Under the illumination of several bright white semiconductor lights, two figures loomed in a workshop. This was a corner of an ore warehouse a thousand meters underground. Elsewhere, mountains of crushed ore piled up, yet to be transported away.
Due to power supply issues, they couldn't operate the transport equipment while the mining equipment was running. All the energy here came from the Panda City subway station over 30 kilometers to the south, and there was only one transmission line.
Of course, this was definitely against regulations, but what could they do? The two backup cables that had originally connected to the ground-based power station were now in ruins. So, their only lifeline was the thigh-thick superconducting wire and the emergency energy storage device next to the warehouse.
The workshop was a makeshift facility, a small area carved out of a warehouse using a few pieces of composite wood. It was primarily used for equipment repairs. An electric crane, acquired on the black market through connections by a few professional engineers, sat quietly there.
This crane is a great help. There are many equipment here that the exoskeleton cannot lift. Of course, those bulky equipment can be lifted by several people, but the people here are too busy and it is difficult for them to spare time to help.
Huang Yi likes this crane very much. Which boy doesn't like a machine that can be remotely controlled with a handle? However, considering its power consumption, it is best to use it less.
At this time, Huang Yi and his father were walking around an exoskeleton, which was the damaged exoskeleton.
The white-painted industrial exoskeleton was hung on a rack by two chains, allowing the two men to easily install and remove components. After eleven days of hard work, they finally repaired it using a pile of scrap metal mixed with snot and saliva.
Now, it's like new.
"I have charged this energy pack to 10 percent. It should be enough to start the test." Huang Yi handed a cylindrical object to his father, and then sat down at the drawing table beside him without any image.
The energy packs of industrial exoskeletons have always been like this. Compared to other exoskeletons, their energy packs must be resistant to extreme environments, impact-resistant, fast-charging and fast-discharging, and have a large capacity. Designers had no choice but to reinforce these energy packs as much as possible, ultimately resulting in the current form.
Huang Lun inserted the energy pack into the interface on the back of the exoskeleton. After hearing a mechanical "click" sound, he twisted the energy pack half a turn and then covered it with a protective cover.
This interface is actually an exoskeleton module. The original industrial exoskeleton only has one energy pack interface. After installing this module, the energy pack interface will become two. In addition, this module also has two mounting points that can be used to fix oxygen cylinders, which can be said to be quite practical.
“Click!”
Huang Lun turned on the start switch on the exoskeleton. Almost at the same time, a large amount of data was transmitted to a portable computer on the drawing table via a long cable.
The industrial exoskeleton cannot be remotely controlled after it is turned on, so naturally, they can only use this crude method to check its driver.
"How is it? Have you found out who broke it?" Huang Lun knocked on the arm joint of the exoskeleton with a wrench. After a sound of metal friction, the joint finally moved.
"Let me see... the usage log... I found it!? It's from a month ago!" Huang Yi exclaimed in surprise. He turned to look at Huang Lun, "The last recorded time was the 18th of last month, and the activation number was A4."
Huang Lun frowned. He knew which bastard this number belonged to. It was Chen Baoding, the mining team's driver! Logically, this guy should be very familiar with operating the exoskeleton. He had dozens of driving licenses and could drive anything here!
I really can’t understand…
"Tell them to pay attention at the next meeting! We won't be able to get the exoskeleton supply here in the short term!" Huang Lun said, then opened the workshop door and walked out.
Huang Lun breathed a sigh of relief as he walked into the tunnel. The difference between having one more exoskeleton and one less was too great. In the future, he could have two groups of people work together, and they wouldn't have to be so stretched like they are now.
"Hey~ Mr. Huang! Is that thing fixed?"
Huang Lun heard an unpleasant voice and turned to look. The guy must be Wang Renxing. He seemed to have just taken off his exoskeleton and was holding a long object in his hand. He didn't know what it was.
That guy wasn't someone to get along with easily. Huang Lun wanted to change the subject, so he said, "Didn't Lao Zhang send you to help Lao Qin? Why are you the only one back? And what's that in your hand?"
Wang Renxing replied casually, "I've finished my work. Old Qin is so slow, I was too lazy to wait for him, so I came back first. And what are you talking about?" He showed Huang Lun what he had in his hand. It was a hammer. "I need it in my room. Oh, and where are the nails?"
Here we go again! I don't know what this guy does in his room every day.
Huang Lun stood in front of the workshop door and said indifferently, "I don't have those nails here, only blasting nails. They can't be borrowed!"
"Alright then!" Wang Renxing stopped himself from charging in. "I'll go ask Comrade Lin Hai. You guys have nothing here. It's really boring!"
After the man walked away, Huang Lun spat in his direction.
Such hypocritical villains are rare, especially in a high-risk place like a mine. Although those rough guys have good tempers, if you really provoke them, you will really die without a burial place.
