Su Ming was confident, and immediately began reassembling the parts in his hands piece by piece.
The entire repair room was so quiet that no one dared even breathe loudly. Everyone stared at Su Ming with shocked expressions.
They had never seen anyone assemble something so quickly and casually.
Su Ming casually picked up a part, as if he were assembling a toy, and effortlessly fitted it together with the other parts.
"Can this really work?" A soldier swallowed nervously as he watched Su Ming's movements, his heart pounding.
Every step of the assembly process had to be handled with extreme care, with each part fitted precisely.
Yet Su Ming looked completely relaxed and casual. The parts were not even fully assembled, but he had already shifted his gaze to the other components on the workbench.
It was as if he were playing house. Anyone watching could not help worrying that Su Ming would fail on the very next step.
However... each time, after a nerve-racking process, the mechanical components were successfully assembled.
After seeing this, everyone exchanged glances, secretly astonished.
Being able to do this proved that... Su Ming's mechanical skill was probably higher than Planet level!
That was the only explanation for this casualness brought about by a difference in levels.
After roughly fifteen minutes, the Mechanical Battle Saber had been completely reassembled.
At that moment, the Mechanical Battle Saber emitted a powerful energy-level reaction, and its blade was surprisingly made of Star level material.
Su Ming had actually perfectly fused Planet level components with Star level blade material.
Everyone's eyes lit up faintly when they saw this.
Little Master Su Ming's skills were actually this extraordinary?
Locke was even wild with joy. He took the saber and swung it fiercely at the testing device.
It directly produced an energy level of 1,400 points!
One had to know that Locke himself had an energy level of less than 900, yet he had suddenly managed to unleash damage with an energy level of 1,500 points. Relying on the Mechanical Battle Soldier, he had forcibly added 500 points to his energy level.
This energy range was already the range possessed by a Level 4 Gene Warrior.
Locke was overjoyed.
Previously, he had only managed to unleash an energy level of a little over 1,000 with the saber at most.
But now, a casual swing had directly reached an energy level of 1,400.
Only Locke himself knew how astonishing Su Ming's mechanical reassembly technique truly was!
After seeing this, Su Ming nodded slightly and said, "Not bad. Go back and test the saber's specific data yourself. It shouldn't be bad!"
Su Ming had roughly estimated a value in his heart.
But for specific figures like this, it was naturally more accurate to have the system test them.
After assembling the Mechanical Battle Saber, Su Ming let out a soft breath. He then stood up and prepared to leave the workbench.
But when he looked up, he was instantly stunned.
At that moment, roughly forty or fifty soldiers were gathered around him, surrounding him in the center.
The soldiers were currently looking deeply at Locke with envious expressions before turning around and gazing at Su Ming eagerly.
Su Ming froze. He had been too focused on repairing the saber and had not noticed when the area around him had become packed with people.
"You are..."
Su Ming asked instinctively.
Hearing Su Ming's words, the soldiers forming a wall around him immediately looked at him with burning eyes, as if they were gazing at some peerless beauty.
The group of soldiers then crowded toward Su Ming one after another.
"Little Master Su Ming, I have a Planet level Ray Gun here. Could you help repair it?"
"Why call him Little Master? You should call him Grandmaster! Grandmaster Su Ming, my Anti-Energy Battle Armor is damaged. Could you help repair it?"
"You're all trying to get something for free? Grandmaster Su Ming, I have a Star Energy Mechanical Arm here. Could you help repair it? Just tell me how much merit you want. I'm not short on merit!"
"I'm not short on merit either. I'm willing to pay. I also have several Star level mechanical components here. Grandmaster Su Ming, why don't you install them for me while you're at it?!"
Although these soldiers were not mechanical engineers, their judgment was not poor.
After seeing Su Ming take out Star level mechanical components to modify the equipment, how could they not realize that even if Su Ming was not a Star level mechanical engineer, he had probably already set one foot into that level?
An engineer like this was impossible to find by chance. Even having him help modify mechanical components was already a favor!
Everyone had clearly seen the entire process of Su Ming's repair.
Although it was called a repair, it was not much different from reworking and creating it anew.
Judging by how Locke's face was practically splitting from his smile, everyone knew that the modified result was probably far beyond what an ordinary Planet level mechanical engineer could achieve through repair.
Their original expectations had only been for the equipment to reach its previous standard. But Su Ming had instantly exceeded those expectations, making all the soldiers burn with excitement.
Having one more powerful piece of equipment would not only increase their own combat strength, but also allow the equipment to accompany them for longer in the future. Even after they became stronger, it would not be eliminated.
Such a great thing was enough to excite the soldiers.
Su Ming was surrounded so tightly by the soldiers that not even water could pass through. He gave a wry smile as he looked at the human wall before him, wanting only to find a gap and squeeze out.
Fortunately, Zhong Li noticed Su Ming's predicament and immediately called out loudly to resolve the situation. "Make way, make way! Little Master Su Ming hasn't even received his military identification token yet. You can't give him any merit even if you want to. Wait until I take Little Master Su Ming back to his quarters and finish his paperwork, then go find him!"
After saying this, Zhong Li grumpily pushed the crowd apart. She then smiled at Su Ming and Warren and said, "You two Little Masters, I'll take you to your dormitory first!"
Hearing Zhong Li, Su Ming and Warren immediately breathed a sigh of relief. They fled to Zhong Li's side as if escaping, afraid that if they fell even half a step behind, the soldiers would surround them again.
Su Ming's forehead was drenched in sweat.
He had found the scene just now extremely difficult to handle. Even if he had to fight the Sea Blue Star People one more time, he would rather do that than face what had just happened.
At heart, Su Ming often kept his head down and repaired machinery. He was somewhat of a shut-in and socially anxious.
Seeing the expressions on Su Ming and Warren's faces, Zhong Li could not help letting out a soft laugh, secretly finding it amusing.
She then took Su Ming and Warren to their dormitory.
It was a very spacious double dormitory, with two workbenches set up in the center.
Clearly, this dormitory had been specially arranged for Planet level mechanical engineers.
It was perfectly suited to Su Ming and Warren's usual research and work.
Zhong Li glanced at Su Ming and Warren before smiling and saying, "Wait here for a moment. I'll go get your Identity Tokens. After that, whether you want to accept missions or check the Merit System, you'll be able to find everything on your Identity Tokens."
