Tang Shidao knew that this was not an exam. It was just sorting out some people who might not be technicians.
There was a large pile of mechanical parts in the room. Nearly half of them were intact parts, as if they had just been dismantled from a tank or mech. As long as they were fast enough, they could put together a tactical belt in less than half an hour, or spend two hours to assemble a small reconnaissance plane. With so many materials, not to mention a real technician, even a smart ordinary person could make a gun.
Was the toadman boss's exam really simple?
Not at all.
If it was a Beastman guard, he wouldn't be able to make a toy car even if he studied for a year. Therefore, the toadman boss only wanted smart technicians, even if they were fake, as long as they were smart enough.
It only took 16 minutes for Tang Shidao to have an energy pistol in front of him.
However.
Tang Shidao didn't submit the 'complete' task on the smart bracelet. He just waited slowly to see when the other technicians would finish. In this prison, in addition to the five technicians who were in the same car as the toadman boss, there were hundreds of people bought from other places. Tang Shidao wasn't sure if they were all technicians. After all, he only had the senses and vision of a 'mortal'.
Bored, Tang Shidao opened the smart bracelet and looked up the knowledge of the Nefas Galaxy bit by bit.
The first thing he checked was naturally mechanical knowledge.
This was the foundation of his life.
In the science, Tang Shidao saw a lot of things. There was a large amount of magic spring here, and there was even a preset magic energy explosion. Some videos introduced that some planets would suddenly grow magic energy crystals. It was not the normal formation of ores, but a visible overgrowth.
A large number of magic energy crystals were like sharp swords hidden in the ground.
When the time came, they would grow crazily.
The smallest one was only the size of an arm, and the largest one was the size of a mountain.
Whenever this happened, the war would begin.
Magic energy crystals were the 'batteries' of all machinery, from the small smart bracelet to the large galaxy battleship. All machinery relied on magic energy crystals to power it. Without magic energy crystals, everything you could use would become scrap iron. For an individual, arcanite coins, mithril coins, and red copper coins were money; for a force, magic energy crystals were real money.
After checking for a long time.
The guards brought food over … well, it could probably be called food. It felt like a lump of something with a large piece of bread.
Tang Shidao lost all his appetite with just one look.
Communication through messages.
He gestured for the lizard guard with a mouth full of sharp teeth to come forward and pointed at the energy pistol. The lizard guards immediately raised their guns, fearing that Tang Shidao would do something dangerous.
"This is an energy gun that I just made. I'll use it to exchange for food. Listen, I want meat, the meat of strong beasts, not the meat of dead bodies by the roadside. If you let me eat the meat of a roadside corpse, next time, I'll give you a set of tactical mecha that will self-destruct at a fixed time. "Tang Shidao gestured, indicating that he could take the gun. 'If you dare to trick me, then just wait for your death.'
The lizard guard did not dare to put down his gun. He motioned for another guard to come over and carefully take away the energy pistol.
In less than half an hour.
A plate of fragrant barbecue was brought over, along with a bottle of sweet wine.
Tang Shidao carefully tried it. To his surprise, the perfect human taste could still play a little role. He could taste the meat of a magical beast similar to a lion. The wine was not brewed from plants. The ingredients came from a kind of giant ant and strange bee honey. The lizard with a mouth full of sharp teeth grinned and pointed with his finger. "You can eat like this for another twenty days, and then there will be no more."
"Okay." Tang Shidao recalled the information that could be found in the 'low-level authority' of the smart bracelet and knew that this transaction was not a loss.
Food was easy to grow in the Sin Galaxy.
However, due to the large population and the destruction caused by war, food was more valuable than some people's lives.
Arcana gold coins were popular here not because it was a magic material. There were no artifacts here, but because arcana gold could be exchanged for resources with people from the outside world, so arcana gold was used as a currency. In the real big transactions in the Sin Galaxy, all forces only used magic crystals as payment.
At this time.
On the other side, in front of the toadman, the energy pistol made by Tang Shidao was placed on his table.
"How is it, Master Gao?" The toadman asked the person next to him.
"Very good."
Sitting on the right was a man with broken scales and skin. His figure was similar to a human, but his skin was different. He was looking at the smart bracelet and evaluating the characteristics of the energy pistol. His clothes were very clean, even cleaner than the toadman boss's. There was an armband on both his sleeves: a hammer and a wrench, with three stars below.
Behind him stood a man with green skin and fangs, similar to a human.
His armband had two stars.
It seemed that he was Master Gao's assistant.
"It's actually two stars?" Master Gao was also surprised and said, "The technician's comprehensive craftsmanship system has evaluated it to be worth two stars. Although it's just a simple energy pistol, it increases the firing rate by 10% and increases the bullet capacity by 15%. Boss Toadman, you've picked up a treasure. You bought such a technician for 115 gold. "
"It's 1,500 gold." The toadman was someone who would believe his own lies.
"Well, okay, it's 1,500 gold. I don't know much about business, but this Tang Feng will be a good helper. If we can modify more powerful weapons, he will be very useful. "
Boss Toadman listened and nodded, but in his heart, he thought, Stupid, only low-end weapons are valuable.
It's okay to support your research on high-end weapons. Do it himself? Hehe, let's not talk about how much money he would need to invest. Even if he could really do it, would he be able to keep it? Maybe he would be a corpse the next morning. Low-end weapons were different. The craftsmanship was low, the cost was low, and the attention was low. Once the production was large, he could earn back all the money.
"Master Gao, do you think he can participate in the firearms modification assessment?" Boss Toadman needed an expert's opinion.
"Okay. I've checked. With his standard, it's not a problem for him to get a two-star technician. "
At this point, both parties were very happy and relaxed.
