Eunuch, do you really know these martial arts?

"I'm not joking with you. In a bit, take all these materials to the repair room, I'll be waiting for you there." After all, they were his men, and Yang Hongkang could tell what they were thinking just by looking at their expressions, so he added that extra sentence.

it is true?
The five men simultaneously looked up at the sky—it was broad daylight! Had Chief Engineer Yang, so busy with the development of the new tank, become a little confused?

However, although they thought this in their hearts, no one dared to say it to Yang Hongkang's face.

Jiang Nian and Zeng Maozhe went to the maintenance workshop where the tanks were parked early in the morning.

He had no choice but to repair nine tanks simultaneously, so he simply turned this place into a repair workshop. Anyway, there was enough space here to easily accommodate the materials that were about to arrive.

Yang Hongkang arrived with five maintenance workers.

Seeing that they had actually come to the repair shop and put down the materials, the five men all had varying degrees of doubt: Could it be that by making such a big show of things, they really intended to overhaul these soon-to-be-retired tanks?

"Comrade Jiang Nian, these are the technicians from our institute who are specifically responsible for tank maintenance. Just tell them what you need them to do."

Yang Hongkang's gaze towards Jiang Nian was incredibly gentle at that moment. Even his tone of voice was soft and gentle, as if he were afraid of frightening Jiang Nian.

"This is Comrade Jiang Nian. During your time in the tank company, you must learn from him." Unlike his gentle attitude towards Jiang Nian, Yang Hongkang was extremely serious when facing the other five.

"Yes!"

The five responded in unison.

However, upon seeing the obviously young Jiang Nian, the group was still filled with resentment. How high could such a young man's repair skills be? And he actually expected the five of them to learn from him? This was simply an insult to them.

At this moment, the group shared the same thought. They secretly resolved to expose Jiang Nian's true colors in front of Yang Hongkang.

They believed that Jiang Nian had no real skills and was just putting on a show of calm.

"Because we need to repair nine tanks at the same time, time is tight. So we'll ask the five of you to each take charge of one tank and disassemble the entire tank as quickly as possible."

Jiang Nian nodded, without any formalities, and naturally gave instructions to the five people.

He could indeed disassemble all nine tanks by himself, but it would take a considerable amount of time and effort. Having someone to help would be much better.

These five men are from a research institute, so they're naturally very familiar with tanks. Disassembling a tank shouldn't be too difficult for them, right?

Jiang Nian wanted to repair all the tanks as quickly as possible. But the five men didn't think so.

Hearing Jiang Nian give them such direct instructions, the five of them looked rather grim.

"Comrade Jiang Nian, forgive my bluntness, but you haven't even conducted basic inspections on these tanks before demanding their complete dismantling. If you can't reassemble them later, who will bear the responsibility?"

Dong Dadong stepped forward and spoke to Jiang Nian in an unfriendly tone.

He felt that Jiang Nian might not even understand the basic structure of a tank, yet he wanted to dismantle it. Wasn't that just asking for trouble?

Besides, they don't even have a basic condition inspection report. They don't know the specific condition of these tanks. How are they supposed to repair them?

“I inspected these nine tanks yesterday. I know their problems very well. You just need to do as I say.”

Jiang Nian seemed somewhat irritated.

Yang Hongkang originally sent these people over hoping they could help, but seeing their attitude now, Jiang Nian understood. They were all very arrogant and had no patience to do what he was currently asking them to do.

"What about the inspection report? We need to see the inspection report to determine the problems with these tanks and then develop a repair plan!"

Dong Dadong couldn't discern Jiang Nian's current emotions, and he couldn't accept Jiang Nian's explanation.

They came here to repair these tanks, but now they haven't even seen a test report and they're already asking people to dismantle the tanks. If they can't be repaired in the end, who will take responsibility?

Judging from Jiang Nian's appearance, he is definitely not going to take responsibility, so the only ones who can take the blame are these few maintenance workers.

Even if they were maintenance personnel from the research institute, they could not possibly bear the responsibility for damaging the tank.

In particular, Jiang Nian's idea was to completely dismantle all nine tanks. If even one tank couldn't be repaired, the responsibility was already huge; if all nine tanks were rendered useless, not only Dong Dadong and his team, but even Yang Hongkang wouldn't dare to take on that responsibility.

Dong Dadong is now convinced that Jiang Nian summoned them here to make them take responsibility.

