Genius Mechanic

In the year 1245 of the Star Calendar, the S-level mecha athlete [sink] shone brightly, setting numerous records. Despite his immense glory, he announced his retirement after achieving the grand sl...

Chapter 81

The mobile robot hovered high in the sky, scanning the damaged mecha as a whole, and presenting the internal conditions of the mecha one by one in the form of data imaging. The S-level pollutant is extremely corrosive. The inside of the mecha has been corroded to a certain extent by some of the liquid that has seeped in, especially the elbows of the mecha, where all the metal nerves have been severed.

For the mecha pilot who had a high degree of empathy with the mecha, this was undoubtedly like feeling the pain of a broken hand.

The view from inside the base station was crystal clear, and all viewers who were paying attention to the A-26 area's view saw this severely damaged mecha.

As the black hole situation developed, the first damaged mecha appeared. Many viewers left the viewing angle because of fear, while others looked at the damaged mecha with concern.

[Can't this mecha be sent to the Administration via warp? 】

[No, it is too badly damaged. Corrosion has caused the mecha's various parts to steadily decline. The strong pressure from the jump will cause it to disintegrate directly during the jump. 】

[I saw the Administration send out a rescue team. 】

Many maintenance technicians and experts who were unable to arrive at the scene were also watching in front of StarNet. They felt it was difficult to see such damage. The environment of the base station is too harsh. There are no large, safe and stable instruments, and no team of maintenance technicians available on call.

[Strong corrosive damage, corrosive combustion carries toxicity, if it enters the cockpit, you're doomed. 】

[We can only hope that the maintenance technician on the scene can stabilize the situation, at least until the rescue team arrives. 】

[Who is the maintenance engineer who went up?] 】

【……I know! There was only one maintenance technician on site, Ying Chenlin from KID. 】

Regarding KID Ying Chenlin, the audience who have been following the black hole incident in the past few days have heard of this person's deeds. On the first day, he cooperated with his teammates to kill the pollutant with S-level speed and strength bonuses. They hadn't seen this mecha technician on the field since that day, and now when they saw him on the tarmac, they suddenly remembered that Ying Chenlin's main job was a maintenance technician.

[How is his level…?] 】

[He is so young, can one person handle it? 】

What’s your level…? This question is difficult to answer. All we can say is that his presence on the league maintenance bench has proven some of his abilities. During the league, he also seemed to have participated in the repair work of the damaged mechas caused by the Bloodthirsty Crows attacks.

Moreover, if you have observed A-26's perspective since the black hole incident, you can find that he often assists other mecha operators in doing mecha self-inspections... but these cannot make it clear how strong he is.

Because of the image, no one knows his strength except the people at the scene.

The rumbling sound of fighting continued. The mecha technicians tried their best to move the pollutants away from the defense system, but there were still a lot of pollutants lying on the defense system, attacking the defense system bit by bit.

Under the defense system, after looking at the data imaging, the staff looked up at the mecha with concern. The maintenance technicians in protective clothing were already trying to dismantle the outer armor of the cockpit, and the corroded outer armor fell from a height with a bang.

The protective suit did not seem to affect his operation and judgment. The staff knew that Ying Chenlin was a maintenance technician, but it was a different feeling when they actually saw him quickly disassemble the mecha. The other party only looked at the data imaging on a robot and dared to start without any planning drawings.

"Don't get close to these things. The smell produced by corrosion is poisonous." Ying Chenlin reminded from a high place.

The staff nodded: "I'll get the purification device right away."

Ying Chenlin moved quickly. He removed the outermost layer of armor, and then cut the metal nerves to enter the cockpit. The conditions at the base station were too bad. There were no large instruments in the maintenance area. For example, the previous method of directly stripping off the entire cockpit was completely impractical under such conditions... The only method available was to open the cockpit directly and rescue the mecha pilot.

Fortunately, no peeling operation was required, all he needed to do was open the cockpit safely.

The protective suit affected his sense of touch to a certain extent. When his right hand reached into the inside of the armor plate, he could hear a sizzling corrosion sound. Some of the liquid was stained on the protective suit, and it seemed that it would corrode human limbs through the thin protective suit, but Ying Chenlin did not frown at all.

