Chapter 51: Chapter 51 Metal Smelting Technology Chapter 51: Chapter 51 Metal Smelting Technology USA (terms are adjusted slightly for harmony), the Great Commander received the first intelligence analysis from his agents. “He Xingzhou is just a college student, who is said to be highly regarded for his exceptional talent and was selected to work at their National Academy of Sciences.” “Now it seems that Shen Zhou Country has convened many scientists to tackle new technologies, and this He Xingzhou, according to our analysis, is likely just a spokesperson for Shen Zhou Country’s technology.” “There’s no way he could have developed such novel technologies by himself; these technologies all come from the team behind him.” “Further intelligence is currently unavailable as they are highly secretive about it. Our operatives can’t even get close to this He Xingzhou.” After reviewing the analysis, the Great Commander said, “A college student, no matter how talented, can’t possibly be expert in so many fields. It seems he is indeed just a spokesperson. We must admit, Shen Zhou Country’s approach is very effective.” “If we could do the same, our technology...” An aide interrupted ruthlessly, “Great Commander, that’s impossible. Not to mention those enterprises and scientists, even we ourselves can’t unite completely.” The Great Commander also felt helpless; it was an undeniable truth. The aide continued with the analysis: “They claim to be making a model of the Space Air Mother Ship, but in reality, they want to research metal metallurgy and machine tool manufacturing technologies.” “Can they come up with something?” asked the Great Commander. “We’ve consulted experts, and currently, the cutting-edge technology in this area is mostly held by us, Germany, Switzerland, Japan, and Korea. There has been no news this year of any technological breakthrough from Shen Zhou. Considering their previous technological breakthroughs, we suspect they might have mastered some pioneering technology, but the likelihood of them completely reaching the global elite level is still not high,” replied an advisor from the think tank. After thinking it over, the Great Commander said, “Regardless, we can’t let them proceed smoothly. Contact the others, continue to create obstacles!” ... The German Mechanical Equipment Manufacturing Federation, which is also part of the Western Alliance’s Industrial Union. A video of He Xingzhou caught the attention of the Industrial Union of the Western Alliance. “We’ve only recently restricted the automotive industry and related parts, and they release this news. They’re trying to break our technological monopoly!” “There’s no need to go to war over this; it’s just their smokescreen! I refuse to believe that they can so easily break technology we’ve been leading for decades?” “What exactly are they trying to do? What research team stands behind this He Xingzhou? Why is there no intelligence at all?” “Immediately have Shen Zhou’s investigators conduct inquiries; we must know everything behind this!” ... Japan and Korea are also paying close attention to this matter, and compared to the USA and the Western Alliance, they take He Xingzhou’s video even more seriously. “From today onward, any technology or equipment they seek to acquire shall be put on hold! This includes suspending some previous collaborations; they absolutely cannot surpass us in this area!” Their sense of crisis is extremely strong, as Shen Zhou imports a significant amount of special metals from these two countries yearly, purchasing machine tools and manufacturing high-precision parts. If Shen Zhou manages to produce these themselves, they would lose a substantial amount of profit. ... In Shanghai, Baosan Steel Co., Ltd., the largest metal material company in the country and a state-owned enterprise. At this moment, in the metallurgical technology research center of Baosan Steel Co., Ltd., a group of technical experts from Japan were packing up, preparing to evacuate. “Mr. Nishikawa, is there really no room to maneuver on this matter?” Qiu Yang, a senior executive at Baosan, was trying to retain these technical experts. They all came from Sakura Steel Engineering Holding Company, one of the top steel companies in the world, ranking second! Previously, it was not easy for Baosan to negotiate and cooperate with them on a project to help improve special steel metallurgy technology. Of course, the assistance was very limited, with the core technology not disclosed at all, which is better than nothing. “Sorry, Mr. Qiu, our company has received instructions from the Steel Industry Association of Japan to halt the related engineering project. We must leave, but we hope there will be another chance to collaborate,” said Nishikawa Kenta, the leader of this group of technical experts and a global expert in metal metallurgy technology. “By doing this, you’re violating our previous agreement!” Qiu Yang reminded them. “No, no, no, it’s not us who are breaking the agreement,” Nishikawa Kenta unapologetically retorted, “We’ve already taught you quite a lot. We’ve done what we should do. There is no breach of contract.” “I heard that your company is also working on manufacturing a new type of smelting furnace, and I wish you success in advance.” While Nishikawa Kenta expressed his wishes, his face clearly displayed disdain and arrogance. The group of experts from Sakura Steel Company all wore smirks as well. While here for exchanges, they enjoyed good food, fun, and comfortable tourism, but when it came to critical technology, they were evasive. In their eyes, these people were too easy to fool. Enjoying their hospitality and leveraging their technological superiority to force purchases of their country’s special steel and related products, they were delighted. “That’s really too bad,” Qiu Yang said with a feigned sigh, “If you had stayed a few more days, you could have seen our new plasma furnace’s trial run.” He was also displeased with these foreign experts and wanted to see their frustrated expressions. And the so-called new plasma furnace was the one originally designed by He Xingzhou, manufactured by a professional facility and soon to arrive. “Nani?” Hearing his words, Nishikawa Kenta was taken aback. They were moving so quickly; there was only a little bit of noise, and they already had a finished product? Was it their smokescreen? Nishikawa Kenta thought to himself, but he felt it was better to see for himself! This was a matter related to the company and the entire industry of Japan! He then said, “We would also like to see your new equipment. If it’s convenient, may we have a tour?” Qiu Yang smiled, “Of course, you can. In three days, we will be testing and you are welcome to visit.” Hearing that the equipment had already been tested without issues, he was filled with anticipation. If these experts saw the scene of their new plasma furnace in operation, would they be surprised? Could they still be so arrogant then? Would Japan and other relevant companies and organizations from different regions dare to suppress them? Perhaps by then, the situation would change; finding that Shen Zhou could produce special steel independently, they would start breaching cooperation agreements and engaging in price wars, leading to internal chaos! Three days later, He Xingzhou arrived at a steel production base of Baosan Steel Co., Ltd. with a plasma furnace he had designed and was manufactured by the research institute.