"The repair of these nine tanks will be entirely based on my plan. I'll do it the way I say. If you don't like it, you can leave!"

This time, Jiang Nian completely lost her temper and spoke seriously with a stern face.

After saying this, he didn't even look at Dong Dadong and the others who were still standing next to him, and turned around to walk towards the tank at the very edge.

Since these people can't be used, let's do it ourselves!
It just takes a little more time. Anyway, according to Jiang Nian's original plan, half a month was allocated for repairs. It will definitely be tiring, but there won't be that many troubles to deal with.

Dong Dadong and his group originally thought that with their attitude, Jiang Nian should at least give an explanation, after all, they were not ordinary repairmen, but people from the research institute.

After Jiang Nian left after saying those words, the five of them all wore the same unpleasant expression, a rare occurrence for them.

They hadn't expected Jiang Nian to be so adamant. When they couldn't reach an agreement, he simply left, ignoring them completely.

For a moment, the five people looked at each other, but no one took the initiative to speak.

It was only after Jiang Nian turned and left to get busy that they remembered a crucial question: Yang Hongkang had asked them to come over to assist Jiang Nian, but now that the situation was so tense, how were they going to explain it when Yang Hongkang arrived?

After introducing Dong Dadong and the others to Jiang Nian, Yang Hongkang and Zeng Maozhe went to find Zhang Ze first.

All the tanks in the tank company needed comprehensive repairs, while Zhang Ze led the others to study his already repaired tank.

Although Yang Hongkang was very curious about how Jiang Nian repaired the tanks, he was equally curious about the tank Zhang Ze was about to operate. Since there were nine tanks waiting to be repaired, it wouldn't hurt for him to take a look at Zhang Ze's operation.

After witnessing firsthand the improved performance of the newly repaired tank, Yang Hongkang also received the maintenance report submitted by Jiang Nian earlier.

Looking at this repair report alone, it is indeed as Jiang Nian said, that all equipment parts were fully repaired, and even a small rusty screw was replaced.

However, such repairs are not enough to improve the tank's performance in all aspects.

Yang Hongkang's mind was now full of questions.

He had previously thought that he could figure out how Jiang Nian had done it just by looking at the maintenance report, but now he found that his doubts only increased after reading the report. "This shouldn't be the case. Even if you replaced everything inside the tank, it's impossible to improve all aspects of its performance to this extent, right?"

Holding the report, Yang Hongkang shook his head, muttering to himself.

"Don't keep grumbling here. Comrade Jiang Nian's repairs are somewhat different from those of our other repairmen. The same techniques will produce different results depending on who does them. Also, the performance of the equipment he repairs will be significantly improved."

Zeng Maozhe had been standing next to Yang Hongkang the whole time, so he heard what Yang Hongkang was muttering and laughed out loud before giving Yang Hongkang a serious explanation.

Zeng Maozhe's explanation only left Yang Hongkang with more questions.

He felt that he was a pretty smart person, so why couldn't he understand Zeng Maozhe's explanation?

Seeing Yang Hongkang's dazed expression, Zeng Maozhe laughed even harder.

He was utterly shocked when he first saw this result.

If this is just a matter of probability, but the result is the same time and time again, then the problem must lie with Jiang Nian.

Zeng Maozhe had observed Jiang Nian's repair process many times but hadn't noticed anything particularly special. Other repairmen had studied with Jiang Nian for quite some time, but their final results were still far from what Jiang Nian could do himself.

In the end, Zeng Maozhe and his colleagues could only attribute the problem to Jiang Nian himself.

Seeing that Zeng Maozhe remained silent and only kept laughing, Yang Hongkang's face grew increasingly dark. He felt that Zeng Maozhe was definitely doing this on purpose.

"Alright, alright, I can't really explain this either, but that's just how it is. If you don't believe me, you can ask those old guys like Pan Jiayong, and you'll definitely get the same conclusion as me."

Seeing that Yang Hongkang's face was getting worse and worse, Zeng Maozhe patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly.

Yang Hongkang's expression softened upon hearing Pan Jiayong's name. Since Zeng Maozhe dared to say that, it meant it was indeed true.

"Let's go, let's go watch Comrade Jiang Nian repair the tank right now! I refuse to believe that I can't figure out the principles after watching him repair it with my own eyes!"

Yang Hongkang is now eager to see Jiang Nian repair tanks.

