Since Maixi Boxing is not a colonial star, but an industrial neutral planet with a population agglomeration effect, there are only five cities on the surface, one main city and four satellite cities. Han Xiao landed on the largest main city.
Viewed from a high altitude, the city of Maixi Boxing has a strong industrial style. It is dominated by huge spaceship factories. In some places, large spaceships are even assembled in the open air, and the skeletons of these spaceships can be seen directly from the sky. There are no real dwellings on this planet, only dormitories and entertainment facilities for mechanics and workers, as well as various hotels for interstellar travelers.
There is a conch-shaped mechanical floating city in the center of the city. This is the base camp of "Giant Soldier Builder" Seidm. The tall sentinel-type mechanical giant is in a dormant state. As long as it is attacked, it will automatically activate to attack the intruder, and its combat effectiveness is very strong.
The three branches of the mechanical department have specializations. Seidim is obviously a Grade A mechanic of the armed department, and is good at creating powerful mechanical giants, while a virtual mechanic like Han Xiao is good at turning other people's machinery into his shape. , let other mechanics feel the love as broad as the prairie.
There are eight surface ports in the main city of Maixi Boxing. The spacecraft landed at the No. 3 surface port according to the ground instructions and drove into the hangar. After Han Xiao went through the simple procedures, he walked out of the airport with the disguised Hela three people and mixed in the port. of people entering the city.
wow—
The uproar is coming, the crowd is bustling, the streets are full of creatures of all races, there are dwarf Nilan, there are tall stone giants, and even some arthropods, all interstellar citizens from different star clusters. Someone was hawking, someone was negotiating where to have fun, and the Interstellar Translator allowed them to communicate with each other.
The voices of people are like boiling, a scene of noisy and prosperous interstellar society.
"It's so lively here, it's all neutral planets, why is Dragon Calm so lonely?" Aurora looked around curiously.
"Because Dragon Calm has no special industry, and it is not friendly to foreign consortia."
Han Xiao shook his head and smiled. The area with Transcendent A Grade has always been very popular. The poor management of Dragon Calm is completely a problem with the strategy, and Emersy does not want to develop well.
Moreover, in terms of the nature of the site, Maixi Boxing is a pure industrial planet, while Dragon Calm is Emersy's home. The management model and degree of openness of the two are different.
Seidm's strength is also qualified to be a big boss. He is also a mechanic with technical advantages, and he is good at attracting investment, so it is very easy to make a site prosperous.
call-
At this time, there was the sound of energy jets in the sky, and several people looked up, and a formation of mechanical guards just flew overhead. This is the armed force used by Seidm to maintain law and order, and it is also his own mechanical force.
"It's quite profitable to open a neutral planet. Well, although my Black Star Legion is a member of a higher-level force, it seems to be a good idea to get a neutral industry planet. It can focus on attracting leeks... Well, but this has to wait for a secret. After the war is over..."
Han Xiao rubbed his chin and pondered secretly, thinking about the business expansion of the Legion.
Black Star's identity is still quite well-known in Broken Starlink. Fortunately, he was disguised, so no one recognized him along the way. The group changed to a ground suspension vehicle and came to a shipyard in the central area of the main city.
This shipyard is very large and magnificent. Han Xiao and the others stopped outside the gate and looked up at the floating virtual colored signboard, which read "Peak Cornerstone Group" in interstellar common language.
This is one of the shipyards with the best reputation in Maixi Boxing.
"That's right here." Han Xiao nodded and turned on the communicator. On the screen was the recruitment notice of the Pinnacle Cornerstone Group.
This kind of large shipyard has been recruiting mechanics for a long time, and the minimum access condition is C-level rank or a mechanical technician certificate issued by a galaxy-level civilization - this is just like the minimum education required by the enterprise.
Han Xiao does not have a mechanical technician certificate, which is something that R&D and life-type superpowers need. It is essentially convenient for those researchers and mechanics who don't like to fight and kill. For his rank, if he wants to get a certificate, he doesn't need an assessment at all.
Power users have extraordinary power, and some people use this power to practice violence - such as star thieves, mercenaries and bounty hunters, while others use their abilities to produce. Five-line power users are also very important in the interstellar society. productivity and labor.
Among them, the mechanical department and the magic department are the most popular, and the market of some special abilities is also good. The psychic is suitable for psychological adjustment, exploration and investigation, etc. Only the martial arts have a very worrying employment prospect, because the martial arts are the best at hard work. Robots can do all kinds of things, and it's much cheaper - after all, who foreman would specially invite a martial artist to move bricks!
Several people walked into the shipyard, and there were many customers in the reception hall, all of whom came to order spaceships, and were using the self-service screen in the lobby to browse the desired spaceship model to place orders.
