Chapter 598 Someone is targeting us

A convoy of several Maz trucks headed towards the airport. When they were still two kilometers away from the airport, military vehicles roared over and surrounded them.

“We are Alpha Force.” The heavily armed Goncharov walked outside the first Maz truck and shouted to the people inside: “We are ordered to destroy the storage equipment in your vehicle.”

The people responsible for the transportation tasks include people from the Mingzhou Group and people from the Kuznetsov Design Bureau. The leader of the latter is Valentin. When he saw the formation below, he understood something.

“You are only here to destroy storage devices, not all obsolete computers?”

"Of course not, we are professionals." Goncharov said: "The circuits in the computer will not cause leaks, only the storage devices will cause leaks. Please forgive our rudeness, we only destroy the storage devices."

"Then you've come to the wrong place." Valentin smiled and shook his head: "Of course we will not cause any leaks. All the hard drives and other storage devices on our abandoned computers have been removed. "

 Demolished?

Goncharov was stunned: "When was it demolished?"

"Of course, before transporting it out, we originally planned to format the hard drive directly, but Mr. Qin of Mingzhou Group said that this might also cause data leakage. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, we asked us to dismantle all the storage devices. Come down and send it to a special warehouse for safekeeping."

Goncharov waved his hand hesitantly and watched his men climb into the truck compartment and randomly select a few computers. As expected, there were only circuit boards and no storage devices inside.

 “Mr. Goncharov, can we go?” Valentine asked.

"Yes, as long as there is no possibility of leaking secrets, these rags can be disposed of in this way." Goncharov said nothing.

 Watching the convoy leave, Goncharov's assistant asked: "Captain, shall we end the mission now?"

“Of course not, let’s go to the Kuznetsov Design Bureau and see where the inventory storage equipment is.”

When the heavily armed Alpha troops arrived at the Kuznetsov Design Bureau, Qin Tao was watching the technical staff of the design bureau excitedly using the Longxiang server to conduct simulation runs. The data migration had been completed and the programs on the server had also been transplanted. Come over.

“It’s great. It used to take a month to calculate data, but now it can be calculated in a few minutes. With this server, we will be able to develop more advanced rocket engines in the future!” Victor Checo was extremely excited.

 The improvement of computers allows them to fly in at the speed of a rocket.

At this moment, a group of people came in. Looking at the appearance of those people, Victor Checo was stunned, and then became annoyed for a while: "What are you doing? There are no emergencies that need you to deal with here. Whose order did you accept to come to our design bureau to cause trouble?"

"I'm sorry, we only accept orders from Moscow. We are here to investigate whether the storage devices in your eliminated computers will cause leaks."

"Leaks? What other secrets do we have? The important scientific research results of our design bureau are the NK-33 engine and its improved NK-43. These engines are not needed in the country! We are even forced to use the NK-33 in stock The engines must be sold in exchange for our wages. Moscow's order? Has Moscow ever cared about our life and death? Now the Americans are coming to buy engines. Has Moscow ever supported us? What reason do they have to interfere with our normal work? Get out of here. , get out of here right now!”

Victor Checo was very angry. In his mind, he could instantly think that the rival Power Machinery Research and Production Consortium was looking for trouble!

The other party also produces rocket engines, and in terms of exports, it has been grabbing orders from the Kuznetsov Design Bureau. Originally, American customers wanted to come to see the NK-43 engine, but they were led to see other engines. .

This time, they finally updated their equipment and got on Mingzhou Group's lap, but the other party came again and deliberately caused trouble.

"I'm sorry, we are carrying out Moscow's orders. We need to see the dismantled storage equipment with our own eyes and destroy them all." Goncharov fulfilled his duty.

"What? Destroy? What authority do you have to destroy it? Those storage devices belong to our design bureau! And they are used as backup. If the hard drive of our current equipment breaks down in the future, we can still find the backup." Victor Ceco He looked at the visitor angrily: "Are you sent from Moscow? Okay, I'll call Moscow now. Who gave the order for you to come to our design bureau to cause trouble!"

This time Goncharov was embarrassed. The order he received was to intercept the convoy, not to investigate the Kuznetsov Design Bureau.

Now, if things get too big, he may also be implicated. After all, what they are doing now is beyond the authority of their Alpha Force.

"Okay, let's withdraw." Goncharov said: "Please note that if it causes data leakage, you will be a sinner of the country and a traitor!"

“Hmph, I know the confidentiality regulations better than you!”

