The Outcast

Chapter 38: Genius and idiot

Views:

For a six-year-old girl to memorize such complicated plumbing lines in the mezzanine of a spaceship, to run around with a doll in her arms without fear of the dark, is an astounding thing in itself. However, Xu Le thought that when he was six years old, he had already started to run around in the dark mine cobwebs with Li Wei. When he was interested, he would catch a few wild cats and go back to play, and he was relieved.

In the next few days, after Xu Le and Xiao Xigua finished their meal, they would sneak into the air-conditioning duct from Clean Area 32 and come to the waste storage compartment with dust all over their bodies. Xu Le devoted himself to studying the instructions, preparing the materials, and studying how to repair the big broken mecha as much as possible, while the little watermelon was holding the doll, squatting beside him with interest, and watching Xu Le's body obediently and quietly. Every move.

Fortunately, there are bathing and laundry facilities in Xu Le's rudimentary lounge. Otherwise, how dirty would the two children, one big and one small, look like, but even if they washed every night, the white pajamas on the little watermelon's body were very different in color. Still getting deeper.

Xu Le was very interested in that worn-out mecha, so he could stay there for a long time. The reason why Little Watermelon follows him every day is obviously because he is very interested in Xu Le's focused expression, and to Xu Le's surprise, whenever he is in some kind of predicament and there is a problem with the drawing of the drawings, The little watermelon can always give some opinions that look childish, but are actually very open-minded.

Xu Le's problems in repairing the mecha mainly arise from his unfamiliarity with the structure of the mecha itself. Although he can understand the principles and work goals through the manuals for some individual chips and linkages, once it involves a large-scale biological simulation framework , he was a little confused, especially this cumbersome old mecha, he hadn't even seen the pictures before. On the other hand, Little Watermelon has no knowledge of electronic repairs at all. She just seems to have seen countless mechas in her short six-year-old life. Intuitively, she told Xu Le childishly what it seemed like here. , what it should look like here, what it might look like here.

With the general intuition of the outer armor, it can help to carry out the internal repair work. In addition to being pleasantly surprised, Xu Le also has more questions about the little watermelon's family. In today's federal society, general energy is still very abundant, but there are not many crystal mines for interstellar navigation. Although the mecha uses Jingnong high-energy batteries, it is extremely expensive and consumes a lot of energy. The entire federal military There are probably no more than 400 mechas now. What exactly does Little Watermelon's house do? How could a six-year-old girl actually see so many mechas with her own eyes

These questions passed by in a flash, Xu Le did not think too deeply, because at this time all his energy had been attracted by the dilapidated mecha in front of him, he devoted himself to the repair work, although talking about It is not about forgetting food and sleep, but it can also be called a heart without foreign objects.

So, this old M02 mecha, which has been scrapped for a long time and was thrown into the waste compartment of the spaceship, has long been forgotten, and it has played its role again and has become a toy for Xu Le and Xiao Xigua, but this The toy is too big.

The three-section metal fingers are now connected by an alloy wire that Xu Le removed from the induction handle of a self-propelled sweeper. The armor on the front of the mecha broke a big hole, and at this time, it was barely covered with a thick heavy metal sheet that Xu Le didn't know what it was. In fact, it is not difficult to repair the appearance of the mecha. After all, Xu Le never thought of repairing this dilapidated mecha into a powerful weapon that can resist artillery fire. The key is the chip set, transmission device, and information transmission inside the mecha. The device is extremely difficult to repair.

Fortunately, the Guzhong spacecraft has more than one waste storage compartment. Xu Le was pleasantly surprised to find countless wastes from the three storage compartments next to him, but turned all these waste metal components into the treasures he needed. , the chip set was separated into three parts by the alloy string wire. In the absence of precision instruments, he only hoped that the chip sets would not interfere with each other. As for those damaged chips, it was impossible to repair. As for the transmission device, Xu Le pinned his hope of repair on the few mining trucks in the waste storage compartment B. Although the two transmission devices are not the same model at all, some parts inside can still interact with each other. Change.

The most troublesome thing is the information transmission sensor device of the mecha. Xu Le worked excitedly for several days before he took off enough parts from countless broken household appliances, and it took more time to remove these parts. The parts are grouped together.

Xu Le, who was covered in dust and oil, stared blankly at the tall mecha in front of him. He couldn't believe his eyes. He couldn't remember how long it took, but he still didn't think that he could really Putting those jumbled pieces together in such a rudimentary situation.

