Chapter 19 The first to become an engineering apprentice
"As a master of engineering, if you need this material, I can give it to you without spending money on it!"
"What's the price? Treacherous human being, tell me your purpose!" Harry was not happy when he heard this, but became more cautious.
"My request is a piece of cake for you! I hope you can make an exception and accept me as your apprentice and let me follow you to study engineering. This will satisfy my small wish!"
Harry's face finally looked much better when he heard that Yue Feng had been wandering around for a long time, and his purpose was actually to learn engineering as an apprentice. It was just a matter of accepting an apprentice, which was really easy for Harry.
"Engineering is a very great subject. If you want to gain anything, you need long-term practice!
Your physical strength is too low and you cannot stay focused for a long time. This will have a serious impact on your experience accumulation. Knowing this, are you still sure you want to become my apprentice?"
"Yes! I always believe that hard work can make up for weakness!" Yue Feng nodded.
Harry nodded, casually took off a mechanical gear-shaped necklace hanging around his neck, and pressed it on Yue Feng.
A gear-shaped shadow flashed and disappeared into Yue Feng's mind. At the same time, a long-lost system prompt sounded.
Ding! Engineering master Harry Young has accepted you as an engineering apprentice. You have new engineering drawings to learn! Prepare materials and practice repeatedly according to the requirements on the drawings. You can gain proficiency growth by making works that meet the requirements!
Facing the reminder, Yue Feng immediately opened the drawing study page.
Rough machine bolt drawing!
Inferior gunpowder extraction process
Rough bullet casing drawings
Rough pig iron wrench drawing
…
There are still a lot of basic drawings that you can learn from Harry Young, but don't think this is a good thing.
Harry was right about one thing. Engineering is indeed a complex subject, and its complexity has already begun to manifest itself from the apprenticeship stage.
If players want to make something useful and good, they need to spend a lot of energy and a lot of proficiency in materials.
These two pages of low-level practice drawings are the source of proficiency.
It starts from the most basic material processing, making small parts bit by bit, then combining the parts into modules, and finally turning them into engineering items.
You have to learn it sooner or later, and the price is not expensive, one silver coin per piece. Yue Feng spent 37 silver coins to learn all the practice drawings that can be learned in the current apprenticeship stage.
"Cunning adventurer, as an engineering instructor, I need to remind you that as an apprentice, more drawings are not always better. During practice, a lot of materials and resources will be consumed, so you need to proceed step by step!"
Yue Feng grinned when he heard Harry's reminder: "You have to learn it sooner or later anyway, right? I will solve these small problems myself. Please fix my gauntlet as soon as possible!"
"Don't worry, this level of work is not a problem for me!" Harry curled his lips, turned around and continued working, and ignored Yue Feng.
When repairing and maintaining the mechanical handguard, Harry did not shy away from Yue Feng watching. Yue Feng turned on the camera function in the game and watched Harry remove the mechanical parts one by one from beginning to end, then inspect and clean them.
Apply oil and then put it back to its original position.
After working for more than half an hour, after reinstalling the power supply core, Harry clicked the gauntlet shell into place and completed all the repair work.
"After my maintenance, this pair of gauntlets has been restored to its peak condition! The materials and labor costs cost a total of one gold coin and 53 silver coins! Thank you for your patronage!"
Hearing the repair price reported by Harry, Yue Feng felt a burst of pain again.
“So expensive!”
"This is a comprehensive overhaul and maintenance to replace the core energy source! Do you think you can just open it and replace it with a broken stone?
Let me tell you this, after using my hands, the performance of this pair of gloves has improved by at least 5%! You actually think it is too expensive?
When you become a junior engineer and you can repair it yourself, you will know how much my fees are worth!"
Harry kept chattering, his words full of pride as a master.
"Uh, okay!" Yue Feng reluctantly paid the bill and took back his gauntlet.
After maintenance and repairs, have the attributes been improved? You should take a closer look at this!
Yue Feng re-equipped the gauntlet and immediately checked its attributes.
【Eugene's Mechanical Gauntlet】
Level: None
Current quality rating: Blue Excellent
Type: Equipable rare items
Equipment parts: hands
Attributes:
Defense 16
Damage:10-12
Additional: Strength 10, Stamina 10
Additional equipment special effects: [Mechanical Assistance]
[Mechanical assist]: Wrist strength 100
Persistent value: 1000/1000
Introduction: It is said that this is a great invention of a goblin engineering master, which can significantly improve the wrist strength of the wearer.
Note: Engineering creations can be equipped and upgraded. After being equipped, they are bound to the character and cannot be dropped, stolen or traded.
The basic attributes are not improved much, the armor value is increased by one point, and the attack limit is increased by two points.
The only significant improvement is in the durability. When I bought it, it only had an upper limit of 500, and the lower limit was just over 100. Now after Harry Young's comprehensive maintenance, the durability value has become a full value of 1,000 points.
"Well, the durability and attributes have indeed been improved! Dear Master Harry, I have another question to ask you! This mechanical gauntlet can be upgraded. I don't know what materials are needed? Can you help me give it to him?
Upgrade?"
After hearing Yue Feng's question about the engineering major, Harry put away his pretense of dignity and became more solemn.
After thinking for a while, Harry rarely shook his head: "The upgrade is not complicated. If you need it, I can give you a list of materials needed for the upgrade!
But I need to remind you that we have reached the highest energy efficiency ratio at this stage.
If you continue to carry out incomplete upgrades on this basis, the attributes will not be greatly improved!
And if it is a comprehensive upgrade, it will cost a high price and it will also become difficult to control!"
"Well, it would be nice to give me a list of materials that I can prepare in advance! According to you, when do you think I can control the upgraded mechanical handguard?"
Harry looked up and down Yue Feng's outfit and said, "At least I need to have a deeper understanding of my current profession!"
"One turn?" Yue Feng continued to test.
"Well, according to you adventurers, it will take at least one turn! You are too weak now. Even Wednesday at the door can easily send you to see God with a musket!
In addition, the improvement of engineering will also effectively improve your ability to control machinery. If you can become a formal engineer, you can also control it easily!
I’ll write you the upgrade materials. It’s a good habit to prepare the materials in advance!”
While talking, Harry found an abandoned blueprint and wrote detailed upgrade materials to Yue Feng.
