Zhao Min blushed and said, "If we're going to kiss, we should do it privately. I don’t want you all watching!"

Zhang Zhipeng grinned and asked, "Why do it in private?"

"I just want to show off my affection!"

"Let’s see if you all get jealous."

As he spoke, he hooked his arm around Zhao Min's neck and gave her a light kiss on the lips.

Immediately, the people around them started cheering playfully.

Zhang Zhipeng laughed and said, "You all wanted to see me show some love, right? I’m generous, aren't I?"

Fang Qingping teased, "The kiss was too short, I didn’t even see it."

"We want to see some sparks fly!"

Zhao Min blushed and snapped, "Go find your own girlfriend if you want sparks! Hmph!"

Qian Yizhou checked the time and urged with a smile, "Hurry up!"

"We're on a tight schedule, the flight I booked is taking off in an hour."

Zhang Zhipeng quickly followed Qian Yizhou downstairs and got into the car.

He hadn’t been outside for days and noticed that the trees in the yard seemed to have a lot more yellow leaves now.

Once in the car, the driver immediately sped toward the airport.

Qian Yizhou sat next to him.

The car radio was broadcasting the news, covering the conclusion of the Asian Games.

This was the first Asian Games held on Chinese soil.

Chinese athletes had performed exceptionally well, winning 183 gold medals, far ahead of the rest of Asia.

This was Zhang Zhipeng’s first time flying, in either of his lives.

To his surprise, the car took a special route directly into the airport grounds.

When the car stopped, Qian Yizhou said, "All your boarding procedures have already been taken care of. Hurry up and get on the plane."

"The flight is taking off in just over ten minutes."

Zhang Zhipeng quickly boarded the plane, enjoying the special treatment.

On a normal day, he might not have even been allowed to board.

The plane took off on time. As Zhang Zhipeng sat in his seat, gazing at the white clouds outside the window, his mind was full of thoughts.

He knew that this CPU of his would definitely attract attention.

Hmm, what should he name it?

Up until now, the CPU he developed still didn’t have a name!

After much contemplation, Zhang Zhipeng decided to call it "Loongson."

How powerful it sounds!

And it carries a strong national identity.

Yes! This CPU will be called "Loongson 1."

Once this CPU gains recognition, production will surely begin.

Zhang Zhipeng wondered if he should take on this task himself.

Maybe he could start a company?

But he definitely wouldn’t have time to manage it himself.

He thought of Zhao Min.

Now that their relationship was established and they were committed to each other, perhaps she could manage the company.

She could handle the business side while he continued his scientific research for the country, a dual strategy of dedication.

He just wasn’t sure if this would be possible.

Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

Currently, China had fully opened up the development of private enterprises.

However, for sensitive products like this, the government still exercised special control.

Well, he’d discuss it and see.

If it was feasible, he’d go ahead and do it.

The reason he wanted to establish a private company was because he believed it might lead to a win-win situation.

He didn't want the product he had painstakingly developed to be hampered by various obstacles, preventing it from becoming bigger and stronger, ultimately wasting his time.

With these thoughts running through his mind, the plane soon landed at the airport in Beijing.

To Zhang Zhipeng's surprise, as soon as he got off the plane, someone approached him.

"Comrade Zhang Zhipeng?"

Zhang Zhipeng nodded, "Yes, that's me."

The man smiled and said, "I'm from the Science and Technology Commission. Director Zhao sent me to pick you up."

Ha! This kind of reception is reserved for someone of a certain status.

This shows that those above highly value his invention.

Zhang Zhipeng got into the car. The car sped out of the airport, heading towards the city.

When they arrived at their destination, and the car had just come to a stop, Zhang Zhipeng saw Dong Haoming approaching with a dignified man in military uniform.

He quickly got out of the car.

Dong Haoming had already reached him.

The dignified man was the first to shake Zhang Zhipeng's hand, laughing heartily, "Haha! Comrade Zhang Zhipeng, hello!"

