Chapter 83: Finding Fault (Third Update)

The volume of acoustic flaw detectors is not very large, but there are really no ones in general-sized repair shops.

In the final analysis, it is still the life of the wasteland that is not valuable, and the parts are broken and replaced, so how big is it if there are hidden dangers?

The cold wave has not come recently, and the pressure on the maintenance staff is much less.

And among those adventurers from other places, there are also maintenance masters, who undertake some maintenance work.

This woman has always suspected that Qu Jianlei Lion opened her mouth widely, but she never found a suitable person.

Yesterday she finally found the maintenance man in the city, and this one was the one with the oil-stained sleeves.

When he heard that someone had detected a hidden spindle hazard in the Cleaner III, he asked what kind of acoustic flaw detector was used.

Flaw detectors are not cheap in the first place, and the higher the grade, the more expensive they are.

The strong man and the woman recalled for a long time, and also described the various tools at that time - it felt that there was nothing particularly professional.

This maintenance teacher is angry, originally his peers are enemies, a half-hung lion opens his mouth at the door of his own house, who can bear this?

So early this morning, he came to the door to question.

When Qu Jianlei heard him say this, he glanced at him suspiciously, this kind of foreign affairs is usually handled by flower scorpions.

However, she didn't understand mechanical maintenance.

So Qu Jianlei refused very bluntly, "It's your business!" ”

The man wearing the sleeve turned dark, "Then you are suspected of fraud, do you know what kind of crime this is?" ”

Suspected of fraud...... Qu Jianlei glanced sideways at Spencer, and simply spit out a word, "Get out!" ”

This old liar who touched porcelain, I don't know how many people I deceived, and I don't care about you, now tell me about fraud?

The repairman's face sank, "Do you believe it or not, I reported it to the city...... Have you considered the consequences? ”

"Pull it down," Cindy couldn't help it, she was familiar with this kind of thing, "I want to report it without evidence, the settlement is opened by your house?" ”

The repairman glanced at her, and there was an indescribable strangeness in his eyes.

"Don't," Spencer shouted in a hurry, he was too familiar with these things.

"Old driver, as long as he casually gets a good spindle, he can count it as evidence!"

"What the hell is this...... Cindy wanted to curse when she heard it, "the six settlements of the sky, are all such a bunch of things?" ”

Qu Jianlei looked at the maintenance engineer, his eyes flashed, and he slowly asked, "As a maintenance engineer, can you do such a dirty thing?" ”

There is a kind of morality, called industry ethics, such as financial personnel can't do anything with money, otherwise it will bury their careers.

The same goes for maintenance workers, embezzlement or robbery and the like are not considered felonies, and they can continue to do their jobs after they are released from prison.

But if you do it professionally and your reputation is bad, you can't do it anymore.

The one with the oil-stained sleeves turned red when he heard the words - those who eat technical meals are generally more face-those who eat technical rice are generally more face-saving.

Because of his work, he knows some social people, and he is hesitant to frame the other party, which is not difficult to operate.

But to do so would be to discredit his profession.

So he hesitated and replied, "If you can't prove that you're not a liar, then don't blame me for being unkind!" ”

There was a dangerous glint in the flower scorpion's eyes, "If you want us to prove our innocence, are you a threat?" ”

Spencer made up for it leisurely beside him, "It's just a companion...... Formal business is just not easy to do. ”

He is out of the way, and there is competition among peers, but everyone is disgraceful, and most of the time they emphasize cooperation.

Another middle-aged man couldn't help it and coughed lightly, "I have no intention of framing me, I just want to check the truth." ”

Cindy spoke coldly, "In what capacity do you verify the truth?" ”

The man replied in a deep voice, "My name is Geng Shougong, and I am responsible for the management and certification of maintenance technicians in the entire settlement. ”

Repair shops are self-contained and not so easy to open.

The field camp is full of dragons and snakes, not to mention the kind of small shops, and the repair shops at the supply stations must have certified maintenance technicians.

