It’s around 8 p.m. at Hongqiao Airport in the magical capital.

Li Ru and Chu Yunhai first received Chu Xiangqi and Chu Mo who came all the way from Zhongnan.

"Dad, Xiao Mo." Chu Yunhai happily greeted his father and son.

He works in Shanghai, but he rarely interacts with the outside world.

Even though Chu Mo came to the Magic City during the summer vacation, he was not able to meet his son.

"Dad, Grandpa Li." Chu Mo happily greeted his father and Li Ru.

But when he saw the scars on his father's face, there was another ripple in his heart.

"Old Li."

"Old Chu."

Li Ru and Chu Xiangqi reunited after a long absence, hugging each other and smiling.

"Yun Hai, you take Xiao Mo for a walk, and I'll talk to Lao Li for a while."

Chu Xiangqi asked Chu Yunhai to take Chu Mo away, while he chatted with Li Ru.

"Old Li, is that really the one who is coming?"

Chu Xiangqi looked excited.

Li Ru smiled and replied: "According to the above, it should be."

"Old Chu, didn't you study with him for a while before?"

Chu Xiangqi nodded and replied: "When Mr. Huang was elected as an academician of the Academy of Sciences in 1991, I happened to study with him."

"Now I am 70 years old, and Mr. Huang is already 92 years old."

"I never thought that this matter would alarm Mr. Huang."

Li Ru nodded seriously.

"When Mr. Huang was elected as an academician of the Academy of Sciences, he advocated that research on photolithography technology must not be stopped."

"But it's a pity."

"With the opening of the country, more advanced and mature products from abroad were introduced, coupled with the limited domestic economic conditions at that time."

"The vast majority of scientific research projects on lithography machines have gradually stopped."

"Not only lithography machines, but also the development of domestic integrated circuits was directly opened up by the West at that time."

"By the time various special projects were restarted in 2008, we were already too far behind!"

Chu Xiangqi shook his head and sighed.

"There is no way, this is a Western conspiracy."

"Who made us fall too far behind?"

"If you fall behind, you will be beaten. This is an eternal truth."

"I remember Mr. Huang said that they had already started the research and production of domestic photolithography machines as early as 1966."

"In 1974, the Imperial Capital held a national conference on large-scale integrated circuits and basic materials."

"In fact, before the 1990s, the gap with foreign countries was very limited in terms of the key technologies of large-scale integrated circuit technology, equipment manufacturing and basic materials."

"If research on lithography technology had not stopped in the early 1990s, how would we be so far behind as we are now?"

While the two were sighing, a plane from the imperial capital landed slowly.

An old man with thinning hair and a haggard face, accompanied by his entourage, got off the plane and came to Chu Xiangqi and Li Ru.

"Huang Lao."

"Huang Lao."

Chu Xiangqi and Li Ru were as excited as children.

The old man in front of them, named Huang Qiming, is the director of the Semiconductor Research Institute of the Long Academy of Science and Technology.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, he has been engaged in research on semiconductor optoelectronics.

In related fields, he can be regarded as a leading figure in the country.

His disciples are all over the world, working in various semiconductor-related industries and making huge contributions to Longguo's technology industry.

"Xiao Chu, I haven't seen you for many years."

Academician Huang smiled slightly and said, "Xiao Li just met him in the imperial capital not long ago."

Being called Xiao Chu by Academician Huang, the seventy-year-old Chu Xiangqi was flattered.

"Old Huang, do you still remember me?"

Academician Huang smiled slightly and said, "Your lineage is very special."

"It seems that he was born to be the best in the manufacturing industry."

"Your scientific research ability is very strong. If it weren't for your health, I would not let you retire."

"After all, I haven't retired yet."

Hearing Mr. Huang's joke, several people around him laughed.

People of Huang Lao's era had unparalleled lofty ideals.

Even to the last moment of their lives, many people are still worried about the rise of the Dragon Kingdom.

These great scientists are truly practicing the eight words "dedicate themselves to the cause of death".

Not for fame, not for profit, just for the Chinese nation to stand on top of the world again.

"Let's go and meet this little friend who has made great contributions to the country."

Mr. Huang's arrival was without any grand pomp.

Apart from Li Ru and Chu Xiangqi, there was no pick-up team.

Being low-key and pragmatic is a fine tradition engraved in the bones of the older generation.

…

After leaving the airport, Chu Mo followed his mother who came to pick him up and left.

Huang Lao and his party took advantage of the darkness and rushed to the Waigaoqiao Pier in Shanghai.

"This little friend Xu Jie is not simple."

In the car, Mr. Huang said with a smile:

"Even I don't have permission to access all his files."

Hearing Mr. Huang's words, Chu Xiangqi, Li Ru, and Chu Yunhai in the car were all shocked.

"What?"

"Mr. Huang, you don't even have the authority to access all his files?"

Li Ru couldn't help but exclaimed.

Chu Xiangqi also had a shocked look on his face.

Chu Yunhai, who had just learned that Xu Jie was his son's class teacher, was so shocked that his jaw dropped.

Be obedient.

A middle school teacher in Zhongnan City actually has such a terrifying background?

It shouldn’t be!

"There's certainly nothing wrong with his regular profile."

Huang Lao said softly:

"But when the National Security Bureau learned of our intention to mobilize, they immediately greeted us."

"This little friend Xu Jie seems to have connections with Internet Security."

"No wonder a friend can ship back a photolithography machine that we urgently need from overseas."

National security? Cybersecurity?

After hearing what Mr. Huang said, Chu Xiangqi and the others made guesses in their hearts.

Chu Xiangqi also didn't expect that Teacher Xu, whom he was very optimistic about and trusted, had another surprising background.

…

At nearly 10 p.m., the container terminal in Waigaoqiao was still brightly lit.

Standing in front of the huge container, the tall and powerful Xu Jie looked very small.

Xu Jie has already seen the big guy in the container.

Its structure is so sophisticated that even a layman like Xu Jie was secretly speechless when he saw it.
