Qu Jianlei was sitting on the starship, looking at the starport outside the porthole window, feeling a little lost for a moment.
He really didn't expect that after just over half a year, he would be able to Great Ming board the starship so generously.
As for my boss, besides being fond of money, he really has no problem doing things. He did this very well today.
Precision This factory is indeed not big, and the boss is only Rank C Warrior, but his connections are really good.
The boss even obtained information about the starship captain and gave him a copy before leaving.
"After boarding the starship, if you need anything, go to him and say that he is Bigge's friend. You can give him some money if necessary."
For this reason alone, Qu Jianlei forgave this person for exploiting him - it was always a fight and a fight.
However, the riding conditions this time were not so good.
He ordered a cheap starship, which could carry more than 500 passengers at a time, and the space was very cramped. Cargo Hold was actually bigger.
The room he is in now is a six-person room, with three bunk beds and life-saving cabins next to each other.
Even to wash up and go to the toilet, there are public washrooms and toilets, and the air is a bit dirty.
But there was no way. As a debt-ridden former gambler, it was doubtful that he could afford the boat ticket.
If he dares to buy a business class cabin at this time, his boss will probably not agree to guarantee it.
Qu Jianlei bought a lower berth, and the other five berths were for a family of four, a middle-aged man and a young woman.
Two children in a family of four only count one ticket and will share one Life Support Pod during the transition.
Middle-aged men and young women are in the same group. The men are relatively well-dressed, while the women are a bit promiscuous, but she is the dominant one.
Qu Jianlei has no intention of going into detail about this. For him, arriving at the destination safely is the most important thing, and the rest is not important.
The starship finally took off on time, and Qu Jianlei secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It would be impossible for him to come back Sky Hook in the next three to five years.
In fact, he was a little reluctant. He communicated quite well with Qinghu, and the other party even invited him to go to Maiden Star Region.
But Jie Lei's exposure forced him to start his escape again, which was indeed a pity.
After the starship passed the lift-off period, its flight became stable and the cabin became active.
Two children were playing, and four adults were chatting.
The couple didn't seem to care much about foreign affairs. They just said from time to time that the woman cared more about their two children.
The other two men, a man and a woman, were a little more lively. The middle-aged man looked a bit like Social Butterfly. He could chat with anyone and was very interested.
The promiscuous woman is a little more arrogant and only chats with middle-aged men and men in couples.
However, although she is a bit flirtatious, her outfit does not look cheap, and her words are somewhat bossy.
Qu Jianlei didn't want to be bothered at all, so he leaned there and took a nap.
The woman tentatively said a few words to him, and finally closed her mouth angrily.
But the man was really patient. After a while, he said a few words to Qu Jianlei without any embarrassment.
Just like this, time passed without realizing it.
One day later, the radio in the cabin rang, "An important message is being played now, an important message is being played."
"The jump engine repair Mechanical Arm has a minor fault. The jump engine repair Mechanical Arm has a minor fault."
"Passengers with relevant majors, please come and help. Passengers with relevant majors, please come and help."
When Feng Chen Nu heard this, her face turned pale, "Is this going to cause an accident?"
The wife was trembling all over, but she held the two children tightly in her arms, as if she was holding up the entire universe for them.
The husband also had a pale face and said with a wry smile, "Fortunately, the whole family is here, but... I didn't buy enough insurance."
It was obvious that he was trying to create a relaxed atmosphere, but unfortunately the joke was a bit too cold.
His wife glared at him before she was about to speak. The middle-aged man spoke up, "It's not a problem, it's a glitch."
The wife immediately stopped caring about the attack and asked eagerly, "Is the problem really not a big deal?"
The middle-aged man talked eloquently, "The Mechanical Arm responsible for maintenance is just malfunctioning, not the main Mechanical Arm."
"Mechanical Arm's malfunction is a trivial matter. How important is it to Mechanical Arm in interstellar navigation?"
The wife still looked worried, "Mechanical Arm is responsible for repairing the jump engine, what if something breaks down during the jump?"
The middle-aged man answered lightly, "There was a malfunction during the jump, and Mechanical Arm was not available in time."
"This Mechanical Arm is a fault that was discovered before the jump and can be repaired in time."
He spoke plausibly, but his wife was still worried, "What if a fault is discovered before the jump?"
"Let's go back," the man replied casually, "But it will cost a lot of money to return, so the starship is looking for someone to help repair it."
The husband finally calmed down and sneered, "Haha, that's it for low-priced starships."
The wife glared at him fiercely, "Aren't you stingy? I don't want to take this low-priced starship."
The husband smiled coquettishly and said, "Isn't it okay? I'm frugal and take my family on a trip, but that's wrong?"
