Chapter 1550 Listen to Your Command

half a month later.

Torch Lab.

As Chang Haonan's fingertips slid across the mouse wheel almost unconsciously, the single-atom array synthesis plan sent by Wang Lingxiao on the screen also jumped back and forth between the two pages -

He had read this plan over and over again for several days and had already memorized its contents.

The current action is not so much about browsing the document as it is about a habit in the thinking process.

Of course, in the absence of characterization methods, even Chang Haonan has no way to ensure that the simulation results are accurate. At most, he can only make some modifications at the level of calculation principles.

What really matters is the part about the synthesis principle and the properties of the finished material.

This synthetic route for thin film shrinkage-induced self-assembly has great potential and can be applied to a wider range of fields with limited modifications.

Finally, his eyes refocused and stopped at the column of base materials.

"Metal oxide carrier..." Chang Haonan muttered to himself, "This limitation can be completely lifted... In theory, carbon-based and even nitrogen-based carriers can complete wave contraction on the surface of metal salt crystals, but the melting point issue needs to be considered..."

For chemical synthesis methods, physical problems can often be overcome.

Gradually, a bold idea took shape in Chang Haonan's mind.

But at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the office door.

"Please come in." Chang Haonan looked up.

Two men in dark suits and red ties, with a national emblem pinned to their collars, pushed the door open.

"Prosecutor Zhou, right?"

Chang Haonan shifted his attention away from the screen and remembered an appointment he had made this morning.

The leader was a man in his early 40s with a square face. He showed his ID in a neat and tidy manner: "Hello, Academician Chang. Sorry to bother you. I'm Zhou Zheng, and this is my colleague, Li Wei."

His voice was not loud, but it carried a heavy weight.

The other one, who was slightly younger and named Levi, also nodded slightly.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the two sat down on the sofa.

"Academician Chang, we have recently discovered a profit chain that has long been entrenched in the field of intellectual property rights, colluding with both domestic and foreign parties, and seriously disrupting the market order through means such as abusing litigation rights and malicious litigation." Zhou Zheng went straight to the point and started with some explosive news.

In fact, when the other party called in the morning to make an appointment for a meeting, Chang Haomian guessed that it might be related to this matter.

But it was somewhat unexpected that the other party did not say "investigation has been launched" but "already investigated and dealt with".

"So fast?" Chang Haonan looked surprised.

"Originally, we just started a special review and carried out the work step by step." Li Wei explained, his voice deeper than Zhou Zheng's. "However, at the critical juncture of the in-depth investigation, a key figure, Lin Xuefeng, suddenly surrendered himself."

Zhou Zhengze then added: "He confessed a lot of core information and provided a complete chain of evidence on the flow of funds and internal operations, pointing very clearly... The core of this line is Liming Technology and its actual controller Xiao Liming. Lin Xuefeng's surrender saved us a lot of time in investigation and directly locked on the target."

Chang Haonan had never expected such a plot development.

He was just planning to find out the other party's background.

The result was that he was touched to death...

"Oh?" Chang Haonan raised his eyebrows and said half-jokingly, "It seems that the deterrent power of the inspection agency is indeed deeply rooted in people's hearts, and people dare not take chances..."

Unexpectedly, Zhou Zheng did not accept the compliment. Instead, he shook his head very seriously. "In fact, according to Lin Xuefeng's confession, he finally gave up his luck and chose to surrender to us because he realized that this matter was related to you." He paused, his tone was strangely solemn, "In his original words, 'This is basically pouring water on an active volcano, thinking that he is not dying fast enough'... So, this deterrent power mainly depends on you."

"..."

Too outrageous.

For a moment, Chang Haonan didn't even know how to respond.

"Ahem... that's too serious." He subconsciously picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip to hide the sudden embarrassment, and then immediately changed the subject, "So what are your plans next?"

"This is one of the main purposes of our trip, Academician Chang." Li Wei and Zhou Zheng looked at each other and explained, "Although Lin Xuefeng's surrender has opened a big gap, such cases are often complicated and it is unlikely that there is only this one line. Moreover, he chose to surrender at this time, and it is not ruled out that he wanted to sacrifice a pawn to save the king."

He analyzed clearly: "According to our established investigation strategy, we should continue to keep a low profile at this stage. We should secretly fix all the evidence chains and find out the entire network of relationships to ensure that we can eventually eradicate the case completely without leaving any hidden dangers. This process may be quite long."

