English translation:bomb bay
Explanation:
In military context 舱 also refers to bomb housing.

弹舱

飞机弹舱加强梁三层防腐修复工艺
Three-Layer Anticorrosive Renovating Process of the Aeroplane Bomb Bay Stiffening Beam

舱內

舱內可攜帶多達12000公斤的常規炸彈。

So 舱机操作手= bomb bay operator (?) There must be a special title for this task.

Perhaps "setting bomb bay to zero" then means "releasing bombs/payload".

The specific hold/release mechanism inside the bomb bay is called "bomb cradle":

"Full-sized bombs (typically nuclear weapons) are dropped from hook-type releases or bomb cradles".
