A nation's industrial development begins with junior engineers.

Chapter 910 All things circulate and are used for my purposes!

Just as Jiang Xia was excitedly tidying up the pile of dismantled components, Teacher Shi E rubbed his hands together and pointed to the big yellow clone, saying:

"By the way, everyone calls you 'Big Yellow's dad,' you know these kinds of machines inside and out. If... if we want to study this system more deeply later, or even try to bring it to life, is it possible for you to 'extract' the program that controls the underwater acoustic system from this machine and take a look?"

"If we could get its original 'brain' to partially function during range testing, and cross-compare it with our own recorded results, then the data would be perfect!"

As Teacher Shi'e said this, he looked at Jiang Xia with hopeful eyes.

Those who are on the same side know their own situation best. Even Teacher Shih-E was too embarrassed to say how rudimentary the underwater acoustic range was on Darian's side.

Professor Shih-E's eagerness to make full use of this captured system, even going so far as to request Jiang Xia to perform the highly difficult program extraction, was actually based on his own considerations.

His trip to Dalian this time was undertaken with the important task of establishing China's first comprehensive underwater acoustic test range.

However, the preliminary survey results dampened the enthusiasm of the builders.

The Port of Darian and its surrounding waters, as a temporary site, have many inherent disadvantages: the harbor is extremely busy with shipping, resulting in complex and high-intensity background noise, making it difficult to obtain a pure acoustic environment.

The average water depth of Liaodong Bay is relatively shallow, which is not conducive to the effective testing of the acoustic propagation characteristics in deep sea and the effective range of underwater weapons...

The long winter sea ice period severely reduces the valuable window for sea trials.

In addition, the nearshore waters are not deep enough and the seabed geological structure is not an ideal medium for sound wave propagation, making it difficult to meet the requirements for building a long-term, stable test range that can be used for high-standard underwater acoustic experiments.

The initial surveying efforts were almost wasted, and the higher authorities are already considering choosing a new site.

Professor Shih-E knew all too well what this change meant: a new round of site selection, surveying, and feasibility studies... a lot of precious time and already limited resources would be consumed in repetitive work, and the progress of the entire project would be forced to be significantly delayed.

Time is precisely what we can't afford to waste right now.

Against this backdrop of anxiety, the passive underwater acoustic monitoring system salvaged from the "Early Tide" took on a completely different significance in the eyes of this expert.

It is no longer just a pile of spoils to be analyzed, but more likely a "black box" containing advanced design concepts and technical ideas.

Even if we only get a glimpse of its unique receiver layout, signal processing flow, and overall system architecture, it may provide valuable reference for the construction of domestic underwater acoustic test ranges and equipment development, which are still in the exploratory stage. It may even help the team avoid pitfalls, clarify the direction, and save years of research and development time!

Therefore, he focused on bringing this system to "life," especially its "brain"...

That "Big Yellow Doppelganger" regained some of its functions, and he held such a strong obsession with it.

Only by allowing the original program to drive the hardware can the most authentic, complete, and comparable data be obtained in the test range, thereby making the most accurate assessment.

And who else on site, besides Jiang Xia, who is jokingly called "Big Yellow's Dad", could possibly be the only one capable of trying to "talk" to that "Big Yellow's clone"?

but……

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xia instinctively wanted to shake his head. Even if he was jokingly called "Big Yellow's dad," it was impossible for him to deduce the machine code running inside the magnetic core memory simply by observing its physical state.

That's no longer a technology, it's almost metaphysics.

If Fatty were here, we could let him give it a try, but that idiot is really only a half-baked expert in this area...

Wait a minute!

What is that...?

Just as Jiang Xia was about to refuse, his gaze fell on a black device connected to "Big Yellow Doppelganger" and hidden in a corner.

Tape reader!

Haha, you guys are so thoughtful, you even included the first-generation tape reader!

As long as the program and data are on the tape, things will be much easier for him! Machine language and binary data are much easier for him to understand than trying to decipher the designer's intentions!

"Theoretically... there's a chance!"

Jiang Xia's mind went straight, and confidence returned to his face. "As long as I have the tape containing the program, I can find a way to read it and see what's written on it!"

As he spoke, he walked enthusiastically to the tape drive, preparing to find the tape cassette containing the program.

