Star Ocean: Starting From the Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 56 Professional Maintenance Engineer

Chen Ming almost wanted to choose yes at this moment.

But before doing so, Chen Ming still controlled this thought.

The reason is also very simple.

Although there should be no limit on the number of times to change the spaceship connected to the brain control signal, it may consume mental energy to change the connected spaceship.

Chen Ming is still in the repair factory and still working. Most of the things Chen Ming does through the panel require mental energy.

To try the new functions of his ability, at least he has to wait until he is free.

But having said that, Chen Ming's thoughts in his mind are growing uncontrollably.

From the moment he saw the prompt that he could change the connection, Chen Ming has thought of many ways to get benefits from other people's spaceships with the help of the panel.

There is even the idea of ​​driving away other people's spaceships directly through the connection.

It's a pity that if he wants to go directly to the dock to contact other people's spaceships, it will be a bit difficult.

The dock is full of strict surveillance. If Chen Ming touches someone else's spaceship and then the other person's spaceship runs away inexplicably, everyone will inevitably doubt him.

Although Chen Ming could also choose to remotely control the spacecraft to remove the engine and life support system when the ship left the space station, so that people would freeze to death or starve to death in space.

But Chen Ming did not want to use this method on those who were completely unfamiliar to him and had no idea of ​​the situation.

Chen Ming was not sure which people in the dock were really vicious pirates and which people came to the space station only for some forced reasons.

Chen Ming's conscience would be a bit hard to get away with just picking a ship to cheat others.

At least he had to make sure that the owner of the ship was really a bad person before Chen Ming could do it with confidence.

For example, the current owner of the ship he was repairing.

Chen Ming cheated without blinking.

In addition to controlling other people's spaceships, the second sentence in Chen Ming's mind [Currently connected spaceships: 1/1] also attracted his attention.

This should be the limitation of his mental power, but it is also the direction he can develop in the future.

Chen Ming knew very well what advantages a spaceship that could be completely controlled by himself had, and the three frigates that sank in the dark cemetery were the best evidence.

Then more spaceships naturally mean that Chen Ming can do more things.

Chen Ming firmly believes that there is a way to increase this number.

Because as he used the panel more and more in the past six months, especially when he was on Raymu.

Chen Ming can clearly feel that the consumption of his mental power is increasing.

At the beginning, Chen Ming felt obviously tired just by repairing two machine guns.

Later, Chen Ming could even modify the heavy armor at the bottom of the spacecraft in the morning and fight with the mechanical tribe.

He was still repairing weapons and damaged armor in the middle, and finally even repaired an electromagnetic javelin removed from the fighting mechanical tribe.

All this happened within a day. If Chen Ming had just received the panel at the beginning, he would definitely not be able to resist it.

This can clearly prove that Chen Ming's mental power is growing.

As long as Chen Ming continues to consume mental power through the panel and exercise to make his mental power exceed a certain limit, then the number above will definitely become 1/2.

In fact, Chen Ming also thought of another possible way to increase mental power.

Psychics, they influence the spirit and thinking according to rumors, so they must be able to exercise these aspects of themselves.

But this is really too far from Chen Ming's current life circle.

But Chen Ming thinks that he can wait until he is familiar with Lao Wu or the boss and knows whether they are trustworthy.

Try to use the whispering stone hidden in his engine compartment as an excuse to ask them if they have any news related to psychics.

After all, Chen Ming is still not sure whether his ability to control the spacecraft through the panel is a kind of psychic ability.

If you talk about psychics with others for no reason, it is like you are trying to cover up your true intentions.

Although the whispering stone is a good reason, its value makes it impossible for Chen Ming to simply say it before he can trust others.

So in this regard, Chen Ming can only take his time.

Just as Chen Ming was thinking divergently,

The sound of a wrench hitting metal came from inside the spacecraft along with the urging of the bald repairman: "Hey, what are you doing?"

"I'm coming."

Chen Ming responded, temporarily suppressing all kinds of thoughts in his heart.

Entering the spacecraft, he cooperated with the bald repairman to complete the delicate repair tasks inside the spacecraft.

When leaving the spacecraft, the bald man stared at Chen Ming for a few times, and there seemed to be doubt in his eyes.

