Since they were talking about it, Xian Zhu did not mind saying a few more words. "As far as mechanic soldiers are concerned, it is better not to unlock the Machine Core's Skill Tree. It's bad luck."
"Ah?"
"When you were learning repair skills, didn't your teacher mention it?"
"...No."
Liang Lu taught me my repair skills, and Officer Gou Ye and you gave me pointers too. None of you said anything!
"Then he really was careless. Broadly speaking, those who first study repairs and then study Machine Cores either switch professions midway and rise to great heights—that is the minority—or they study until there is nothing left of them. I've seen quite a few over the years... Consider it an industry taboo. It's enough that you know."

But a non-standard Machine Core like the observation station's requires special customization. In theory, once the repair progress is synchronized and the relevant data is sent over, production should begin more or less immediately. It just takes time to manufacture.
"Besides, lucky fellows like you, who can have an escape pod fall from the
