Sure enough, after the probe was produced, the people of the Military Commission found that the control program of the probe required an eighteen-digit password of six plus six plus six on the three-dimensional cipher disk of nine times nine Cheng Jiu. By the time the Military Commission approached Professor Rong and asked for the password, An Xiaoyu had already returned to the military base to receive internship training.

The first week passed, and Leng Yan and Dong Xiaoguan's bodies barely reached the state of being able to walk out of the hospital, but it was definitely not possible to drive a mecha or march urgently. In addition, the twenty-person class of students has been allocated, and it is impossible to insert any more people into it.

So the state of the three people changed from internship to follow-up internship, probably when someone else was driving a transport mecha to deliver goods according to a fixed route, they were the kind of goods. While others were training repeatedly, the three of them had a difficult task to do.

Rust the mech.

Yes, derust the mech. Mecha can also rust, of course, if you want to make a mecha rust, it takes a very long time, and it is the kind of mecha that has not been maintained for a long time. Or more simply, scrap mechs.

Mechs are scrapped for a number of reasons, not just because of combat damage.

From a design point of view, the mecha is a very durable thing, although its structure is complex, composed of many exquisite structures and high-end design, but it is indeed more durable than ordinary equipment and even more durable than most military armored vehicles.

If there is any accident on the mecha's body, it can be replaced, and as long as it is replaced with a new one, it can be restored to normal immediately. From the armor and weapons on the outside, to the power plant and various sensors carried under the skin, to the steel frame structure and energy core, these are all interchangeable.

Therefore, whether it is during the mission or after the battle, once the mecha fails, it will be repaired and re-introduced. After repeating this, many mechs have all but the strongest mechanical skeletons in their bodies.

But such a mecha is still in service.

So how many types of damage to mecha are there? It can be broadly divided into three types.

In the first case, the damage has caused the mecha to reach an irreparable state. Why is it irreparable? For example, the mecha's body was attacked by more than a dozen laser penetrations, and a large number of parts, armor, and mechanical bones inside were melted and solidified into a ball, which could not be repaired.

In the second case, 80% of the core components of the mecha are irreversibly aging and malfunctioning at the same time, and all of them need to be replaced before they can be restored to their original state. In this case, it is time-consuming and laborious to replace these parts, and it is not as convenient as replacing them with a new mech, which will be thrown into the warehouse and aged.

The third situation is that the repair parts required by the mecha are too old, and Jiudaoguan and various manufacturers are no longer producing them, and when such an old model of mecha can no longer meet the combat requirements, even if it is a normal mecha, it is very likely to be abandoned.

Because a mecha is a durable machine after all, there are still many mecha that can survive for hundreds of years. According to the history of the development of mechas, basically fifty years is a generation, and the mecha after two generations is completely mismatched in terms of parts and materials.

After all, the progress of science and technology is rapid, basically changing with each passing day, and the alloy material that was very sharp yesterday may not be comparable to a new type of glass today, which is also a very normal thing. The training of the contingent should also be organized in accordance with the new type of equipment and carry out new combat deployments.

Therefore, after nearly a hundred years, the mecha can still move and be left in the warehouse to rust, which is a very common situation in many mecha armies. And this kind of mecha, even some illegal organizations that want mecha are not very interested, after all, if you buy it back, you have to maintain it yourself, and it is still a backward model, why bother?

And An Xiaoyu, Leng Yan and Dong Xiaoguan are such mechas.

These mechs have been in the warehouse for I don't know how many years, not only on the armor on the outside, but also on the parts inside. However, due to the material and design, these rusts do not theoretically affect the life of the parts too much.

All that was needed was to sand off all the rust and lubricate it, and the mech would be able to function normally again. But......

"A ghost can fly this kind of mecha! Isn't there anything else to do in the base? You have to let me sizzle here! Leng Yan threw down the small polisher in his hand and said a little collapsed.

They had been working here for two days, and after learning about the entire patrol work with the large army every day, the other students began to learn about the mecha array, and they were sent here. According to the local garrison and medical institutions, it can be regarded as a rehabilitation activity.

And An Xiaoyu came to watch over them.

Of course, there is no problem with An Xiaoyu itself, as long as he is in the barracks and can learn the military knowledge in the camp normally every day, this is enough. She just wanted to know what was going on, but she didn't need to do it, she could know it in her heart.

But the coldness is a little unbearable.

Their rust removal work requires the use of a large dismantling device in the warehouse to remove the armor and shell of the entire mecha, spray the rust remover with a large area of rust removal equipment, and then control the huge rotating steel wool ball for rough grinding.

This was followed by a second pass of rust remover, which was put into the blast equipment and sand-blowing. Of course, the sand in the blower equipment is not ordinary sand, but a precision-designed polymer material specially used for the polishing of this high-end equipment.

However, people generally use it for polishing paint.

