When Lu Yuan asked the question, Chen Gang replied with a smile, "Factory Manager, you've come to the right person! I used to be a car modification worker!"
"Um...didn't you say you were a senior technician at a machinery factory? How did you become a car modifier?"
"Hey! It's all the same. Car modification requires some precision equipment and technicians who specialize in processing car parts!"
Lu Yuan immediately felt like he had struck gold. This unassuming guy was surprisingly knowledgeable about everything. He knew everything about mechanics, and Lu Yuan wondered if he was also proficient in something else.
However, when Lu Yuan asked him if he knew anything else, the other person finally shook his head.
"Factory manager, what do you take me for? How could I possibly know everything? I just have a passion for car modification and mechanics, and I learned these things both for work and as a hobby!"
"Okay! Do you have any ideas? I mean, about this modified truck thing!"
"That depends on how you want to change it. Do you prioritize speed or something else?"
Lu Yuan stroked his chin and thought for a while before saying, "Speed is important, and so is defensive capability! Ideally, it should also be improved when traversing complex terrain."
The other person looked at the car, then climbed up to check the engine. After a while, he finally came back and said, "Factory manager, no problem, I'll take care of it. But you have to provide me with the materials: welding guns, welding rods, electric saws, angle grinders, and all sorts of other materials! I also need some of the steel from the factory!"
"Okay! Bring whatever you want! I'll get it ready for you in a bit. When can we start?"
Upon hearing that the car needed to be modified, Chen Gang's eyes lit up with joy, and he exclaimed, "Factory manager, whenever you say we'll start, we'll start! I'll do whatever you say!"
"Okay! Let's start tomorrow! I'll go back and prepare your things, and I'll also list out all my ideas. Then you can just follow my suggestions!"
So, after getting the note from Chen Gang containing what he needed, Lu Yuan returned home and rushed straight into the basement, turning on a small light bulb and slowly searching inside.
Fortunately, Lu Yuan was very well prepared. He had all the tools here except for some uncommon ones that were hard to find. He also had all kinds of consumables, including welding rods, welding wires, sandpaper, and saw blades. It was a treasure trove for engineering students.
Following the instructions on the note, they brought out all the necessary items. Seeing Lu Yuan busy in the basement, Lu's father couldn't help but come over for a look. Of course, he was stunned when he discovered a warehouse full of various tools.
"Xiao Yuan, how did you get so many tools? Where did they come from?"
"Of course I bought it! What else would I do! Dad, come out quickly! I'm closing the shop!"
However, Mr. Lu had no intention of leaving. He wandered around inside for a while, and finally picked out a few rulers and some measuring tools.
"Good lad, you've got everything! I've been wanting to buy one of these imported rulers, and I didn't expect you to have them all here!"
Lu Yuan felt a pang of heartache when he saw the ruler in his father's hand.
"Dad! What are you doing with that ruler? You don't have to go to work anymore!"
"What's wrong! There's so much stuff in there, why can't you let your dad take even one thing? Oh, and give me a key!"
Lu Yuan quickly put his hands behind his back and said, "Dad, forget it. You lost your things after only two days. I'll keep them myself! I'll get you whatever you need in the future! Don't worry about what's in here. I'll need it all later!"
"Hey! You brat! You're still wary of your dad, huh!"
Taking advantage of his father's momentary lapse in attention, Lu Yuan pulled him out, locked the door, and escaped from the basement in an instant.
"Hey kid! Let's make a deal! I need a GPS tracker!"
Lu Yuan had already disappeared. He knew his father's personality too well. His father was definitely a person obsessed with all kinds of tools. When his father lived in his hometown, he didn't have the opportunity to have his own room, so he always had a toolbox. It was full of tools he had collected from various places. He knew each one like the back of his hand and would take them out and wipe them with a cloth in his spare time.
If Lu Yuan gives him the key, his dad will definitely empty the entire warehouse, and then he'll probably have to ask him for anything he wants.
Early the next morning, Lu Yuan arrived next to Chen Ke's house carrying a large box.
He was busy starting the car with a screwdriver and other tools. After all, he didn't have the key, and his neighbor was dead. It wasn't appropriate to rummage through a dead person's house, so he had no choice but to resort to this method.
Seeing this, Lu Yuan quickly stopped him: "You'll break the car again! Let Chen Gang fix it later!"
Chen Ke scratched his head and looked around the car key fob with a puzzled expression, saying, "It's strange. I always see them on TV pull down and pull out two wires, and they can start a car with just a light touch. I've been trying to find any wires that I can pull out, but I can't find any."
Just then, a laugh came from behind him: "Brother Chen, don't bother with this. This car is different from the others. Besides, the kind of technology you're talking about is only found in cars from decades ago. Nowadays, cars rely on computers for theft prevention!"
"What? Computer anti-theft? I've never heard of that! Do you know how to set it up?"
Lu Yuan got out of the car and looked at Chen Gang, who was fiddling with tools, and asked.
"That's right. To increase the power of a car's engine, you need to use a computer in addition to the hardware. I stayed up all night working on this!"
He then opened his laptop and showed it to the two of them.
"With this system, I can operate any computer-controlled car I encounter. I used this when I was doing car modifications! The only downside to this software is that the monthly fee is too expensive, but luckily an expert cracked it!"
After saying that, Chen Gang got into the car and connected it to the car's computer screen with a data cable.
For two complete novices, the other party's actions were undoubtedly incomprehensible.
Finally, a few minutes later, Chen Gang closed his laptop, stepped on the brake, and pressed the start button on the car.
The car made a few squeaking noises before stopping.
"Haha! It's done, no problem at all, as long as the car has gas! The battery was low, but it'll be fine after starting it for a while!"
