A nation's industrial development begins with junior engineers.

Chapter 885 Let me have a bite to replenish my blood!

"Crackling, crackling—"

The rapid, rapid tapping of the keyboard echoed in the room, almost without stopping. Staff Officer Xie stood to the side, watching Jiang Xia's fingers fly across the keyboard with a hint of amazement.

It wasn't that Jiang Xia wanted to show off his hand speed; it was just that there were too many technical points rushing through his mind, too many different kinds of points, and too much of a rush!

Those ideas and conjectures about the "early tide" level silent design, sonar array, materials and processes, and structural optimization that needed to be verified were like a flood bursting its banks. He had to pour them out and record them as quickly as possible, for fear that the slightest delay would extinguish a key spark of inspiration.

Thank you! Old Fat Silkworm, and Dong, and all the other bloggers with strange names...

After working for a while, Jiang Xia finally stopped to rest his slightly sore fingers.

"Look! Just the initial list of key dissection projects and related technical directions is already so many! This requires materials scientists, acoustics experts, fluid mechanics experts, structural engineers, electronic engineers... It's a massive systems engineering project!"

If, as the commander initially thought, they were just going to bring in a few experts to "take a look," then that would truly be a betrayal of the great victory that all the officers and soldiers of the 418 submarine fought so hard for!

Staff Officer Xie had been watching the screen for a while. From the very beginning when the text kept scrolling, he had already gasped in shock.

No wonder the higher-ups value this kid so much; in such a short time, he's already come up with such a profound and comprehensive plan! His insight and planning ability are truly astonishing!

Staff Officer Xie leaned close to the screen, his fingers tracing the dense text. The more he looked, the more his brows furrowed, then slowly relaxed, his eyes revealing genuine admiration: "This isn't just a simple list of key points!"

Before disassembling the propeller, a special bracket must be used to fix the shaft to prevent radial force from causing bearing deformation.

"Sampling of vibration damping pads should be done by compartment, with a focus on measuring the Shore hardness of the rubber and the vulcanization bond of the metal skeleton." They even considered the most common pitfalls in practical operation!

He paused, then pointed to the section on "Sonar transducer sealing test": "Last time we disassembled the sonar of a submarine, because we didn't do a sealing test first, seawater flooded in when we opened it up, burning two transducer components."

You not only specified that it needs to be measured, but also detailed the specific parameters for maintaining pressure at 0.3 MPa for 30 minutes! This isn't something you came up with on a whim; it shows you really know your stuff!

Jiang Xia didn't stop working, a smirk playing on his lips: "Either don't do it at all, or write down everything you can think of. 418 risked his life for this boat, we can't let any oversight in the operation ruin this achievement."

"That's right!"

Staff Officer Xie nodded, and was about to say a few more words of praise when the phone next to him suddenly rang. He quickly answered it, and after listening, his expression turned serious. He took out a pen and paper and began to write something down.

Old Wang, standing to the side, stared at Staff Officer Xie for a while: "I won't go into detail about how capable this idiot is, but I didn't expect this unassuming staff officer to have some skills."

It seems he didn't rise to power by digging up sea cucumbers!

After finishing the phone call, Staff Officer Xie said to Jiang Xia, "We received a message from the dock that the 418 and the Zaochao will be docking in twenty minutes. They want me to coordinate boarding security and the handover of prisoners. Do you want to come with me?"

Jiang Xia didn't even look up, her fingers still flying across the keyboard: "I'm not going. I haven't finished sorting out this idea yet. If I miss any key points for testing a critical component, it will be troublesome when we disassemble it later."

He looked up at Old Wang, who was standing with his arms crossed, and said, "Brother Wang, why don't you go with Staff Officer Xie to see your old comrade-in-arms and keep an eye on things for him?"

"Huh? What are you staring at?"

Wang Kui was quite interested in meeting his comrades, but he was a little confused when Dai Maozai asked him to keep an eye on things.

"We have to be careful they don't pull any 'honorable suicide' or anything like that. If someone is so desperate as to take their own life here, and then they turn around and accuse us of abusing prisoners, that would be absolutely disgusting. We have to do our job cleanly and efficiently, leaving no room for complaint."

Wow! I really didn't expect that!

If something like that really happens, it will be a real problem!

Staff Officer Xie quickly jotted down what he said and decided to put it into practice immediately. After all, those little notebooks were really peculiar; you simply couldn't understand what they were thinking!

Upon hearing this, Lao Wang frowned. Jiang Xia's concerns about the notebook were not unfounded. However, Lao Wang, who had been reprimanded by Company Commander Tang, was not the same person he used to be, and he still instinctively wanted to refuse to leave Jiang Xia's side.

But what Jiang Xia said next dispelled his concerns.

“You don’t need to worry about me here,” Jiang Xia gestured around, “This place is an underground fortress, impregnable. You guys go out and lock the door from the outside; it makes me feel more at ease than you standing around in there. Besides…”

Jiang Xia pointed around: "The Darian Base's primary function is training new recruits. Its experience in handling high-value prisoners and sensitive equipment is definitely not as good as yours, a veteran. The real elite and command core of the North Sea Fleet are all on Qingdao Island. I'll feel more at ease if you go and keep an eye on things for Staff Officer Xie."

After weighing the options, Lao Wang concluded that Jiangxia's location was indeed safe, but the guarding of the prisoners and equipment at the docks did require reliable personnel.

He nodded: "Alright! I'll go with Lao Xie to the docks and take a look. You just stay here quietly, I'll lock the door, and don't open it for anyone until we're done!"

"Okay, go ahead!" Jiang Xia waved her hand and refocused her attention on the screen.

After carefully checking the room's security measures again, Lao Wang and Staff Officer Xie left the heavy blast door and locked it securely from the outside.

The room fell completely silent, with only the clatter of keyboard keys remaining.

After a while, the knocking stopped.

Jiangxia, acting suspiciously, pulled out the "good stuff" that the director of the Northeast Chinese Medicine Factory had given him from his bag and stuffed it into his mouth.

"This is terrible! In future generations, watching short videos will only waste battery power..."

"Now look how life has been wasted..."

"Hurry up and get some health back, or you'll miss the big event!"
