Chapter 332 The Step Behind

Due to water seepage in the tunnel, at this carefully calculated time, the subway finally stopped operating.In the tunnel not far from the Ledson Building, a train stopped, the doors of the carriages were all opened, and the passengers got off the train in an orderly manner, then left the tunnel through the nearest exit and returned to the ground.Although there are emergency lights in the tunnel, they are not enough after all, just enough to illuminate the road.On the contrary, quite a few passengers carried emergency lamps and even tactical flashlights with them.As a veteran power, Dresden has always had a very strong military tradition, and there are quite a few people who carry emergency supplies with them.Although everyone followed the rules and showed strong organizational and civic qualities, small chaos was inevitable.Lin Wenfang easily blended into the crowd, lined up and walked slowly to the ground, and patted each other's shoulders with those citizens who were either grateful or frightened, and gave each other a few strong hugs to comfort and encourage each other.Lin Wenfang didn't act like a guy who just did something that would make ordinary people feel guilty.

Through the monitoring screen of the camera, Zhou Yongda saw these clearly, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.Lin Wenfang is becoming more and more experienced and mature now, his mind and will are far beyond those of his peers, even in the entire army he is the top choice.Especially his previous experience of lurking in Moya gave him new growth.Perhaps others may pay more attention to Lin Wenfang's achievements in mecha division, Tianyao Group and other fields, seeing him constantly bring out new gadgets to surprise or frighten everyone, but Zhou Yongda doesn't pay much attention to them.A person will have talent, skills that can be learned the day after tomorrow, and various resources that can be used: human, material or the simplest financial resources.But it is not these or those that really determine what kind of achievements a person can achieve. In the final analysis, it is how far he can grow in character.Perhaps this ability to be good at concealing won't be praised by many people. For a general like Lin Wenfang with excellent commanding ability, it seems that there is not much use for it. He can only use it occasionally to bask in the sun, but In any case, this can show Lin Wenfang's stable psychological quality.

Twenty minutes later, Lin Wenfang, who came out of the alley, changed into another set of clothes at a place prepared in advance and boarded the command vehicle again.He breathed a sigh of relief, leaning against the wall of the car and panting: "It seems to be completed, the simple connection test has been completed, and I have freed up enough bandwidth to accommodate relevant information. The rest of the comprehensive test and It will take a while for the data interoperability test to produce results, especially after the current abnormal bandwidth conditions have subsided before we can see whether it will work.”

"Since you have considered all these issues, I am still very optimistic." Zhou Yongda took off the helmet and light curtain device on his head, rubbed his eyes and said.Zhou Yongda is not good at commanding in an all-electronic state. He is one of the best field agents and commanders in the world. Today, the assignment of tasks between the two is actually somewhat reversed, but Zhou Yongda is not good at computer systems after all. It is also impossible.

"Don't rush to be happy. There are a lot of documents in their database, including 20 formulas for special metals. These formulas look familiar to me. If possible, I hope to go and see what is the formula. What's the situation?" Lin Wenfang's tone became serious.

"Metal formula?" Zhou Yongda's tone became serious. "What kind of formula?"

"A similar ratio is used in key positions such as the main power shaft of the mecha. It is the molecular alloy formula of the Federation, but judging from the ratio of the formula seen so far, the other party is still making adjustments, and now it can reach at most Although it is still a good thing, if it is used in the same place as similar gadgets from the Federation, there should be problems.” Lin Wenfang’s understanding of mechas is comprehensive, and things like materials, It will never be an insignificant project. Lin Wenfang has made great efforts in this area.

But Zhou Yongda asked somewhat confusedly: "Molecular alloy? Powder alloy? What kind of thing is this?"