On the contrary, those sounds did not affect him at all. His hands went deep into the armor plate, passing through the corroded metal nerves and juices, and accurately found the bayonet that had been corroded to the point of being almost untouchable. Once he touched it, he used his other hand to pry off the mechanical clamp without hesitation, and with a bang, the armor plate fell from a height, pulling the metal nerves.

The people who were watching the video the whole time were amazed at his skillful and quick dismantling work when they saw this scene.

[The speed of dismantling is so fast...]

[Doesn’t he need help in making judgments?] How dare you to demolish it? 】

[The key is that he didn’t dismantle the wrong one!] From a closer perspective, you can see that all the armor plates have come down, but the cockpit inside is intact. 】

The maintenance technician was hanging on the outside of the cockpit without any auxiliary tools. All disassembly operations were performed around the mecha, and he only relied on his legs to work in various gaps in the mecha.

The message from the rescue team has been sent to the main control room. The maintenance technician will arrive at the scene in about ten minutes and asks the on-site staff to carry out simple cleanup to buy time. When the staff brought the purifier over, there were already a dozen corroded armor plates on the ground.

"So fast?" The staff hurried to the monitor. Ying Chenlin did not remove all the armor plates, but opened a gap on the side of the cockpit that was wide enough for three people to pass through. At this moment, only the last armor plate was left in the gap.

Ying Chenlin looked at the last armor plate in front of him and raised his eyes slightly to look upwards.

There were several mechas mixed in among the pollutants, their red and white silhouettes were very obvious.

The staff watched and noticed that Ying Chenlin had stopped moving. "Mr. Ying?"

Why didn’t he continue to dismantle it? 】

[Wouldn’t it be possible to rescue people by dismantling the cockpit? 】

In the control room, the old man saw this and said, "It can't be demolished next."

A staff member nearby asked, "Is it because of a lack of tools?"

"No." Mr. Qiu looked at the young man in the picture. From the side he chose to demolish to now, all the operations were almost perfect. It can be said that there is almost no place to be picky. "There are enough tools. The key is the surrounding environment."

"See the high ground? It's hard for mech operators to control their positions during combat. A collision like the one before could cause the internal antenna pole to be broken." Mr. Qiu continued, "It's a very delicate job for maintenance engineers to repair the mech, not to mention that there is corrosive liquid inside the mech. Have you considered the possibility that the vibration during the dismantling process will cause the corrosive liquid to flow into the cockpit?"

The staff was stunned.

The mecha pilot in the cockpit only has combat uniforms, which can resist pollution but may not resist corrosion.

If the sap flows back, the mecha pilot inside will be corroded.

Elder Qiu looked at the young man and said, "So we can't demolish it anymore... We can only wait for the rescue team to arrive."

The battle in the field is still going on. In addition to the surroundings of the base station, the battle directly above it is also extremely fierce.

The pollutants were faintly visible under the sunlight from high above. The huge S-level pollutants blocked most of the field of vision, and there were also many A-level pollutants around it. Ji Qingfeng finally managed to snatch the giant wolf corpse belonging to KID from under the feet of the unsportsmanlike Pollution, but was eventually knocked away by the Pollution.

You Su controlled Theo to circle around, knocking away pollutants one by one, and while aiming, he also scanned the scene under the defense system in the gap. The damaged mecha stayed where it was. The maintenance technician in protective clothing looked up, and You Su's aiming action paused for a moment.

Under the protective suit, the maintenance engineer made a slight gesture and pointed to the damaged mecha under his feet.

"Brother You, what are you doing over there?" Ji Qingfeng flew back and swept away the pollutants around him.

"Change the battle plan." You Su flew over the defense system and stopped in front of it. "Don't let them get close to the defense system in the next 10 minutes."

"Stopped in front of the defense system?" Huo Yan hesitated for a moment, then looked in the direction and noticed the damaged mecha below. "The damaged mecha was not sent back to the Administration."

Huo Yan was a soldier before, he knew what this meant.

If it is not sent back to the Administration, it means that the only option is on-site repair.

