Magnified a thousandfold, the blade's condition came into stark clarity.
"OMG, it appears to be nothing more than minor wear and tear!" exclaimed one observer.
"I'd wager that given this blade's condition, we can process another 20 or even 30 parts without a hitch," confidently remarked another.
"I can't help but think we could go even further, perhaps fifty more parts," mused a third voice.
A brief hush fell upon the scene before it erupted back into life.
Seeing the enthusiastic reactions all around, Han Guang couldn't help but feel elated. It was all thanks to Brother Yong's innovation that they had access to such an exceptional alloy blade.
After a while, the CNC vertical machining center finally ceased its operations, having successfully processed its fiftieth part.
Before the eyes of the onlookers and numerous cameras, the freshly machined parts were removed, inspected, and deemed completely up to par.
The crowd burst into jubilant cheers.
The machining tool itself was also scrutinized. Upon closer inspection, it was evident that the tool's cutting edge had only suffered minimal wear and tear, making it more than capable of handling dozens more parts.
Another round of hearty cheers ensued.
Not too far away, at the exhibition booth of the March Alloy Cutting Tool Group, their two machines were still diligently at work, processing their respective parts.
Observing sporadic cheers emanating from the Taishan Alloy Cutting Tool Group's exhibit area, the atmosphere was electric. Meanwhile, Zhu Xiangsheng began to sense an impending doom that sent a shiver down his spine.
"The Taishan Alloy Cutting Tool Group has completed the processing of fifty parts," a voice announced.
"Unbelievable! March Alloy Cutting Tool Group hasn't even reached half that number!" another voice exclaimed.
The collective audience made a beeline for the Taishan Alloy Cutting Tool Group's booth while the March Alloy Cutting Tool Group's machines continued their labor.
They had already changed cutting tools multiple times during their operations. The alloy blades and tools needed replacing every four or five parts, which significantly hampered efficiency. Moreover, they couldn't push their processing parameters too aggressively, fearing damage to the tools.
Zhu Xiangsheng watched the lively scene unfolding at the Taishan Alloy Cutting Tool Group's exhibit with a sinking heart. He had never fathomed that he would face such a resounding defeat—complete and utter.
How could Taishan Alloy Cutting Tool Group possess such an outstanding blade? He had dedicated almost two decades to the alloy cutting tool industry, and this level of prowess was unheard of. Processing fifty parts without a hitch, with only minor wear to the blade, was a feat that defied his comprehension.
One of his subordinates, in a dejected tone, asked, "Mr. Zhu, should we continue processing parts?"
Zhu Xiangsheng's face darkened further. The competitors had already concluded their work, and persisting further would only invite further humiliation.
With a tone marked by frustration and bitterness, Zhu Xiangsheng decided it was best to leave the stage. He offered a hurried explanation, saving face as much as he could, before departing in desolation.
Meanwhile, the Taishan Alloy Cutting Tool Group's exhibition area buzzed with activity. The crowd was thick, making navigation nearly impossible.
Within the vast International Convention and Exhibition Center, the largest hall boasted the highest concentration of attendees.
Han Guang appeared prepared for this surge in attention. His team had ample promotional materials, sample alloy blades, and abundant staff.
Attendees quickly noticed that all the alloy knives and blades were uniformly black—lustrous and metallic.
"Look at that! Everything's black," one onlooker observed.
"This must be a new type of black alloy!" another speculated.
"This black alloy is stunning! It exudes a unique aesthetic appeal. Is it an alloy developed in-house by the Taishan Alloy Cutting Tool Group, or did they source it elsewhere?" someone pondered.
The entire exhibition area was abuzz with excitement. The news of the Taishan Alloy Cutting Tool Group's victory over Maqi Alloy Cutting Tool Group spread like wildfire, and soon, nearly all exhibitors were privy to the outcome.
What a shock! The March Alloy Cutting Tool Group had actually lost, and lost comprehensively! The Taishan Alloy Cutting Tool Group had processed fifty high-temperature alloy parts in one go, with only minor wear on the blade and the ability to process dozens more parts.
Upon learning this, other knife manufacturers were left stunned and incredulous. They struggled to come to terms with the fact that a blade could exhibit such incredible prowess.
lightsΝοvel A person in the crowd eventually leaked the news that the coveted black alloy was being showcased at booth A122. This information set almost every knife manufacturer in motion.
Booth A122 belonged to the Global Specialty Materials Group, displaying only two kinds of metals—one a matte gray, the other a jet-black, glossy alloy.
The booth was already swarming with people, including media personnel and live broadcasters.
"That's the metal!" one exclaimed.
"Wow, it's gorgeous! I adore this black color!" another chimed in.
"It's black and shiny, with a metallic sheen," a third observed.
"Look, there's a gray-black metal too. That can't be ordinary," someone pointed out.
The entire area was alive with chatter and excitement. Xin Feiwen and her team worked tirelessly to introduce these alloys to the crowd, distributing informational materials and samples.
"It's quite heavy—I tried it," one attendee remarked.
"As mentioned in the materials, the density of this black alloy is 12.5, much higher than standard alloys," another added.
"In contrast, the gray-black alloy is remarkably lightweight, yet incredibly strong. It's almost unbelievable," a third person marveled.
Liu Yong stood in the midst of the commotion, a satisfied grin playing across his lips. Suddenly, a middle-aged man, seemingly a business leader, approached accompanied by Xin Feiwen.
Xin Feiwen introduced, "President Su, this is Mr. Liu Yong, the chairman of our Universal Enterprise Group."
Su Jie eagerly extended his hand to shake Liu Yong's, his face lit with joy. "Mr. Liu, I've heard so much about you. I'm Su Jie from the Huanghe Alloy Cutting Tool Group."
Huanghe Alloy Cutting Tool Group was on par with Taishan Alloy Cutting Tool Group in terms of size and reputation, known throughout China for their alloy cutting tools.
Having shaken hands with Liu Yong, Su Jie's eyes gravitated toward the black alloys on display, the very reason for his presence here.