Finally, they need to lie on top of the shells and armor of these mechs, look for those missed corners, and polish them little by little with the small polisher in their hands. The entire mecha shell is confirmed to be polished and sent to the nearby spraying workshop for painting and drying.

After the shell is properly processed, it is time to polish the entire interior of the mecha, which requires twelve points of patience. Because the internal structure of the mecha is too complicated, all the parts are inspected, and it is simply a regional experience.

Dong Xiaoguan was very happy with it, he felt that this internship was simply tailor-made for him, first following Rong Zhihuan to practice in the advanced laboratory for so long, and then he was able to have the opportunity to get in touch with the disassembly and refurbishment of real mechas.

Although it is an old model of mecha, it is also a very precious opportunity for a sophomore like them. It is impossible for schools to teach them a lot of knowledge about new mechas, and most of the textbooks are about the application of old models.

Because from a teaching point of view, the old-fashioned is always classic, and the more classic it is, the more representative it is. A large number of new technologies are developed from classic examples, and if you master these, you will be able to adapt to various maintenance plans in the future, and even bring forth new ones.

Enthusiastically using the entire dismantling equipment to disassemble the mecha, six huge robotic arms for the dismantling of large pieces of materials and the overall structure, the dismantling frame surrounding the mecha is divided into six floors, each floor has several consoles, controlling other small robotic arms and elevators to disassemble smaller structures.

They have to take these things apart and inspect them, and then polish and polish the rust on each part, and if they find parts that don't work, they go to the scrap warehouse next to them to pick and choose and see if they can replace them with new ones.

All in all, it's troublesome and boring.

Just when Dong Xiaoguan's eyes were staring and forgetting to sleep and eat, Leng Yu collapsed: "If I can, I would prefer to push the cart and throw away the garbage." ”

"Come on!" An Xiaoyu straightened up and said, "What era is it now?" Still pushing a trolley to throw out the garbage? You're talking about 5,000 years ago, right? And even if there were, the infirmary and the barracks wouldn't allow you to do this kind of thing, let alone let you do it, you would say that it would be better to come back and remove the rust. ”

Leng Yan's face stiffened, and he said, "Anyway, I think it's really boring to waste time here." ”

"To be honest, I don't think it's interesting, why don't you help me send those people who come to me to ask for passwords?" An Xiaoyu turned off the polishing machine in his hand, sat on the smooth mecha shell and said. It's a thigh armor, very broad and smooth.

Leng Yan asked, "You really don't plan to tell them the password?" ”

An Xiaoyu shook her head: "It's not that I don't want to tell them the password, but their sincerity is really not enough." They haven't given us an explanation for what happened in the experimental base before, obviously it's the style of the periphery, and I don't want to deal with such a team. ”

As he spoke, both of them glanced at Dong Xiaoguan.

The two spies were able to get scrapped team standards before and infiltrated the experimental base, obviously someone in the local military commission was colluding with them. They were equally afraid that the center of the empire would get some substantial clues and then dominate the development of the entire ruins.

At that time, the lion's share of the benefits will not be theirs.

Then Dong Xiaoguan was seriously injured and almost killed. Although An Xiaoyu and Leng Yan didn't say anything, they were just afraid that Dong Xiaoguan would be embarrassed. In fact, both of them are holding back the fire in their hearts. The three of them have been working hard since the beginning of school until now, and the relationship is not generally good, and if you hurt Dong Xiaoguan, you still want the two of them to let go? How can there be such a cheap thing?

The reason why they didn't make a big fuss was just because they gave the local government a face, and their current status was also an intern, so it was not good to make too much trouble with their identity, so they handed over the problem to the local army and let them explain it as soon as possible. But today, the local army doesn't seem to have any self-knowledge, and they haven't given a word of approval until now.

The one who didn't wait for an explanation, but the one who waited came to ask for the password.

Although these people's attitudes are equally sincere, An Xiaoyu knows that this is because they want the benefits in the trench, they want treasures, they want merit, and they don't really want to negotiate with An Xiaoyu. If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't beat An Xiaoyu, I'm afraid they would be under pressure on the policy.

For such a situation, An Xiaoyu was also speechless, but she didn't know how to deal with it. Is it really going to fall out? At that time, the face of the Three Thousand Academy will not look good, and it will also intensify a series of generals from the periphery, bringing greater resistance to Wang Zhenyan's reform.

Leng Yan sighed: "These people ...... Actually, I don't know what to say. But do you think there's really a treasure in the trench? If not, it's better to give them, save them the annoyance of the whole day, and take the opportunity to talk to them about the conditions. ”

An Xiaoyu smiled silently, cold and shocked: "Is there really one?" ”

An Xiaoyu shook her head.

"What do you mean?" Leng Yan was puzzled.

"It's not interesting, anyway I don't want to give it to them. These people are not friends, and they don't come to the door to ask for help, Professor Rong gave me the password, and the password is mine. I'm sure he'll be tight-lipped and under the same pressure, and if I open my mouth easily, what will Professor Rong think of me? ”

"Excuses!"