 Watching the men with loaded guns and ammunition leave, Qin Tao sighed: "Thanks to our preparations in advance, otherwise these people would find a reason to cause trouble for us!"

“Hmph, if they dare to cause trouble, I will go to Moscow to complain!”

“Mr. Victor Ceco, sometimes complaining will not have any effect, and may even completely disappear due to the efficiency of the bureaucracy. If you can’t swallow this breath, we might as well disclose this matter to the media.”

Victor Checo's eyes lit up: "That's right, let the whole country and the whole world know about this! Huh, although our Kuznetsov Design Bureau has declined, we have not yet been bullied everywhere. situation!"

“If you want to do this, we can help, but in the media, it is best not to expose our Mingzhou Group.” Qin Tao said.

Victor Checo nodded: "Of course, we will not implicate the Mingzhou Group."

Unable to swallow this breath, Victor Ceco found a group of reporters that day, took photos of the hard drives in stock, and then elaborated on the matter. The overall theme was twofold. We replaced the computer with a new one. But data leaks are nonsense! Someone is deliberately trying to cause trouble for us and suppress our Kuznetsov Design Bureau!

 After this incident was publicized, there was a sensation throughout the country.

The reason for this sensation is actually not just because the Kuznetsov Design Bureau was suppressed, nor just because of the contradictions within the aerospace system, but more importantly, the decline of the empire!

In the era of the Red Empire, it was so powerful and various scientific research institutions were prosperous. What about now? Now that the aerospace system has declined, their most advanced rocket engines are being sold to their former rivals, the Americans. They are even fighting to export their own rocket engines!

This contrast makes countless people sigh. They all miss the beautiful era, but unfortunately they can no longer go back.

Taking this opportunity, the Zhang Zhongshuo program also joined in the fun and made a special episode of Zhang Zhongshuo's launch vehicle.

“Dear viewers, we are very happy today. We have invited the head of Starship Company, Mr. Max! He has just come from Da Mao and inspected Da Mao’s aerospace system. Now, please introduce it to us.”

Max actually doesn't like this kind of activity. He thinks it's a waste of time. He would rather use his precious time to build starships. However, this task was assigned to him by President Qin, so he could only accept it.

"In the era of the Red Empire, the most powerful rocket was the N1. However, due to the launch explosion, the project was eventually abandoned by the North. After that, the Red Empire developed the Energy Rocket, which has a near-earth carrying capacity of more than 100 tons. However, with the development of the Red Empire Collapse, this kind of rocket also disappeared into history. Its legacy is the RD-170 series engines and the Zenit launch vehicle. The Zenit rocket is the most special, and its core stage is the Energy booster. From this This shows how huge the Energy Number is.”

 The comparison between the Zenith launch vehicle and the Energia rocket appeared on the screen, which was more intuitive.

"Okay, let's talk about the contradictions in DaMao's aerospace system this time. These contradictions also reflect the decline of DaMao's aerospace system. The Kuznetsov Design Bureau has a good relationship with our country. Our starship company A large number of NK-33 engines were purchased, but I don’t know if it is directly related to this search.”

Hit the noise of the TV program, Xu Zhengyang whispered to Qin Tao: "Mr. Qin, everything has been arranged!"

Qin Tao nodded: "Well, it seems that this trip has been completed. It's almost time for us to pack up and go back."

"Mr. Qin, now that we have provoked this conflict alone, what good will it do to us?" Xu Zhengyang was still a little surprised.

Qin Tao smiled: "Huh, in Moscow, if someone wants to target our Mingzhou Group, we have to let them see clearly how strong our Mingzhou Group is here in Damao, so that those people can use it as a weapon! If they want to do it again in the future, They came to cause trouble for us, and they died without even knowing how they died!"

From this small search operation, Qin Tao has already smelled something else. It is impossible for him to make everyone like him. As the scale of Mingzhou Group becomes larger and larger, there will always be pink eye.

 So, he must show his sword and let the other party know what will happen if he offends the Mingzhou Group! The pressure from all aspects should probably be on the rise now.

The big chaebols in Kimchi Country can completely influence the situation of the country. If any leader does not cooperate with them, they will be replaced. Although the Mingzhou Group does not have such great energy, it is still no problem to make that guy afraid.

“Well, Mr. Qin, shall we go back directly?”

“Let’s go around again. This conflict has made many people dissatisfied. Maybe we can trick some people into going back.”

 Bar near the design bureau.

