Great Power Technology.

Chapter 182 Officially Announced
The test Ye Zhou requested was completed quickly under urgent circumstances, and the result was exactly as he expected.

It is true that this batch of titanium alloys in storage can fully meet the previously preset use standards, but the problem is that through the α-β high and low magnification inspection, they found that this batch of titanium alloys did not keep up with the previous batch. There are slight differences in ingredients.

Ye Zhou immediately contacted Chen Hao, and his intuition told him that although the difference was small, there was definitely something bigger behind it.

Baotai Group is a mature titanium alloy manufacturer. Their manufacturing process and formula will not be modified at will. How can there be a situation where the difference between the previous batch and the subsequent batch has not been discovered.

Either they want to fill in one by one, or there are ghosts inside.

The possibility of the former situation is too low. On the one hand, high-end titanium alloys have strict testing procedures before leaving the factory, and it is impossible for them to pass the testing if there is a problem.

On the other hand, Baoti's leadership is very clear about where the raw materials they produce will be used, and who will be the unlucky one if there is a problem and should be held accountable.

So, they shouldn't gamble on this kind of question.

After all, although the production process of high-end titanium alloy is complicated, it is not a complicated industrial product in essence. As long as there is a problem, it will be returned to the furnace and rebuilt as soon as possible. In fact, the cost of consumption is not too much.

Therefore, based on these two inferences, there is only one answer.

That's someone doing malicious damage.

And this person can only be an enemy.

After receiving the news from Ye Zhou, Chen Hao immediately organized a meeting with the core members of the intelligence department. After a short and quick decision-making, at 8 o'clock that night, all the senior leaders of Baotai Group were controlled by the local department.

They didn't know what happened at this time, but when the personnel from the relevant departments sealed off the factory area and brought experts from another domestic high-end titanium alloy manufacturer to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the production process and operation records, they all reacted.

There is something wrong with the titanium alloy products that leave the factory.

At this moment, the leadership who had originally complained immediately lowered their posture and knew everything about the inspectors' problems. They needed to get rid of the relationship immediately—even if they couldn't get rid of the relationship, at least they had to find a way to prove that they were just mismanagement. rather than vandalism.

Under such circumstances, problems in the production process were quickly discovered, and the expert group confirmed that someone had modified the composition of the latest batch of titanium alloys, adding ingredients that could slightly embrittle the titanium alloys.

This composition is extremely difficult to detect, and in the absence of a reference object, even if it is subjected to the most precise mechanical analysis, its strength can meet the basic requirements for use.

But in terms of service life, no one can guarantee it.

All the staff who had access to the production process were taken back to control, including even the cleaning staff in the factory area. After a night of interrogation, the results finally reached the sedan chair project team.

Ye Zhou was sitting in the office, facing Chen Hao and the commander of the intelligence department.

".So, the actual situation is the same as I speculated before. There are indeed some bad elements mixed in Baoti. They tampered with the production process, resulting in a decrease in the quality of the latest titanium alloy?"

The commander of the Intelligence Department nodded and replied:

"This is the case at the moment, and the motive has been basically confirmed. It is aimed at us. However, we are unable to make a thorough characterization of this matter for the time being, because they insist that this is just a commercial competition. The money from the two titanium alloy manufacturers wanted to damage the reputation of Baoti, so they did this.”

"Do you believe that?"

Ye Zhou asked with some amusement.

"Of course I don't believe it, but our work also needs to talk about evidence, so let's try them again. Hey, there are quite a lot of people arrested during this period, and I don't know whether they are for money or for something else. "

Hearing what the commander said, Chen Hao interrupted and said:

"Obviously it's about the money—of course, it's also about what the money can buy. In any case, you've thwarted another attack this time."

"It's not us, but Ye Gong discovered it in time, otherwise it would be really difficult for us to find clues about this kind of technical thing."

Ye Zhou shook his head and replied:

"It's just a coincidence. If I didn't want to apply the matrix system in advance, it is estimated that those of us would have no chance to discover this problem, because the titanium alloy solution has been abandoned by us, and the ground test car will not be equipped with titanium alloy blades. .”

