Free Web NovelChapter 176: Chapter 129: Why is Fang Huai Not Qualified?
The Second Squadron didn’t have a single Equipment Technician as a First-class soldier, and I have never had the pleasure of asking one directly!
Equipment Technician?
Fang Huai thought to himself and quietly opened the Military Merit Shop to look up the operating principles and parameters of outboard motors.
He found an "Outboard Motor Knowledge" and an "Outboard Motor Repair".
The knowledge content costs 1 military merit value.
Repair is more expensive, probably because it contains a lot of practical techniques, actually needing 15 military merit values.
Exchange for knowledge, that’s enough.
Spent one military merit value, with 17.1 remaining.
The First-class soldier opposite Fang Huai noticed he hesitated a bit and thought Fang Huai was probably intimidated by his title as an Equipment Technician, so he couldn’t help but tease him,
"What, don’t know what to ask?"
At his words, the three First-class soldiers of the Second Squadron all felt a bit frustrated.
For Christ’s sake, you have so many questions when you ask us, so go ahead and ask!
Becoming an Equipment Technician just means a few more months of training, not becoming a superhero!
Go on! Challenge him!
At this moment, Fang Huai was absorbing a bundle of knowledge and, hearing this, he smiled a little.
Hehe, I’m afraid your knowledge reserve isn’t enough!
Fang Huai remained calm and asked, "Squad leader, what’s the difference between a four-stroke and a two-stroke?"
The First-class soldier immediately folded his arms, adopting a serious attitude: freewebnøvel.com
"A two-stroke mixes gasoline and oil! The exhaust method is different too! It operates more simply, but it’s also more fuel-consuming! A four-stroke, on the other hand, is more like a car engine, more complex in its functions!"
"Oh?" Fang Huai immediately asked back,
"So the four-stroke doesn’t mix gasoline and oil together?"
The First-class soldier’s brow furrowed, and he stumbled.
Hao Chengbin was about to open his mouth to show off.
But Fang Huai cursed inwardly.
For crying out loud, that’s all you’ve got? I’m just getting started, and you’re already out of your depth?
Do you deserve my one point of military merit?
So with a look of deep inquiry, he earnestly suggested,
"Is it... because the direction of the oil is different?"
"Of course!" The First-class soldier immediately thought of something and exclaimed,
"Outboard motors with two strokes don’t have an oil injection port! The oil is mixed with gasoline and added for lubrication during combustion!
The oil for four strokes helps lubricate the gears! It’s added through a special oil filling port, and the waste oil needs to be drained periodically!"
Fang Huai finally smiled satisfactorily, bringing the question back to something simpler:
"What about the lubrication method?"
"Splash... no, wait, this is a new engine, it’s wet sump lubrication!"
"Oh... And is this air-cooled or water-cooled?"
"Of course, it’s water-cooled!"
The back-and-forth between the two left Wen Jingsong with some regrets.
Damn, this kid is definitely a pro.
He’s just proficient in using it, knows how to operate, how to refuel, even knows the names of the parts.
But these theoretical questions, if he could learn all of them through and through, he wouldn’t need to be in the troops waiting for a promotion.
Luckily Shi Jinbo picked up the conversation for him earlier, or else today, he would have faltered.
As Wen Jingsong thought about this and got somewhat irritated, he interrupted, "Why do you ask all this? We’re firefighters, knowing how to use it is enough!"
Fang Huai saw this clueless guy jumping in with a remark, and immediately earnestly retorted,
"Squad leader, if you don’t even know the performance of the machinery, how can you use it well?
When disaster strikes, if you don’t know how much power your machine has, what kind of flow it can counter, or how to quickly troubleshoot a failure if one occurs, you’re just going to rush into the waterhead-on with a kayak and outboard motor?
If something goes wrong, what about the several people on the boat?"
Fang Huai’s voice grew louder, and by the last sentence, it roared like thunder.
Everyone fell silent.
It’s been a long time since the two squadrons had someone who took things so seriously.
"Well said!"
The first to applaud was actually Meng Qiang.
Meng Qiang now somewhat sincerely said,
"Yesterday, Fang Huai was still discussing with me in the Communication Room about the disassembly and assembly of the common equipment. What he says is absolutely not empty talk!
Right in front of me, he took apart cameras, computer hosts, and printers, telling me which faults can be fixed by ourselves and which parts we can replace. Usually, what we lack is this kind of seriousness!
I think the spirit that Fang Huai shows is extremely valuable!"
Fang Huai listened, feeling like crying without tears.
Oh my god, don’t overpraise me!
Sure enough, as soon as Meng Qiang finished speaking, Cao Yi immediately glared and exclaimed loudly, "Took apart?! Is it fixed?"
These office devices are not like equipment! If equipment has issues, you can send it for specific repairs without cost. freewebnovel.cσ๓
With office equipment, accounting for repairs is quite a hassle!
Who the hell let you mess with them?!
Meng Qiang still hadn’t grasped the crux and somewhat proudly said, "Of course, it’s fixed! Now I can disassemble and assemble a lot of things by myself!"
"Disassemble my ass!" Cao Yi cursed, "Don’t mess with those things! Some parts have warranty seals! They’re under warranty! Once you open them up, they’re not covered anymore!"
After finishing his lecture, Cao Yi also gave Fang Huai a sidelong glance.
Meng Qiang was suddenly speechless.
Fang Huai was even more speechless internally.
I knew it, some Pandora’s boxes shouldn’t be opened! In my rush for that bit of completion, I was too hasty...
Damn it, if one day the machine gets damaged, this guy will probably say I instigated it!
Cao Yi’s admonishment skewed things a bit, and the faces of the First Squadron displayed a schadenfreude smile.
Seeing this, Hao Chengbin coughed lightly and quickly supported the conversation,
"Um... But Fang Huai’s spirit is correct! Since today is about learning, everyone should take it seriously!
If not, we’d have wasted an entire afternoon transporting equipment back and forth, then go back claiming that we’ve all learned it, but did we really?
We just learned how to inflate!
If everyone just goes through the motions, how can we call ourselves Professional Firefighters?"
