Chapter 231: Good Sam (1/3)
The lifeboat slowly descended beside Zhang Yuan, and after reaching Zhang Yuan's side, an opening was opened, and after Zhang Yuan sat down, the opening was closed, and the lifeboat took off again and flew towards the starry sky in the distance. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Ten minutes later, through the small window of the lifeboat, Zhang Yuan saw a simple cargo spaceship.
The main body of the spaceship is a large rectangular cargo box, the cargo box is more than 300 meters long and about 50 meters wide, and a thruster is mounted on the back of the cargo box, and on the left side of the thruster hangs the energy core of the cheapest large Buffalo spaceship in the Aum Empire, and on the right side carries a circular living cabin less than 10 meters long and wide, which is also the flight destination of the lifeboat.
The lifeboat slowly leaned over, and a few seconds later, Zhang Yuan heard a soft sound of 'click', the lifeboat and the living cabin docked successfully, and a sound of air flow appeared 'sneer~', and the sealed door in the docking pipeline opened, and a middle-aged man with a stubble appeared behind the door.
The appearance of the Aum Imperial people is also very similar to humans, with hands and feet, walking upright, the difference is that the skin is brownish-red, the hair and eyes are dark brown, and there is a large nose, although it looks a little weird, but in general, it is still in line with human aesthetics.
The middle-aged man's clothes were stained with mechanical lubricants, his left hand was holding a large fixed twist wrench, his right hand was inserted into his waist, and a small electromagnetic paralysis gun was tied to his belt. ”
Good intentions are good intentions, but if a stranger of unknown origin is fished out of interstellar space, anyone will be cautious.
Zhang Yuan had already made up his past.
While unbuttoning his space suit, he said, "My name is Zhang Yuan, a native of the Crimson Empire, I caused trouble in the Empire, committed a crime, and found a way to smuggle over." ”
"Committing a crime? What did you do? There was a hint of nervousness on the middle-aged man's face, and although the person he rescued looked young, he looked calm, and he didn't look like a stowaway who needed to be rescued at all.
"In the academy, I fought with people, and I shot too hard and disabled people. Unfortunately, my family is very poor, and the guy I crippled has a very good family background. "Zhang Yuan's face was full of 'self-deprecation', which looked like the real thing.
The middle-aged Aum Empire man immediately believed most of it, and he then asked, "Since you are in the academy, you should study hard, why do you want to fight with people?" ”
'Wow~' Zhang Yuan had already taken off his heavy spacesuit: "I was jealous for a woman, and my brain was pumped at that time, so I pushed that guy hard." He was also unlucky, his head hit the corner of the wall normally, and although he was healed of his external injuries, his temple was almost ruined. ”
As he spoke, Zhang Yuan looked around at the capsule, and his first feeling was that it was very messy and dirty.
There are some parts and maintenance tools piled up in the corner, and there is a strange sound of 'clucking' coming from the corner, and in one of the corners is simply separated by an iron plate, and there is a floor bunk inside, and the insulated sleeping bags on the floor are dirty and can't see the original color. The smell in the air is also quite strange, mechanical lubricants, rust, feces and urine, all kinds of smells are mixed together, making people smell it and make people sick to their stomachs.
Of course, it wasn't a complete mess, the spaceship's control dashboard was quite clean, and in one of the corners hung a birdcage with a bird of unknown breed that Zhang Yuan couldn't name.
After taking off the space suit, in order to avoid irritating the honest freight driver, Zhang Yuan raised his hand and spun around in place, indicating that he had no weapons on him.
The middle-aged man's expression relaxed, and he introduced himself: "My name is Sam, an employee of Blue Sky Logistics. You're lucky to meet me, other freight drivers aren't as kind as me. ”
He walked to the side of the control dashboard, pressed the buttons one by one, and after more than ten seconds, the cargo ship shook violently, and a huge whistling sound came from the side vents, followed by the scenery outside the string window began to move slowly.
