The factory director has a new skill every day, which has broken down the strategic deception bureau

Ivan deliberately avoided mentioning military applications and instead offered a plausible civilian explanation, speaking earnestly: "It's like this, our Russian Far East ports, offshore drilling platforms, and ocean-going cargo ships are numerous."

"Constantly exposed to high-salinity seawater corrosion and strong radiation from the sea surface, the equipment and ship's hulls suffer extremely severe rust and wear."

"Moreover, recently, maritime radars from many countries have been frequently scanning and detecting in international waters, and our civilian vessels and offshore operating platforms are often locked, tracked, and inspected without cause."

"Severely impacting normal trade, transportation, and maritime operations."

"Therefore, I want to purchase a batch of special paint that is not only highly rust-resistant and resistant to seawater corrosion, but also preferably has the effect of absorbing waves and avoiding detection by ordinary radar, in order to protect our civilian ships and marine infrastructure."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hongtao was slightly taken aback and sighed inwardly at the coincidence: the anti-rust, corrosion-resistant, wave-absorbing and radar-proof paint that Ivan wanted was the very same Canghai No. 1 that Lin Tian had just successfully developed and that he was about to inspect.

He suppressed his shock and pretended to be embarrassed, saying, "Mr. Ivan, the kind of multi-functional special material you mentioned is extremely rare on the market, while ordinary anti-corrosion paint is everywhere."

"But it's really hard to find something that also has both wave-absorbing and radar-detection-proof functions."

"That's why I came all this way to see you!" Ivan said earnestly and confidently, "Mr. Zhang, you have the widest network and the strongest connections in China's cross-border trade."

"As long as you can help me find a finished product that meets my standards, price is not an issue at all!"

Zhang Hongtao was already waiting for the other party to make an offer, and upon hearing this, he smiled and tentatively asked, "So, Mr. Ivan, what is your price range? That way, I can do my best to help you match the source of goods and ensure quality."

Ivan stated decisively, "As long as the finished product fully meets the performance standards and satisfies the requirements for corrosion resistance, aging resistance, and basic radar stealth, I'll offer five million!"

This price is astronomical to the untrained eye.

But only industry leaders know that compared to genuine military-grade stealth coatings, this expense is extremely worthwhile.

The nano-composite stealth coating used on the US's current F-35 stealth fighter costs as much as 12 million US dollars to apply to a single aircraft.

This amounts to nearly 100 million yuan.

Furthermore, it needs to be repainted after every few flights, making the maintenance costs terrifying.

Even small-scale military stealth coatings for vehicles and ships cost tens of millions of yuan per unit, and the technology is subject to strict embargoes, making them difficult to purchase even with money.

In comparison, Ivan's offer of five million Chinese yuan to purchase a batch of multi-functional stealth anti-corrosion coatings suitable for ships and large facilities is already a very reasonable price with excellent cost performance, and is not expensive at all.

When Zhang Hongtao heard the offer of five million, his eyes widened suddenly, and he was overjoyed, but he remained expressionless.

He knew that the performance of the Canghai-1 far exceeded Ivan's needs, and the profit margin of this offer was enormous.

Therefore, Zhang Hongtao deliberately took preventative measures beforehand, laying out the unpleasant truth upfront to avoid future disputes: "Mr. Ivan, I have received your offer of five million!"

"I can do my best to help you find it, but I must explain in advance that the performance of these special materials on the market varies greatly."

"I can't guarantee 100% that it will achieve your expected results, so as to avoid any misunderstandings later."

Ivan waved his hand dismissively: "I understand! The better the performance and the stronger the stealth and corrosion resistance, the more we can increase the price."

"If the performance does not meet the standards, we will settle the bill based on the actual results."

"Mr. Zhang, I'm leaving this matter to you!"

"Okay... Hey... If that's the case, I actually happen to have a new product that has just been developed."

Zhang Hongtao: "However, I haven't personally verified the specific parameters and actual performance yet. I need to go to the site to test it and see the finished product in person before I can give you a definite answer."

Upon hearing this, Ivan's spirits immediately lifted, his eyes gleaming. He jumped up, his enthusiasm at its peak: "Let's go! I want to go and see for myself!"

Zhang Hongtao was slightly taken aback, not expecting the other party to be in such a hurry, and asked in confusion, "Mr. Ivan, you...you also want to go to the factory area in person?"

"Of course! This is a very important matter, and I must personally inspect the goods and confirm their performance!" Ivan's attitude was resolute, unwilling to wait even a moment longer.

"Okay, alright! Let's set off right away!" Zhang Hongtao nodded in agreement without further hesitation.

A moment later, the black sedan sped out of the Blue Ocean Ocean Group and headed straight for the Zhenxing Industrial and Trade Plant.

soon.

