Unless they were highly experienced mechanics, it was hard to judge a vehicle's condition from the sound of its engine. Diagnosing a vehicle by listening was a skill limited to a few top experts.
As Li Bai looked around and touched this and that, he also asked the maintenance crew about how they used the armored vehicles.
Since his old man was the one who'd be using them, he decided to use his Special Ability to help assess them.
By the time he'd inspected all eight armored vehicles, Old Li and Regiment Commander Qian had finally finished their discussion and walked side by side into the maintenance crew's garage.
Regiment Commander Qian asked with a broad smile, "Major Xue, what do you think?"
He and Old Li had been getting along famously. They'd quickly agreed on the general direction and ironed out a lot of the details, and could start drafting the application report at any time.
"Comrade Li Bai is practically an expert. He's very experienced, and I'd say he's got a good impression of them. We take great care of these vehicles."
Major Xue had no choice but to force himself to say what he didn't mean.
The man was a doctor, yet he kept asking about the vehicles' critical components. There was no hiding their true condition from him.
Had this young man taken apart a Type 86 infantry fighting vehicle as a kid? He was practically an old hand.
In less than an hour, he'd gotten a pretty good idea of the condition of all eight vehicles, even though none had actually been started. It was as if he'd repaired them himself.
It was simply unbelievable!
If they took him for nothing more than Director Li's son or a young doctor, they'd be badly mistaken.