Sam exclaimed, "The ship was down for nearly an hour, and we had to speed up." The acceleration is about to rise, hold the armrest and stand firm! ”
"Huh~~" The whistling sound became terrible, Zhang Yuan felt a force pulling him back, this was the acceleration overload of the spaceship, he hurriedly pulled out the handrail to stabilize his body: "Uncle, is there no inertia buffer force field on the spaceship?" ”
"If you have a lot of money and no place to burn, you will only be able to install that kind of high-end gadget, hurry up, the cabin is going to be turned over."
The next moment, Zhang Yuan saw that the scenery outside the porthole had turned 360 degrees, and the bird in the corner seemed to have been tested for a long time, holding the birdcage firmly with both feet, and he was not panicking at all.
More than ten meters later, Zhang Yuan once again had a down-to-earth feeling.
"Okay, the cabin and acceleration are the same, the acceleration is about 5 g now, if you are not feeling well, go there and get a glass of sugar water to drink."
"Oh, it's okay, I'm fine." Zhang Yuan estimated the speed of the cargo spaceship and asked, "Uncle Sam, what is the top speed of this spaceship?" ”
Uncle Sam only thought that Zhang Yuan was a student who had caused trouble, and was unwary of him: "0.01c, it's very slow, but it doesn't matter, there is a stable quantum jump point in the place where the light is different, let's jump once, and drive for 4 hours, we can reach Limon City." After that, you'll have to figure it out for yourself. ”
"Well, I know, thank you, uncle." Zhang Yuan sincerely thanked him, this Aum Empire man really helped him a lot.
Uncle Sam waved his hand: "Thank you." I have a son, who's your age, and who's still studying at the Mecha Academy on Darla. I haven't seen him for more than a year, and when I see you, I think of my son, so I can help him accumulate good luck. ”
Zhang Yuan blessed: "Your son will definitely have a great future in the future." ”
"Haha, thank you."
Sam smiled innocently, then he picked up the fixed twist wrench again, put on a dirty orange space suit, and walked towards the exit of the passage on the side: "You just stay here, don't touch the dashboard, sleep when you're tired, I have to go to the ship's cooling duct to take a look, there's something wrong there." ”
When Zhang Yuan saw it, he immediately said: "Uncle, let's go together, I studied mechanical engineering in the college, maybe I can help you or something." ”
Sam looked at Zhang Yuan: "You?" Well, put on your clothes and come with me, I'm short of someone to talk to. ”
Zhang Yuan quickly put on his space suit, took the rope handed by Sam and fastened it around his waist, and then the two walked towards the entrance of the passage together, and after walking for a few minutes, the two arrived at the spaceship cooling pipe.
The temperature in the pipeline is very high, even in the maintenance area, there are more than 170 degrees, and it is really unbearable without a space suit.
At the point of failure of the ship, Sam began to disassemble the pipes and inspect them. Zhang Yuan was working on the side while observing the failure of the spacecraft.
Mechanical knowledge is the same, mecha is much more sophisticated than cargo spaceship, Zhang Yuan is now full of mecha knowledge, and the spaceship is naturally no problem.
After looking at it for a few minutes, he saw that Sam was still looking east and west, looking completely clueless, so he said: "Uncle, I think this situation should be due to the insufficient coolant pressure of the H pipe, why don't you check the H pipe?" ”
"Ah..... Okay, I'll take a look. Of course, Sam had no opinion, and began to check the H pipe that Zhang Yuan said, and after a while, he was delighted: "The problem is really here, a seal ring is broken." It's a shame that you, young man, must have done quite well in the academy. ”
After he replaced the sealing ring and restarted the H pipe, the temperature of the cooling pipe instantly dropped by more than 100 degrees, and finally stabilized at about 90 degrees, and the two people in the spacesuit immediately felt much cooler.
Sam laughed and said, "Haha, yes, that's good, it's been a long time since it's been this cool." ”
Zhang Yuan wanted to repay, so he said: "Uncle, I see that your spaceship still has a lot of hidden dangers, and the engine sound is not very right, why don't we continue to check?" ”
Sam was suddenly a little embarrassed: "But I'm not big, am I?" ”
"I will." Zhang Yuan said.
