By linking my account to the check-in system, I became a leisurely traveler.

Chapter 11 Repair Completed
Lu Haibo's modification shop received a large item delivered by the logistics company.

Lu Haibo asked the workers to help unload the goods, and only then did he see that the recipient was Li Younan.

He hadn't originally planned to open it, but after calling Li Younan, she asked him to help her accept it.

Lu Haibo then excitedly called on the workers to take things apart to satisfy his curiosity.

When a large piece of wood, nailed together in several layers, was dismantled, everyone was stunned to see what was inside—it was also a damaged engine, clearly the same model as Li Younan's Land Cruiser.

When the engine was received, everyone's first reaction was whether it had been sent to the wrong person, or whether it had been damaged by some external force during transportation. However, looking at the damaged parts and the shape of the engine, it was clear that the damage could not have been caused during transportation.

Lu Haibo immediately called Li Younan: "Brother, is this an engine you bought? Why is it broken?"

Li Younan on the other end of the phone seemed completely unsurprised: "Yes, it's broken. It took a lot of effort to find it. I'm on my way to your place now. Time is tight, but I'll start working on it as soon as I get here."

Lu Haibo was stunned for a moment: "Start work?"

Li Younan didn't offer much explanation, only saying that they would talk about it after he arrived.

Lu Haibo put down the phone, then suddenly realized something. Looking at the engine again, an expression of disbelief appeared in his eyes.

Could it be that the guy is planning to take parts off this engine and repair the original engine?

Traffic management authorities have very strict regulations on car engines. Each engine in a car has a specific serial number that must correspond one-to-one with the vehicle frame.

If you need to replace an engine, you must go through a strict process, which is why engine replacements are so expensive, because counterfeit engines cannot be driven on the road.

However, if you use parts from an old engine to repair the original engine, there is no such concern because it does not involve changing the engine's serial number, which can save a lot of money.

However, this is only in theory.

Only those who work in repair shops know how terrifying Li Younan's plan is. Lu Haibo silently stared at the damaged engine that had just arrived, then looked at the original engine over there.

The man, Mr. Yang, came over and asked, "Boss, what is your friend doing with this broken engine? He's not planning to take parts off this engine and put them on that other engine, is he?"

Master Yang had only made a joking tone, but then he saw that Lu Haibo looked serious and didn't seem to be refuting him.

Master Yang's smile gradually froze, and he blinked: "Is that really what you're planning?"

……

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Right now, Master Yang is discussing engine repair with several workers.

Engine repair depends on the level of difficulty. Engines are not unrepairable, but the extent of damage matters.

Minor malfunctions are usually manageable, but the problem with Li Younan's Land Cruiser is the engine's crankshaft and connecting rods!

This is the core of the engine, requiring the removal of a large number of peripheral parts, and demanding an outrageous level of precision in assembly. Even the slightest mistake could lead to irreparable risks.

To be honest, Lu Haibo wasn't a professional mechanic. He knew that repairing engines was difficult, but he didn't know just how difficult it was.

After Master Yang chatted with the other workers for a while, Lu Haibo couldn't help but ask, "Is it really that exaggerated?"

Master Yang snorted: "Is it that exaggerated? Boss, let me put it this way, if repairs are rated from 1 to 10, Li Younan's repair is at least a 9.5 difficulty level."

"First of all, the operation is very complicated. It requires disassembling more than 80% of the parts. The steps are very tedious and the margin for error is extremely low." "Then it requires a lot of professional tools, such as dial indicators, torque wrenches, and precision measuring tools. When I was learning auto repair, even my teacher couldn't repair an engine damaged to this extent."

"Secondly, the maintenance risk is very high; a small mistake could render the entire engine unusable."

Just as they were having a great time chatting, Li Younan arrived.

Everyone immediately looked over and chose to keep quiet.

After all, Li Younan had already proven them wrong last time.

When Li Younan officially started repairing the engine, the workers came over and gathered around to watch.

Although no one believed that Li Younan could really fix the engine, they were curious!
They watched without readily offering their opinions.

But as Li Younan began to disassemble the engine, which was being disassembled as a component, everyone's gaze gradually changed.

Repairing this engine was indeed not an easy task. Even Li Younan found it difficult. After all, his repair skill was only 1 point. Although it was an amazing skill in an ordinary repair shop, it was only at the professional level and not a master level.

Fortunately, it can indeed be repaired.

After opening the engine, it was found that the engine cylinder and pistons were also damaged to some extent, so official parts had to be purchased, costing another 1 yuan. After getting into the swing of things, Li Younan repeatedly calibrated and tested, pushing the progress step by step, and it took a full week to successfully assemble the engine.

For the course of the week, all the workers would come over to watch whenever they had a spare moment, and some even took out their phones to film it.

Master Yang, who had previously offered sharp critiques, fell completely silent; among all the workers, he seemed the most attentive.

When he tightened the last screw to the standard torque, everyone in the modification shop erupted in cheers.

Over the past few days, everyone has witnessed Li Younan restore a damaged engine to its original condition; at least from the outside, it looks perfectly fine.

Next came the most exciting part: loading the truck. Several workers helped out, and it was even more exciting than when my own engine was repaired.

They quickly reinstalled the engine back into the car and closed the hood.

Li Younan got into the driver's seat and looked out the window. All the workers were looking at him expectantly.

Lu Haibo stood excitedly in front of the car, gently patted the hood, and whispered, "Buddy, don't let us down."

Inside the car, Li Younan took a deep breath, stepped on the brake, and gently pressed the start button.

The next moment, this large-displacement naturally aspirated engine seemed to awaken a beast that had been sleeping for a long time, stretching its body. It first took a short breath, and then it became full of vitality, its breath becoming long and full of life. The engine sound was not loud, but it was solid and steady.

At this point, everyone cheered excitedly.

Lu Haibo leaned closer to the car window: "Goodness, let's go for a couple of laps and see!"

Li Younan was also very excited. He gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, staring firmly ahead, and then turned to ask Lu Haibo.

Which gear is the forward gear?

Lu Haibo's smile froze instantly, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly: "Huh?"

Li Younan scratched his head slightly and said, "I got my driver's license in college, a manual transmission one, but I haven't touched a car yet."