He readjusted his stance, "I'll take care of that big S-class guy, the rest of you hold the defense system. Don't worry about the small pollutants, just watch over the big ones."

"Captain Qi, Captain Ke, border troops and individual soldiers, can you hear me?"

Huo Yan contacted other mecha masters, "I need your help with something."

The mechas in the sky adjusted their posture, and the mechas flying far away were moving back.

Ying Chenlin was slightly startled when he saw all the mechas moving. He turned to look at the staff and said, "Adjust the robot's perspective and notify me immediately of any changes."

The stunned staff below immediately said: "Yes!"

The mecha divisions scattered throughout the defense system received contact from KID. The mecha divisions that were originally on the move adjusted their positions at the same time. All of them were evenly distributed above the defense system. This instant adjustment was immediately captured by the people observing the Administration. The staff who monitored the internal communication were stunned: "KID's Captain Huo adjusted his strategy."

The staff on the other side said: "The maintenance technician continues to work. He is dismantling the cockpit shell!"

Ying Chenlin wiped the juice off the surface of the inner cockpit with his hand and quickly glanced around the cockpit. As he expected, the juice had seeped in, but the cockpit had not yet been damaged by corrosion. The material used for the outer layer of the cockpit is the strongest in the entire mecha, and at this moment it is still protecting the mecha pilot inside.

The entire mecha is placed at an angle so that it can maintain a certain balance when not vibrated.

Ying Chenlin poured the neutralizer into the gaps around the mecha. The corrosive effect of the neutralized juice was reduced, but it still had a certain destructive power on the human body. He found the right angle for dismantling and let out a long breath, "Hold on."

Once the mechanical clamps are in place, there is no turning back on the demolition work.

[He starts to move!] 】

[Will this work?] There is a lot of corrosive fluid around the cockpit. 】

[What happened to that S-level pollutant? Wasn’t it tied up a few times? How can there be so much liquid? 】

[This mecha seemed to be tied up and dragged into its mouth. The monster looked a bit like a carnivorous plant, and its mouth was full of this liquid. 】

Everyone watched the maintenance technician's operation nervously.

The staff stared closely at the robot's monitoring screen, helping Ying Chenlin to see the flow direction of other juices inside the mecha, and to eliminate the flow through the cockpit as much as possible. When the first piece of cockpit outer armor fell from a height, he saw a change somewhere and exclaimed, "The upper left side of the cockpit!"

Everyone's heart was lifted. Ying Chenlin quickly blocked the liquid flowing down from the side with his hand.

Use mechanical pliers to pry open a certain part and change the direction of the liquid flow.

He didn't stop at this point, but took out a small welding gun from the maintenance pocket under his right leg.

It is a small portable welding tool specially made for maintenance technicians' work.

"Continue." Ying Chenlin clamped the mechanical pliers in another gap in the cockpit and completely welded the removed parts around the cockpit to ensure that no liquid would flow in before proceeding to the next step of disassembly.

[Stable…? 】

[Hold on!] 】

The cockpit shell has multiple protective exterior panels. To ensure that liquid does not flow in, the removal of each panel is very important.

After blocking one gap, he quickly determined the next target. The mechanical pliers moved downward, and he quickly changed a tool and removed the most important board.

The light penetrated into the dark cockpit, and the mecha pilot, entangled by metal nerves, was in a coma.

Ying Chenlin called out to the inside, but the mecha master didn't move at all, "Gas mask."

The staff immediately asked the small robot to take it up.

Ying Chenlin took off his protective gloves, took the mask from the robot, and leaned in sideways.

He lowered his body, pressing his entire body against the cockpit, barely reaching the mecha pilot's face. The moment he put the gas mask on his face, the mask automatically fit the other's face.

Toxic protection, the rest is to prevent the intrusion of corrosive liquids.

Ying Chenlin put on his gloves again, and half of his protective suit was covered with corrosive liquid.

At this moment, a large pollutant from high above broke through the mecha master's obstruction and rushed straight towards the defense system.

"Carrot!" Colin shouted urgently.

Hu Luobu said: "No, I can't catch up!"

