My sampan can be upgraded

The few old people were okay and had seen a lot of the world, but the four young people were not convinced enough. They jumped on the corridor and shouted in the distance, as if they were afraid that no one would know that they had reached the highest point.

"We came here to play once a few days ago, but we didn't know that this was actually your spaceship, Brother Qi! If Grandpa Li hadn't said that, we would still be in the dark. Brother Qi, you have to open a room for us for free and let us experience it." Late, I want the most expensive villa!"

Cui Xingran wrinkled his nose and said to Ling Qi.

Ling Qi smiled and said: "No problem, you can live wherever you like!"

At this time, the white-faced old man started talking about business: "We have never paid attention to who took the mission. Today, when your teacher talked about it, we found out that you took the mission to the Universe Sea. I can only say that your spirit is commendable. The engineer is The logistics echelon is a key protected group in the fleet, so you must not leave the main force without authorization."

Ling Qi was moved by the old man's concern and said, "Don't worry, I won't make fun of my own life!"

"Cosmic Sea?" The four young people's eyes lit up.

Before they could ask to follow, the hook-nosed old man scolded: "Don't be ridiculous, the cosmic sea is dangerous and unpredictable, and it's not a place for you to play!"

The eyes of the four people suddenly dimmed.

Ling Qi glanced at them with a smile. They were really immature children. They were playing under the care of their elders and didn't know where their future would be!

Looking beyond the edge of Lingxiao City and looking at the streets in the distance, those people at the bottom who are working multiple jobs to make a living, their grandfathers, or their grandfathers' grandfathers, were once as carefree as these four people, right? Nowadays, the high-end paradise-like Lingxiao is open to the public free of charge and provides meals. Although it is right next to them, they have no time and are unwilling to spend time and credits to board the aircraft to have a meal...

"Brother Seven, Brother Seven?" Cui Xingran waved his little hand in front of Ling Qi: "What are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking about those people at the bottom. If their ancestors had been as hard-working as them, wouldn't they have fallen into the current situation?" Ling Qi said casually with his eyes retracted.

The four old men suddenly fell silent. Cui Xingran didn't listen to Ling Qi's words at all, and said with a smile: "I have good news for you, what's the reward?"

Ling Qi met her expectant eyes, his heart moved, and he said, "What do you want? Modified speedboat?"

"Yeah, brother Qi, you are so smart, you guessed right, hehe!" Cui Xingran nodded quickly like a chicken pecking at rice.

Ling Qi smiled and agreed. It was nothing difficult to guess. She was drooling when she saw her speedboat when we parted last time. The value of the modified speedboat was far inferior to that of her aircraft, but she took a fancy to the appearance of the modified speedboat.

"Yeah, you keep what you say. Hehe, let me tell you, that guy named Maxton was arrested two days ago. A woman accused him of indecent assault and provided evidence. Although he insisted that it was consensual and that it was a woman. They blackmailed him afterwards, but he couldn't prove his statement. I heard that according to the branch's system, he might be revoked from the official status of the Star Gate. Do you think this is good news? "

Ling Qi raised the corners of her mouth and showed an inexplicable smile: "It is indeed good news. Wait, I will give you the speedboat in a minute!"

Li Buer paid suspicious attention to Ling Qi's expression. He subconsciously felt that Ling Qi was related to this matter, which was a bit unbelievable.

…

There are still five days left before departure, and the living environment inside the maintenance spacecraft has been decorated by a group of female soldiers. Although it is still not as good as the previous Xiantian, it is still very comfortable, and their luggage and belongings are basically all. Transferred.

Ling Qi didn't need to prepare anything. The maintenance spacecraft had a variety of complete repair tools, maintenance robots, and commonly used consumable materials. These are all in reserve. The mission information mentioned that the large army will prepare living supplies and maintenance supplies, so he does not need to worry about them.

Also that evening, Ling Qi received a notice asking him to attend a mobilization meeting in the branch's headquarters.

Ling Qi drove the maintenance spaceship to the main city quickly, parked the spaceship outside the city, and then drove the speedboat into the central square of the city. There is a two-kilometer-long building here, which is the branch building. After parking the speedboat in the square, Ling Qi entered the building and reached the top floor. Inside was a large conference room that could seat 40,000 people.

At this time, the venue was packed with people, and more than half of the people had already entered the venue. Ling Qi easily found his position among tens of thousands of seats according to the seat distribution map and intelligent guidance projected by the communicator.

The area around his seat was almost full of people, mostly old and middle-aged looking, with a few young people. Most of these people were talking in low voices, and some of them were obviously familiar to each other. Some people looked around quietly, or closed their eyes to relax.

Ling Qi sat down in his seat. To his left was a short middle-aged man with a mustache, a shrewd light flashing in his eyes, and he was talking in a low voice to the old man on the other side. On the right, there is a middle-aged woman who is studying some information on her personal communicator with concentration.

Ling Qi was only slightly surprised and did not disturb her rashly. There are actually many female technical workers in Stargate, and there are quite a few around him.

The area he was in was located in the middle, and he speculated that it should belong to the maintenance engineer area. The people in the front area looked like technicians with different styles. They should be professionals in other fields such as resource exploration. The people around them have a relatively consistent style. Even when they are sitting, they have a tall and straight posture. The movers are capable and move like the wind. They are mainly young and middle-aged people, and there are also many women among them. They are obviously soldiers in the combat system.

Even in the mobilization meeting, people in the technical field are protected in the middle. This is a kind of awareness that is implemented at all times. Ling Qi felt a little moved in his heart. He suddenly felt that it was actually quite good to be in a force like Star Gate. Invisibly, he had some sense of belonging. It was no longer as if he was just planning to use Star Gate's official identity at the beginning. .

There were still twenty minutes left before the scheduled time, and the front half of the venue was almost full. The lights in the back half were turned off, which made Ling Qi understand that there must be so many people.

There were about 20,000 soldiers around, looking solemn and sitting upright. There were about 3,000 technicians whispering in the middle. Ling Qi took a quick scan and found no sign of Qu Shaocheng's group. They probably joined the team when they were about to set off.

"Hello?"

Ling Qi heard the female engineer on the right speaking, turned around and saw her looking at him with a smile in her eyes.

"Hello!" Knowing that she was greeting him, Ling Qi nodded in response.

"Are you an apprentice who follows the teacher? Or an engineer who takes part in the operation on his own?" The female engineer may have been surprised by Ling Qi's age, so she asked.

Ling Qi smiled and said: "I am the latter! What about you?"

The smile in the female engineer's eyes grew wider: "Do you think I look like an apprentice?"

"Haha!" Ling Qi couldn't help but laugh.

The female engineer stretched out her hand: "I am Dong Ni, the sixth-level engineer of the spacecraft maintenance system. Please give me your advice!"

"I am Ling Qi, a first-level engineer in the Star Gate Maintenance System. Let's learn from each other!"

"..." Dong Ni froze, then burst out laughing: "You really know how to joke!"
