Courtyard Houses: From Families of Martyrs and Orphans to Giants of the Times

Inside the office of the Hongxing Repair Station.

The air suddenly became quiet.

Lin Jian'an looked down at the documents in his hand.

There was no change in his face.

But my heart was already in turmoil.

Deliberate sabotage?

This is no ordinary malfunction.

If it's just equipment aging, installation errors, or damaged parts, then those are all technical issues.

But once it involves human sabotage...

The nature of it is completely different.

This is especially true of the Tianjin Third Machinery Factory.

The new equipment introduced by this large machinery factory is related to production tasks.

Who would dare to tamper with this equipment?

Thinking about this...

Lin Jian'an didn't rush to say it.

The system's secrets must not be exposed.

Besides, this is only the scan result so far.

It still needs to be verified personally.

The middle-aged man opposite looked anxious.

"Director Lin."

"Is there any way to save this machine?"

"The factory has been shut down for three days."

"If this drags on any longer, our factory manager is going crazy with worry."

The technicians next to him also looked on with anticipation.

The reputation of Hongxing Repair Station has now spread.

Especially after the last incident involving the military region's communication equipment.

Many factories regarded Lin Jian'an as their technical savior.

Lin Jian'an closed the documents.

Where is the equipment now?

"Tianjin Factory Area"

"It hasn't been demolished?"

"no."

"No one dares to make a move."

Lin Jian'an nodded.

"That's good."

"We're leaving tomorrow."

The voice just fell.

The technicians from Tianjin immediately became excited.

"Very good!"

"With Director Lin involved, there's hope this time!"

"The factory manager will be overjoyed when he finds out!"

The stick-shaped dog next to him had its eyes shining.

"Master, I'm going too!"

Lin Jian'an glanced at him.

"What are you going to do?"

Banggeng chuckled.

"I've learned something new."

"Besides, repair shops aren't that busy these days."

"I'll help you with the work."

Zhou Zhenhua, who was standing next to him, also said with a smile:

"Let him go."

"This kid has almost mastered the basics."

"It would be good for him to go out and see the equipment of the big factories."

Gu Mingyuan nodded.

"That's right."

"You can't learn about real large-scale industrial equipment if you just stay in the repair shop all the time."

Lin Jian'an thought for a moment.

Finally, he nodded.

"OK."

"Then you come along."

"But when you get there, talk less and observe more."

Banggeng immediately stood up straight.

"Mission accomplished!"

The room immediately erupted in laughter.

Early the next morning.

The military green jeep slowly drove out of Beijing.

Lin Jian'an, Bang Geng, and several people sent by the Jinmen Factory were sitting in the car.

The journey was bumpy.

Until the afternoon.

The group then arrived at the Tianjin Third Machinery Factory.

Looking from afar.

A huge factory area came into view.

Chimneys stand tall.

Factory buildings are scattered throughout the area.

Its scale alone is dozens of times larger than that of the Hongxing Repair Station.

Banggeng was so engrossed in watching it that he swallowed hard.

"My God."

"How many workers would that require?"

The technician next to him laughed:

"The factory has more than 3,000 employees."

"At its peak, it approached five thousand."

Banggeng was instantly dumbfounded.

The Hongxing Repair Station now has fewer than twenty employees.

Compared to this place...

It's practically a small workshop.

But Lin Jian'an didn't react much.

Because he knew.

The scale of my future Red Star Machinery Factory will definitely not be smaller than this place.

Even larger.

Just entered the factory area.

Then a group of people who looked like leaders came out to greet them.

The person at the front was a middle-aged man with a square face.

He walks with a brisk and powerful stride.

"Director Lin!"

"Welcome, welcome!"

"We've been waiting for you!"

The visitor was the director of the Tianjin Third Machinery Factory.

Li Guofeng.

The two shook hands briefly.

After exchanging a few pleasantries...

Li Guofeng immediately got to the point.

"Director Lin."

"The equipment is in the workshop."

"Would you like to take a look first?"

Lin Jian'an nodded.

"Let's go."

soon.

The group arrived at the core production workshop of the factory.

I just went in.

A strong smell of engine oil wafted over.

In the center of the workshop.

A huge imported piece of equipment was placed there.

It is as tall as two stories.

Various lines and pipelines crisscross the area.

It looks extremely complicated.

Bang Geng was stunned on the spot.

"Is this thing a machine?"

"It looks like a tank."

The workers nearby all laughed.

Li Guofeng, however, could not laugh.

Because this machine has been shut down for three whole days.

One day off.

The factory lost a large number of production tasks.

Lin Jian'an stepped forward.

System scan starts immediately.

[Device scanning in progress...]

[Testing in progress...]

[Test Completed]

next second.

A flood of data rushed into my mind.

Lin Jian'an's eyes narrowed slightly.

really.

The system's judgment is correct.

This is not a normal malfunction.

Because the equipment itself was not seriously damaged.

The real problem.

The problem lies in the control system.

To be precise.

Someone deliberately adjusted the key parameters.

This causes the equipment to automatically enter a protection state after it starts running.

This method is very covert.

Most people wouldn't even notice it.

And most importantly.

People who are able to do this.

Absolutely tech-savvy.

Thinking about this...

Lin Jian'an suddenly asked:

Who was responsible for installing the equipment?

The voice just fell.

The atmosphere at the scene changed slightly.

The engineers exchanged glances.

The last tall, thin man stepped forward.

"it's me."

"Equipment installation team leader".

"Wang Zhiyuan".

Lin Jian'an glanced at him.