 “Hmph, they are too domineering! This is a suppression of our design bureau!”

“The Mingzhou Group is attracting attention, and the big boss’s goal this time is probably to suppress the Mingzhou Group, right?”

“Huh, what’s wrong with the Mingzhou Group? This time we are sending engineers to the East. I don’t know how many people are vying to go. The salary is high, the benefits are good, and the scientific research funds are sufficient. Once you go there, you won’t want to come back.”

"Oh, it's a pity that we are all engaged in aviation engines. Mingzhou Group doesn't want it. If I could work there, I would rather not have this job now. I only get two or three months' salary a year, and I can't even drink. !”

Sobolev looked at these companions, raised his hands helplessly, put the bottle to his mouth, and took a few gulps.

The design bureau and the Mingzhou Group reached a cooperation intention, and they also paid a sum of money. Only then did they have the opportunity to go out for a drink, but then they will have to live a hard life again! They don't have any scientific research projects, so it would be nice if they could pay them a basic salary.

“Mr. Sobolev, are you drinking alone?” At this moment, a voice came from the side.

Sobolev turned his head and saw the familiar face. He thought about it in his mind and realized: "Are you Mr. Qin's assistant?"

"Yes, our President Qin is leaving soon." Xu Zhengyang said: "He is the most enthusiastic, like Santa Claus, helping others realize their dreams. Mr. Sobolev, what is your dream?"

my dream?

 Sobolev shook his head: "I have no dreams."

“Our domestic large aircraft project has been launched, and we also need engines with strong thrust. Mr. Sobolev, do you want to go to our east to realize your dream?”

Sobolev continued to shake his head: "I don't want to."

“Well, I hope we can meet again in the future.” After Xu Zhengyang finished speaking, he carried the bottle and walked towards several other people who were drinking. Soon, laughter and laughter came from there.

Sobolev felt a little lonely. He drank the last sip of wine and staggered out of the door. Suddenly he felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach, so he turned back to the bar. As soon as he walked to the door of the bar bathroom, he heard some debris. A small voice came from the room.

"Yes, please don't worry. I have recorded all my contacts with the Easterners. I will arrest them all tonight and ask them to reveal the Easterners' sinister intentions. Especially that Sobolev, we will never let him go. Get over him!"

What? At this moment, Sobolev felt that the hairs on his back stood up and all the wine was gone.

At this time, there was a noise in the bathroom. He immediately turned around and entered the bathroom door, pretending to wash his hands and looking at the back of the bartender. This man was actually a spy from the intelligence system!

What should we do now?

Obviously, this media report has made some people unhappy, and they are planning to break up with the Mingzhou Group. If they fight, Sobolev can sit on the sidelines, but now, if he also If you get involved, that would be bad.

This is a fight between gods and gods, and the little devil will suffer!

Just as he was washing his hands, another person walked in. Looking at the other person's figure, Sobolev was very excited: "Friends from the East, I have carefully considered and decided to agree to your invitation. Please send me your invitation immediately." I’ll take it away!”

 Being arrested by those people, he didn't know what was waiting for him. Severe torture and beatings were very common here, and he was already afraid.

“Okay, our transport plane will take off tonight, but we have to force you to get into the cabin of the transport plane.”

 “No problem! And those people who just spoke to you, please come with them!”

 That evening, the transport plane took off from Samara Airport and flew east.

On the runway of the 172 factory, a large group of people stood there, welcoming the transport plane that had just landed.

"Mr. Qin, you are finally back!" Mr. Chen from the 603 Institute was the first to greet him: "Everyone is worried this time, for fear that something unexpected might happen to you there."

"What accident can happen to me? If anyone dares to go against me, our Mingzhou Group will cut off all business dealings with Lao Maozi." Qin Tao said: "Especially our oil pipeline, which will not be laid!"

  “Da Mao’s crude oil is mainly exported to Europe.” Someone said rudely.

“Hmm, those pipelines are bound to leak and have to be shut down.”

　　Everyone was shocked when they heard Qin Tao's words, which angered Mr. Qin, and the consequences were very serious.

At this moment, everyone else on the transport plane also came down. When he saw a group of old men, Mr. Jiang from Factory 430 asked: "Mr. Qin, these people are Kuznetsov An expert from the design bureau?”

"Yes, they are all aerospace engine experts. We also hired a group of aerospace engine experts, and those experts directly chartered a flight to Starship Company."

