Chapter 83 Finding faults (third update)

The size of the ultrasonic flaw detector is not very large, but there is really no such thing in the general-sized repair shop.

In the final analysis, the lives of people in the wasteland are not valuable. If the parts are broken, just replace them. What's the big deal about hidden dangers?

There has been no cold wave in the recent period, and the pressure on the repairmen has been much less.

Among the adventurers from other places, there are also repairmen who have taken on some repair work.

This woman has always suspected that Qu Jianlei is asking for too much, but she has never found the right person.

Yesterday she finally found a repairman in the city, the one wearing an oily sleeve.

This person heard that someone had detected the main shaft hidden danger of the Cleaner Type III, so he asked what ultrasonic flaw detector was used.

Flaw detectors are not cheap to begin with, and the higher the level, the more expensive it is.

The strong man and the woman recalled for a long time and described the various tools at that time - it didn't seem to be particularly professional.

The mechanic was angry. Originally, they were enemies in the same field. Who could tolerate a half-baked guy opening his mouth in front of his own door?

So early this morning, he went to the door to question him.

When Qu Jianlei heard him say this, he looked at him suspiciously. This kind of foreign negotiation was usually handled by Hua Xiezi.

However, she didn't understand mechanical maintenance.

So Qu Jianlei refused very straightforwardly, "None of your business!"

The man wearing the sleeves turned black, "Then you are suspected of fraud. Do you know what this crime is?"

Suspected of fraud... Qu Jianlei glanced at Spencer and simply spit out one word, "Get lost!"

This old liar who was swindling porcelain, I don't know how many people he has cheated, and you don't care, now he is telling me about fraud?

The mechanic's face sank, "Do you believe me? I will report it to the city... Have you considered the consequences?"

"Forget it," Cindy couldn't help it. She was very familiar with this kind of thing, "You want to report it without evidence. Is the settlement opened by your family?"

The mechanic glanced at her, with an indescribable weirdness in his eyes.

"Don't," Spencer was anxious and couldn't help shouting. He was really familiar with these things.

"Old driver, he can count as evidence as long as he gets a good spindle!"

"This is fucking..." Cindy wanted to curse, "Zhouliu settlement, are all such a bunch of people?"

Qu Jianlei looked at the maintenance engineer, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and slowly asked, "As a maintenance engineer, can you do such a dirty thing?"

There is a kind of morality, called industry morality, for example, financial personnel cannot tamper with money, otherwise it will ruin their career.

The same is true for maintenance engineers. Corruption or robbery are not considered felonies, and they can continue to do their jobs after being released from prison.

But if you tamper with your profession, your reputation will be ruined, and you can't do it anymore.

The man with the greasy sleeves blushed when he heard this - those who eat technical meals are generally more face-saving.

Because of work reasons, he knows some social people, and he is also hesitant whether to frame the other party. This is not difficult to do.

But if he really does this, he will discredit his profession.

So he hesitated and answered, "If you can't prove that you are not a liar, then don't blame me for being rude!"

A dangerous light flashed in the eyes of the flower scorpion, "Are you threatening us by asking us to prove our innocence?"

Spencer added leisurely, "It's just that colleagues are jealous of each other... It's not easy to do formal business."

He is doing something unconventional, and there is competition among colleagues, but everyone is afraid of being exposed, and most of the time they emphasize cooperation.

Another middle-aged man couldn't help it, and coughed lightly, "I have no intention of framing, I just want to verify the truth."

Cindy said coldly, "What identity are you using to verify the truth?"

The man replied in a deep voice, "My name is Geng Shougong, and I am responsible for the management and certification of the repairmen in the entire settlement."

The repair shop is a self-contained system, and it is not so easy to open.

There are all kinds of people in the wild camps, not to mention those small shops. The repair shops at the supply stations must have certified repairmen.

This is not just for the sake of customers, but mainly for this system, and the settlement must be in hand.

For people like Qu Jianlei who don't open a shop and take orders sporadically at home, no one can control it. It's just a matter of one willing to fight and the other willing to be beaten.

Geng Shougong's words also show that the other party came here not with a determined mind to ruin the place, but really thought he had encountered a scammer.

But when it comes to this link, it is Cindy's strong point, "How many A-level repairmen are there in Zhouliu?"

"Madam, you are kidding," Geng Shougong replied seriously, "All the A-level ones are in the main settlement."

He said proudly, "There are a total of five B-level ones in Zhouliu, two of which are certified by me!"

B-level repairmen are really amazing, and there will be no more than three in a general settlement.

Cindy remembers clearly that when her late husband was alive, there were only two B-level repairmen in the entire Zhousan settlement.

One of them was so old that he was about to die, but even so, he was worshipped by everyone.

