The small room built with partitions is not only very poor in sound insulation, but also only about 10 square meters in area, and in addition to the 360-degree monitor, there is only a small workbench full of various things left in the room.

This is the assessment site that Hu Xiaopeng is going to fight this afternoon, and there are thousands of similar small rooms in the huge competition center.

A set of mechanical gloves that have been debugged and inspected by the Machinery Bureau, and in the case of unauthorized opening, can only be called a metal pimple.

A computer used to participate in the assessment, but it can only connect to the question bank and the intranet of the exam, so that no one can search for available materials from the Internet.

A metal box half a meter square, which occupies most of the free space on the workbench, and is also affixed with a seal with the words "Machinery Bureau" in the opening position, and the contents inside the metal box are the final test questions of the "Mechanical Ability Test".

No one knew what was inside the metal box, or even what type of thing it belonged to.

If you're lucky, the contents of the box are likely to be familiar to you in your own industry, and you can't even rule out things that you have been exposed to and studied.

And if you're unlucky, then maybe it's something that can't be compared to your own eight poles.

No one is not curious about the content of the final aptitude test, but even if they can ignore the seal on the metal box, then they have no way to check the contents of the metal box in advance, because if they want to open the key system that locks the box, they can only wait for the invigilator team to announce the opening code that can determine the fate of hundreds of people.

As for the announcement time, it was at two o'clock this afternoon, and half an hour before that, Hu Xiaopeng and the others could only sit at the workbench and complete the assessment papers provided by the computer.

Paper? There is even a written test process for answering questions in the mechanic level assessment? Like a child's exam?

Of course, there is, but the questions on this test paper can never be a cultural class such as a number of languages, but all the knowledge about machinery, including some mechanical knowledge, as well as safety matters in the use of various types of machinery and equipment, as well as how to deal with emergencies and so on.

It's just that these contents are just some basic knowledge, and I believe that it will never make any of the professional mechanics present rack their brains, because even in the lowest assistant-level assessment, the content is actually basically the same, and it is definitely the foundation of the basics, even if you want to deliberately lose points, it is not easy.

However, the proportion of these basic knowledge in the total score of the assessment is too low, and the proportion of the score will decrease with the increase of the level.

For example, when you first take the assistant mechanic exam, the basic knowledge may still account for nearly half of the score in the written test, but when you reach the sixth level mechanic, the basic knowledge will only account for less than 20% of the score.

And when Hu Xiaopeng took the eighth-level mechanic exam at this time, according to the scores announced in the test paper, the proportion of basic knowledge in the score of this written test was only about ten percent.

If the full score of this test paper is 100 points, then the basic knowledge can only account for 10 points, which is absolutely dispensable, and the remaining 90 points are actually the focus of the written test part, because this part considers the design and drawing ability of a mechanic.

For the two proposition design questions, the mechanics participating in the assessment should independently design according to the requirements in the test paper and draw the corresponding drawings in the test paper.

Half an hour to complete both the basic knowledge assessment and the completion of an unknown set of design drawings seems to be a bit stretched.

But in fact, half an hour is already very generous, at least for Hu Xiaopeng, those basic knowledge may only take less than five minutes to complete, even if there is really a mistake, then it doesn't matter, because this 10% score is harmless at all.

So when the assessment begins, as the computer screen suddenly lights up and the test questions pop up, the first thing Hu Xiaopeng has to do is to check the last two proposition designs, after all, in his opinion, the proposition design that occupies 90% is the only way to ensure a passing score.

"Mid-mounted liquid REM evaporator."

"Parameter requirements: evaporation capacity of more than 120MM/h, heat dissipation capacity of 3.56 btu/h, mechanical size of 300*100*200 (MM), prefabricated energy ......"

……

"Portable Lifting (Lifting) Loading and Unloading Equipment."

"Parameter requirements: total weight below 1500g, maximum lifting (lifting) above 300KG, hydraulic and air compressor design can be used, and the total power consumption is less than 20BHP......"

……

"I'm making up, such a small size and heat dissipation index, it is necessary to have such a high evaporation capacity."

"300 kg lifting is no problem, but the total power consumption is 20BHP, does your sister think it is a design of children's toy cars?"

"These two questions alone will probably make half of the people give up on their own initiative."

Looking at the design of the last two propositions in the written test, Hu Xiaopeng couldn't help but vomit in his heart.

But complaining and complaining, Hu Xiaopeng will not really be stumped by such a small mechanical equipment, but he is just a little surprised.

Because he had long heard that the difficulty of the assessment at different levels would vary greatly, but Hu Xiaopeng never imagined that the gap between level seven and level eight would be so different.

Yesterday's proposition design for the seventh-level mechanic was nothing more than the supercharger and drop of an old-fashioned six-cylinder engine, as well as the analysis of the cross-sectional structure of the four-position primordial machine.

But today's assessment content has reached the level of independently designing two new machines, and such a span is simply from an inconspicuous small mound to a mountain above 100 meters above sea level.

Of course, even if the exam question is to design two brand-new mechanical equipment, then it will not be difficult for Hu Xiaopeng, but what Hu Xiaopeng is worried and surprised about is another thing.

