A nation's industrial development begins with junior engineers.

While the senior researcher from Yunnan and Guizhou went to the outer section to install a modem, the other researchers were engrossed in studying the modem blueprints given to them by Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia and the head of the external coking department went to a small pavilion in the factory area to play Go.

"You mean, you want to show this to the French as well?" The Minister of the Outer Corner raised an eyebrow slightly as he picked up a chess piece.

"Well, since it's the first generation anyway, let's just try to fool them if we can."

Jiang Xia responded nonchalantly, casually fiddling with the chess pieces in his hand. Hey, you know what? These little chess pieces have a warm, lustrous color and a delicate texture. Under the sunlight, they even faintly radiate a soft sheen, like gemstones. A gentle touch doesn't give them a cold, hard feel; instead, they possess an indescribable warmth. The phrase "warm and fragrant jade" would be quite fitting.

When held up to the light, the white chess piece in Jiang Xia's hand appears with a hazy, crescent-white hue.

Hey! That's rare!

The Minister of the External Affairs Department had a faint smile on his lips as he quietly watched Jiang Xia fiddling with the chess pieces with great interest. He slowly said, "Why do you do this? Although I didn't quite understand the theory you gave me before, I know that this thing should be in a leading position, right?"

As he spoke, he slightly moved his arm, and a chess piece fell onto the chessboard.

Seeing that the leader had already made a move, Jiang Xia immediately placed a white piece right next to the black piece.

"The concept is advanced, but the actual results are just so-so. There's room for further development. The most important thing is that you can use this to talk to them..."

"You don't even know this? You guys aren't that advanced!"

Jiang Xia recalled dial-up internet access in later generations, where the theoretical bandwidth was 64kbps, but in actual use, reaching 50kbps was considered the absolute maximum.

Damn, this transmission speed can't even compare to a PHS phone, so Jiang Xia didn't even bother with it.

With a complete system in place, are you worried those geniuses won't be able to set up ADSL? That's simply not the case...

Therefore, what's more, underlying protocols can only truly develop when they are widely adopted and used on a certain scale. How can we possibly keep playing our own system within China? Only when the whole world is using it can we have a voice!

But systems like these require a lot of money!

What if you don't have money? Of course, you borrow money to make money.

The lessons learned from the small notebook hydrogen fuel cell vehicle are still fresh in everyone's mind. Jiang Xia doesn't want to be the world's number one, but he doesn't actually benefit from it at all.

With a snap, two cups of tea were brought to the two men by Minister Wang of the Fourth Ministry of Machinery Industry.

"Xiao Jiang, I know you have a lot on your mind, but you might be underestimating the sensitivity of this matter! I think your transmission protocol is just as advanced as Da Huang's!"

Minister Wang of the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building, as a veteran who had worked his way up from the Red Team, especially since he had always been involved in radio communications, was extremely sensitive to information transmission.

"Old leader, do you still remember when we used to send telegrams?"

"Just setting up the antenna takes a lot of work, and after the message is sent, a dedicated telegraph operator is needed to translate and transcribe it. The amount of information conveyed is also limited..."

"But with Xiao Jiang's system, you don't even need to send someone on horseback to deliver a confidential document..."

"Especially..." Minister Wang paused, giving Jiang Xia a deep look. After receiving a nod of agreement from the old man, he continued, "Especially the group of people at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains. Their data volume is enormous. As far as I know, that Professor Guo has been constantly traveling back and forth with a huge amount of data lately; he's practically living on the plane. It's not that I don't trust our pilots, but what if something happens..."

"If Xiao Jiang's system can be used, it will not only keep secrets, but also ensure safety!"

"This security isn't just about the data itself, but also about the personnel involved! It's such a long journey, boss!"

As he spoke, Minister Wang leaned closer: "Don't forget, even this little brat we've been hiding was poisoned yesterday..."

With a "smack," another black piece was slammed down, the old man's grip noticeably stronger, revealing his inner turmoil: "What you said is very instructive, and I will report it to the relevant authorities."

As he spoke, the old man glanced at Jiang Xia and noticed that the boy had already started secretly grinding the chess pieces against the cement table.

The old man's eyelids twitched: "Peace and safety are the greatest blessings. The house needs a cleaning. Is it difficult to promote this on a large scale?"

"Haha, boss, you're joking. Engineer Jiang has already broken through the barrier of going from 0 to 1. If we can't turn 1 into 100, then it would be our dereliction of duty!"

The old man didn't respond to him, but just looked at the move Jiang Xia had just made and wondered to himself, what kind of weird move is this? He doesn't even care about "vital energy"?

"Moreover, strictly speaking, Xiao Jiang's approach should be distinguished from computer technology. I think it should be developed independently, alongside computers!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xia's heart skipped a beat: Wow, this minister really is talented!

In fact, what he created should indeed be classified under the category of information technology. It has a mutually reinforcing and complementary relationship with computer technology; they are intertwined.

"This kid wants to demonstrate his technology and then sell it. Do you think that's a good idea?"

After a few more moves, the old man asked again.

“I think it’s fine. Keep the file transfer function, and use the protocol for transferring ‘messages’ to attract attention. That should work!” Minister Wang of the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Xia. “You agree, right, Xiao Jiang?”

“Yes!” Jiang Xia, who had been busy for a while, finally raised his head: “You’re right. The French are actually quite conflicted. Right now, they’re probably focused on breaking free from the bald eagle’s control and trying to rival them. They’re busy building a new ‘Maginot Line’ and don’t seem to care much about electronics. This is exactly our opportunity…”

Oh?

Hearing Jiang Xia's analysis, the two old men exchanged a glance, a hint of surprise flashing in their eyes: "How did you come up with that analysis?" "Why would I need to analyze it? It's all written in the internal reference..." Jiang Xia took the chess piece and slammed it hard against the cement table a few more times.

It wasn't that he disliked the chess piece; it was just that the piece's hardness exceeded his expectations.

In just a short while, he had worn a small chip into the cement table.

Based on Jiangxia's experience, its Mohs hardness is at least 7.

Damn! Using something with a Mohs hardness of 7 as a chess piece is such a waste! With some modifications, it could be used to cut glass tubes.

A certain research institute was still racking its brains over the surface machining of laser gyroscopes. If we could use this thing, could we directly cut it on a machining center?

The two elderly people then realized that this young man was already qualified to read internal reference materials, so it was not surprising that he said the above.

"You brat, I finally found 'Yongzi,' what are you doing?"

The head of the outer section finally couldn't stand it anymore. This brat! If it were someone else was wasting his beloved possession, he would have already taken out his little BIUBIU and given them a piece of his mind.

What is Yongzi?

The old man's lips twitched as he talked about the child's aversion to school, while also explaining the story of "Yongzi" to Jiang Xia.

Unfortunately, Jiang Xia paid no attention to the "national treasure" or the fact that it originated in the Ming Dynasty. His eyes lit up when he heard that it was made by melting agate and amber at high temperatures.

"Boss, could you find someone who makes these things to customize a few sets of machine cutters for me? They should be great for cutting glass!"

"What the hell! Production stopped a long time ago because of the war! That's why it's so precious!"

Oh, I see. Seeing that there was no hope of getting a custom piece, Jiang Xia casually placed a chess piece.

"Five in a row! Boss, you've lost! How about we take a nice picture together? Okay, just give me a few pieces..."

"Five in a row? What kind of game is this?"

"It's Gomoku! Look, one, two, five, five in a row!"

"Get the hell out of here!"
