Liang Tingshan noticed that his knuckles were turning white as he held the blueprint. The bloodshot eyes of this technical backbone turned red, and he responded with a choked voice:

"With your words, it's worth it even if I, Liang Tingshan, become bald!"

Zhou Qi leaned against the door frame of the conference room, watching two men who were more than ten years older than him encouraging each other like soldiers about to go to war, and the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously.

When Yi Fangzhe grabbed his helmet and was about to rush to the workshop, Zhou Qi raised his hand and pressed his shoulder: "It will take three hours to debug the equipment. Why don't you try the braised pork first."

Amid the clinking of stainless steel plates in the cafeteria, Liang Tingshan was yelling into his phone in dialect: "Bring out all the German drawings from Workshop No. 3! Yes, now!"

Zhou Qi called Lei Jun's personal number and said, "Send eight mechanical automation experts who can understand German drawings."

There was the sound of keyboard tapping on the other end of the line: "Understood, I'll bring the second assault team over."

When everyone returned to Yamaichi Heavy Industry, the setting sun dyed the iron door of the workshop amber.

Lei Jun stood in front of a precision machine tool holding a tactical tablet. The eight engineers behind him all had golden gear badges on the front of their work clothes - this is the symbol of Jingshan Group's top technical backbone.

In the corner, twelve water-cooled workstations were puffing out steam, and a holographic projector was sketching out three-dimensional gear models in the air.

"Everyone, this is our lifeline - Yigong."

Liang Tingshan patted the CNC operating table, and the metal table made a dull echo.

More than 20 Chinese and foreign engineers looked up from the pile of drawings, and several blond technical consultants exchanged surprised glances.

They recognized the faded badge on Yi Fangzhe's work clothes; it was the emblem of the International Heavy Industry Forum's Lifetime Achievement Award.

When Yi Fangzhe took the laser pen, Zhou Qi noticed that the old mechanical watch on his wrist began to vibrate slightly, and the glass of the dial reflected dense calculation formulas.

When the first set of bearing parameters were projected onto the dome screen, the entire workshop was suddenly filled with a roar of German, Chinese and keyboard sounds, as if a steel behemoth was waking up.

The air in the workshop suddenly froze.

Several foreign engineers exchanged glances, their faces gradually turning blue under their blond hair.

William, with curly hair like steel wire, strode out of the queue and banged his bony knuckles heavily on the equipment table: "Mr. Bos, are you questioning our professional ability?"

The Chinese spoken by the chief engineer of Yamaichi Heavy Industries has a harsh metallic sound, like the friction of rusty gears.

As the technical ace that Liang Tingshan hired from overseas at a high salary, William was looking at the man who was called an expert.

Yi Fangzhe's thin body was wrapped in his work clothes covered with coal dust, making him look like a miner who had just been pulled out of a mine.

To let such a slovenly Oriental man take precedence over his own team? He felt his temples throbbing.

“This is a win-win cooperation.”

Liang Tingshan rubbed his hands to smooth things over, sweat dripping from his forehead: "William, our hydraulic transmission system has been stuck for three months, and Engineer Yi just happened to..."

"nonsense!"

William's sudden roar shook the ceiling chandelier: "You Oriental experts are just vases in the laboratory!"

He waved his arm with throbbing veins and pointed at Yi Fangzhe: "Get this black coal ball out! Otherwise, we will all resign!"

The metal toolbox suddenly made a muffled sound. Yi Fangzhe had squatted in front of the operating table without knowing when, and his oily fingers were gently stroking the scattered gear sets.

He picked up the drawing that William had crumpled up and unfolded it under the glaring incandescent light: "According to the Implementation Rules of the Patent Law, the copyright of your company's drawings belongs to Yamaichi Heavy Industries."

The calm voice measured every word like a precision vernier caliper: "And I am now a hired technical consultant."

William's pupils suddenly contracted. The man he called "black coal ball" was now using a magnifying glass to observe the wear marks on the hydraulic valve core.

The ceiling light of the workshop cast a bronze luster on his dark skin, and his calloused fingertips moved across the parameters of the drawing like a pianist stroking the keys.

"here."

Yi Fangzhe suddenly circled a coordinate with a pencil: "You ignored the resonance effect of the third-order harmonic on the seal."

He looked up at William, who was pale. "Do you want me to explain the application of Bernoulli's equation to unsteady flow? In German or English?"

Questions suddenly arose in the technical discussion area:

"This modification plan has systemic risks - the gap between the adjustment plate and the nozzle is too narrow, the throttle valve aperture exceeds the standard, and the residual pressure of the entire hydraulic system will exceed the safety threshold."

"The oil circuit module poses a greater risk."

The speaker tapped the blueprint with a wrench: "There is contaminant residue in the overflow valve cavity, and the valve core cannot be completely closed. Look at this throttling stop valve. The opening is too large, causing abnormal leakage of hydraulic oil..."

Hydraulic expert Yi Fangzhe pushed up his glasses and scanned the 3D drawing with a laser pen:

"What's more serious is that the overall renovation has chain defects. As the project leader, I don't understand why you allowed these obvious technical loopholes to be ignored."

The air in the conference room suddenly froze, and red comments flickered on the projection screen.

"All core components are purchased overseas, and domestic alternatives can fully meet the technical indicators."

Yi Fangzhe called up the comparison parameters: "This not only increases the cost by 40%, but also lays a minefield for later maintenance. Mr. William, is your motive for including these private goods in the design specifications to kidnap the technology?"

When the words "technological kidnapping" were spoken loudly, R&D Director Liang Tingshan suddenly clenched the test report in his hand.

Only at this moment did he realize that behind those seemingly professional technical parameters, there was actually a carefully designed chain of interests.

Frequently replaced imported accessories and deliberately shortened equipment lifespan, every link is like a precisely calculated blood-sucking pump.

"The trust of Chinese engineers is not a tool to make money!"

Yi Fangzhe's oscilloscope suddenly froze on an abnormal waveform:

"Look at this pressure curve. According to the current plan, the system will collapse after 3000 hours at most. And the price of the imported valve body you suggested is three times the market price!"

William, who was exposed in public, suddenly jumped up, and the metal chair legs made a harsh sound on the ground: "Without my patent authorization, you can't even crack the hydraulic compensation algorithm!"

The blond engineer tore off his disguise, pointed at the wall full of patent certificates and shouted: "Either accept my technology bundle, or wait for the project to fail!"

Liang Tingshan looked at the out-of-control situation with cold eyes and slapped the test data on the table: "From the moment you tampered with the seal specifications, the so-called patent authorization is a joke."

He turned to the security director and said, "Notify the legal department and initiate a technical fraud investigation in twenty minutes."

Can the problem be solved now?

Liang Tingshan touched the hot mechanical arm, his fingertips trembling slightly.

The conditions William offered were indeed tempting, but when he caught a glimpse of the red flag flying on the roof of the R&D building outside the window, a bitter taste like rust suddenly surged into his throat.

"Mr. Liang, look at this stress parameter..."

Yi Fangzhe came over holding a tablet, and the data jumping on the screen made Liang Tingshan's pupils shrink suddenly.