It's not just about the customer, it's about the system, and the settlement must be in your hands.

Like Qu Jianlei, who doesn't open a store and takes orders sporadically at home, others can't manage it, it's nothing more than a willingness to fight and a willingness to suffer.

Geng Shougong's words also show that the other party did not come here to smash the field, but really thought that he had encountered a liar.

But when it comes to this link, it's Cindy's strong point, "How many A-level repairers does Zhou Six have?" ”

"Ma'am, you're kidding," Geng Shougong replied, "The A-level ones are all in the general settlement. ”

He proudly said, "There are a total of five B-level students in the 6th Century, and two of them are certified by me!" ”

B-level repairers are really good, and the average settlement will not exceed three.

Cindy remembers very well that when her deceased husband was there, there were only two B-level maintenance engineers in the entire Zhousan Settlement.

One of them was already dying of old age, but even then, he was offered by everyone.

She looked thoughtfully at the man in the sleeve, "This B-class...... Are you certified too? ”

"He's only a C-grade," Geng Shougong replied calmly, "but it's been many years, and it's only a matter of time before there's a B-grade." ”

These words are very reasonable, but Cindy shook her head, "It's just C-level, and I'm not qualified to question my boss." ”

"I'm B-class," Geng Shougong pointed to himself, and said with a straight color, "It's certified in the general settlement...... Do you want to see a certificate? ”

He can feel that the other party is not only not easy to mess with, but it should not be a wild way, of course, he must pay attention to the rules.

The books that Qu Jianlei reads are actually not lost, and the Zhouliu Settlement Area can really be called "orderly".

It's just that the premise is that you have to have similar strength to have the qualifications to reason with Zeus Six.

Those guys who can even get rid of Spencer are not qualified to talk about order at all.

Cindy raised her chin and said unceremoniously, "Then I'll bother you to show it." ”

Geng Shougong took out a card and shook it, "No problem, right?" ”

"Wait," Cindy shouted, "the chain below the B-class...... How did it become a dark vein? ”

"Connoisseur!" Geng Shougong gave a thumbs up, "The certificate that was only changed the year before last, just happened to be back to the headquarters of the Celestial Character." ”

Cindy nodded at Qu Jianlei, "Boss, the identity should be fine." ”

"It's really annoying," Qu Jianlei couldn't help but mutter, "I don't rely on this line of food to eat." ”

"Slow," Geng Shougong said loudly, "Friend, if you can verify your strength, I can introduce you to a big job!" ”

When Qu Jianlei heard this, he was really moved, he didn't lack a little money or anything, but it was mutated and crystallized...... It's too expensive.

And there is a saying on the blue star - make more friends and less enemies.

But after thinking about it, he still asked again, "Are there any benefits that can be taken right away?" ”

Geng Shougong was also stunned for a moment, before he asked, "Have you read the publications on maintenance engineers?" ”

Publication? Qu Jianlei's heart trembled, the current wasteland ...... There are still publications?

Fortunately, he has a face towel on his face all the year round, and he is not worried that others will see through it.

So he asked rhetorically, "What type of publication are you talking about...... Materials, power, electronic control, sensing or detection and prevention? ”

"Connoisseur!" Geng Shougong gave a thumbs up quietly, but there were turbulent waves in his heart.

Anyone who engages in maintenance knows that equipment is made up of various systems and components, and it is not surprising to know this.

But if you think that these details have publications, then if you are not crazy, you have come into contact with a very high level!

Such news, even if it is an A-level maintenance engineer, may not be able to get in touch.

Geng Shougong himself has not been exposed to similar detailed publications, but he knows very well that there is such a thing!

So what the other party said shows that people really have a background.

"I'm not an expert," Qu Jianlei shook his head, I just experienced the era of information explosion.

He is on Blue Star, and he has really been in contact with a lot of related publications, and there are too many subdivisions, so he is not bragging.