The sudden change made everyone nervous. With the speed of that pollutant, it would definitely cause a shock if it hit the defense system.

Suddenly, an energy cannon fired at a tricky angle, knocking the pollutants away just as they were about to hit, thus maintaining the delicate balance.

Theo breathed a sigh of relief: "Luckily we flew over!"

"We don't have enough time." You Su raised his eyes. The pollutants that they had led away before were approaching again. "We can probably hold out for another 5 minutes."

In the sky, all mecha operators have clear positions and division of labor.

Protecting the entire defense system from vibration is a fantasy. Their number is too small to provide all-round protection. They can only analyze and protect key contact surfaces from the perspective of force and minimize internal vibrations as much as possible.

All the people who were paying attention to the rescue watched his movements, and their emotions also fluctuated along with his movements.

So steady. Even in such an environment, Ying Chenlin's hands were still very steady.

He carried out his work in an orderly manner without being disturbed by the outside world, as if he had left all the hidden dangers to the mecha technicians outside the defense system.

"The rescue team is here!"

At this time, the rescue team composed of border troops leapt to the outskirts of the base station and entered the base station under the cover of several mecha divisions. As soon as they entered the base station, they saw the dismantling work going on high up. A bright-looking woman in work clothes from the five-member rescue team ran to the monitoring station in a few steps. "He has already started the dismantling work and cannot get on the mecha. Find a way to keep him balanced."

The staff was stunned when they saw her, "Are you Mr. Shen from KID?"

"Leave the work here to us." Shen Xingtang is a retired battlefield maintenance technician. She is very familiar with on-site operations. She can tell which step Ying Chenlin is at with just one glance.

The border army maintenance engineer nearby also came forward and saw the operation on the monitor. He couldn't help but say: "Too bold, they actually adopted the method of repairing while dismantling."

But it has to be said that this method is the fastest. Under special circumstances, this method can rescue the mecha pilot the fastest.

When the rescue team arrived, they quickly set up earthquake-proof measures on the scene. Everyone finally put their minds at ease. The maintenance engineer on top of the mecha removed the last baffle and completely created a rescue passage.

Only when Ying Chenlin came down from the height did the people watching breathe a sigh of relief.

There was a big hole in the chest of the mecha, with residual liquid of corrosion in the hole. A gap was opened at the cockpit position that was only wide enough for two people to pass through. The area around the gap had been carefully adjusted by the maintenance technician, and there were traces of temporary special welding everywhere. Not a drop of corrosive liquid entered the cockpit.

Those who were paying attention stared intently at the temporary rescue passage that was built in just fifteen minutes, and they couldn't help but feel admiration.

The other maintenance technicians and the medical stretcher had already reached a higher place. When Ying Chenlin took off his protective suit, his forehead was covered with sweat.

When he saw Shen Xingtang, Ying Chenlin was slightly startled, as if he did not expect the other party to come into the contaminated area.

Shen Xingtang smiled slightly and gave him a thumbs up, "Shen Lin, good job!"

The maintenance technician has a young face, but no one dares to look down on him for the skills he has demonstrated.

The injured mecha pilot was rescued from the cockpit. His vital signs were stable and there was not a single sign of corrosion on his body. He came out of the cockpit intact.

The border maintenance technician who participated in the rescue solemnly saluted him, and Ying Chenlin humbly returned the salute.

A doctor nearby said, "Thanks to your help, this rescue was so successful."

Ying Chenlin tilted his head and recognized the doctor.

He was the doctor who had examined him before on Tianyu Star.

The doctor, carrying a medical kit, said, "Let's go to the infirmary in a bit. The protective suit may not be able to block all the poisonous gases. Let's do a check."

Ying Chenlin: "Thank you."

The rescue work at the scene was still going on. The border maintenance technicians were dealing with the damaged mecha. Seeing that Ying Chenlin was still standing there, Shen Xingtang hurriedly rushed him to the temporary medical department in the base station.

The mecha division outside the field returned to its original combat position and cleared the surrounding pollutants again.

