Of course Fang Linyan didn't know that so many dirty things were happening behind the scenes.
However, when he first entered the captain's room, he knew that his previous guess was correct.
Because what appeared on the light curtain opposite Latvis was the scene of him repairing and welding in front of the door.
After seeing Fang Linyan arriving, Latvis immediately stood up to greet him, laughing and saying:
"I never expected that Mr. Ruvel is so talented in mechanical maintenance."
Fang Linyan smiled and said:
"Normally I just like classic cars. It's very difficult to repair these antiques, so I usually practice a lot..."
"By the way, Captain, you can call me Battery, that's what my friends all call me."
Fang Linyan also discovered at this time that in the captain's room, in addition to Latvis and Jha, there was a middle-aged man whose right hand was broken at the elbow and had been replaced with a robot hand.
Latvis took the initiative to introduce him. This was Sanchez, the first mate on the spacecraft.
These three people should be the current decision-makers on the Coles.
Latvis smiled and then said solemnly:
"Well, the purpose of coming to you this time is because there is a big matter that may require your help."
Fang Linyan said calmly:
"Well, Mr. Latvian, please tell me."
Latvis said:
"The Coles was traveling normally on the waterway, but for some reason, it accidentally hit the meteorite belt, and the meteorite belt was still flying and moving."
"The biggest problem we are facing now has become insufficient power, because the energy shield is a large energy consumer, and the problem with the No. 2 engine is the fundamental reason."
"Although I have activated the backup engine now, the Coles has been deeply trapped in the meteorite belt and has been damaged in many places. At present, it can only maintain the status quo..."
At this time, Jha added seriously:
"Due to previous sudden disasters, experienced manpower suffered heavy casualties."
"I can drive the engineering ship close to the damaged area of the No. 2 engine, but there is still a shortage of one person to control our engineering exoskeleton equipment to carry out a series of repair work."
After hearing this, Fang Linyan was immediately surprised and said:
"What? Engineering exoskeleton equipment?"
For Fang Linyan, this is really a brand new field.
But this sentence made the other three people’s hearts jump suddenly!
Because they have a total of ten sets of engineering exoskeleton equipment, but all of them are shady contraband!
Fang Linyan's rhetorical question happened to ask about the weakest link in their hearts.
Fortunately, what Fang Linyan said next made them breathe a sigh of relief:
"Everyone is in the same boat now. If I can help, of course I will."
"But I don't seem to have any contact with this device at all. Will this delay your business?"
Jieha never expected that Fang Linyan would be so cheerful. He prepared a lot of words of persuasion but none of them came in handy, so he immediately said:
"No, no, no! This thing is easy to operate. It's just like using a wrench or screwdriver. You can do it just by touching it!"
For Jie Ha, as long as he is not allowed to go into battle to operate it personally and the blame does not fall on him, that would be a blessing.
Little did he know that for Fang Linyan, seeing this brand-new operating machine was like a drunkard seeing a peerless wine, a gourmet discovering a lost delicacy, or an otaku seeing ASU-311.
Even if he is asked to give money, he will definitely try his best to experience it, not to mention that there will be a high degree of completion waiting for him.
But Fang Linyan knew very well the principle of playing hard to get, so he said in a very embarrassed tone:
"This No. 2 engine is related to the life and death of everyone on the ship. I don't think it's appropriate for a rookie like me to do it."
After hearing this, the three of them tried hard to persuade, and even Latvis, an old fox, did not hesitate to reveal his trump card, saying that he still had a trick up his sleeve.
That is, this trip also brought a new banned additive "Pandora" energy crystal.
When the backup engine is about to be unable to withstand it, sprinkle this additive into it and it can still last for ten hours.
However, after using this energy additive, the backup engine will completely blow up when it is exhausted.
So it doesn't matter even if Fang Linyan is a novice, he can practice for seven or eight hours and just be stable.
When the conversation came to this point, Fang Linyan also knew the principle of giving up when things were good, so he nodded happily.
Of course, he made a request at the same time, saying that he had offended a gang member before and was afraid that they would attack his friends...
