Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 267 266. More and More People Are a Good Thing (Part )
As the wind and sand became more and more violent, the sky gradually changed from pitch black to a little white light, with a whistling sound that almost swept everything into the raging sand and burning wind, like a curtain wall reaching the sky and the earth.

Before that, the mobile base, now called "Navigator", had found a place to dock among the rugged rocks where many merchants would stop for a rest stop and which miraculously had not been destroyed by wind and sand.

The car had already stopped and parked sideways. When the hot wind blew over, the engine inside the car not only did not stop, but roared even louder.

Between the interlayers of the entire outer armor plate, the heat conversion pipe group, like fine capillaries, is running at full speed, continuously transferring heat energy to the cooling area, and at the same time using this heat energy to drive some auxiliary work items.

Not wasting means making a profit - the designers of the vehicle obviously have this idea.

Compared to the interior environment of other mercenary vehicles with bases, the Safe's vehicle is very suitable for travel because there are currently very few people in it and many things are done by CNC and automatic devices.

The most suitable one is... that there is no need for anyone to be on duty, or to be on night duty.

People in this world also call the time when the sun rises daytime and the time when the sun sets nighttime. Perhaps due to the culture and content brought to them by the vision, they also call the work of guarding during rest time "night watch."

Since Cypher had never concealed the fact that his backup body was a robot in front of anyone, he naturally took on this energy-consuming and generally undisturbed job.

During this period of time, he can also prepare various meals in the restaurant in his spare time... provided that Seifer does not have a sudden whim and make something difficult to understand.

Moreover, according to the survey of the current passengers on the bus, everyone has a fairly consistent evaluation of the various meals prepared by Safe.

The one at breakfast was the best, and the one at lunch was not so good because it was reheated after being left out for a while.

And the food that Sefer made in the evening, although it was freshly made, tasted worse than the one in the morning - Shengnai, who knew this secret, just smiled and didn't explain the reason.

As for Dr. Mei, during this period, Sefer usually brought her food.

The installation of the so-called complex computing device was nearing completion. During this period, Seifer also helped her buy some expensive scientific equipment, so at least he had put something together for her.

She said it would take three to five days to explain what it was specifically, and asked Seifer if he had the time to learn from her - he definitely didn't, it was hilarious.

The temperature inside the car rose slightly, at least not as cool as at night. Seifer entered the hangar from the main control cabin and was a little surprised to see Lin Shenxue sitting at a small table, carefully reading a thick-looking book.

"Why are you here? Why don't you go sleep in the engine room?"

Hearing the question, Lin Shenxue looked up at him, put the bookmark in place, picked up the tablet and clicked on it.

'After this section, go to sleep.'

"This is... the weapons repair manual for the Phantom Mist Group. Are you starting to learn this to steal the job from my newly hired weapons craftsman?"

"It's better than spending every day in the main gun room or just managing the engines."

After such a long period of adjustment, Lin Shenxue also realized that if she didn't change the status quo, her future living space would definitely be taken away by the new weapon craftsman!

She would feel a little embarrassed to eat and drink for free in the car.

While she was busy demonstrating her learning and engineering abilities, the cable on the hangar swayed, and a young girl wearing the same craftsman's easy-to-use and durable clothing slid down from it.

"I've checked it out. The last time you drove the machine out to show off, it was a lucky chance you didn't get into a fight with the enemy. Otherwise, it wouldn't be just a minor bearing issue."

She threw her gloves on the table and stretched out a bit tiredly: "Okay, I'm going to bed. If you need anything, please call me when I wake up or if there is an emergency?" "Okay, go ahead."

After watching her leisurely leave, Seifer supported the table with one hand and asked, "How is it like working with Weiwei?"

'That's a nice name.'

"anything else?"

"Her skills are quite impressive. I saw her dismantling the weapons without hesitation, as if she had dismantled and reassembled these things countless times... How old is she?"

Lin Shenxue couldn't believe that a guy of this age could be so skilled. She took out all the weapons in the warehouse, adjusted them, and carefully maintained them. Now even if she threw them to a recycling company, she could say they were 95% new.

But that was the reality. She had only been here for a few days, but she had already found a lot of problems with the backlog of items in the warehouse and even with Cypher's two machines, which drained his wallet a lot of money.

The advantage is that the maintenance effect of the machine body is immediate, and the feel of the entire machine is completely different after it is turned on.

"Let me think about it. She said she still has a few years to go before her coming-of-age ceremony, so it doesn't matter. I'll just take care of her for a few weeks at most. The next time I see the Dust mercenaries, I'll let her go."

Lin Shenxue sighed deeply - to be honest, after leaving the Furnace Node City, the whole car had not been properly prepared.

Either they are completing some random tasks, or they are endlessly repairing and maintaining vehicles, or they are rushing on the road.

Overall, it's boring, but also much more comfortable than being on the Doomsday Train. At least you don't have to worry about the despair brought by the overwhelming black mechanical frenzy after the alarm sounds.

"How about this, even though we haven't reached the Joint School's node city yet, we can stop and make some adjustments... Coincidentally, the next node city is quite interesting."

After chatting for a while, Seifer asked Lin Shenxue to rest early, then turned around and walked through the complicated passage to the experimental compartment where Dr. Mei was.

When I entered, I saw Dr. Mei lying on the sofa with an extremely idle look, which highlighted his leisurely look.

"You're here? Why are you here like this?"

"...Huh? What do you mean?"

"You don't taste good like this, and you smell like motor oil."

Seifer politely took a half step back: "I think we should make three rules..."

"Never mind, let me think about it... I need to use the bathroom later, so remember to come over after dinner."

I'd still rather decline your offer.

The complex computer was beeping non-stop, and after a while the sound slowly died down.

Seifer asked her, Feldrich has been on the bus for so many days, and although she has heard that there is a very powerful researcher on the bus, she has never seen him. Shouldn't they find a suitable time for the two to meet in person?
"There's no need to meet immediately. After all, I've already cancelled my public identity. A new identity will also require an opportunity to replace it." Dr. Mei waved his hand slightly: "If there's an unexpected event, we can talk about it when it happens."

You say it in a very easy and carefree way, but in reality you just don't want to go to the restaurant and just enjoy the privilege of having the meal brought to your door, right?
