There is no substantial evidence to prove this was man-made.
But considering the incidents that happened just two days ago, and the fact that the equipnt decided to fail right now after all this ti, these two points together.
It’s really hard not to suspect sothing.
Chen Ming firmly believes there’s no such thing as coincidence in this world.
He knew the issue wasn’t over, but he didn’t expect the second incident to occur so soon.
Initially, Chen Ming was considering whether to proactively trigger this danger, since he sensed the danger beforehand, and if he wanted, he could directly eliminate it.
Moreover, since this was happening on Bai Quan’s turf, any accident would make Bai Quan responsible.
Solving the problem invisibly would certainly be the best outco for Bai Quan.
But in that mont when Chen Ming paused his actions, he realized that things might not be that straightforward for him.
So events must happen to be properly investigated,
if sothing doesn’t happen, Vice Admiral Bai Quan wouldn’t have any legitimate reason to investigate an unmaterialized incident.
Therefore, considering the likelihood that these devices were brought by the incoming researchers, Chen Ming willingly chose to shoulder the risk.
However, with so many people watching, Chen Ming couldn’t openly say soone was orchestrating trouble.
He just wanted Bai Quan’s assistance, not to embarrass him.
So after stabilizing the situation, Chen Ming imdiately connected to the broadcast system and announced: "Do not panic, the issue has been resolved."
"The electromagnetic restraint device had a component aging issue causing unstable voltage, creating output power discrepancies. The repair is complete, operations can continue."
Chen Ming’s voice echoed through the slightly chaotic do.
The researchers present were sharp and quickly regained composure.
Once confirming everything was fine, each returned to their posts to reinspect and recalibrate the equipnt as if it was routine.
Although the chanical Race researchers seed accustod to such situations, and the chanical Race was indeed prone to issues,
Chen Ming still believed his suspicions were justified.
During the ti taken to recalibrate the equipnt, Chen Ming approached Bai Quan, who was on a call.
Bai Quan’s expression was now only cold. After Chen Ming approached, he imdiately hung up and said, "This is my responsibility."
Bai Quan evidently shared the sa thought as Chen Ming.
This incident wasn’t accidental; it was orchestrated by soone.
Chen Ming didn’t rush to accept Bai Quan’s assumption of responsibility but looked around for any nosy intruders before saying, "Not necessarily."
"Let ask you a few questions. Did you bring these devices over from the headquarters?"
"Yes."
Bai Quan promptly confird, just as Chen Ming guessed.
"And your side doesn’t have many chanical Race researchers, right?"
"Not many. Although you know the circumstances here, selecting representatives to join a conference and relocating an entire laboratory are different scenarios. We were already short on researchers and they are all quite busy."
Chen Ming asked again, "Did you inspect them?"
"The strictest port scanning was conducted."
"Oh, then it’s a headquarters issue, not yours. It’s impossible for you to detect these equipnt issues given your conditions."
Chen Ming deftly diverted the bla from Bai Quan.
"So, it doesn’t seem like Hu Yi’s doing either; previously, they were already cautious and didn’t affect others. It’s unlikely they’d release such a dangerous chanical body in a place with nearly a thousand people. Who do you think did it?"
"Who stands to gain? Who stands to lose? Whoever can secure deeper interests behind all this is likely the one responsible."
"Do you have any ideas?"
"I have so inklings."
"Alright, we’ll discuss it later; there are things to handle now."
Chen Ming glanced at the place where over a thousand researchers were gathered not far away.
They were all quick-witted individuals, seemingly used to accidents occurring during chanical Race research,
and the chanical Race did not cause any impact just now, with no trampling incidents occurring.
The equipnt recalibration was swift, and Chen Ming could soon start the second control of the chanical Race.
Bai Quan observed this and simply concurred, "Indeed."
After waiting for a while, Chen Ming suddenly asked, "Where’s Director Wu?"
"He’s fine, just imdiately protected by other researchers, and wasn’t frightened at all."
"He’s the most high-profile person here, right?"
"Indeed."
"Hmm, then those extra devices I saw outside the ones I initially ordered should have been brought in at his request."
"Could you ask him who provided those devices to him, who dared to give him aging equipnt?"
Upon hearing the word "aging," Bai Quan furrowed his brows and agreed, "I’ll ask."
After Bai Quan agreed, the two waited quietly for another ten minutes.
As the researchers on the other side began to gradually disperse, Chen Ming said, "It’s about ti. Let’s finish the task quickly; having so many people while I’m working makes honestly a bit anxious."
" too. Those who can attend are key figures in chanical Race research or contributors, losing even one is a loss."
"Let’s speed it up."
This ti, as Chen Ming began the control of the chanical Race, no unexpected events occurred.
