The season has entered early summer, and cicadas began to sing on the treetops in the institute.
This summer’s hot weather seems to have come extremely early.
It’s only the beginning of May and the temperature is already over 35 degrees.
Wave after wave of heat waves were isolated from the outdoors by the air conditioner that was turned on to the maximum.
The long conference table was filled with investigation materials about the "226" accident.
The special investigation team of the International Insurance Fund arrived at the institute two days ago.
The leader was a dark-skinned Ah San, but he seemed to have joined the Taka-chan family's nationality.
The other party's English always had a curry flavor, which made Zhang Xingyang have to think carefully before he could understand it.
The purpose of this international insurance fund investigation team is mainly to confirm whether the accident is within the scope of insurance coverage.
According to the insurance agreement, if the loss of the faulty component itself is caused by the rocket design, mechanical failure of the rocket component itself, short circuit or electronic interference.
The insurance fund is not responsible for compensating for any loss, damage or expenses incurred by the insured subject matter due to these reasons.
In other words, if the loss is caused by your own quality problems, the insurance company will not compensate for the parts with quality problems.
However, the insurance company will pay compensation for subsequent losses of other parts caused by the above reasons.
This is where the two sides are now more contentious.
The Rocket Research Institute believes that the rocket accident was mainly due to a malfunction in the control chip of the attitude control system, which caused the system to mistakenly believe that it had tilted and automatically corrected itself.
Therefore, the exemption clause only applies to the control chip part and cannot exempt other remaining parts.
Of course, this was thanks to the fact that Zhang Xingyang taught the control system personnel to conduct a reset simulation. After several months of working day and night, they finally found out the cause of the accident.
It turned out that one pin of a control chip had a weak solder, which caused the pins of the control chip to become misaligned in a high-temperature working environment.
As a result, wrong signal instructions were issued, which misled the judgment of the control system and made angle adjustments that should not have been made.
In the end, the entire fuel-filled rocket hit the nearby mountain diagonally, creating an explosion comparable to dozens of tons of TNT explosives!
However, the International Insurance Fund does not fully recognize the Rocket Academy’s investigation report.
They believe that the rocket engine manufactured by the Rocket Research Institute has serious quality problems, which is the main reason why the rocket tilted and hit the mountain during launch.
According to their calculations, the tail nozzle of the rocket engine was severely deformed after the engine was started, which eventually caused the jet wake to tilt, which caused the rocket to tilt and hit the mountain.
If they follow what they said, they will not need to compensate for the loss of several engines of the entire rocket, which will save them more than 10 million in compensation.
So although discerning people in the industry can see that they are talking nonsense, the members of the International Insurance Fund Investigation Team are still messing around.
After all, it is impossible for anyone in this world to do enough that everyone likes, but no one dislikes green dollars.
The investigation team leader, who smelled of curry, said that there was something wrong with the design of the entire rocket. There were major problems in the design that caused the rocket to crash into a mountain.
"I personally am very sorry for your experience, but according to the insurance agreement we signed before launching the rocket, we cannot agree to your request to compensate for losses other than the control chip."
The leader of the Asan investigation team, who was wearing a dark green suit and spoke curry-flavored English, said arrogantly.
The other party's tone made even Liang Yi, who had always had a good temper, clenched his fists.
Not to mention those other young and energetic young men.
Especially Qin Ming, who had been busy for several months and lost weight in order to explore and understand the problems in the control system.
He even slapped the table directly.
"Snapped!"
"Don't bully others too much!" Qin Ming was so angry that he stood up suddenly and pointed at the other person and cursed.
The members of the investigation team sitting across the conference table obviously didn't take Qin Ming's anger to heart.
In their minds, these are all trivial matters, as long as they can shift the responsibility for the accident to the engine problem.
Each of them gets 1% of the money saved here, which is more than 100,000 US dollars.
In this era, the total income of a middle-class family in Yingjiang is only about US$80,000 a year.
In other words, they can earn as much as other people's family in one or two years on a business trip in just one or two weeks.
The leader of the insurance fund investigation team sat upright and said word by word:
"Dean Zhang, please respect the meeting and don't stand up suddenly and interrupt our speech."
Even though his anger was about to overwhelm him, Zhang Xingyang still remained rational and did not let Qin Ming continue talking.
Instead, he forcefully pulled him to sit down, and then gritted his teeth and said:
"I'm sorry, you can continue speaking."
Ah San glanced at Qin Ming with contempt, and then continued to say provocatively:
“The casualties you suffered in the accident are not covered by our insurance liability.
However, out of a humanitarian spirit, we are willing to pay an accident subsidy of one hundred US dollars per person to your personnel who died in the accident. "
Zhang Xingyang has seen through the other person's face. He wants you to thank him for making money from you.
"We are completely unacceptable to the insurance accident investigation issued by you."
As a representative of the Rocket Research Institute at the meeting, Zhang Xingyang stood up and expressed his attitude:
"We believe that the investigation report you issued has no scientific proof at all. It is completely fabricated by you and has no value."
“After conducting hundreds of simulation experiments, we have determined that the cause of the accident was the virtual soldering problem of the control chip.
The complete experimental simulation data is right in front of you, and you don't even want to spend an hour looking at it. "
Faced with Zhang Xingyang’s accusation, the investigation team leader Ah San said nonchalantly:
"Your experimental simulation was not conducted under the conditions specified by us, so it has no reference value to us."
Zhang Xingyang's face had completely turned cold at this time, and he said in a very unfriendly tone:
"If you and I cannot agree on the cause of the accident, then we will initiate arbitration through the International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission!"
At this time, the black-skinned Ah San was even in the mood to adjust his tie, then he spread his hands with a smile and said:
"Of course, this is your right, but in this case it may take a long time before we can compensate you."
Others at the Rocket Academy may not particularly understand what the other party means.
But Zhang Xingyang and Liang Yi understand that delaying a little longer will make it more difficult for the institute.
This is the other party's threat and also the other party's conspiracy.
