Chapter 7: Antique Mecha

When these old people retired, although they only had a meager pension, most of the mecha that accompanied them were brought to Walden.

However, most of these mechs have been in agriculture or industrial and mining operations for decades, and like these old people, they are scrap items that have been eliminated.

In the first two years of Walden, these mechs were barely able to work, and it was with their help that they were able to build the village.

However, due to the lack of maintenance and upkeep, after two years, all the mechs were paralyzed and could no longer be used.

It's not that the villagers haven't thought about repairing these mechas, but these mechas are all old men who left the factory thirty or forty years ago, and the current maintenance engineers don't know how to repair these antiques at all, only those old technicians with thirty or forty years of maintenance experience have this ability.

An old technician with thirty or forty years of experience, who must have been a very powerful person in his own right, could have come to such a remote place for the sake of these goods? Even if you do, the asking price must be very high.

Besides, all the accessories of the old mecha have long been discontinued, and they can't be bought.

Grandpa Falken glared at his old wife and muttered, "Who said, who said that we are not capable?" Even if you are the most powerful young technician out there, you may not be able to recognize my beloved baby mecha. Hehe, when Lao Tzu drove that mecha to mine on Iskar, those little kids might still be eating milk! ”

"Why didn't we think of bringing a maintenance technician here?" Uncle House, a stout man, said he had been a glorious steelmaker who had been kicked mercilessly after forty-five years of loyal service to a large corporation.

Most of the villagers here are like this, victims of a system of ruthless competition.

"Stupid!" Uncle Jack, who loves to drink, said, "The older we are, the more useless we are, but the older the maintenance engineer is, the more experienced he is, and people are eating outside, how can they come here with us?" ”

"That's right...... But Jack, who do you say is the stupid? You guy—"

"Can you show me your mech?" He Ruozhi said suddenly.

Everyone was stunned.

"I have a maintenance qualification certificate for a junior agricultural mecha." He Ruozhi explained.

At this moment, everyone seemed to be looking at an idiot.

Elementary farm mech maintenance, which means that this poor kid can probably do some work like cleaning the mech, or lubing the mech.

Almost every one of these skilled workers has a beginner mech maintenance certificate, can handle quite complex mech problems, and some even have intermediate certificates.

But in the face of an old mecha that has been eroded by decades of wind and rain and is covered with rust, what can a powerful maintenance engineer do?

Just when everyone was depressed about how to refuse, Mu Qiaoping spoke next to him: "You let Brother Xiaozhi take a look, he is very powerful!" ”

Mu Qiaoping hasn't forgotten that He Ruozhi once repaired a spaceship in just ten minutes!

"This-"

As the so-called cannibalistic mouth is short, old gentlemen, you look at me, I look at you, so I had no choice but to agree.

******

"Uhhh

A puff of sand and dust rose from the sky, and many people coughed violently.

An old man drove a tractor and opened the door of the semi-underground mecha hangar with a chain bolted to the back.

According to the standard mecha maintenance rules, it is best to store the mecha that is not in working state into the space wrist wheel and store it in a vacuum state.

Direct exposure to air will cause the parts of the mecha to decay and the circuitry to deteriorate.

However, there are no high-tech products such as space wrist wheels on this planet, and it seems ridiculous to use wrist wheels to carry these tattered antiques.

He Ruozhi looked around with satisfaction at the eighteen mechs placed in the warehouse.

In the eyes of ordinary people, these mechs are completely tattered that no one wants, and even the most junior pilot students refuse to set foot in them.

But in He Ruozhi's opinion, these mecha exude strong power and energy.

Having spent decades with humans, these mechs have taken on a life of their own, not just cold machines!

He Ruozhi stood in front of the mecha like this, carefully observing the machinery to be repaired, which is the basic skill of every maintenance engineer.

Five minutes passed, ten minutes passed, and an hour passed, and He Ruozhi remained motionless.

The villagers couldn't stand it anymore, they didn't dare to disturb He Ruozhi, and they yawned and whispered to Mu Qiaoping: "This...... Is Ash okay? ”

"It should be alright, right?" Mu Qiaoping couldn't say for sure. However, He Ruozhi's serious appearance was really very attractive, Mu Qiaoping looked at him stupidly, and couldn't help but feel a burst of heartbeat.

Three hours have passed, and many villagers have gone out for a long walk and come back again. It was not until this time that He Ruozhi finally came to a conclusion.

"Among the eighteen mechas, there are a total of five that can be repaired."

"What?" The villagers were stunned, especially the owners of the eighteen mechs. Although they don't know how to repair mechas, but after so many years of operation, even if they haven't eaten pork, they have seen pigs run, and it seems that these mecha can only be regarded as scrap metal at most, but I didn't expect to be able to repair them?

He Ruozhi explained: "On the premise of sufficient accessories, there were originally a total of eleven mechs that could be repaired; However, according to the current situation, it seems that thirteen of the mechs had to be disassembled and used the parts that were still in good condition as accessories, so that they could barely complete the repair of the five mechs. ”

"That's—"

"Then you can do it!" Falken said, "Anyway, we can't fix these things at all, instead of putting them here and turning them into scrap metal, let's let Xiao He give it a try!" ”

Falken didn't expect the other party to fix it, but since the young man wanted to try it, these things were useless, so let's dismantle them.

The villagers agreed.

He Ruozhi nodded and walked to the far corner of the warehouse, where there was a large set of mecha maintenance tools.

"Wait." Falken suddenly patted his head, "We don't have any mechs here, it's broken." ”

He Ruozhi shook his head: "I don't need to repair the mecha. ”

"Repair it with your bare hands?"

All the villagers froze.

He Ruozhi calmly opened the dusty maintenance toolbox, and his heart was full of excitement and joy. There were no villagers in his world at all, and eighteen mechs seemed to have been disintegrated and reduced to their most basic parts, floating in the void.

The complex repair tools seemed to have become the simplest children's toys in He Ruozhi's hands, and he waved them lightly twice to feel the center of gravity of these tools.

"I think there's something about this kid." Uncle House whispered to Uncle Jack, "Maybe he can really fix five mechs." ”

"you." Uncle Jack scoffed, "This is a good boy, maybe he can fix some of the latest mechs, but these forty-year-old antiques? He wasn't even born at all! If he can really fix it, then this kid shouldn't stay here, but should stay in the mecha maintenance department of the highest school in the federation and give lessons to the elites of the entire federation! ”

He Ruozhi suddenly moved.

The whole warehouse was full of dust, and the dust that had been gathering for years turned into a vicious tornado, smashing heads and heads at people.

The villagers coughed so violently that they couldn't even open their eyes, so they had to retreat in a hurry.

The entire warehouse was obscured by a layer of gray smoke, and it was impossible to see what was going on inside, except for the occasional slight sound of metal clashing, letting people know that He Ruozhi was still working.

"He, he's a magician!" Uncle House said in horror.