[How do the mecha divisions outside achieve unity? The speed is so fast. 】

[My teacher said that the biggest difficulty in this repair is to maintain balance in a harsh environment. All the efforts of the mecha technicians are to protect the internal balance. Didn’t you notice that since the cockpit was dismantled, there have been very few large pollutants impacting it. 】

Everyone on Starnet saw a live collaboration between the mecha technicians and the maintenance technicians. Although it was only ten minutes long, every minute was the result of everyone’s hard work. The person under the greatest pressure actually falls on the maintenance engineer on site. He does almost all the disassembly work alone. Even with the uncertainty of the external environment, he can still remain so calm while performing his work.

[I now believe that KID has hired a pervert...]

[Oh my god, I was so nervous watching the whole process, his hands were so steady. 】

[I apologize for my previous doubts about his professional level! 】

Inside the administration, everyone felt relieved. Mr. Qiu looked at the young man. Just when he was about to zoom in to observe him, the young man had already turned around and followed the doctor into the building.

Inside the base station, a lounge was converted into a temporary medical room.

Ying Chenlin had already done a simple physical examination and wanted to go outside to help but was sent back by Shen Xingtang, who strongly asked him to rest.

The vibrations from the battle outside were transmitted to the inside of the building. Ying Chenlin was sitting in the corridor outside the lounge, with the light computer in his hand playing part of the scene outside the venue. The several S-level pollutants that came this time were difficult to eliminate. The mecha technicians made protecting the defense system their primary task and led them to a wider scene to fight, to avoid the recurrence of the behavior of a certain mecha destroying the defense system.

Ying Chenlin lowered his head slightly, and his hand on the light brain accidentally swiped, and the real-life scene suddenly disappeared.

He was about to turn off the computer when he suddenly noticed a temporary file on the page that was not classified into other programs.

It was a temporary file of the mental spectrum, which he derived from the mecha he had driven previously. It was the map space of the A-level mental power when he was in empathy with Yuan.

At this time, the door of the treatment room behind him was pushed open.

The doctor came out and saw Ying Chenlin still here. He was surprised and asked, "Why are you waiting here?"

Shen Xingtang forced Ying Chenlin to rest for three hours.

Ying Chenlin could only stay here. He nodded slightly and asked, "Is the mecha master okay?"

"He's fine. He should be able to wake up in a few hours." The doctor looked at the young man in front of him. "This is all thanks to you. If it were any later, even if he wasn't corroded by the liquid, he would still be affected by the poisonous gas produced by the internal corrosion."

Ying Chenlin was relieved to hear that the person was fine, "That's good."

"Come in." The doctor held up the data tablet in his hand. "Your medical report just came out, and I just happened to be looking for you."

Ying Chenlin was puzzled, but still followed the doctor in.

As soon as I sat down, a temporary data tablet was handed to me, on which was a temporary physical examination report. ◇

After the doctor handed over the data pad, he asked, "Have you been exercising during this period? Or have you changed the prescription of your medication?"

Ying Chenlin was slightly stunned, and answered truthfully: "No."

He has been taking medicine according to the doctor's prescription for the past few months. The amount of medicine has been reduced, but the prescription has not been changed.

"That's strange." The doctor took out another data pad and showed it to him, "Take a look at this one. This is the physical and mental samples from your examination on Tianyu Star."

When the two data reports are placed together, some changes in the graph features become particularly obvious.

Ying Chenlin went to the hospital for a checkup every two months, and the graphs showed signs of change, but none of the signs were as great as the changes in these two.

"I told you before that you have problems with your mental strength, but what surprised me was your physical condition."

The doctor pointed to the sample of physical fitness and said, "When Tianyuxing examined you, your physical fitness was still Class B, but in this report, your physical fitness limit has been raised by two intervals."

Ying Chenlin was stunned and asked, "Two intervals?"

"The term interval may be a bit vague, so a simpler way to put it is -"

The doctor said seriously: "The upper limit of your physical fitness has reached Grade A."

The author has something to say:

I overslept in the morning and came late!

There will be extra chapters in the evening, so I’ll go to bed if I don’t wait until 12 o’clock! Wake up and watch tomorrow!
