The "Sky Eye Cloud Inspection" interface on the tablet and the LCD screen of the A-39 "Big Mouth Monster" inspection panel simultaneously displayed prompts.
"First, perform a quick self-test to check all integrated modules of the airframe. If there are no problems, then conduct in-depth specialized tests one by one, focusing on the sensors, avionics system communication and flight control modules, and engine components."
Being young and a university student, he learned everything quickly. Under the one-on-one instruction of Chief Engineer Xiao Ming, Chen Fei quickly became familiar with the basic operation of the professional inspection software, "Sky Eye Cloud Inspection."
Basic maintenance of the A-39B "Big Mouth Monster" light turboprop attack aircraft doesn't require extensive disassembly. By connecting a tablet to the onboard computer's maintenance module via a dedicated data cable, the tablet can receive data from sensors on each component, providing a general understanding of the aircraft's current status.
If a fault is detected, it can be described as "replace what's broken, so easy!" The
"Big Mouth Monster" boasts a high degree of integration, even incorporating quick-release designs, allowing for easy disassembly and replacement of modular assemblies without requiring numerous tools or equipment.
As a professional aviation maintenance software, "Sky Eye Cloud Inspection" also offers more advanced and complex functions. With Chen Fei's newly acquired permissions, he can only use the basic mode; there are intermediate, advanced, and engineer modes beyond that.
After instructing Chen Fei on how to use the "Sky Eye Cloud Inspection," Xiao Ming said with utmost seriousness, "You must always remember the most important 'Heinrich's Law': behind every serious accident, there are inevitably 29 minor accidents, 300 near misses, and 1000 potential hazards."
If a fighter pilot dies in an aerial duel, even if the plane is destroyed and the pilot is gone, the only blame is on themselves—it's a matter of skill, fate, or destiny.
But sending a defective fighter jet into the air, causing unnecessary losses or even casualties, is murder, unforgivable.
For every minute an aircraft flies, ten times the time is spent on maintenance and upkeep on the ground; there can be no room for carelessness.
The maintenance team's job is to ensure that the air knights go to battle with qualified weapons and return alive as much as possible.
Following the instructions of Chief Maintenance Officer Xiao Ming, Chen Fei, carrying a dedicated data cable, plugged it into every single aircraft in Hangar No. 1, not even missing the two armed helicopters.
Armed Helicopters: 〒▽〒 The
The "Sky Eye Cloud Inspection" system supports the inspection of more than just the A-39B "Big Mouth Monster" light turboprop attack aircraft; it covers hundreds of models, including most of the improved versions.
Finding a quiet, unoccupied work area at the very edge, Chen Fei leaned against a workbench, holding a thick "Big Mouth Monster" technical manual (A). He frowned as he compared the data with the data just retrieved by the "Sky Eye Cloud Inspection" software on his tablet. Suddenly, someone pushed a small cart in.
"Sunflower seeds, peanuts, beer, masturbation sleeves, sex toys—anyone want some?"
Sunflower seeds, peanuts, beer… uh… Something strange seemed to have snuck in.
In fact, even condoms are military supplies; anything related to the military is nothing unusual.
Chen Fei's ears twitched. He looked up and followed the sound, seeing a kind-looking man with single eyelids pushing a cart full of things around the hangar.
The man didn't approach the work area but just circled around the flight squadron members. The maintenance crew seemed used to it, letting him hawk his wares while continuing with their work.
"Park Ai-hwa, a dozen Tsingtao beers, and a bag of fried peanuts,"
One of the men playing cards called out.
"Okay, okay!"
The man who was called quickly grabbed his items from the cart and eagerly brought them over.
After the beer and peanuts, others ordered potato chips, chocolate, and other snacks.
The flight squadron was the highest-paid group in the aircrew base; all departments revolved around them, and every pilot was quite well-off.
After emptying a tenth of the cart, Park Ai-hwa circled the work area again.
Besides the pilots, he sometimes managed to close one or two deals with the maintenance crew. Every little bit counted, and he wouldn't let it slip by; if he closed one, it would be another source of income.
"New here?"
The trolley circled around and finally stopped in front of Chen Fei. The honest-looking man blinked his single eyelid, curiously sizing up the young man.
