Department of Engine Design, Class 30.

"Where are the people? Where are they?"

Director Tong personally led the team to Class 30. As soon as he arrived at the door, he yelled, scaring the teacher of Class 30 so much that his glasses almost fell to the ground.

"Tong... Dean Tong?" Seeing the stern and intimidating dean, the tutor became very excited and his face flushed red.

Because Director Tong came to Class 30 only a few times throughout the year, even the instructor thought that being assigned to Class 30 was an alternative punishment for him.

However, let alone the department head, he didn't offend any of the tutors of other classes. This tutor immediately put on a pitiful look.

"Where is the person?" Director Tong seemed not to have seen the tutor, and his eyes were already scanning the classroom.

However, the students were still doing their homework and had not left the cabin. The only person who left the cabin, Lin Tao, had already gone to the maintenance department.

"Huh? Who is it?" The instructor was stunned. Something in his mind moved him, and he couldn't help but ask, "Dean Tong, are you also here to look for the student named Lin Tao?"

Long before Director Tong, someone came looking for a student named Lin Tao, but Lin Tao had already left by then. The man asked a few more questions in a hurry, then left his confused mentor behind and ran towards the elevator.

At this moment, Director Tong came over to ask someone again. Could it be that he was also looking for this Lin Tao? "Yes, it's him. Where did he go?" Director Tong asked anxiously.

"How should I know?" The tutor was puzzled. Seeing Director Tong's expression suddenly change, he quickly explained: "Director Tong, Lin Tao has already said that he is not from our department."

Puff! It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned it. As soon as he mentioned this Director Tong, he almost vomited blood. The faces of the instructors behind him all turned green and red.

You know, the X-33 engine is a century-old problem for engine designers, and the person who solved this problem was not from their engine design department!

This is like a bystander walking up to you and saying, I'm just a bystander, but it's not a big deal if I can help you solve your professional problems.

Damn it! Is he here to show off or to embarrass the engine design department because they don’t have anyone? He is simply slapping the face of the engine design department! That is why Director Tong rushed over in a hurry. He took a few breaths and slowed down his breathing. The blush on his face also faded: "Did he say which department he is from?"

Director Tong was still hoping in his heart that this Lin Tao was not that Lin Tao.

"He asked me about Du Ruizhi, who just transferred in yesterday. I told him he was in Class 4, and then he ran away," said the tutor.

Puff! Just as he recovered, Director Tong finally couldn't help but spurt out the blood that had been suppressed in his body for a long time, spraying the instructor in front of him into a bloody mess.

"Uh~" The instructor was dumbfounded.

Go find Du Ruizhi? Apparently this Lin Tao was the Lin Tao he had been afraid to identify. Director Tong rolled his eyes, his body softened, and he fainted on the spot.

The tutors were shocked and rushed forward to pinch the Ren Zhong point, some called for the school doctor, and the whole place was in chaos.

After a lot of effort, Director Tong finally regained his composure. He seemed to have thought of something and shouted repeatedly: "Go... go to the Materials Department... Materials Department..."

…

…

At this time, Lin Tao was in the basement of the maintenance department.

"Crane number one pulls up fifty points."

"Crane number two is down twenty minutes."

"Crane No. 3 and No. 4 dropped one meter at the same time."

"Okay, now let's start disassembling the cockpit..."

…

Under the guidance of their instructor, the students placed the huge tiger-shaped aircraft in mid-air, revealing the cockpit emitting a metallic glow under the lights.

Lin Tao glanced at the tiger-shaped machine under the huge crane, and his eyes flashed.

The purely mechanical models of this era are not friendly to maintenance workers. For example, if one of the four limbs of the tiger-shaped machine in front of us fails, if we cannot judge it at the moment, it is not as simple as just disassembling the leg, and we may even have to disassemble most of the entire machine to find the root cause of the problem.

It's just a minor fault that requires so much trouble. You can imagine how heavy the workload of maintenance workers is.

This situation can only be solved when a modular model aircraft appears.

The so-called modular mode is to disassemble the entire aircraft into multiple parts and assemble them in the manner of stacking building blocks. In this way, if any component of the assembled aircraft fails, you only need to replace that component as a whole, and you can return to the battlefield in a short time.

When the modular model first appeared, it was still relatively primitive, and the entire body was roughly divided into 5-10 huge parts. Fortunately, when it was launched, the escape of the Eight Great Families happened to break out, causing the Interstellar Federation to fall into a large-scale war. This allowed it to be vigorously promoted and continuously developed. Until the era in which Lin Tao lived in later generations, a body would at least be disassembled into hundreds of parts.

Generally speaking, these replaced huge components also adopt the parts module model, and the repair process can be completed quickly as long as the faulty part is found.

This model also has a most critical problem, which is the interconnection between the parts of each module.

