Renderings and design drawings are not the same thing.
How to say it.
The renderings can be done as you like, and you can directly apply some design plans in your mind to the graphics. However, once you design according to the renderings, you still need to face many aspects. If one is not good, the design will not be possible.
Just like architecture, the design can be as beautiful as the renderings, but when it comes to actual construction, all kinds of problems will emerge, such as technical aspects and some small details that were originally overlooked.
All these problems may even result in only an unfinished building being left.
The same is true for the renderings and designs of the aircraft. The renderings can be seen immediately, but the designs need to be designed repeatedly and some key details must be resolved before they can be produced.
There are so many things involved that one can see from the First Mecha Academy alone that, for example, the body design part has been divided into many departments.
The design of an aircraft cannot be perfectly designed by simply mastering the frame or the engine.
Upon hearing that Lin Tao had already prepared the design drawings, not only the department heads were stunned, but the dean was also stunned for a moment.
At this time, Lin Tao had projected the design drawing again.
The aircraft design drawings of this era are not as simple as those of later generations, which are simply piled up. Instead, they involve various aspects, including drawings of various design departments and three-dimensional drawings of the corresponding parts required.
In the blink of an eye, pictures flashed by in the air.
"This...is this really the overall design?" The dean opened his mouth wide.
"How...how is it possible?" Even Director Tong didn't quite believe it.
"This can't be true?"
…
A group of department heads and deans stood there in a daze.
Lin Tao spent nearly an entire night drawing this aircraft bit by bit using a watch.
"Dean of the departments present here, please send me your contact numbers and I will send the corresponding drawings of each part to your watches." Lin Tao said with a smile.
The department heads were suddenly startled and reacted quickly. They hurriedly sent their contact numbers to Lin Tao and also indicated the departments they were in.
They were anxious and wanted to see the design drawings of the mecha in front of them immediately, especially Director Tong of the Engine Design Department, Director Hu Wei of the Electronic Design Department, and the dean.
Compared with previous machines, Lin Tao's machine has many breakthroughs, such as in terms of frame, engine, and energy, and these three people are just focusing on these three aspects.
The three of them felt like they were being scratched by a cat.
After a while, Lin Tao sent the design drawings of every aspect of the aircraft to the watches of the department heads and the dean.
"Dean of departments, deans, do you think this machine can be designed?" Lin Tao asked.
Silence! The entire dean's office was silent! Everyone's attention was focused on the watch, and no one paid any attention to Lin Tao's words.
Well, Lin Tao frowned and had to stand still.
I don’t know how much time passed.
"Great, really great, this design is truly extraordinary." The dean was experienced and finished reading the design drawings in a short time.
Of course, there are not many things involved in the frame. The most important thing is the weight ratio and the position of various parts, so you can see it almost at a glance.
"Lin Tao, what do you think?" The dean asked repeatedly, his beard shaking with excitement.
What was he thinking? Lin Tao seemed to have no idea what the chief designer of this design was thinking, because he just copied it down according to his memory.
What was that man's name?
Lin Tao frowned. Oh, yes, his name seemed to be Zeng Xiao, and he should still be working at the Sixiang Mecha Company.
Oops, I forgot to ask Liang Zeyu to pay attention to this person.
However, to be the chief designer of Sixiang Mecha Company, he should be a great figure. I hope I can see this person as soon as I arrive at Sixiang Mecha Company.
Lin Tao thought.
At this time, many department heads also raised their heads and stared at Lin Tao, almost wanting to drag Lin Tao to their departments on the spot.
You know, Lin Tao left a question in the Department of Materials, and solved the problem of the X-33 engine in the Department of Engine Design. If Lin Tao were to go to their department, would he also make some achievements? The department heads stared at Lin Tao with wolf-like eyes.
Lin Tao's scalp tingled from being stared at.
Fortunately, the dean noticed that the department heads had also finished reading the blueprints, and he couldn't help but cough twice: "Dear department heads, after reading the blueprints, what do you think is the probability of this machine being designed?"
Director Tong spoke first. He let out a long sigh and said, "As for the engine, I think there is an 80% chance that it can pass the engine test."
"This machine adopts a triple energy design, and I think the design method adopted is feasible." Department Head Hu Wei also nodded.
"Although the chassis has added a lot of weight, if the small engine can work, the combination of the two will definitely be able to deliver performance that is no less than any current bionic machine." Rui Zhi from the chassis department also nodded.
Soon, the heads of each department expressed their opinions one by one, and all agreed that this aircraft had an 80% chance of success.
"Dean, let me put it this way. As long as we take these drawings back and wait for them to be transferred to the computer, we will probably be able to apply for a production batch number." Director Tong nodded affirmatively.
"What Director Tong said is right, and I believe that with the drawings we have on hand, they can definitely be reviewed on the computer." Dean Su Juncheng of the Department of Mechanical Fundamentals almost patted his chest to make the promise.
