The top student must be diligent.

Chapter 248 This is what a chief designer is!

The next day, the site at the Institute of Controlled Nuclear Fusion became busy again.

It is said that construction has started, but in fact it is just installation. The white building that has not yet been completed is actually the supporting structure of the entire reactor. It plays the role of supporting various components. Therefore, its interior looks a bit complicated. It is also the most troublesome building in the entire construction process.

The ability to build it is also inseparable from the design plan given by Xiao Yi.

The engineers from Huajian First Bureau, which undertook the white building project at that time, were amazed that if it were not for Xiao Yi's construction plan, they would not know how this semi-finished building could be built.

He even wanted to take this plan to Huajian Group as a study material.

In the end, this plan was rejected because it involved key secrets of nuclear fusion technology.

Of course, even if others knew about it, it wouldn't be a big problem, because first of all, without the corresponding parts, even if this thing was built, it would probably only be a landmark that could be seen but not used. And even if there were parts, it would be a big problem to install them in an orderly manner. It's like assembling a large machine, and a machine used for controlled nuclear fusion.

Generally speaking, the main body of the building and the installations are constructed and installed in parallel. The supporting frame of the building is built, and then some parts of the installation are installed. This is like the process of building blocks, step by step, which is relatively intuitive.

But for the sake of confidentiality, the Japanese pile has not adopted such an approach. Instead, it is like now, with only a "shell" and you can't see the inside. Naturally, other people can't tell what this thing will eventually produce.

It was not until all the parts were finally shipped over that others were able to gradually realize the real purpose through these parts.

However, the problem this brings is that without Xiao Yi, the designer, it would be impossible to install all the parts in an orderly manner and ensure that there are not a lot of screws left after installation.

Of course, when the project started, Xiao Yi had already made preparations for the subsequent installation. The parts would be numbered in sequence, and various numbers had also been given on the engineering drawings. When installing, they could be installed in this order.

It can also facilitate the workers to a certain extent.

However, accidents are bound to happen during the installation process, such as losing the serial number.

……

"Chief Engineer Xiao, something happened at the scene."

In the office, Zhao Zhanyou ran over and said to Xiao Yi.

"Huh? What's going on?" Xiao Yi raised his head and asked.

"The part numbers of a few cooling pipes over there are missing, and now I don't know which part the cooling pipes are installed on."

Zhao Zhanyou said with some sweat dripping down his face.

If something like this happens in a nuclear fusion project, it would be very troublesome.

For magnetic confinement nuclear fusion reactors, there are quite a lot of cooling pipes. Whether it is superconducting magnets, vacuum chambers, cladding and other components, a large number of cooling pipes are needed as an important way of heat dissipation. Although these pipes may be similar in appearance, they may differ in size, material, insulation method, etc., and are suitable for different coolant media and temperature zones.

If it is installed in a different position, resulting in the heat dissipation effect not being able to reach the ideal state during actual use, it is absolutely possible to cause catastrophic problems to occur, and at the very least it may cause the device to shut down.

Of course, generally speaking, the curvature, length, etc. of each pipe are fixed, and after installation, you can basically find out if there is a problem.

But this brings a trouble, that is, all the installed places have to be dismantled before changes can be made.

So this matter, although not serious, is a headache.

There is no other solution, now I can only ask Xiao Yi for help.

Xiao Yi frowned and shook his head helplessly, but he didn't know what to say.

After all, humans are not machines. It is impossible to ensure that no mistakes will occur at all times for everyone. Such errors are within the normal range.

At least no irreparable mistakes have occurred.

Then he stood up and said, "Then take me to see it."

"it is good."

Zhao Zhanyou nodded, and then brought Xiao Yi to the scene.

At this time, the chief technical engineer in charge of the cooling pipe project was scolding the workers who had lost their numbers.

"How could you lose such an important serial number? I really don't know how you did it! You knew that this was such an important project, a secret project! I thought that you had been with me for so long and had experienced many projects. I thought that you had done a good job in other projects before, but now you are still so careless and sloppy. Now, our cooling pipelines are stuck because of you, with hundreds of pipelines being installed at the same time!"

"I really don't know how to say hello to you. Wait for Chief Engineer Xiao to come over and see what you will do..."

Several workers lowered their heads, their faces flushed from the scolding, but they didn't know how to refute.

They were all workers of the First Construction Bureau, and had undertaken such national-level confidential engineering projects in the past. Now that such a mistake had occurred, they felt ashamed.

There were also many people around watching them.

"Xu Gong, Chief Engineer Xiao is here."

At this time, a voice came, it was Zhao Zhanyou.

At this time, he also brought Xiao Yi to the scene.

"Master Xiao!"

The chief technical engineer's surname was Xu. He turned around and looked at Xiao Yi after hearing the voice. Then he hurried over and said, "I'm really sorry. I didn't expect something like this to happen. This is all my fault for not managing it well..."

However, Xiao Yi just smiled and waved his hand, saying, "It's okay."

"Our workers are also human beings. Mistakes will always happen. I hope they are not big problems."

“Don’t be too harsh on them.”

Xu Gong was stunned for a moment, then a look of joy appeared on his face. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, you are right."

Then he quickly waved to the workers and shouted, "Come over and thank Chief Engineer Xiao, or you will be punished by the head office!"

Those workers are coming over.

Xiao Yi smiled and looked at Engineer Xu, then said, "No, no, there's no need for this kind of thing."