Just like in this era, Lin Tao's mentor Liu Xueying, when just launching this model, also thought of many ways, but finally adopted the original wiring method. It was not until it was vigorously developed later that it developed into the magnetic chip method.

In Lin Tao's memory, the real solution to this contact problem would have to be pushed back several hundred years, until a mysterious mineral was discovered in the starry sky and successfully refined, and only then could it be completely solved.

For a modular body, even a mecha technician can easily determine where the fault is and replace it by himself. The replaced components will be handed over to the maintenance technician. In this way, the maintenance technician no longer needs to face the huge body and only needs to repair the components on hand.

The simplified process not only brings convenience to maintenance technicians, but also completely changes the mecha industry.

As he was pondering, Lin Tao suddenly felt someone patting his shoulder.

"My classmate, you seem to be quite strong, why don't you go over and help me?"

Lin Tao turned around and saw that the person who came was the instructor who had previously taught the students how to dismantle the aircraft. The instructor looked Lin Tao up and down and said, "Your body is just right for being a repairman. You made the right choice to come to our maintenance department. Well, this job really belongs to you."

The instructor pointed to the cockpit, which was still a long way from reaching the ground, and said, "Go over and help lower the cockpit safely to the ground."

After hearing this, Lin Tao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This body strengthened by genetic enhancement drugs was exactly the first choice for a mecha master. It was the first time he heard that it was suitable for being a maintenance worker.

However, Lin Tao is also interested in purely mechanical structures, which are simply basic parts that have been enlarged in later generations.

This time, Lin Tao originally planned to find Du Ruiming and Bai Fan, but he didn't find them. Instead, he encountered this incident. He had no choice but to step forward and help.

"Very good, a little to the left." The instructor instructed loudly: "A little more to the right, about ten points."

The disassembled parts cannot be placed randomly, otherwise this disassembly instruction will be of no use.

Although it was lifted by a crane, the cockpit was still quite heavy. Even with his strengthened body, Lin Tao still expended a lot of effort before he safely lowered the cockpit to the designated ground.

"Stop for a moment, stop for a moment."

Just then, a voice shouting "Stop" came from outside the door.

Everyone turned around and saw a group of people walking in quickly.

Lin Tao recognized that the leader was none other than the head of the Maintenance Department, Tian Zhi, who had once scolded him. However, he could not recognize any of the people following behind him. However, from their clothes, he could still tell that they were students of the First Mecha Academy.

"What's going on?" Lin Tao asked puzzledly.

"Director Tian, ​​why are you here?" When the tutor saw him, he hurried to greet him.

"Director Tian!"

A group of students shouted in unison.

"Okay, you guys calm down for a moment." Dean Tian Zhi nodded, raised his hand to quiet everyone down, pointed at the people behind him and said, "They are students from the Framework Design Department. Take them to study the Flying Tiger God of War."

"Director Tian, ​​our Director Sun's requirement is to conduct a comprehensive study of the exterior framework of the Flying Tiger God of War." The leader of the group of students from the Framework Design Department added politely and courteously.

"Hmph." Department Head Tian Zhi snorted without explaining.

"Research framework?" The instructor looked at the Flying Tiger Warrior that had just had its cockpit removed and frowned slightly: "Director Tian, ​​but we have already disassembled the aircraft into this state..."

"Then install it back first. Anyway, this machine will be here for at least a month, so there is no rush." ​​Dean Tian Zhi turned his head and looked at the students who were dissatisfied, and coughed again: "Well, I know how you feel, but this time the Framework Design Department has provided our Maintenance Department with 20 million research funds, so the next step is to allocate 10 million to rent a humanoid machine from the military so that you can study it."

When the dissatisfied students heard that they wanted to rent a humanoid robot, they were stunned for a moment, and then cheered.

"As for which aircraft to rent, the decision is up to you guys. I hope you can reach a consensus tomorrow." Dean Tian Zhi smiled and said, "Of course, you also understand that some special aircraft may not be available for rent, so don't be too greedy."

Dean Tian Zhi's statement immediately made the students excited again, and the atmosphere in the whole class became lively, except for the students in the Framework Design Department, who all had gloomy faces.

Twenty million star coins, this is two-thirds of the sponsorship money given to their Framework Design Department by Sixiang Company. In a blink of an eye, it was cheated by the department director Tian Zhi. The money was also used to rent a humanoid machine. Even their Framework Design Department rarely comes into contact with this kind of machine. It seems that their director Sun will definitely be cheated of another sum of so-called research funds.

"Class One? Flying Tiger God of War?"

Lin Tao, who was standing next to the cockpit that had just been unloaded, was also a little embarrassed. He touched his nose and felt that he had entered the wrong class again. He should have gone to Class 15.

How did you get to Class 1?

However, the Flying Tiger God of War? Lin Tao's eyes fell on the half-tiger-shaped machine still hanging in the air. This machine was a higher level than the white war tiger.