She looked at the man in the sleeves thoughtfully, "This B-level... is it certified by you?"

"He is only C-level," Geng Shougong replied calmly, "But it has been many years, and it is only a matter of time before he becomes B-level."

These words are very reasonable, but Cindy shook her head, "A mere C-level is not qualified to question my boss."

"I am Class B," Geng Shougong pointed to himself and spoke seriously, "I was certified at the main settlement... Do I need to see the certificate?"

He could feel that the other party was not only difficult to mess with, but also not a wild person. Of course, he had to pay attention to the rules.

The books Qu Jianlei read were actually not without purpose. The Zhouliu settlement area could really be called "fairly orderly".

But the premise is that you must have similar strength to have the qualifications to reason with Zhou Liu.

Those guys who can trick even Spencer have no right to talk about order.

Cindy raised her chin and said unceremoniously, "Then please show me."

Geng Shougong took out a card and shook it, "Is it okay?"

"Wait a minute," Cindy yelled, "How come the chain under Class B...has become a dark pattern?"

"Expert!" Geng Shougong gave a thumbs up, "I just changed my certificate the year before last year, just in time for me to go back to Zhouzi headquarters."

Cindy nodded towards Qu Jianlei, "Boss, there should be no problem with your identity."

"It's really annoying," Qu Jianlei couldn't help but mutter, "I don't rely on this business to make a living."

"Wait a minute," Geng Shougong said, "Friend, if you can prove your strength, I can introduce you to a big job!"

When Qu Jianlei heard this, he was really moved. He didn't need a small amount of money, but the mutant crystal... was too expensive.

And there is a saying on Blue Star - He who makes many friends will make few enemies.

But after thinking about it, he asked again, "Are there any benefits that can be obtained immediately?"

Geng Shougong was also stunned for a moment before he asked, "Have you read any publications on maintenance engineers?"

publication? Qu Jianlei's heart suddenly trembled. There are actually publications in the wasteland now?

Fortunately, he always wears a scarf on his face, so he doesn't worry about others seeing through it.

So he asked, "What type of publication are you talking about... materials, power, electronic control, sensing, or integrated detection, attack and defense?"

"Expert!" Geng Shougong gave a thumbs up calmly, but his heart was filled with turmoil.

Anyone who does maintenance knows that equipment is composed of various systems and components. It is not surprising to know this.

But if you think that there are publications on these details, then if you are not crazy, you are exposed to a very high level!

Even an A-level maintenance engineer may not be able to access such news.

Geng Shougong himself has never come across similar detailed publications, but he knows very well that there is such a thing!

So what the other party said shows that he really has a background.

"I'm not an expert," Qu Jianlei shook his head. I just experienced the era of information explosion.

He really came into contact with many related publications on Blue Star, and there were too many subdivided fields. He said this is not bragging.

Then he asked, very bluntly, "What can you show me?"

This question is a bit philistine, but he is really not afraid to ask it - want to tell me what to do? Please come up with something real.

"I only have comprehensive ones," Geng Shougong felt a little embarrassed, "Subdivided items... are not very convenient for the time being."

The maintenance man wearing oil-stained sleeves was shocked, "Sir, are there really subdivisions?"

"Shut up!" Geng Shougong glared at him impatiently. If it weren't for you, would I be so embarrassed?

The strong man and the woman were stunned for a long time... We are complaining about someone.

Geng Shougong smiled at Qu Jianlei, "I happen to have a journal with me. Can you take a look at it?"

Qu Jianlei didn't do anything, he just looked at the other person - just talking, is it interesting?

Geng Shougong took out a book from his arms and handed it to Spencer next to him.

Qu Jianlei took it from the old liar and turned it over twice. It was really...something.

He came into contact with many scientific journals on Blue Star, and this was the first time he came into contact with scientific journals from the wasteland.

Moreover, the text here is the fourth type of text, and there are many professional terms. He has never been exposed to it before, so he really doesn't understand it.

However, it is undeniable that the civilization in the wasteland before the end of the world was really awesome.

Even though it has declined now, some ideas are still far superior to Blue Star. This is unacceptable.

After a few cursory glances, he had a clear understanding that this journal was really good and could not be bought on the market.

Just as he was thinking about what to say, he felt a sudden pain in his head.

Somehow, he could feel that Xiaohu, the artificial intelligence, seemed to want to include this journal.

However, it’s normal. Who can resist the temptation of “the first time”?

So he nodded slightly, "Okay, although this journal... forget it, I can give you a reasonable explanation."

"Sure enough, there is no sonic flaw detector?" Geng Shougong was immediately overjoyed. This time it really happened!

"I will record the entire process of your explanation, and finally...can you sign to confirm it?"

