Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 2474 A snail ruins the matter

It's a bit chilly at night in the city in October.

Feeling the refreshing wind, Yang Xiaotao sat on a stool in the workshop with a calm expression.

Up ahead, Liu Daming and others were busy.

Everyone was furious and wanted to find the cause of the problem.

However, they don't think it's a problem.

But Yang Xiaotao's insistence forced them to do so.

According to common logic, if there is an oil leak, it means that there is a leak in the fuel tank or the pipe connected to the engine itself.

Therefore, these areas need to be checked first.

But if you want to check it out, you have to remove the dedicated line assembled components bit by bit.

The fire control system also needs to be disassembled bit by bit.

The whole process is no shorter than the assembly time.

You may have complaints in your heart, but you dare not show them at this time.

Anyone who saw Yang Xiaotao's calm face would not have the courage to speak.

Yang Xiaotao sat there, waiting quietly, his thoughts unclear.

He knew that airplanes were different from cars.

If a car has a problem, you can park it on the roadside to repair it, but if a plane has a problem while it is in the sky, there is no place to park.

Therefore, we must find out the problem and solve it.

It's just dawn.

Two jeeps rushed into the ninth department and came directly to the door of the workshop.

President Peng and Mr. Zhang rushed in one after the other. When they saw Yang Xiaotao, they asked, "What's going on? What's the specific situation?"

Yang Xiaotao took a deep breath and then said, "Just before departure, I found three small oil spots on the ground where the plane stopped."

"I thought it was a major hidden danger, so I canceled the first flight."

Mr. Peng looked at him with a sharp gaze, "How could such a problem arise?"

Yang Xiaotao was also helpless, "It must be an accident."

Mr. Peng was silent, but Mr. Zhang spoke up, "This is not a trivial matter. We cannot allow a plane with hidden dangers to take off. I agree to delay it."

President Peng nodded, "Find out the cause as soon as possible."

"I know!"

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, he felt helpless.

“Hopefully there won’t be any delays in delivery.”

Mr. Zhang spoke softly on the side, while Yang Xiaotao looked at the workshop in the distance without saying anything.

After understanding the situation, the two men left again by car. They needed to report the matter and explain the situation.

The sky was bright and the people from the cafeteria brought breakfast. Yang Xiaotao ate with everyone else.

Then, Yang Xiaotao was seen taking off his coat and walking into the workshop wearing a shirt.

"Yang Department!"

When Liu Daming saw Yang Xiaotao's posture, he knew that the other party was going to take action.

Chen Chonghan was also watching from the side, but he felt a little depressed.

"Military Yang, we can do it ourselves."

Wang Xushan's eyes were even redder. He was responsible for the overall structure of the aircraft. To be honest, this oil leakage incident was related to him.

Bian Xiang and others also came over and tried to persuade them.

Yang Xiaotao rolled up his sleeves and said, "I am the person in charge of the plane. If there is a problem, it is naturally my responsibility."

"Don't feel any psychological burden about this, and don't have any other thoughts."

"This is a hurdle. Once we pass this hurdle, we will be better off in the future."

At this point, Yang Xiaotao glanced at everyone and asked, "What's wrong? Do you think I'm not good enough?"

"No no!"

Wu Zhe spoke quickly, and Wang Xushan and others just shook their heads.

What a joke! This plane was designed and finalized by Yang Xiaotao. If he is said to be incompetent, who else dares to say he is capable?
"Then stop being so pretentious and hurry up."

After saying that, Yang Xiaotao took the lead and walked towards the plane.

The people behind him looked at each other, then put down their bowls and chopsticks and quickly followed.

West Garden.

The thin old man was waiting for good news.

As a result, before the call came, Mr. Peng came directly.

"That's just how it happened."

"Right now, Comrade Yang Xiaotao is leading a team to conduct an emergency inspection to try to find the cause of the problem."

The old man thought for a moment and then said, "This decision is correct."

"Tell them that they must solve all the problems."

"We must not fly into the sky with problems. That would be irresponsible to the pilots and the manufacturers!"

President Peng nodded, "Don't worry, although Comrade Yang Xiaotao is young, he still knows his limits!"

"But if that's the case, I'm worried that the plan will be postponed again, if..."

"If we delay the November event, it will be difficult for us to explain to the other party."

The thin old man frowned after hearing this, and after thinking for a long time, he shook his head, "If we can't do the best, we must also avoid the worst!"

"After all, there will be a lot of attention at that time!"

Mr. Peng nodded, and then said quietly, "I hope to find the entrance exam questions as soon as possible!"

……

Department 9, Aircraft Research Institute.

Early in the morning, the sky is dim!
Yang Xiaotao leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed, while Wu Zhe and others in the room were resting in all directions.

Three days have passed since the problem was discovered.

During these three days, everyone ate and lived in the Ninth Department, and Yang Xiaotao only slept for three hours.

The situation was similar for the others. The older Liu Daming and Hou Baowei were so exhausted that they collapsed. Yang Xiaotao had people send them home to rest.

But the next day, several people got up again.