"Uh, huh?"

"The cassette tape!"

Jiang Xia stared blankly at the empty cassette tape compartment.

So he subconsciously pressed the rewind and forward buttons a few more times. The machine was running normally, but the chamber was still empty.

The boy with the dazed hair reached in and groped around, only to find that his fingertips touched the cold metal guide wheel and the idle shaft.

However, while exploring the internal structure of the chamber, he vaguely sensed that the distance between the main pulley and the pressure pulley seemed to be much smaller than the common standard specification...

"Hey, this Junichiro is cunning enough! Playing hide-and-seek with us like this?" Jiang Xia pouted, but there wasn't much frustration on his face.

Because when he looked up, he saw Lao Wang accompanying Zhao Gang as they bent down and crawled into the submarine hatch.

"Alright, let's split up!"

Then Jiang Xia whispered a few words to Lao Wang, who rubbed his chin while taking off several military water bottles that he always carried on his back.

Since arriving here, the kid hasn't had much rest. His face looks pale, and Old Wang is really afraid that the kid might accidentally pass out again.

As Jiang Xia sipped his water bottle, which was mostly sweet with a hint of bitterness from the Banlangen granules, he gave Lao Wang a thumbs up.

Wang Kui is becoming increasingly attentive to people's needs, and he even knows how to get some medicine to prevent illness. It seems that Company Commander Tang is really good at teaching people!

Old Wang nodded, accepting the praise with a sense of shame. He wasn't foolish enough to tell the clueless kid that it was leftovers from Xiaoben's drink. However, Old Wang still presented his generous gift to the group of people working overtime.

That's the delicious instant noodles!

This stuff was just distributed two days ago, originally intended to improve the submariners' rations during long-range training voyages. Old Wang discovered it when he went to the fleet logistics department to prepare ginger soup.

So, the audacious Old Wang, taking advantage of the remaining influence of the "Dumb Boy" badge, made a ruckus and emptied almost half of the newly arrived inventory, bringing it all to this secret dock to provide extra food for the comrades fighting on the front lines.

"Hissing and snoring, hissing and snoring..."

The delicious instant noodles were cooked together with the leftover sea cucumbers from the afternoon, and everyone was very satisfied with this big pot meal.

Uh……

Besides our heroic, horizontally-grown Captain Zhao Gang, and Teacher Shi'e, who kept looking distressed when he heard the tape was missing.

However, Shih-E was easy to talk to. After the silly boy painted a rosy picture, he immediately regained his enthusiasm.

If even Da Huang's dad has guaranteed it, then this deal is definitely going to work!

but……

Zhao Gang, who grows horizontally, is not easy to deal with.

"Damn it! How could you betray your brother like this? Not only did you steal my special supplies, but you won't even let me taste them. Is this how you treat people?"

"Tch, bro? That's just something to rip off!"

Holy shit!

What you said makes so much sense, I'm speechless!

Seeing Zhao Gang preparing to throw him over his shoulder again, Old Wang quickly retorted, "Don't think about that little bit of food. You're from the seaside, do you really need seafood? Isn't it good to have you help me get credit?"

"Pah! Seafood my foot! I'm sick of eating this stuff every day! You have no idea how long I've been craving a bowl of hot noodles!"

Zhao Gang wiped away the tears that welled up in his eyes, and finally sighed helplessly, resignedly following his "brother who always screws over his brothers".

"What are the procedures?"

"Looking for something," Old Wang said succinctly. "Where on the submarine did you first find and subdue Junichiro? Take me to the scene."

The submarine was crowded with people, and Lao Wang didn't specify the exact target. Although Zhao Gang was confused, he still led him towards the equipment compartment of the "Zaochao" submarine.

It's more accurate to say they crawled through than walked.

Throughout the journey, Zhao Gang, whose physique was overly "solid," grumbled and complained a lot, mainly about himself:

"If I had known these bastards were so obedient, why did I lock all the internal hatches in the first place? It was such a waste of time and effort, just asking for trouble!"

Good heavens...

Who knew these elite-trained guys would be so well-behaved, not even planning to touch the sinking valve!

Was it because they cherished the "Early Tide" too much, or had the so-called "elite" training already worn away the last bit of their fighting spirit?
