Star Wars: The Silver Pledge

Huang Siwan came to the workbench, and gasped at the first glance: "Old Chen, you are really not afraid of death, and you messed around with avant-garde materials. Can't you be honest for two days? Really want to be Chen Shiwan ah?"

Chen Sanwan smiled like a martyr: "As a mechanical engineer, designing and manufacturing is an instinct like breathing. I didn't get on the boss's boat for an honest vacation."

Speaking of this, Chen Sanwan is not lacking in emotion: "It's a pity that the mechanical repair and manufacturing work on this ship is basically covered by the boss. I am a dignified senior engineer, and I am like a holographic mascot on this ship. I can only see but not move." .”

"Are you the only one with a mascot?" Huang Siwan taunted, and leaned over to touch the robotic arm.

Chen Sanwan said angrily, "Don't touch it with dirty hands!"

"Then I will report it."

Chen Sanwan immediately softened: "Old Huang, you can read it as you like, and if you have any opinions and suggestions, please feel free to let me know."

Huang Siwan withdrew his hand when he heard the words, leaned on the workbench and observed for a long time, and asked, "Old Chen, I have nothing to criticize about your craftsmanship. You are indeed a master who can cooperate with the boss. I just have one question. "

Chen Sanwan was shocked: "Say it."

"What is the use of this mechanical arm you have carefully built?"

Xiao En also nodded when he heard the words. He sat in front of the workbench and studied for so long, and the biggest problem in his mind was this: Although this mechanical arm is exquisite and has complicated functions, it seems that none of the functions is necessary.

For example, 7 kinds of special can openers integrated between five fingers, 3 sets of self-washing tableware, 2 sets of dental utensils, a complete set of refillable compressed bath cosmetics, and two novel chips with permanent memory solidification.

Chen Sanwan said straightforwardly: "I didn't become a mechanic for the sake of being useful. Isn't this mechanical arm beautiful? Isn't it artistic? Isn't it clever? In comparison, what is practicality!?"

"No wonder you are so good at craftsmanship, but you were picked up by the boss to be Chen Sanwan." Huang Siwan didn't care that he was laughing at fifty steps, and after putting down the mechanical arm, he began to look at Xiao En again.

After a long while, he said, "Sean, isn't he a local? Don't worry, unless you are willing to tell, the people on the boat will not inquire about each other's backgrounds, but you can't hide the appearance of a foreigner on your face." People. So do you want to come to our side? My group are all outsiders, and we may have a common language.”

Sean doesn't care about his belongings. Isn't it the same where he works and pays back money?

Huang Siwan said: "Following Chen Sanwan's laser brain, I am afraid that you will grow from Xiao Wanwan to Xiao Wanwan. The backbone of the core engineering department of Beihe Freight, with an annual salary of two million plus company stocks, will be reduced to No. 1 in Baiyin." A smoking gun, heavily in debt, you are wondering if you can stay in this place? Our side is different, I have come all the way from Huang Shiwan to today..."

Chen Sanwan said coldly: "After five years of walking this way, the average annual income is 12,000 Qiankun coins. Your side is really a treasure land of geomantic omen."

Huang Siwan said angrily: "It's not your turn to laugh at my fifty steps with these ten thousand steps!"

Xiao En pointed directly at the core and asked, "How do I pay off the debt on the ship?"

Huang Siwan raised his eyebrows: "The boss didn't tell you? If there are detailed standards, wait a moment and I will find them for you."

After a while, Huang Siwan pulled out a "Salary List" from the tablet computer on his waist, and saw a detailed list of various jobs on the screen: piloting a spaceship to participate in battles, collecting minerals from the asteroid belt, sorting out business documents, Peeling raw potatoes in the spacecraft kitchen...the job content is everything, and they all strictly correspond to the remuneration.

As long as you follow the list, you will gradually reduce your debt, the only problem is...

Huang Siwan sighed: "The boss is a meticulous person, do you understand?"

