Chapter 48 – Probing 试探

Lin Yuan sat in the classroom of the Logistics Department, with a pile of complex mecha part drawings in front of him. He wasn't particularly focused, and his spiritual power spread out from time to time, sensing his surroundings. Suddenly, his gaze landed on a parts list. It was the key parts configuration of a spare mecha, but one marked part was completely inconsistent with the specifications.

"This part is not right," Lin Yuan frowned and muttered softly.

"Lin Yuan! What are you up to?" The lecturer looked up, saw Lin Yuan spacing out, and snapped, "You're here to learn. Pay attention!"

Lin Yuan scratched his head awkwardly, but the doubt in his heart lingered. He remembered the list number and the corresponding mecha model, planning to look into it in detail after class.

After class, Lin Yuan immediately slipped into the mecha storage warehouse of the Logistics Department. He carefully approached the corresponding spare mecha and sensed the details inside the parts. Sure enough, he found something amiss. The material and design of a certain core part had subtle changes. If the mecha started up, these changes could easily lead to an energy imbalance or even make it self-destruct!

"This is definitely not an ordinary mistake," A bold guess popped into Lin Yuan's mind. This might be a sabotage method deliberately carried out by an insect race spy!

Lin Yuan took the doubts he had discovered to Li Xingchen and reported the matter to her in detail. After hearing this, Li Xingchen's face darkened slightly.

"Are you sure you're not overthinking it?" Li Xingchen's tone was calm, but her gaze was extremely sharp.

"I'm very sure," Lin Yuan replied firmly. "These changes are too subtle for most to notice, but they could wreck the whole mecha. It's no ordinary mistake."

Li Xingchen stared at Lin Yuan for a few seconds, then slowly said, "Lin Yuan, I hate people who are false. Sincerity is the most important thing. Since you're so insistent, I'll ask the technical team to find out the truth. However..." Her tone changed, becoming a bit colder. "If this is just your speculation, you know what the consequences will be."

Lin Yuan nodded. "If it's my fault, I'm willing to accept any punishment."

Li Xingchen didn't say anything more and turned to leave. Lin Yuan stared at her back. He felt both nervous and a bit relieved. At least she'd lend a hand.

The following investigation quickly yielded results. Li Xingchen personally led the technical team to disassemble the spare mecha and found that not only had the core part been tampered with, but several secondary parts had also been deliberately adjusted. These adjustments seemed insignificant, but if they all took effect at once, the entire Logistics Department might be blown up!

Li Xingchen's face turned pale with anger. She immediately ordered a full probe into the parts supply chain and started an internal investigation.

======================

林远坐在后勤部的教室里,面前摆着一堆复杂的机甲零件图纸.他并不算特别专注,精神力时不时地散开,感知着周围.突然,他的目光停在了一份零件清单上.这是一台备用机甲的关键零件配置,但有一个标记的零件与规格完全不符.

"这零件不对劲啊..." 林远皱起眉,低声嘀咕.

"林远!你在做什么?" 讲师抬头瞥见林远分神,语气不善,"你是来上课的,专注一点!"

林远尴尬地挠了挠头,但心里那份疑惑挥之不去.他记住了那份清单的编号和对应的机甲型号,打算课后再细查.

下课后,林远立即溜进了后勤部的机甲储备库.他小心翼翼地靠近那台对应的备用机甲,感知着零件内部的细节.果然,他发现了不对劲的地方,某个核心零件的材质和设计竟然有细微的改动,如果机甲启动,这改动极有可能导致能源失衡,甚至自爆!

"这绝对不是一般的失误..." 林远脑海中冒出一个大胆的猜测,这或许是虫族内奸刻意为之的破坏手段!

林远带着发现的疑点找到了黎星辰,将事情一五一十地汇报给了她.黎星辰听后,脸色微微沉了下来.

"你确定这不是你多虑了?" 黎星辰语气淡然,但目光却异常锐利.

"我非常确定." 林远坚定地回答,"这些改动太细微了,一般人根本不会注意到,但它的后果却能让整台机甲毁于一旦.这绝对不是普通的疏忽."

黎星辰盯着林远看了几秒钟,然后缓缓开口: "林远,我讨厌虚伪的人.真诚,才是最重要的.既然你这么坚持,我会让技术组查清楚.不过..." 她话锋一转,语气冷了几分, "如果这只是你的臆测,你知道后果是什么."

林远点点头:"如果是我的问题,我愿意接受任何惩罚."

黎星辰没再说什么,转身离去.林远盯着她的背影,心中既是忐忑,又是暗暗欣慰,至少,她会帮忙.

接下来的调查很快有了结果.黎星辰亲自带着技术组拆解了那台备用机甲,发现不仅核心零件被动了手脚,甚至还有几个次要零件上也被刻意调整.这些调整看似微不足道,但如果一起爆发,整个后勤部可能都会被炸毁!

黎星辰脸色铁青,立刻下令彻查零件供应链,并启动内部排查程序.