"Hello, I'm Chen Fei, a newbie in the mechanics team, first day on the job."
Chen Fei quickly put down the thick, heavy technical manual. Beside him was BCDEFG, stacked almost as large as Park Ai-hwa's trolley. In this era of digital documents and e-readers, paper books haven't been eliminated; they've become an important medium for high-quality literary reading and technical books.
The other person shook hands with Chen Fei, seemingly flattered, showing none of the arrogance of a veteran employee. Instead, they were very humble, saying, "Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. I'm Park Ai-hwa, from Korea. I assist Chef Abel in the cafeteria and do some small business on the side. What would you like to buy? I have everything, good quality and cheap."
The aircrew base didn't have a convenience store, which allowed this shrewd and meticulous individual to seize the opportunity. They got themselves a small cart and bought and sold things in their spare time to earn a little extra money to supplement their income. Because they were always respectful and smiling, keeping a very low profile, no one could get angry with them. Over time, people turned a blind eye and tacitly approved of Park Ai-hwa using her spare time to sell things.
When the other person tried to sell to him, Chen Fei quickly waved his hand and said, "Thank you, but I don't need anything right now."
He was heavily in debt and extremely poor; he had no spare money to waste.
"It's alright; it's fate that we met for the first time. Here's a little gift to show our friendship. How about this? It's a newly arrived masturbator; it's really good, very lubricating. Or how about this? A space cup is also very useful. Drinking more hot water is good for your health."
This Mr. Park was indeed very good at business. He took things directly from the cart, determined to get closer to Chen Fei, even if it was free.
Even if the business didn't go through, the favor would remain, and he would still patronize Mr. Park's business in the future, even if he didn't need anything.
You have to give to receive.
However, the masturbator and the space cup, inside and outside the atmosphere, seemed like a harmonious pair.
"No, no, really no, thank you!"
Chen Fei resolutely refused to accept the two cups that were being forced upon him, as if they were burning hot coals.
After a long back-and-forth, Park Ai-hua finally gave up, sighing, "There's really no other way!"
Just when Chen Fei thought he was about to give up, Park Ai-hua turned around and pulled out a small bird's nest made of intertwined grass branches.
"This is a monster egg that someone gave me as a bonus when I was buying goods. It's really free; please accept it. Otherwise, you're disrespecting me, and I, Park Ai-hua, will be very angry, and the consequences will be severe."
It was as if Chen Fei refusing the free egg meant he was looking down on Park Ai-hua.
A monster egg?
Chen Fei, both amused and exasperated, looked at the natural bird's nest. A bluish-green bird egg surrounded by soft down feathers, barely larger than a quail egg, clearly just an ordinary bird's nest and egg. What a shrewd merchant!
Monsters are a specialty of the Azure Realm, opposite the "Halo" portal. What price does even the weakest monster cost? Doesn't this shrewd businessman have any idea?
Even someone with a fortune wouldn't casually give away a monster to someone they've just met; that's more wasteful than extravagance, pure folly.
"If it hatches into a powerful monster, you'll have struck gold."
But Park Ai-hua, completely oblivious to the fact that what she held was a monster egg, smiled with genuine sincerity, forcefully pushing the bird's nest towards Chen Fei, even adding a delicate cardboard box as an extra.
If he didn't accept it today, this wouldn't be over.
"Alright! I'll accept this gift, thank you, Brother Park."
Having no other choice, Chen Fei had to accept the tiny, seemingly weightless bird's nest.
If he didn't accept it, she would definitely pester him, and his work would inevitably be affected.
This was his first day on the job. If he couldn't leave a good impression on his superiors, he might face serious consequences in the future, perhaps even being given the cold shoulder.
"Changliang, you go ahead with your work. I won't bother you anymore. If you need anything, just come find me!"
Park Ai-hua nodded vigorously, patted Chen Fei's arm, and despite saying she wouldn't bother him, she still fussed around for several minutes before finally pushing her cart away from Hangar 1, satisfied, to continue bothering other departments.
Chen Fei, holding the bird's nest, looked helpless. What on earth was going on?
Was this some kind of charlatan?
