Mecha and Knife

At midnight, the sky outside the base was still bright, but it was already dark inside the base, and the lights in many places had become dim. Some are getting ready to go to bed.

This kind of work and rest habit that is completely inconsistent with the sunrise and the sun is also one of the reasons why everyone on the alien planet is under great pressure. The day of the alien star is actually 24 hours, 37 minutes and 22.6 seconds, so every once in a while Time will appear in this black and white situation.

The mechanics in the mech area can be said to be one of the last sleepers in the base. After having dinner at 8 o'clock, they worked overtime for about four hours before returning to their respective residences to wash and sleep. , and then appeared in the mecha area on time at eight o'clock the next morning. From the perspective of sleep time, it is not enough, because it takes at least an hour to wash up after get off work at twelve o'clock, wash up before going to work the next morning, and eat breakfast.

The daily sleep time is less than seven hours, and high-intensity mecha maintenance is required. It is difficult for anyone to survive the time calculated in months, but many of them have persisted for several years. Master Liu is one of the best. He has been in Yixing for ten years.

After temporarily finishing work, Master Liu did not leave today, but waited beside Ji Xinghe for a while before making a sound.

"Old Ji, it's time to go to rest, it's already twelve o'clock."

Ji Xinghe, who had just finished repairing the fifth board today, was about to pick up the sixth board at this time. Master Liu didn't know that he had repaired this board because he hadn't done the inspection. Not only this one, all the boards that Ji Xinghe repaired tonight have not been tested, only the second one was tested for the first repair, and the result was that the test failed. So in Master Liu's view, Ji Xinghe didn't make any substantial progress tonight.

"Is it already twelve o'clock?"

Only then did Ji Xinghe realize that the time passed so quickly, he hesitated looking at the remaining boards and said, "Can I work an extra two hours? Don't worry, I won't delay my work time tomorrow morning."

Master Liu, who didn't know that Ji Xinghe only needs to sleep for four or five hours a day, was angry: "Old Ji, I didn't mean you, what are you doing so stubbornly, okay, so what if I make you work overtime for two hours?" ?Even if you successfully repaired a board, what’s the point? It’s two o’clock in two hours, and the earliest time you go back to wash and rest is half past two. If you want to come here at eight o’clock tomorrow morning, the last You have to get up at seven twenty in the evening, tell me, how long can you sleep for?"

"Four hours and fifty minutes." Ji Xinghe said seriously: "Enough."

"That's enough..." Master Liu couldn't say that fart after all, he sighed and said: "Old Ji, if you are like this, I will take back all the commissions I gave you, and I can guarantee , all the operation areas here will not be entrusted to you. Even if Second Lieutenant Shen Mu can entrust you, how much can he give you? You may not be able to repair a board for six hours a night, why not repair a car? .If your body breaks down, I can't bear it."

The people in the operation section 109 were planning to leave. They were really tired, but they stayed because of Master Liu and Ji Xinghe. The people in the nearby operation area finally couldn't hold back their curiosity and came to watch. When they went to the cafeteria to eat at night, they had already heard that a peerless master had come to the base, and he was an eighth-level fitter. Only the robotic arm can repair the board. If it wasn't for the arduous maintenance tasks, they should have come to watch Ji Xinghe before.

Hearing Master Liu's words at this moment, they all frowned. From their point of view, the old man Ji Xinghe was a dead duck. He didn't have that ability and wanted to stay in the mecha area as a mechanic mechanic, regardless of his own health and other things. people's work plan.

Ji Xinghe finally understood the reason of Master Liu's anger. He didn't argue, but put the first board he repaired on the testing instrument in front of everyone, set the program and started testing.

With a ding, the green light on the testing instrument lights up, which means the test has passed. If the detection fails, there will be a beep and then the red light will be on.

Master Liu was stunned for a moment, but this was just the beginning. Ji Xinghe also put the second board on it, and started the inspection after setting the inspection program according to the model and location of the standard mecha to which this board belonged.

Ding!

Ding!

Ding!

Ding!

Five sounds before and after, which means that in the four hours tonight, Ji Xinghe has repaired five boards. This speed is nothing compared to the mechanical arm. The mechanical arm can do it within one minute. Complete the repair of a board, complete sanding and re-engraving a full set of textures in three to four minutes.

But compared to the manual repair speed of all the mechanics in the mecha area... Judging from the dumbfounded expressions of everyone around at this moment, it is enough to explain everything. However, what Ji Xinghe needs is not the shock of the people around him, or shouting something terrifying. He just does everything he can do within his ability, and only needs to continue when he still has physical and energy. Work.

"Master Liu, I can work overtime for two hours. I can guarantee to repair two boards. If it goes well, it will be three." Ji Xinghe hesitated for a while before continuing: "I don't need to count overtime pay. Just give me the contribution points I deserve for repairing a board."

"Ah? This..."

Master Liu didn't know what to say. He felt that his face was a little hot now. He didn't need to be reminded by others or look in the mirror. He knew that his face was already red.

"What's the matter? Lao Ji, are you okay?"

Shen Mu rushed over yelling, squeezed through the crowd, stood in front of Ji Xinghe, looked around and rolled up his sleeves.

"What are you doing, what are you going to do? Why are you looking at Lao Ji with such weird eyes, and rushing at me for something."

Su He next to him was sleepy at first, but at this moment he grabbed Shen Mu's shoulder and dragged him aside: "There's nothing wrong, don't make trouble, besides, what if Lao Ji needs you?"

Shen Mu's strength is stronger than Su He's. After all, it is considered physical work if a mechanic is doing it, but because of Su He's words and the sudden memory of Ji Xinghe's force level, he was pulled away by Su He as if he was drifting with the tide.

"I'm sorry, old Ji, I misunderstood you. Tell me, why didn't you test it after it was repaired? I just saw a record of a test failure." The embarrassing and excited Master Liu finally came to his senses: "Old Ji, you are too good, isn't it less than four hours? Five boards, and these two boards have been re-polished, right? If I didn't know that these are broken, I thought You missed it."

The other people in 109 were also excited, as were the mechanics in the other operating areas. Their hearts changed from disgust and confusion to shock and admiration, and they expressed their inner admiration with words.

However, Ji Xinghe didn't want to hear a word of these words, he didn't need other people's admiration, and he didn't think that he, who could only repair boards now, was worthy of other people's admiration.

"Stop, all of you stop." Ji Xinghe explained seriously after the surroundings quieted down: "When I was in Azure Star, from the fifth grade of elementary school until now, I only needed four or five hours of sleep every day. My body I know it, so let me work an extra two hours, is that okay?"

But the more he said that, the more shocked the people around him were.

The person in charge of the No. 107 operation area exclaimed: "May I ask, how old are you this year? How old are you in the fifth grade of elementary school?"

Before Ji Xinghe answered, Shen Mu couldn't wait to speak out.

"Lao Ji is sixty-five years old this year, and he is 11 years old in the fifth grade of primary school. You don't need to count, I have done the calculations. A total of 54 years, according to the average sleep time of eight hours per day, Lao Ji only needs 4.5 hours of sleep Calculated, Lao Ji has 68,985 hours more study, work, and martial arts than us, which is equivalent to nearly eight years of non-stop work. So Lao Ji is an eighth-level fitter, so Lao Ji is a peerless master, so Lao Ji is 65 years old You can still come here, so you should be more sensible, believe that Lao Ji will be done, Lao Ji knows it well."

People around continued to be shocked and remained silent, but Shen Mu still didn't say a word: Lao Ji still needs to take good care of his granddaughter, so he won't ignore his own health.