Lin Wenfang was surprised, and explained simply: "It seems that you don't pay much attention to this information. Molecular alloys were just born three years ago, shortly before the war started. It is not the current mainstream to make molecular alloys. These material factories are a private research institution located in the Science and Technology Industrial Park of Shenhai City. Their original specialty is polymer synthesis materials, and molecular alloys come from one of their experimental research and development projects. The original intention is to combine different metal materials with molecules The form is stirred and mixed, and homogenized, so that the cohesion effect between molecules can be brought into play. There are three kinds of molecular alloys that have been determined, and they have outstanding performance in hardness, corrosion resistance, and flexibility. However , this kind of material is not easy to produce, and the uniform stirring at the molecular level is not a simple job, and ultra-high-purity metal elements are also required. Before the federal government took back Shenhai City, that company didn't even dare to ask the military to explain that there was They also only have a set of experimental production equipment for this kind of material, and they made it themselves. If it wasn't for the acquisition and capital injection by some consortium, they wouldn't be able to expand production at all. Even now, the output is only a dozen tons a year. All were divided up by several core defense companies. Although the cost is a bit high, the price-performance ratio is still very high. This formula is not based on experiments, but is completely calculated by computers. It is basically a metal Structural Molecular Models."

Zhou Yongda immediately asked by inference: "The powder metal is a simplified version, right?"

Lin Wenfang nodded and said, "Yes, there are still differences in performance. However, compared with traditional alloys, the performance improvement is still obvious."

"Shenhai City? Was it leaked during the duplication process of the data center at that time?" Zhou Yongda rolled his eyes and said reproachfully: "Didn't you spend a lot of energy destroying the data back then? This job was not done cleanly." .”

Lin Wenfang said angrily: "You think I'm a god. The incident was so tense at that time, I only had time to tamper with some data and destroy some disk structures. I almost died there. However, I didn't expect Moya People can really restore data to this point. I asked that Sorento, and he admitted that Raymond Brothers had provided some help to Moya, but the scientists in Moya were doing it themselves. I underestimated their Progress, this should not be an exception, I am afraid that a large part of the technology will have to be re-evaluated. This, it seems that it is not my job, can your department withstand it?"

Zhou Yongda's face suddenly turned blue.What the intelligence department is most afraid of is this kind of work of comprehensive backtracking, classification and detailed assessment. The intelligence department, which will never have enough people, cannot withstand such work pressure.It would be simpler if there was a technical verification of a specific target, but now there are various materials in an entire data center, such a workload cannot be completed even if all intelligence agents from all over the world are combined.

Lin Wenfang curled his lips and said: "The problem is not only that, this information is a document of a metal processing company registered in Dresden. The data of the enterprise needs to be verified, but the problem with this company is Inevitable. It is impossible for any company to come up with a formula similar to ours. This is not a matter of luck. But what if this company has been in operation for long enough? Where will their goods go? What? These need to be verified. According to their order quantity estimates, I have a feeling that the other party may have started to produce these things before we launched a slightly low-end powder alloy, and may not use what we think is perfect. recipe, but tried different recipes over and over again.”

"What do you mean?" Zhou Yongda said, "They started immediately when they got the recipe? From the time, this is the only situation that meets your guess."

Lin Wenfang shrugged and said: "My starting point is that this formula should not appear in Dresden inexplicably. Dresden has enough production capacity to process powder metal. My opinion is that, Starting from this technology, we must push out the technical map that the other party has already cracked. The other party is already one step ahead of us. Moreover, they actually put such an important facility in Dresden. I think you are also very cautious. ... If there is a lot of noise here, it will not be conducive to our relationship with our allies."

Zhou Yongda suddenly thought of a question: "Why are you so interested in this? Although it can be said that you didn't clean your hands and wanted to take a look, but this is not your character. You should not Confused. What sparked your curiosity?"

"Well, I admit that there are indeed some things that bother me. Let's put it this way, molecular metal is an ideal state, and powder metal is a more cost-effective intermediate form. However, even if you get the formula, it's just to verify the formula and process. Wait, it requires very, very complicated and professional computer simulation. The reason why this alloy is so valuable is that the formula can be calculated, but how to turn the idealized formula into a finished product involves more complicated algorithms. You Look carefully at the formula sheet. The sum of several metal elements is not 99.15%, but 0.85%. The [-]% impurity is included in the calculation. In this regard, we have not done it here, so a single casting The success rate is not very high. Because this little impurity has an extremely complex composition, such as oxides, irrelevant dust, etc. I want to know how the other party incorporates these impurities into the calculation, so that What's going on with the fault-tolerant algorithm."

Zhou Yongda laughed. He shook his head and said, "Is there anything in the real world that can make you obsessed? This kind of nothingness makes you very excited."