And this matter is that today I am already facing a relatively difficult mountain, so tomorrow's ninth-level mechanic assessment, will it be a continuous mountain range that makes it difficult for me to walk?

As for the assessment of the tenth-level mechanic, what awaits him will be Mount Everest, the world's first peak that even professional mountaineers would be afraid of.

"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, if you can't even do this, you can still be your sister's chief mechanic."

"Well, I don't know what's in that box yet, don't let me down......"

Thinking of this, Hu Xiaopeng subconsciously turned his head to look at the metal box that was still tightly locked next to him.

did not show the same worry and fear as many people, at this time, Hu Xiaopeng looked at the metal box with a trace of expectation in his eyes.

Shaking his hands lightly, without thinking at all, Hu Xiaopeng had already begun to "randomly" draw design sketches in the computer.

"Knock ......"

"Knock ......"

"Bang ......"

Just as Hu Xiaopeng drew up the first sketch and was about to officially make the design drawing, the corridor outside the door remembered the sound of heavy door slamming one after another.

"Someone gave up so quickly? It seems that there are very few people who can persist in the final aptitude test today. ”

Listening to the loud bangs outside the door, Hu Xiaopeng slowly turned his head to look in the direction of the door, although because the door was closed, he couldn't see any scene outside the door, but Hu Xiaopeng knew that the sound of the door slamming represented that a mechanic chose to give up the written test and gave up the ability test that had not started at all.

At this time, it was only 1:33 p.m., that is, the assessment had just started for three minutes.

The basics are as good as a mechanic, because it's too basic.

But when it comes to proposition design, it's not something that any machinist can easily face.

Although the people participating in the assessment are all mechanics, the range of industries engaged in by mechanics is very wide, from small traders and vendors specializing in motorcycles and electrical equipment on the roadside, to professionals who can access high-tech equipment such as IA and IM, in fact, they all belong to the category of mechanics.

As a result, not every machinist can complete non-professional design work across disciplines.

For example, in the chef industry, even in a broad sense, whether it is a Western chef or a Chinese chef, they are collectively called chefs, and a chef who specializes in Western food can make a table of sumptuous Chinese food.

Same profession, but different areas of expertise.

So this is the direct reason why some people choose to give up after seeing the proposition design.

And this kind of thing is actually not strange to Hu Xiaopeng, who has already participated in an assessment yesterday, and Hu Xiaopeng also knows that no matter how loud their noise is, then they can't change anything, let alone change the exam questions because of someone's unwillingness, so all they can do is vent the depression and helplessness in their hearts.

The sound of the door closing continued, and in just ten minutes, Hu Xiaopeng had heard no less than 20 times of the sound of the door closing, and this was only the situation on the first floor where Hu Xiaopeng was, and I believe that in other floors, it was actually the same.

The two-and-a-half-hour assessment has just begun, and before the final aptitude test begins, the written test alone may be enough to reduce the number of assessors who would have been hundreds by nearly half.

And the people who will eventually be able to complete the mechanical ability test may be the same as yesterday, but there are only a few dozen.

But even among these dozens of people, there may be very few who can finally get the eighth-level mechanic license.

It is not an exaggeration to use "one in a hundred" to describe the "mechanic license recognition and promotion assessment".

Countless people have worked hard for a higher registration, but countless more people have come home because of it.

Cycle after cycle, year after year, there may be disappointment, there may be helplessness, but no one has really given up the pursuit of promotion.

And as time went by, Hu Xiaopeng, who had been immersed in the design drawings, didn't care about the sound of the door closing one after another, and he didn't know how many people could successfully complete the two design drawings, let alone whether the speed of his completion was fast or slow, in short, when the assessment was carried out in the nineteenth minute, Hu Xiaopeng's two design drawings were finally completed.

Fortunately, it is only two design drawings, not a full set of design drawings.

Fortunately, these two propositions are not too difficult to mechanical, and Hu Xiaopeng has been in contact with similar mechanical equipment before, otherwise Hu Xiaopeng may not have done it so quickly and "easily".

It stands to reason that Hu Xiaopeng at this time should have completed the basic knowledge questions that he had been ignoring before, but because this computer does not have the ability to simulate testing and modeling, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Hu Xiaopeng can only rely on his own experience and feeling to judge the reliability and theoretical parameters of these two design drawings.

"Even if it can't meet all the parameter requirements, the technical indicators at this stage are enough to get a passing score."

This is the twenty-fifth minute of the assessment, after repeated visual inspections, Hu Xiaopeng made a judgment on these two design drawings.

And it was only at this time that Hu Xiaopeng, who was relieved, adjusted the interface of the screen and prepared to complete the previous basic knowledge questions.

At the 30th minute, as the countdown to the written test in the lower right corner of the computer screen ends, the original test paper page instantly enters the locked state.

At the bottom of the lock prompt page, a string of more than a dozen digits of serial code appears, which also indicates the official start of the most important "mechanical ability test" in the assessment.

Because the serial code that appears on the screen at this time is the secret key to open the metal box next to each mechanic.
