At half past two in the morning, the barbecue stall closed.

Fang Shi and Ye Zhong neatly stuffed the objects into the dilapidated tricycle one by one. Then, Ye Zhong drove the tricycle slowly, while Fang Shi trotted all the way and followed closely, and the shadows of one person, one car, and two shadows were getting longer and longer on the deserted streets in the early morning.

Back in the basement, Fang Shi simply washed one or two, and then returned to the small utility room, but to the great surprise was that there was still a little utility room in the room, which had completely changed into a different appearance, and the miscellaneous things had been placed neatly, which was extremely comfortable to see. Fang Shi's heart was slightly sweet, and it was naturally Ye Xiangyi who was like a girl next door who was tidying up the room.

Fang Shi still knows a little about Ye Xiangyi, although she seemed a little reserved and timid when she first came into contact, but once you are familiar with her, you will see her lively and cheerful, and she still has a delicate spirit in her bones.

The days of the barbecue stand seem to pass very quickly, plain and fulfilling.

Ye Xiangyi went to school on the third day, and she is currently studying at a university called Qinyuan College, and usually lives in the school, and she only returns to her father Ye Zhong during the holidays these days. What surprised Fang Shi was that Ye Xiangyi was cultivating the mecha department, and the future direction was a pilot.

Fang Shi felt that this shijie really had some fate.

Without Ye Xiangyi's days, Fang Shi and Ye Zhong's life seems to have become extremely monotonous. However, the days still passed by quickly. Fang Shi has basically mastered the work of barbecue, but Zuihou's baking skills are almost hot.

In the early hours of the morning, the barbecue stall was already deserted, leaving only Fang Shi and Ye Zhong, two slightly lonely figures.

Fangshi was intently grilling the skewers, carefully brushing the oil over and over again, and sprinkling some spices from time to time, the smell of roasting fragrance wafting through the air around him.

After a while, Fang Shi brought the grilled haode skewers to the table in front of Ye Zhong, and said with a smile: "Uncle, taste it, see if the taste is correct this time." ”

Ye Zhong didn't rush to taste it, but leaned up his nose and sniffed it, and then said unhurriedly: "Yes, it can barely be regarded as a teacher, and there should be no problem in setting up a kebab stand in the future." ”

When Fang Shi heard this, he was overjoyed in his heart, and finally passed the test so-so.

"Go get a few beers, you can't just eat skewers. You're going to the company tomorrow, so you have to celebrate. Ye Zhong grabbed a skewer of barbecue and ate it.

Fang Shi shook his head and said, "Uncle, you promised Xiangyi not to drink in the future, but you have to talk." ”

"Forget it, don't drink it. Let's eat the skewers. Ye Zhong's face was full of helplessness.

This night, Fang Shi and Ye Zhong sat for a long time, and they didn't go home until more than three o'clock in the morning.

Day 2, morning.

Fang Shi said goodbye to Ye Zhong and walked towards the long-awaited Snow Flower Company. The Snow Gate was heavily guarded, and Fang Shi showed his ID card and followed a security guard in a black security uniform.

The headquarters of Snowflake covers an area of more than 40 hectares, and the interior can be compared to a small city. However, the check-in office was not far from the gate, and Fang Shi walked for about ten minutes to arrive, a small five-story building, and was led by a staff member into a room that did not look much like a classroom.

A middle-aged man on the podium asked Fang Shi for specific information in detail, and after confirming that it was correct, he arranged for him to sit up under the podium. There were several other people sitting in the room, men and women, young and similar to him, who seemed to have come to report for duty.

Half an hour later, it seemed that all the check-in personnel had arrived, with a total of eight people, five men and three women. The middle-aged man on the podium glanced at everyone and said with a smile: "Okay, the personnel are already assembled." First of all, on behalf of Snowflake, I would like to welcome you......"

The middle-aged man first gave a warm welcome, and then began to talk about the snowflake company in a serious and detailed manner, from the history of the enterprise to the corporate culture, from the scale of the enterprise to the contribution of honors, almost all about the snowflake company he will explain clearly one after another. Although it sounded a little boring, Fang Shi still listened with a twelve-point spirit.

A morning passed quickly.

The middle-aged man only spoke one question, what is a snowflake? Indeed, after some explanation, Fang Shi has a clearer and deeper understanding of Snowflake, a super military enterprise backed by a military consortium.

