This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 1: First Control
Blue Star Civilization…Silver-Gray Star…Third Generation of Immigrants…

I...I have traveled through time?
The severe pain that tore through every nerve made it difficult for Li Ming to feel any other emotions.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but his chest felt like a bellows. He forced himself to sit up and touched his neck, which was burning with pain.

After a while, he felt better and sat on the bed, holding onto the wall. The virtual poster on the left wall showed a girl with a good figure, with long round legs wrapped in black stockings, changing into various poses.

There was a roll of toilet paper on the bedside, and Li Ming didn't look at the trash can at the foot of the bed.

"Hanging..." He raised his head and looked at the thin rope hanging from the ceiling, but it broke due to the weight.

"Such a mess... no wonder he committed suicide." Thanks to his recent memory, Li Ming already knew what happened and gave a helpless smile.

The reason why his predecessor committed suicide was because his father mortgaged his house and borrowed a large sum of money at high interest from the Tiger Gang.

But he was hit and killed by an out-of-control hovercraft three days ago. The car was engulfed in fire and no trace of his body was found. The perpetrator has not been found yet.

The predecessor believed that the Xionghu Gang discovered that the house had actually been sold by Li Changhai a long time ago, but still mortgaged it to them, using the house for dual purposes. They were tricked, so they killed him.

After Li Changhai's death, my predecessor was so scared that he didn't dare to go out for two days, but what was even more desperate was that his predecessor suspected that Li Changhai had been cheated.

The reason for raising so much money was to buy admission qualification for the predecessor to Capital University of Technology.

That was the highest institution of learning in the Blue Star Civilization. How could a repairman possibly buy admission? After Li Changhai's death, there was no further news.

The money was scammed away, the house was sold, and the contract was signed, but he couldn't even pawn it to the Tiger Gang.

As for running away...outside SilverAsh City, in addition to the mines left over from over-mining, the second city is on the other side of the planet.

He really has only one life left. With his cowardly nature in his previous life, he is afraid all day long and is so scared that he wants to commit suicide. It's normal.

"I have to think of a way... otherwise I'll have to go into business." Li Ming managed to smile despite the hardship, his eyes slightly brightening: "By the way... Li Changhai's room..."

After going out the door, at the end of the corridor is Li Changhai's room. The silver-white metal door is cold and smooth, much more elegant than his small wooden door, but it is tightly closed.

Normally, Li Changhai never let his predecessor enter his room, and his predecessor was very obedient, but Li Ming didn't care.

"Wrong password..."

"... "

"... "

"Ding... locked, please try again in five minutes..." The smart door lock made a ruthless sound. Li Ming's face was very dark. Li Changhai's birthday, his predecessor's birthday, identity identification code and so on... none of them were correct.

"Xiao Huang, can you open it?" Li Ming suddenly shouted. There was no response in the empty room. He frowned slightly: "It's frozen again?"

When he arrived on the first floor, the pungent smell of mixed motor oil hit his face, making him frown.

The space is quite large, with several rooms connected. In the center is a machine tool consisting of four metal robotic arms, six meters long, four meters wide, and shiny silver.

“What’s it called…” He couldn’t remember, his previous incarnation had no interest in mechanical maintenance.

The ground was covered with dark brown oil stains, and there were many bottles and cans scattered around, mostly coolants and various engine oils, as well as several torque wrenches and electric screwdrivers.

He opened the black metal box in the corner and saw the dense bundles of wires, which made his scalp tingle. Repairing a home security system is a technical job.

His previous life was introverted, taciturn, and even a little cowardly. He refused to go to SilverAsh City's twelve-year compulsory education in the tenth year because he was bullied.

In a word, he is too useless. He cannot inherit the meager family property, and he cannot go to school well. His future is bleak.

That's why his father thought of buying the student qualification. Capital University of Technology is located on Blue Star, the capital star of Blue Star civilization.

It is also one of the three key support projects after the Blue Star civilization joined the Interstellar Alliance.

He didn't know how to fix the security system, but Li Ming knew another way. "Restarting is enough to solve 90% of the problems." He fumbled to find the chip port, pressed it, and the built-in elastic structure ejected the thumb-sized chip.

This security system was cracked by his father. One-key restart does not work, and it can only be restarted by removing the chip...

Li Ming stood there in a daze, rubbing his eyes to make sure what he saw was not an illusion.

“My previous incarnation also had no memory of eye transformation. Could this be…” His eyes became fiery, and only he could see the light blue screen.

[Heisel 850 chip (cracked version) - Ungraded: The processor chip was cracked by mechanical maintenance engineer Li Changhai, which removed the backdoor left by Heisel Company and increased the operating frequency.

Control conditions: 1 metal energy points

Control effect: Mechanical maintenance--beginner
Control ability - overload operation: increase reaction speed by 10%. 】

Li Ming took a quick glance and didn't quite understand, but he had to figure it out quickly.

Holding the chip, the cool and smooth touch calmed him down. There were black marks left on the golden contacts on the back.

He began to study the foundation of his life, and it was not until dawn that Li Ming exhaled a breath: "So that's it..."

At this moment, there were a large number of metal objects in front of him, but they were all covered with rust, and some had even turned into ashes.

The blue screen is not complicated. It absorbs metal materials and extracts metal energy. This is its most core substance.

After the metal energy is extracted, the metal material will gradually decay and turn into ashes.

By impregnating special mechanical creations with metal energy, they can be "contained" and gain effects and abilities.

The effect is like a passive skill, it will take effect as long as it is placed in the control bar, and the ability is an active skill.

However, most mechanical creations are not recognized, such as torque wrenches.

He tried for a long time, and in the room, apart from this chip, only the lathe met the control requirements.

[Taiwei Four-arm Machine Repair Lathe--Class F: A basic maintenance lathe produced by Qingtai Company, which is sufficient to process ordinary alloys.

Control conditions: 50 metal energy points

Control effect: Mechanical maintenance--primary
Control ability - auxiliary maintenance: four mechanical arms carrying maintenance equipment are derived to provide assistance. 】

"Directly derive four robotic arms? How?" Li Ming muttered to himself and felt a little curious.

Imagine, even if he was just carrying maintenance equipment, the strength alone would be powerful enough, but unfortunately... 50 points of metal energy made him hesitate.

He absorbed all the metal objects in the room that would not be used in the short term, and the counter on the bright blue screen reached [1.1].

"It can swallow two one-meter cast iron shafts, but it's only 1.1. They're solid." Li Ming was secretly amazed, but at least it met the minimum accommodation requirement.

He held the chip in his palm, and strands of energy flowed out from his fingertips, gradually covering the chip.

Then his palm felt empty, his pupils suddenly contracted, a large amount of information flooded into his mind, and his head began to ache again.

Various symbols rise and fall like waves, basic mechanical engineering transmission structure, torque formula... power supply line judgment...

He seemed to have become a maintenance master who had just started his career. Although he was still in the theoretical stage, he had gradually understood various maintenance methods and was no longer a newbie who knew nothing.
