Han Yixian and He Yuhan's conversation was limited to anything related to the machine; they didn't say anything else to avoid arousing suspicion.
Han Yixian's guess was actually correct; the room was indeed being monitored, which was for the safety of the equipment. After all, this equipment was too important to be lost.
He Yuhan first started the machine to find the fault, and then made a record of the abnormal parts of the machine one by one.
She didn't rush to disassemble the machine; she needed to fully understand its structure before taking any action.
At noon, He Yuhan and Han Yi locked their room and went back to their resting room. Lunch was delivered to them by someone.
The couple still didn't eat the food delivered to them; they ate what they had in their spatial dimension. Han Yixian had specifically marked out a few chickens in his spatial dimension, and the food delivered was all fed to these chickens there.
This also reflects Han Yixian's cautious nature. After all, he has experienced too much and will not easily trust anyone outside.
After finishing their meal, Han Yi locked the door and stayed in the room to keep watch, while He Yuhan went into the space to contact Du Zhuoyuan.
The machine that He Yuhan needed to repair was practically obsolete by Du Zhuoyuan's standards. Information about the machine was readily available, and Du Zhuoyuan quickly found the information He Yuhan required thanks to his connections.
He Yuhan smiled silently as she looked at the detailed information. The documents included design drawings and other relevant materials; it wouldn't be impossible for her to produce an identical machine if she wanted to. It was just unnecessary right now.
He Yuhan used her lunch break to review the blueprints and related materials, ensuring she had a clear understanding of the situation.
In the afternoon, He Yuhan prepared to disassemble the machine to check for the fault inside.
Han Yixian watched his wife looking at a pile of blueprints and documents and asked, "Yuhan, how is it? Is everything alright?"
He Yuhan said, "More or less, I'll take the machine apart and check it this afternoon."
After lunch break, He Yuhan and Han Yixian returned to the machine repair room and officially began disassembling the machine.
Having blueprints made disassembling the machine much easier for He Yuhan. She neatly arranged the disassembled machine parts one by one on the long table, and then carefully inspected each part.
Things went smoothly, and He Yuhan quickly found the cause of the machine malfunction. The problem was a small, inconspicuous part that was not easy for the average person to find.
If it's a major component that's broken, it might be easier to find out, but such a small part is very difficult to spot.
Furthermore, He Yuhan discovered a serious problem: upon examining the small part with a magnifying glass, she found that it was not naturally damaged, but rather deliberately damaged, which meant that the machine malfunction was caused by human error.
He Yuhan immediately wrote down her discovery and told Han Yixian.
Han Yixian frowned immediately when he saw what He Yuhan had written on the paper. It seemed that the instrument malfunction was not accidental, and there was a big problem behind it.
Who exactly sabotaged this machine? Were all the malfunctioning instruments at the research institute deliberately damaged? Is there some kind of conspiracy involved?
Having experienced all sorts of conspiracies and schemes, Han Yixian immediately realized that the research institute was studying things that were very important to the country, and that someone must be deliberately sabotaging it.
Han Yixian immediately told He Yuhan to stop, as this matter was very serious and needed to be reported immediately.
After that, Han Yixian stopped letting his wife get involved, as this was his area of expertise. He immediately had someone notify Zhao Huaiming, saying that some special tools were needed, otherwise the machine couldn't be disassembled.
When Zhao Huaiming received the report, he was puzzled. Hadn't he already prepared all the tools for He Yuhan? Why were they still missing tools?
He didn't delay, nor did he send anyone else to inquire; he came to the research institute himself.
He entered the room where He Yuhan and the others were repairing the machine and saw that a row of parts were already laid out on the long table; the machine had already been disassembled.
He was about to speak when Han Yixian made a gesture. Zhao Huaiming stopped talking as soon as he saw Han Yixian's gesture, and walked up to Han Yixian with a serious expression.
He asked in a low voice, "Is there a problem?"
Han Yixian said, "Let's find a quiet room to talk."
Zhao Huaiming immediately knew that He Yuhan and Han Yixian had made some major discovery and were worried that the room was not safe.
Zhao Huaiming said, "Come on, follow me."
He Yuhan locked the door, and the couple followed Zhao Huaiming to a room on the third floor.
Zhao Huaiming asked with a serious expression, "Comrade He, Comrade Han, is there something important that you urgently need to see me about?"
Han Yixian said, "Minister Zhao, Yuhan inspected all the parts and found that the main parts were all good, but there was a small, inconspicuous part that was not easily damaged. After Yuhan's examination, she believes that it was deliberately damaged. Although the marks are not obvious, they can still be seen as human intervention."
Zhao Huaiming frowned upon hearing this. "You mean someone deliberately sabotaged this instrument? Then the purpose is self-evident: to hinder the smooth progress of the research institute's work."
It seems like this is a conspiracy. Perhaps the other malfunctioning instruments were also sabotaged.
"Thanks to your arrival, we discovered such a crucial clue. No one else touched this machine after it malfunctioned; Comrade He Yuhan was the first to disassemble it, which rules out traces left by maintenance personnel."
Han Yixian said, "I think we shouldn't leak this information yet. You should investigate it privately."
Zhao Huaiming nodded and said, "We really can't alert them. We need to investigate secretly first. You guys should also pretend to be looking for faults and make it seem like you haven't found any. I'll check all the suspicious people first."
Han Yixian said, "We will do our best to cooperate with you."
After Zhao Huaiming and Han Yixian finished their conversation, they sent more tools to He Yuhan. He Yuhan and Han Yixian pretended to check the room for faults every day, but they found nothing.
To be even more certain whether there was a conspiracy, Zhao Huaiming had two more damaged instruments moved to He Yuhan's room.
He Yuhan then asked Du Zhuoyuan to continue collecting information while she continued to familiarize herself with it.
An inspection of the other two machines revealed that they had been deliberately sabotaged, indicating a massive conspiracy. Bad actors had infiltrated the research institute to cause damage.
It is not yet certain whether the person came from outside or is someone from within the research institute.
Zhao Huaiming and Han Yixian both believed that the saboteurs were from within the research institute. They reasoned that such a confidential place would be difficult for outsiders to avoid, and they would have no access to the equipment.
This undoubtedly narrowed the scope of the investigation. Zhao Huaiming also intensified his investigation. After all, time was tight, and results needed to be obtained as soon as possible.