However …
Master Gao added, "If Tang Feng can get the title of 'Experienced', it's not a problem to transfer him over to help me research that ship cannon."
Boss Toadman was very surprised.
However, the two-star green-skinned man beside Master Gao was very surprised and not happy.
There was a trace of annoyance, a trace of resentment, a trace of determination, and a trace of savagery … His eyes flashed with several colors, but in the next second, they turned back into a normal smile. The two people beside him who were slightly excited did not notice at all. They only felt that they had found a treasure.
After a while.
"Tang Shidao, Boss asked me to bring you to take a bath and change your clothes." The orc guard came over and sent a message to Tang Shidao.
"What's the matter?"
"You have already passed. Boss Toadman …" The orc guard said a lot. Apart from explaining, he also revealed a lot of information. It was a joke to expect him to keep the secret. Without turning around, he had already revealed everything to Tang Shidao.
"Two-star? Yes, it shouldn't be a problem. "Tang Shidao nodded. In his heart, he was thinking that it would not be a problem to multiply this number by two, but he was too lazy to show off.
Under the lead of the guards.
The group of people walked slowly through the underground factory. Tang Shidao realized that the side was filled with human bodies in glass coffins.
"These are clone soldiers." The orc guard was really talkative. Perhaps he saw that Tang Shidao was going to stand up for him, so he tried his best to please him. "Boss Toadman's main business is arms. Clone soldiers are also a type. Some people with improved fertility are also produced here. They are specially sold to the merchants in the farms. You know that there is magic energy here and no diseases. Therefore, people are also a type of war consumable. "
Tang Shidao nodded.
Water Flower Planet was a poor and hungry place. Because of the lack of disease and genetic enhancement, there was a large population.
Nefas Galaxy was a high-tech area. There were also Ratmen, Lizardmen, and other reproductive races. It would be strange if there was a lack of soldiers. Thinking that Boss Toadman was in the arms business, it was not strange that he recruited a large number of technicians. No wonder he dared to be so arrogant.
Soon, they arrived at the bath.
The first thing they saw was a group of women of different races. They were all naked. Their clothes were gone. They only had a metal collar around their necks.
"Do whatever you like. It doesn't matter even if you kill them." The guards gestured.
"I don't like them. Ask them to leave." Tang Shidao waved his hand.
"Oh …" The guards were stunned. Then, they asked the women to leave. Perhaps they realized that Tang Shidao would be a noble. Some of the women knelt down and begged to be accepted. However, the guards grabbed their hair and threw them out. There was no such thing in Nefas Galaxy.
Tang Shidao could not care less. There were too many such people in Nefas Galaxy.
After the bath, he changed into a clean set of clothes.
Afterward …
The group of people drove to a fully mechanical intelligence center.
Boss Toadman had been waiting for news. Master Gao and his assistant 'Zirconium' were also waiting. Not long after, Boss Toadman's message rang.
"That's great. Boss, Tang Feng passed the two-star gun modification test."
"How many tests did he pass?"
"He passed all three within the time limit."
"Oh, he got 'Skilled Hands'?" Boss Toadman was excited. Passing all three tests meant that he could fight for the next star.
"No, not only that. Tang Feng got the title 'Fast Hands'."
"Ah! Good! That's great. All of you will get an extra ten days of pay! " Boss Toadman jumped up. He thought that 115 … oh no, 1500 gold ingots had really bought a treasure.
Master Gao was very happy to hear that. However, he did not notice that Zirconium's face had turned green.
Although he had green skin, there was a moment of madness and jealousy. Zirconium thought that he had worked hard for six years and barely passed two two-star tests. He was just barely qualified to be 'Skilled Hands'. It was not easy for him to become an assistant. He did not expect that a cheap new technician would snatch everything away.
This could not happen.
He had a share of the results of the modification of the ship cannon. He was the one who worked the hardest. He was even more hardworking than that damn pick-axe technician.
The results were his. An outsider could forget about taking the credit for it.
If the pick-axe technician was really hired, he would …
No matter what.
Boss Toadman personally drove the car to welcome Tang Shidao. He personally put on the two-star technician armband for Tang Shidao. He passed all three two-star tests and had the title of 'Fast Hands'. Boss Toadman believed that a 'three-star' talent was in sight. It was a pity. If he had known, he would have said '5,100 gold ingots' instead of '1,500 gold ingots'.
Seeing that Boss Toadman welcomed him personally, Master Gao added 'Tang Feng' to the ship cannon modification team.
Zirconium felt that something in his heart had exploded.
Two-star.
It was only a two-star.
It was only a two-star like him.
Why?
Why did you have such treatment but I did not?
This was not right!
All the glory should belong to me!
"Ship cannon? Well, I am not familiar with this. "Tang Shidao took a look and lost interest. The technical level was too low.
"It's okay. You can study our research results and understand."
Zirconium was in complete despair after hearing Master Gao's words. He remembered that he washed the floor and parts for two years before he could get close to the design table. He was only a bystander. He worked hard for five years before he became an assistant. Now, this cheap technician actually … Zirconium suddenly calmed down. His heart was as cold as iron. He looked at the people who were chatting and laughing. There was a look in his eyes that said 'all of you deserve to die'.
Tang Shidao was not very interested in the 'enthusiasm' of Boss Toadman and Master Gao.
Therefore, Tang Shidao inadvertently noticed that the expression of the assistant 'Zirconium' had changed! Although he did not know the reason, he saw that he was no longer as jealous as before. Most probably, he had a screw loose.
This Zirconium was pale and his heart was dead. Tang Shidao knew that he was in trouble.