There was no other choice, Yang Xiaotao had to divide the people into two shifts so that everyone could have some rest time.

Of course, as the persons in charge, Yang Xiaotao and Wu Zhe do not have a fixed point.

In this regard, everyone understands that the sooner a problem is found, the sooner it can be solved.

There was a sound of footsteps in the corridor, and many people immediately opened their eyes, squinting, hoping that the night shift workers would bring good news.

But after the visitor gently pushed open the door, everyone closed their eyes in disappointment and took a quick rest before the shift change.

Li Hongfeng pushed open the door and looked at the situation in the room, then carefully walked up to Yang Xiaotao.

"Xiao Yang!"

Yang Xiaotao opened his eyes, "What's wrong?"

Li Hongfeng pointed outside, and Yang Xiaotao understood and stood up to walk out.

Arriving at the corridor, Li Hongfeng took out a cigarette and lit it. Yang Xiaotao took two deep puffs and then he felt a little more energetic.

"There's something we need help with!"

"you say!"

Li Hongfeng took a puff of his cigarette and then said, "Mr. Wu called last night and told me about the locomotive."

Yang Xiaotao frowned when he heard this. When he first called the Sifang Machinery Factory in Qindao, he was worried that there might be problems. Now he heard that the call was made to Mr. Wu, so there must be a big problem.

Yang Xiaotao didn't say anything and continued to listen to Li Hongfeng.

"Sifang Machinery Factory has been working on this issue for a while now, and has organized all the eighth-level workers in the factory to form a task force to devote themselves to production."

After hearing what Li Hongfeng said, the seriousness on Yang Xiaotao's face slowly melted away.

At least it shows that the other party is working hard.

"What's the situation now?"

Yang Xiaotao spoke slowly, and Li Hongfeng quickly said, "They have already solved some of the problems, and are now stuck on the piston."

"The design required a precision of 1.8. They tried for more than a week and even used up three lathe tools, but still couldn't make it."

"Later, I found several other master chefs from other factories nearby and tried them all, but it still didn't work."

"So we asked for help from Elder Wu. Elder Wu had no choice but to ask us if there was any problem with the 0.2 difference and whether it could be changed!"

After Li Hongfeng finished speaking, he looked at Yang Xiaotao.

He understood that as a designer, the thing he could not tolerate most was others changing his designs.

A small change may lead to global failure.

Sure enough, Yang Xiaotao frowned immediately after hearing this, and Li Hongfeng felt nervous.

“No need to change!”

Yang Xiaotao spoke slowly, "Let's send someone to help solve the problem."

"Okay, that's good!" Since Yang Xiaotao said so, it should be able to solve the problem.

Before Li Hongfeng left, he went to report the situation to Mr. Wu, while Yang Xiaotao pondered for a moment and returned to the rest area.

Looking at the people lying around with their eyes closed, Yang Xiaotao took a quick look and then walked up to Chen Chonghan.

"Old Chen!"

After a gentle shout, Chen Chonghan immediately opened his eyes, his eyeballs were bloodshot.

"Yang Department!"

"Come out for a moment!"

As he said this, he walked out and Chen Chonghan quickly followed.

The people in the room were a little surprised, but Yang Xiaotao didn't say anything, so it was naturally none of their business.

"Lao Chen, you have to go on a business trip..."

Yang Xiaotao then explained the situation, and Chen Chonghan felt a little uncomfortable.

Yang Xiaotao could see that the other party was concerned about this place, so he explained, "Don't worry about things here, just go there with peace of mind!"

"Besides, among our nine departments, I feel at ease only if you go!"

Seeing Yang Xiaotao say this, Chen Chonghan knew he couldn't refuse and felt a little excited.

After all, these words came from Yang Xiaotao's mouth, which represented his status in the Nine Departments.

So he nodded and said, "Okay, when do we leave?"

"Go home now and take a rest. Get some energy and leave in the afternoon."

"Contact Secretary Li then."

"it is good!"

Chen Chonghan responded and turned to walk out. Yang Xiaotao looked at the sky, didn't go to rest, rubbed his face, turned and walked towards the workshop.

"Yang Department!"

Wang Xushan yawned when he saw Yang Xiaotao coming.

Yang Xiaotao nodded, but looked at the empty plane, "Did you find anything?"

Wang Xushan's expression darkened, and then he shook his head, "Not yet!"

Then he thought of something else, but after looking at Yang Xiaotao's expression, he didn't say it out loud.

In fact, during this period of time, everyone had an idea in their mind.

If there is really an oil leak, why are there only three drops?
Moreover, such a long time has passed and there has been no further oil leakage, which makes everyone increasingly suspicious of Yang Xiaotao's decision.

However, no one dared to say it.

"Okay, come down and take a rest, and then we can have a meal together!"

Yang Xiaotao could see that everyone was a little tired.

Not to mention others, even his physical condition could not handle it.

Of course, it's more of a mental exhaustion.

"it is good!"

Wang Xushan nodded and prepared to ask everyone to stop and rest.

Yang Xiaotao rubbed his temples.

In fact, he knew exactly what Wang Xushan and the others were thinking.