When Latvis heard this, he immediately made a stern announcement to the whole ship:
It is said that Mr. Rouvel, nicknamed Battery, and his friends are honored guests on this ship and have made great contributions to this ship.
Anyone who dares to offend will be treated as an unwelcome guest and forcibly ejected.
After hearing the news, the people in the Blood Team must have been shocked and angry.
The vulture Lipul even looked at Fang Lin Yan and the others with special eyes...
***
Time was running out, and soon Jie Ha brought Fang Linyan to the secret warehouse.
Then he turned on a black PE-700 SCI, which is commonly known as engineering exoskeleton equipment. It is the backbone of construction and repair tasks in the Federation.
The two loose tracks equipped by default on its bottom allow the SCI to adapt to various terrain needs.
At the same time, this propulsion device can be replaced with a jet device within ten seconds. In this case, on normal land, SCI can carry out floating operations no more than three meters above the ground.
The jet device also ensures that SIC can be successfully used for a long time in gravity-free space.
Its left arm is a multi-functional robotic arm that can switch between welding guns, drill bits, excavation shovels, etc. at any time. Its right arm is a giant steel pliers used to grab various engineering materials.
This thing was originally standard equipment for the military. Under normal circumstances, one must undergo three months of training and then obtain the relevant operating certificate before being qualified to operate such high-end equipment.
And most of the civilian products are products such as PE-500 that have been eliminated by the military and distributed to civilians.
If you are caught smuggling the latest products like PE-700, you will be severely punished.
At this time, Latvis and others were forced to have no choice but to let Fang Linyan control this thing for maintenance. Otherwise, Fang Linyan would not be able to access it.
A high-end product like this will definitely have the most complete teaching 3D images.
After Jack powered on the black PE-7000, he first forcibly cracked the protection program.
Then an avatar of an officer appeared next to him, and the teaching began.
Fang Linyan quickly pressed the on/off button of SCI according to the instruction of the teaching portrait.
Then after powering on smoothly, I entered a series of preset passwords to activate the SCI, then sat in and started the self-test program that lasted more than ten seconds.
While the self-test program was running, Fang Linyan was not idle. First, he adjusted the height and angle of the seat.
Then he put on the built-in somatosensory gloves. The 372 touch-sensitive adapters inside the gloves can perfectly read the relevant signals.
Let the seemingly bulky SCI make synchronized movements with Lin Yan. It is also very user-friendly and equipped with air conditioning, music,
It greatly enhances the driver's entertainment and comfort while doing boring work.
After the self-test procedure was completed, Fang Linyan began to control the SCI and effortlessly grabbed the heavy titanium steel alloy plate next to it.
Then he started to perform a series of operations based on the teaching influence, and soon, the dazzling argon arc welding light began to shine.
After about ten minutes of controlling the machine, Fang Linyan understood the difficulty of controlling this thing.
That is the interactivity between the somatosensory gloves and the SCI robotic arm.
To put it more intuitively, it is like adjusting the speed of the mouse to the maximum when playing computer games. In this case, most people feel dizzy.
But it still requires you to play chicken in three open modes, keep cutting the screen and then shoot accurately.
In actual operation, if Fang Linyan controls the somatosensory glove to move one millimeter, the robotic arm will probably move ten centimeters.
If Fang Linyan's somatosensory glove makes a mistake during welding, the robotic arm will amplify the mistake dozens of times.
Not only that, when welding later, you will be in outer space, and the surrounding situation will change rapidly...
The spacecraft was not only flying, but Fang Linyan had to keep parallel to it, which was disturbing enough.
The spacecraft may change direction drastically at any time to avoid meteorites.
After the spacecraft is hit by a small meteorite, the hull itself may also vibrate.
What's even more terrible is that there is no need to dodge some small meteorite spacecraft. Once it hits the SCI, it will be life-threatening.
Under such circumstances, it’s no wonder that Jie Ha insisted on abdicating his throne and even claiming to be inferior to Fang Linyan...
Damn! There must be a reason behind it!
It took more than two hours of back and forth practice. Fang Linyan was also doing it for his own benefit and started practicing with the materials they provided.
