I Have a Job

Chapter 256 How did you know?

Lin Xian and KIKI followed Stefan to the tent of the Phoenix Order's temporary camp. There were many electronic devices placed here. A large number of pipes were connected to these devices from the tent, and then more pipes of varying thicknesses were divided into more pipes connected to the giant Unit-01 on the edge of the cliff in the distance.

"It seems that they are still repairing the system?" Lin Xian said as he approached.

Shi Diyuan said: "I think most of the functions are still operational. For example, the power core of the mecha is intact. You just saw it start up. The purpose is to deter those monsters."

"This trick won't always work." KIKI said bluntly: "The strange body is very aggressive, it may not work at night."

"Why..."

Shi Diyuan sighed at this time: "Yes, we almost lost last night. The nuclear-powered turbine engine of Unit-01 burned all night. Fortunately, the terrain at the edge of the canyon we are guarding is relatively favorable, otherwise this place would have been lost. Judging from the current situation, our ammunition reserves may not last tonight."

He looked at Lin Xian and said, "Brother Lin, we are really destined to meet. We always meet at the critical moment of life and death."

Lin Xian said calmly: "For us survivors, every day is a matter of life and death. In fact, it's all the same, but it's true that we are destined to be together."

"Hahahaha." Shi Diyuan laughed heroically. He looked at Lin Xian meaningfully: "But don't say it. When I saw you, I had an inexplicable feeling that we would not die tonight."

Lin Xian felt ashamed. This old man put too much pressure on him, making him seem like a savior.

In fact, he was already in a headache as soon as he entered here. He clearly wanted to rely on his and KIKI's mobility to conduct reconnaissance, but he ended up walking into a wolf's den.

But if you insist, with KIKI's special ability, the success rate of escaping from the air with him may not be low. The flying special ability users of the Joker team can break through the encirclement, and maybe they can do it too.

But he could only suppress this thought in his heart for the time being. Since Stewart and the people of the Phoenix Society were all here, it was impossible for them to just leave. Moreover, he was also very interested in the Phoenix Society's imperial plan, and was currently thinking about how to break through.

"Captain Shi!"

At this time, a man in an interstellar sergeant's uniform and power armor ran over from a distance, followed by several soldiers covered in snow.

"The strange tide just came again? It's been less than three hours!"

"Hey, Captain Sun!" Shi Diyuan said hurriedly when he saw the visitor: "You came back so soon. It's okay. We have stopped this wave. There are no casualties for the time being."

Sun Kai is the captain of the armed guard company of the Emperor Project team. Two hours ago, he led a few soldiers down into the ice valley to look for other ways out. However, he did not expect that the frequency of the snow monster attack suddenly decreased again without any warning. A huge avalanche struck, and he and his men hid in an ice cave to avoid the avalanche before rushing back in a hurry.

Sun Kai glanced at the remaining defensive lines, and heaved a sigh of relief and said to Shi Diyuan: "Captain Shi, thanks to you guys, this should have been ours..."

"Well, why are you being so polite? In this period, we are all comrades-in-arms. Your armed company has suffered so many casualties. Aren't we here to help you?"

"Hey, these two are..." Sun Kai saw two new faces and immediately became excited: "Are you the support from Xilan City?"

"We didn't come from Xilan City." Lin Xian said directly.

Shi Diyuan cleared his throat and said to hide his embarrassment: "These two are my old friends, and they are also here to support me."

Sun Kai understood immediately after hearing this, with a flash of disappointment in his eyes. He looked at Lin Xian and KIKI helplessly: "I understand. Thank you very much for risking your lives to come and support us, but the current situation should involve you as well. I'm really sorry..."

"Captain Sun, you are too polite. Since we have encountered difficulties, let's just find a way to solve it together." Lin Xian said frankly.

KIKI also said: "That's right, who knew the situation here would turn out like this."

Shi Diyuan said quickly: "Yes, think on the bright side, there is strength in numbers. My brother Lin and sister KIKI are both powerful psychics, and they must have more ideas than before. Oh, where is Team Leader Yu? Come on, I'll introduce her to a precious talent."