Dong Haoming introduced, "Zhipeng, this is Director Zhao Bingkun from the Science and Technology Commission."

Zhang Zhipeng quickly greeted him, "Hello, Director Zhao!"

Zhao Bingkun looked Zhang Zhipeng up and down with a smile and said, "You're indeed a fine-looking young man! You're quite tall, about 1.8 meters?"

Zhang Zhipeng replied, "Thank you, Director Zhao! Not quite 1.8, just about 1.78 meters barefoot."

Zhao Bingkun nodded with a smile, "You look very spirited! You'd make a good soldier!"

Dong Haoming joked with a laugh, "Zhipeng is a pillar of our Northwestern Polytechnical University, Director Zhao, you can't poach him!"

Zhao Bingkun laughed heartily, "Haha! We're all working for the country, how can there be talk of poaching? Let's go inside and talk."

They then went to Zhao Bingkun's office.

As soon as they sat down, Zhao Bingkun got straight to the point, "Xiao Zhang, did you bring the stuff?"

Zhang Zhipeng nodded and took out the sealed CPU and the EDD-DRAM memory module he had just developed from a protective bag.

Zhao Bingkun wasted no time and immediately called in his technical subordinates.

"Test the performance of Xiao Zhang's CPU and see how it is."

The subordinates took the Loongson CPU that Zhang Zhipeng had developed and went to test it.

Testing would take some time, so Zhao Bingkun stayed to chat with Zhang Zhipeng and Dong Haoming.

As they talked, Zhao Bingkun noticed the memory module that Zhang Zhipeng had taken out.

He hadn't paid much attention to it earlier.

Zhao Bingkun asked, "What's this?"

Zhang Zhipeng smiled, "This is a memory chip, a new result we've just achieved. I simply packaged it."

Zhao Bingkun, who had some technical knowledge, widened his eyes upon hearing this, "You've developed a memory chip too?"

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and nodded, "Yes, and this time we've come up with an entirely new technological approach."

"This memory chip has a capacity of 16M per chip, which is eight times the capacity of the most advanced memory chips internationally!"

Zhao Bingkun was overjoyed, "This is important too!"

"Large control platforms need this badly! We used to produce them domestically, but the quality was poor and the technology was seriously outdated. Later, we started importing. The memory chips from XiFang are indeed advanced, but they're ridiculously expensive. Plus, we've been taken advantage of countless times."

Zhang Zhipeng smiled, "I thought Director Zhao would like this, so I brought it along!"

Dong Haoming, standing to the side, was both surprised and delighted.

He had only been in Beijing for a few days, and he hadn't realized that Zhang Zhipeng had made such significant progress.

Dong Haoming smiled and said, "With this, the main hardware bottlenecks of our computers have all been overcome!"

"We'll never have to depend on the whims of the Americans again."

Zhao Bingkun said, "I'll have this tested as well! If its performance is really good, my burden will be much lighter."

Zhao Bingkun immediately had someone take the memory module developed by Zhang Zhipeng for testing.

The testing was conducted very thoroughly.

Over an hour later, the technical expert responsible for testing from the Science and Technology Commission, Zhao Yougui, came rushing in excitedly.

"Director Zhao, it's fantastic!"

"The performance of this CPU has indeed reached the most advanced international level!"

"In fact, it's ahead of the international advanced level!"

"If this can be mass-produced, it will be a tremendous help to us!"

Zhao Bingkun was overjoyed, "Let me see the detailed data."

Zhao Yougui handed over the test results.

Dong Haoming also leaned in to take a look.

He found that the test results from the Science and Technology Commission matched almost exactly with the data from Zhang Zhipeng's own tests.

The performance was indeed exceptional!

Zhao Bingkun was overwhelmed with excitement.

He turned and tightly grasped Zhang Zhipeng's hand, saying, "Xiao Zhang, you've done a great service for our country! Hahaha!"

"Our military products will now make rapid progress."

"Our aerospace industry will also reach new heights."
