Lin Chen hadn't had much interaction with Sun Wenjie before, but he still greeted him very politely upon seeing him.
"Hello, Comrade Sun Wenjie, I didn't expect to see you here."
After saying that, he began to pick up the stationery that had fallen on the ground.
Sun Wenjie looked very embarrassed and hurriedly helped him pick them up.
"I never expected to be working as a clerk in the office. And you are?"
Lin Chen then told him about the assessment he was going to take.
Sun Wenjie glanced at his watch and said, "Then you'd better hurry up and don't be late."
After watching Lin Chen walk away, he threw the 2B pencil he had just replaced into the trash can.
Lin Chen and several other graduates who had also interned at the design institute for about half a year sat in the classroom, waiting for the examiners to enter.
Their exam room was a bit special because they had to draw design drafts, so instead of a flat table, each person had a tilted drawing board in front of them.
The drawing board is set with large set squares, large compasses, and other drawing tools.
As for pencils and the like, since everyone has different habits, each person prepares their own.
When it was almost time, Xiao Tong led a few people to sit down in the front row of the classroom.
They were all examiners; among them were Xie Quan and several other experts from the design institute.
After the examiner announced the topic, everyone began to design.
Electrical design drawings are dense with lines, requiring extremely high precision in line work, making the pencil particularly important.
Before the exam, Lin Chen had already sharpened several pencils for use.
But when he finished one and wanted to change to another, he found that the lead had become very short and needed to be re-sharpened.
He was thinking about the layout while sharpening his pencil, but each time he sharpened it to a certain length, the lead would break.
Even after replacing it, the problem persists.
This had never happened to his pen before.
He couldn't help but recall the scene from earlier when Sun Wenjie deliberately made exaggerated movements to pick up the pencil.
Did he switch them?
Having already wasted ten minutes, he didn't have time to think much and quickly raised his hand to Xiao Tong, asking him to find him some pencils.
Xiao Tong made the arrangements immediately.
He was able to quickly resume his exams.
As the time drew to a close, Xie Quan got up and pretended to begin his inspection.
When she walked up to Lin Chen, she deliberately bumped into his arm.
Suddenly, a heavy stroke of the pen swept across a corner of the drawing.
If he erases it and starts over, there definitely won't be enough time for him to finish drawing.
He just had to grit his teeth and keep drawing, letting that mark stay there.
Just as the exam was about to end, a colleague from the design department rushed in and whispered something in Xiao Tong's ear.
Xiao Tong's expression changed, and he immediately announced the end of the exam. All the design drafts would be temporarily sealed away until they returned to be judged.
He then led several experts to the conference room.
"The central control system of the Sany Hydropower Station suddenly stopped operating, and it is suspected that the main circuit board is faulty. However, the control system is imported from France, and if the circuit board is replaced, we need to contact the French side."
They hoped we could help them with their immediate problem.
Someone reported this to Xiao Tong and the others.
Xiao Tong asked with a serious expression:
"Can any of you come up with an alternative?"
Everyone shook their heads: "Foreign design companies are particularly cunning. They design the circuit boards to be exactly the same, making it impossible to determine where the problem lies."
Without identifying specific nodes, we are unable to develop targeted design solutions.
For experts at design institutes, design is their forte, but maintenance is something they don't really understand.
The maintenance personnel at the hydroelectric power station are skilled at troubleshooting, but the circuits are so complex that it takes them a long time to troubleshoot, which is very time-consuming.
This hydroelectric power station is responsible for providing electricity to hundreds of thousands of households!
Just when they were at their wits' end, Lin Chen, who had been watching from the doorway, went in and volunteered his services.
"Let me give it a try, I know a little about repairs."
Xie Quan was quite dissatisfied that he hadn't been invited and had entered the meeting room on his own.
"Can't you see we're in a meeting? What are you doing, an intern, causing trouble?!"
The elderly man sitting at the head of the conference room, who was also the dean, waved to someone who had stepped forward.
"Young comrade, come here and tell me about it."
Xiao Tong quickly stood up and gave up her seat.
"Lin Chen, come here. Dean Liu wants you to speak, so just tell him your thoughts."
Lin Chen was not intimidated. He walked over and sat down, then picked up Xiao Tong's pen and began to draw in his notebook.
He shared his idea of inspecting the equipment and designing an alternative.
Dean Liu looked at it and his face lit up with surprise.
"You are a promising young man; your method is worth a try."
After saying that, he immediately asked the office to arrange a special car to take Lin Chen to the hydropower station for on-site inspection.
Xiao Tong accompanied him.
"Okay, Dean Liu."
Xiao Tong immediately set off with Lin Chen.
Unexpectedly, the person driving was Sun Wenjie.
Lin Chen ignored him and spent the whole way studying the blueprints of the central processing unit, memorizing every single node.
If you have any questions, please communicate with Xiao Tong promptly.
Sun Wenjie listened to their discussion and felt very dissatisfied, so he deliberately chatted with Lin Chen.
"Xiao Sun, watch your car and don't talk or bother us. If you cause any problems, you'll be held responsible." Xiao Tong immediately told him to shut up.
He was furious. Every time he saw a truck coming from the opposite direction, he wished he could crash into it and cause an accident so that they wouldn't be able to complete their mission.
However, he was still timid and dared not risk his life.
Who can guarantee they'll be unharmed if they crash into a truck?
