"Let’s not even talk about mastering it! If there’s a problem, why not have a debate, so everyone can deepen their understanding of this equipnt?"
Hearing this, everyone began nodding, and those who had been dozing off on their feet also beca a bit more alert.
The First-class Soldier, Shi Jinbo, who had just spoken, countered:
"Squad leader, aren’t these things sothing only we equipnt technicians can delve into? Engine paraters are so complicated, how could everyone possibly learn them?"
Shi Jinbo felt that after the Q&A session, he had been quite fluent in his responses and naturally had the right to say this.
Exactly, exactly.
The crowd of uninford followed suit, finding his words reasonable.
Fang Huai sneered inwardly.
You think you’ve really learned it?
"Squad leader... I think I can learn it! Could you teach a bit about the transmission principle of this engine?"
Shi Jinbo felt as if soone had grabbed him by the throat.
What kind of a treacherous question is this?
I’m an equipnt technician, not an engineer!
Shi Jinbo said sowhat angrily: "Transmission principle? This is a four-stroke engine! It’s as complex as a car! Ask the equipnt technicians here, who knows it?"
No one spoke up.
Though most people didn’t fully understand, they also felt Fang Huai’s question was a bit too much.
Asking questions is easy, solving them is difficult.
"Ah?" Fang Huai imdiately walked up to the outboard motor and said with so surprise:
"Squad Leader Hao is also an equipnt technician, he taught !
But what he told was just the basic principle, I just want to hear other equipnt technicians’ thoughts to see if there’s anything to add!
Squad Leader Hao told that when the piston moves upward from the bottom dead center, it covers the scavenge port on the cylinder wall, which is the air intake, compressing the mixture of gas in the cylinder. As the piston moves up, the sealed crankcase creates suction, and under the pressure difference, the mixture of gas is drawn into the crankcase...
...As the piston moves downward and exposes the scavenge port, the compressed mixture of gas in the crankcase enters the cylinder, helping to expel exhaust gases. When the piston reaches the bottom dead center, the crankshaft rotates 360 degrees, completing a work cycle...
The suspension system...
And this regular maintenance, the mixed fuel can’t be stored for more than a month...
...Before installing the spark plug, start up the engine a few tis to keep the cylinder lubricated and prevent rusting, then install the spark plug."
Fang Huai squatted in front of the kayak, pointing to various parts of the outboard motor, slowly explaining from top to bottom, for a good seven or eight minutes.
Everyone listened while being flabbergasted.
This... this is basic principle?
Basic, really?
The three First-class Soldiers "under" Fang Huai felt at that mont, they had not been unjustly impressed by Fang Huai’s performances on usual days.
The depth of the questions Fang Huai normally asked wasn’t even a tenth of what he asked today.
Zhang Yang secretly glanced at the "Firefighting Equipnt Encyclopedia" just now, and these things were not in there.
The content on the outboard motors spanned only one page, with a fairly large diagram included, and the remaining couple hundred words were nowhere near enough to carry such a vast amount of knowledge.
But that was no longer important!
The equipnt technicians had been embarrassed, what more did he have to fear?
Zhang Yang flashed a booklet to Wen Jingsong he had taken out of his bag with a taunt.
Pfft, still feeling aweso?
Wen Jingsong didn’t say anything, just clenched his jaw muscles tighter and tighter.
anwhile, Hao Chengbin squatting next to the kayak, saw the astonished looks from everyone and felt it might be a good idea to visit the toilet.
When the hell did I pass this knowledge on to you? And such complicated knowledge at that?!
There were four equipnt technicians present, including him.
There was no way to smoothly get out of this, absolutely no way!
Damn it, serving as a teacher to Fang Huai, I’ve felt so much pressure!
Just as Hao Chengbin was about to withdraw, Cao Yi was the first to start clapping.
"Well said! There are no weak soldiers under a strong leader, the soldiers trained by Captain Hao are of very high level!
Captain Hao, you are with the Second Squadron. You have to spread your attention evenly! You can’t just look after your exceptionally talented apprentice, you should also guide the other less gifted apprentices!"
Cao Yi would certainly not miss an opportunity to chide everyone today.
And this Fang Huai was like a mint leaf soaked in beef soup—greasy and strong, the more you chew the tastier it becos.
The old soldiers were already accustod to Cao Yi’s PUA and knew how to deal with him.
Just go along with what he says.
"Right! Captain Hao! When you have the ti, please guide too!" Squad Leader Chen, the equipnt technician, who had been communicating with Hao Chengbin daily, knew Old Hao’s capabilities very well.
If he believed Fang Huai’s ghost stories, he’d be a fool.
This was nothing more than a joke.
Upon seeing his smile, Hao Chengbin felt goosebumps.
Resolved, he stood up and said with genuine emotion:
"You guys truly can’t catch up with Fang Huai’s talent! Neither can I!
If I could bring him up, and he stays on as an officer in the firefighting forces, that would an I’ve done my last duty well!"
"Oh?" Instructor Liu from First Squadron suddenly said:
"Fang Huai, are you aiming to beco an officer through studies? I heard from Captain Huang that you have a third-class rit, right? Add another one, and if you perform well, you’ll be eligible for a promotion, right?"
At these words, everyone looked sowhat perplexed.
Even Fang Huai, who was staring at the suddenly erged system interface, was pulled back to reality.
His Task Completion Degree had just risen to 21 points, and the second task completion notification had already popped up.
Three tasks completed.
But the reward interface had not yet appeared.
Fang Huai glanced at Instructor Liu across from him and Wen Jingsong whose face was getting red, feeling sowhat puzzled.
The matter of nominating soone for promotion was a closely guarded secret.
The qualifications weren’t that rare - two third-class rits or one second-class rit might suffice, but there were many hidden requirents.
Your words sound like having two third-class rits is enough for a promotion, but if that were the only requirent, there would be at least seven or eight people here eligible for promotion.
Moreover, being just a new recruit, why was Instructor Liu saying this out of the blue?
Cadres in the Second Squadron and Hao Chengbin wouldn’t dare talk about wishing for a promotion in their Squadron.
Wouldn’t that lead to discontent among the old soldiers?
Standing by, Cao Yi was also a bit confused by the conversation but still smiled and chid in:
"Fang Huai is about to receive his second third-class rit. He wrote a song for fire protection publicity that has been adopted by the whole corps and is about to be aired on the Provincial TV Station. It’s already being reported on the headquarters intranet."
As the words fell, Wen Jingsong’s eyes nearly popped out of his head.
Instructor Liu laughed heartily: "Not bad at all! A real talent, Fang Huai. Your last third-class rit, you got it during the New Soldier Training, right? Talented both in arts and in the martial field! With such performance, you definitely qualify for rit-based promotion!"
Cao Yi imdiately scoffed: "Whether he qualifies is not for the Squadron to decide, is it? If I could, I would nominate him right away!"
Instructor Liu, however, waved his hand: "Eh? How doesn’t he qualify? Our First Squadron might even have soone up for promotion soon!
They’ve already started learning how to be cadres!"
With that, he side-eyed towards Wen Jingsong’s direction.
Everyone sensed that the atmosphere was off, looking around curiously, yet no one dared to speak, and the surrounding silence was deafening.
Fang Huai imdiately grasped what was going on.
This isn’t about whether I get promoted, this is about expressing dissatisfaction with Wen Jingsong through !
