Chapter 1440 Stealing Samples

Chapter 1441 Stealing Samples
Just as things were stabilizing within the alliance, the monitoring system for the native mineral energy storage chamber issued a sharp alarm.

Kova rushed into the command tent with the testing equipment in his hand, his dark face full of anxiety.

"President Qin, the 10-kilogram sample of high-purity blue crystal is missing! Last night, only the temporary worker Zaid went near the energy storage chamber; he said he was cleaning dust!"

When Qin Hao and Ailiya arrived at the entrance of the energy storage chamber, the tribal overseer Mba was holding Zaid's arm. Zaid was clutching a sealed bag in his hand, and the blue crystal inside was emitting a dim light, which was out of place with the surrounding 98% pure blue crystal.

"It was Old John's foundation that gave me $10! To let me steal samples and replicate energy storage devices!"

Zaid struggled, his voice trembling.

"They said that after they made a copy, they would make me their agent for the African region!"

Arya took the sealed bag and immediately brought it back to the lab.

Half an hour later, she came out with the test report, her brows furrowed.

"This is fake. It's only 70% pure and contains radioactive material. Old John is trying to contaminate our samples and delay the mass production of energy storage devices."

Qin Hao took a picture of the report and sent it to Interpol Commissioner Cohen.

"Old John's men are sending fake samples to European laboratories to fabricate data showing excessive radiation levels. You must send someone to intercept them immediately."

Cohen's reply came quickly.

"We have already arranged for people to intercept them at Frankfurt Airport to ensure that the fake data does not leak out."

Karu arrived at that moment, clutching Zaid's employment documents in his hand, his face full of guilt.

“It’s my fault for not checking his background properly. He used to work at the Hellfire camp! I’ll send 20 more tribesmen to guard the energy storage chamber 24 hours a day and report back every hour.”

"Don't feel guilty."

Qin Hao patted him on the shoulder.

“Your tribes should all participate in the production of energy storage equipment. Each unit will generate 5% of the profit, which is more profitable than simply mining blue crystals. Your tribesmen can also learn the technology.”

Karu's eyes lit up and he immediately nodded: "I'll bring my people here tomorrow to learn how to assemble it!"

The atmosphere at the hearing held by the European New Energy Regulatory Authority was tense.

Old John's foundation representative pushed a thick test report and placed it heavily on the table.

"These are the radiation data from Blue Crystal energy storage equipment, which far exceed the safety threshold of 0.3 Sv/h. We recommend that the regulatory authority terminate all related cooperation!"

Reporters' flashes immediately fell on Sofia, who was dressed in a smart black suit but could not hide her panic.

"This data is fabricated! We conducted field tests in German villages."

"Was there third-party witnessing for the on-site testing?"

The foundation representative interrupted her.

"Or is it just data from your league's own side of the story?"

Berg slowly began, “Ms. Sophia, if the data is accurate, we will have to terminate next year’s order for 5 units. Customers will not accept products with radiation risks.”

Sofia's forehead was beaded with sweat when her phone vibrated. It was a file package from Qin Hao containing the complete record of the 1995 experiment, a recording of Zaid's confession, a comparative test report of real and fake blue crystal samples, and photos of the foundation's insignia on the anti-government armed forces.

"Commissioner Cohen!"

Sofia suddenly raised her hand, her voice clear and bright.

"I have evidence that this report is a forgery!"

Cohen took the documents and displayed them one by one on the big screen.

"The lab that produced this fake data was anonymously funded by John last year. We also intercepted their vehicle transporting fake blue crystal samples; the blue crystals inside were exactly the same as the ones Zaid stole."

He paused, then pulled up a video.

"This is a field test in a Bavarian village in Germany. Ten energy storage devices were running for a month, and the radiation level remained stable at 0.1 Sv/h. The villagers' satisfaction rate was 100%."

After watching the video, Berg immediately stood up.

"We will continue to cooperate with the alliance, and we will add another 3 units to our orders next year!"

The other representatives echoed their sentiments, while the foundation representative, pale-faced, grabbed the report and fled in a disheveled state.

After the meeting, Sophia received an anonymous phone call from old John, whose tone was frantic.

"Even if I lose, I will blow up the energy storage chamber of the original mine! So you will never get the blue crystal core!"

Sofia immediately called Qin Hao, who had just arranged for Ali to add three layers of alloy mesh around the energy storage chamber when he received a message from Interpol.

