(Two In One)_1 Chapter 912: Chapter 864: Did You Change The Blueprints!?
(Two In One)_1 As expected, the reports from Barnes and Daniel immediately received the attention of the Director.
After repeatedly confirming the authenticity of the intelligence and patiently inquiring about every detail, the Director had Daniel further supplement the intelligence.
Then, taking Daniel and a file twice as thick as before, they left the Central Intelligence Agency for the airport by car.
Where they were going, group leader Barnes could guess – just as they could directly report to the Director, the Director could also directly report to the President.
However, the Director did not take him, but instead took the young Daniel.
He was somewhat disappointed, but not to the point of resentment.
After all, Daniel discovered the key intelligence.
Barnes had not thought to bypass Lincoln and Cloud Dream, and directly targeted the mechanical manufacturing plants around Xiajing City to seek corroborative evidence from the side.
Moreover, not only did Daniel have the idea, but he also had enough initiative.
He immediately liaised with other groups to obtain related intelligence – since the start of the “Space Race,” round-the-clock monitoring and photography of sensitive places in other countries via satellite was more or less an open secret.
On this matter, there wasn’t the question of whether or not it should be done, only if it could be accomplished.
Therefore, as long as Daniel invoked the special authority of the countermeasure team, it wouldn’t be difficult to obtain the relevant data.

The real difficulty was: He had to check all the incoming and outgoing factory videos of at least the top five large mechanical factories around Xiajing City recently, and after statistical analysis, compared it with data from previous years, only then could he truly detect the anomaly.
—These big trucks wouldn’t line up one by one for them to snap photos of.
On the contrary, the entry timing of these trucks was staggered, without any pattern.
It looked very suspicious at first glance!
If it wasn’t for the unusually large volume of incoming goods, and Daniel’s targeted statistical comparison, it would have been impossible to detect this issue.
Since his subordinate was so capable and seized the opportunity, there wasn’t much for Barnes to complain about.
However, he didn’t know how this matter would end up when it reached the President, would the retirement life of the countermeasure team be completely ruined?

Henry would never think that: On the other side of the Earth in America, a group of people would become suspicious because a large number of materials arrived at the mechanical factory, and the number of trucks arriving was exceptionally high, yet the timing was completely irregular.
Because there wasn’t any intention of “creating a smokescreen,” this was purely because he was in a hurry to assign tasks, the mechanical factory had to rush to procure materials, and there wasn’t time to coordinate everything uniformly.
Essentially, as soon as a truck arrived, they would load it up, and if people arrived, they would get to work.
Originally it wouldn’t have been like this, but when Henry received the detailed blueprints from Lincoln, he immediately realized he was wrong—
This thing was not the 10-meter mecha he had imagined!
—Back when Lincoln was explaining about mechas online, a medium mecha was only 10 meters.
ƝοѵǤᴑ.сο
It stood to reason that Lincoln wanted to build a 10-meter medium mecha.
It couldn’t possibly be that he wanted to build an 80-meter super giant mecha, right?
But on the blueprints Lincoln gave him, the thing was a full 24 meters!
When standing, it would be as tall as an eight-story building!
Henry immediately called Lincoln: “Tell me honestly, is it because I said ‘I’ll do it for free’, that you changed the blueprints?”
“…” On the other end of the phone, Lincoln was silent for a moment.
After reacting, he immediately denied, “Not at all!
How could it be?
How could it ever be?”
“You just admitted it!” Henry’s forehead was throbbing with veins.
“Not at all!
Just now the signal was…hello?
Can you hear me?
…The signal might not be very good, the call quality is a bit poor.”
Henry gritted his teeth in anger: “I may indeed not be as clever as you, but you can’t treat me like a fool.
In Xiajing city, the signal is bad?”
“Uh…” Lincoln hesitated for a moment, and had no choice but to admit: “Okay, I did tweak it a tiny bit.”
“A tiny bit?” Henry did not believe him, “Exactly how much?”
“Oh, just from 18 meters to 24 meters, just an addition of a quarter.” Lincoln answered as casually as possible.
“A quarter?!
This is called a tiny bit?
In the blueprints you designed, don’t tell me you don’t know that if the height increases by a quarter, with the proportion unchanged, the weight of the materials will increase by how much?” Henry was somewhat unable to contain himself.
But at the same time, he was stunned beyond belief.
“Changing blueprints” was not as simple as scaling it up proportionally.
—Perhaps it could work like that for a simple shell model, but including the internal mechanical structure, many things would have to be recalculated and redrawn, especially such a large change as a “quarter”, the workload was by no means small.
And yet Lincoln managed to alter it without delay?
Thinking this, his anger suddenly dissipated: “Are you sure these blueprints are feasible?”
“I haven’t made any this large before, but based on calculations and simulations, there shouldn’t be any problems.
I have more than 90% confidence.” Lincoln not only exuded confidence, he even guaranteed: “If it fails, the cost of this one is on me!”
“No need.” Henry shook his head, “Whether it succeeds or not, you don’t need to spend money.
It’s just that the size of this thing far exceeds my expectations.
The factory can’t squeeze out so much material from other orders.
I’m afraid I’ll have to procure anew, time might be a bit tight.”
—The mechanical factory directly under the Research Institute was different from commercial mechanical factories.
The orders were very special and material control was very strict.
“It’s fine, it’s fine, there’s no rush.” Lincoln politely declined.
