Chapter 183 Official Announcement
The test Ye Zhou asked for was completed quickly in an expedited situation, and the result was exactly the same as he expected.
Indeed, this batch of titanium alloys stored in the warehouse can fully meet the preset usage standards before, but the problem is that through the α-β high and low-magnetic tissue inspection, they found that there are indeed slight differences in composition between this batch of titanium alloys and the previous batch.
Ye Zhou immediately contacted Chen Hao, and his intuition told him that although the 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 can there be no difference between the previous batch and the next batch?
Either they want to be good in turn, or there are ghosts inside.
The possibility of the former situation is too low. On the one hand, high-end titanium alloys have strict inspection procedures when leaving the factory, and it is impossible to have problems and can still pass the inspection.
On the other hand, Baoti's leadership is very clear about where the raw materials they produce will be used, and also knows who will be unlucky if the problem occurs.
So, they should not bet on luck on this kind of issue.
After all, although the production process of high-end titanium alloys is complex, it is essentially not a complex industrial finished product. As long as there is a problem, it will be rebuilt as soon as possible. In fact, the cost of consuming is not too much.
Therefore, based on these two points, there is only one answer.
That is someone is maliciously destroying it.
And this person can only be an enemy.
After receiving Ye Zhou's news, Chen Hao immediately organized a meeting with core members of the intelligence department. After a brief and rapid decision-making, at 8 pm that day, all senior leaders of Baoti Group were controlled by the local department.
At this time, they didn't know what was going on. But when the relevant department blocked the factory and took another expert from a domestic high-end titanium alloy manufacturer to conduct a comprehensive audit of the production process and operation records, they all reacted.
There is something wrong with the titanium alloy product that has been left factory.
At this moment, the leadership, who had some complaints, immediately put down their figure and knew everything about the censors. They needed to immediately separate their relationship - even if they could not, at least they had to find a way to prove that they were just poor management, rather than malicious damage.
In this case, problems in the production process were quickly discovered. The expert team confirmed that someone had modified the composition of the latest batch of titanium alloys and added ingredients that could cause the titanium alloy to undergo slight embrittlement.
This component is extremely difficult to detect. Without reference objects, even if it is subjected to the most precise mechanical analysis, its strength can meet the basic requirements for use.
But no one can guarantee it in terms of service life.
All the staff who could get in touch with the production process were taken back to control, including the factory cleaning staff. After a night of interrogation, it was finally reported to the Huashi project team.
Ye Zhou sat in the office, opposite him was Chen Hao and the commander of the intelligence department.
"...So, the actual situation is just like what I had previously speculated. Some bad molecules were indeed mixed in Baotitanium. They tampered with the production process, resulting in the reduction of the quality of the latest titanium alloy?"
The commander of the Intelligence Department nodded and replied:
"It's like this at the moment, and the motivation has been basically confirmed, it's for us. However, we cannot completely determine this matter for the time being, because they insisted that it was just a commercial competition, and they took money from two other titanium alloy manufacturers in China and wanted to destroy Baoti's reputation, so they did this."
"Do you believe this?"
Ye Zhou asked with some amusement.
"Of course I don't believe it, but our work also requires evidence, so let's try them again. Alas, there are so many people arrested during this period. I don't know whether they are for money or something else."
Hearing the commander's words, Chen Hao interrupted:
"Obviously it's for money -- of course, it can also be said that they're for the things that money can buy. Anyway, you've defeated another attack this time."
"It's not us, but Mr. Ye discovered it in time. Otherwise, it would be difficult for us to find clues about such technical things."
Ye Zhou shook his head and replied:
"It's just a coincidence. If I hadn't wanted to apply the matrix system in advance, I guess we wouldn't have had the chance to discover this problem at all, because the titanium alloy solution was abandoned by us, and titanium alloy blades would not be installed on the ground interview."
"It's ridiculous to think about it. The other party was deliberately trying to attack us on the materials, but it turned out to be like punching the air. If they knew, they would probably be pissed to death."
"However, this also shows that we do have some loopholes. This time it is titanium alloy, and what if it is ceramic powder every time it is? Management must be strengthened, and the acceptance process must be done in place."
"In the future, the acceptance will not only be carried out to analyze single batches of products, but also compare and analyze the previous batches of products. If differences are found, upgrade in time to ensure the quality of the material."
Chen Hao nodded and replied:
"I understand, I will explain this request. In addition, what are you going to do with your opponent? Do you need to take some countermeasures?"
Ye Zhou frowned slightly, and after a moment of silence, he spoke:
"There is no need to counterattack. We have all arrested everyone. They probably already know what's going on, but I have an idea." Gu Su
"To this project has been achieved, the conflict between our two sides has basically been put on the table. Now it is probably the time to let them know our true attitude..."
......
On the other side of the sea, in the Office of Strategic Analysis.
Eisen just suffered the biggest blow in his career. He could not care 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 be revoked, he had already felt the pressure.
This pressure made him pin his hopes on the material offensive he formulated himself, but what he never expected was that just the day before, he was emphasizing with his subordinates that titanium alloy matters must not have any problems. Today, their actions have been exposed.
Huaxia's reaction was so fast that he couldn't even understand how the other party discovered the problem.
How is it possible? The titanium alloy that has been adjusted for the formula still has a working life of thousands of hours. Even if they have conducted a ground interview, it is impossible to find problems.
According to the design requirements of military engines, the test run of an engine is only 300 hours at most. In these 300 hours, it is impossible for them to discover problems with titanium alloy materials.
Only when this engine is accepted and actually applied will the problem slowly emerge.
This was his initial strategy.
But now, this strategy has completely fallen into the air.
His hand tightly held the pen in his hand, trying to sign his name on the latest situation report, but he couldn't do it for a long time.
Once this name is signed, it means that he will completely lose the trust of the top like his ex.
Even if you can continue to stay in the strategic analysis office as the leader, it will become difficult to carry out the subsequent work.
It shouldn't be like this...
There must be a chance!
He looked through the analysis reports that had been piled up in the past few months with a slightly manic ambitions, hoping to find a new breakthrough point in it.
As long as he can find it, he will have a chance to turn the tables!
This opportunity is already very small, but after all, the other party is doing what they have done before. Whether it is developing engines, trying to do materials science, or computer science breakthroughs, their own 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 other party's flaws and then hit the other party hard.
It just needs to give him some more time...
However, just as he was nervously flipping through the materials, his analyst suddenly pushed open the door and walked in.
"Mr. Eisen...I think you should look at this."
Aisen was stunned for a moment and took the pad in his hand, which was an open news page.
After just one look, he felt a suffocation. After he finished reading the full text of the news, his heartbeat almost stopped.
So that's it...
From the beginning, the other party did not regard himself as an opponent.
The so-called Turbofan 18 project is simply a cover.
Even what he inferred that the more advanced project hidden behind the Turbofan 18 project was just a small part of the other party's plan.
From beginning to end, I just wanted to alert the snake, but unexpectedly, it was not a python hidden in the grass, but a giant dragon.
It's so ridiculous.
I thought that those small fights on the battlefield of public opinion, the so-called talent competition, and the so-called destruction can hit the other party's determination to slow down their development, but I never thought how insignificant these small moves would appear in the face of the other party's huge ambitions and grand plans.
This is not a confrontation of size at all, because the other party intends to invest thousands of times more resources 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 stuck on the original news page, and the title of the news was only a few big words:
Chapter completed!
