Chapter 42 He said to himself

Ji Xinghe is not as confident as he said, read the 109 operation interval again After going through the repair needs list, he found that there wasn’t really much he could fix. As Master Liu said, he should study at least one year of mecha maintenance, really familiar with mecha maintenance operations, and understand all the federal mecha standards. After all, mecha maintenance and car maintenance are two completely different concepts.

Or as Shen Mu said, add an operation area, when repairing the parts that you can repair, use every opportunity and time to learn from others eagerly, even if others don’t have time to guide him , With his more than 40 years of experience in auto repair and maintenance and various professional skills, he can learn a lot from it just by watching others repair.

But just like Master Liu didn’t immediately hire him for the 109th operation when he knew he was a Level 8 fitter, he knew like everyone else that he was old enough , he doesn’t have so much time to study normally.

“Ji Xinghe, you have to do everything you can do, do it well and then talk about the rest.”

Ji Xinghe said this to himself in his heart, and then he started Repairing the energy transmission board, what he is not confident about is mecha maintenance, what he is confident about is his physical fitness and energy, as well as the ability of a Level 8 fitter and the experience brought by more than 40 years of work, as well as martial arts since the fifth grade of elementary school. Physical fitness, eye-hand stability and precision.

The energy transmission board is a product of the new era. The concise summary is the wire. There are very few wires similar to the wire in the federal prohibition mecha of the new era, whether it is the transfer of energy or the transmission of information and data. The teleportation uses an energy transmission board made of a metal unique to Alien.

Only need to engrave lines on it, energy or data will pass through the lines, the transmission efficiency and stability are higher than traditional lines, and will not conflict with the connected metal parts. If there is damage, it is much faster to replace the energy transmission board than to replace the circuit system, and it is easier to find the specific damaged part, just observe the lines on the energy transmission board.

Before he came to Outworld, Ji Xinghe knew about the energy transmission board, but he did not know the engraved route of those lines, but he still chose to repair the energy transmission board because he had the corresponding authority, ‘Circuit diagrams’ for all federation mechas can be seen.

What happened after that was very difficult for others, but it was much simpler for him. In his words to Master Liu, it was to draw a scoop according to the bottle gourd.

When a slender energy transmission board was picked up by Ji Xinghe, some of the soft treads were directly deformed, not secondary damage, but their flexibility was very good, just like a soft sword Same. Putting it flat on the workbench, Ji Xinghe took a special magnifying glass and began to observe the patterns on it, and looked towards the screen on his wristband from time to time.

Refer to the comparison between the two, the damaged place is easy to find out, and then what needs to be determined is whether the damaged pattern can be re-engraved, if possible, then start directly, within the maximum error of 0.05 make repairs. If it cannot be re-engraved, then all the lines on the energy transmission plate need to be polished off, and then re-engraved within the maximum error of 0.02 or even 0.01.

The allowable error becomes smaller, and the difficulty becomes much greater. The maximum error of 0.01mm is a maintenance item that many people in the mecha area are unwilling to do, and accidental damage will occur. Then it can only be thrown to the robotic arm that needs to be queued, it is better to throw it directly to the robotic arm at first.

There is no way to recycle. This special metal has only one chance to smelt from mineral to metal form. If it is returned to the furnace after it is formed, it will lose its characteristics of transmitting energy and data, so its smelting work It is also very difficult, and a large number of artificial intelligence program computing resources, robotic arms, etc. are used on it.

Ji Xinghe was under a lot of pressure, but when he started to repair, his breathing, hands, and eyes were very stable, and the knife in his hand was projected along the laser caliper under the fixed special magnifying glass The texture looks like motionless, but it’s actually moving all the time, so new, valid textures are generated.

Ji Xinghe didn’t stop to rest after a board was repaired. His energy and physical fitness were really good, otherwise he would have run 10 kilometers in 35 minutes. Change to another old man of the same age, or even an old man about fifteen years younger than him, let alone thirty-five minutes, he may not be able to run ten kilometers in an hour, and he needs a stretcher to wait after the run. .

There is a problem with the maintenance of the second board, not Ji Xinghe’s problem, but the re-engraved pattern has not passed the test, which means that all the lines on the board need to be ground, and then re-engraved. A full set of patterns are engraved on the thin board.

So Ji Xinghe started grinding. He also has confidence in this aspect. One of the exam items for Level 8 fitters is to grind a ball, which is to grind an irregular-shaped metal ingot into a perfect shape with a tool. Possibly round spheres, the allowable tolerance is only 0.01 mm.

It is not difficult to do this with a robotic arm and a technological tool within the machine tool, but when it is replaced by a human hand as the main body, automation cannot be used in the later stage of grinding the ball Tools can only be polished little by little with tools such as files and knives.

Ji Xinghe seems to have returned to the time of the exam, but there is no grandfather of Master Liu in the exam room, and he is not 45 years old then, but 65 years old now. But his hands are as steady as before, his vision is as precise as before, his experience is more abundant than before, and his inner drive is stronger than before.

Grinding and then re-engraving all the lines, the difficulty is not only that the maximum allowable error is only 0.02mm, and some parts are even only 0.01mm, but the number of all lines on this board is more. . The greater the number of inscriptions, the greater the probability of making mistakes.

No, 90% of the engraving is not half completed, but a complete failure, a bigger failure than starting from scratch, because after failure, if you want to polish and inscribe again, you can The maximum allowable error is 0.005 to 0.001 millimeters. In Shen Mu’s mouth, this is a manual precision that exceeds the limits of human beings, and even the unit of millimeter is unusable. It is only nanometers that can only be achieved by robotic arms and machine tools. level.

Sixty-five-year-old Ji Xinghe is actually very suitable for this kind of work, because he is very old, which was his disadvantage at first, but now it has become his advantage, because he is old and patient will be more.

Like a lot of old man old man wives, they can sit in one position from dawn to dark, without playing with mobile phones, without reading books or watching TV, and the scenery in their sight can even remain the same. . But this is not because they don’t need to feel the foreign object, nor because they lose the ability to feel the foreign object, but because they can clearly feel the ebbing of time.

So, when the second board was repaired, Ji Xinghe didn’t test it this time, just like he didn’t test when the first board was repaired. His inspection when the second board was repaired for the first time was only because of his lack of experience, and now his experience and intuition tell him that he has already repaired it, so no inspection is needed.

The experience brought by the two boards is still too little, but it doesn’t matter, there are 39 boards in the No. 109 operation area that need to be repaired, and there are 149 operation areas in the mecha area of this base, and they all have boards maintenance needs.

“Ji Xinghe, do what you can do first, mecha is actually the same as a car, it doesn’t matter if it’s a little more complicated, come part by part, sooner or later you can repair it like a car. mecha, you can build mecha like you build a car.”

Ji Xinghe said to himself in his heart, and started the repair of the third board. He and everyone in this mecha area had no What he found was that his repairs were getting faster and faster.