"A person with superpowers?" Sun Kai frowned slightly when he heard that.

"This KIKI girl is a telekinetic psychic who can go up to the sky and into the ground. Just now, she was able to fight off a wave of monsters by herself. She is equivalent to ten heavy artillery pieces. I'm not talking about weight, hahahaha..."

Shi Diyuan said half-jokingly, and KIKI was stunned. He then pointed at Lin Xian and said, "And my brother Lin is a mechanical mutant who can repair machinery. Isn't that amazing? I think your Emperor Project must need such talents. Maybe he can fix this big guy, then we can rush out, right?!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Kai immediately looked at Lin Xian in surprise. This was the first time he had heard of mechanical abilities. And when Shi Diyuan mentioned that Lin Xian could repair machinery, he immediately became excited.

Lin Xian listened to Shi Diyuan bragging to him non-stop, and quickly spoke up to stop him.

"No, no, no, Brother Shi, didn't I just tell you that I'm not sure I can fix such a big mecha? I need to check it first."

Lin Xian's words made Sun Kai's hopeful expression sink again. He immediately calmed down, looked at Lin Xian with a scrutinizing gaze, and then said with some embarrassment: "If that's the case, then it's better not to look for Team Leader Yu. They are now busy studying the breakout plan and trying to repair some subsystems of Unit-01. I plan to take people to the Ice Valley again before sunset to see if I can..."

"Hey, hey, hey…" Shi Diyuan interrupted him: "Didn't I just say that my brother Lin is a mechanical mutant? Since we need to repair it, he can help, right?"

Lin Xian looked at Sun Kai at this time and found that he seemed a little embarrassed, so he asked directly: "Is it because it is inconvenient to keep it secret?"

The Emperor Project is a top-secret project of the Phoenix Society. Although the content of the plan has now been largely exposed, Lin Xian estimates that the secrets involved, such as the core assembly of the mecha, will also be kept strictly confidential. After all, the Phoenix Society's current enemies are not just the Dark Tide.

However, Sun Kai's next words made Lin Xian realize that his thinking was a bit narrow-minded.

Sun Kai glanced at the few people, took a deep breath, and said, "It is, but it's not entirely because of confidentiality. It's mainly because I think you won't be able to communicate and get any results."

"Ah, why?" KIKI frowned.

Sun Kai patted Fengxue on the power armor and said seriously: "If it is the Night Walker Organization, they must be very interested in you and your superpowers, but the people of the Emperor Project are completely the opposite. The reason why Phoenix City established this project is because some people firmly believe that relying on human technological revolution can lead human civilization to the dawn. You can understand it as different research routes. The Night Walker Organization studies superpowers and dark invasions, and the Emperor Project studies mechas and military weapons. Therefore, no one in the entire Emperor Project has superpowers."

"What!?" KIKI was speechless: "You Phoenix Society also have such disagreements, isn't this too much of a joke?"

"It's not really a disagreement."

Sun Kai shrugged and said, "The highest principle of our Phoenix Society is to ensure the survival of human civilization. This is the same for any plan or department. It's just that everyone's research directions are different. In fact, there is no connection or disagreement between the two departments. There is even cooperation in some special operations. For example, this time, there was a Night Walker team to protect the plan, but unfortunately they have already died. In the Night Walker organization, there are also various mechanized weapons and vehicles provided by the Emperor Project."

"Yeah, isn't that good?" Shi Diyuan said speechlessly, "What else can I say?"

"But directly intervening in the core research content of the other party's department is different. What's more, we are not members of the Night Walker Organization, so it is even more impossible. This is what Captain Sun means, right?" Lin Xian said with a clear mind.

Sun Kai smiled bitterly and nodded. He looked at Lin Xian and said, "Actually, this is the first time I've encountered such a situation. There are actually people in the world who are both supernatural beings and can get involved in the field of science and technology. It's simply..."

He couldn't find any words to describe it for a moment.

A person with special abilities, but his main job is driving a mecha.

I really don't know what the people from the Night Walker Organization and the Emperor Project would think when they saw this scene.

"I don't think so."