“Old John was arrested in Zurich, and Mr. Lin Zhendong has frozen all of his accounts in Europe, and his foundation has also been seized.”

A month later, the energy storage chamber of the primary ore was bustling with activity.

Karoo's people are loading 98% pure blue crystals into production equipment, Van der Sar's South African workers are assembling the casings of energy storage devices, and Amo's copper mine profits have been exchanged for ten new trucks that travel between feeder lines and European ports.

Pang Wanshan's repaired South African branch line added five Blue Crystal security checkpoints, where Zulu tribal armed personnel and Alliance security patrol together, and the transport loss on the detection equipment has stabilized at 1.1%.

At the victory celebration at the alliance headquarters, Cohen raised his glass and announced to the room full of people.

"Blue Crystal Energy, a member of the Clean Mining Alliance, has been officially listed by the International Energy Agency as a global clean energy benchmark. Next year, 10 countries will introduce your energy storage equipment."

Sofia smiled and handed over an order form.

“Three European companies have just signed an order for 10 units for next year, and have also recommended customers in the Middle East who want to install Blue Crystal Energy Stations in desert villages.”

Qin Hao looked at everyone and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

"We plan to build 20 Blue Crystal Energy Stations in Black Africa within three years, enabling 500 villages to use clean energy. In addition, the case of John the Elder has been transferred to the International Court of Justice, and the families of the victims of the 1995 experiment will testify in court."

After the celebration party, Ailiya led Qin Hao to the entrance of the energy storage chamber, where a detector in her hand showed faint energy fluctuations.

"Look, there are unknown fluctuations deep inside the energy storage cavity. It may contain the original core of the blue crystal, which may be as pure as 99%."

Qin Hao gazed into the depths of the dark energy storage chamber, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"We should wait until things stabilize before starting exploration. The mining industry in Black Africa is just beginning to change."

As soon as the sun got angry, Ryan led the exploration team, carrying equipment, into the depths of the energy storage chamber.

The energy fluctuation bar on the detector screen climbed steadily, and when it reached a depth of 500 meters, the instrument suddenly emitted a sharp alarm.

The radiation level jumped from 0.5 Sv/h to 3.2 Sv/h, the screen went black instantly, and a buzzing electrical sound came from the device.

"Turn off the power immediately!"

Ryan abruptly unplugged the power cord, and as his fingers touched the device's casing, they were suddenly sucked in.

The outer shell was magnetized by a strong magnetic field and covered with a layer of fine blue crystal powder.

He pulled his hand back forcefully, watching the powder gather into a small ball in his palm.

"The magnetic field strength is three times higher than expected; ordinary equipment can't withstand it." When the news reached the tribe's tent, the elder Mbe was looking through the experimental log from 1995. Upon hearing about the soaring radiation, he immediately slammed his hand on the stone table and stood up.

"I told you we couldn't go any further! Radiation killed Karu's uncle back then, and now we're risking the lives of our people again?"

Several older members of the tribe nodded in agreement, but Kova, gripping his pickaxe, objected.

"Mr. Qin used copper ore powder to reduce radiation from 2.5 Sv/h to 0.4 Sv/h last time, he must have a way this time too! Our tribe has made money from blue crystals, we can't give up halfway!"

Caught in the middle, Karu frowned deeply, but ultimately went to find Qin Hao.

“Mr. Qin, if you cannot prove that the radiation is safe, we will have to suspend the exploration.”

Qin Hao had just finished reading the equipment test report sent by Ryan when Ailiya came over with the improvement plan.

"Magnetic fields are a characteristic of the original core, and ordinary detector alloys cannot withstand them. We coat the outer shell with a layer of copper ore powder mixed with an antimagnetic alloy, which can both neutralize radiation and prevent magnetization."

The two arrived at the entrance of the energy storage chamber with the modified detector, and Karu and Mbe followed along to test it.

When the detector penetrated to a depth of 300 meters, the screen displayed a radiation value of 0.5 Sv/h, the magnetic field interference disappeared, and the energy fluctuation bar stabilized in the medium range.

Mbe touched the outer casing of the instrument, looked at the numbers on the detector, and finally relented.

"This stuff really works, let's explore it some more."

Ryan stared at the layered curves on the screen and suddenly spoke.

"There are three layers of energy reaction in the core area, which should be the original core surrounded by a blue crystal shell."