He could basically see that this Engineer Xu had a good relationship with those workers. Although his criticism just now seemed very severe, he was actually defending those workers in front of him.

He also knew that these people were quite skilled in the ways of the world.

However, these things are not what he needs.

Turning his head to look at the other workers or technicians who were watching, Xiao Yi then said, "Okay, comrades."

"I want to tell you here that you must not bring some of the practices from other construction sites here."

"Here, it's not that we don't allow mistakes, but if we make a mistake, it's fine as long as we can make amends."

"As long as you don't make a big mistake."

"Of course, we must not forget that the most important thing is everyone's safety. Safety is the top priority and safety mistakes must never be made."

Xiao Yi patted the white hat on his head.

"In addition to these things, I also want to point out that everything we do is just to achieve our ultimate goal, to complete the task assigned to us by the country." "What I can reveal to you here is that our project is of great significance to the country. As for how significant it is, it may be praised by the whole country and society, and may be no less than the first atomic bomb we detonated."

“So I hope to work with all my comrades towards this ultimate goal.”

"I will also stay here and work with you to achieve the ultimate goal."

“When that day really comes, I believe you will all be proud of the time you have spent here!”

After Xiao Yi finished speaking, the workers present immediately applauded excitedly.

"well said!"

"Master Xiao, we listen to you!"

"Master Xiao..."

What they were thinking about at this moment was what Xiao Yi said, that the significance of this project was even greater than that of the first atomic bomb explosion.

Once completed, they will all receive praise from across the country and society!
Such motivation is undoubtedly quite powerful for them.

For a moment, the whole scene was filled with cheers.

Similarly, they were completely convinced by Xiao Yi, the chief engineer who was younger than them.

Xiao Yi smiled slightly, then turned his head again, looked at Engineer Xu, and said, "Okay, Engineer Xu, now take me to see those cooling pipes."

"it is good!"

At this time, Mr. Xu was also very excited by what Xiao Yi had just said. He nodded immediately, and then took Xiao Yi to the side.

"Inside."

Came to a box next to it.

Because of the requirements for cleanliness and dust-free, even the boxes containing these cooling pipes are quite clean.

However, there should have been a label installed inside the box, indicating the installation number, installation area, and installation sequence of these cooling pipes, but this label is now missing.

Of course, the easiest way is to spray the corresponding number directly on the pipe, which is also a common labeling method in other projects.

However, because this is a nuclear fusion device, absolute error-freeness is pursued in all aspects. If it is sprayed with paint, it may affect the heat dissipation capacity of a single part, so this numbering method is directly passed.

Xiao Yi walked to the boxes, looked at them, and began to observe.

There are four cooling pipes in total, and they all look the same, making it difficult to tell how to assemble them.

But for Xiao Yi, it was quite simple.

"Take out these four tubes so I can take a closer look."

"it is good."

Mr. Xu nodded, and then directed the workers to operate the equipment nearby to take out the four cooling pipes.

Xiao Yi began to observe and walked around the four tubes.

The people around were also very curious about how Xiao Yi could figure out where the four pipes should be installed.

Is it really okay to just stare like this?

But what they didn't know was that Xiao Yi's vision had changed at this time and he entered the sight of the perfect project.

Under this kind of sight, all the details are visible in his eyes.

So it didn't take long for him to find the location of these cooling pipes.

Soon, he fully determined the result.

"These are the vacuum chamber cooling tubes, numbered B13-37 to B13-40."

Then he pointed to the tubes and said, "This one is 37, this one is 38, 39, 40."

"That's it."

“B13…B13…”

After hearing what Xiao Yi said, the workers recalled a little bit in their minds, and their originally vague memories immediately became clear. They nodded one after another: "Yes, yes! It is the pipeline responsible for the B13 area of ​​the vacuum chamber. The code should be 37 to 40."

Even though they had some idea before, they were not sure. After all, what if they were wrong?
And now with Xiao Yi's confirmation, they were basically confirmed immediately.

The people around immediately looked at Xiao Yi in surprise.

Wow, you actually figured this out?

And so fast!

This took less than half a minute, right?

How did Chief Engineer Xiao do it?
Even Zhao Zhanyou, who was standing by, looked incredulous and asked repeatedly, "How did you know this? Can you guess this?"

Xiao Yi smiled and just said: "I designed the whole thing. It's all in my mind."

Pointing at his head, Zhao Zhanyou was surprised and sighed in his heart that it was no wonder that Xiao Yi could achieve such great success. With such ability, he couldn't help but be convinced!

Xiao Yi then turned around and said to the workers on site: "Okay, let's assemble these cooling pipes first and make sure they can be aligned. Other comrades, please continue now."

"it is good!"

The workers present responded one after another.

If Xiao Yi's words just now only made them feel convinced, then the ability Xiao Yi demonstrated now made them admire him.

The entire project is so huge and the parts are so complicated that it is incredible to be able to identify where a few cooling pipes should be installed in such a short time.

This is what a chief designer is!
……

Subsequent work continued, and Xiao Yi also stayed on site to watch the assembly. As the cooling pipes began to be assembled and installed in the corresponding areas, there were no errors in the subsequent installation. All the pipes in area B13 were installed normally, which showed that Xiao Yi's judgment was completely correct.

This also made the workers present even more excited. Having a leader who could quickly make up for mistakes was a shot in the arm for them.

As a result, the overall efficiency has been greatly improved.

In this way, the entire installation process has become more orderly.