Then he asked, very bluntly, "What can you show me?" ”

It's a bit of a philistine, but he's not afraid to ask it — want to point fingers at me? Please come up with something real.

"I only have comprehensive ones," Geng Shougong felt a little hot, "subdividing items...... It's not very convenient for the time being. ”

The repairman wearing oil-stained sleeves was shocked, "My lord, is there really a subdivision?" ”

"Shut up!" Geng Shougong glared at him impatiently, if it weren't for you, would I be so embarrassed?

The strong man and the woman had long been stunned...... We're complaining about someone.

Geng Shougong smiled at Qu Jianlei, "I happen to have a journal with me, can you take a look?" ”

Qu Jianlei didn't make any moves, just looked at each other like that - just moving his mouth, is it interesting?

Geng Shougong took out a book from his arms and handed it to Spencer next to him.

Qu Jianlei took it from the old liar and flipped it twice, it was really ...... Something.

He was exposed to a lot of scientific journals in Bluestar, and the scientific journals of the wasteland, this was his first contact.

And the text here is the fourth type of text, and there are a lot of professional terms, which he has not been exposed to before, so he really doesn't understand it.

However, it is undeniable that the pre-apocalyptic civilization of the wasteland is really awesome.

Even if it has declined now, some concepts are still far beyond Blue Star, and this is not acceptable.

After a cursory glance, he had a clearer understanding that this journal was really a good thing and could not be bought on the market.

He was just thinking about what to say when he felt a sudden pain in his brain.

In the dark, he could feel that Xiaohu, an artificial intelligence, seemed to want to include this journal as well.

However, it is normal, who can refuse the temptation of the "first time"?

So he bowed slightly, "Okay, although this journal ...... Forget it, I can give you a reasonable explanation. ”

"Sure enough, there is no sonic flaw detector?" Geng Shougong was suddenly ecstatic, this time it was really sent!

"I'll record the whole process of your explanation, and at the end of the ...... Can you sign to confirm this? ”

"Signed...... Please wait a minute," Qu Jianlei's eyes were a little weird, "What process are you going to record?" ”

——————

Chapter 84: Thirst for Talent (Fourth Update)

When Geng Shougong heard Qu Jianlei's question, he fainted directly, "I plan to record the process of explanation...... Didn't you say yes? ”

"I didn't say I was going to explain it to you," Qu Jianlei replied, "I just said that I can give you an explanation!" ”

To explain and ...... Giving an explanation, Geng Shougong thought for a while and asked, "Is there any difference between the two?" ”

These two are not the same thing at all, okay? Qu Jianlei felt a little helpless.

"Do you think I should explain to you that there is no flaw detector...... How can I find the hidden dangers of the spindle? ”

"Isn't that the case?" Geng Shougong became more and more confused, "There is no explanation, how can you confirm it?" ”

"By the way, just need a confirmation," Qu Jianlei waved his hand, "You can just bring ten or eight spindles." ”

"I'll help you detect hidden and non-hidden ...... Is it enough? ”

The repairman in the oil-stained sleeve couldn't help it, "What about the inspection process?" ”

"Don't ask about the process, just give you the result," Qu Jianlei didn't even look at him, "There are many people who want to be my apprentice...... Are you worthy? ”

"Hurry up and get the spindle, we're in a hurry to go hunting."

The group exchanged confused glances for a moment, and finally turned away.

About half an hour later, several people came over with three spindles.

After putting down the main shaft, everyone else left, leaving Geng Shougong alone.

This reaction was a bit interesting, so Qu Jianlei didn't shy away from him anymore.

He looked around the three spindles, touched them one by one, and raised his hand to knock on them.

Geng Shougong kept staring, his brows furrowed tightly: Just like this?

After Qu Jianlei turned around, he raised his head and spoke, "Three main axes...... It's all scrapped. ”

"Huh?" Geng Shougong pointed to one of them, "There is also a problem with this one?" ”

"There are hidden dangers," Qu Jianlei replied very simply, "There is trachoma in it, and there are quite a few of them, so it should be a substandard product." ”

"Trachoma ......" Geng Shougong was stunned, he originally thought that this main shaft was good.

