Qu Jianlei sat on the starship, looking at the starport outside the porthole, and was a little distracted for a while.

He really didn't expect that after just over half a year, he would be able to board the starship again and gracefully.

If you want to say that the boss of your own family, in addition to loving money, there is really no problem in doing things, and today this thing is done beautifully.

It's true that this factory is not big, and the boss is only a C-level warrior, but the connections are really not bad.

The boss even got the information of the captain of the starship and gave him a copy before leaving.

"After getting on the starship, I went to him if I had something, saying that he was a friend of Big, and I could stuff some money if necessary."

Just for this point, Qu Jianlei forgave this person for exploiting himself - he was originally willing to fight and suffer.

However, this time, the riding conditions are not so good.

He ordered a cheap starship, which carried more than five hundred passengers at a time, and the space was very cramped, and the cargo hold was a little larger.

The room he was in now was a six-person room, with three bunk beds and a one-by-one survival pod.

Even washing and going to the toilet are public washrooms and toilets, and the air is a bit dirty.

But there is no way, as a debt-ridden ex-gambler, it is doubtful that he can afford a ferry ticket.

At this time, he dared to buy another business class or something, and it is estimated that the boss would not agree to guarantee it.

Qu Jianlei bought a lower bunk, and the other five bunks were a family of four, as well as a middle-aged man and a young woman.

The two children of a family of four, with only one ticket, will also share a life-support cabin when they jump.

Middle-aged men and young women are in a group, the men are relatively well-dressed, and the women are a bit dusty, but she is the main one.

Qu Jianlei has no intention of delving into these things, for him, getting to the destination safely is the key, and the rest is not important.

The starship finally took off on time, and Qu Jianlei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, in the next three or five years, it would be impossible for him to come to Tiangou again.

In fact, he was a little unwilling, he communicated with Qing Arc quite well, and the other party invited him to go to the Girl Star Domain together.

But the exposure of the thunderstorm made him have to flee again, which is indeed full of regrets.

After the starship passed the liftoff period, the flight became stable and the cabin became active.

Two children were playing, and the four adults were chatting without a word.

The couple doesn't seem to care much about foreign affairs, but from time to time they say that women care more about their two children.

The other man and woman are slightly active, and the middle-aged man looks like a social cow, and he can talk to anyone casually, and his interest is very high.

The dusty woman is a little arrogant, and only chats with middle-aged men and men in the couple.

However, although she is a little smoky and flattering, her outfit does not look cheap, and she speaks with some arrogance.

Qu Jianlei didn't want to do much at all, leaning there and napping.

The woman tentatively said a few words to him, and finally closed her mouth stupidly.

But the man is really patient, and after a while, he will say a few words to Qu Jianlei without the slightest embarrassment.

There was no sentence like this, and time passed unconsciously.

A day later, the radio in the cabin sounded, "Now for an important news, an important news." ”

"Minor failure of the jump engine maintenance robotic arm, slight failure of the jump engine maintenance robotic arm."

"Passengers from related majors, please come and help deal with it, and passengers from related majors, please come and help deal with it."

The wind and dust girl's face turned white when she heard this, "Is this going to be an accident?" ”

The wife trembled, but she held the two children tightly in her arms, as if she wanted to hold up the whole universe for them.

The husband also had a pale face, and said with a wry smile, "Fortunately, the family is here, but ...... Insurance is less bought. ”

It can be seen that he wants to try to create a relaxed atmosphere, but unfortunately the joke is a bit too cold.

His wife glared at him before he was about to speak, when the middle-aged man spoke up, "It's not in the way, it's a glitch." ”

As a wife, she suddenly couldn't care about the seizure, and asked eagerly, "Is it really a big problem?" ”

The middle-aged man talked eloquently, "The robotic arm responsible for maintenance is just malfunctioning, not the main robotic arm." ”

"The failure of the robotic arm is a trivial matter, interstellar navigation, how big is the robotic arm?"

The wife is still worried, "The robotic arm responsible for repairing the jump engine, what if it breaks down during the jump?" ”

The middle-aged man replied lightly, "There was a malfunction during the jump, and it was too late to use the mechanical arm." ”

"This robotic arm is a fault that can be repaired in time before the jump is found."

He said it eloquently, but the wife was still worried, "What if the fault is found before the jump?" ”

"Return," the man replied casually, "but it costs a lot of money to get back, so the starship is looking for someone to help with repairs." ”

The husband finally calmed down and sneered, "Hehe, low-cost starships, that's it." ”

The wife glared at him fiercely, "It's not you who slammed the door?" I don't want to ride this low-cost starship. ”

The husband smiled wryly, "Isn't that okay?" I'm frugal and take a family to travel, but it's wrong? ”

Qu Jianlei didn't participate in the argument, so he squinted his eyes and took a nap there, he knew in his heart that the middle-aged man was roughly right.

