Soul Mechanic [Interstellar]

[Assistant Mu vs Captain Chu]

Mu Qiu did not expect that there would be a follow-up to the biscuit incident.

The next day, as soon as he entered the infirmary, Elsa approached him enthusiastically and said, "Qiu, can you go to the workshop in the cafeteria with me? Daddy is very interested in your solar panels! "

Of course Mu Qiu would not refuse, what he was waiting for was such an opportunity - even though it involved a lot of twists and turns, and it might be a waste of time, he was still willing to try.

Counting it, Mu Qiu has been in the Tianlong team for nearly a month, and this is his first time entering the district cafeteria.

The operation room of the cafeteria is only one large room, which is more than 500 square meters, and the height is more than three times that of a normal house.There are more than a dozen large machines against the wall, which are rumbling one after another at this time; various ingredients are piled up in a mess in the fresh-keeping cabinet at the entrance, and boxes of nutritional supplements with different labels are placed on the cooking table.

——Although it is not as clean and quiet as imagined, it is a little more humane.

Elsa's father and his colleagues stood together in groups of three and four, looking with interest at these two young people who were completely out of tune with the environment in the operating room.

"Good morning, everyone." Mu Qiu greeted everyone politely.

Elsa's father is a middle-aged man with thick curly hair, not tall but very strong, with traces of time on his bronzed face.

"Your name is Mu Qiu, right? I'm Ise, and I'm in charge of this workshop for the time being."

Uncle Yiser came up and gave Mu Qiu a big slap enthusiastically. If he hadn't reacted quickly, he would probably have been photographed on the ground.

Mu Qiu was a little embarrassed, and said pleasantly: "Hello, Uncle Yise, I often hear Elsa mentioning you."

"Really? Let me guess...Little Aini must be complaining to you that I like to drink alcohol? Or maybe I like to brag with those old guys! Hahaha..." Mentioned that her daughter Esther couldn't help but let out a hearty laugh .

Mu Qiu touched his nose, and thought: Your guess is really accurate!

Elsa pouted at the side and complained, "Daddy, I've grown up, so I can't be called by my nickname in front of my friends."

"Okay okay, 'Honorable Elsa Wizard', is it okay?" Good dad quickly compromised.

Elsa's pretty face couldn't hold back any longer, and she burst out laughing.

Seeing the warm interaction between father and daughter, Mu Qiu couldn't help smiling.

Uncle Yiser squinted his eyes and looked him up and down, and praised him with a smile: "What a handsome young man! Speaking of which, can you get your solar energy thing here? If it can be done, I don't know if it will How many energy boards are saved!"

Mu Qiu paused for a moment, and said bluntly: "Uncle Yiser, it's actually not difficult to install solar panels, but—"

"Well then!" Uncle Ise interrupted him.

Mu Qiu smiled and explained calmly: "Although the installation steps are simple, the procedures are a bit troublesome. After all, this is a military base. According to the regulations, you must apply to the person in charge here, and you must obtain the consent of the army commander. If there is no relevant approval document I can't change it at will, I hope you can understand."

——You know, the energy board in the canteen operation room alone will involve the interests of many people.

Uncle Yiser scratched his head, and asked in surprise: "Isn't the top person in charge Chu boy? Why, what kind of approval do I need from him?"

Mu Qiu nodded and emphasized: "This is very important."

"That's right, Daddy, you should have told Captain Chu in advance, that's all right now, if he doesn't agree, Qiu's trip will be for nothing." Elsa took her father's arm, half blaming her. Said half coquettishly.

"Oh, I don't know!" Esther scratched his beard, showing a rare expression of apology, "It's okay, I'll tell Boy Chu right now, and he will definitely agree."

After speaking, Uncle Yiser clicked on the terminal and connected to Chu Qingtian's video number.

The other end quickly picked up.

"Uncle Yise, what's the matter?" Chu Qingtian seemed to be quite familiar with Yise, and there was a bit of intimacy in his words.

From Mu Qiu's angle, he couldn't see the projection, but could only hear a clear male voice, which was surprisingly clear and pleasant.

"Boy Chu, little Aini came back yesterday and told me that if our machines are replaced with solar energy, it will save a lot of money. Why don't I ask Mu Xiaozi to come over and do it, but he asked me for your approval ..."

Uncle Yiser talked about things pick and choose, and Chu Qingtian quickly grasped his core meaning.

"Uncle Yise, is Assistant Mu Qiu here?" Chu Qingtian asked calmly.

"Yes!" Esther replied loudly.

"Please let him talk to me." Chu Qingtian's tone unconsciously revealed the determination of the decision maker.

"Okay!" Uncle Yiser responded, and adjusted the virtual screen to Mu Qiu's direction.

Before Mu Qiu could react, an image of a man appeared in front of his eyes—a tall body wrapped in a straight military uniform, his stiff features were as handsome as a knife, and a strong sentinel breath seemed to come through the screen.

At the same time, the fair-skinned and delicate Asian young man also broke into Captain Chu's sight—the video came too suddenly. With obvious astonishment, Mu Qiu's brown eyes flickered as if he was embarrassed to look at the man. In the eyes of the other party, Mu Qiu looked several years younger than his actual age, but looked like a gentle and harmless young boy.

