"Hello, Worker Zhai." Luo Nan greeted politely, but he soon blinked his eyes. He felt that this maintenance technician was a bit familiar.
Furthermore, he noticed that Worker Zhai seemed to be sizing him up as well. Worker Zhai's gaze wasn't directed at his face. Instead, it lingered on the notebook between his elbows.
Their eyes met again. Worker Zhai smiled and continued, "There are no relevant records of the product sent by the customer for repair. Preliminary confirmation is that it's a D.I.Y. product … Speaking of which, this student seems to like this kind of thing?"
Luo Nan was startled. He looked at where Worker Zhai's gaze landed, and memories from the depths of his brain were flipped to the surface. He suddenly realized why Worker Zhai's face felt so familiar. He had indeed seen it before. Last month, he had a conflict with Li Xuecheng and his gang, and his flexible e-ink screen was trampled. Taking advantage of the Precision Electronics Interest Club's club activity, he wanted to repair it. It was this Worker Zhai who had disassembled the flexible e-ink screen, allowing Luo Nan to discover the external neuron.
He remembered that he had behaved rather rudely in a moment of desperation. Fortunately, this Worker Zhai had a good temper and did not hold it against him.
Luo Nan revealed a smile as well. "Ah, Worker Zhai works here. Many thanks for the other day …."
"What are you thanking me for? All I did was dismantle and reassemble it once, nothing else. By the way, is that board fixed? "
Luo Nan didn't know how to answer the question. While he was stunned, Worker Zhai changed the topic. "What you brought today is also a D.I.Y. product. There's no ready-made manual to refer to, so it'll be more troublesome to repair. Currently, the number of visitors in the center hasn't reached the maximum, so I suggest you apply for a special service. It'll be much faster. "
D.I.Y？ In other words, it wasn't mass produced …
Luo Nan was a bit surprised, but he felt that this was reasonable. Apart from the dojos, he had never seen such a Tai Chi ball. He felt that its range of application was relatively narrow.
Before he could respond, Crag Burst asked the maintenance consultant at his side: "This counts as an impromptu upgrade, right? What's the price?"
The pretty maintenance consultant explained softly, "The two gentlemen have been booked by someone else on their behalf. All expenses for today will be borne by that customer. As for the 'exclusive service', it was mainly to move from the current open workbench to an independent studio to satisfy the need for privacy. It's still within the scope of the client's authority, so there's no need for additional expenses. "
"Is that so? Papercut is being so generous. Let's not be unreasonable. Let's just turn. "Crag Burst simply overstepped his boundaries and helped Luo Nan make the decision.
Luo Nan had no objections.
"Then, let's enter the proprietary service mode. Workshop number 245, please follow the maintenance consultant and wait. "Worker Zhai, who was on the other side, performed a series of operations and waited for the reserve maintenance technician to arrive and take over his duties.
Luo Nan and Crag Burst followed the pretty maintenance consultant. They passed through the open hall and arrived at a completely sealed workshop. The layout here wasn't too different from the outside. The only difference was that there were a few more facilities, but it was even more cramped. A big guy like Crag Burst felt a bit suffocated.
Just as he was mumbling to himself, a transmission channel suddenly opened on the operating platform. The mechanical device that Luo Nan had sent for repair was fixed onto a special support. It was transported over and placed in front of the center of the operating platform.
This mechanical device was the core of the Taichi Dojo's Tai Chi Ball. It was spherical in shape and about the size of a fist. The outer layer was a very thin metal mesh, and the inside was a device similar to a gyroscope. At this time, on the special support, the outer metal net was constantly expanding and shrinking, but that was all.
Crag Burst clicked his tongue twice: "Isn't it troublesome to send it back and forth?"
As he spoke, he pulled Luo Nan forward to observe the device.
The maintenance consultant had told them before that an independent workshop was different from the outside. Customers could directly enter the operating platform and observe from a close distance. They could even operate the device with the permission of the maintenance technician. Some D.I.Y. enthusiasts wanted this sort of atmosphere. They flocked like ducks to this place.
Luo Nan was mechanically illiterate. He had no concept of operating anything, but Crag Burst had served in the Coastal Defense Force for many years. He could be considered half an expert. However, he never paid attention to what Luo Nan had sent for repair. Now that he saw it up close, he said, "This toy looks quite familiar. It looks like, it looks like … … a hovering target?"
"The prototype should be the Piya Corporation's Comet Model III hovering target. It's a very old model. It was introduced to the market ten years ago." Worker Zhai entered from another employee passageway and continued Crag Burst's conversation.
Crag Burst snapped his fingers: "Yes, it's the Comet Model III. The gyroscope in the middle is actually an AI hub. It's special and it's very durable. When I was in the military, I could use it for a long time with a random target shell. It's easy to repair. "
"The Comet Model III isn't hard to repair, but this product is a bit different."
Worker Zhai walked to the side of the two. He wasn't tall; he was about the same height as Luo Nan. He had a friendly smile. But when he stood in front of the operating platform and activated the relevant privileges, all sorts of maintenance and testing equipment started up one after another. They made fine adjustments according to his position. The entire workshop seemed to revolve around him.
"Tsk. This room of equipment can't be bought for a million." Crag Burst turned his head to look all around with a very curious appearance.
Worker Zhai answered, "The standard workshop's configuration price is 7.5 million. After eight years of depreciation. I've added a few personal equipment here. It's convenient to use … … Look. There are at least two areas of this hovering target that have undergone major repairs. "
Crag Burst moved closer and discussed with Worker Zhai, "I just saw one area. The outer shell of the target has been removed and replaced with a metal net. I don't know what it's used for. "
"It's a fixed support, right?" Luo Nan relied on his memory to compare the diameter of the tai chi ball to the size of the hovering target. He felt that there were some differences. He then looked at the metal net that was constantly expanding and contracting, and he made a few guesses.
"Fixed?" Worker Zhai thought for a moment, but he didn't ask further. Instead, he gestured for the two to look over. "The net is just an accessory. The core problem doesn't lie here."
As he spoke, he performed a few operations on the support. It was unknown how he did it, but he actually removed the metal net and placed it to the side. All that was left was a gyroscope-like object in the center. The gyroscope's rotor didn't move at this time, and the inner and outer frames were placed there in a well-behaved manner.
Worker Zhai then controlled the mechanical arm, including the probe, and other objects, to disassemble the gyroscope. The difficulty of disassembling the gyroscope this time seemed to be quite a bit lower than the flexible e-ink screen from back then. Within a short minute, the three heard a slight clicking sound. It seemed that some sort of mechanism had been activated. The gyroscope's central axis was disassembled from the top to the bottom, revealing an object that looked like broken glass.
Next, Worker Zhai operated the mechanical arm and used special tweezers to pluck the object out. He placed it on a miniature support and slightly secured it.
It could be seen at this time that the object's outer appearance was actually quite regular. It was rhombohedral, and it had clearly undergone precision processing.
"A central control chip?" Crag Burst asked in a low voice. His breathing slowed down a bit, afraid that he would blow this thing away.
Luo Nan didn't speak. He just narrowed his eyes.