But he didn't say anything, just called Chen Ming to continue to the next spacecraft to be repaired.

He and Chen Ming needed to handle the internal repairs of all the spacecrafts first, and then control the large-scale repair equipment in the repair factory to carry out the remaining external armor repair tasks.

Although Chen Ming's body was following the bald man, his mind was full of the two sentences that just appeared in his mind.

Although it is quite unreliable to go directly to the dock to touch other people's spaceships in front of a lot of surveillance cameras.

But it is different in the repair shop. Although there are surveillance cameras in the repair shop, Chen Ming can touch the spaceships that need repairs as he wants.

As long as someone dares to drive the ship controlled by Chen Ming out alone, then this ship is equivalent to Chen Ming's.

Everything on the ship is naturally included, and among them is the hyperspace channel system that Chen Ming needs most now.

In fact, Chen Ming had the idea of ​​dismantling the hyperspace channel systems on other ships in the space station for his own use half a year ago.

But there were two reasons why Chen Ming did not do so at that time.

One is that the damage of several spaceships parked in the dock was very serious.

The Iron Ore, which Chen Ming chose, which looked the most complete in appearance, lacked a hyperspace channel system, and the others could not be guaranteed.

So Chen Ming did not think much about those ships before he gathered enough food for the voyage.

The second reason is the bugs in the space station.

When Chen Ming returned to the space station for the first time, if he had spare time, he would definitely go to the other two spaceships to take a look.

But the perception ability of the bugs is too exaggerated. Chen Ming just killed a larva hatched from the eggs, and all the bugs in the entire space station came to chase him.

If you run a little slower, you may become food for the bugs, and there is no chance to get close to the spaceship.

When Chen Ming went back for the second time, cysts with long-range attack capabilities had already appeared among the bugs in the space station.

There is a high probability that there is no hyperspace channel system on those damaged spaceships, and Chen Ming cannot take the great risk to confirm it.

However, Chen Ming has also considered using mining lasers to cut off part of the dock to disconnect the dock from the space station, so that he can go to confirm whether there is a hyperspace channel system on the spaceship.

But although the space station is not big, it is also compared with other space stations.

If you really want to cut the dock, the fuel consumed will be not small.

Moreover, the ships docked in the docks are visibly fragile, and if you are not careful when cutting, the ships may be completely destroyed.

Low benefits, high costs, and difficult to achieve.

Chen Ming would never do such a thing.

If it is put into the present, why not use the panel, which is a more relaxed way to stably obtain other people's hyperspace channel systems?

Even without the help of the panel, as long as Chen Ming can join the repair shop, it should not be difficult to get a damaged hyperspace channel system back.

After a few repairs, it will be a brand new hyperspace channel system adapted to the Iron Ore.

If it really doesn't work, then Chen Ming has two alternative plans.

Buy the materials yourself, or buy the finished product directly.

Which of these methods is not better than taking the risk to search for a few abandoned ships?

In short, Chen Ming does not regret his original decision.

Assuming that he really got the hyperspace channel system at the time, it means that it will take less than half a year to get to the pirate space station.

At the same time, it also means that he will not have more than one million goods, and his maintenance technology will definitely not be as advanced as it is now.

Calculate the gains and losses to know what kind of decision is correct.

However, at present, the matter of controlling the spacecraft to obtain the hyperspace channel system will have to wait a little longer.

Chen Ming needs to wait for a suitable opportunity, and this opportunity should not be too long.

Chen Ming refocused his attention on the work at hand.

In the strange eyes of the bald man, it didn't take long to help him repair the second spacecraft.

When entering the third ship that needed repair, Chen Ming suddenly asked: "I heard that the repair shop usually has bad business. Why are there so many ships to be repaired today?"

The bald repairman was obviously very happy to have someone chat with him while working, and immediately said: "A fleet has done a big job, and these ships that need to be repaired in a few days are their spoils of war."

"Do they use these ships themselves?"

"How is that possible? After repairing, they will definitely use them for other people under their command. Pirates are not short of people who are not afraid of death."

Chen Ming nodded, and continued to chat with the bald man about pirates, trying to find out more information, and also completed the repair of the second spaceship.

