"We found the old leader." An Jingzhi said as he dismantled the thing slowly. In less than a moment, he had dismantled it into pieces. After finding what they wanted, several people followed him back to the plane that was waiting to be repaired.
Looking at the people walking towards the iron gate, the base personnel waiting at the original venue smiled happily.
The original few foreign maintenance personnel were still standing there with their arms folded.
Without even giving them a glance, they happily followed An Jingzhi to the side of the plane.
An Jingzhi directed An Guosheng, "Dad, help me get wrench No. 6."
"Master Li, please help me hold down the wing head."
"Master Zhang..."
Everyone present was driven around by his command.
Seeing that the other party was calmly restoring the previously removed parts step by step, the faces of the foreign maintenance workers were no longer as contemptuous as before.
They couldn't help but take a few steps closer and carefully observe An Jingzhi's operations.
An Jingzhi dismantled all the original parts, put the damaged parts aside and replaced them with the old parts he found.
Several old masters had already developed a tacit understanding in advance and completed An Jingzhi's instructions meticulously.
It took an hour, and even though it was winter, everyone was busy and sweating.
He slowly climbed down the ladder, brushed the dust off his hands, and wiped the engine oil off his fingertips.
He wiped it with a piece of cloth and sat directly in the driver's seat.
After turning on the control buttons one by one, the base staff anxiously pulled the old man next to them and said, "How did you get in? Let's find a pilot to try it out."
An Guosheng said proudly, "My son can fly a plane."
The base staff immediately showed a look of astonishment.
An Guosheng received a few more envious glances and looked at his son sitting in the cockpit of the plane with satisfaction.
An Jingzhi had no intention of flying the plane. He just needed to turn on some of the plane's functions to confirm. After checking for a while and listening carefully, and after confirming that the wings did not make any unusual noises, he stepped out of the cabin.
"I finally lived up to your expectations."
Before Chen Hongjiang asked, An Jingzhi took the initiative to speak.
The base pilot and the base manager who had been waiting quietly nearby came up to greet An Jingzhi.
"Researcher An, is the plane repaired?" A middle-aged man with a resolute face walked up and asked.
An Jingzhi smiled and nodded, "Yes, I have just checked it. The fault of the plane has been repaired and it can take off at any time."
Chen Hongjiang burst into laughter. "Okay, okay, this thing is finally done."
The maintenance personnel who watched the whole process from beginning to end were surprised and kept saying: Impossible, this is impossible.
But even the person in charge of the base ignored them and warmly entertained An Jingzhi. While asking him about the plane, he asked the Chinese maintenance personnel from the nearby base to study carefully.
He knew some inside information, and if he could learn a few tricks from the young man in front of him, it would be of great benefit to them.
The Chinese maintenance workers listened very carefully. They had been sent to learn from several foreign maintenance workers before, but those foreign maintenance workers did not teach them much at all.
On weekdays, they are just treated as servants to run errands.
"In situations like today, you just need to open the wings and check..."
"Finally, I confirmed that there was no harsh vibration sound from the fuselage..."
Several people wrote and took notes at the same time, and finally three people were left to take notes, while the others all listened attentively.
Before they knew it, it was noon. Looking at the watch, the head of the base said, "Researcher An, why don't you stay with us for lunch? You've helped us so much, how can we not treat you to a meal?"
An Jingzhi waved his hand and said, "We are all serving the country. You don't have to be so polite."
The food for pilots is very good, and the original owner, who used to be a pilot, knows it best.
"Yes, yes, yes." The base commander's smile grew even wider. "But we still have to eat this meal. Otherwise, if we have any problems in the future, how can we ask you for help?"
Chen Hongjiang immediately glared at him and said, "Don't bother Jingzhi. He has his own things to do."
The base commander looked at An Jingzhi with a smile on his face, "Don't worry, Researcher An, we won't bother you unless it's something serious."
An Jingzhi looked at the two men arguing with each other and laughed dumbly. "Okay." He turned to Chen Hongjiang and said, "It's okay, old leader. I'm really not as busy as you think. Besides, you won't need me for long."
Chen Hongjiang understood that An Jingzhi was talking about the K49's production. When the K49 was officially put into use, would they be able to manufacture the K49 and still not be able to repair it? By then, the country would definitely consciously train a group of maintenance personnel, and An Jingzhi would indeed be of no use.
After repeated invitations from the base commander, An Jingzhi had no choice but to agree and went to the pilots' canteen with several veteran pilots.
The base director paid for it out of his own pocket. Although the base offered discounts on food, hiring more than a dozen people at once probably cost them more than half a month's salary.
"Researcher An, you finally saved me a lot of money." Although it cost him half a month's salary, the base director felt it was worth it because he didn't have to meet the unreasonable demands of those foreign researchers.
He spent the money willingly.
"Don't say that. You're too polite. This is what I should do." An Jingzhi said humbly.
"Well, let's wait a little longer." Chen Hongjiang obviously also knew the inside story.
The base also received some rumors, but there was no definite news. Seeing Chen Hongjiang's expression, he smiled calmly.
An Guosheng and the others sat nearby, watching An Jingzhi chatting and laughing with the base commander and Chen Hongjiang, and praised him:
"Researcher An is amazing! We old guys have been puzzling over it for days and haven't figured it out, but he took one look and found the problem in less than half an hour."
"Why do they say everyone has their own specialties? Aren't those foreigners just holding us back on this?"
A few people were talking and changed the subject.
"You know what, the food at this flight base is really good."
"How can it be bad? The pilots in our country are risking their lives, so of course we have to try our best to provide them with the best treatment." Master Li said in a heavy tone.
After hearing this, several people fell silent.
Not only are China's aircraft backward and outdated, but there are not enough of them. However, the missions performed by Chinese pilots are the most difficult.
Many missions are a sure-shot death.
"Don't be so discouraged, everyone," An Guosheng said, taking the initiative to liven up the atmosphere. "Isn't our country getting better and better? In the future, we can build as many planes as we want."
Several old masters thought of the plane that An Jingzhi had helped them build, and their smiles suddenly appeared on their faces again.