Chang Haonan listened and felt that this investigative idea was very professional and reasonable, but it seemed to have little to do with him.

"Yes, that's a very sound strategy." He nodded to show his understanding. "If you need our support in any area, please feel free to ask."

In Chang Haonan's opinion, since the other party sent someone to his door specially, he must have something to ask for.

however……

Zhou Zheng leaned forward slightly and replied, "The superiors considered that the cause of this case was directly related to the malicious patent hunting that Candlelight Technology is currently experiencing, which seriously interfered with the normal scientific research and business activities of your organization and may even affect the progress of major national scientific research projects... Therefore, they specifically instructed us to give priority to your opinions."

Chang Haonan was stunned for a moment: "My opinion?"

Li Wei further clarified: "If you think it is necessary to take immediate action, then we can immediately take compulsory measures against Xiao Liming and Liming Technology to form the most direct deterrent effect and eliminate the external interference currently faced by Candlelight Technology as quickly as possible."

"..."

For a moment, Chang Haonan even thought he had heard it wrong.

He sat up straight subconsciously, his eyes scanning Zhou Zheng and Li Wei's faces, his tone was somewhat inquiring:

"You two mean... that I should decide the timing of the action?"

"It's not just about time," Li Wei emphasized, "it also includes specific methods, the scope of the attack, and preliminary handling opinions..."

Then, Zhou Zheng added:

"Of course, the premise is that it is within the scope permitted by law and discipline."

……

After calming down a little, a thought immediately rushed into Chang Haonan's mind.

Cut the mess with a sharp knife!

Taking down Xiao Liming immediately would not only instantly disintegrate this disgusting patent litigation offensive, clear the obstacles for Candlelight Technology, but also liberate Sun Fei's team.

In order to avoid patent disputes, they are now racking their brains to perform a "suture operation" on two expensive imported electron microscopes and APT equipment, which involves great risks and waste of resources.

Once the threat is lifted, the original plan can be carried out openly.

"In that case, then..."

Chang Haonan's words were on the tip of his tongue, but his eyes subconsciously swept across the computer screen -

Wang Lingxiao's synthesis plan for single-atom array catalysts is still displayed on it.

In an instant, a bolder and more subversive idea flashed through my mind.

"I think..." He suddenly changed his words, "For now, you should continue to follow your established strategy. Don't touch Xiao Liming, the fish in plain sight, for the time being. Keep digging deeper."

Zhou Zheng and Li Wei both looked surprised.

They expected Chang Haonan to demand immediate action, but they didn't expect the other party to also choose to "play the long game."

"I still need them to cooperate with me for a while." Chang Haonan explained, "When it's time to take action, I will notify you two immediately!"

After seeing off the two prosecutors who were leaving with their mission, Chang Haonan immediately sat back at his desk and picked up the internal phone.

"Assistant Liu, notify everyone immediately to suspend all contacts and negotiations with overseas suppliers such as FEI, JEOL, and Hitachi. The unified statement to the outside world is: Candlelight Technology is currently embroiled in patent legal disputes. For the sake of prudence, we have decided to first resolve internal legal risks and eliminate all potential risks before restarting external cooperation negotiations."

The sudden change made Liu Chenchen on the other end of the phone a little worried: "Boss Chang, will such a sudden pause be interpreted by the outside world as a sign of weakness... or guilty conscience?"

"Let them guess!" Chang Haonan interrupted her nonchalantly, "We are not a listed company, so we are not responsible for the stock price. External public opinion will not have much impact on us. As for the follow-up..." He glanced at the screen in front of him again, "I will make additional arrangements."

After hanging up the phone with Liu Chenchen, Chang Haonan dialed the hotline of Academician Zhang Tao's office at the Lianhai Institute of Chemical Physics without any hesitation.

"Academician Zhang, it's me, Chang Haonan. My team and I did some preliminary calculations and deductions overnight on the single-atom array synthesis plan you sent me."

He spoke very quickly, with the excitement of discovering a new world:

"I have some additional ideas that may be of great help in improving the synthesis efficiency and controllability of the product structure...but the content is quite long and detailed. It would be best to arrange a video conference as soon as possible and invite Dr. Ling Xiao and the core members in charge of the specific experiments on your side so that we can discuss it in depth..."
