early morning.
Li Xin opened his eyes and climbed up from the single bed.
He looked at the rather narrow window on the side of the room. The sky outside was still dim.
The light of the stars has not yet begun to illuminate the planet called Guansuo IV.
It was still early, but Li Xin was no longer sleepy. This might be due to the influence of his biological clock.
Li Xin is a newly graduated military trainee. After eight years of training and learning, he has mastered basic military knowledge and elementary commander skills.
Li Xin has graduated now, but the habits he has developed over the years are not so easy to change.
The room was quite narrow. In addition to Li Xin's single bed, it was also filled with a lot of mechanical sundries, various tools, oily bearings, simple mechanical repair tools, etc.
Even the space under the single bed made of steel pipes is filled with various mechanical parts.
Li Xin walked out of the room and saw a repair shop outside, with shelves on both sides filled with various miscellaneous accessories.
In the center is a workbench.
Li Xin looked at the huge robotic arm on the workbench and frowned.
There's no other reason, this robotic arm is just too old, with rough mechanical parts and black oil stains mixed with dust and oil.
Li Xin couldn't remember the model of this robotic arm, but it must be an old one from at least thirty or fifty years ago.
When he came back last year, Li Xin had not seen this robotic arm yet. It seemed that it was just purchased this year.
Although this robotic arm is very old, that is only for large companies. For a small civilian repair shop like this, this robotic arm is just in the running-in period.
90% new, rare item!
Li Xin patted the robotic arm and gave it a quick check to see if there was any problem.
Fortunately, although this robotic arm looks a little dirty and old, it is well maintained.
Li Xin fixed his eyes on the workbench in front of him, on which was placed a rifle.
As a military trainee, Li Xin is very familiar with this weapon.
X-49
This is a gunpowder weapon with a caliber of 7.8mm. It uses a magazine to feed ammunition. The basic magazine holds thirty rounds. In special combat situations, an extended magazine can be used.
This weapon is durable and still has a huge number of them on the planet Guansuo 4.
Now is the interstellar age, and various high-tech weapons are emerging in an endless stream. Even individual weapons have made great progress.
Laser rifles, electromagnetic rifles, Gauss rifles, plasma rifles, etc. have all been developed and even deployed on a large scale.
However, there are also quite a few gunpowder rifles X-49 in service, and the reason is actually very simple.
Although gunpowder weapons had various problems in this era, their biggest advantage was that they were cheap, easy to maintain, and had good lethality.
For an unarmored target, whether it is a laser bullet, an electromagnetic bullet, or a gunpowder bullet, there is no difference when it hits the body.
Just like in the ancient blue planet era, even though superpowers were already using aircraft carriers and fighter jets, there were still primitive tribes using spears to hunt.
In most cases, weapons are enough to kill the enemy. Whether it is bombed by heavy fighter jets or stabbed by spears, it may not make much difference to the dead.
The rifle on the workbench was obviously being repaired, and it was not just this weapon that needed repairing.
Under the workbench, there is a whole box of weapons, all of which are waiting to be repaired.
Li Xin picked up the rifle and skillfully checked it by pulling the bolt. The problem with the rifle was very simple, as if it had been hit and there was a problem with the ammunition supply system.
For minor problems like this, if conditions permit, you can simply replace the parts.
The X-49 weapon is extremely common here, and its commonness means that its accessories are easy to find.
Li Xin first disassembled the entire rifle, then looked at the damaged parts. The damage to the gun was more serious than he had imagined.
He turned around and walked towards a shelf piled with various parts. He heard the sound of metal colliding, and soon he found his target among a pile of messy parts.
After reinstalling these 99% new parts, Li Xin reassembled the rifle.
“Crack!”
Listening to the sound of the rifle's bolt being pulled, Li Xin checked again and found that the gun had been repaired.
He placed the rifle in a clean box on the other side and then picked up another weapon from the box awaiting repair.
Looking at the dried black marks on the weapon, Li Xin's expression remained unchanged. He knew what it was.
This is dried blood. Obviously, when these weapons were damaged, their original owners might also have been damaged.
But Li Xin was used to it. Guansuo Si, this planet was not a safe planet. Bloodshed and death were too normal here.
"Early in the morning! Ding-a-ling!"
"Why, you want me to die soon!"
A sound like a broken gong rang out behind Li Xin, followed by heavy footsteps approaching from behind.
Before he really got close, Li Xin could already smell the strong smell of sweat and engine oil mixed on him.