However, when getting off the spaceship, the bald man suddenly said to Chen Ming with some hesitation: "You..."

Chen Ming turned his head and looked at him, but the bald man seemed to have given up his idea and said: "Forget it... It's okay."

Chen Ming knew the reason very well.

No matter what, he was a repairman under the Xinda Company, responsible for the long-term and regular maintenance of a high-value mining space station.

Even when in frozen hibernation, the company will pay a considerable salary, at least compared to other positions.

If the technology he mastered was not even better than that of the repairman of the pirate space station in the marginal star field, Chen Ming might as well hit his head against the outer wall of the space station.

Although his mind was occupied by those two sentences just now, his hands were not unfamiliar at all.

Many tasks that only needed to be assisted by the bald repairman were completed by Chen Ming alone.

It would be strange if the bald repairman didn't feel it.

In the maintenance of the third spaceship, the bald man obviously paid more attention to Chen Ming, unconsciously letting Chen Ming, the assistant, do more work than he did.

So when the internal maintenance of the third spaceship was completed, the bald repairman took Chen Ming to the door of the fourth spaceship to be repaired.

He did not go in directly, but looked at Chen Ming beside him with a tangled face, and asked tentatively: "How about you come?"

"Okay."

Chen Ming's performance just now was waiting for this moment.

It happened that he had almost considered the things he should consider now, and all his thoughts could be focused on the maintenance work.

Chen Ming just did as he remembered, commanding the bald maintenance engineer as his assistant to start the maintenance work of the remaining spacecraft.

A few hours later, it was almost lunchtime.

The factory director took Lao Wu back to the spacecraft maintenance area of ​​the maintenance plant.

He found the bald maintenance engineer who was sorting out the tools and asked, "How much have you not finished?"

The bald man said with a bit of confusion in his eyes, "It's done, all of it."

"So fast? How long has it been? Haven't you had lunch yet? Wait, all of it? It was supposed to be done tomorrow?"

The bald man looked at Chen Ming who was observing the repaired spacecraft not far away and said, "It's all done. Today is efficient."

The factory director followed the bald man's gaze and his eyes were locked on Chen Ming.

He was very clear about the abilities of his eight employees, and absolutely none of them could complete all the tasks in one day.

And the factory director also knew that the bald man would not lie about work.

Since he said that all the maintenance tasks had been completed, there was only one possibility.

Chen Ming and the bald man finished the work that should have taken two days in less than half a day.

The factory manager's first reaction when he thought of this possibility was to disbelieve it, but the facts seemed to be in front of him.

But he still decided to confirm it himself.

"Give me the equipment, I'll go up and inspect it."

The bald man took off his equipment obediently and handed it to the factory manager.

At this time, Old Wu also came over with great interest and said, "Then I'll go up and take a look."

He followed the eyes of the bald man and the factory manager and saw the problem.

Old Wu was also full of curiosity about Chen Ming.

The two quickly entered the sixth spaceship, which was the last one in the scheduled plan.

In fact, when they approached, the factory manager had to admit that the maintenance of the spaceship was indeed completed in this half day.

Because the external armor of several spaceships on the task list had been repaired very completely.

And the acceptance of the interior of the spaceship did not take much time.

So after confirming that there was no problem with the internal repair of the sixth spaceship, the factory manager directly called up the recorder of the auxiliary mobile equipment on his body.

Started to check the full video of the maintenance process.

Although the view was from the bald head, he was basically watching Chen Ming's operation throughout the whole process.

So the video just happened to let the factory director see Chen Ming's extremely professional maintenance techniques and terrifyingly skilled operation techniques.

The factory director even felt that the skills of all the maintenance technicians in the entire space station were significantly different from Chen Ming.

At this time, the factory director finally couldn't help but asked Lao Wu beside him: "Is this person your friend? Where did he come from? Can you invite him in?"

"I see that he has a good relationship with you. He knows that you skipped work and helped you take over. You should be able to invite him, right?"

Old Wu also looked a little dazed, subconsciously touched his head and said: "Friends are friends, but there is no need to invite. He just talked to me yesterday and said that he wanted to join our maintenance plant."

"Ah?"
