(One more tonight)

Ethnicity Vaivan, female, codename Razer, an employee of Blacksteel International Private Security Consultants, has more than three years of practical experience, and now follows the security agreement between Blacksteel and Rhode Island, providing security and consulting services to the latter.

While remediating the knowledge of Terra's history and geography, Zhao Xi, who had nothing to do, also looked through the database to understand the general situation of the active operators, and the mercenary lady with a dual identity was also among them.

At that time, Zhao Xi had no other emotions for this non-infected person who was not completely obedient to Rhode Island's orders, except admiration, after all, the woman in the photo looked young, but she was a real mercenary who had participated in dangerous missions many times, which was different from her own 'Li Ghost'.

It's just that in his cognition, such an elite who has survived a hundred battles, even if he has no task in his body, should go to the training ground to practice hard, or rest and recover his energy, and the worst thing is to go to entertainment places to enjoy it. So when he saw the other party appear at the power station and dress up as a worker, Zhao Xi felt very disobedient.

Compared with his doubts, the person concerned seemed to be surprised, took off the sunglasses he was wearing, and the gray-haired and red-eyed woman motioned for Zhao Xi to sit down, and he walked to the water dispenser at the entrance of the room. "Sorry, there's only cold water here, because the steam might make it malfunction again."

It? Looking at the cylindrical machinery in the center of the room, which was emitting a low roar, Zhao Xi speculated that this was the generator set of Rhode Island, and it was also the object of careful attention by the staff. "Does this thing break down often?"

Handing the glass filled with water to the young man in the chair, the Vaivan woman nodded vigorously, her expression adding a little helplessness. "The rotor is aging, the wires are worn, and the second unit is always low in power, Yan Rong and I have never been able to find the reason, but Lancet-2 has to help treat the infected these days, and there is no way to provide technical support..."

Although he didn't understand, Zhao Xi still sat upright, trying to write down the situation described by the other party. "Sounds terrible, it's not going to explode."

"No, but Miss Lucille says it has a safety valve, and at most it is shut down." Casually making some dangerous conclusions, Razer strapped his gloves with a rubber band and walked to the console in front of the running machine. "Operator Miller, do you have a license or experience to maintain the machinery in question?"

Even if he was sure that the other party had no malicious intent, Zhao Xi felt that his face was a little hot. "Sorry, I didn't actually learn about it."

"It's okay, Yan Rong and I didn't understand it when we first came." Beckoning Zhao Xi to his side, Razer began to explain without any delay. "This is the switch, it is turned off when the unit is maintained, and it is usually on."

"It's the transfer button, which makes sure that when the switch is turned on and pressed down, the machine sends energy to the engine and other areas where it is needed."

"This is the drone operating stick, after pulling it down, they will be activated, and the source stone will be automatically loaded, remember to press this button first, this is to open the storage port..."

As if returning to the days of the first day of work in the bubble tea shop, Zhao Xi stood beside the Vaifan woman and wrote down various operation steps like a date. Unaware of the passage of time, the young man did not realize that nearly half an hour had passed until his mouth was dry.

"How's that, remember?"

"Uh," sorting out the harvested information, Zhao Xi said with some uncertainty: "About half." ”

He nodded, and Razer gestured to the two pamphlets hanging by the door. "Operation guide, if you don't understand, you can read it."

"Why are there two copies, do they correspond to the basics and the problem solving?"

"No, one of them was annotated by Yan Rong with too many notes, so messy that only she could read it."

was made to cry and laugh by Razer's answer, and Zhao Xi was also a little more curious about the colleagues he had never met. "So she's also a Blacksteel International... What are you doing? ”

The woman who had already removed the outer metal plate and was about to get into the console stopped moving, looked up and said, "Find the reason." ”

The reason for this is not why someone came to the power station to familiarize themselves with the business, but the equipment problem that Razer mentioned earlier. Over the years, the power station equipment has suffered from various problems due to wear and tear and misoperation.

Not to the extent of a crash or death, but it would be unsafe to ignore it, and Razer, who was on duty, planned to conduct a round of inspections before the 'experts' arrived, to see if the source of the fault could be found and it could be restored to normal as soon as possible.

It's a pity that Vaifan's main business is mercenaries, and the knowledge of electrical appliances is a 'hobby' as I say, which is not enough to solve such professional troubles. Leaning out from between the intertwined conduit and the circuit board, the woman with her face stained with dust and oil coughed dryly twice and sighed helplessly. "There are no obvious fractures and leaks, and the source stone energy tube is also very stable."

