Even more surprisingly, wisps of white steam began to rise from the water tap connected to the side of the stove. Chen Xue took an enamel mug and turned it on, and a gush of boiling hot water flowed out!
Director Qian Xuedong could no longer sit still. He rushed onto the stage, took the two sets of records, and read them aloud in a trembling voice:
"Final test results—Expert team: Furnace outlet temperature 450 degrees Celsius, thermal efficiency 42%! Comrade Su Tang's project team: Furnace outlet temperature 980 degrees Celsius, overall thermal efficiency as high as 85%!"
"Coal consumption comparison—under the condition of producing the same amount of heat, the coal consumption of Comrade Su Tang's project team is only one-quarter of that of the expert group!"
"Additional features—Comrade Su Tang's project team has achieved zero smoke and dust emissions and successfully added a hot water supply system!"
As soon as the data was released, the entire venue fell into a deathly silence, which was then followed by thunderous cheers and applause!
"We won! Team Leader Su won!"
"My God! 85%! And it can even boil water! That's amazing!"
Gao Dongliang's old face turned a deep purplish-red. He staggered to the thermometer, staring intently at the pointer, muttering to himself, "Impossible... This is absolutely impossible... This is not scientific... This completely violates the laws of thermodynamics..."
He looked again at the small, dark stove, his eyes filled with terror and bewilderment, as if it were not a stove, but an incomprehensible monster.
Even without judgment, with everyone present as witnesses, the outcome is already decided.
At this moment, Su Tang's clear eyes were fixed on the young secretary next to Zhou Huai'an, who had been keeping his head down and had a pale face since the beginning.
"I'd like to ask this comrade, why is the special-supply smokeless coal allocated to our project team damper than the ordinary coal the soldiers burn? Why is it mixed with so much coal gangue that can't be lit at all? I remember you were the one in charge of collecting and distributing the competition supplies from the logistics department, right?"
The secretary's body trembled violently, his face turned deathly pale, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but under the sharp, piercing gaze of Deputy Commander Liu, he couldn't utter a single word.
"Speak! Was it you who did this?!" Deputy Commander Liu slammed his fist on the table and roared.
The secretary's legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground with a thud, stammering, "No...it wasn't me...it was Political Commissar Zhou...Political Commissar Zhou told me to do it..."
As soon as the words left his mouth, he realized what he had said and covered his mouth in horror.
All eyes in the room instantly focused on Zhou Huai'an, whose face was ashen!
Below the stage, the cheers of the crowd surged forth like a tidal wave.
"We need Team Leader Su's furnace!!"
"Severely punish those who disrupt the competition! Severely punish Zhou Huai'an!"
"Political Commissar Zhou must give us an explanation!"
The deafening roar completely engulfed Zhou Huai'an, who was pale and swaying, and the distraught expert team.
But in an inconspicuous corner behind the square.
A middle-aged man dressed in ordinary cadre clothes and with a refined demeanor pushed up his glasses.
He had been watching the competition from beginning to end, or more accurately, he was focusing on Su Tang.
The shock and surprise in the man's eyes had reached an unprecedented level.
He slowly took out a small notebook from his pocket and quickly wrote a line on it.
Su Tang. Value assessment: High. Recommendation: Contact her immediately and recruit her at all costs.