He had seen many mecha blueprints and had a lot of experience, so he could roughly tell the success rate of the machine.
"Since everyone says so, let's go back and test it right after the meeting. If everything passes, we will help Lin Tao apply for a production batch number right away." The dean was very satisfied.
"Apply for a production batch number immediately?" Lu Xuewen was stunned. Doesn't this seem a bit too hasty?
It seems like the incident involving Lu Zhengyang from the Framework Design Department happened just a few days ago.
Seeing everyone looking at him with doubtful eyes, the dean coughed again and said, "Oh, by the way, there is one more thing I forgot to tell you. Yesterday, the people from the Blood Wolf Gang saw this blueprint at Lin Tao's place..."
Before the dean had finished speaking, the heads of the departments suddenly started shouting.
"What? Did the Blood Wolf Gang also see the blueprints?"
"What on earth do these wolf cubs want to do? Are they trying to sell the blueprints?"
"Yeah, these guys just captured Lin Tao, what are they planning to do now?"
…
A number of department heads stood on Lin Tao's side.
Everyone has seen Lin Tao's potential. He is truly the 'number one in the academy'. Once he becomes famous, he will be no less famous than Master Gu Lei.
Right now, their academy is in need of a figure similar to Master Gu Lei, and Lin Tao is exactly the candidate they have in mind.
Putting all these aside, just based on Lin Tao's performance in the Department of Materials and the Department of Engine Design, many department heads wanted to bring Lin Tao back to their departments to see if he could perform well. Who knows, maybe the next department to become famous will be theirs.
Cough cough!
The dean coughed again, causing everyone to quiet down temporarily.
"The Blood Wolf Gang owns 10% of the shares of the Four Elephants Mecha Company, so they plan to submit the drawings to the Star Mansion in order to obtain 30% of the shares and let Lin Tao become the chief CEO of the Four Elephants Mecha Company." The dean said softly.
"No way? Are they really such a good person? And he is the top CEO?"
"It's hard to say. After all, the Blood Wolf Gang owns 10% of the shares."
"Lin Tao is our 'number one in the academy'. If we want to make amends to Lin Tao, maybe it's possible."
The department heads were discussing this again.
"By the way, who is the new leader of the Blood Wolf Gang?" Director Tong suddenly frowned slightly.
"I think his name is Zheng Tuo." Dean Rui Zhi answered. As soon as he finished speaking, his pupils shrank again: "Zheng Tuo? This name seems familiar..."
"I understand." Suddenly, Department Head Hu Wei screamed, attracting everyone's attention.
"Wasn't the Four Elephants Mecha Company suppressed by the Black Wolf Mecha Company some time ago? I heard that it was caused by the incompetence of the current CEO. Even the Liu family wanted to change people. Maybe the Blood Wolf Gang saw this design and Lin Tao's potential, so they mentioned it casually?" Hu Wei said.
As soon as these words came out, the dean's heart tightened and he turned around quickly: "Lin Tao, are they seeing the renderings or the master design drawings?"
Everyone looked at Lin Tao again.
This is a crucial point. If it is just a rendering, the other party may just mention it verbally and not take it to heart. However, if it is a general design drawing, it is hard to say.
Lin Tao groaned and pretended to think for a moment, "I was drawing the blueprint at the time, and when the man named Zheng Tuo saw it, he said he wanted to send it to Xingfu to have a look. He even took a few photos at the time."
Zheng Tuo and Lin Tao have already arranged everything and are just waiting for the dean and others to propose to the Liu family, so the Xing Mansion has already agreed 100%.
"It seems that the people of the Blood Wolf Gang have been dissatisfied with the Four Elephants Mecha Company for a long time." Lu Xuewen said.
Everyone agreed.
"Oh, by the way, could this Zheng Tuo be the one from Xing Mansion..." Suddenly, Director Tong was startled and looked towards the dean.
The dean stroked his beard and nodded without saying anything.
"Haha~" Director Tong laughed: "It seems that Xingfu will definitely agree. In this way, Lin Tao can at least get 40% of the equity support. I think it won't be a problem for him to be promoted to the top CEO of Sixiang Mecha Company."
The department heads present all had connections, and they understood immediately after a moment of thought.
"Hehe~40%?" Suddenly, the dean looked around and chuckled: "Do you think 40% will allow Lin Tao to play his role in the Four Elephants Mecha Company?"
Everyone was stunned, as if they had thought of something, and suddenly they all fell silent and fell into deep thought.
Director Tong reacted quickly. His eyes flickered a few times and suddenly lit up. He asked, "Dean, do you want to..."
"That's right. Lin Tao is from our First Mecha Academy. If he can have enough support to be promoted to the top CEO of the Four Elephants Mecha Company, the Lu Zhengyang incident a while ago will not happen again in the future."
The dean said in a deep voice.