Shi Diyuan looked at Lin Xian with admiration: "Brother Lin proposed the traction plan when we were in the Yubei Sky Corridor. As a superpower, he solved the technical and mechanical problems that the technical team could not solve, and he was also a powerful fighter when fighting against those weird bodies. I think whether it is the top leaders of your Night Walker Organization or the Emperor Project, they will recognize and respect such talents. Anyway, if it were me, I would not have time to curry favor with him. What's more, now that life and death are at stake, there is no time to come up with rules and regulations. Only idiots would come up with such a set of rules!"

Shi Diyuan's words almost made Lin Xian and KIKI laugh, "Brother Shi, why don't we just forget it and think of another way." Lin Xian looked at the huge mecha in the distance and thought to himself that he would go and check it out first to get a rough idea.

Otherwise, discussions will go on and on without any result in the end, which is a waste of time.

Sun Kai hesitated for a moment after hearing this, and said directly: "How about this, I'll take you to talk to Team Leader Yu and the others. Just like Captain Shi and the others said, it's a matter of life and death now, and having a solution is always better than having no solution at all."

"That's right!" said Stephen loudly.

Lin Xian and KIKI made eye contact, and then without saying anything else, they followed each other into the tent.

Once entering the tent, the space inside suddenly became bright and open, and the biting cold wind was completely isolated. Inside was an open combat command center with an adequate heating system. There were more than twenty people inside, and both sides were filled with various computer equipment. Many technical team members of the Emperor Project were busy.

In the central area, there stands a metal operating cabin with a circular base. Countless pipes are connected like a spider web to a man wearing special operating armor in the cabin. On the screen next to it, various neuron docking status, the driver's vital signs, and hundreds of parameters of the Unit-01 mecha are displayed, which makes people's scalps tingle at the sight.

"The fully sympathetic neuron interaction system and neural synesthesia control technology look so cool." KIKI couldn't help but exclaimed as soon as he saw this scene.

Lin Xian nodded: "For such a large mecha, and a humanoid weapon, human neural synesthesia is indeed the best solution."

Sun Kai looked at the two of them in surprise and said, "It seems like you guys are really knowledgeable. Wait a moment, I'll go get Team Leader Yu to come over."

At this time, Captain Sun walked over and spoke a few words to a young man next to the metal operating cabin. The man immediately turned around and looked at Lin Xian and Shi Diyuan.

The man had a delicate face and wore gold-rimmed glasses. He looked less than 40 years old and his eyes were as sharp as lightning. When he saw Shi Diyuan, Lin Xian and KIKI beside him, their faces looked a little gloomy. After listening to Sun Kai for a while, he impatiently handed the mobile terminal in his hand to a staff member next to him, and then walked quickly towards them.

"Team leader Yu is the temporary head of this group. Their original team leader died a few days ago. He is the deputy team leader. He was previously in charge of the technical team. He is a sour intellectual." At this time, Shi Diyuan suddenly whispered in Lin Xian and KIKI's ears.

Lin Xian nodded slightly when he heard this, and he probably understood the other person's character.

"Hello, Yu Yuheng." The man wearing gold-rimmed glasses walked up to Lin Xian and stretched out his hand to him with a cold expression.

"Lin Xian, KIKI." Lin Xian introduced himself.

Yu Yuheng looked at the two of them, nodded and said, "Thank you for your help. I heard that you are a mechanical superpower. I wonder what the specific characteristics of your superpower are?"

"My ability allows me to repair and manufacture machinery."

Lin Xian looked at Yu Yuheng and went straight to the point, then raised his hand to perform mechanical manufacturing.

In an instant, a light curtain appeared, and countless materials flew out and began to be forged and assembled. Soon, a sophisticated small drone appeared in Lin Xian's hand. Its four rotors were running rapidly, flying quietly above the palm of Lin Xian's hand.

At this moment, Yu Yuheng and the researchers from the surrounding technical team were all shocked when they saw this scene.

"This...creating out of thin air?!" Yu Yuheng frowned. Even though he was knowledgeable, such a supernatural power still shocked him.

As a core technician of the mecha team, he certainly realized what it meant to create a sophisticated small drone out of thin air.