A few people were making a noise, and a beautiful flight attendant pushed the door in, "Is Mr. Tesla here?" ”

When Qu Jianlei heard this, he opened his eyes helplessly, "I am, something?" ”

"The captain said that you have a lot of experience in maintenance," the flight attendant replied very politely, "and asked me to ask for your help." ”

When Qu Jianlei heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, "I'm the boss...... Really good at business. ”

He also thought that the boss just sold his favor, but he didn't think about it, and he also sold the favor to the captain!

Well, it's not a favor, after all, starships are in interstellar voyages, and there are too few times when there are problems.

It's like the Shenzhou football team promising a certain country that if we qualify early, we can negotiate a few goals for you at that time.

But in any case, the boss's business acumen, he has to be convinced, and he can still sell favors on both sides.

The beautiful flight attendant obviously didn't understand the root of this, but the captain's orders, she couldn't not listen.

That's the man who can make her experience all kinds of knowledge.

She tried to squeeze out a smile, "The captain said that he would reward you with a free return ticket, and if you have obvious contributions, you can count them separately." ”

The husband couldn't help but muttered in a low voice, "Hehe, low-cost starships, is it important to have one more person and one less person?" ”

Qu Jianlei frowned, and finally nodded reluctantly, "Mouthful." ”

It's really not a question of money or not, after all, he is also a passenger on the starship.

And...... If he really wants to go back, that's something he definitely doesn't want to see.

The captain is a handsome young man in his early forties, who seems to have some aura, but his speech and demeanor are quite polite.

Qu Jianlei checked the mechanical arm and found that it was ...... There is a slight air leak!

Don't think about it, a starship is a starship, not a blue star's mother, let alone a simulated ship.

The empire's technology is relatively developed, and the operation terminal of the robotic arm relies heavily on gas lubrication and drive.

Specific details...... I won't inject water, anyway, this air leak is the same as the leakage of the hydraulic column of Bluestar.

Once the liquid leaks, the robotic arm will inevitably be not silky enough, the friction will increase and it will be easily damaged, and the driving power will also be reduced.

In short, it's not a big problem, it's just a small flaw in the terminal link.

But it's not just about lubrication, it's about drive, and it can't be seen as a small problem.

"It's good to fill the gap," Qu Jianlei really doesn't think it's a big problem.

But he wanted to emphasize one point, "I am only good at finding defects, filling gaps, and I still have to be arranged by the captain." ”

The captain said that there was no problem, there were maintenance workers on the starship, but the starship maintenance engineer did not come out this time.

But cheap starships...... It's also normal, the maintenance engineer's fee is not low,

Of course, compared to the income of a starship voyage, this money is nothing, the key is ...... Can't do it, can you?

Cheap starships earn this bit of hard-earned money, saying that it is a starship company, but they must be frugal in all aspects, otherwise they will not make money.

The accompanying maintenance worker can make simple repairs, but if you look for faults, your ability is a bit insufficient.

It was impossible for Qu Jianlei to show too much ability, and it took three hours to find out the fault with the starship's own tools.

The repair took longer, five hours, and the results were fantastic.

After Qu Jianlei confirmed the results, he returned to the cabin on crutches.

The captain originally intended to place him in business class, but he didn't want to attract attention at all and politely declined.

Back in the crowded cabin, facing the foul air, he regretted a little.

Especially those who kept asking him what was going on.

He replied dryly, and everyone saw that he was really "wooden", and finally did not bother again.

Qu Jianlei then closed his eyes to recuperate, but it had stopped for less than an hour, and the starship shook violently.

He also slowly opened his eyes and smacked his mouth speechlessly: Why is my luck so bad?

Two minutes later, the starship's radio rang out again.

"I'm sorry to inform you that we have encountered a Star Thief."

"For the sake of everyone's safety, please don't resist, we will work hard to ensure your personal safety."

The couple was stunned for a moment, and the wife scolded angrily first, "The starship actually doesn't resist? Isn't this a laissez-faire robbery? ”

The husband sighed and replied in a low voice, "Cheap starship, that's it." ”

Passenger starships do have defensive weapons, but they are cheap...... It's hard to put into words.

After a while, the starship shook slightly, and then the emergency hatch opened, and a dozen guys with masks rushed in.

At the head is a C-class warrior who speaks loudly with a Gauss rifle.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are also eating together, just asking for money...... It's better to be alive than anything else, everyone says, right? ”

The next moment, he pulled the trigger, and with a "bang" sound, it pierced the thigh of one of the passengers.