"It's ridiculous to think about it. The other party deliberately tried to attack us on the material, and the result was like punching the air with a fist. If they knew, they would probably be pissed off."

"However, this also shows that we still have some loopholes. This time it is titanium alloy. What if it is ceramic powder next time? We still need to strengthen management, and the acceptance process must be in place."

"In the future, the acceptance will not only need to analyze a single batch of products, but also compare and analyze with the previous batches of products. If differences are found, upgrade them in time to ensure that the quality of the materials is qualified."

Chen Hao nodded and replied:

"Understood, I will explain this request. Also, how do you plan to deal with the opponent, and do you want to take countermeasures?"

Ye Zhou frowned slightly, and after a moment of silence, he said:
"There is no need to counterattack. We have arrested everyone. They probably already know what's going on, but I have an idea."

"With this project up to now, the conflicts between us have basically been put on the table, and now is probably the time to let them know our true attitude."

On the other side of the sea, in the strategic analysis office.

Eisen had just suffered the biggest blow in his career, and he didn't need to care about the defeat on the battlefield of public opinion, because in his opinion it was just a icing on the cake, but when the Navigator entity organization was forced to withdraw, he Already feeling the pressure.

This kind of pressure made him pin his hopes on the material offensive he personally formulated, but what he never expected was that just the day before, he was still emphasizing to his subordinates that there must be no problems with the titanium alloy matter. Today, their actions have all been bottomed out.

Huaxia's reaction was so fast that he couldn't even understand how the other party discovered the problem.

how can that be possible?The titanium alloy with the adjusted formula still has a working life of thousands of hours, even if they have conducted a ground test, it is impossible to find the problem.

According to the design requirements of military engines, the test run time of an engine is at most [-] hours. During these [-] hours, it is impossible for them to find problems with the titanium alloy material.

Only after the engine is accepted and put into practical use, the problems will slowly emerge.

This is also his initial strategy.

But now, this strategy is completely empty.

He tightly gripped the pen in his hand, wanting to sign his name on the latest situation report, but he couldn't do it for a long time.

As long as this name is signed, it means that he will completely lose the trust of the top just like his predecessor.

Even if he can continue to stay in the strategic analysis office as the leader, it will be very difficult to carry out follow-up work.

It shouldn't be like this.
There must be a chance!
He flicked through the thick stack of analysis reports that had been piled up in the past few months, trying to find a new breakthrough point in them.

As long as he can find it, he still has a chance to come back!
Such chances are already very small, but after all, what the other party is doing is what they have done before, whether it is developing engines, or trying to make breakthroughs in materials science and computer science, their own country has already done it .

In terms of technology and experience and even forward-looking vision, absolutely no country can surpass its own motherland.

This is the source of his confidence. With this, he firmly believes that he can definitely find out the opponent's flaws, and then hit the opponent hard.

Just need to give him a little more time
However, when he was flipping through the materials nervously, his analyst suddenly opened the door and walked in.

"Mr. Eisen. I think you should see this."

Eisen was taken aback for a moment, then took the PAD in his hand, on which was an open news page.

He felt a burst of suffocation after just one glance, and his heartbeat almost stopped after he finished reading the full text of the news.

It turned out to be so.
From the very beginning, the opponent did not regard himself as an opponent.

The so-called Turbofan 18 project is simply a cover.

Even, what he infers, the more advanced project hidden behind the turbofan 18 project is just a small part of the opponent's plan.

From the beginning to the end, I just wanted to startle the snake, but I didn't expect that what was hiding in the grass was not a python, but a giant dragon.

it is ridiculous.

I thought that those petty fights on the battlefield of public opinion, those so-called talent competitions, and so-called sabotage could hit the other party's determination and slow down their development, but I never thought that these small actions could affect the opponent's huge ambitions. How insignificant it will appear in the face of grand plans.

This is not a confrontation of size at all, because the resources that the other party intends to invest are thousands of times that of this small office of his own.

After a long silence, Eisen picked up a pen and signed his name on the report, and then walked out of the office without looking back.

The pad he left on the desktop was still on the original news page, and the title of the news only had a few large characters:

"The Nantianmen plan is officially announced!"