Thinking that he was even more unprofessional, Zhao Xi could only laugh twice, and stretched out his hand to the razer who was still lying on the floor, intending to pull the other party up. "It's hard work, let's rest for a while...?"

Retracting his palm like an electric shock, the woman's red pupils were a little more embarrassed, and she said in a hurry: "I, I'll just come by myself." ”

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything else." Realizing that his behavior was a bit Meng Lang, Zhao Xi hurriedly bowed his head and apologized, in order to alleviate the embarrassment on the scene, the young man turned his words and asked, "Can you let me take a look?" ”

With an indescribable look in her eyes, the good-looking woman asked rhetorically, "Operator Miller, didn't you say you don't know about mechanical maintenance?" ”

I really don't understand, but I don't have anything to do anyway, and it's better to toss and toss than to discuss the boundaries of heterosexual contact. complained silently in his heart, and Zhao Xi, who was inconvenient to tell the truth, casually recruited a rhetoric to serve as a reason for his behavior.

"I have a good eye, maybe I can find something."

Silence made every second seem like a century, and with the low roar of the machine, Vaifan, who sat up, finally nodded and pointed to the row of breathing apparatus hanging on the wall.

"Wear it to avoid being infected by source stone dust."

---------------

The wires from the arm to the size of a toothpick are intertwined, the connections are covered with thick dust, and the young man who shuttles through it has to admit that the concerns of the black steel mercenaries are not unreasonable:

It may seem like only half a person tall, but with two-thirds of the internal structure under the ground, the console is far more complex than it seems, and it is impossible to figure it out without relevant expertise.

Hey, it's all here, let's look for it, at least we have to make a show. Finding a reason for himself, Zhao Ximao searched around and quickly found a large circuit board.

This should be the source stone controller, the operator can give instructions to it through the external control panel, and control a series of behaviors of the reactor. Recalling Razer's explanation, Zhao Xi carefully observed as a layman, and finally came to a conclusion.

It's been a long time since anyone cleaned it.

Will it be the same as the computer motherboard, because of the long-term use of the accumulated too much dust, resulting in the fan can not run? Referring to the situation encountered with a computer in the real world, Zhao Xi decided to become a dead horse doctor and tried to clean up the dust first.

"Razer operator, can you give me a clean cloth?"

After about half a minute, a palm-sized piece of cloth was thrown underfoot. Fingers pinched the newly acquired tool, and Zhao Xi carefully swiped it across the panel, wiping all the fluffy dirt on the circuit board.

After replacing the dry cloth twice, the core of the operating system was finally restored to its original appearance, and Zhao Xi was soon informed of an unfortunate news by expecting Vaifan, who was on standby outside, to try again---

The problem with the generator set, especially the No. 2 generator set, persisted, and his attempt failed.

Efforts to turn into useless work can be somewhat frustrating, but fortunately, the person concerned was mentally prepared and recovered quickly. "It's okay, at least the Yin is not a matter of dust~" Talking to himself as comfort, Zhao Xi wanted to go deeper inside, but found that the light from the small flashlight began to weaken.

Isn't it, there's no power right now? Speechlessly, he patted the flashlight, someone's rough and simple methods couldn't stop the latter from picking at the end of the day, but fortunately, his position was very close to the entrance, and the light coming in from outside could still illuminate the area where he was, so that Zhao Xi would not be trapped.

Do you want to retreat for a while? This thought popped up in his mind, but it was quickly rejected by the person concerned, and after adjusting the somewhat loose breathing apparatus, Zhao Xi sat in place and thought for a moment, raised his left arm palm upward, and made a posture of lifting.

The power of light appeared under the manipulation, like a flame jumping in the young man's hand, using it as a light source, Zhao Xi continued to move towards the inside of the device, and soon arrived at the deeper storage room.

After the initial processing, the source stone is transported here for refining and converted into purer and more efficient source stone energy, which is equivalent to the oil in the real world and can be used in many fields.

Razer had suspected that the malfunction was coming from this place, but the external inspection showed no abnormality, and the sharp horns and tail of the Vaivan (Terragu Wyvern) race made it inconvenient for her to enter the inside of the device, so she had to make some innocious repairs on the outside.

As a person from the real world, Zhao Xi, who does not have any animal characteristics, certainly does not have similar troubles. Maintaining the release of the power of light, the young man circled around the cylindrical device, still unable to find anything that seemed wrong.

