Chapter 1 Mechanics for a living

Next Chapter

The mechanical arm rotated slightly, and everywhere it passed, the sparks flew like fireworks, and with the splash of these sparks, the humanoid mecha in front of me, which was about ten meters high, also became more and more glamorous, just like a machine that had just left the factory.

Ye Shi sat in the maintenance machine, his expression was very focused, this maintenance machine has eight mechanical arms, but the eight mechanical arms are like his real arms in his hands, there is no confusion, the eight mechanical arms have a clear division of labor, and soon, the mecha in front of him is finally completely restored.

Then, Ye Shi was expressionless, and continued to drive the maintenance machine to the next mecha, the whole process was very skillful and smooth, without half a pause.

He has to repair 5 mechs every day, and he is 3 planes away from completing today's mission.

At present, the mecha he is maintaining are all light mechas, the so-called light mechas, are lighter weight mechas, they have many life uses in this mecha era, and Ye Shi is living by repairing light mechas.

Finally, when he finished repairing all the mechs in the factory, he quickly jumped off the repair machine.

He has lived in this abandoned factory for more than five years, compared with those prosperous urban areas, he has no father and mother since he was a child, he has been wandering and has really no better choice, and in Ye Shi's opinion, this place is already very good, although it was very troublesome to clean up at the beginning, but the place is big enough, he doesn't have much desire, he is very satisfied with food and clothing.

After repairing the mecha and carefully cleaning up the 5 mechas, Ye Shi stretched out his left hand, and with a "di" sound, a translucent light blue light curtain soon emerged.

On his left hand, he wears something similar to a watch, which is the most common communicator today, from which the light curtain is projected.

"It's Ah Shi, what's the matter, is today's mecha finished?" A figure appeared above the light curtain.

"Hmm." Ye Shi replied.

The middle-aged man who appeared on the light curtain was called Uncle Rong, the owner of a large mecha repair factory, he had been the owner of that maintenance factory for twenty years, although he was middle-aged, his temples were already slightly white.

"Okay, then I'll send someone to fetch it later." Uncle Rong said with a smile.

Looking at Uncle Rong with a kind face, a warmth rose in Ye Shi's heart.

Three years ago, he had just learned how to repair light mechas, but light mecha was the most used machine in the entire Human Federation, and most people would choose to take it to a large repair shop for repair, and Ye Shi's remote factory was not cared for at all.

But fortunately, he met Uncle Rong, Uncle Rong was willing to hand over 5 mechs to him every day for maintenance, although he could only get ninety percent of the maintenance fee, but he was also very satisfied, you must know that his factory and Uncle Rong's factory are far away, but Uncle Rong will send a large transport truck to his factory every day to transport the repaired mecha back, and transport the mecha to be repaired.

Ye Shi can't afford the large transport vehicle, not to mention the energy consumption of this round trip, ninety percent of the maintenance cost, he is actually already earned.

And most importantly, the cost of repairing a light mech is lower than others.

As a very large amount of mecha, light mecha is basically mass-produced nowadays, and the structure of light mecha, even if the function and use are different, are seventy or eighty percent the same, such as the core position of energy as a power source, such as the appearance of a humanoid.

And he can just optimize these seventy or eighty percent of similar structures, as long as this part of the light mecha has problems, he can repair it at a lower cost.

He was able to master all of this five years ago.

He had just discovered the factory five years ago, and at that time he happened to save a junior mechanic, and the huge factory would not be too crowded, so he placed the unknown mechanic.

It's just that the mechanic has a disability in the lower half of his body, and in order to survive, the mechanic made a deal with Ye Shi, Ye Shi needs to provide him with food, and he will pass on what he has learned all his life to Ye Shi.

So it took two years for Ye Shi to learn the light mecha simplification technique researched by the nameless mechanic, and the mechanic was able to extend his life for two years.

But it was only two years, and just three years ago, the mechanic died, and it was at that time that Ye Shi began to try to repair the light mecha.

This is three years, three years, relying on the technology given to him by the nameless mechanic, he can now earn more than 2,000 star coins every month, which is something he never dared to think.

Although he already has a small amount of savings, he still stays in this factory, doing the work of repairing 5 mechs every day.

Ye Shi was full of emotion in his heart, people's encounters are like this, who would have thought that he would eventually embark on a career in machine repair?

"By the way, a friend gave me a certificate of attendance for the [Elementary Mecha Design and Maintenance] of the Meteorite Academy today, it's useless for me to come, I'll send it to you later." Just as Ye Shi was thinking, Uncle Rong said again.

"Yes, thank you Uncle Rong!" Ye Shi said gratefully.

Meteorite Academy is the most famous mecha academy on the meteorite star, and it is the most deeply studied mecha academy on the entire meteorite star, and it is undoubtedly a good opportunity to be able to enter it to listen to lectures, and in Ye Shi's opinion, the people who can enter the meteorite academy either rely on real skills or family background, no matter which of these two points is incomparable to him, he doesn't think that he can enter this academy by repairing light mechas.

So he had to take a look, mechanics are closely related to his current work, and it would be good to know more about it.

Soon, after handing over the repaired mecha, Ye Shi received the mecha to be repaired tomorrow, and at the same time, he also saw the lecture card that Uncle Rong gave him.

The course is after three days, so there is no rush.

After sending Uncle Rong away, Ye Shi cleaned up the factory again, and then closed the gate and left the factory.

Today is the end of the month, so he still has a job.

After leaving the factory, he soon came to the bustling city.

At this time, after the day's work, it was already dusk, the streets began to appear brightly lit, and countless locomotives dragged colorful energy across the sky, like meteors.

This is the city in the age of the galaxy.

The meteorite star where Ye Shi is located is actually just an asteroid, because a meteorite has fallen, so it is called a meteorite star, but in fact, this statement has yet to be proven.

However, it is worth mentioning that there is no city on the meteorite star, or there is only one city in the entire meteorite star, the city is located in most parts of the meteorite star, and the rest are undeveloped areas and backward slums, of course, the factory of Leaf Stone is located in a corner of the slum.

Walking in the metropolis and feeling the busyness of people's work after a day, Ye Shi felt more and more cold in his heart.

Next, Ye Shi passed by the Meteorite Academy, looking at the students who came and went frequently, and he couldn't help but feel a wave of envy in his heart.

He has been an orphan since he was a child, he doesn't know what family affection is, and he hasn't experienced the feeling of going to school, although he doesn't quite understand why so many students show disgust for the academy, but for him, as long as there is a stable place, he can be satisfied, if he can be like an ordinary person......

Ye Shi shook his head, there is still no if in this world after all, and at the moment, as long as he can survive in this era, it is enough.