Mbe paused for a moment, then suddenly said, "The 1995 log mentioned that the blue crystal was layered. The old miner said that there was a glowing stone in the innermost layer, which might be the original core."

In the conference room at the alliance headquarters, as soon as Sofia's video call connected, Karim, a Middle Eastern client, appeared on the screen.

Behind him was a vast desert, and in his hand he held up a model of an energy storage device.

“Mr. Qin, we need 1000 sand-resistant energy storage devices that can withstand temperatures of 50°C and must be delivered within one month. The desert villages are waiting for electricity.”

Aria immediately looked up the equipment parameters.

"The sand-proof shell can be modified, but it requires special parts. The South African factory currently only has enough stock to produce 500 units."

Pang Wanshan's video suddenly cut in, his face showing anxiety.

"European orders and Middle Eastern demand are coming together, causing a 3-hour daily congestion on the East African feeder line. Copper ore and blue crystal shipments are delayed, and oxidation losses have increased from 1.1% to 1.8%!"

Amo sighed.

“My 500 tons of copper ore are stuck at the transfer station. I can’t get it to the smelter, and I can’t get the sand-proof parts. Van der Sar’s factory will have to shut down!”

Qin Hao tapped the table and glanced at everyone.

“Amo, trade 500 tons of copper ore for sand-proof parts for the Congolese machinery factory. Pang Wanshan, open a special Middle East route and prioritize the shipment of parts. Van der Sar, have the factory work overtime, and use the Alliance’s emergency funds to purchase the missing parts.”

Van der Sar nods in the workshop of a factory in South Africa.

"No problem, I'll arrange for the workers to work in two shifts right now."

Seeing this, Karim added with a smile, "As long as the equipment meets the standards, I will place an additional long-term order for 5000 units."

After testing the prototype of the sand-proof equipment, Aria frowned.

"At a high temperature of 50℃, the energy storage efficiency drops by 10%, so we have to use high-purity blue crystals from the original core to improve performance."

Qin Hao looked in the direction of the energy storage cavity.

"Speed ​​up exploration and strive to obtain the original core within a week."

Inside Alibaba's security center, the surveillance screen suddenly froze.

Herman, a remnant of the Old John Foundation, was making a deal with a black marketeer, the USB drive he was handing over gleaming.

"Boss, they're at the coordinates of the trading core!"

Ali immediately led his team to the scene. When they intercepted the USB drive, they discovered that it contained not only coordinates but also weaponized data of the blue crystal that Old John had hidden.

In the Interpol interrogation room, Herman was questioned until he lost his confidence.

"The foundation has three outposts on the outskirts of the primary mine, where 10 black market armed men are hiding, waiting to infiltrate when the exploration team is not paying attention."

Ali led the hyena commando team to investigate and found a stronghold near the Zulu tribe, which was filled with night vision goggles and explosive devices.

"These people want to blow up the entrance to the energy storage chamber!"

Ali had just finished speaking when he received a message from Nkosi.

"Scarface, the black market boss, has infiltrated the outskirts of the primary mine with armed men!"

As the two sides exchanged fire at the edge of the mine, Scarface suddenly threw out an explosive device, and the Nkosi people quickly took cover.

Taking advantage of the moment, Ali raised the tranquilizer gun and shot Scarface in the shoulder, and the team rushed in and subdued him.

The coordinate map retrieved from Scarface shows that: the energy pulse of the original core is weakest at 4 a.m. every day, which is suitable for mining.

Cohen then sent a message.

“Old John’s data on the weaponization of blue crystals has been destroyed, and the black market outposts have been mostly cleared out. You can explore with peace of mind.”

At 3:30 a.m., the exploration team entered the energy storage chamber with the improved drill bit.

The drill bit alloy is a mixture of copper ore powder and lead blocks, based on experimental experience provided by veteran miner Cam in 1995.

When the drill bit touched the first layer of ore, the machine did not freeze as before, but instead drilled in smoothly.

"We've broken through the first layer!"

Ryan stared at the screen, his voice trembling.

As they drilled down to the third layer of the ore, just as the sky was beginning to lighten, the drill bit suddenly made a thud.

It penetrated.

The team members carefully removed the drill bit, which contained a fist-sized crystal that shimmered with a pale blue fluorescence under the light.

When Ailiya touched it with the detector, the screen displayed: 99.1% purity, no radiation leakage, and energy storage efficiency is 5 times that of ordinary blue crystal.
