Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 564 - 447 Mecha Quick Repair

The instruments were certainly not handheld; they were mounted on huge remotely controlled mechanical arms.

Mechas required regular and frequent maintenance to utilize their combat capabilities, yet the instruments for servicing these mechas needed a complete production industrial line as support.

Every detail in the background was the accumulation of the city over hundreds of years; even for an individual, ample logistical support was the true foundation to exert combat power.

Aspiring to act independently of resources and social connections to establish one’s force seemed somewhat unrealistic in this world...

Watching the gigantic mechanical arms flying up and down before him, Bai E gained a deeper understanding of the underlying rules of this world.

He would need to pay much more attention to this if he wanted to build his own force in the future!

Silver-grey mechanical lights tumbled in his eyes, and Bai E, who was multitasking, didn’t miss a single word spoken by Master Hou.

"When the fault light is on, it’s already a very serious situation. Often times, a loose armor plate or a missing screw can become the core reason for the downfall of an armed mecha," said Master Hou.

"Seals like this rubber ring and rubber strip also need constant attention and should be replaced according to the technical manual regularly. Actually, once you do it often, you’ll gradually become familiar with the areas that commonly have potential risks." Master Hou paused with a serious tone. "Of course... you must never become negligent because of familiarity. Those corners that don’t usually have problems can also become fatal weaknesses during critical moments. We always conduct technical analysis after each battle; if problems arise due to poor maintenance... heads will roll."

The military district had extremely stringent requirements for these mecha servitors, who, despite their technical skills and low status, had to always be on edge.

Most mecha servitors were artificial humans, and the majority of artificial humans who arrived at the armored battalion would be assigned to the mecha servitors, as obedient artificial humans made the best technicians.

Of course, a few natural persons with mechanical aptitude were also stuffed into this role, like Master Hou. They often became the core of the entire hangar.

They were well-compensated, but the demands were equally strict.

Mecha servitor was an absolutely, absolutely faultless position.

Meticulousness, patience, and efficiency were the absolute requirements for every technician.

"At the same time, the newly replaced modules also need to be tested a certain number of times to ensure their stability. Any part produced by a lathe has tolerances, and even a 0.1% performance difference in a critical moment or critical component can have vastly different outcomes. Additionally, you need to know what is normal to identify what is abnormal. Otherwise, even if you see those risks, you won’t know there’s a problem. Like here... this armor plate should be smooth and seamless, but now..."

Bai E listened intently, feeling the satisfaction as knowledge was gradually stuffed into his brain.

[The learning progress of "Knowledge—Mecha Maintenance" has reached the minimum requirement; teaching mode activated.]

[Teaching: You have understood quite a bit about the basic knowledge of mecha maintenance. Hands-on attempts and guidance from your seniors will be very beneficial. You can pay a certain price (combat experience/general experience) to correct your mistakes and learn from the experience your mentor provides during guidance to complete your understanding of mecha maintenance. (Cost: 20 points of experience/min)]

Well then... it’s time to begin.

"Master Hou..." Bai suddenly spoke up. "Can I give it a try?"

Master Hou, who was controlling the mechanical arms through a panel, was slightly taken aback, and looked at Bai E with a questioning gaze. "You want to try?"

How long had it been since the lesson started?

Normally, a mecha servitor would have to watch for a few days before they could gradually attempt to take over.

"Let’s just try it; I need to get my hands on it to verify right from wrong, right?" said Bai E with a smile.

"That’s true..."

But it still felt too soon.

Master Hou hesitated for a moment but then nodded, "Okay."

After all, it was Bai E, and his joining the mecha servitor team was surely only temporary.

One couldn’t defy the will of such a person; if he wanted to try, then let him have a try.

Realizing one’s limitations was more conducive to future teaching.

Making way, Bai took over.

He operated the mechanical arm to different positions, switching between various inspection tools, and using methods such as sonar and probes to check for any possible issues within the mecha’s insides.

Even if some tentative risks were detected, the instruments wouldn’t trigger an alarm. Those potential issues that had not yet caused damage were beyond the machine’s ability to discern.

The whole process required the operator’s own meticulous observation.

Master Hou stood to the side, arms crossed, silent.

This first attempt would be the perfect test of Bai’s capabilities.

Any mistakes made during the process could be pointed out after completion, providing sufficient room for reflection and retention.

He had already decided that even the slightest error would be addressed afterward.

It was understandable to have shortcomings during the first try.
