Gradually, more and more examinees left the conference room. These youngsters politely maintained their silence outside the room. Through the floor-to-ceiling glass, they watched their peers in front of them. However, when they saw the slightly pale, motionless youth at the back, some of their eyes flashed with amusement and mockery.
For the last major question, these examinees could only try to answer it tentatively based on the little understanding they had in class. They were all very outstanding students. They knew that even if they sat in front of the light screen for a few more hours, they would not suddenly be enlightened. Thus, they could only leave the conference room.
However, that audit student who had been a squatter was actually still sitting in front of the light screen, motionless.
At this time, there were not many students who were still in the conference room seriously thinking about the last blueprint. They were all people like Zhou Yu. Xu Le, whose face was slightly pale, stared silently and strenuously at the light screen. When this scene fell into the eyes of the students from the three military academies, they naturally did not think that Xu Le was seriously thinking about how to solve the problem like Zhou Yu and the others.
Xu Le did not move. His face was slightly pale, and beads of sweat could even be seen on his forehead. The examinees outside the conference room naturally thought that this guy definitely did not understand the question, but stubbornly refused to leave. He was afraid of losing face and was currently caught in a dilemma.
Some people sympathized with this pitiful squatter, but even more people looked at Xu Le in the corner with a mocking and contemptuous gaze. In their opinion, since he didn't have this kind of standard, he shouldn't have come here to make a fool of himself.
…
…
Xu Le, who had been silent for a long time, finally moved. He raised his finger and enlarged the blueprint on the light screen to its maximum. Then, he moved it to a complex structure on the lower right side. Then … he fell silent again. He narrowed his eyes and stared there without blinking.
It was impossible for anyone to notice that in the air before his eyes, the pictures caused by the abnormal discharges in the cerebral cortex were flashing nonstop. The three-dimensional analysis of the electron jets was flashing nonstop like a slide show, and it was being compared with the drawings on the light screen that had been magnified to the maximum.
With the ready-made blueprint as a reference, Xu Le's train of thought became much clearer. To solve the control of the maximum lateral G value of the electron jet, the key was the string of chip connections that could affect the acceleration curve of the SD direct injection.
His train of thought had been confirmed, but Xu Le still did not start to solve the problem. Instead, he quickly began to perform those virtual calculations in his mind. This was an extremely vague, even intuitive calculation because it was very unfortunate that the Shell Motor Company's assessment gave too little time, and there was no large scale computer as a tool... It was impossible to complete the massive amount of calculations needed to complete the actual design.
Therefore, Xu Le could only follow this train of thought and come up with a solution. He squinted his eyes and looked at the two blueprints in front of him and began to look for a place to start. The problem was that this unknown large scale device was already an extremely complete closed system. If he wanted to modify the chip connections of the electron jet, it would inevitably affect the rest of the system. In other words, if he solved the problem according to Xu Le's train of thought, then he would not only face the problem of modifying the electron jet, but also the entire structure diagram.
Modifying the structure of a complete system required countless workers, a lot of time, and countless experiments to complete. Even if it was only a conceptual design change, it still required a lot of work. The most important thing was that for these candidates, they had already been taught a certain way of thinking by academic education. No one would have thought that a recruitment exam question would require candidates to use such a crazy way of thinking to solve it.
Xu Le did not have this kind of fixed way of thinking. For mechanical and electronic systems, he still maintained the idea of repairing electrical appliances. After following Uncle Feng Yu for so many years, this idea had long been deeply ingrained in his mind. In his opinion, no matter how high level a system was, it was actually not much different from the simple chip sets on electrical appliances. At most, it was just a little more complicated.
This kind of crazy idea made Xu Le's way of thinking different from others. He did not know that this structure diagram was the activation device of a certain type of battleship in the Federation. Even if he knew, the idea in his mind would not have the slightest hesitation.
Uncle had said before that only the human body was the first order machine. The rest were all boring combinations of metal and wires. There was no essential difference.
…
…
The structure diagram that was enlarged to the maximum on the holographic screen had long been moved from the position of the electron jet to another position. In Xu Le's mind, or rather in front of his eyes, the blueprints flashed like a slide show. He did not know how many of them had been changed.
Moving one part would affect the overall situation. Fortunately, the blueprints in his field of vision were like a database. Following his strong will, an unlimited number of structural models were constantly moved and compared with the structure diagram on the holographic screen … Xu Le became more and more familiar with this process. He faintly thought that he should have some kind of terrifying ability.