"That's fine." After the incident just now, Sam had a lot of confidence in Zhang Yuan's skills.
The two walked along the various working pipes inside the spaceship, Zhang Yuan checked everywhere, Sam became a master, and half an hour later, Zhang Yuan eliminated 3 small faults in a row, and Sam smiled at the face.
"This saves a lot of maintenance costs."
He was a little hesitant before saving people, because he had to put this year's bonus in, which was 5,000 star shields, which was worth two months' salary, but now that so many faults have been eliminated, the spaceship maintenance fee given by the company has gone into his pocket, and after calculation, he still earns a lot, and it is really good to be rewarded.
While repairing, Zhang Yuan chatted with Sam and got a lot of news about Darimon.
When he used an old printer on the spaceship to print out the qualified parts and fix the minor faults of the engine, he asked by the way: "Uncle, I see that the materials in the cargo box are all special steel for mechas, which can build at least 10,000 ordinary mechas." Is Darimon's beast tide serious? ”
Sam sighed, "Serious, quite serious, every beast tide has to kill a lot of people." If those beasts had broken into Space City, there would have been more deaths, and it had happened once 30 years ago. 13 dagger-clawed wolves entered the downtown area of the outer city and killed thousands of innocent people. ”
"Where did these beasts come from?" Zhang Yuan asked curiously.
"Part of it is natural disasters, part of it is man-made. The reasons are complex. ”
Zhang Yuan asked puzzledly: "Since the environment is so bad, why don't you move away?" ”
"There's a lot of money. Although the beast tide is dangerous, those beast bodies are precious materials, and they can also extract soul stones, and after a year, minus the pension and battle damage, the city lord of Dalimon still earns a lot of money, and it is strange that he is willing to move. ”
Zhang Yuanqi said: "How much do you still make after dying so much?" ”
Sam's face showed indignation: "What are dead people afraid of? The lives of the poor are cheap, and 50,000 star shields will be sent away for one life, what can you do? ”
At the end, he looked at Zhang Yuan and said, "Your skills are good, when you arrive in Dalimon, I will recommend you a job, right?" ”
Zhang Yuan was a little worried: "I smuggled here, I won't cause trouble, right?" ”
"Trouble with the! The Crimson Empire is more than 4,000 light-years away from us, who cares about this?! ”
"Thank you, uncle."
"Hey~ Don't thank me, it's you who have the ability. Hey~ Your little doll is too impulsive, it's a pity, otherwise if you continue to study in the academy, you will definitely be a big engineer in the future. When you get to Dalimon, you have to restrain your temper, and if you can bear it, you can endure it for a while, and you won't lose a piece of meat. ”
Uncle Sam taught him earnestly and taught Zhang Yuan the way to survive for the weak.
Zhang Yuan listened carefully, although it didn't have much effect on him, but the other party was kind, and he couldn't live up to it.
The spacecraft continued on, and about 10 hours later, a fiery red planet appeared outside the string window, and on one side of the planet, a white blob could be seen.
After Sam reported the spaceship information at Dalimon's port office, he slowly controlled the spaceship to slowly approach the spaceport in space, and said: "Look at the white one, it is Dalimon's Light, which has a radius of 500 kilometers and belongs to the Mondel family, with a permanent population of more than 10 million. ”
As he spoke, a voice came from the ship's communication: "Sam, I heard you saved someone?" It's not that I'm talking about you, you still have a pair of daughters to raise, and it's not easy to make some money. Now it's okay, the year-end bonus is in vain, right? ”
Sam laughed and said: "Yes, old Horton, I am not in vain, I am a pretty good engineer, he helped me repair the spaceship along the way, saved me a lot of maintenance fees, and I also earned at least 1,000 star shield miles." ”
Horton was a little surprised: "And this good thing?" ”
Sam laughed, "When did you see me lying?" Hey, I heard you're not short of manpower, aren't you? Do you want this young man? ”
"Yes! Absolutely! You don't know how hard it is to find maintenance technicians now, there are people everywhere, don't talk about it, I'll come over now! ”
