Everyone in the mechanical workshop was stunned by the man's words.
"He carved it wrong?" one of the dismantlers asked with a frown.
Although he did not understand carving, he still knew a basic principle.
If the carved circuits conflicted with one another, the collisions between electrons could easily cause the circuit board to explode.
By then, forget injuring the enemy—even keeping his own life would be considered lucky!
Incorrect carving was extremely taboo in mechanical repair, mechanical manufacturing, and similar work.
Because once the carving was wrong, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Should we stop him?"
Monte frowned slightly before asking.
The carver seriously watched Su Ming's technique and the circuits Su Ming was carving anew onto the damaged circuit board. A trace of confusion flashed through his eyes.
"Strange... Although his carving paths conflict with one another, once they're connected in series, they become unusually harmonious..."
The carver muttered to himself.
"Then is it dangerous or not?" Monte asked with a frown.
The carver shook his head and said, "I can't understand it. However, if you want to know the final result, we can reinstall and test it after he finishes carving!"
After hearing the carver's words, everyone turned their attention back to Su Ming.
Su Ming had already begun repairing the second component. He was still using the precision carving instrument, slowly carving patterns into the component.
What the others did not know was that faint sounds were continuously ringing out in Su Ming's mind.
"Ding... Disassembly successful. Obtained +1 Starlight Point."
"Ding... Disassembly successful. Obtained +1 Starlight Point."
"Ding... Repair successful. Obtained +1 Starlight Point."
What surprised Su Ming was that successfully repairing a component could also earn him Starlight Points.
Wouldn't that mean successfully repairing an entire weapon could directly earn him dozens of Starlight Points?
This logistics repair workshop was practically my paradise!
Su Ming was in high spirits. His hands did not slow down, and he soon repaired several more components. Adding the ones he had dismantled earlier, he instantly obtained 20 Starlight Points.
Looking at the component that had already been repaired in his hands, Su Ming did not hesitate and immediately began assembling it.
The mechanics around him had already gone numb. They stared blankly at Su Ming, who had just finished repairing the component and was now preparing to assemble it.
Fine... You can even reassemble machinery... Is there anything you can't do?
Reassembly was the most difficult step in repairing mechanical components.
Not only did every micrometer-level circuit have to be connected properly, but the gap between the two components also had to be kept below one micrometer.
It was extremely difficult and placed incredibly high demands on a mechanic.
Even Su Ming was fully focused during reassembly, seriously assembling the components in front of him step by step.
More than ten components were ultimately assembled into a single complete mechanical component.
When Su Ming finished assembling the mechanical component, the entire mechanical repair workshop unconsciously let out a collective sigh of relief.
Everyone had been watching Su Ming's operation. Seeing him finally assemble all the components successfully, they secretly wiped away their nervous sweat.
"It worked! I repaired the circuit system of the N-265 Electric Rifle!"
Su Ming smiled as he looked at the mechanical component in his hands, his heart filled with a sense of accomplishment.
Successfully repairing a damaged component and making it function as it should again—this was the charm of mechanical repair!
"Hm? What's wrong with all of you?" Only then did Su Ming notice that he had somehow been surrounded by everyone. Every person was staring at the mechanical component in his hands.
"Su... Su Ming, right? Why is the circuit carving in your component different from the original?"
The carver swallowed and asked in a soft voice.
Su Ming's performance just now had already left him dumbfounded. Even though he could tell that the circuit carving was different from the original, he still found it difficult to determine whether the mechanical component had truly been repaired.
"Oh~" Su Ming replied indifferently. "I felt that some parts of the original circuit weren't very reasonable, so I changed them a little."
"Weren't very reasonable? Changed them a little?" The carver could not help but smile bitterly to himself.
It sounded simple, but was incredibly difficult to do. It was equivalent to creating something new on the original foundation!
Without the level of a master, this was usually extremely difficult to accomplish.
"Do you have a test gun for the N-265 Electric Rifle? I'll install this circuit system and try it out!"
Su Ming could not help asking.
After hearing Su Ming's words, everyone came to their senses as if waking from a dream.
Right! Regardless of whether Su Ming had repaired it well or poorly, the best way to test it was to replace the corresponding component in the original weapon.
As long as it could reach more than 75% of the original power, it would be considered acceptable. At over 90%, it could be called a perfect repair.
Everyone hurriedly found a test gun from the warehouse and handed it to Su Ming.
Su Ming took the test gun and directly replaced its component with the mechanical component he had just repaired.
Su Ming then walked to the testing area and fired a shot at the test target.
"Zzz!"
A powerful electrical energy instantly gathered within the gun body before shooting out through the muzzle.
"Bang!"
A loud boom rang out, and the test target was knocked swaying.
However, the test target was made of super-composite material. Even after being struck until it swayed violently, it remained completely intact.
Soon, the test results were announced.
"Ding... N-265 Electric Rifle test results..."
"Power: 130% of the original value..."
"Energy storage time before firing reduced by 20%..."
"Projectile velocity increased by 20%..."
"Overall evaluation... The repaired component possesses 130% of the original performance!"
"Component quality: Excellent!"
Seeing the figures displayed line after line, every mechanic present immediately felt goosebumps rise all over their bodies.
The reason mechanical repair was called repair was that, even after a weapon had been repaired, its power would generally be somewhat inferior to its original intact state.
But now... the Electric Rifle repaired by Su Ming was actually even more powerful than it had been before the repair.
This was no longer repair.
This was creation!
He had created an entirely new circuit configuration for this Electric Rifle.
Everyone could not help turning their glowing eyes toward Su Ming.
Anyone capable of accomplishing this was undoubtedly a master in the field of mechanics.
Could this young man, who looked as if he had merely come here to go through the motions before heading home, actually possess master-level mechanical expertise?
Monte's breathing gradually quickened.
He had realized that his repair workshop might have struck gold!