His heart was excited, but his face was still calm. His face was slightly pale, and he narrowed his eyes as he stared at the holographic screen in front of him.
…
…
The time for the examination to end was not yet up. Most of the examinees had already left the conference room. Although some of them had calculated that the problem in the last question should be with the electron jet, no matter how they calculated, they found that they could not change that part of the design without destroying the precision of the entire system. Therefore, they began to think that they had gone in the wrong direction.
For this kind of large-scale equipment system, if a new design was to be made, it was not something that could be done by a single department. Naturally, it could not be the main point of the examination. Therefore, the last examinees to leave the conference room turned their thoughts to the rest of the structure diagram. A few of them successfully caught some problems and made the corresponding changes. Although they still could not meet the requirements of the examination, it was already very difficult.
Zhou Yu was the second last examinee to leave the conference room. He frowned slightly, clearly dissatisfied with the changes he had made to the last structure diagram. However, he knew that he had done the best he could. Walking out of the conference room, he came to An Da's side. Following An Da's mocking gaze, Zhou Yu looked into the conference room and saw the slightly pale Xu Le. He could not help but ask in confusion, "He still hasn't come out?"
"The objective questions can be guessed, but I'm afraid he can't even understand the last question …" An Da lowered his voice and sneered. "We came out early and kept seeing that guy staring at the holographic screen in a daze like a fool. His face was so scared that it turned white."
Zhou Yu frowned. He kept feeling that things should not be like this. He had a confidence in that guy called Xu Le … that even he himself did not understand.
…
…
In the office beside the conference room, the supervisor of Shell Motor Corporation Engineering Dept., José, who had just interviewed Xu Le in the morning, carefully looked at the answers of the examinees sent over on the holographic screen. In the end, his gaze fell on Xu Le's answer. He could not help but say regretfully, "It seems that this young man's basic knowledge is much better than I thought. He could pass the base line at the beginning … but the last question was really too difficult for him. He could not have seen this kind of system structure before."
It was almost time to hand in the exam. On Xu Guang's exam paper, the last holographic screen was still blank. Supervisor José could not help but shake his head. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed. He stared at the words and lines on the holographic screen and refused to look away …
After a while, José's face was slightly red. He pointed at Xu Le's answer on the holographic screen and kept tapping his finger. The examiner beside him saw his expression and could not help but worry. He asked, "What's wrong?"
"Talent! Talent! " José took a deep breath and looked at the holographic screen with a face full of smiles. He said, "The engineering department wants this person."
The examiners around him curiously looked at the answers on their own holographic screens. After looking at it for a while, their expressions became extremely interesting. They did not expect that the auditing student who came from a squatting soldier background could actually write such an answer.
They were very clear that the last question was a problem that the monster engineers from the engineering department had just solved three months ago. Because it involved military secrets of the Federation, these students had to sign a confidentiality agreement beforehand.
In this recruitment exam, the Shell Motor Corporation did not expect these freshly graduated students to be able to solve this question. They only wanted to test the thinking of the candidates. And in front of them, this young man named Xu Le, although he could not solve this problem, the slightly rough changes to the blueprints and the notes at the bottom were all faintly moving in the right direction …
"This examinee seems to be very familiar with the main cannon base system … It's really incredible." The bald examiner hesitantly said, "But there is still a big problem with the changes to the blueprints in the third region."
"What's there to be afraid of?" José stared fixedly at the holographic screen and said loudly, "The key is this kid's thinking … It's really rare to see such a daring fellow nowadays!"
…
…
Xu Le sighed, put down the holographic marker pen in his hand, and walked out of the meeting room. As the end of the exam approached, he finally wrote down the design changes that he had compared and tested many times in his mind onto the holographic screen. The problem was that he still found many problems. Most importantly, in this short period of time, he could only make some vague changes to the concept, but he was still thousands of miles away from the requirements of the question.
"How do you feel about the last question?" Outside the meeting room, Zhou Yu looked at him and asked with a smile. Previously, when he saw Xu Le start writing at the end, he had already vaguely guessed something.
"It's too difficult, I can't finish it at all."
Although Xu Le did not know that the other had already recognized him, from the start of the mecha battle, he had a good impression of this First Academy's ace student. He answered honestly, "This kind of design change to a major system is not something I can handle. Even without the need for experimental data, just the design change alone will take at least a few months."