Sean nodded. The remuneration figures on this list are really extremely detailed. Leaving aside the fully automated work of peeling raw potato skins, even if you become the main pilot of the spaceship to participate in the battle, if it is only a low-intensity battle, the single reward will not exceed 500 Qiankun coins.

This price is about the same as the after-tax daily salary of ordinary white-collar workers in the Qiankun Group.

Chen Sanwan seriously explained: "After all, this is not a large enterprise. We say it is a vigorous civilian mercenary group, but it is not fundamentally different from the pirates of the 'Suzaku'. The distribution of wealth in the galaxy In the system, at most they are predators at the bottom, so it is impossible to be particularly rich. The boss himself has set an example in this regard, and all his wealth is obtained according to this list, so there is no problem of exploitation. "

Sean thought for a moment and expressed his understanding.

Huang Siwan smiled when he heard the words: "But although the list treats everyone equally, there are still rich and poor in the team. Some people can cut their debts by more than half in just a few years, and some people have a lot of skills. But still struggling on the poverty line..."

The repetition of this story made Chen Sanwan furious: "Old Huang, you have never finished!? Xiao En was assigned to me by the boss. If you are not convinced, you can go to the boss to complain!"

"What is assigned to you? It's just assigned to your room. Why do you take it upon yourself to treat him as your subordinate? After returning to the base, he will probably be reassigned. This kid..."

Speaking of this, Huang Siwan suddenly stopped.

Chen Sanwan's eyes widened, angrily waiting for him to spit the ivory from the dog's mouth.

"Old Chen, tell me, does the boss want to put him in the Red Apricot Squad?"

Chen Sanwan's widened eyes showed a tendency to expand again: "Squad Red Apricot!?"

Huang Siwan seriously analyzed: "The boss is a meticulous person, with a clear distinction between public and private, and never ambiguous in business affairs, right?"

"This is nonsense."

"In order to save this kid, we did waste time, wasted materials, and turned against Suzaku and the others. These are losses and costs, right?"

Chen Sanwan glanced at Xiao En, and seeing the latter's indifferent attitude, he nodded, "That's right."

"Our team, and even this spaceship, are not the boss's private property, so the losses caused by his willful actions cannot be paid by the team. But do you think he will repay the debts for the newcomers? There has never been such a precedent, right? Then Sean How are we going to repay this million-dollar debt? I admit that he does have potential, but no matter how potential he has, following your laser-brain-built robotic arm will only lead to Xiao Wan’s abyss step by step.”

It was rare for Chen Sanwan not to retort angrily, but thoughtfully: "According to what you said, it seems to make sense."

Huang Siwan said: "Among all our teams, the one with the highest income and the best treatment is the Red Apricot Squad. To get Xiao Wanwan out of poverty as soon as possible, of course we must send him to the place with the highest income."

"Squad Red Apricot." Chen Sanwan rubbed his chin, "How powerful is this kid? Running to that team with millions of dollars in debt, it's a bad debt if you're not careful."

Huang Siwan was a little uncertain: "If you can be hunted down by hundreds of people and be safe, it shouldn't be a bad debt, right?"

Chen Sanwan glanced at him: "You will find out when you go to fight the Hongxing team once."

The two chatted on their own, completely leaving the protagonist aside. Sean continued to study the functional modules in the robotic arm while listening.

Regardless of whether the mechanical arm is useful or not, this Chen Sanwan's mechanical technology is really brilliant, and the structural design of stuffing the entire hammock into the mechanical arm is enough for him to study for a while.

As for the Hongxing team? Sean doesn't mind taking on a higher workload if he has the opportunity to pay off the debt as soon as possible.

And he had a hunch that there, he would get important clues.

——

With boundless enthusiasm for work, Sean welcomed six batches of spectators like Huang Siwan in just two hours.

From the conversation between Chen Sanwan and them, it is not difficult to infer that the Silver Knights rarely accept newcomers, and there are only a handful of precedents for this kind of temporary recruiting on the battlefield. Out of trust in Li Yu, people did not question the joining of this young rookie, but curiosity was inevitable.

