The First Evolution

Chapter 485: SCI

Of course, Fang Linyan didn’t know that so many dirty things were happening behind the scenes.

However, when he first entered the captain’s room, he knew that his previous guess was correct.

Because what appeared on the light screen opposite Latvis was the scene of him repairing and welding in front of the door.

After seeing Fang Linyan coming, Latvis immediately stood up to greet him. He said with a smile,

“I never expected that Mr. Ruvel, you are so talented in mechanical maintenance.”

Fang Linyan smiled and said,

“I just like classic cars. It’s very difficult to repair these antiques, so I usually practice a lot…”

“By the way, Captain, you can call me Battery. That’s what all my friends call me.”

Fang Linyan also discovered, in addition to Latvis and Jha, a middle-aged man whose right hand was severed at the elbow and had been replaced with a robot hand.

Latvis took the initiative to introduce Second Mate Sanchez to Fang Linyan.

These 3 people should be the current decision-makers in Coles.

Latvis smiled and said solemnly,

“Well, we summon you here for an important matter that may require your help.”

Fang Linyan said calmly,

“Mr. Latvis, please tell.”

Latvis said,

“Coles was traveling normally on the space route, but for some reason, it accidentally went into the meteorite belt. The meteorite belt is still moving.”

“The biggest problem we face now is the lack of power because the energy shield is a large energy consumer. The cause of it is the problem happening on the second engine.”

“Although I have activated the backup engine now, Coles has been deeply trapped in the meteorite belt and has been damaged in many places. At present, it can only maintain the current state…”

Then, Jha added seriously,

“Due to previous sudden accidents, experienced personnel suffered heavy casualties.”

“I can drive the engineering ship close to the injured area, but there is still a lack of one person to control our engineering exoskeleton suit to carry out a series of repair work.”

After Fang Linyan heard this, he immediately said in surprise,

“What? Engineering exoskeleton suit?”

For Fang Linyan, this was really a new field.

But this sentence made the other three people’s hearts jump suddenly!

Because they had a total of ten sets of engineering exoskeleton suits, but all of them were shady smuggled items!

Fang Linyan’s question happened to ask about the weakest point in their minds.

Fortunately, what Fang Linyan said next made them breathe a sigh of relief,

“Everyone is in the same ship now. If I can help, of course I will do my best.”

“But I don’t seem to have any experience with this device at all. Will this be a problem?”

Jha never expected that Fang Linyan would be so forthright. All the words of persuasion he prepared were useless, so he immediately said,

“No, no, no! This thing is easy to operate. It’s just like using a wrench and a screwdriver. You can master it by just touching it!”

For Jha, as long as he didn’t have to wear the exoskeleton to do the repair himself, he wouldn’t complain about everything else.

Little did he know that for Fang Linyan, seeing this brand-new machine like seeing a peerless beauty.

Even if he had to pay, he would definitely try his best to experience it, not to mention there was a high degree of completion waiting for him if he did it.

But Fang Linyan knew very well the principle of playing hard to get, so he said in a very difficult tone,

“This second engine is related to the life and death of everyone on the ship. I don’t think it’s appropriate for a rookie like me to do it.”

After hearing this, the 3 of them tried hard to persuade. Even Latvis, the old fox, did not hesitate to reveal his trump card, saying that he still had a backup plan.

That was a new banned additive “Pandora” energy crystal.

When the backup engine was about to fail, sprinkling this additive into it could make it last for 10 hours.

However, after using this additive energy, the backup engine would completely blow up when it was exhausted.

So it didn’t matter even if Fang Linyan was a rookie, he could practice for 8 hours. He just had to make sure the repair was done perfectly.

When it came to this, Fang Linyan also knew not to overdo it, so he nodded happily.

Of course, he made a request at the same time, saying that he had offended a gang member before and was afraid that they would attack his friends…

When Latvis heard this, he immediately made a stern announcement to the whole ship:

He announced that Mr. Ruvel, nicknamed Battery, and his friends are honored guests on the ship and have made great contributions to the ship.

Anyone who dares to offend will be treated as an unwelcome guest and forcibly expelled.

After hearing the news, the Blood Team must have been shocked and angry.

Lipper the Vulture had a special regard for Fang Linyan and the others…

***

Time was running out, so Jha brought Fang Linyan to the secret warehouse.

Then he activated a black PE-700 SCI, which was commonly known as engineering exoskeleton suit. It was the backbone of the Federation’s construction and repair missions.

The bottom of the suit had 2 loose tracks, allowing the SCI to adapt to various terrains.

At the same time, this propulsion device could be replaced with a jet device within 10 seconds. In this way, on normal land, SCI could carry out floating operations no more than 3 meters above the ground.

The jet device also ensured that Sci could be used for a long time in gravity-free space.

Its left arm was a multi-functional robotic arm that could switch between welding guns, drill bits, excavation shovels, etc. at any time. Its right arm was a giant steel pliers used to grab various engineering materials.

This thing was originally standard equipment for the military. Under normal circumstances, one must undergo 3 months of training and then obtain the relevant operating certificate before being qualified to operate such high-end equipment.

And most of the civilian suits were PE-500 that had been eliminated by the military and distributed to civilians.

If they were caught smuggling the latest products like PE-700, they would be severely punished.

At this time, Latvis and others were forced to let Fang Linyan control this thing to repair it. Otherwise, Fang Linyan would not be able to try the suit.

A high-end product like this would definitely have the most complete 3D teaching hologram.

After Jack powered on the black PE-700, he first cracked the protection program.

Then an avatar of an officer appeared next to him and started teaching.

Fang Linyan quickly pressed the on/off button of SCI according to the instructions of the teaching hologram.

After successfully powering on, he entered a series of preset passwords to activate the SCI, then he sat in and started the self-test program that lasted more than 10 seconds.

While the self-test program was running, Fang Linyan was not idle. First, he adjusted the height and angle of the seat.

Then he put on the built-in somatosensory gloves. The 372 touch-sensitive adapters inside the gloves could perfectly read the relevant signals.

The seemingly bulky SCI made synchronized movements with Linyan. It was also equipped with air conditioning and music in a very user-friendly way.

It greatly enhanced the driver’s entertainment and comfort while doing boring work.

After the self-test program was completed, Fang Linyan began to control the SCI and effortlessly grabbed the heavy titanium steel alloy plate beside.

Then he started to perform a series of operations based on the teaching. Soon, the dazzling light of argon arc welding began to shine.

After about 10 minutes of controlling the machine, Fang Linyan understood the difficulty of controlling this thing.

That was the interactivity between the somatosensory gloves and the SCI robotic arms.

To put it more intuitively, it was like adjusting the speed of the mouse to the maximum when playing computer games. In this case, most people would feel dizzy.

It even required precise shooting.

In actual operation, if Fang Linyan moved the somatosensory glove by 1mm, the robotic arm would probably move 10cm.

If Fang Linyan’s somatosensory gloves made a mistake during welding, the robotic arm would amplify the mistake dozens of times.

Not only that, when welding later, he would even be in outer space. The surrounding situation was everchanging…

The spaceship was not only flying, but Fang Linyan had to keep parallel to it, which was disturbing enough.

The spaceship may change direction drastically at any time to avoid meteorites.

After the spaceship was hit by a small meteorite, the ship itself might also vibrate.

What was even more terrible was that the spaceship didn’t have to dodge some small meteorites. Once they hit the SCI, his life was in danger.

Under such circumstances, it was no wonder that Jha insisted on letting Fang Linyan do it.

Because he chickened out!

It took more than 2 hours of practice. Fang Linyan requested for some materials in the name of practice for his own benefit.
