Mecha Journey

"Haha, Xiao Mu, today's results are very impressive. The teacher is very happy for you."

Yan Shenfu sat on the chair in the office and laughed heartily. Yang Mu sat on the sofa next to him and just nodded calmly.

This morning, Whale Zang No. 1 completed the most basic ignition test. The roaring engine that saved the day heralded the beginning of the development of a new engine branch.

"This project has not been studied in depth in the past due to reasons such as cost and application difficulty. As the level of mechas has increased over the years, ordinary mechas have been seeking this breakthrough. We have been given three years to conduct research, and we have even There was no Kashgar project, and you completed it in four months.”

"This is a remarkable achievement, this is your amazing work."

Yan Shenfu said with a very serious expression at this time.

"Yang Mu, do you understand what I mean?"

Yang Mu sat and looked at Yan Shenfu, thinking about the connotation of these words in his mind.

Yan Shenfu took a sip from the tea cup, and then said slowly: "The Whale Zang No. 1 was successful. Although it was only a short-lived ignition success and no other research was conducted, it also shows that we have obtained the lead in this regard." With one step of advantage, hybrid engines will speed up research steps."

"Teacher, will we allocate resources to this aspect next?" Yang Mu understood the meaning and asked immediately, and Yan Shenfu also nodded.

"Yes, there should be approval in this regard soon, and the Engine Research Department will also set up a separate group to conduct research in this area, but I am not prepared to let you be the leader of this group."

"Teacher, this..." Yang Mu was immediately surprised when he heard this, but Yan Shenfu interrupted Yang Mu's inquiry.

"I know this is your hard work, but now that the general design structure is out, and the people in the institute are not just freeloaders, with your paving the way, it will naturally develop rapidly, and as for you, I hope you Go do something else.”

"I should have told you at the beginning that I hope you can study in all departments, preferably all departments."

"Teacher, is this too fast? In fact, I have been designing this drawing in the research department in the past few months, and I haven't started to study the others carefully." Yang Mu explained again, although this time the engine It succeeded, but some problems were also exposed. The engine has undergone some design modifications by Yang Mu and has not undergone complete acceptance and field testing. Many problems may gradually be exposed. These need to be studied and improved again. .

The first ignition thrust of the whale engine exceeds the thrust of an ordinary jet engine at the same level, and this is just a rough model. After more systematic optimization, the advantages of the hybrid engine will be further revealed.

When Yan Shenfu heard this, he shook his head more firmly and explained to Yang Mu again: "Yang Mu, I know you want to take it step by step, but I think you misunderstood my idea. I am not I want to see you learn every technology in every department and master it, because that’s not necessary.”

Yan Shenfu said this, but the puzzled look on Yang Mu's face became more obvious.

"Let's put it this way, no one is perfect, and the same goes for me, teacher. Although I have designed many models of mechas, I can tell you for sure that without the existence of these departments, I would not even be able to make a special screw. Yan Shenfu closed his eyes and shook his head with a helpless smile on his face.

"Human is a group creature. Cooperation promotes the rapid development of the entire group. It is absolutely impossible to achieve great things by working alone." Yan Shenfu added again, but pointed at Yang Mu.

"I asked you to study in each department. It seems like a quick tour, but I want to tell you, I don't need a disciple who can make precision screws. What I need is a disciple who can take over my knowledge. people."

Yan Shenfu sat up straight, looked at Yang Mu with both eyes, and said seriously: "To put it bluntly, what I need is a disciple with fantastic ideas in his mind, a disciple who can have an overall view."

Recalling Yan Shenfu's words in the office, Yang Mu was stunned for a moment, and gradually realized the meaning of Yan Shenfu's words.

As the dean of the Mecha Research Institute, Mr. Yan’s entire skill lies in design. Mr. Yan came up with the design, and his people turned the design into reality. Finally, he created PAJR’s mecha level that ranks first in the universe.

At this moment, Yang Mu suddenly realized that he seemed to have thought something wrong. He was too focused on the design and implementation of something. He not only paid attention to its success, but also wanted to do it himself and put this into practice. Things are delivered to the factory production line perfectly from the hands.

But I have forgotten that there are so many people. They have a more professional level, just like the strong man in the foundry workshop. I don’t have that level at all. Why bother to say anything more? Just give him the drawings, and he will naturally Will do well.

At this moment, Yang Mu suddenly realized that his mentality had not changed. Perhaps it was due to his military experience. He started as a soldier and climbed up step by step. Although he became a ship in charge of a huge fleet, It takes a long time, but the hard-working spirit engraved in my bones makes me want to do all the work in this kind of design research.

Yang Mu was like an enlightenment, and he understood something instantly. He looked at Mr. Yan again, took a few deep breaths, and finally nodded heavily.

"Teacher, you are right. I do think too much. I will obey the teacher's arrangements."

Seeing Yang Mu's attitude, Yan Shenfu also showed a happy smile on his face. He valued this apprentice very much, perhaps more because when he was unable to do what he wanted, he hoped that someone could pass on his skills for decades to come. The ups and downs of the war have given Yan Shenfu too many emotions. Now, he only has one thought, which is to continue the glory of PAHR mecha.

The appearance of Yang Mu was undoubtedly a bright light in the darkness, giving Yan Shenfu direction, and the talent Yang Mu showed made Yan Shenfu confirm his plan.

However, since he is a closed disciple, Yan Shenfu not only wants to teach him a lot of knowledge in daily life, but more importantly, Yan Shenfu wants to teach Yang Mu things that are beyond the essence of design. Design thinking can still be understood, but design inspiration , this kind of thing that is almost ethereal and even contains a bit of luck, can never be found regularly.

To touch on the key points of this condition, you can only be completely familiar with the entire process of mecha design and manufacturing, and understand the basic concepts. In this way, you may be able to prescribe the right medicine, slowly make progress, and capture the fleeting moment in your mind at a certain practical step. fleeting inspiration.

Of course, this is not enough. Yan Shenfu has an even more different way of polishing this unrivaled disciple.

"Okay, as long as you know it now, I will transfer you to other departments in a few days. I won't give you too many choices this time." Yan Shenfu said, and Yang Mu also nodded.

"By the way, someone came to me recently and said it was you who said it, and asked him to ask for my opinion?" Yan Shenfu seemed to say his next thoughts very logically, tapping his finger on the table, and asked him to ask for my opinion. The document appeared in front of Yang Mu.

"This is the application document submitted by the Battleship Research Institute. They hope that you can be a trainee researcher in their weapons and equipment department." Yan Shenfu leaned on his chair and said. When Yang Mu heard these words from the Battleship Research Institute, he instantly He was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said to Mr. Yan with a helpless smile.

"Teacher, they did come to see me, but I don't want to go. I'm not professionally qualified, at least not in a short time."
