The computer in the cabin started up very quickly and entered the question bank in a moment.

Lin Tao took a look and found that the questions at the beginning were all some basic knowledge about engine design. Well, generally speaking, the question bank starts from the easy ones and gradually increases in difficulty.

Although the emergence of space creatures, the rapid development of science and technology, and the maturity of mecha technology have led to the improvement of mecha engine technology by several levels in later generations, so that the early data has long been abandoned, a lot of it has been recorded. Moreover, there were only a few theories on engine design that were used until the time when Lin Tao was born.

These questions about basic knowledge are not difficult for Lin Tao.

I did about ten questions like this.

Finally, the difficulty increased.

"Please analyze the performance of the engine based on its design."

Along with the title, a design drawing of the engine was also given.

Lin Tao took a look and couldn't help but frowned, saying to himself: "Strange."

Judging from the drawings, even if this engine is produced, it will not be very large and does not look like an engine used in mechas at all.

"Oh, this is the engine of the hover car." After a while, Lin Tao slapped his forehead. This kind of small engine can only be used in hover cars.

"The engine of the hover car?" Lin Tao narrowed his eyes slightly. The original owner of this body, due to the instigation of Chi Zhengfei and others, helped Liu Zhengwei to modify the engine of the hover car. However, due to physical reasons, the engine modification failed, and he was beaten and died in the rental house. This led to the arrival of Lin Tao from later generations.

Unexpectedly, Lin Tao actually saw the engine design drawing of the hover car here.

However, since he knew that this was the engine diagram of a hover car, Lin Tao picked up his pen and started writing on the computer screen, writing down a standard answer.

As Lin Tao put pen to paper, the next question appeared in less than ten seconds: "Based on the previous drawing, list at least three defects of the engine."

The flaws of the hover car engine?

Lin Tao grinned and laughed. There was no need to think about this kind of question because the engine used in the hover car had many more defects than the engine used in the mecha.

In a short while, Lin Tao had listed more than ten defects, and due to space limitations, he was not able to fill in all the defects one by one.

Obviously, this question is a multiple-choice question of difficulty.

As the number of defects listed by Lin Tao increased, the difficulty of the next question increased again.

"Based on the drawings, please point out any design errors and try to improve the engine design on the drawings."

"Huh?" Lin Tao exclaimed softly. The drawing that appeared in front of him was obviously an incomplete drawing. The engine shown on it was also an unfinished engine.

However, what surprised Lin Tao was not the question, but the engine given on the incomplete drawing. This engine seemed somewhat familiar to him.

Lin Tao crossed his arms, held his chin, and thought for a long time.

Finally, a similar engine blueprint emerged in his mind, and he couldn't help but wonder: "Isn't this the X-33 engine?"

The X-33 engine is a relatively famous engine in later generations, and it created a new engine system. Any student who studies engine design will talk specifically about this engine.

In the era of pure mechanical mode, this engine could not be manufactured due to various technical limitations. It was not until the era of neural module bodies that this engine was successfully developed due to technological innovation.

Because this is an engine that is infinitely close to a real aerodynamic engine.

As this engine was developed, many designers made various speculations about it, and finally came to a conclusion that in the era of pure mechanical mode, this engine could be produced, and many discussions were held on this.

Unfortunately, these discussions were mostly on paper. At that time, the battle with the star creatures had already begun in full swing, and no one was willing to use the limited resources to try to produce this engine in pure mechanical mode.

Now that he has come to this era, Lin Tao doesn't mind bringing out these advanced design ideas. Perhaps if he has the opportunity in the future, he will also make a purely mechanical X-33 engine.

After all, it was this engine that allowed the ancient martial arts mecha masters of later generations to unleash their strongest strength.

at the same time.

Engine Design Department, Tutor's Office.

A group of tutors were sitting around a small table. If Lin Tao were here, he would definitely be able to recognize the department head Tong Zhihe sitting right above him.

On the table, there was a pot of steaming tea.

"Dean, why did you assign Du Ruizhi to Class Four?" a tutor asked in confusion after taking a sip from his teacup.

The tea is good, but at this moment everyone's mind is obviously not on tea.

Department Head Tong Zhihe stroked his beard and smiled as he responded to this question: "Although Gu Lei and I don't get along well, and Lin Tao is too arrogant, Du Ruizhi was admitted to our Engine Design Department after all. According to her grades, she can barely get into Class 2, but she will definitely be at the top of Class 3. So I arranged her to Class 4 to see if her grades have fallen. If not, she can be arranged back to Class 3."

"I never thought that Director Tong could let bygones be bygones. It's rare, really rare."