Things have come to this point, it is not a matter of whether he can come to Taiwan or not, and he doesn't care whether his dignity will be affected.

His only worry was that there would be a problem with the plane, but he couldn't find the problem, which was really frustrating.

You have to know that after taking off into space, speed, temperature, pressure, etc. will magnify the problem. Even a hole the size of a pinhole can threaten the safety of the aircraft.

Safety is no small matter!
Taking a deep breath, Yang Xiaotao twisted his neck and prepared to go to the cafeteria to eat with everyone.

"Miss Yang, I have a suggestion!"

Suddenly, Wang Li said softly beside Yang Xiaotao. Yang Xiaotao looked at him in surprise and then asked, "You say!"

Wang Li swallowed his saliva and said, "Commander Yang, I think we need to start the engine of this plane to find the oil outlet!"

Yang Xiaotao suddenly stopped walking after hearing this, then slapped his forehead and encouraged Wang Li, "Go on."

The people around also stopped and looked at the two curiously.

Wang Li did not hesitate and continued, "We have checked the plane several times, but to no avail. But I remembered that the plane was assembled and started for a while, so I wondered if the oil leak was caused by the engine starting."

Yang Xiaotao clapped his hands and immediately smiled, "Yes, yes, yes."

"It makes sense, it makes sense."

After Wang Li's reminder, Yang Xiaotao immediately understood where the problem lay.

"Old Wang, call someone, call someone immediately."

Wang Xushan immediately ran to the cafeteria, while Yang Xiaotao ran back with Wang Li.

After a while, the plane's engine started, and Yang Xiaotao and others squatted under the plane, each holding a flashlight in their hands.

Da da da

The sound of running came from far away.

Wu Zhe and others were eating in the cafeteria, but before they had taken two bites, they were called out by Wang Xushan.

When everyone heard the direction, they dropped their chopsticks and ran towards it.

"Yang Department."

Wu Zhe and others ran over and were about to ask, but unfortunately their voices were drowned out by the roar of the plane, so they had to move forward.

So, a group of people squatted on the ground, some looked at the belly of the plane, some looked at the wings, and some simply ran to the nose of the plane and lay down to make it easier to watch.

When Li Hongfeng and Liu Huaimin heard the news and came over with a group of people, this was the scene they saw.

A group of people surrounded the plane, looking like children playing house.

Lou Xiao'e and Liu Lixue were still holding lunch boxes in their hands, but when they saw Yang Xiaotao's dazed look, they knew that the meal was wasted.

Li Hongfeng and others didn't dare to move forward, nor did they want to leave, so they just stood aside and waited.

"Here, look at this!"

Suddenly, Bian Xiang shouted loudly, his voice full of excitement.

Just like people in the desert finally discovering an oasis, the sounds changed.

The next second, a group of people rushed over.

Yang Xiaotao came directly to Bian Xiang, shone the flashlight over him, and saw a little oil sticking out from a riveted joint on the belly of the aircraft.

Yang Xiaotao immediately reached out and touched it, then put it under his nose and smelled it, and then shouted loudly, "This is it, this is it!"

"I'll see, I'll see."

Wu Zhe squeezed forward. He wanted to see what the hell this place was that had caused so many of them to go crazy and risk their lives for so many days.

Yang Xiaotao made way, and then the Yiqiu people came up and looked closely. The way they looked and the expressions on their faces showed that they wished they could tear the place in half with their eyes.

"found it?"

Li Hongfeng was also a little excited. When he called Mr. Wu not long ago, Mr. Wu asked about the plane in particular. He just said that it was under investigation.

I didn't expect to find the problem so quickly.

Now that we have found the problem, are we still worried that we can’t solve it?

New airplanes can do it for you.

"found it."

Yang Xiaotao said happily, and in an instant he relaxed completely. Then he saw the lunch box in Lou Xiaoe's hand, walked forward to take it, found a place where no one was, sat down and started eating.

Liu Huaimin and his companions quickly came to the front of the plane, and then saw Wu Zhe and his companions directing them to start looking for the real leak point.

"Quick, tear this down."

"What? You've already taken it apart? Then take it apart again."

"This, and this."

“This is an oil pipeline.”

"Quickly."

The crowd shouted, their voices drowning out the sound of the engine.

After eating, Yang Xiaotao just watched from the side without any intention of going forward.

Li Hongfeng did not leave either. He walked over to Yang Xiaotao and sat down.

Then came Tony Yang and Chen Gong.
Almost all the senior executives from the nine ministries came.

Before noon, the sound of the aircraft engine suddenly stopped, and the entire production workshop became silent.

Yang Xiaotao was chatting with Li Hongfeng about tunnel boring machines and asking about the research and development of tunnel boring machines in the First Ministry of Machine Building when he suddenly felt as if everything around him was still and there was no sound.

At this time, Yang Xiaotao realized something and found the source.

Then he looked up and forward.

At this moment, Liu Daming came over with a screw in his hand, but there was no joy on his face.

Yang Xiaotao stood up.

Liu Daming came up to him, took a deep breath, and said, "Director Yang, I found the problem."