He didn't speak.

The system had already started scanning automatically.

[Target Person: Wang Zhiyuan]

[Mechanical Technology Level: 72]

Current emotion: Nervous

[Probability of anomaly: 67%]

I saw the notification.

Lin Jian'an's heart skipped a beat.

nervous?

Why are you nervous?

If the equipment malfunction is not his fault.

What is he nervous about?

Li Guofeng clearly didn't notice any of this.

Hastily said:

"Engineer Wang is a senior technician in the factory."

"He has always been in charge of the installation."

Lin Jian'an nodded.

Then the equipment was inspected.

After half an hour.

He has basically made up his mind.

Someone changed the parameters.

And it was intentional.

Just then.

The system suddenly popped up another notification.

Hidden traces discovered

[Equipment control records show signs of being manually deleted.]

boom!

Lin Jian'an was startled.

Delete record?

This is no longer a mistake.

This is a deliberate attempt to cover up evidence.

Things are getting more interesting.

evening.

The factory arranged for them to rest at a guesthouse.

in the room.

Bang Geng finally couldn't help but speak up.

"master."

"Have you discovered something?"

Lin Jian'an glanced at him.

"Why do you ask that?"

Banggeng chuckled:

"I've been with you for so long."

"You always make that face."

There's definitely something wrong.

Lin Jianan almost burst out laughing.

This kid's observation skills are getting better and better.

I thought about it.

He still said:

"Equipment malfunction is not an accident."

Banggeng's eyes widened instantly.

"Is someone really up to something?"

Lin Jian'an nodded.

"And he's someone who understands technology."

Banggeng immediately perked up.

"Shall we arrest him?"

Lin Jian'an smiled.

"Arresting people is the job of the police."

"We'll take care of finding the evidence."

Done.

He began to quickly organize his thoughts in his mind.

If it's just about repairing machines.

It could actually be fixed today.

But the mission rewards are so high.

It's obviously not that simple.

The system cannot issue a warning of human sabotage without a reason.

This indicates that there is a hidden plot to follow.

Just then.

Suddenly, footsteps could be heard outside.

dong dong dong.

A knock came at the door.

"Director Lin."

"Are you asleep?"

Li Guofeng's voice came from outside the door.

Lin Jian'an opened the door.

They discovered that the factory manager had actually come in person.

And his complexion looked rather unpleasant.

"Director Li?"

Li Guofeng entered the house.

Close the door.

He lowered his voice and said:

"Director Lin."

"I want to ask you a question that is honest with me."

Is the equipment malfunction actually a technical problem?

Lin Jian'an looked at him.

There was no immediate response.

Li Guofeng gave a wry smile.

"Looks like I guessed right."

"There was definitely a problem."

Lin Jian'an's heart stirred slightly.

"Do you know something?"

Li Guofeng remained silent for a few seconds.

Then he sighed.

"The last six months."

"Things have never been peaceful at the factory."

"First, the technical data was lost."

"Then the warehouse parts were inexplicably damaged."

"Now it's the new equipment's turn to have problems."

"I suspect there's a mole inside the factory."

The words fell.

Lin Jian'an's eyes sharpened instantly.

It turned out to be the case.

No wonder the system gave a warning about human sabotage.

It seems this is not an isolated incident.

Rather, it is a series of events.

Someone has been causing trouble.

Li Guofeng continued:

"But we haven't been able to find any evidence."

"Every incident is handled very cleanly."

"I even had my doubts about the security department."

"But no matter how much we searched, we couldn't find anything."

Lin Jian'an nodded slowly.

I've already made up my mind.

This person is very smart.

Moreover, the technical level is not low.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to do it so discreetly every time.

Just then.

The system notification sounded again.

[Rank A Mission Upgrade]

[A series of acts of sabotage discovered]

[Task Change]

Find the mastermind behind this.

[Increased Task Rewards]

[Reward: A complete set of advanced CNC technology drawings]

[12000 points]

[Construction progress of Hongxing Machinery Plant +15%]

See the reward.

Lin Jian'an's breathing quickened.

Advanced CNC technology!

This is already considered a core technology for future industry.

We must take it!

Thinking about this...

He looked at Li Guofeng.

"Director Li."

"I'll be fixing the equipment tomorrow morning."

"afternoon."

"I'll help you find this person."

boom!

Li Guofeng suddenly stood up.

His face was filled with shock.

"real?"

"You already know who it is?"

Lin Jian'an smiled.

"It's not certain yet."

"But it will be soon."

at the same time.

In another building of the guesthouse.

A tall, thin figure was standing by the window.

He stared intently at the room where Lin Jian'an was.

under the moonlight.

That face was none other than the installation team leader.

Wang Zhiyuan.

now.

His eyes were filled with gloom.

Damn it.

"Why did we invite this guy?"

"Lin Jian'an of Hongxing Repair Station..."

"It seems things are getting complicated."

Done.

He slowly took a key out of his pocket.

My gaze fell upon the equipment workshop in the distance.

A sinister smile appeared on his face.

"Since you're here..."

"Then I'll make sure you can't find anything."

Done.

He turned and disappeared into the darkness.

On the other side...

A system alarm suddenly sounded in Lin Jian'an's mind.

【warn! 】

[Abnormal behavior detected in the target]

The target is approaching the equipment workshop.

[Probability of evidence destruction: 92%]

Lin Jian'an suddenly opened his eyes.

A slow smile crept onto his lips.

"Finally couldn't sit still anymore?"

next second.

He stood up straight out of bed.
