Chapter 201: The Dark Tide is Surging

Case Laboratory's research on plastic degradation began nine years ago, and the research direction of Alpha Laboratory and Pingyang Laboratory is slightly different in that Case Laboratory set the topic to solve water white pollution at the beginning, and there are three sources of funding: one is the National Environmental Protection Administration, the second is environmental protection enterprises, and the third is Case Laboratory itself.

Although the toxic side effects of white pollution in water pollution are not as big as industrial wastewater, but the consequences are the most serious, take offshore pollution as an example, 80% of the floating debris is waste garbage bags or related waste products, because of its extremely difficult to dissolve characteristics, so that other toxic substances are easy to adhere to the waste garbage bags, and will not be washed away by the water flow, which will cause continuous pollution of the water.

In addition, these plastic wastes float on the surface of the sea for a long time, blocking the light and putting them on the bottom of the water, affecting the photosynthesis of shallow sea plants, and over time, it will inevitably cause catastrophic damage to the biological chain of the waters.

The existence of plastic waste, in addition to pollution, will also adversely affect offshore operations, which is a problem for every country with a coastline, for how to deal with white pollution, each country has special research projects, but the research progress of the four major laboratories such as Case and Alpha is the most prominent, and it is also the most likely to succeed.

There is a reason why countries around the world are so keen to research solutions to white pollution, and if they can solve the white pollution that has plagued the world for 200 years, it will bring huge economic benefits and will also greatly benefit the country's international prestige.

Before the No. 3 degradable enzyme was studied, China's environmental pollution problem has been the object of criticism in the West's annual parliamentary proposal, and now the No. 3 and No. 4 degradable enzymes have been developed by the Xinda Chemical Plant, which has turned Huaxia's shortcomings into strengths in one fell swoop.

The problem that the West has not been able to solve for a hundred years has been solved by Huaxia, and the standard has been exported to all countries in the world, slapping Europe and the United States in the face, not to mention, Huaxia has also become a scientific and technological power with No. 3 degradable enzyme, which is definitely what Western countries did not expect and are even more unwilling to see.

Before the sense of loss in Western countries was eliminated, it was reported that the research of the No. 5 degrading enzyme of the Innovent laboratory had made another breakthrough, the second stage of the water melting experiment was successful, and the research on absolute ultra-high pressure polyethylene and super polypropylene was in full swing and secret, and the results would be produced in half a year at the latest.

If these three high-tech projects are successfully researched, Huaxia's international prestige will rise again, and the country and the country are all a combination of interests, and the United States will even coax and frighten a group of European brothers to fight against Huaxia, and at that time, it will definitely disperse in a hurry.

After nine years of research and development, and a large amount of capital investment, it is hard to see the light of day, and then it is preempted by Innovent, not to mention the loss of money by Case Labs, its strength will definitely be doubted, who will look for them to develop products in the future?

As a result, Case Labs couldn't sit still, and both the country and the company had to prevent Innovent from continuing its research.

At this time, in the conference room on the third floor of Case Laboratory, six people sat solemnly, and among them was a general with a general on his shoulder.

"Gentlemen, we have to come up with a solution!" said Steve, the owner of Case Labs and a bearded doctor of materials science, glancing at the attendees sitting on either side of the conference table.

In addition to Steve and Alexis, the boss of Case Labs, the other four people attending the meeting were representatives of the military and investment companies, namely Major General Nicholas Johnson, Taylor, director of Sequoia, Lopez, manager of the marketing department, and Starwin Bieber, director of the Golden Gull Group.

"General Johnson, what do you military think about this matter?" The treacherous Taylor threw the question to the serious-looking Nicholas Johnson, who wanted to know the attitude of the US military through Johnson.

"Our military is mainly interested in the study of absolute ultra-high pressure polyethylene, and nothing else. "General Johnson didn't fall for Taylor at all, and directly blocked the topic.

"I really don't see, it is said that the research of Xinda Laboratory on ultra-high pressure polyethylene has achieved initial results, I think the military should be in a hurry at this time, right?" Taylor glanced at General Johnson and slowly lit a cigar, "According to the Chinese people, now everyone is a grasshopper tied to a rope, if you want to break this deadlock, you must work together, otherwise, everyone will lose money together!"

"How to break, I wish to hear and see. Stavin Bieber asked.

"Since Mr. Steve has summoned us, he must have a countermeasure, we should listen to Mr. Steve first, after all, he knows the most information. With that, Taylor turned his head to Steve, who was sitting in the chair, and smiled, "Doctor, what are your plans for this?" ”

"Cunning!" Steve scolded in his heart, then cleared his throat and said with a serious expression, "There is a plan, but it needs your cooperation." Then Steve told the group about the plan.

Steve's plan is simple, there are two steps, the first step is to gather intelligence, try to get data about the three projects, analyze how successful the project is, and if it really threatens the research of Case Labs, then proceed to the second step, inducement or violent destruction.

There are two types of sabotage, one is the destruction of equipment data, and the second is the destruction of personnel, which is to use extreme means to make the main R&D personnel unable to conduct scientific research, and then to prevent Innovent from continuing research.

But whether it is lure or sabotage, it requires the full cooperation of all investors, after all, the current Cinda is the darling of Huaxia, Huaxia will definitely protect Cinda, no matter how strong Case Lab is, it is impossible to compete with the country, so it is necessary for several companies to work together to hope for success, which is also the purpose of Steve's convening of the meeting of three investors today.

"I think we're still buying," General Johnson said, "and try to figure out their current progress and their thinking, and wouldn't it be better if we could use it?"

"I'm afraid it's difficult to buy," Steve sighed, "There are two project leaders in Cinda, named Meng Tao and Jia Dongyu, Jia Dongyu basically doesn't go out, and Innovent Labs is heavily guarded, so it's not easy to contact at all, as for the boss Meng Tao, how do you buy it?"

"It's a bit hard," Staven Bieber rubbed his temples, "and it looks like the way to buy is not going to work." ”

The first path doesn't work, so you can only take the second.

Jia Dongyu basically didn't come out of the Xinda laboratory, but Meng Tao came out, sitting in a bulletproof car, with bodyguards, and in China, a country with excellent public security, how to arrest him?

After some research by the six people, they finally targeted Meng Tao's family and their families, and used their families as threats to force them to hand over the project plan.

Because the goal of foreigners entering Huaxia was too obvious, in the end, at the suggestion of Stafford Bieber, through the personnel of several companies in the Huaxia office to buy the local forces in Rongyang, and use them to complete the task, as for the cost, the four shared equally.

Of course, all of this can only be done with detailed data, and it is imperative to gather project intelligence first.