"Signing...please wait a moment for this," Qu Jianlei's eyes looked a little strange, "What process do you plan to record?"

——————

Chapter 84: Thirsty for talents (fourth update)

Geng Shougong was stunned when he heard Qu Jianlei's question, "I plan to record the explanation process... didn't I agree?"

"I never said I wanted to explain it to you," Qu Jianlei replied sternly, "I just said I can give you an explanation!"

To explain and... give an explanation, Geng Shougong thought for a while and asked, "Is there any difference between the two?"

These two are not the same thing at all, okay? Qu Jianlei felt a little helpless.

"Do you think I should explain to you that without a flaw detector... how can we find the hidden dangers of the spindle?"

"Isn't it this?" Geng Shougong was getting more and more confused, "Without an explanation, how can you verify it?"

"Oh, right, just need a verification," Qu Jianlei waved his hand, "Just bring a dozen spindles here."

"I'll help you detect those with hidden dangers and those without hidden dangers... Is that enough?"

The maintenance technician wearing the greasy sleeves couldn't help it, "What about the inspection process?"

"Don't ask about the process, I'll only give you the results," Qu Jianlei didn't even look at him, "There are so many people who want to be my apprentice... Are you qualified?"

"Hurry up and bring the spindles here, we're in a hurry to go out hunting."

The group exchanged glances in confusion, and finally turned around and left.

About half an hour later, several people came with three spindles.

After putting down the spindles, everyone else left, leaving Geng Shougong alone.

This reaction was quite interesting, so Qu Jianlei did not avoid him anymore.

He looked around the three main shafts, touched them one by one, and knocked them.

Geng Shougong kept staring at them, frowning: Just test like this?

After Qu Jianlei turned around, he looked up and said, "Three main shafts...just scrap them."

"Huh?" Geng Shougong pointed to one of them, "Is there a problem with this one too?"

"There are hidden dangers," Qu Jianlei answered very straightforwardly, "There are sand holes in it, and there are quite a few of them. It should be an unqualified product."

"Sand holes..." Geng Shougong was stunned. He originally thought that this main shaft was good.

In fact, in the eyes of the wastelanders, parts with sand holes are not a big problem.

This is how a society with scarce materials is. It is okay to use it barely. Sand holes will only reduce the strength and durability of the parts.

Of course, if it is found to be "shoddy goods", it will naturally not be sold anymore.

But the next moment, his astonishment was replaced by stronger curiosity.

He couldn't help it, so he asked, "Can you tell me how you detected it?"

Qu Jianlei looked at him sideways and found that in addition to curiosity, the other person's eyes were clear.

He looked for four or five seconds, and finally sighed and asked helplessly, "What is the principle of the ultrasonic flaw detector?"

"Of course it is based on the reflection of the echo..." Geng Shougong answered subconsciously, and then he was stunned.

"Yes, it's the echo," Qu Jianlei asked naturally, "Didn't you notice that I knocked on the spindle one by one?"

Geng Shougong did consider this, but this possibility... made him really unacceptable.

Even if he got the other party's confirmation, he couldn't help but say, "Isn't this a bit too fake?"

Qu Jianlei didn't mind the other party's offense, because he knew very well that his answer was a bit incredible.

He just said calmly, "Just because you can't do it doesn't mean that others can't do it."

You obviously haven't heard the story of the eighth-level fitter... There is even a legend of the eighth-level plus.

Geng Shougong was stunned for a long time before he nodded slightly in disbelief, "So, what's the problem with the other two spindles?"

"Anyway, they are scrapped, why ask so many questions?" Qu Jianlei didn't intend to satisfy his curiosity.

It was enough to show a little bit of skill. To survive in the wasteland, it was very necessary to hide one's shortcomings moderately.

But his attitude was not too bad, "You can confirm it by going back to check if there are sand holes in this spindle."

"I will definitely check this," Geng Shougong nodded without hesitation.

"It's not that I don't believe you, but this kind of thing is too incredible. The craftsmanship of the spindle... How could there be sand holes?"

"Yes," Qu Jianlei nodded in agreement, "I am also very curious. I knocked it more during the inspection."

Once a technical geek talks about technology, it is easy to get caught up in it.

However, Geng Shougong still has some official identities. He asked casually, "Have you ever been certified as a repairman?"

He wanted to confirm whether this person only had this skill or was also strong in other aspects.

Qu Jianlei did not answer directly, but asked in return, "Why do you need certification?"

"Why not certify?" Geng Shougong was successfully led astray, "Isn't it good to have a job that guarantees income regardless of drought or flood?"

Qu Jianlei replied indifferently, "I don't like the kind of life that can be seen at a glance."

