Great Power Technology

The test requested by Ye Zhou was completed quickly under urgent circumstances, and the results were exactly as he expected.

Indeed, this batch of titanium alloys in storage can fully meet the previously preset usage standards, but the problem is that through α-β high and low magnification structural inspection, they found that this batch of titanium alloys is indeed on par with the previous batch. There are slight differences in ingredients.

Ye Zhou immediately contacted Chen Hao. His intuition told him that although this difference was small, there was definitely something bigger hidden behind it.

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

Either they want to fake it one after another, or there is something evil inside.

The possibility of the former situation happening is too low. On the one hand, high-end titanium alloys have strict testing procedures before leaving the factory, so it is impossible to have problems and still pass the testing.

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

Therefore, they should not gamble their luck on this issue.

After all, although the production process of high-end titanium alloy is complicated, it is not a complex industrial product in nature. As long as there is a problem, it can be remade as soon as possible. In fact, the cost 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 senior leaders of Baoti Group were controlled by the local department.

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

There is something wrong with the titanium alloy products shipped from the factory.

At this moment, the leaders who were still complaining immediately put down their status and told them everything about the censors' problems. They needed to clear up the relationship immediately - even if they couldn't clear up the relationship, at least they had to find a way to prove that they were just mismanaging. rather than malicious destruction.

Under such circumstances, problems in the production process were quickly discovered. The expert group confirmed that someone had modified the composition of the latest batch of titanium alloys and added ingredients that could cause the titanium alloys to become slightly embrittled.

This component is extremely difficult to detect. In the absence of a reference object, even the most precise mechanical analysis will fail to meet basic usage requirements.

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

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

Ye Zhou was sitting in the office. Opposite him were Chen Hao and the commander of the Intelligence Department.

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

The commander of the Intelligence Division nodded and replied:

"That's the case so far, and the motive has been basically confirmed, and it's just for us. However, we can't completely characterize this matter for the time being, because they insist that this is just business competition, and they are taking over other domestic companies. The money from the two titanium alloy manufacturers wanted to destroy Baoti’s reputation, so they did this.”

"Do you believe this?"

Ye Zhou asked a little funny.

"Of course I don't believe it, but our work also requires evidence, so let's interrogate them again. Hey, there are so many people arrested during this period. I don't know if they are doing it for money or something else. "

After hearing what the commander said, Chen Hao interrupted and said:

"Obviously it's for money - of course, it can also be said that they are for the things that money can buy. In any case, you have defeated another attack this time."

"It wasn't us, but Ye Gong discovered it in time. Otherwise, it would be really difficult for us to find clues for this kind of technical thing."

Ye Zhou shook his head and replied:

"It's just a coincidence. If I hadn't wanted to apply the matrix system in advance, we probably wouldn't have had the chance to discover this problem, because the titanium alloy solution was abandoned by us, and the ground test car would not have titanium alloy blades by then. .”

"It's quite funny when you think about it. The other party deliberately tried to attack us on the materials, but the result was like punching the air. If they knew, they would probably be pissed to death."

"However, this also shows that we do 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."

"The future acceptance inspection will not only require the analysis of a single batch of products, but also a comparative analysis with previous batches of products. If any differences are found, they will be upgraded in time to ensure that the material quality is qualified."

Chen Hao nodded and replied:

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

Ye Zhou's brows furrowed slightly. After a moment of silence, he spoke:

"There's no need to counterattack. We've already arrested everyone. They probably already know what's going on, but I do have an idea."

"Up to this point in this project, the conflicts between us have basically been put on the table. 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. He could not care less about the defeat on the battlefield of public opinion, because in his opinion it was just an icing on the cake, but when the Navigator entity organization was forced to cancel, he Already feeling the pressure.

This kind of pressure made him place his hopes on the material offensive he had 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 titanium alloy matters. Today, all their actions have been kicked off.

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

how can that be possible? The titanium alloy whose formula has been obviously adjusted still has a working life of thousands of hours. Even if they have conducted ground testing, it is impossible to find problems.

According to the design requirements of military engines, the test run time of an engine is only 300 hours at most. During these 300 hours, it is impossible for them to find problems with titanium alloy materials.

Only when this engine is accepted and put into practical use will problems slowly emerge.

This was also his initial strategy.

But now, this strategy completely fell into place.

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

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

Even if you can continue to stay in the Strategic Analysis Office as the leader, it will be very difficult to carry out subsequent work.

It shouldn't be like this.

There must still be a chance!

He looked through the thick pile of analysis reports that had accumulated over the past few months with a slightly manic attitude, trying to find a new breakthrough point in them.

As long as he can find it, he still has a chance to make a comeback!

Such a chance is 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, our country has already done it. .

In terms of technology, 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 the opponent's flaws and then hit the opponent hard.

Just need to give him a little more time

However, just as he was flipping through the materials nervously, his analyst suddenly opened the door and walked in.

"Mr. Eisen, I think you should take a look at this."

Eisen was stunned for a moment, then took the PAD in his hand, which showed an open news page.

After just one glance, he felt suffocated. By the time he read the full text of the news, his heartbeat had almost stopped.

So that’s it.

The other party never regarded themselves as opponents from the beginning.

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

Even what he inferred was that the more advanced project hidden behind the Turbofan 18 project was just a small part of the opponent's plan.

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

That's ridiculous.

I thought that those petty quarrels on the battlefield of public opinion, those so-called competitions for talents, and so-called sabotage could undermine the other party's determination and slow down their development, but I never thought that these small actions would affect the other party's huge ambitions. How small it will seem in front of the grand plan.

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

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!"