Don't underestimate it as just a small drone. The core components it contains involve at least 15 sub-sectors and more than 30 related supporting industries in the society before the Apocalypse. A simple power system includes motors, speed regulators, battery packs, propellers, not to mention flight control systems, radars, gimbals, sensing payloads, cameras, infrared sensors, lidars, image transmission systems, cooling modules, etc.

But this is not the end. Lin Xian directly grabbed the drone and broke one of the rotors with his hand. Then he operated the mechanical repair machine. In the light curtain, the broken rotor seemed to be reshaped by an invisible 3D printer and restored to its original state.

To make it easier to understand, the drones manufactured by Lin Xian are just small drones used for reconnaissance and are simple to build.

This time, the people in the Emperor Project No. 1 team were completely stunned.

"What kind of ability is this?"

"It's too outrageous."

"A human flesh factory?"

Yu Yuheng raised his glasses repeatedly. His breathing became heavier and his lips were dry. He was stunned for half a minute before he reacted. He was originally planning to politely refuse the participation of Lin Xian and KIKI, the two psychics, but he was now more curious.

"Can you make something bigger, for example, this..." Yu Yuheng walked to the side, picked up a mobile terminal, found a picture and handed it to Lin Xian.

"This thing is called a phase conduction prism. A single unit weighs 12 tons. It has a very complex structure and also contains polycrystalline information element pipelines..."

Lin Xian frowned when he heard this: "If you have a blueprint, you can, but it will take time and materials."

"How long?" Yu Yuheng asked.

"For a component this big, it will take at least eight hours," Lin Xian said.

Yu Yuheng's face changed when he heard this. He frowned and sighed, then looked at Lin Xian: "You are very capable and an absolute creative talent, but... I'm sorry, if you can't make this in a short time, I can't help you much."

He lowered his eyes as he spoke, and as if convincing himself, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I said that there is still a certain logic in the creation of all things. If it is just to manufacture products with corresponding blueprints, although it is a supernatural power, it is essentially something that our industrial production lines can do. If it is in the wild and there is enough time, it is indeed convenient, but in this case it does not solve any core problems."

Yu Yuheng said as he looked at Lin Xian: "I am actually very curious about you psychics, but I also know that the use of your psychics is essentially related to a certain energy threshold in the body. The people of the Night Walkers Organization call it mental power or soul value or something... Whatever it is, now except for those few special people in the world, it seems that most of them are still in the growth stage. According to the current growth progress, they are level 3 to 4. According to the evaluation standards of the Night Walkers Organization, it seems to be like this... What I mean is, even if you can repair it, the size of Unit-01 is too big for you. Logically speaking, you shouldn't be able to handle it. However, there are some key parts that you may be able to help with..."

Lin Xian and the other two couldn't help but frown as they listened to Yu Yuheng's conversation.

Yu Yuheng's words seemed to reveal a lot of information, but Lin Xian did find some key points in his words. It seemed that in the eyes of these scientists, the superpower values ​​of psychics showed a certain growth curve.

Therefore, Yu Yuheng believed that even if Lin Xian had creative ability, it would be impossible for him to accomplish a creation of the level of Unit-01 in a short period of time. Even if there was a blueprint, it would still be within the scope of industrial production.

He was right about part of it. Lin Xian's current mechanical manufacturing and machine devouring ability was indeed at level 4. With his ability, he was indeed unable to repair such a large machine in a short period of time. Not to mention repairing it, even the scanning operation would be a huge test for him.

KIKI got anxious when he heard this: "Hey, after all this time, you haven't told us what happened to your Unit-01, which systems are broken, and whether it can be repaired. We don't know how to help you."

Yu Yuheng raised his glasses and said, "Sorry, the other problems are more serious than the component I just mentioned. Since the simplest one cannot be solved, I will not talk about the others based on the principle of confidentiality, but..."

He looked at Lin Xian and said, "Mr. Lin, if we can get out alive this time, I will upload your information to the report. Our Emperor Project may be interested in your abilities in some manufacturing aspects, such as the manufacturing factory. The current environment of our manufacturing factory is very safe, which may be a good place for you. Moreover, the salary is not bad."