Han Xiao found an unmanned self-service operation screen and directly pressed the manual service. The next moment, the screen of the self-service operation screen switched to a cosmic human beauty receptionist.
"Hello, dear customer, you are welcome to use the business services of Pinnacle Cornerstone Group. How can I help you?"
"I'm the mechanic who came to apply for the job." Han Xiao expressed his intention, the camouflage is very effective and will not be recognized.
"Okay, please follow the reception robot, and there will be a person in charge of interviewing you to receive you."
A slap-sized white spherical robot flew over, wearing a pocket receptionist's clothes, it was really cute, it saluted, and then led the way ahead.
Leaving the reception hall all the way, passing through the peripheral factory area, and entering a large workshop, Han Xiao saw at a glance that many low-level mechanics were working on lathes and assembling parts.
At this time, a well-dressed white-haired old man came up to greet him, his hair was tied in a braid at the back of his head, and he looked quite kind with a smile on his face.
"Hello, I'm a senior mechanical engineer at Summit Cornerstone Group, Luke."
"Your name is Luke?!" Han Xiao couldn't help staring at him, his eyes a little weird.
"Uh... Is there something wrong?" The white-haired old man asked tentatively with a puzzled expression, "Do you know me?"
"It's okay." Han Xiao coughed dryly, "It's just that I have a friend with the same name as you."
"Haha, the translator basically transliterates names. The universe is so big, and it's normal to have duplicate names." Luke laughed twice, then said, "What do you call it?"
By the way, I have to make up a pseudonym...
Han Xiao raised a bad taste, coughed, and said with a smile: "You can call me Baan."
Luke always felt that Han Xiao's smile was indescribably weird, which made him a little scared and couldn't help but tighten his scalp.
In Maixi Boxing, there are many star thieves or mercenaries from the mechanical department who have changed careers as boatmen. Could it be that this guy named Baen also changed careers as star thieves
Luke paused, brought the topic back to the right track, and said solemnly: "Our top cornerstone group has been recruiting mechanics for a long time. You should have read the conditions. May I ask which test method you want to use? It is to show the mechanical technician certificate. Or a test rank?"
"Test the stage."
Luke nodded, raised his hand to release a mechanical force, grabbed the reception robot in his hand, and the energy fluctuation displayed in an instant was of a B-level level.
He glanced at Han Xiao quietly, and seeing that Han Xiao's expression did not change, he nodded secretly, pressed a few times on the reception robot, and a probe popped out of the robot's head, which was a device used to test the energy level.
"You can use this thing, just release a mechanical force to the probe." Luke said.
Han Xiao exhaled and carefully mobilized the Mechanical Force in his body, for fear that he would shoot out too much and expose his A-level rank.
A mechanical force shot from his fingertips hit the probe, Luke glanced at the test results, his face suddenly changed, and his tone suddenly became enthusiastic.
"Are you a B+ grade mechanic?!"
It seems to be a bit high... Han Xiao is helpless.
B+ is basically the top talent that the shipyard can recruit. A-level power users are not Chinese cabbage. Although natural disasters are very common in secret wars, in daily interstellar life, A-level dragons can't see the end, and it is even more impossible Apply for a job at an ordinary shipyard.
"Any more tests needed?"
"No need, no need, we will directly give you the title and remuneration of senior engineer, this is the treatment you deserve at this level."
Luke is very enthusiastic. In the group, b-level is a prerequisite for becoming a senior engineer, and credit must be accumulated, while b+ can directly become a senior engineer.
"Please wait a moment, I will ask the senior management to negotiate with you directly."
After that, he turned his head to report the situation to the upper management, and then enthusiastically took Han Xiao to visit various areas of the shipyard.
It didn't take long for several senior management of the Top Corner Group to arrive to discuss the issue of treatment sincerely. Han Xiao came mainly for his expertise. The two parties soon signed a two-year work contract, which included some clauses that the drawings could not be leaked. .
- Of course, Han Xiao did not intend to abide by the contract. He signed the contract as "Bahn" and prepared to leave when he got his expertise. Even if his true identity was revealed one day, with his status in the interstellar space, how could a mere shipyard dare to hold him accountable? His responsibility for breach of contract is indeed to bring evil people.
Moreover, he himself did not intend to harm the interests of others - we have a peak natural disaster grade to work for you, what do you think
After the contract was signed, Luke smiled and shook hands with Han Xiao.
"Top Cornerstone Group warmly welcomes you to join us and wish us a happy cooperation."
Han Xiao nodded, "What project do I need to be responsible for?"
