Rebirth 09: Synthetic Male God

Chapter 310 "Engineering Knock"

About 24 days ago, the prototype crew shouted the slogan "30 days of hard work" and strived to complete the assembly of the first-generation aircraft within a month.

Now it's down to the wire.

When Zhou Rui first arrived, it had a frame full of empty rivet joints and exposed metal.

Like a Cinderella, she gradually puts on her costume and waits to amaze the audience.

The brand-new four-image MP3 material is covered one by one on the surface of the fuselage, covering most places. The charming metallic color is full of a sense of technology.

With the support of Zhou Rui and Wang De, the work in the last few days was extremely fast. When there was only one "Screw King", most of the time we were waiting for Wang De together. Now that there is "Screw Week", the whole team Manpower has been fully mobilized.

Zhou Rui once again entered a state of full strength. In order to obtain [Engineering Expert] before completion, Zhou Rui made a high-intensity allocation of time, temporarily shelving his energy investment in [Basic Electrical Engineering], and devoted himself to completing [Basic Electrical Engineering]. Basic Aeronautical Engineering].

Zhou Rui was able to gain a lot of experience while working in the 03 factory. During the rest of the time, he browsed through the aircraft manufacturing information that Rong Fei had accumulated over decades and gained more.

Finally, on the 28th day, all progress of this entry was achieved.

"Entry task [Basic Aviation Engineering], experience value +3, current progress (100/100), please collect it."

Zhou Rui put down his tools and exited the work area, looking like he was tired and wanted to take a rest.

"receive."

"Congratulations to the host, you have obtained the white entry [Engineering ([-])], entry effect"

Zhou Rui was still concentrating, so he didn't look at it more.

After hanging [Engineering ([-])] into the skill tree, and after the three small ones became medium ones, Zhou Rui directly clicked on the synthesis page and pulled four [Engineering] into it.

The four entries floated slowly, then dissolved and shattered, and the green light flashed away.

"Congratulations to the host, you have obtained the green entry [Engineering Expert]"

"[Engineering Expert] is a special 'recursive' entry that has a dismantling relationship with its sub-items. The sub-items exist independently. When there are less than four sub-items, the entry disappears. The more sub-items, the greater the ability of the entry. powerful."

"Entry effect: greatly increases engineering talent."

"Special effect of the entry 'Engineering Knock': Using tools as a medium (such as a wrench), knocking on engineering creations has a certain probability of getting an engineering judgment. The comprehensive judgment success rate is 10%. The cooling time is 24 hours. It is temporarily ignored when enabled. Damage to engineered objects.”

Zhou Rui frowned.

A bit unexpected. What is engineering judging?
What a vague statement.

According to international practice, give it a try first..
Zhou Rui picked up a wrench and left.

We have come to the most disappointing part of the engine, which is the AL-31 produced by Lao Maozi.

The people on the engine team were doing debugging and maintenance. When they saw Zhou Rui coming with a wrench, they were stunned for a while.

"Xiao Zhou, what are you doing?"

Are you trying to hit me?

Zhou Rui looked at the 40 cm long electroplated alloy wrench in his hand and felt that it was really inappropriate to knock someone's engine like this.
Although he was immune to damage to engineering creations when knocking, he probably wouldn't get a scratch even if he swung it round, but it seemed a bit too reckless, so he hung the wrench on his waist and took out a short ruler from his pocket.

"I'm measuring something."

If it was replaced with a short ruler, the shape would be much more reasonable. The man from the engine team nodded and ignored him.

Zhou Rui pretended to make gestures with a short ruler, then tapped lightly while others were not paying attention, and activated his ability at the same time.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but a percussive vibration appeared in my mind, traveling along the engine, like sonar, and finally returned to the image of the end of the short ruler.

Maybe it was the first time I used it. The system gave me more face, and the 10% judgment probability was actually successful.

"The engineering knock is being judged. The judgment is successful."

"Current engineering creation: Russian-made AL-31 aircraft engine" "Design target achievement rate: 96%"

"Performance indicator achievement rate: 82%"

"Remaining durability: 93%"

"Global technological level: relatively advanced (far ahead, relatively advanced, average, backward, obsolete.)"

A series of data filled Zhou Rui's system display.

It seems that unlike "Physical Touch" and "Chemical Smell", this ability does not display 10% of all information, but has a 10% probability of displaying all information.

But the next few lines caught Zhou Rui's attention.

"Weak link: the third blade of the sixth group of high-pressure turbine."

“检修建议：100小时内叶片出现变形几率为0.8%，200小时内为12%，300小时内为44%。”

"Castration status: castrated."

"Castration point: Among the 28 dual-oil centrifugal nozzles in the combustion chamber, 6 have caliber deviations, which affects the fuel supply efficiency."

“解决方案：1、更换离心式喷嘴（9分）。2、手工拓宽喷嘴口径（8分）。3、增大给油压力（6分）”

"Black Box: Not Detected."

"Black box cracking plan: not given."

Zhou Rui frowned.
Castrated?

There are problems with 28 out of 6, which is definitely not due to substandard workmanship. Zhou Rui trusts the judgment of the system.

Lao Maozi has not yet awakened, is he still playing this trick with the only reliable thigh in the world?
Zhou Rui directly asked the engine crew member next to him: "Do we have the right to repair this engine?"

The people in the engine team were stunned, a little helpless and a little emotional: "Simple repairs are OK, core component repairs must be carried out under their guidance, and all parts must be purchased from their original parts. If you are caught doing repairs without permission, the other party will not care about it in the future." .”

Zhou Rui touched his chin. This move is the usual trick of white-skinned guys. You Slavic guy has also learned it badly.
There are some hidden things, but to be honest, it is not easy to investigate. If the problem is found, people will directly say that my workmanship is not good, and there is an error in the aperture of the fuel injection nozzle that is imperceptible to the naked eye. There is nothing I can do about it, right?
Anyway, if you can't make it yourself, I'll have to buy it no matter what.

Zhou Rui began to think about how to deal with it. These two engines were definitely not the only ones purchased in China. The system said they were "castrated", which meant that this problem was common to every engine.

Castrating the engine will not affect the safety of the aircraft, but it will have an impact on the data acquisition of the prototype. For example, if the design lift coefficient does not reach the first category, if the engine problem cannot be found later, the aerodynamic shape will have to be reversed. Wait for other things to be adjusted.

It will be very troublesome for cost and confidence, and the launch time of the J-20 will be greatly delayed.

If you improve according to the plan provided by the system, it is not difficult to do it. There is no need to reprocess it. You can just remove the qualified products from Rongfei's inventory and click on them. How do you explain your findings?
Zhou Rui thought for a while and decided to be more metaphysical.

Engineer!Isn't it normal to have a flash of inspiration?It depends on whether Rong Fei believes it or not. If you really don’t believe it, forget it.

Then Zhou Rui took out the 40 cm long wrench hanging from his waist.

Gently tap the engine exhaust.

The crisp metal collision sound is neither loud nor quiet, but it is very ear-catching.

The engine crew member next to him lost his eyes and hurriedly ran over: "No. Xiao Zhou, you don't want to knock it! It costs tens of millions! What if it makes a dent?"

Zhou Rui didn't stop, but tapped it lightly again, then put his ear to the metal surface, and said after a while: "This sound is wrong."

"what?"

"I feel like there's something wrong with the turbine blades inside. It's best to dismantle and inspect them."

The man bit his tongue and was speechless for a long time.
We are engineers, not mages
Is there still such a thing?
