It would be a miracle if so many heavy machines didn't malfunction when powered by poorly designed circuitry.
If there's a problem with the circuit, just step in and show off your skills, and the rest will be easy.
Thinking of this, Chen Shi's mind instantly became active.
Circuit problems are occasional events, and we can't just sit idly by. But deliberately causing a circuit problem in front of everyone is not an easy thing to do.
Where should we start?
When you have something on your mind, you work slower.
"Hurry up and finish, so we can leave work earlier. If we stay any longer, it'll be dark," his coworkers urged.
"In the dark?"
Shen Shi immediately grasped the key point, pointed to the overhead light, and asked, "With all these lights on, how can it be dark?"
The older man sighed after hearing this: "Don't even mention it, are you new here?"
"You've been here for four or five days, what's the story behind this, bro?"
Although she didn't know why the other person asked this, Chen Shi still answered truthfully.
The eldest brother, speaking with the air of someone who had been through it all, said earnestly.
"It's obvious this is your first time working overtime. This construction site is a bit strange; the power goes out every nine o'clock. We've called countless electricians to fix it, but nothing has worked."
Upon hearing the word "power outage," Chen Shi's eyes immediately lit up. This meant that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the power would also be out tonight.
This is like a pillow being delivered when I'm sleepy; heaven is really kind to me!
Sensing the opportunity was slipping away, he immediately pressed further, "Does it stop every day?"
“That’s not true!” the older brother said.
Seeing Chen Shi's strong thirst for knowledge, he lowered his voice and leaned closer mysteriously.
"If you ask me, it's because I got some kind of unclean stuff on me. I'm always terrified when I work the night shift, sigh!"
Listening to his elder brother's sigh and looking at his fierce face, Chen Shi sighed sincerely, "You really can't judge a book by its cover."
As a staunch materialist, Shen Shi understood that the problem lay in the circuit contact.
But facing his timid older brother, he still went along with it and said, "It is a bit strange."
"Right? So let's work harder and try to finish before nine o'clock and get out of this awful place!"
"Um."
The two continued to shovel sand diligently.
Because the project was delivered ahead of schedule, there has been a lot of work to do these past few days. It's impossible for my brother to finish before 9 o'clock.
Chen Shi silently waited for nine o'clock to arrive.
Because they didn't have a watch and couldn't afford a mobile phone, the waiting process was extremely long.
The work of shoveling sand was very hard. Just when I was so tired that I couldn't straighten my back, everything suddenly went black.
"See, I was right!" the older brother said in a low voice.
An opportunity has arrived! In the stillness of the night, his eyes shone brightly.
"If things keep going this bad, how are we supposed to get this job done?! Where's Old Li? Go get him to come and take a look, he's just wasting time!"
The foreman, Li Min, was holding a flashlight and cursing angrily.
"Old Li didn't come today," someone answered from the darkness.
"Damn it, that old fox, he takes the money and does nothing all day!"
Old Li had the easiest job, yet he earned the most money, simply because he understood circuits.
As it turned out, this bastard was all talk and no action, arriving late and leaving early every few days, completely disregarding him. The foreman was so angry he gritted his teeth.
But without solving the lighting problem, we can't work.
Li Min, who knew nothing about circuits, had no choice but to take out his mobile phone and make a call.
"Let me give it a try!" a voice suddenly came from the crowd.
Li Min moved the flashlight up and saw Chen Shi: "You know about these things?"
You have to understand that electricity is not something to be trifled with; you can easily get shocked if you're not careful.
If someone is completely clueless and something goes wrong, he'll be the one held responsible.
"We have a general idea, but we'll have to wait and see."
Although Shen Shi did not give a definite answer, judging from his confident tone, he must have some skills.
Since Lao Li isn't here anyway, there's no harm in letting him try. Li Min thought to himself, "Then I'll ask you to take a look, but please be careful."
Shen nodded. "Where is the safety pin?" he asked.
Li Min pointed him to a place, and Shen Shi walked over there.
With the power outage and the loss of lighting, the workers on the construction site were idle. Since this young man volunteered to repair the circuit, they all followed suit to join in the fun.
The small area was instantly packed with people.
Chen Shi ignored the group of people around him, slowly opened the box, and carefully examined the safety latch.
Based on his past experience, regular, sudden power outages usually indicate a problem with the fuse.
"The power trips every day at this time, I don't know why. I'm always neglecting my cultivation duties." Li Min complained incessantly.
Chen Shi grunted in agreement and then asked, "Where can I get a screwdriver?"
Li Min pointed to someone and brought it to him.
After accepting the gift and saying "thank you," Chen Shi began working methodically.
After carefully disassembling and examining each item to be checked, Chen Shi frowned deeply.
How could this be? This doesn't make sense!
According to his inspection, the safety latch was perfectly fine.
Li Min had thought he could count on a top-tier player, but the player looked troubled, so he waved his hand dismissively.
"I'm just taking a look. It's no big deal if it can't be fixed. I've replaced this thing so many times, but it's completely useless. It's really fucking weird!"
As he was talking, he lost his temper again and kicked the paint bucket. The empty iron bucket clattered and rolled to the wall.
"If the circuit can't be fixed, we can't work," Li Min waved to everyone and said, "Let's all go home early today."
Upon hearing that they could leave work early, everyone was overjoyed and jogged outside.
Only when the sinking was still checking the safety bolt, but still no problems were found.
Li Min lit a cigarette and sat beside him, but after finishing the cigarette, there was still no improvement, so he didn't want to wait any longer.
Although he hadn't accomplished anything, Li Min, with his chivalrous spirit, didn't want anyone to have worked for nothing.
He patted Chen Shi on the shoulder and said, "Brother, come out with me for a hot meal."
Just as he was about to leave, Chen Shi, who was still squatting on the ground, suddenly spoke up: "Where is the other safety bolt?"
"How did you know!" Li Min exclaimed in surprise.
As expected, Shen Shi instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
"This is it. I didn't take it apart before because I thought it was too much trouble, but it can only carry an electric fan."
Li Min led Shen Shi to the back wall, pointed to the switch on the wall, and explained to him.
"But how did you know there was another one?" Li Min asked curiously.
"The previous circuit breaker worked perfectly, so I wondered if there were other circuits, and sure enough, there were."
Chen Shi is not a professional electrician; his understanding of electrical circuits comes from his experience in home renovation, which is why he reacts a little slowly.