Manufacturing factory?

Lin Xian was stunned when he heard this. In their eyes, his ability was only that of a humanoid 3D printer?

"Hey, hey, hey, are you really that mysterious? It's already this time."

KIKI was dissatisfied with Yu Yuheng's mysterious set, and raised her chin towards the driver wearing the control equipment inside and said, "Isn't it just a fully symbiotic neuron interaction system, neural synaesthesia driving technology, the height of the mecha is 90-115 meters, the power core should be a dual-nuclear fusion reactor turbine processor, two-person neural synaesthesia driving, the control system and AI quantum core should be developed separately, there is a compound multi-aperture array wave radar on it, the legs are equipped with hydraulic power distributors, and 500KT gyro stabilizers should be used. The joints are KKG-level high-agility torque drives. In order to achieve physical agility and balance with such a large size and weight, there are at least more than 4,000 muscle units, each muscle unit is equipped with 2 magnetic control engine groups, then let me guess, the ankles are equipped with magnetorheological dampers and are equipped with 04FSX-level cooling exhaust/water outlets..."

"There are also weapons. In addition to the foldable high-frequency blade chain sword, the extreme energy capacitor in the right hand is obviously equipped with a plasma cannon. There may also be a hidden missile vertical launch system, an orbital incinerator cannon, an ultra-high voltage pulse electric hammer, balabalabala..."

As she spoke, the faces of the technical team members behind Yu Yuheng became darker, and their expressions became complicated as they looked at the petite girl.

Yu Yuheng's pupils dilated at this moment, and he looked at KIKI in disbelief, saying: "You...how do you know all this?"

KIKI crossed his arms and said impatiently, "These are the directions for military technology research and development. This big guy should be the culmination of our current human technology. It's impossible to suddenly break through Zenith Star technology in a few months and directly evolve from a space propulsion system to a space curvature engine accelerator, right?"

"No." Yu Yuheng looked at KIKI solemnly: "I mean, how do you know so much about these top-secret research projects?"

KIKI's expression froze when she heard that. Only then did she realize that she had let the cat out of the bag. Her big eyes rolled around. She glanced at Lin Xian and quickly covered up, "I... used to like some military fan and technology forums."

Lin Xian almost laughed out loud, Technology Forum, you have hacked directly into the original federal system and even stole the blueprint of the GK03 electric knife. What else don't you know?

Yu Yuheng and Sun Kai looked at KIKI very suspiciously at this time. It sounded like this little girl knew more than a military spy, and it was hard not to be suspicious.

Click, chi.

At this time, the man in front, who was wearing heavy operating armor, made automatic unloading sounds from various parts of his body. Several small robotic arms stretched out and precisely disassembled the mechanical operating parts one by one. At this time, a tall man in camouflage short-sleeved shirt walked down from the control console, and the staff on the side hurriedly handed him heavy winter clothes and coats.

Immediately, the man came over vigorously while putting on his clothes, and asked Yu Yuheng and Sun Kai coldly: "Who are these two people?"

"A mechanical mutant who came to support us." Yu Yuheng said, "Maybe he can help us make some key parts."

Upon hearing this, Chen Wei glanced at Lin Xian and KIKI indifferently, and then said to Yu Yuheng in a cold voice: "Let them go somewhere else to help, and don't come here to cause trouble."

After saying this, he left with a cold look on his face, as if to keep strangers away.

Yu Yuheng also looked at Lin Xian at this time, gave him a helpless smile and walked away. Then Sun Kai had to bring the three of them out of the tent.

"Who is this guy? He's so arrogant. We're here to help, but why does he act so awesome?" KIKI was furious with Chen Wei's attitude.

"Oh, he is the pilot of this mecha, his name seems to be..." Shi Diyuan frowned and said, "Chen something..."

"Chen Wei." Sun Kai followed the three of them and sighed.

"This Unit-01 is piloted by him and his brother Chen Lie. Both of them were ace fighter pilots of the interstellar army. Now they are mecha pilots with a level 5 common coefficient and the first batch of pilots of the Emperor Project. Their tempers... are a bit bad."