Sean is like a rare animal, welcoming batch after batch of audiences.

But while being watched, Sean is also watching the crew.

First of all, most of the crew members were very kind. They didn't act arrogant and rude just because Sean was a young rookie. Instead, they kindly sent various small gifts.

On the contrary, Sean was flattered and overwhelmed-he had no chance to prepare to return the salute.

Secondly, most of these friendly crew members are unusually powerful. Any one of them can be called elite by most of the criteria. This point has actually been confirmed long ago. When Sean and Li Yu were talking in the cargo hold, dozens of people hid outside the cabin to eavesdrop, but Sean didn't realize it at the time.

In the end, these crew members had a feeling of reverence for Li Yu that was almost worshipful. Although there were a lot of jokes when they mentioned it, the Jedi apprentices could hear their sincerity. For this knight leader, everyone has the awareness that even if they die for him, they are willing to die.

This spaceship, this knight order, and this entire organization made Sean feel refreshed.

It's hard to imagine that this is a team that mixed in with the pirates and attacked the manor. Compared with those blind people who burned, killed and looted blindly, they were so clear to the sky. So this made Sean wonder what the hell they were doing on that asteroid?

The other pirates wanted to rob everything in the manor, except for the silver spaceship, which was quietly floating in the wilderness.

Unfortunately, this question was not answered until the spacecraft arrived at the temporary base.

Lao Chen, who was in the same cabin, was an enthusiastic person. While discussing mechanical technology with Sean, he also introduced many things about the "Silver Knights" to Sean, but he kept secret about the attack on the manor.

"Generally speaking, when the boss picks up someone temporarily, he will personally explain the situation to the newcomer. For example, when I was dragged onto the boat, the boss told me that my patent income was not only embezzled by the original boss, but even for the sake of security. They also framed me, forcing me to have nowhere to go."

"And he was willing to pull me on board because he happened to be entrusted by a victim similar to me. In that case, you were valued by the boss and pulled on the boat, but the boss didn't even tell you the action plan. It should be that he has no comment. meaning."

"The boss has already stated his position. Of course, we as subordinates can't do it for us. And the most important point is, I don't know what the purpose of this action is. The boss didn't tell us the purpose from the very beginning. It was only for us every day. Individuals lay out the steps to implement it. We are like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, and only a few people know the whole picture."

The mystery Chen Sanwan said made Xiao En more interested in this matter, but he also knew very well that he needed to be patient with secrets that should not be explored blindly. It's like studying calculus before you are proficient in the four arithmetic operations, it is nothing more than a waste of time.

The organization itself is undoubtedly more interesting than the organization's course of action.

The name of the Silver Knights was of course Li Yu's nonsense, but even nonsense is absolutely binding. From the moment he said it, the Silver Knights became the official name of the organization.

Until Li Yu's next nonsense.

In fact, this organization does not have a strict name, at least after Li Yu took over the organization, he deliberately downplayed the sense of seriousness and ceremony of the organization. Today, the entire organization revolves around Li Yu alone, becoming an extension of his personal will. He wants the organization to be the Silver Knights, and the organization is the Silver Knights, and if he gets stuck in his head and wants to organize it into a maid café, the organization will become the Silver Maid Cafe.

Strangely, however, this unquestioned dictatorship did not form an extreme organization.

Li Yu has the supreme ruling power of the organization, but has no ownership. Everyone's wealth accumulation, including himself, must be obtained through labor through that job salary list. The excess is the public property of the organization and cannot be used for private use.

Although this distribution system, including the salary list, was formulated by Li Yu alone, and the definition of public property and private use was also explained by Li Yu alone, this wealth distribution system is still functioning well today.

In addition, everyone in the organization has the right to leave freely, and even has the right to challenge Li Yulai to become the next leader of the organization—as long as they can bear the weight of this power.

Such a unique style of dictatorship but freedom is entirely dependent on the strength of Li Yu alone, so it is no wonder that the crew pays homage to Li Yu. Sean has never seen such a strange person in the Milky Way for several years.