The car came to a smooth stop at the entrance of Zhenxing Industry and Trade Center.

Ivan got out of the car and looked around the factory area in front of him, feeling a strange sense of familiarity.

The factory layout, gate style, and factory environment all seemed familiar, but I couldn't quite place where I had seen them before, leaving me full of doubts.

Zhang Hongtao stepped forward and said to the security guard, "Hello, I made an appointment with your General Manager Lin in advance, and I came here specifically to inspect the goods!"

The security guard quickly and respectfully replied, "Hello, Mr. Zhang. Mr. Lin has already given prior notice. Please come in!"

"Okay, thank you!"

Zhang Hongtao nodded in acknowledgment and led Ivan and his group into the factory area.

As the group walked along the road, they happened to pass by the live-streaming warehouse. The familiar live-streaming background, shelf layout, and equipment arrangement immediately caught Ivan's eye.

Ivan suddenly stopped, his mind went blank, and he instantly realized what was happening!

This is the background of the live stream!

This warehouse!

This factory area!

He initially purchased scarce supplies such as high-end robot dogs, portable drones, high-strength climbing ropes, and flame-retardant and explosion-proof fire extinguishers online under the guise of private trade.

The order was placed right here in this live stream room, right here in this factory area!

All the critical civilian-to-military supplies that helped solve the urgent needs of the front lines came from here!

When Ivan saw this, his mind was in turmoil, and his face was filled with disbelief: My God!

I never expected that I would travel all the way to the factory that was seeking stealth coating technology.

It turns out to be Zhenxing Industry and Trade, which has silently helped our Da Mao countless times before!

The most dramatic part is that the West initially pursued the origins of the virus in order to avoid international military disputes.

Lin Tian proactively cleaned up all suspicious foreign clients, blacklisted and banned their accounts long ago, cutting off their online transaction channels!

After much back and forth, the purchasing customer who had been blacklisted actually showed up at the big boss's doorstep!

Ivan stood there, shocked and embarrassed, his heart filled with mixed feelings, feeling that the world was too strange.

Before they could even savor the moment, the group had already quickly arrived at the office building.

Su Qing was already waiting at the door. Upon seeing this, she immediately stepped forward to lead the way and respectfully reported, "President Lin, President Zhang and his group have arrived."

Upon hearing this, Lin Tian stood up, smiled faintly, and took the initiative to shake hands: "President Zhang, we meet again."

"President Lin, thank you for your hard work!" Zhang Hongtao exclaimed with admiration, his tone full of praise: "I truly admire your research and development speed and technical expertise!"

"To develop a finished product so quickly and complete a full set of rigorous tests has overcome a century-old problem that has plagued the entire ocean shipping industry for many years."

"Looking across the entire country, only you possess such extraordinary abilities!"

Lin Tian smiled and waved his hand humbly: "Hey, it's too early to talk about success now, it's not even a sure thing yet."

"Meeting the data targets doesn't count. We still need to conduct on-site testing and verify the performance to confirm that it fully meets your usage needs before it can be considered truly implemented."

"That makes sense! Then let's go to the testing workshop to inspect the goods right away!" Zhang Hongtao nodded happily.

"Alright, everyone, please follow me."

Lin Tian led Zhang Hongtao, Ivan, and their group straight toward the professional performance testing workshop.

……

Testing workshop.

The entire workshop is kept at a constant temperature and humidity, and is dustproof and sealed. The floor is covered with high-density anti-slip and anti-static flooring, which is spotless and so clean that not a single speck of debris can be seen.

The workshop is divided into four functional modules: material sampling area, corrosion simulation area, radiation aging area, and radar detection area. The zoning is clear, each module has its own function, and the workflow is well-organized and professional.

All around are neatly arranged various top-of-the-line precision testing equipment.

The facility is fully equipped with a range of professional equipment, including a fully automatic salt spray corrosion tester, an ultraviolet electromagnetic radiation aging tester, a multi-band radar wave detector, a seawater high-pressure scouring simulator, and a coating adhesion precision tester.

All of them are top-of-the-line instruments that are designed to meet the standards for military material testing. The screen lights flicker slightly, giving them a high-tech feel.

The walls are covered with various industry testing standards and safety operating procedures, while sample steel plates, coating molds, and precision testing tools are placed in the corners.

The entire setup far exceeds the testing specifications of ordinary private enterprises and is comparable to a regular military materials laboratory.

Zhao Tianming and his professional testing team were already waiting there. Upon seeing Lin Tian and his group arrive, he immediately stepped forward: "President Lin, all equipment is warmed up and we can begin testing at any time!"

Lin Tian: "Mr. Zhang...shall we begin?"

Zhang Hongtao exclaimed with anticipation, "Let's begin! I can't wait!"
