If the White War Tiger is a standard mass-produced aircraft, then the Flying Tiger War God is a customized aircraft built on this model. The performance of the two is not at the same level.

After seeing high-performance machines, why would you choose a junk machine?

At the same time, after listening to what Department Head Tian Zhi said, Lin Tao liked him more and more, because after obtaining huge funds, he actually used them immediately on students. If he had known earlier, he would have chosen the Maintenance Department and would not have been assigned to a lower class in the Materials Department.

Thinking of this, Lin Tao suddenly felt contempt for the head of the Materials Department.

After sending the person over, Department Head Tian Zhi said a few more casual words and then turned to leave.

But before he could take a step, the leader of the group of framework design students called him back: "Director Tian, ​​according to the agreement between you and our Director Sun, do you need to give us some advice on the framework design of the Flying Tiger War God?"

Upon hearing this, Dean Tian Zhi's face turned red and he snorted awkwardly: "I'm just a maintenance engineer. I don't understand frame design."

"But our Director Sun has already provided 20 million in sponsorship funds, and you have also agreed to this additional condition." The student, who obviously had a certain status in the Frame Design Department, actually embarrassed Director Tian Zhi in front of a group of Maintenance Department students.

However, although Dean Tian Zhi was dissatisfied, he still stayed after snorting heavily.

The maintenance students present, including the instructor, did not seem surprised by this. Instead, they covered their mouths and laughed secretly.

"I never thought that the No. 1 Mecha Academy would actually have private transactions."

Lin Tao also understood by now. It turned out that the 20 million yuan of funds had an additional condition, which forced Department Head Tian Zhi to instruct these students of the Framework Design Department.

Lin Tao shook his head.

Suddenly, Lin Tao's expression tightened and his eyes narrowed.

In later generations, Lin Tao would take a look at every aircraft that was recorded in later documents.

After the Flying Tiger War God achieved a series of brilliant achievements in the exploration of new planets in outer space, the Four Elephants Company planned to standardize it for mass production to replace the white war tiger. However, as soon as the new model was released, it had defects, making its successor model a nightmare for mecha pilots, and directly ruined the name of the Flying Tiger War God.

Lin Tao clearly remembered that the defects of the Flying Tiger God of War did not come from the mechanical parts. After investigation, it was found that they were caused by the design of the appearance frame.

Lin Tao could remember it so clearly because of a sentence that recorded the incident: 'Due to problems with the subsequent body frame design of the Flying Tiger, the then director of the maintenance department of the First Mecha Academy resigned and apologized.'

Just from the literal meaning, Lin Tao felt strange at the time. What connection could the frame design of the aircraft have with the maintenance department?

Due to the strangeness of the incident, Lin Tao once tried to find out the truth of the matter. Unfortunately, due to the long time, there were not many records about it in later materials, and in the end, the matter was left unresolved.

"Could this be the real reason?"

Lin Tao remained calm and glanced at the student from the Framework Design Department.

At this time, Dean Tian Zhi also instructed the instructor: "Since they want to study the body frame, you should also make arrangements to restore the Flying Tiger God of War."

"Director Tian, ​​don't worry." The instructor assured, patting his chest.

Under the guidance of their instructor, the students immediately began the task of restoring the half-disassembled Flying Tiger.

Lin Tao still plays a leading role and assists in the assembly of the machine.

There is nothing that can be done about it. After all, Lin Tao, with his explosive muscles, is the only person in the entire maintenance department who seems to have endless energy.

"Huh?" At this time, Dean Tian Zhi finally noticed Lin Tao's presence. He was shocked and frowned secretly: "Why did this guy come to our Maintenance Department instead of staying in the Materials Department to attend classes? He even dared to sneak into Class 1. He is really a troublemaker!"

The First Mecha Academy has a very strict class grading system. Not only will students switch departments, but even students who switch classes randomly will be severely punished.

Lin Tao came to the maintenance department at this moment. If he was recognized, he would definitely be in a lot of trouble.

Thinking of Master Gu Lei's instructions, Dean Tian Zhi shook his head helplessly: "Forget it, if this kid is really going to be recognized, we should just protect him for the time being."

Not long after, the Flying Tiger God of War returned to its original state.

This is a pure white aircraft with a tiger-shaped body and a four-limb chassis. In order to highlight the name of the god of war, a pair of flying wings are installed on its back, giving it the ability to fly in the air.

This type of organism is very suitable for the exploration of the interior of ordinary planets.

Seeing that the Flying Tiger Warrior had recovered, Dean Tian Zhi instructed the instructor: "Let them go back to the classroom to study first."

Before the instructor nodded, the student from the framework design department suddenly spoke up: "Director Tian, ​​we are just framework designers. We only know how to design frameworks, so some things may bother you. Since they will study on their own when they go back, why don't you stay for a while."

His words were very hypocritical, but very polite. Department Head Tian Zhi couldn't refuse, so he frowned slightly and agreed.