"If you know it's an excuse, don't keep asking, sooner or later you'll know the truth of the matter, I just don't want you to get caught up in this matter again. Let you deal with those people, just put your identity on the negotiation platform, and then it won't be too deeply involved. ”

"Good, good! You're the boss, you have a point in what you say! I'm not going to stay here anyway, you go ahead, I'll meet the bureaucrats. Leng Yan threw the polisher in his hand into the toolbox, took off his work clothes and walked out of the warehouse.

"Lao Leng is on strike?" When Dong Xiaoguan came down to catch his breath, he asked, "Am I too crazy?" ”

It seems that he is also self-aware, knowing that An Xiaoyu and Leng Yan are quite boring. But he didn't care too much, anyway, he felt that Leng Yan felt that Mi was embarrassed and ran away, so he didn't have to be polite to him. But I just feel embarrassed to let them sit here with me.

An Xiaoyu shook her head: "He went to help me deal with those people." ”

"Oh......" Dong Xiaoguan smiled at the time: "Isn't this his strong point?" ”

"yes, he still has to pretend to be unwilling to befriend eighteen!"

"Old coldness is hypocrisy!"

"That's it!"

However, at this time, Ran Ye was also communicating with the local garrison generals, and they had to see An Xiaoyu, and their determination to get the password was quite arduous. But what An Xiaoyu can see, how can Ran Ye not see through it at all?

These people are a bunch of dogs......

Leng Yan pushed the door and walked in, and saw two people standing in front of Ran Ye, talking about what interests and other questions, in short, it was very tempting, and our sincerity was very full. Ran Ye never tires of it, she only has one attitude, that is, if An Xiaoyu doesn't see them, she can't let them go.

Hearing the movement at the door, both of them turned their heads, looked at Leng Yan, and said, "This is Leng Yan's classmate, right?" You finally appeared, I don't know where An-chan is? ”

Ann? It was the first time Leng Yan had met these people, and he almost burst out laughing. What are these people when they are? Ground snakes? Or a mountain tiger? Put your attitude so high, and still cold classmates, classmates An, you are not teachers of the Three Thousand Academy.

So he didn't even look at these two people, not even Ran Ye, walked to the boss chair inside and sat down, put his legs on the table, and said contemptuously: "Classmate Leng? Anyway, I'm also a person with status, so you have to call me cold, right? ”

The faces of these two generals were all stunned, both of them were generals at least at the rank of lieutenant, when did they have to be so low to a student. But what Leng Yan said is not wrong, he is a person with status, the heir of the second Leng family, which no one can ignore.

At least there is no way for a few of them to ignore, and there is no way for their chief, the chief's chief, to ignore. Maybe the one at the top can, but if there is a conflict, will that one take care of the lives of the two of them? Joke.

And they came this time with a death order, so their faces changed again and again, and the two of them still put on smiling faces and said, "Yes, Leng Shao!" Cold less! Both of us have been soldiers for many years, and our education is not high, and we are stupid. ”

Leng Yan looked at the two of them, and felt like he was looking at two dogs.

If the soldiers of the empire were all dog-legged like them...... No, to be honest, all parts of the empire are almost full of such people, and they have become rotten. If this continues, until the Great War begins, what kind of painful lesson will the Empire suffer?

The lessons of the Nine Directions Rebellion still did not give them enough warnings, but instead made them smell the huge benefits of the war, they were no longer qualified imperial soldiers, and their minds were full of power and money.

Thinking of this, Leng Yan's face became more and more ugly, and he said casually: "Shaozun said, the matter of the password, when she is in a good mood, she will tell you, or a week later, or a month, or a year, or a hundred years......"

"One Hundred Years ???" The two generals were demented and said, "This is also a hundred years...... Besides, even if it's a year, it's already ......."

"What is it? It's already a long time? Leng Yan smiled: "The treasure of the Heavenly Abyss Country...... Let's talk nonsense about whether there is a trench underneath, if there is no Professor Rong, if you want to find that trench, I am afraid that you will not be able to find it in a hundred years, what is the time? ”

"But ......"

"But Professor Rong has already found it, right?" Leng Yan said again: "Professor Rong has found it, that is Professor Rong's own business, what were you doing when Professor Rong was attacked before?" My brother and I exchanged our lives for something, and you just two people came over and wanted to take it? Have you ever asked the Leng family? ”

The weight of the Leng family fell, and the two of them glanced at each other, both seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes. They knew that Leng Yan came out today, which could be regarded as giving them a clear attitude, at least they could go back to their lives and not be punished too badly.

So they nodded and said, "We know what you mean, and this matter is not something that the two of us can understand, so ......"

"Get out! Roll as far as you want! Leng Yan waved his hand.

The two men looked ugly and turned to leave the office.

Ran Ye was a little worried: "You are too impulsive." ”

Leng Yan smiled: "That's why I'm the devil." ”