"Hey, it really doesn't work~~" Crying and laughing, Zhao Xi, who had no clues, had no choice but to give up. The young man, who carefully returned along the road to make sure he didn't break things, drilled through the dense cobweb-like wire again, and the flame of light in his hand suddenly jumped twice.

Sensing the uncontrollable power, Zhao Xi blinked suspiciously, stopping his retreat. Frowning and thinking for a moment, he tentatively took two steps back, only to find that the flames formed by the power of light began to flicker again.

The power of light is a gift from a hero, and it is absolutely controlled by Zhao Xi, and it is impossible for the air flow to change. The curious party looked around, and then his eyes locked on the circuit board that he had just wiped clean.

The original brass-colored parts now reveal an eerie black, and where a wire is connected to it, there is a thicker black gas than the surroundings, which looks like ---

Vascular embolism?

Strange, there was no such thing when he wiped the dust just now, and while thinking about it, he poked it with his hand, and Zhao Xi was surprised to find that the black qi was not an entity, but a pure energy similar to the power of light, which made him feel quite uncomfortable.

Could it be... Following the instinct in his heart, Zhao Xi brought the power of light in his hand close to the black qi, and sure enough, he saw the light flame flickering violently, boiling like boiling water. Trying to restrain his restless power, he noticed a gap the size of a grain of rice at the junction between the wire and the circuit board.

To be honest, if it weren't for the black qi slowly overflowing from it, Zhao Xi would be sure that he wouldn't be able to find it just by observing it with the naked eye.

Because he didn't carry tools, Zhao Xi could only note down the location and choose to retreat. Watching him emerge from between the wires, he removed his breathing apparatus with a dusty face, and Razer, who had been holding out, handed over the cup in his hand. "If you can't find a problem, forget it, Operator Miller..."

"I noticed something was wrong, but I couldn't be sure if it was causing the failure." Panting, Zhao Xi, who raised his neck and poured half a glass of water in one go, danced and gestured with his hands and introduced his harvest to the Vaivan woman.

“... That's the case, do you have something to solder or glue? ”

Even the face of the battle, which was as calm as water, shook rarely, staring back and forth at the young man who was slumped on the ground and the dark hole, and Razer finally put on a breathing apparatus and couldn't help but burrow into the console.

"You're right, Operator Miller." After verifying someone's clues, the woman who returned to the room stared directly at Zhao Xi for a long time before breaking the silence. "There was a trace of source stone energy leaking there, which had corroded nearby pipes and control units, causing deviations in transmission instructions."

"You really haven't learned about sourcestone mechanical maintenance?" Watching Zhao Xi shake his head vigorously, the corners of Razer's mouth curled up in an undetectable arc. "Maybe you should try, you've got a lot of talent for it, Miller."

What kind of talent, it is purely a mistake to use the power of light to find the problem, his own family knows his own affairs, Zhao Xi can only make a few perfunctory sounds. Witnessing Razer take out the toolbox from the cabinet on the wall, burrow into the console and start tinkering with it, he can only pick up the manual and read it hastily.

One familiarizes himself with the workflow, the other tinkers with a running machine, and time passes in silence until someone re-seals the metal plate.

"Fixed?"

"Hmm," he said, pointing to the green light on the countertop, and Razer spoke with a hint of joy. "The power is restored."

"That's good." Closing the operation manual at the same time, Zhao Xi glanced at the wall clock on the wall, only to know that it was evening. "Hey, it's so late~"

"You go eat first," said Razer as he removed the gloves that hung on the wall, and the razer put on them as he snorted at the door. "I'm on duty until nine o'clock in the evening and can't leave now."

Thinking that what the other party said was not unreasonable, and someone who also wanted to rush back to accompany Zoya to dinner, he did not shirk it, and nodded and accepted Razer's kindness. picked up the operation manual and was about to take it back to read, but Zhao Xi, who walked to the door, was suddenly stopped by Vaifan.

"Actually, my body discharges unnaturally for some reasons, especially my hands." The expression was half embarrassed and half helpless, and the woman who was the same height as Zhao Xi took the initiative to reach out when she counted the double horns. "I didn't wear insulated gloves just now, so I didn't let you touch it, for fear of electrifying you."

It turned out that he didn't hate touching, but he was worried about accidental injury, and after understanding the cause and effect, Zhao Xi was in a much better mood, and naturally shook hands with the other party when he heard the words. Waivan waved goodbye to Vaifan, who continued to be on duty, and the young man who went to the dormitory had just turned two corners, and a warm call sounded behind him.

"Yo, Mr. Miller, what you want has arrived~"