"Yes, if it were me, I would probably put her in the lowest class."

"Only our Director Tong can do this. Didn't you see that Director Tong put aside his pride for the sake of Master Gu Lei?"

"That's right, looking at the entire First Mecha Academy, only Director Tong of our department has such a broad mind."

…

"Hahaha~" Director Tong's face turned red. He laughed and quickly picked up the teacup: "Let's not talk about this, let's not talk about this. Come on, let's drink tea."

Everyone picked up their teacups, took a sip, and soon changed the topic.

"It's another monthly test from the question bank. I wonder if anyone can be promoted to Class 1 this time?" said a tutor.

The Engine Design Department is different from the Materials Department. They arrange classes according to grades, and the monthly test based on the question bank solves this problem for them. Once a student's grades improve, he will be promoted to the next class immediately, while those whose grades decline will be demoted.

Therefore, Classes 1 and 2 of the Engine Design Department are truly classes that gather the top students in the entire department.

When it came to this topic, many instructors immediately recommended several promising candidates. Unfortunately, the classes they taught were a little behind the others and did not attract Director Tong's attention.

Beep beep!

Suddenly, a tutor's watch rang. He took a look and quickly stepped forward to Director Tong's side: "Director Tong, Ma Wenlin from Tianma Mecha Company has arrived at the school gate. Look..."

"Oh, it's Xiao Ma. Let him in." Director Tong pondered for a while, then immediately remembered this person and nodded, stroking his white beard.

The mecha companies would come to the First Mecha Academy every once in a while to recruit one or two people as interns. This would broaden the students' horizons, and it would also allow them to secretly collect information about the mecha companies' problems for research by the department.

At the same time, these students who are hired back are also likely to stay in the mecha company first after graduation.

Usually this is a win-win situation, and both parties are happy.

However, the Tianma Mecha Company was established not long ago. If it did not have a powerful background, it would have been notified long ago. I guess Director Tong has forgotten about this little Ma to some corner.

Not long after, Ma Wenlin from Tianma Company arrived.

"Director Tong." After being introduced by the tutor, Ma Wenlin came to Director Tong, and his attitude was so respectful that he almost worshipped Director Tong: "I have to trouble you again this time."

"What's the problem? Haha~" Director Tong smiled and waved his hands repeatedly: "It just so happens that today is the test bank. Let's see which of these students can perform outstandingly."

"Director Tong, you are too kind. As long as you give it to them, our Tianma Mecha Company will definitely hire them back with a high salary." Ma Wenlin complimented.

“Hahahaha~” Director Tong stroked his beard and laughed: “Don’t worry, we won’t deliberately make things difficult for you just because you were founded a short time ago. As long as a mecha company can come to us, our engine design department will treat you equally.”

"Director Tong has a good idea." Ma Wenlin raised his thumb and praised loudly.

Everyone burst into laughter again.

Suddenly, there was a rapid buzzing sound from the other end of the tutor's office.

Everyone was startled, and then seemed to have thought of something, and they all looked shocked. Director Tong's face turned red. He stood up suddenly, regardless of his age, and strode forward to the big screen on the other side of the tutor's room.

This screen is the computer control terminal of the entire engine design department, which is specifically responsible for controlling the contents of the question bank.

The rapid beeping was designed by Director Tong. Once there is an abnormality in the difficulty of the multiple-choice questions in the question bank, an alarm will be sounded. After Director Tong and a group of tutors have evaluated, they can decide whether to replace the questions with new ones or discover outstanding students from them.

At this time, a group of mentors also came to the big screen.

“This is the siren call of a difficult multiple-choice question.”

"Could it be that there is another top student in our department?"

"It's been almost a year since anyone has been able to trigger the alarm."

…

Under the heated discussion of the tutors, Director Tong also became a little excited, because once such an alarm sounded, it would be equivalent to the emergence of a top student in the Engine Design Department. This alarm had not been heard for nearly a whole year.

Ma Wenlin also walked over with surprise in his eyes, and at the same time he was inexplicably excited in his heart. Even he did not expect that he would encounter the rumored top student alarm during his first visit to the Engine Design Department. It seems that this trip was really worthwhile.

Director Tong suppressed his excitement and opened the alarm message that popped up on the big screen.

No surprise.

The question bank contents that appear on the screen are difficulty decision questions.

However, this time the question not only stunned Director Tong, but also the tutors present were stunned and stood there.

"First question?"

"Why is it the first question?"

"Half of the time for the exam has already passed. The students should have already finished nearly half of the questions, right? How could it be the first question?"
