Chapter 228: Repair Work Begins

The consciousness eraser is a scientific item, and apart from being a bit expensive, it has no other drawbacks.

It requires 500,000 points.

A-grade Hellblade only requires ten million points.

Fortunately, this is a scientific tool, and Chen Qing can replicate it once he has thoroughly studied it.

Without hesitation, Chen Qing bought the item and took on a new mission.

The old woman didn't wake up the entire time, from the moment she bought the props until she left.

Just as Jarvis said, he's been dozing off at the entrance of the Bounty Hunter Guild every day.

Isn't it said that older people sleep less?

"Boss Chen Qing?"

He Cai, carrying a hoe, looked at Chen Qing, who had just left the bounty stall, with surprise. Boss Chen Qing actually came!

Although it's a bit embarrassing to say this, she had previously thought that Chen Qing was just fooling them.

After all, everyone's status is so different now.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Chen Qing nodded to He Cai. She still remembered this girl; she had hugged her and called her family.

"I'm sorry, I broke my promise to you."

"It's nothing, it's nothing. You must have more important things to do, sir. This is just a small matter for us."

"I saw the news, you're so cool, bro!"

He Cai gave Chen Qing a thumbs up, praising him sincerely.

As the only important figure the villagers on the reef island knew, Chen Qing was someone they paid close attention to.

It's worth noting that Chen Qing also played a part in making Reef Island so peaceful.

With such a large mechanical ship standing there, who would dare to approach?

"Thanks."

"By the way, are you free tomorrow night, boss? The fields in the village have just yielded a good harvest!"

He Cai wiped the dirt off her face and extended a warm invitation.

"Can."

Chen Qing readily agreed and left the reef island after a brief chat with He Cai.

She needed to go back to the ship to clean up the machinery and supplies she had brought back.

Combat machines must be developed as soon as possible.

Having returned from the Parthia Islands, Chen Qing had discovered her weaknesses and wanted to seize enough benefits from this Deep Blue War.

She needs a strong army.

This is not the small-scale Rabbit Legion or anything like that before, but a real army capable of confronting the families of the Deep Blue Sea.

The mechanical artifacts we got from them before would be perfect.

Once the fragments of consciousness on those mechanical materials have been cleared, production can officially begin.

Chen Qing plans to build a combat warship and upgrade and improve the Explosive Battle Rabbit Hunter Group III.

At the very least, all the ship's machinery needs to be upgraded to Class B, otherwise it will be difficult for them to keep up with her pace.

Back on the wooden boat, Chen Qing activated the consciousness removal device. The sphere instantly enveloped the boat and began scanning and removing the consciousness.

Chen Qing stayed on the ship, recording and analyzing the data from the consciousness-clearing device throughout the entire process. She needed to understand it thoroughly if she wanted to replicate it.

Although Chen Qing is very talented, she has relied on her extraordinary abilities since becoming a mechanic.

Especially for skill improvement, while this method is convenient, it's somewhat like forcing growth.

Chen Qing needs time to digest this knowledge, to thoroughly integrate it, and to make it his own.

Her foundation was too weak compared to the native mechanics of this world.

Maybe she could try to get some freebies from the Mechanical Engineering Association.

That was the original plan, but it was ultimately ruined by Shangjia.

After cleaning all the machinery on the wooden boats, including the mechanical tree, Chen Qing returned to the mechanical boat with the supplies.

Chen Qing sent the mechanical tree to the planting area. Although it was now mechanical, Chen Qing had cleared away the fragments of civilization consciousness in a timely manner.

Therefore, the mechanical tree still retains certain biological characteristics, just like that semi-mechanical carnivorous flower.

It's quite interesting; it's both mechanical and biological, unlike a purely mechanical being like the Mechanical Heart, which possesses a soul.

The variety of species on Chen Qing's boat is becoming increasingly diverse.

Upon returning to the ship, Chen Qing handed over all the supplies to Mechanical Heart for arrangement, and then devoted herself wholeheartedly to the mechanical work.

The Assistant Bees have already begun constructing the combat warships.

Chen Qing had almost forgotten about them. Having acquired a portion of the mechanical civilization's memories, Chen Qing had already made some progress in repairing the Assistant Beehive.

It seems that repairing the Assistant Bee hive is more important than manufacturing combat weapons.

After a moment's thought, Chen Qing decisively decided to repair the beehive first.

With the hive repaired, her workload will be greatly reduced, allowing her to focus on mechanical improvements and creations.

Now that we have the materials and the inspiration, we have everything we need.

Chen Qing moved the assistant beehive into the studio, grabbed the tools and materials, and immediately began the repair work.

Repairing the honeycomb wasn't difficult; Chen Qing took off a piece and knew exactly what was inside.

The difficulty is that she only knows how to disassemble, but not how to reassemble.

The honeycomb process was something she had never encountered before, so now she didn't need to worry about that.

Chen Qing stared at the beehive, and some other ideas came to mind.

It seems feasible to repair the beehive while simultaneously improving it.

The original grade of this beehive was A, the quality of which was unknown, but Chen Qing guessed that it was most likely red quality.

With Chen Qing's current abilities, it's definitely impossible to make it break through to a higher level, but some optimization is still possible.

Repair work commenced swiftly. The assistant bees assisted, and the work continued until the Mechanical Heart reminded Chen Qing that the appointed time with the civilians on the reef island had arrived.

Chen Qing then realized that more than a day had passed without her noticing.

However, she had only completed less than one-tenth of the repair work on the beehive.

She was referring to one-tenth of a piece that makes up a honeycomb.

The work of repairing the beehive was far more difficult than Chen Qing had imagined.

Its level of detail surpasses even the abridged version of the original defensive structure.

That Class A defensive fortification was built entirely of various combat and defensive machines, but the Hive could be compared to it simply because of its level of sophistication.

The repair work was temporarily suspended, and to show courtesy, Chen Qing specially changed into clothes other than his work clothes.

As Chen Qing was getting ready to change clothes and head to Reef Island after leaving the bathroom, she suddenly received a call from Chen Cheng.

This guy never shows up unless he needs something; unless absolutely necessary, she'd rather die than bow down to Chen Qing.

What exactly happened to make her come to Chen Qing on her own initiative?

As soon as the call connected, Chen Cheng's hoarse voice came from the other end.

"Chen Qing? Sorry to bother you—"

Chen Cheng spoke to Chen Qing with great difficulty.

"Chen Miao is missing. She has been missing for many days."