In the afternoon, still in that classroom, Fang Shi and others carefully studied all kinds of complicated rules and regulations of Xuehua Company, and also learned the specific arrangements for the next few days. They will usher in a 10-day newcomer training period, after which they will be placed in specific positions.

During the training, the eight newcomers were not allowed to go out unless there were special circumstances, and Snowflake arranged a temporary dormitory for each of them. In this way, Fang Shi is extremely happy, and he doesn't need to eat and live.

Ten days passed in a flash, Fang Shi felt that he had a very fulfilling life, in addition to the daily class training, he also visited most of the area of the snowflake company. Of course, it is impossible for some idlers to enter and exit the important land.

After the training period, Fang Shi was assigned to the Second Research Institute. He didn't know much about the Second Research Institute, but he did know some basic information during the training, and his main task was to research and design mechas. This made Fang Shida breathe a sigh of relief, the direction of interest he filled in at the beginning was the mecha aspect, but what surprised him slightly was that he went directly into the mecha research and design department.

The Second Research Institute is an independent design department within Snowflake, with a separate building and multiple research laboratories, and is an important area where idlers are not allowed to enter, and only people or vehicles with special checkpoints are allowed to enter and exit.

Fang Shi followed a personnel officer into the Second Research Institute, and after completing the relevant registration procedures, he was led to a research laboratory under the guidance of an internal staff member of the Second Research Institute. The interior of the research lab is circular, with a large gray-and-white mech in the center of the hall. Fang Shi recognized at a glance that it was not a mecha model, but a genuine mecha, and his heart couldn't help but get excited.

Soon, Fang Shi arrived at an office on the third floor.

The staff knocked on the door twice carefully.

"Please come in."

A slightly older voice came from the room.

"Huang Lao, this is the newcomer you want." The worker pushed open the door and introduced with a smile on his face.

"Let him in."

"Come in quickly, don't offend Huang Lao."

Fang Shi nodded, stepped in, and carefully closed the door.

"You can sit down first, I have something to keep busy."

"Yes." Fang Shi hurriedly replied and sat down on the chair next to him, but when he saw the old man who seemed to be writing a program, he was slightly stunned. The old man's gray hair, slightly bald in the middle, and a lot of wrinkles on his face were the examiners who conducted the video interview at the beginning.

Half an hour later, the old man breathed a sigh of relief, showed a hint of joy on his face, and said with a smile: "It's finally done." ”

"Your name is Fang Shi, right?" The old man moved his hands and sat down across from the ashlar.

"Hmm." Fang Shi nodded hurriedly.

The old man smiled: "Welcome to the second research team, my name is Huang Shujian, and I am currently the leader of the second team. ”

"Team Leader Huang, okay." Fang Shi said politely.

Huang Shujian nodded, "We met during the interview, although you haven't gone to a formal college, but the actual repair knowledge is very good, have you ever worked in mechanical maintenance before?" ”

"I opened a repair shop on K3." Fang Shi replied honestly.

"Repair shop?" Huang Shujian showed a hint of surprise on his face.

"Yes, it's been open for three years." Fangshi replied.

"Oh." Huang Shujian continued to ask: "Home appliance repair shop? ”

"It is mainly home appliance maintenance, and automobiles, Tianxun, etc. are also repaired."

"It's a bit of a stretch. However, in the previous written test and interview, I see that you have a lot of insights into mecha design, and some of the knowledge of mecha is also in place, have you been in contact with mecha before? ”

Fang Shi shook his head and said, "I haven't touched the real mecha, I have only assembled the mecha model. As for those mecha knowledge, I learned it from the Internet. ”

"Oh, then I underestimated you a little, I remember that during the interview, you even knew the JX system very well, it was a core jishu of the third-generation mecha, which belonged to the secret of the empire, and it would not be circulated on the Internet." Huang Shujian said with a smile.

"That'...... It was obtained by inadvertently cracking a confidential document of a tech company. Fang Shi broke out in a cold sweat and replied honestly.

"I see. Loving mechas? Huang Shujian continued to ask.

Fang Shi nodded and replied, "I like it very much." ”

"Good. However, to become a real mecha worker, you don't just need to be enthusiastic, in the eyes of outsiders, it can be a very boring job......

……

After an hour, the conversation between the two was over.

