriedly left the office, which had originally been his, now serving as Chen Jun's temporary workplace.

Inside the office, Lao Wen quietly closed the door and walked back to Chen Jun's side. His expression was exceptionally serious, his brows furrowed, and his tone revealed a hint of anxiety: "Boss, something terrible has happened. Put down your work and go back to the Security Bureau." To be honest, Lao Wen and You Lian had no idea what Chen Jun had been busy with lately. They only saw him suddenly immersing himself in research at the steel company, which left them quite puzzled. They knew Chen Jun always had his own plans, but this action filled them with doubt.

"Is there some movement from the Anti-Yan Alliance?" Chen Jun frowned slightly, keenly sensing the crux of the matter. He knew that the Anti-Yan Alliance had always been eyeing Yan Country covetously and would occasionally make small moves. Old Wen's urgency this time must mean that something significant had happened.

“Yes, but it’s not very safe here. How about we go back to the base and discuss it in more detail?” Old Wen said cautiously, his eyes revealing his concern for the current situation. He felt it was inappropriate to discuss such confidential matters in a public setting like the steel company; if it were leaked, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Chen Jun hesitated for a moment, then nodded after a brief thought, saying, "You go ahead first. I still need to explain things here. I'll be right back." He understood that his work at the steel company needed to be properly arranged; he couldn't just leave suddenly like this, otherwise it would affect the subsequent research and development process.

Old Wen and You Lian exchanged a glance, their gazes falling on the steel prototype on the desk. Their mouths twitched involuntarily. Although filled with doubt, they dared not ask any further questions and turned to leave the office. On their way out, they secretly speculated that Chen Jun might be leading a research team on steel, after all, he still held the important position of head of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. They walked and whispered among themselves, filled with curiosity and bewilderment about Chen Jun's actions.

After the two left, Chen Jun called in General Manager Lin, who was waiting outside. He explained the upcoming workflow to General Manager Lin in detail, clarifying every step and detail to ensure that General Manager Lin fully understood the subsequent task arrangements. From the direction of research and development to specific operational points, from personnel allocation to time management, Chen Jun explained everything in detail. General Manager Lin listened attentively, occasionally taking notes in his notebook. He knew that what Chen Jun explained was crucial and dared not be careless in the slightest.

Afterwards, Chen Jun boarded a helicopter and flew directly towards the strategic base. The helicopter roared through the air, the scenery below rushing past. Sitting inside the helicopter, Chen Jun's thoughts began to turn to the new actions of the anti-Yan Kingdom alliance he was about to face. A hint of determination appeared in his eyes; no matter what difficulties he encountered, he was confident he could overcome them.

The helicopter landed smoothly at the strategic base. As soon as Chen Jun stepped off the plane, he saw Lao Wen and his companion already waiting there. Their eyes showed both anxiety and anticipation. Upon seeing Chen Jun arrive, they immediately went to greet him.

"Tell me, what have they done over there?" Chen Jun strode up to the two men and asked bluntly. His tone was concise and forceful, eager to know the latest developments of the Anti-Yan Kingdom Alliance.

"Boss, the latest situation is that the United States, in conjunction with all countries that possess chip technology, has launched a comprehensive technological blockade against our country. Participating countries include Japan and South Korea." Old Wen's expression was grave, his tone filled with worry. "The consequences of a technological blockade are extremely serious. After all, we are now in the information age, and chips play a crucial role in various fields. Once we lose the chip supply, many of our country's industries will stagnate, or even face the risk of bankruptcy."

"What I'm most worried about is that there might be some people in the country who are not firm in their stance, those traitors, who might waver under this pressure and even collude with the enemy. If that happens, the consequences would be unimaginable." Old Wen became more and more agitated as he spoke, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Even more serious is that the stagnation of many industries will lead to mass unemployment, including many skilled workers. Under immense pressure to survive, they are likely to be poached by other companies. This will undoubtedly be adding insult to injury for our country's technological development." Old Wen finished speaking in one breath, his face full of worry. You Lian, who was standing next to him, did not speak, but his brows were tightly furrowed, clearly also deeply concerned about the current situation.

Of course, Chen Jun was fully aware of the crises Lao Wen mentioned. He understood that this was precisely what the United States wanted to achieve. In recent years, Yan's development had been as rapid as a rocket, achieving remarkable success in many fields, and even beginning to surpass the United States in some aspects, reaching the forefront of the world. In order to maintain its hegemonic position, the United States was willing to resort to such despicable means, attempting to destroy Yan's high-end industrial chain through technological blockade, thereby inflicting a heavy blow on Yan's economic development. Chen Jun was well aware of the arduousness of this struggle, but he never had a thought of backing down.

"The main problem is that without chips, it will likely have a huge impact on the development of our military industry..." You Junda hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "Although I don't know much about the technology field, I do know that modern tanks, airplanes, and even warships all rely on chip support. I've learned through intelligence channels that the United States has provided many advanced weapons to countries participating in the blockade and has also found proxies. These short-sighted neighbors who only care about short-term interests are really a headache."