So, what is the purpose of this strange man running the organization?

"Honestly, I don't know either." Chen Sanwan said, "Sometimes it feels like the boss is simply a scavenger, picking up all kinds of people who can't get along in other places, such as you and me. It is typical. But sometimes, the boss will not hesitate to use us as thermal grenades and throw them at the enemy. If there is a chance, I will take you to visit the cemetery of the organization, it is very spectacular."

"Sometimes, the organization is like a chaebol who cares about everything. Everything is for the accumulation of wealth—not the boss's personal wealth, but the organization's wealth. The boss is a delicate person. When he takes orders, he never regards the organization as cheap labor. We are also well-known in the dry galaxy, and many tasks are expensive. But on the other hand, as you can see, each of us is cheap labor, including the boss himself."

"So, I really want to understand this organization and use this organization—don't deny it too quickly. Most of the people picked up by the boss want something from the organization. We don't reject such newcomers, but at least you must fully understand it first. This organization. What I can introduce is relatively limited, you should go and witness it with your own eyes."

After a long talk with Chen Sanwan, the Silver finally ended its short space travel and landed in a temporary base also located in the asteroid belt.

This base is quite simple, just use engineering ships to hollow out a giant meteorite, and stuff the necessary lifting and maintenance facilities into it.

But this base is simple but useful, as long as it is hidden in the fine asteroid belt, there will be no trace of its existence from the outside. The only regret is that in order to ensure concealment, the internal space is very limited. When Silver landed, because a spaceship was already docked in the hangar, it almost caused a collision accident.

It was a gray olive-shaped spaceship, which was a bit bigger than the Silver, with a thick belly and few weapons, which meant that it was an out-and-out cargo ship. But Sean didn't find a chance to observe more details, so he was sent to work.

The Silver was only briefly docked in the base for half a day. During this period, some crew members were summoned by Li Yu to help in the base with a communicator, while the rest stayed inside the ship for maintenance operations.

Sean just got his first job: to cooperate with Chen Sanwan to do machine repair and maintenance.

The work is not difficult. Although the model is unfamiliar, but with a skilled worker leading the way, the whole process is more like a simple study for Sean. After a complete operation process, Sean feels that his understanding of spaceship design has deepened.

The only shortcoming is that the salary is very limited, and the value of half a day's work is only 100 Qiankun coins, which happens to be able to order a glass of bad wine in the bar that confronted Xia Yan earlier.

"The rewards for newcomers are the same, so don't be discouraged." Chen Sanwan comforted Xiao En with a smile, "My reward is only 300 Qiankun coins. Of course, 300 Qiankun coins are enough on this boat. If Hongxing If the team is uncomfortable, come back and find me. With your qualifications, you can replace me in a short time. But you are different from me. You are still young and an outsider. I am afraid that you will not be willing to take this poor money. Ha ha."

Xiao En nodded his thanks for Chen Sanwan's comfort, but he was thinking about the gray olive-shaped cargo ship in his heart.

Not surprisingly, that ship should be the employer of the Silver.

The reason why Silver appeared outside Nan's villa with a group of pirates was obviously entrusted by someone. Judging from the pile of boxes in the cargo hold, they were probably looking for something.

Something of great value.

In fact, the various components in the box that Sean opened are already worth a lot, but Li Yu just watched Sean sleep with those components as a mattress, not caring about the loss at all.

Obviously, that box of components was just an addition to Li Yu's eyes, and it didn't matter at all.

And this made Xiao En even more curious, what exactly did Li Yu get?

In other words, what is the secret treasure hidden in that villa manor? Xia Yan deliberately put the master and apprentice under house arrest in that manor, does it have anything to do with the secret treasure?

Master stayed there alone, did he find any clues?

Countless chaotic thoughts churned endlessly in Sean's mind, but there was no clear clue to connect them together.

Sean has been thinking about the spaceship's departure again, but still has nothing, and just when his heart is itching, the next stop that belongs to him is just around the corner.
