Ye Ling abruptly withdrew her hand, her face solemn. "This batch of materials cannot be used!"
Duan Yu also noticed something strange, his brows furrowed slightly. "What's wrong?" Ye Ling pointed to the subtle lines on the surface of the material and explained, "Look, the texture of this material should be as smooth as water waves, but these are like crumpled paper, with a very strong grainy feel. And, if you smell it, there's a faint smell of burning."
Duan Yu leaned in closer and smelled something strange.
His face darkened and he immediately contacted materials expert Tyrone.
Tyrone rushed to the scene and after a careful inspection, his face turned grim. "This batch of materials has been tampered with! The internal structure has been damaged. If used, the entire building structure will collapse!"
There was an uproar at the scene. Lucian's face turned pale and he roared, "Who did this?!"
The air seemed to freeze, and everyone's eyes were focused on Ye Ling.
After all, she was the first to discover the problem.
Ye Ling felt the questioning gazes of the crowd, and anger welled up in her heart, but she suppressed her emotions and analyzed calmly: "This method is very covert. If it weren't for someone who is very familiar with the materials, it would be impossible to discover it. Moreover, those who have access to this batch of materials..."
Ye Ling's gaze swept across everyone and finally stopped on Wayne.
Wayne's face was pale at this moment, his eyes flickered, and he didn't dare to look Ye Ling in the eye.
Ye Ling sneered in her heart, it seemed that she was right.
"Ye Ling, what do you mean?" Wei En pretended to be calm and asked, "Are you doubting me?"
Ye Ling didn't answer directly. Instead, she turned to Duan Yu and said, "Duan Yu, seal off the scene immediately. No one is allowed to enter or leave. Then, retrieve the surveillance footage to see who has had access to these materials."
Duan Yu nodded and made arrangements immediately.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the atmosphere was suffocatingly tense.
Lucian paced back and forth anxiously, glancing at Ye Ling from time to time: "Ye Ling, are you sure these materials can't be used? If we can't finish the project on time, the consequences will be disastrous!"
Ye Ling took a deep breath and said firmly, "I'm sure! If we use this batch of materials, the entire building will collapse like tofu dregs! All our previous efforts will be in vain, and it may even endanger the relationship between alien races and humans!"
At this moment, Duan Yu came back with a gloomy expression: "The surveillance video shows that Wei En sneaked into the material warehouse last night..."
Everyone's eyes were once again focused on Wayne.
Wayne's face was pale, his lips were trembling, but he couldn't say a word.
Ye Ling looked at Wayne
but……
Ye Ling took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "Wei En, you..."
Ye Ling paused, a meaningful smile appearing on the corner of her mouth.
"Wayne, you've worked hard. It seems you've really put a lot of effort into delaying the construction period." Wayne's face was pale, his lips trembling, but he couldn't make a sound.
Everyone was shocked, unable to believe that the usually weak Wayne would do such a thing.
Ye Ling ignored Wayne and walked to the pile of "waste" and took out the ancient mecha core that she had always kept close to her.
The core emitted a faint blue light, and a powerful energy wave instantly swept across the entire venue.
"Oh my god! What the hell? Such a strong energy fluctuation!" someone exclaimed.
Even Duan Yu, who was always calm, opened his eyes slightly.
Lucian's eyes widened even more. He grabbed Ye Ling's hand and said, "Ye Ling, you...you are..." Ye Ling smiled slightly and said confidently, "Engineer Lu, don't worry, I have a plan." She placed the core of the mecha on top of the material, activated the core, and blue light instantly enveloped all the materials.
"Zizizizi..." After a burst of electric sound, a fresh metallic fragrance emanated from the air that was originally filled with burnt smell.
Everyone was stunned to see that the texture of the "waste" returned to its original state at a speed visible to the naked eye. The originally rough surface became as smooth as a mirror, and the burnt smell disappeared completely.
Tai Long rubbed his eyes in disbelief and rushed forward to take a closer look, babbling incoherently with excitement: "This...this...this is simply a miracle! Not only has the material's performance been fully restored, it's even better than before! This...how is this possible?!"
Ye Ling took back the mecha core and shrugged, "It's no big deal, basic operations, no 6." Weien was completely dumbfounded. The conspiracy she carefully planned was easily resolved by Ye Ling.
She slumped on the ground, her eyes empty and filled with remorse.
The ruins reconstruction project was completed perfectly, and Ye Ling's feat of using the ancient mecha core repair materials became an interstellar legend.
She became famous overnight and became the object of admiration of countless people.
Lucian personally held a grand celebration for her. At the party, he excitedly shook Ye Ling's hand, tears streaming down his face. "Ye Ling, you are truly our savior! You saved the entire project, and you saved us too!"
Vayne was expelled from the project team. Her despicable behavior was despised by everyone and became a laughing stock in the interstellar world.
At the celebration banquet, there was constant drinking and laughter.
Ye Ling stood in the center of the crowd, enjoying the treatment of being the center of attention.
Duan Yu walked up to her and looked at her affectionately, his eyes full of pride and love.
He gently held her hand and whispered in her ear: "Ye Ling, you are awesome..."
He paused, looked around, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "Everyone..."
Duan Yu raised his glass, looked around at everyone, and a charming smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Today, in addition to celebrating the successful reconstruction of the ruins, I also want to announce another important thing!" The scene suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on Duan Yu.