This view is a bit similar to the rebellious girl Claire, but he does not like a mediocre and uneventful life.

Geng Shougong was defeated by this answer. It must be admitted that some people are really unwilling to be ordinary.

Then there is no need to continue this topic, "If there is a difficult maintenance job in the future, are you willing to take it?"

"It depends on the situation," Qu Jianlei replied lightly, "Actually, I don't lack this little money."

Small money... Geng Shougong continued to be speechless. He earned four hundred silver dollars in less than two days. You call this small money?

He could feel that the other party was indeed not short of money. The equipment and layout in the yard had already proved this point.

But, should he be so arrogant? "Can you hand-polish a qualified engine?"

Qu Jianlei thought for a moment, then nodded slightly, "For an engine that is not too difficult, there shouldn't be any problem."

"But I'm not interested in this. It's a waste of time. There's no need to make a living from it."

No interest... Geng Shougong was speechless again, but through this answer, he basically judged the other party's maintenance level.

Just for this skill, it's no problem to get a C-level maintenance technician certification.

If there are no obvious shortcomings in other aspects, it shouldn't be difficult to get a B-level certification.

Such a mechanical maintenance expert, how can he be so uninterested in his specialty?

Geng Shougong wanted to force this guy into the settlement to stop him from doing his job.

But on second thought, if this guy really took this path, he would be certified as A-level sooner or later, and Zhou Liu... wouldn't be able to stay.

For him, discovering an A-level maintenance technician is an achievement, but improving the local maintenance level and prospering the market is also a credit.

So he no longer entangled this point, but there is still a problem.

He had to think of a way to increase the other party's interest in maintenance and not waste his skills.

Geng Shougong thought for a moment and said, "You seem to be very interested in mechanical journals?"

"Yes," Qu Jianlei nodded, he did not hide this point, "It is always good to have many skills."

"I can provide you with journals," Geng Shougong stared into his eyes and spoke slowly.

"In exchange, you have to help Zhou Liu repair equipment three times a year when the time is convenient... at a reasonable price."

Emphasizing "convenient time" and "reasonable price", it is very sincere, right?

"Forget it," Qu Jianlei shook his head very straightforwardly, "I don't like any constraints... I can spend money to buy journals."

"Can this be bought with money?" Geng Shougong was angry and amused, "My conditions are already very loose."

Qu Jianlei continued to shake his head, "I don't know if I will continue to stay in Zhou Liu after the spring."

"Once I agree to your request, I must do it. This will affect my future plans."

Geng Shougong was silent. I forgot that this person is still a foreigner.

But people who value promises so much can't be bad, right?

In fact, Qu Jianlei was lying. Cindy and her daughter had already applied for the identity of the settlement. If nothing unexpected happened, he would live in Zhouliu.

However, agreeing to help the other party with the repairs would be somewhat constrained, and more importantly, his presence would become very high-profile.

Geng Shougong thought about it and asked tentatively, "Help you get the identity of Zhouliu?"

"What do I need that thing for?" Qu Jianlei asked disapprovingly, "I said I don't want a dull life."

It's true! Geng Shougong tried to make a final effort, "Mechanical maintenance actually has great potential!"

Qu Jianlei continued to shake his head, "That's just your potential, not mine!"

Geng Shougong rolled his eyes and asked tentatively, "Then I'll rent it to you, one silver dollar per book?"

"Thank you very much," Qu Jianlei answered without hesitation, "When it's convenient, I will help with the repairs for a fee."

He didn't think the price was outrageous. Strictly speaking, this thing is priceless.

Geng Shougong grinned, "How many books should I get you first?"

He was in charge of mechanical maintenance and had control over the relevant resources. The settlement had more than a thousand books and journals on this subject.

"The more the better," Qu Jianlei answered without hesitation. In this regard, he was really willing to spend money.

Apart from his nature as a tech geek, he still had to survive and practice after his revenge, so it was important to master the skills of making money.

Geng Shougong asked calmly, "Then... two thousand books?"

Qu Jianlei was obviously stunned. He really didn't expect that there were so many books related to the Sixth Universe.

The next moment, he simply nodded, "Okay."

When he left the Three Universes, his silver notes were less than two thousand. Fortunately, he didn't spend much money on the road and made a small profit.

It was the same after he came to the Sixth Universe. Although the expenses were not small, the four hundred silver dollars still helped him recover.

Now he can get almost two thousand silver dollars by tightening his belt.

If it's really not enough, he can use energy blocks to make up for it - and even make a profit from the price difference.

Seriously, this kind of opportunity is too rare, and it is worth emptying your pocket for it.

Geng Shougong saw the other party was stunned, and he was laughing in his heart.

After hearing this answer, he was also stunned: No way, is this guy so rich?