Lin Tao didn't say anything, but just glanced at the other person secretly.

With this person as the leader, the people in the frame design department surrounded the Flying Tiger War God and conducted research and design on the frame appearance.

From the drawing board to the production of a mecha, the appearance plays a very important prerequisite role. Attack, defense and speed are the three directions of the body, and the general framework determines which route the body will take.

Although the Flying Tiger is mainly used for land combat, the addition of flying wings gives it the ability to fly in the air, making it an air-to-land dual-purpose aircraft with good performance.

Generally speaking, if one wants to make a new frame design for an aircraft, one would start with its flying performance.

It turned out to be true.

"Brother Zhengyang, after the Flying Tiger God of War added the wings, most of its actions can be completed in the air. Why don't we strengthen this aspect?"

"That won't do. The Flying Tiger War God is based on the White War Tiger. At its core, it is still a land-based aircraft. If its flying capability is enhanced, its advantage in land combat will inevitably be weakened. Will the new aircraft designed in this way still be the Flying Tiger War God?"

"Since he's called the Flying Tiger God of War, then of course his main ability is to fly in the air?"

"No, no, it's better to focus on strengthening land capabilities..."

…

…

There were not many students in the framework design department, but soon two opposing sides were formed: air and land, and a heated discussion was launched based on this.

The man called "Senior Brother Zhengyang" remained silent. He frowned and walked around the Flying Tiger God of War again and again. Finally, he stopped in front of Dean Tian Zhi and asked with a smile, "Dean Tian, ​​can you give us a hint?"

Lin Tao raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

"I'm from the maintenance department, and you want me to do the frame design?" Dean Tian Zhi shook his head: "Lu Zhengyang, you were recruited into Sixiang Company as a frame designer, why are you being so stupid now?"

"Really, if our Director Tian also understands frame design, why is he relegated to the maintenance department?" The tutor also laughed.

Lu Zhengyang smiled slightly and said nothing, but his expression revealed a barely perceptible annoyance.

"Well, this Lu Zhengyang coming to the maintenance department, couldn't it be a deliberate arrangement, and he wants to put the blame on old man Tian?" Lin Tao saw it and felt suspicious.

Suddenly, Lin Tao's eyes tightened. He could clearly see that although Lu Zhengyang had been circling around the Flying Tiger War God, his eyes were always on the Flying Tiger War God's limbs.

"Hehe~" Suddenly, Lin Tao understood what was going on and couldn't help but sneer.

According to later records, the weakness of the frame design of the Flying Tiger War God follow-up aircraft, which was a standardized improvement, came from the limb chassis. As we all know, aerial aircraft are generally lightweight, but due to technical limitations on materials, the aircraft can only significantly reduce the use of materials to reduce weight.

As an air-to-land amphibious aircraft, the Flying Tiger War God still retains many characteristics of land combat aircraft, including defense. However, in order to enhance its flight capability, its subsequent improved versions have greatly weakened its use of materials to reduce weight. As a result, major mistakes have been made, making the improved Flying Tiger War God a veritable iron coffin. After causing nearly a hundred deaths of mecha pilots, it was hated by mecha pilots, and finally directly caused the decline of the name Flying Tiger War God.

Obviously, Lu Zhengyang already had a design plan for the subsequent models in his mind, but due to certain factors, he had not been able to make up his mind.

This time he came to the maintenance department, it was probably a long-term plan, and his purpose was to find someone to guarantee him as a scapegoat so that he could bear the consequences of possible mistakes in the future.

But why didn't this guy look for the head of the Framework Design Department? Lin Tao frowned.

Although model improvements may fail, if they succeed, the consequences are dazzling enough to make a framework designer's name in history.

After a while, Lu Zhengyang finally stopped. He pretended to listen to the discussion of his classmates. At the same time, he held an electronic notebook in his hand and kept revising and drawing on it.

Near the end of get out of class.

Lu Zhengyang finally stopped and stopped everyone's discussion: "After listening to everyone's discussion, I also think that the improvement of the Flying Tiger God of War should focus on its flying performance. Look, this is one of the plans. Everyone, take a look at it first and also give your own ideas."

Lu Zhengyang handed the electronic notebook in his hand to his colleagues.

"Reduce the weight? Good, this will enhance the flying ability of the Flying Tiger God of War."

"Well, such improvements can indeed enhance the performance of the Flying Tiger War God."

"The flying body is mainly light, and in the absence of new lightweight materials, this method is still feasible."

…

Everyone passed it around and nodded, without any objection.

Seeing this, Lu Zhengyang took the electronic notebook and handed it to Dean Tian Zhi with a smile: "Dean Tian, ​​I wonder if this design can be used to improve the new aircraft? Please give me your opinion."

Are they coming? Hearing this, Lin Tao narrowed his eyes. Lu Zhengyang finally took action.