Sobolev’s feet stepped on the earth in the east. It was already the season when the willow wind was blowing, and the climate was much more comfortable than the climate there.

At this time, Sobolev was still a little confused. He vaguely felt that it was a bit hasty to come here like this, but since he was already here, he had nothing to say.

“This is Mr. Sobolev, he is the chief designer of the Nk-32 engine.” When they heard Qin Tao’s introduction, everyone present opened their eyes wide. Isn’t Mr. Qin too awesome? Have you hired the chief designer?

This shows how unpopular the Kuznetsov Design Bureau is. The chief designers of other design bureaus are all in high positions and have bodyguards when they go out. What about the Kuznetsov Design Bureau? No one even paid attention to the disappearance of the chief designer.

“Mr. Sobolev, welcome to the East.” Mr. Jiang quickly extended his hand.

“When I came here, I didn’t know what I could do to help. I heard that you are developing engines for large aircraft?” Sobolev asked.

“Yes, our turbofan-16 project is about to be launched, and you will become our chief designer of this project.”

 Whipfan-16? Hearing this statement, everyone present was very curious. What engine is a turbofan-16?

In recent years, many turbofan engine projects have been launched. Turbofan 9 is an imitation of the Spey, Turbofan 10 is a self-developed third-generation push, Turbofan 11 is an engine for training aircraft, and Turbofan 12 is an imitation of the F404. Turbofan 13 is an imitation of the Xiaolong engine. Turbofan 14 is a plan to add an external duct to the turbojet 14 engine. Turbofan 15 is R79. What is turbofan 16? ?

  Could it be an imitation of the NK-32 engine?

Mr. Qin’s mission this time is to obtain information about the Nk-32, so that it will be easier to launch the imitation mission! Have you already obtained the information?

　　After hearing about Mr. Qin’s experience there, they thought their plan was ruined!

 Thinking of this project, Mr. Jiang’s eyes immediately filled with stars.

"Everyone has worked hard all the way. Let's go back and rest first. We will hold a formal meeting tomorrow." Qin Tao made the next arrangements. When Damao's guests were taken away to rest, Mr. Jiang asked cautiously: "Mr. Qin, have you got the information?" Got it?"

“Not sure yet. After all, we just brought the hard drive back. It’s not clear whether it contains the data we need.”

 Did you bring the hard drive back?

Everyone was surprised: "Mr. Qin, didn't Damao send some Alpha troops to deal with hard drives?"

"The plank road was repaired secretly in Chencang." Qin Tao said: "By the way, we have to ask the relevant leaders to come. This time the imitation work will be placed in the 430 factory. However, even if we get the drawings and have technical personnel , if there is no relevant craftsmanship, it will also take a long time, so you must be mentally prepared."

Mr. Jiang was excited for a while: "No problem! Lao Maozi's technology is not strong. What they are strong in is their comprehensive ability. We are already better than Lao Maozi in some processes of engine materials. For this imitation task, we It will definitely not fall off the chain.”

 Qin Tao only said one sentence and covered up the whole process. Xu Zhengyang on the side was very emotional. Mr. Qin's skill was very beautiful.

Updating the computers was part of the cost of dispatching the designers of the Kuznetsov Design Bureau. Mingzhou Group helped them update the computer system and collect the old computers. The whole process went smoothly, but it also attracted the attention of some people. Thinking that Qin Tao wanted to obtain the technical information in the old computer.

This is of course for sure. Qin Tao really wants to get those materials, but if he takes away the hard drive of the old computer directly, of course he will be in big trouble.

  The old hard drive must be kept, but the new computer must be debugged. During the process of debugging the system, it is not difficult to copy all the data through the backdoor of the new computer system.

Mingzhou Group started very quickly, fully updating it in a day or two, and the Kuznetsov Design Bureau is not a famous unit. Except for their NK-32 engine, which is of some value, almost everything else is It's useless, so Da Mao's security department didn't pay enough attention to it. Even if someone was watching, they didn't expect the backdoor that comes with the computer system.

 Of course, this is a secret, a secret that can never be revealed.

 Any computer system, mobile phone system, etc., as long as it is not your own, you will never be able to avoid being left with a backdoor by others.

Relevant personnel were working quickly and efficiently, and that night, good news came.

  Nk-22, Nk-32, Nk-33, and even the modified Nk-43, so much information has been found!

Most of them are materials, and a few of them come with production techniques!

 With this information, their copying time can be shortened by at least five years!
