"Shangguan Fengliu?" Suddenly, a voice called her name. Shangguan Fengliu turned around and saw a man crawling out from under an abandoned mecha.
The man was very young, about thirty years old. He was smoking a big cigar, and the thick smoke was very pungent. The button on his shirt was only buttoned in the middle, and the rolled up sleeve had the mark of a D-rank military rank. He was holding a rusty wrench in one hand.
" You are…" Shangguan Fengliu asked in confusion.
"My name is Wei Xiu. From today onwards, I will be your instructor. As for what to learn, it depends on my mood…but I still hope you can perform well.”Wei Xiu finished his sentence straightforwardly, leaving behind a surprised Zhuge Fengliu as he burrowed into the bottom of a mech that looked like it had been scrapped. He saw Shangguan Fengliu's shocked expression.
"What's wrong? Do you have any questions?”Wei Xiu suddenly stuck his head out and asked.
"No…no. " I just want to ask, why didn't I see any other students…" Shangguan Feng Liu raised a question.
"This is a very good question. Listen carefully, you are the only student in the maintenance department. It is an honor, right? In the future, the entire maintenance department will be represented by you. " Work hard…" Wei Xiu said as he dismantled the mecha's parts.
" No…It can't be…" Shangguan Fengliu finally managed to squeeze out a sentence.
"Is there a third person here besides you and me?”Wei Xiu asked as he smoked his cigar.
"I don't think so." Shangguan Fengliu looked around. The entire maintenance department was empty.
"That's right. Just accept your fate. I don't know what's wrong with Reese. He suddenly asked you to come to the maintenance department.”Wei Xiu teased.
"Why? Could it be that no one wanted to enter the maintenance department?”Shangguan Fengliu was puzzled.
"How much do you know about mechas?" Wei Xiu suddenly turned around and wiped his black hands on his body. He continued to smoke his cigar and looked at Shangguan Feng Liu.
Shangguan Fengliu shook his head. Although his profession was maintenance, it was only maintenance of some electrical appliances. With his background, it was naturally impossible for him to repair any mecha.
"Looks like I'll have to give you a good lesson today. "Wei Xiu said seriously.
"What class?"
" I'll let you understand why there are only the two of us here…" Wei Xiu patted Shangguan Feng Liu's shoulder and said.
"Follow me." Wei Xiu gestured and then walked into the depths of the pile of trash.
Shangguan Fengliu followed after him.
" This is the support axis of the armor. It's like a human spine, and the support axis of every piece of armor must be tailored to the user's body shape…" Wei Xiu said to Shangguan Feng Liu as he walked and picked up a flexible metal component.
"Don't look down on this short metal tube. Once the support axis loses its elasticity, the entire mecha will fall apart and be scrapped.”Wei Xiu said.
"Can't you just change another one?" Shangguan Fengliu asked in confusion.
"Didn't I just say that the support shaft of each piece of armor is tailor-made? Therefore, the size of the various components that assemble the support shaft are also different. If he changed the support axis, it would be equivalent to changing the entire armor. It would be better to make a new one, which would save more time and effort. Moreover, the time spent on repairing a strong armor was more than three times that of producing a strong armor. Who would want to repair a strong armor? They could just buy one. Anyway, there were many rich nobles in the academy. To them, money was like trash here.”Wei Xiu used an analogy.
"Even if we don't use it in the academy, we can still use it outside, right?”Shangguan Fengliu was still puzzled.
"You're referring to a professional mecha mechanic, right? That's right, it would be a different story if it was a professional repairman.”Wei Xiu nodded in surprise, but then said,"However, in order to become a professional mechanic, you must have a complete understanding of mecha, including all kinds of confidential mecha. Of course, the prerequisite was that you had to come into contact with these mechas.”
"Normal professional mechanics are secretly trained by the government and the mecha manufacturing organizations. Moreover, the number of them is very small. Simply put, it takes at least ten years to train a professional mechanic, not counting the various expenses involved.”
Shangguan Fengliu was stunned. She never thought that a seemingly simple mecha maintenance would have such a complicated background.
"So, do you understand now? Don't have any extravagant hopes when you come in here. It's fine. It's not bad to bask in the sun and take a nap.”After Wei Xiu threw the support shaft to Shangguan Feng Liu, he walked out.
Shangguan Fengliu only felt that the top of her head was dark, and the bright path of "money" was once again bleak.
After Shangguan Fengliu walked out of the garbage dump dejectedly, he saw Wei Xiu suddenly wave at him.
"Oh right, I almost forgot to tell you. There was a necessary course in the maintenance department, and it was a good learning opportunity.”Wei Xiu shouted.
"Really?" When Shangguan Fengliu heard this, she thought that she finally had a chance to learn, so she would just let it be.
"As for you, first sort out the newly transported trash over there and sort it out. I'll leave this glorious task to you.”Wei Xiu entrusted him with a heavy responsibility and prepared to turn around and leave.
"Wait, did I hear wrongly? You want me to tidy up the trash?”Shangguan Fengliu was stunned.
"That's right, this is a compulsory course for the maintenance department. Otherwise, if you don't even understand the basic components of a mecha, how are you going to repair a mecha in the future? "Stop talking nonsense and go quickly…" Wei Xiu urged and then left.
" I don't want to…" Shangguan Fengliu was so angry that he almost blurted it out. But then, he thought about it and realized that he had finally gotten into Imperial College. There was no reason for him to give up just like that. There were plenty of opportunities anyway, so he might as well just endure for now.
In the end, Shangguan Fengliu had no choice but to sort out the pile of junk mecha parts.
Following that, Shangguan Fengliu moved her head joints, then her hand joints, and then her foot joints, making creaking sounds, as if she was going to do something big.
" I'm coming…" Shangguan Fengliu shouted and rushed to the dump that was piled up like a mountain.
As the sun set, Shangguan Fengliu was still sorting out the garbage parts she had collected. From time to time, she would hit her sore back and mutter something.
" One day, I won't be picking up trash, but a pile of gold, silver, and jewelry…That's right, I'll just treat these as gold, silver, and jewelry now…" Shangguan Feng Liu comforted herself as she continued to work hard.
"Feng Liu, have you completed the task I gave you?”Wei Xiu swaggered back. Seeing that Shangguan Feng Liu was still sorting, he thought that Shangguan Feng Liu had just started and didn't know how to sort them properly. However, when he got closer, he realized that all the garbage parts were sorted according to some kind of rule. After taking a closer look, he actually revealed a meaningful smile.
"Feng Liu, that's all for today. Go back and rest first." Wei Xiu suddenly said.
"Really? This is great. My waist is almost crippled.”Shangguan Feng Liu stood up and stretched her body, complaining.
"I told you to go back, but you still talk so much nonsense. Otherwise, you can continue to classify them and go back after you're done.”Wei Xiu smiled evilly.
Shangguan Fengliu's expression changed, and she even forgot to greet him. She flew out of the maintenance department.
" This kid, he actually judged the degree of damage and the possibility of repairing these parts just by visual inspection. Looks like he's quite talented…" Wei Xiu said as he looked at a portion of the trash parts that had already been sorted.
"However, no matter how good the metal is, it still needs to be trained properly before it can take shape. It seems that I won't be too idle during this period of time.”Wei Xiu stretched his back and casually found a place to sleep.