According to Zeng Maozhe, he had also watched Jiang Nian repair other equipment, but he hadn't discovered the underlying principles either. It seems that this indeed requires very careful observation.

Yang Hongkang was extremely anxious as he pushed Zeng Maozhe out of the monitoring room.

He inexplicably felt that he had overlooked something, but right now his only thought was to watch Jiang Nian repair the tank; everything else could wait.

Understanding Yang Hongkang's feelings at that moment, Zeng Maozhe quickened his pace and headed towards where Jiang Nian was repairing tanks.

When the two of them arrived at the repair room, they were both stunned.

Jiang Nian was seen hammering and tinkering in a corner, with various parts piled up at his feet. He had dismantled a huge tank into pieces.

As for the five maintenance workers brought by Yang Hongkang, they all stood to one side, not going towards Jiang Nian, but just crossing their arms, their expressions not very pleasant.

Zeng Maozhe thought for a moment and then understood what was going on.

Jiang Nian was far too young. Even he himself had great doubts about Jiang Nian's abilities when they first met. But reality slapped him in the face, teaching him a lesson: you can't judge a book by its cover.

These repairmen must be thinking the same thing. They don't trust Jiang Nian's repair skills, which is why things have turned out this way.

Thinking of this, Zeng Maozhe stopped talking. Anyway, this was Yang Hongkang's business; he was only here for Jiang Nian, and he didn't care about anything else!

What Zeng Maozhe could think of, Yang Hongkang naturally thought of as well.

He brought the people here, but now they're treating him like this; it's a slap in the face.

"Hello Chief Engineer Yang! Hello Academician Zeng!"

When Dong Dadong and his four companions saw that Jiang Nianzhen ignored them and started dismantling the tank on his own, they all watched with amusement. They wanted to see how Jiang Nianzhen would ask them for help when he couldn't repair it after taking it apart.

Before they could get Jiang Nian's help, they were greeted by Yang Hongkang and Zeng Maozhe.

They greeted each other, but all five of them were a little puzzled, because Yang Hongkang's expression was obviously not good. Could it be because Jiang Nian had dismantled the tank?

"I asked you to follow Comrade Jiang Nian's lead and learn from him, is this your attitude?"

Yang Hongkang finally spoke, his face gloomy as he stared coldly at Dong Dadong and the other four, his tone somber.

"You're letting Comrade Jiang Nian do the work while you just stand here watching? What, did I bring you here to enjoy yourselves? Have you become too complacent at the research institute, making you arrogant and ignorant? If you don't want to work at the research institute anymore, just get out of here and stop getting in my way!"

Yang Hongkang has never had a good temper, especially recently, as he has been working overtime to address the bottleneck in the development of the new tank, which has made him extremely irritable.

If Zeng Maozhe hadn't been there, what he said would have been even more offensive.

Dong Dadong and his group were truly terrified this time.

To everyone's surprise, Yang Hongkang started scolding them without asking any questions, and even told them to get lost.

"Chief Engineer Yang, it's not that we're unwilling to learn from Comrade Jiang Nian, it's just that the tasks Comrade Jiang Nian assigned to us are too unreasonable!"

Dong Dadong, the leader of the five, immediately stepped forward to explain.

"We came here to repair these tanks, but Comrade Jiang Nian didn't even give us a test report. We have no idea what the specific problems are with these tanks. How can we repair them like this? That's not all, Comrade Jiang Nian also wants us to disassemble these tanks. Chief Engineer Yang, you know how difficult it is to assemble a tank, but Comrade Jiang Nian just tells us to disassemble them. What if we can't put them back together afterwards...?"

Faced with Yang Hongkang's harsh reprimand, Dong Dadong felt very wronged.

Everything should be done according to the rules, but Comrade Jiang Nian doesn't play by the rules. How can they do things according to his orders?
They were maintenance personnel from the research institute, not Jiang Nian's subordinates.

After hearing Dong Dadong's explanation, Yang Hongkang's face darkened, and he almost gritted his teeth as he said, "Who told you that you were brought here to repair these tanks?"

As he spoke slowly and deliberately, Yang Hongkang felt an urge to beat these people up.

"I brought you here to learn tank repair skills from Comrade Jiang Nian, not to repair tanks yourself! Your only task here is to obey Comrade Jiang Nian's orders. Do whatever he tells you to do! Nothing else is your business!" (End of Chapter)