In fact, in the eyes of the wastelanders, parts with trachoma are not too much of a problem.

This is the case in a society where materials are scarce, and if you can barely use them, sand hole will only lead to a decrease in the strength and durability of components.

Of course, if it is found to be "shoddy", it will naturally not be able to continue to sell.

But the next moment, his astonishment was replaced by even greater curiosity.

He couldn't help it, so he asked, "It's convenient to say, how did you detect it?" ”

Qu Jianlei looked at him sideways and found that in addition to curiosity, the other party's eyes were clear.

He looked at it for four or five seconds before finally sighing and helplessly asking, "What is the principle of the acoustic flaw detector?" ”

"Of course, it's based on the ......reflection of the echo," Geng Shougong replied subconsciously, and then, he was stunned.

"That's right, it's an echo," Qu Jianlei naturally asked, "Didn't you notice that I knocked on the spindle one by one?" ”

Geng Shougong did think about this, but this possibility ...... He really couldn't accept it.

Even if he got the other party's confirmation, he couldn't help but say, "This is too fake, right?" ”

Qu Jianlei didn't mind the other party's offense, because he knew very well that his answer was a bit unbelievable.

He just said calmly, "What you can't do doesn't mean that others can't do it." ”

You obviously haven't heard the story of the eighth-level fitter...... There is even a legend of the eighth-level plus.

Geng Shougong was stunned for a while before he bowed his head slightly in disbelief, "So, what is the problem with the other two spindles?" ”

"It's scrapped anyway, what do you do with so much asking?" Qu Jianlei didn't intend to satisfy his curiosity.

It's enough to show a small hand, and it's necessary to survive in the wasteland and hide moderately.

But his attitude is not too bad, "You can go back and check whether this spindle has any sand holes, and you can confirm it." ”

"I'm definitely going to check this," Geng Shougong nodded without hesitation.

"It's not that I don't believe you, but this kind of thing is too unbelievable, the craftsmanship of the spindle...... How can trachoma occur? ”

"Yes," Qu Jianlei nodded sympathetically, "I'm also very curious, and I knocked more when I tested it." ”

When tech nerds talk about technology, it's easy to get caught up in it.

However, Geng Shougong still has some official status, and he casually asked, "Have you ever been a maintenance technician?" ”

He wanted to determine if this was the only one who had one hand or if he was strong in other ways.

Qu Jianlei did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically, "Why certification?" ”

"Why not certify?" Geng Shougong was successfully led astray from his thinking, "Isn't it good to have a job of ensuring harvest in drought and flood?" ”

Qu Jian replied surgingly, "I don't like the kind of life that can see the end at a glance. ”

This view is somewhat similar to that of the rebellious girl Claire, but he really doesn't like an ordinary, uneventful life.

Geng Shougong was defeated by this answer, and it must be admitted that some people are indeed unwilling to settle down.

Then, there is no need to continue this topic, "In the future, there will be difficult maintenance work, are you willing to take it?" ”

"It depends," Qu Jianlei replied lightly, "Actually, I'm not short of this little money." ”

Money...... Geng Shougong continued to be speechless, and earned four hundred silver dollars in less than two days, do you call this a small money?

He could feel that the other party was indeed not short of money, and the equipment and layout in the yard had already shown this.

But should you be so loud? "Can you polish a good engine by hand?"

Qu Jianlei thought about it, and then bowed slightly, "The engine that is not too difficult should be fine." ”

"But I don't have much interest in this, it's too much of a waste of time, and there's no need to live on this."

Not interested...... Geng Shougong was speechless again, but through this answer, he also basically judged the other party's maintenance level.

With just such a hand, there is no problem in obtaining a C-level maintenance technician certification.

If there are no obvious shortcomings in other aspects, it should not be difficult to obtain B-level certification.