Qu Jianlei did not participate in the argument, he just squinted his eyes and took a nap. He knew in his heart that what the middle-aged man said was roughly right.
A few people were making a noise when a beautiful flight attendant pushed the door open and said, "Is Mr. Tesla here?"
Qu Jianlei Hearing this, he opened his eyes helplessly, "I am, is there something wrong?"
"The captain said that you have extensive maintenance experience," the flight attendant replied very politely, "I want to ask you for help."
Qu Jianlei couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth when he heard this, "My boss... really knows how to do business."
He thought that the boss just sold himself a favor, but to his surprise, he also sold a favor to the captain! Well, it's not a favor. After all, starships rarely have problems during interstellar voyages.
This is like the Shenzhou football team promising to a certain country that if we qualify early, we can negotiate a few goals for you.
But no matter what, he had to accept the boss's business acumen, and he could actually sell favors on both sides.
The beautiful flight attendant obviously didn't understand this person's background, but there was no way she wouldn't listen to the captain's orders.
That is the man who can make her experience all kinds of knowledge.
She tried her best to smile and said, "The captain said that he will reward you with a free return ticket. If you have made a significant contribution, you can be considered separately."
The husband couldn't help but mutter in a low voice, "Haha, on a low-priced starship, does it matter if there is one more person and one less person?"
Qu Jianlei frowned, and finally nodded reluctantly, "."
It's really not a matter of money. After all, he is also a passenger on the starship.
And... if he really had to return, that was something he absolutely didn't want to see.
The captain is a handsome young man in his early forties. He seems to have some aura, but his words and demeanor are quite polite.
Qu Jianlei checked Mechanical Arm and found... there was a slight air leak! Don't get this wrong. A starship is a starship, not a Blue Star shipgirl, let alone a simulated shipgirl.
The empire's technology is relatively advanced, and the operation terminal of Mechanical Arm relies heavily on gas lubrication and drive.
Specific details... I won't add water. Anyway, the air leakage is just like the leakage of the hydraulic column of Blue Star.
Once the liquid leaks, Mechanical Arm will inevitably not be silky enough, the friction will increase and it will be easily damaged, and the driving power will also be reduced.
In short, it's not a big problem, just a small flaw in the terminal link.
But it involves more than just lubrication, but also driving, and it cannot be simply regarded as a minor problem.
"Just fill up the gap," Qu Jianlei really doesn't think it's a big problem.
But he wanted to emphasize one point, "I am only good at finding defects and filling gaps. It is still up to the captain to arrange."
The captain said that there was no problem. There were maintenance workers on the starship, but the starship maintenance technician did not come out this time.
But cheap starships... are normal. The repairman's fees are not low. Of course, compared to the income of a starship voyage, this amount of money is nothing. The key is... you can't do it, right?
Cheap Starship earns just this hard-earned money. It is said to be a Starship company, but it must be frugal in all aspects, otherwise it will not make money.
The accompanying maintenance man can perform simple repairs, but is a bit incapable of finding faults.
It was impossible for Qu Jianlei to show too much ability. It took three hours to find the fault using the tools that came with the starship.
The repair took longer, five hours, and the results were fantastic.
Qu Jianlei After confirming the results, he returned to the cabin on crutches.
The captain originally intended to put him in business class, but he didn't want to attract any attention and politely declined.
Returning to the crowded cabin and facing the dirty air, he felt a little regretful.
Especially those few who kept asking him what happened.
He answered a few words dryly, and everyone saw that he was really "dull" and finally stopped disturbing him.
Qu Jianlei then closed his eyes to rest, but less than an hour later, the starship shook violently.
He also slowly opened his eyes and smacked his lips speechlessly: Why is my luck so bad? Two minutes later, the starship's broadcast rang again.
"We regret to inform all passengers that we encountered Space Pirate."
"For everyone's safety, please do not resist. We will work hard to ensure your personal safety."
The couple was stunned for a moment, and the wife cursed angrily, "The starship didn't resist? Isn't this allowing Space Pirate to rob?"
The husband sighed and replied in a low voice, "That's it for a cheap starship."
Passenger Starship is indeed a defensive weapon, but it is cheap... it's hard to describe it in one word.
At Buduo, the starship shook slightly again, and then the emergency hatch opened and a dozen guys with masks rushed in.
The one at the head was Rank C Warrior, holding Gauss Rifle and speaking loudly.
"Good-hearted people, we are just trying to make a living, and we are just looking for a fortune... Living is better than anything else, right?"
The next moment, he pulled the trigger, and with a bang, it penetrated the thigh of a passenger.