Huang Shujian stood up, walked to the desk, made a phone call, and then said with a smile: "I asked you to familiarize yourself with the working environment and specific work of the second small research group. ”

"Yes."

After a while, a woman pushed the door directly and walked in, glanced at Fang Shi, and said with a smile: "Old man, this is the little junior brother you received for me?" ”

The woman is about thirty years old, with a pair of full-rim black-framed glasses, and her figure is concave and convex, especially the scenery in front of her, exuding a mature and intellectual atmosphere, which is estimated to be coveted by a man.

Fang Shi, who was standing on the side, only glanced at the woman with a slight curiosity.

Huang Shujian's face was calm, he nodded, and said, "Zhiqiu, let me introduce you, this is Fang Shi, who has just joined the second research group, you take him to familiarize himself with the working environment and some specific work." ”

"Haode, no problem." The woman nodded, turned her head to look at Fang Shi, and said with a smile: "Little junior brother Fang Shi, my name is Ye Zhiqiu, I am your second senior sister, if you don't mind, please call me senior sister." ”

"Division...... Masters. Fang Shi was a little embarrassed, this strange name was really awkward.

"Okay, good, little junior brother." Ye Zhiqiu smiled, and said to Huang Shujian: "Teacher, then I will take the little junior brother around." ”

Huang Shujian nodded.

"Let's go, junior brother." Ye Zhiqiu shouted softly.

Fang Shi snorted, and followed Ye Zhiqiu out of the room.

"Teacher, it's been a few years since I confiscated my apprentices. Little brother, tell me how you impressed the teacher. Ye Zhiqiu asked with some curiosity.

Fang Shi was the second monk and was confused.

Seeing this, Ye Zhiqiu smiled helplessly, "Okay, let's introduce you to our second group first, there are always five people at present, you are the fifth, and there is a third senior brother and a fourth senior sister in front, but the two of them are not in the headquarters, one went to the front line of the Eastern Region, and the other went to the branch." In other words, there are only three people in the second research team of the Snowflake Headquarters, you, me, and the teacher......"

Ye Zhiqiu introduced unhurriedly, the second research and development team is one of the top ten research groups of the second research institute, and there are only six research groups in the headquarters at present, and several other groups are in the branch, and each research group has a separate research and development laboratory. The R&D room where he is currently located is the R&D room of the second group, and it is also the main place of work for him in the future. In addition, what surprised Fang Shi slightly was that Huang Shujian was not the leader of the second R&D team, but also one of the three vice presidents of the Second Research Institute, one of the main R&D designers of the sixth generation mecha, and had won the Science and Technology Nebula Award. The Science and Technology Nebula Award is the greatest recognition of scientific and technological workers. Invisibly, Huang Shujian's position in Fang Shi's heart unconsciously climbed to an unimaginable height.

After introducing the second R&D team, Ye Zhiqiu first took Fang Shi up and down the research laboratory, and explained to him the specific uses of various equipment and some professional use methods. This makes Fang Shi feel like he is in the clouds, although Ye Zhiqiu's explanation is very detailed, but he has never seen a lot of professional equipment, and Ye Zhiqiu still has a lot of professional terms in his mouth, and he doesn't understand it very well.

Ye Zhiqiu saw Fang Shi's embarrassment, and deliberately comforted him, "Little junior brother, don't worry, these professional equipment will gradually become familiar in the future, when senior sister first arrived in the second group, the situation was even worse than you." You have to believe the old man's vision, he will not include you in the second group for no reason, which means that you have enough flashes of brilliance that he is looking forward to. So, the little junior brother has to believe in himself and believe in himself with his passion for mechas, understand? ”

Hearing this, Fang Shi showed a wry smile.

"Zuihou, tell me about this mech. At present, it is only a half-finished product, and it is also a project that the second team is actively developing, and if successful, it is expected to become the seventh generation of mechs in the Empire. Ye Zhiqiu led Fang Shi to the bottom of the mecha in the center of the round hall, and introduced with a slight excitement in his tone.

"Seventh-generation mechs?"

Fang Shi was slightly surprised, the latest generation of mecha in the empire is the sixth generation mecha, and the silver battle queen piloted by Su Shi'er is the sixth generation of the battle armor, I didn't expect that the research and development of the seventh generation of the battle armor had already begun in this research laboratory, and it seemed that most of it had been completed.
