Did You Destroy the World Today?
Chapter 53: We've Made It

In this country, you can never question the organizational efficiency of official institutions during "critical moments."

Lin Xu had originally thought that even with Xu Jin's connections, obtaining all the equipment and completing its installation would take at least one to two weeks. After all, dismantling and transporting the equipment would require considerable time, not to mention the complex communication procedures involved.

But in reality, it only took them two days.

Or to be more precise, just a day and a half.

When Lin Xu arrived at Donghua Chemical Fiber Factory, a large number of workers were already unloading the goods, while another group of specialized workers who had accompanied the equipment from the original manufacturer were communicating with the factory staff to prepare for installation.

Xu Jin was waiting nearby, sweating profusely. Lin Xu first greeted him, then exchanged pleasantries with the person in charge of on-site coordination. He didn't know this supervisor's background, and the supervisor knew even less about his.

Seeing how young Lin Xu was, the supervisor immediately made some unusual assumptions. Thus, his attitude toward Lin Xu became exceptionally warm.

The two representatives with the highest authority from each side exchanged polite compliments, which to Ren Jian who had just rushed over, looked like perfectly normal collegial interaction.

"Thank you! Thank you!"

"For lunch today, I'll arrange..."

"No need for meals," the supervisor waved his hand.

"My schedule is tight—this is only the first day."

"There are instructions from above—the equipment must be installed within three days."

"So let's skip all formalities. Please provide on-site support to ensure we meet the deadline."

Above? Instructions?

At this moment, Ren Jian was almost certain about Lin Xu's identity.

He nodded repeatedly and replied:

"Understood, understood."

"I'll expedite the payment process and immediately dispatch workers to assist with installation."

"Also, Comrade Lin... I mean, Director Lin, is there anything else you need me to arrange?"

Before Lin Xu could answer, the supervisor's expression changed at these words.

Comrade Lin... Comrade Lin Xu?

Unaware that Ren Jian had nearly called him "Student Lin Xu," the supervisor automatically assumed a more "formal" form of address. This further convinced him of Lin Xu's special status, making his expression even friendlier.

"No special arrangements needed," Lin Xu waved his hand.

"Just find me an office. I need to discuss technical details with our expert."

"No problem, follow me."

Ren Jian immediately nodded. Lin Xu called over Xu Jin who had been waiting aside, and they followed Ren Jian into the office.

No one disturbed them. Lin Xu took out pre-printed documents from his backpack and handed them directly to Xu Jin.

"Take a look at this," Lin Xu said.

"The documentation is quite complete. Does it need further refinement?"

"If not, can we start production immediately?"

"Any operational difficulties? Do you need additional assistance?"

"Let me see... see! Let me see first!"

Xu Jin excitedly took the documents, flipping through pages while stiffly flicking his fingers. His movements were rapid and rough, resembling the hand seals Lin Xu had seen in those rustic online videos.

The only difference was that Lin Xu could clearly see Xu Jin's mind working furiously.

Page one.

Page two.

Page three.

Xu Jin flipped quickly.

While scanning the documents, he mumbled incoherently:

"Right!"

"Exactly right!"

"This is it, this is exactly it..."

"Temperature control... must control extrusion temperature..."

"Correct, pressure... why so low? Only 100 kPa..."

"Rate... rate must be low! I was wrong before!"

"Natural materials? Unimportant, no need for testing..."

"No problem! No problem!"

Xu Jin suddenly stood up.

"This is it! This is it!"

He shouted at Lin Xu, his face contorted—with ecstatic excitement.

"Can we try now? Can I try now?"

"Let's go immediately, let's..."

"The equipment isn't installed yet!"

Seeing Xu Jin nearly losing control, Lin Xu quickly flipped to the last page.

"This document is incomplete."

"Several numerical values are missing here! You need to fill them in first!"

"I can't obtain these results experimentally. Can you theoretically deduce them?"

Instantly, Xu Jin calmed down.

"This is simple..."

"Graphite furnace... graphite furnace is for high-temperature carbonization."

"For high-temperature carbonization, temperature must reach at least 2500°C."

"Only above 2500°C can material crystallinity break through the 1800°C limit, compensating for crystallization rate differences caused by DMAC solvent in wet spinning..."

"2500 degrees, definitely 2500 degrees."

"Surface treatment... electrochemical oxidation tank for surface treatment..."

Xu Jin muttered to himself.

Lin Xu watched quietly.

Thirty minutes later, Xu Jin suddenly looked up.

Then he spoke:

"Boss."

"We've made it!"

......

One hour later, at Zhong Mountain Sanatorium.

Xu Qianlin sat on his hospital bed, next to a carefully prepared but now cold nutritional meal arranged by his healthcare provider. In his hands was the latest analysis report—a feasibility study on industrial production processes for M46X and PEEK-RTM materials.

Xu Qianlin's expression was grave, as was that of the gray-haired expert sitting solemnly beside him. Seeing Xu Qianlin set down the report, the expert finally spoke:

"Director Xu, you've seen the situation now."

"The two production processes we previously obtained from those materials are far from being merely 'experimental processes.'"

"Data simulations show both processes have remarkably high feasibility."

"One might even say these are two fully testable processes ready for immediate production."

"Their only flaw is incompleteness."

"But even 'incompleteness' isn't the real issue."

"The proposer of these processes must possess complete documentation."

"They've progressed incredibly far—unbelievably far!"

"Not only can we not catch up, no research institution worldwide could match their progress!"

"Successful implementation would revolutionize the entire industry."

"And we..."

"Enough."

Xu Qianlin raised his hand to stop the expert.

"My son couldn't possibly have developed these processes."

"He's made some progress, but nothing approaching this level."

"The source must lie with Tianqiong Technology."

"No—more precisely, with that young man named Lin Xu."

"Do me a favor—make contact with him."

"If possible, arrange a meeting."

"This matter isn't simple... At the very least, I need to find out who's really behind him!"
