A nation's industrial development begins with junior engineers.

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

When Secretary Liu appeared at the door of Jiang Xia's office, she smelled a strange odor coming from the little brat's office.

Fishy smell?

Where would you find fresh fish in the dead of winter?

Secretary Liu gave the boy with a rather unseemly look: "Brother, it's time to find a wife. I have a colleague..."

"Cough cough cough~~~" Damn, the lighting factory's workmanship is still problematic. The smell of this xenon lamp after being subjected to high-voltage discharge is really unpleasant. At first, it had a faint grassy smell, but after continuous use, it turned into a fishy smell.

The young man was busy opening the window to air out the smell and didn't hear Secretary Liu's words clearly: "Huh? What are you doing?"

"Nothing much~ This thing of yours can emit red light? Is it what you call stimulated emission?"

"Yeah, didn't you say you were going to make honey pots? They look pretty, don't they? But don't look directly at them, just glance at them from the corner of your eye..."

Secretary Liu twitched his lips and grabbed Jiang Xia's hand: "Brother, is this thing really that useful? I feel like you're doing it a disservice by using it as a honey pot?"

The young man, busy cooling down the spark trigger, replied without looking up, "The theory behind this was proposed back in 1917; it's nothing new. Besides, it's probably one of the more basic applications of high-energy physics..."

"This is just theory in practice..."

"I guess the laser emitters on the other side of the Bald Eagles have been developed by now, right? But I'm not sure about that. I can let our comrades outside know..."

"Although it has a wide range of applications due to its inherent characteristics, such as guidance, ranging, and machining (laser welding machines are quite popular), and communications... well, as a transmitter alone, there's not much to regret..."

Bah! You son of a bitch, selling his grandfather's land, you've even managed to use it across industries, and you still say it's useless?

Secretary Liu isn't an idiot; he actually went to a university in the alliance for serious studies. He knows that the application prospects this kid is talking about are already incredibly broad, okay?

Having worked alongside Ying's mother, he knew one thing: creating something from nothing is the hardest thing. As for what the little brat said about the bald eagle already having it, Secretary Liu didn't care at all.

So what if the other side has it? It's not like the bald eagle will suddenly show mercy and let you use it.

Moreover, listen to what this brat is saying. The theory was proposed in 1917, and it's only now that it's being implemented. Doesn't that just demonstrate the importance of this thing?

Unlike the nonchalant attitude of the clueless kid in front of him, Secretary Liu let out a loud yell.

"Seal off the area! I need to report! Level 1 alert, quick, quick, quick!"

The badge-wearing soldiers following behind Secretary Liu immediately sprang into action, the two of them blocking the stairwell completely in one stride. The remaining soldier ran to the window in the corridor and started whistling down.

"Bang!" The office door was slammed shut.

Secretary Liu pulled a pistol out of his trouser leg and cocked it with a click.

"Brother, hurry up and organize the blueprints. Don't worry about the honeypots for now, let the boss decide on this!" With that, he picked up Jiang Xia's red phone and mumbled unintelligible code words into the operator's mouth.

"Tsk, the blueprints and stuff don't seem to be done properly. They're just using old sketches to make do. The only thing that's hard to find is the raw materials. Once you have a direction, even a middle school student could make it."

This isn't just some kid making things up. Back in the 80s, there was a magazine called *Children's Science Pictorial* that published a tutorial on how to make a simple laser. Incidentally, it even once described the steps involved in building a nuclear bomb…

The kid was staring intently at Xiao Liu's trouser leg: how did Xiao Liu manage to hide a gun in his trouser leg? He'd have to ask him later. Hiding a grenade in one's crotch is a skill in itself…

Don't blame Jiang Xia for not paying much attention to this.

Based on the development experience of later generations, China has always been far ahead in the field of lasers.

Not to mention history, the first ruby ​​laser will be born in a laboratory this November. Moreover, in the following two years, high-energy neodymium glass laser systems and gallium arsenide lasers will emerge.

The following year, before the resumption of the college entrance examination, the car factory of the big brother in Northeast China used carbon dioxide laser cutters to cut the body panels of the "Hongqi" sedan. Later, it even expanded to using lasers to perform laser heat treatment on metal materials.

Later on, China's laser industry even occupied more than two-thirds of the global market share.

Tell me, isn't that amazing?

So this industry doesn't need young punks to drive it; they can just create a toy to catch bedbugs and that's it.

"Tsk, why are you so nervous? What kind of lockdown are you talking about? I haven't had breakfast yet! I've been busy all night, I'm starving!"

Jiang Xia leaned out the window and looked down.

Good grief, the guards really didn't hold back; they immediately closed the door to the small building. Some colleagues who had arrived earlier were also asked to leave the building by the soldiers.

That's nothing, but when did you guys start carrying anti-aircraft guns onto the roof of the building across the street...?

That must be Liu Hongjun, right? How come you managed to load the shell into the anti-aircraft gun with a smile on your face?

Looking down at the small square, the workers were crammed together like sardines in a can.

Especially since Tie Jun was also sandwiched in there, um, like a super-sized sardine. The kind that, when placed in a can, one fish can take up all the space.

"Bro! Did you create that beam of light? Let's do it again!"

"One more time!"

"One more time!"

Hearing Tie Jun's shouts, the workers below also raised their hands and shouted loudly.

Okay, consider this a little early fireworks display for everyone.

"Watch out, everyone! Use your peripheral vision to look at it, don't stare at it for too long! This thing is like welding, it hurts your eyes!"

Snap! Another red line flashed by...

"Oh!"

At this moment, Jiang Xia felt as if he had entered a breeding workshop, with a bunch of large white geese on the ground honking at him.

"No, what are you 'ohing' about? It's just a red light, isn't it? A flashlight covered with red paper, what's the difference?"

Some were surprised, some were confused, and some didn't understand. And sure enough, dissenting opinions emerged.

"Yeah, it's just a thin red light, what's there to get excited about? Let it go, let it go~~"

"What do you guys know! My brother's stuff is awesome!"

As Tie Jun spoke, he took the flashlight from Ma Weihong and casually lifted his leg to pull down his red woolen socks.

"Look at that! How can they be the same? My brother's is a straight line! Perfectly straight!"

The flashlight was already on, but its dim red light couldn't travel far before being swallowed up by the darkness before dawn.

The guard standing nearby gritted his teeth, watching the smug Iron Army. "You think you're so capable? Do you think I need your explanation? Do you think I don't know that Jiang Gong makes good stuff? What I want is secrecy!"

"Okay!"

With his own brothers all pulling out all the stops, Jiang Xia naturally couldn't let others down.

Turn on the switch.

Snap, snap...

As the spark trigger connected to the transformer continuously charges and discharges, the thin red line is cast into the distance.

The plainclothes security guards, blending into the crowd, exchanged glances, deciding it was beyond their control...

This old man has someone higher up to take care of things; let's just enjoy the show...

"咻咻咻~~~"

Seeing that it was fun, Jiang Xia imitated the sound effects of laser guns in movies and even added sound effects to them.

After being shocked, Secretary Liu tugged at Jiang Xia's sleeve.

"What?"

"Nothing's wrong, it's just smoking, is that normal?"

"Oh dear! What kind of normal machine would emit smoke? Turn it off right away!"