"Well, it's like this. The group recently received a high-level order from a major customer. The other party provided drawings. We need to build a relatively rare type of warship in batches. Our production line cannot manufacture some of the spacecraft parts with high technical requirements. These The drawings of the parts are very complicated, at least a B-level mechanic can learn and make them, so we have used many senior engineers, but the progress is not ideal... "
"I understand, my job is to build some parts." Han Xiao nodded.
"Yes, I will arrange your accommodation first, and then I will give you the drawings of some components. You should have five days of free time to study the drawings, and then you can borrow the group's factory to start manufacturing. Each senior engineer There are task indicators, you are new to the program, and the schedule may be a bit rushed." Luke explained.
It doesn't take five days, as long as you give me the blueprint, I can learn it in a second... Han Xiao shook his head and smirked, and with the natural disaster-level manufacturing ability, mass-producing spaceship parts is just like playing.
At this time, the panel finally moved, and the task popped up.
[[engineer]]
[Task profile: The first rule of thumb for mechanics, a mechanic who does not use other people's resources to train himself will have an incomplete career! ]
[Task requirements: Use the resources of the Summit Cornerstone Group to create 1500 products (the type is not limited, but it must be the business assigned by the group), the current progress: 0/1500]
[Reward: 650 experience, Specialty Reward - [Skilled Mechanic]]
"The mission has finally been triggered." Han Xiao was overjoyed.
Although the name of this specialty is a bit frustrating, the effect is still very good, and the cost-effectiveness of the specialty that can enhance the main occupation has always been very high.
He now has a total of 13 mechanical specialties, [Power Modification], [Mechanical Analysis and Comprehension], [Virtual Technology Specialization], [Mechanical Theory Summary], [Ordnance Mass Production Experience], [Flexible Weapon Application], [Super Electricity] Magnetic Induction], [Elementary Mechanical Sense], [Assembly Line Manufacturing Expert], [Advanced Mecha Driver], [Mechanical Truth Mastery], [Mechanical Force Sublimation·Apostle Body], most of which are obtained from the main occupation .
The superimposed increase of the various mechanical specialties is very considerable, and the accumulation of small amounts will add up.
…
For the next half of the day, Luke accompanied Han Xiao to understand the area of the shipyard. At night, his residence was finally arranged. He lived in the senior dormitory within the group. The three of Hela acted as his bodyguards and lived together. went in.
After tidying up the room, Aurora couldn't help but ask: "Uncle, is there any other purpose for you to stay here to work?"
"Oh?" Han Xiao was curious.
"You actually want to steal business secrets, steal the blueprints here." Aurora's tone was excited, with an expression of "I guessed it right".
"You think too much, I don't need to do such a low-level thing." Han Xiao's mouth twitched, "It's good to spend money on what blueprints you want, and I'm not poor."
"Black Star, we won't really stay here for two years, will we?" Fording asked suddenly.
"Of course it's impossible, what do you think." Han Xiao was helpless.
Fording sighed, "We've followed you around for the past three months. You said it was to experience a different life and see more things, but I really can't think of how this will help you break through Transcendent A Grade."
Han Xiao had to use an excuse to prevaricate, "I've been fighting for seven years, and I haven't made any progress. Maybe relaxing, I will gain different results."
Fording reluctantly said: "In short, you have to know in your heart, you really don't have much time, if you really can't break through, you have to make plans early, whether you are asking Dragon Seat for help or escaping from Broken Starlink, you must have a plan. plan."
You, you talk like I'm going to get cold soon, if only you were Lackey...
At this time, the doorbell was rang, and Luke walked in with a thick stack of blueprints, put them on the table, chatted a few words, and then turned and left.
These are the drawings of three parts. In order to prevent the technology of the entire spacecraft from leaking, each senior engineer gets drawings of different parts and is responsible for the production of different links.
Han Xiao took dozens of seconds to quickly browse the blueprints. The blueprints of the three components were recognized by the panel, and the skills were generated and fully mastered.
"The technical level of these three parts is a bit high... Ordinary spaceships don't need these three parts, only super-large spaceships need them..."
Han Xiao was suddenly stunned.
It seems that only spacecraft with star cluster technology will use these three components...
These factors are linked... Could it be that the order received by the Summit Cornerstone Group is to build a star cluster-level flagship? A spaceship like the Amethyst Star Diamond flagship? !
That is a manufacturing process that must be kept secret by a star cluster-level civilization!
Han Xiao was heartbroken. He was not a mechanic of the Armament Department, and he had always lacked blueprints for large-scale machinery. Only one satellite fortress could come up with it. If he could get a blueprint for a star cluster-level flagship, it would be a big unexpected gain.