The little watermelon with gray and black on his face hugged the doll, leaned against Xu Le's thigh, squinted his eyes and looked up. After a long time, he said in a milky voice, "It's so ugly."

It was really ugly, and even the mecha that was repaired by Xu Le at this time was even uglier than it was at the beginning. The paint layer on the surface of the mecha body was damaged unsightly, and the relatively complete outer armor was dismantled into pieces by Xu Le, because it was impossible for those parts to be perfectly designed into the mecha system. The size is also completely wrong, so to put the gear in, you have to break off part of the casing. At this time, the M02 was full of remnants of engine oil and scattered circuit board lines. It looked extremely embarrassed. Like a filthy fat beggar in tattered rags.

"Oh, it's really ugly." Xu Le touched his head subconsciously, looked up at the mecha in front of him, and said, "I don't know if he can move."

Xu Le really has no confidence in repairing mechas, because this is the first time he has been exposed to this kind of thing, and he is completely using the method that his boss Feng Yu taught him to repair home appliances, which sounds a bit ridiculous. , It was completely unbelievable, so he didn't dare to expect this tattered mecha to really move.

"Even if the three-section alloy finger can move a little bit, it will be satisfied." Xu Le happily looked at the mecha in front of him, thinking in his heart that his requirements were indeed very low, but they were actually very high. The repair of the mecha will be messed up like a jerk. If you can really repair this mecha and move it, this God really doesn't have eyes.

"Try it." Little Watermelon shook the hair on her forehead, looking very serious. She looked at Xu Le and nodded and encouraged: "Brother, maybe he can really move."

There is a stable current output interface in the waste storage compartment, which Xu Le confirmed on the first day. After hearing Xiao Xigua's words, he took a deep breath, walked behind the beggar mecha, connected the cable to the current outlet on the wall, and stared at the light-screen display behind the mecha's waist earnestly. It wasn't until the light screen gradually turned red that he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the first-generation Jingnong high-energy battery was indeed a legendary perfect product, and it was still usable after more than 60 years.

When the red column rose to one-third of the height, Xu Le stopped charging. This was for the sake of safety later. After all, this broken mecha has been put away for so many years and has been tossed for so long by himself. Full power start, who knows what will happen? Although an explosion is impossible, what if it falls apart? He has encountered many accidents in the mine operation room over the years, but today there is a cute little girl like Little Watermelon around him, so of course he should be careful.

"Where is the hatch switch?" Although the operating hatch of this M02 mecha has long been damaged, Xu Le still asked, because according to the instructions in the manual, the mecha can only be activated after the hatch cover is opened. Program Load button.

Little Watermelon blinked, as if recalling a certain scene, scratched his head in distress, pointed to the protrusion under the armor of the mecha's head, and said, "It seems to be there."

Xu Le already believed in Little Watermelon's guidance, Yiyan smoothly opened the hatch that no longer existed, and then pressed the program load button, and began to wait in silence and excitement.

I don't know how long it took, the operation cabin of the tattered mecha suddenly lit up, there was a long beep, the self-check signal indicated that it passed, and a faint and soft light enveloped the whole body of the body!

Xu Le stood dumbfounded on the armor on the chest of the mecha. He couldn't believe what he saw. Even the central control system was good? He did not have any hope of repair work at all, but he actually repaired this mecha? Although this only repaired the most basic parts and functions of the mecha, and it was not repaired, he still felt extremely excited and happy.

"Brother, you are a genius." The little watermelon clapped her little palm excitedly on the ground and shouted at him.

"Of course, I'm a genius."

Xu Le was a little stunned, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said with a subconscious smile, but suddenly his heart felt as if a heavy object had hit him, and he was stunned on top of the tall mecha. Li Wei once said that he was a genius, and the boss also said that, the boss... He lowered his head and looked at the tattered parts on the mecha under his feet, those components that looked very strange, those that had begun to show incompatibility due to power problems. The chip monitoring of the stable signs showed that it was a little familiar, so I understood why my methods did not feel jerky at all, nor did they feel strange or difficult in the process of repairing the mecha these days.

Uncle Feng taught himself to repair household appliances for four years, and he once complained. It turned out that in the process of repairing those ordinary appliances, the boss had taught himself the more sophisticated skills and broader ideas of repairing mechas! Standing on the mecha shrouded in soft light, Xu Le was dumbfounded, thinking that he was a shitty genius, but he was actually an idiot.