"What's even more infuriating is that the Anti-Yan Alliance deliberately spread rumors claiming that our Yan Kingdom will definitely collapse and its economy will crumble under their blockade. They just want to suppress us through public opinion and shake our confidence." You Junda finished speaking and sighed helplessly. His eyes revealed a hint of resentment and anger at the Anti-Yan Alliance's despicable actions.

Finally, both of them looked at Chen Jun expectantly, hoping he could come up with a solution. They knew Chen Jun's abilities well and believed he could definitely find a way to deal with this crisis.

However, to their surprise, Chen Jun actually smiled. Yes, he wore a calm smile, leisurely picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then gestured for the two to sit down and talk. His smile revealed a confidence and composure, as if everything was under his control.

"Boss, you... you still want to drink tea?" Old Wen stared wide-eyed at Chen Jun, utterly bewildered as to how he could remain so calm in such a critical moment. His eyes were filled with doubt and confusion, unable to comprehend Chen Jun's unwavering composure.

"Do you have a solution?" You Lian couldn't help but ask, a glimmer of hope in his eyes. A sense of anticipation ignited within him, hoping Chen Jun could bring good news.

Chen Jun smiled calmly, put down his teacup, and slowly said, "I've actually been planning this for a while now. You all saw just now why I urgently launched research at the steel company and even summoned all the professors from the Chinese Academy of Sciences." His tone was calm yet firm, and his eyes revealed a confident assurance.

"Boss, what do you mean? Is the research related to this?" Old Wen looked bewildered, still unable to grasp the connection. If Old Fan were here, with his quick wit, he might have understood Chen Jun's intentions much faster. In fact, Old Wen had a vague idea that Chen Jun was doing something important, after all, he had seen him working overtime at the steel factory before, but he really couldn't figure out what it was.

"That's right, I'm developing our own chips. The Americans think they can block our technology this way, they're just delusional. Soon, we'll have our own chips." Chen Jun's eyes were full of confidence and determination.

"Holy crap... Are you kidding me?" Old Wen and You Lian were completely stunned. Their eyes widened as they stared at Chen Jun in disbelief. If anyone else had said this, they would have turned and left without hesitation, taking it as a joke. But since it came from Chen Jun, although they were shocked, they dared not question it easily.

“Boss, I have absolutely no doubt about your abilities, but chip development is no simple matter… It involves too many professional fields and complex processes, reportedly at least tens of thousands of steps, and each step requires a huge amount of time and effort. If our country had the capability to develop it, we would have done it long ago. How could we suddenly succeed while the other side was imposing a blockade?” Old Wen couldn’t help but say, his tone tinged with doubt, but more so with concern for the difficulty of chip development.

"We Yan people have a wonderful characteristic: we're fine when we're not pressured, but once we're forced, there's nothing we can't make. Don't you believe me?" Chen Jun's eyes shone brightly, revealing unwavering confidence in the country and its people. "From bridges to weapons, take the recently developed super-powerful missile, wasn't it also developed under immense pressure? I'm asking you two, can you have a little more confidence in your country? If I say we can have our own chips in a short time, then I will definitely do it." His words were infectious, stirring a surge of passion in Lao Wen and You Lian.

Finally, Lao Fan and You Lian fell silent. They were deeply moved by Chen Jun's words. Although they still had doubts, they were also inspired by Chen Jun's unwavering belief. They believed in Chen Jun's abilities and the power of the nation. Perhaps, under Chen Jun's leadership, they could truly break through the technological blockade imposed by the United States.

After learning about the activities of the anti-Yanguo alliance, Chen Jun knew that time was of the essence and decisively decided to accelerate the chip research and development process. He knew that in this race against time, every second was crucial, and the slightest mistake could plunge the country into a deeper predicament.

He immediately set off for the headquarters of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to meet with the highly respected president. The research and development process for chips is far more complex than weapons manufacturing, requiring at least five thousand steps from the initial design concept to the intricate processing and final production. This massive and complex undertaking is precisely why Wen felt despair. Each step demands a high level of professional knowledge and exquisite skills; any small mistake could cause the entire research and development process to fail.

Chen Jun understood that developing chips ahead of schedule wouldn't be enough with just his seemingly superhuman chip technology. He needed professionals from various industries, and these professionals had to be the top elites in their respective fields. At the same time, he needed substantial financial support; the absence of any one of these elements could lead to indefinite delays in the research and development process, or even its eventual abandonment. After all, the cost of failure in chip development is enormous, a major factor that deters many large companies from undertaking chip development.

However, Chen Jun was mentally prepared for this. All the procedures involved in chip development were clearly imprinted in his mind. However, the difficulty of transforming this theoretical knowledge into reality, turning the blueprint in his mind into a tangible chip, was unimaginable. But Chen Jun never once considered backing down. He strode confidently towards the headquarters of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, his heart filled with determination and fighting spirit. He firmly believed that with the support of the nation and its people, they would surely succeed in developing a chip belonging to Yan Country and breaking the technological blockade of the anti-Yan Country alliance.