Chu Qingtian raised the corners of his lips, and there was a bit of playfulness in his deep eyes.

Mu Qiu lowered his eyelids subconsciously and coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment.

"Hello, Captain Mu." Chu Qingtian was very natural, with a clear smile in his clear voice.

Maybe it was because of the military uniform, although Chu Qingtian still had that casual look, it gave people a sense of oppression that was hard to resist.

Mu Qiu stood up straight unconsciously, adjusted himself to the state of reporting to the instructor, and calmly replied: "Hello, Captain Chu."

Chu Qingtian turned the stylus in his hand, and said slowly: "I don't want to waste time, Captain, please state your thoughts to me in the most concise language."

With such an arrogant attitude, Mu Qiu really wanted to turn off the video, turn around and leave.

Of course, he didn't do that, but said as concisely as possible: "Tianlong 3 has abundant solar energy resources. If we use solar energy to replace energy panels according to local conditions, it will undoubtedly save a lot of military expenses."

Chu Qingtian raised his eyebrows, "Success rate?"

"One hundred percent." Mu Qiu didn't hesitate.

Chu Qingtian evoked an ambiguous smile, "Assistant Mu, you are very confident."

Mu Qiu pursed her lips, and replied in a cold voice: "You may not know that before becoming Elsa's assistant, I used to be a mechanic. Of course, I still am now."

Chu Qingtian raised his eyebrows, not knowing much about being the culprit, "If it were really as simple as what you said, the Rhine family would have gone bankrupt long ago."

The Rhine Group is the largest manufacturer of energy plates in the Federation. Of course, Mu Qiu heard the irony in Chu Qingtian’s words, but he ignored it—the quality of being a professional mechanic requires him to seize every opportunity instead of being impulsive .

Therefore, Mu Qiu suppressed the annoyance in his heart, and explained as calmly as possible: "The reason why the energy board is expensive is not because of the lack of energy in the Federation. On the contrary, energy is everywhere in the era of the big universe. The technical requirements are quite high, which is why the energy plates are so expensive."

Chu Qingtian raised his eyebrows, signaling him to continue.

"If there is relatively sufficient natural energy in a certain place, then the non-mobile energy-consuming equipment in the place does not actually need energy storage devices as an intermediary, such as the assembly line machines in the cafeteria operation room of the Tianlong 3 star military region."

Chu Qingtian squinted his eyes and remained silent for a moment, then said lightly, "Okay, let's do it."

Mu Qiu was stunned for a moment, and looked at the man on the screen with a complicated expression.

The stunned look of the young man greatly pleased the man, Chu Qingtian raised the corners of his lips, and with a smile reaching his eyes, he repeated in a good mood: "I agree, Mr. Mechanic."

Mu Qiu was speechless. He agreed to such a big matter so easily?Is there really no need to report to Shangfeng?Where did he get his confidence!

Meeting such an officer who doesn't play cards according to common sense, it's simply...unspeakable.

-

Anyway, since Chu Qingtian has spoken, Mu Qiu doesn't have to worry about the rest, he only needs to focus on the assembly and replacement of solar equipment.

This always prudent young man was almost trembling with excitement the moment he got the working pliers, as if magical magic had been applied, and the blood belonging to a mechanic revived in his body.

As the chief student of the military academy, Mu Qiu's professional quality is absolutely excellent, not to mention that his major happens to be in the field of power and new energy, so the energy supply transformation of the operation room is not difficult for him.

It took only half a month for this work from preliminary design, material preparation to post-installation and commissioning, and the final result is close to perfection.

Iser blushed with joy, "These guys look really cool, Mu boy did a good job!" The bushy beard trembled with the laughter, which was very interesting.

"Of course, Qiu is the most powerful mechanic in the Military Academy?" Elsa held her neck high, looking proud.

"Mechanic?" Uncle Yiser was full of surprise. "Don't the Military Academy teach students to machine armor and win battles? There is also a class that teaches people to repair and repair?"

Mu Qiu smiled awkwardly, and simply gave up explaining—the problem of professional unpopularity has been with him for five years, and it seems that it will continue in the future.

Speaking of which, the profession of a mechanic is rarely known in the Federation, and many departments do not have a dedicated post for a mechanic.

Take the Tianlong team as an example, it seems unbelievable to say that there is no professionally trained mechanic among the thousands of service members, but it is indeed true, and this situation is very common in the federal army. universal.

Most people have always had a misunderstanding about mechanics. They think that the job of mechanics is to repair machines and replace parts, and the most powerful thing is to do spacecraft maintenance.

These tasks can be done part-time by other staff members, and there is no need to set up special positions at all. Naturally, no one is willing to spend a lot of time and energy on learning.

Therefore, the mechanic profession is becoming more and more unpopular in the federation.

However, only those who have devoted themselves to research can realize that this industry is actually promising.

Mu Qiu will never forget his original intention of choosing this major—to build the best spaceship and save his missing parents—this goal has never wavered until now.