How can such a mechanical maintenance master be so uninterested in his specialty?

Geng Shougong couldn't wait to forcibly bring this guy into the settlement and ask him not to be so unscrupulous.

But after thinking about it, if this person really took this path, he would sooner or later be certified A-level, Zhou VI...... There will be no one left.

For him, discovering A-level maintenance engineers is a performance, but it is also a credit to improve the local maintenance level and prosper the market.

So he doesn't dwell on that anymore, but there's still a problem.

He had to think of a way to increase the other party's interest in repairs, and not waste his craft.

Geng Shougong thought for a moment and spoke, "You seem to be very interested in mechanical journals?" ”

"Well," Qu Jianlei nodded, he didn't hide this, "Yiduo doesn't press down." ”

"I can provide you with a journal to read," Geng Shougong stared into his eyes and spoke slowly.

"In exchange, you're going to help Zeus Six repair the equipment three times a year when the time is convenient...... At a reasonable price. ”

"Convenient timing" and "reasonable price" are emphasized, so they are all sincere, right?

"Forget it," Qu Jianlei shook his head very dryly, "I don't like any constraints...... I can spend money on periodicals. ”

"Is this something that money can buy?" Geng Shougong was angry and funny, "My conditions are already very relaxed. ”

Qu Jianlei continued to shake his head, "I don't know if I will continue to stay in Zhou VI after the beginning of spring." ”

"Once I agree to your request, I will definitely do it, and it will affect my plans for the future."

Geng Shougong was silent, I forgot, this is still a foreigner.

However, people who can value commitments so much can't do much harm, right?

In fact, Qu Jianlei is lying, Cindy's mother and daughter have already handled the identity of the settlement, and if there is no accident, he will live in Zhouliu permanently.

However, promising the other party to repair it will be somewhat restrained, and more importantly, his presence will become very high-profile.

Geng Shougong thought about it for a while, and asked tentatively, "Help you get the identity of Zhou Liu?" ”

"What do I want that thing for?" Qu Jianlei asked disappreciatively, "I said, I don't want a dull life." ”

And sure enough, it was! Geng Shougong tried to make a final effort, "Mechanical maintenance is actually promising!" ”

Qu Jianlei continued to shake his head, "That's just your promising, not mine!" ”

Geng Shougong's eyes rolled, and he asked tentatively, "Then I'll rent it to you, a silver dollar for a book?" ”

"Then thank you very much," Qu Jianlei replied without hesitation, "When it's convenient, I will pay to help repair it." ”

He didn't think the price was outrageous, strictly speaking, the thing was priceless at all.

Geng Shougong grinned, "How many copies will I get you first?" ”

He is in charge of mechanical maintenance and has more than 1,000 books and periodicals in the settlement.

"The more the merrier," Qu Jianlei replied without hesitation, and in this regard, he was really willing to spend money.

Putting aside the nature of the tech nerd, after he takes revenge, he still has to survive and cultivate, and it is important to master the craft of making money.

Geng Shougong asked quietly, "That'...... Two thousand? ”

Qu Jianlei was obviously stunned, he really didn't expect that there were so many books related to Zhou Liu.

The next moment, he still nodded simply, "Yes." ”

When he left Zhou San, his silver ticket was less than two thousand, but fortunately, he didn't spend much money on the road, and he made a small profit.

After coming to Zhou Liu, it was the same, although the cost was not small, but the order of four hundred silver dollars still helped him recover his blood.

Now that he was tight, he could almost scrape together two thousand silver dollars.

If it's really not enough, you can use the energy block to top the account - and even make a wave of price difference.

Seriously, this kind of opportunity is too rare, and it's worth emptying your pockets for it.

Geng Shougong was stunned when he saw the other party, and he originally laughed secretly in his heart.

After hearing this answer, he was also stunned: No, is this guy so rich?

(Four more arrived, seeking to chase and monthly passes.) ）
