The First Evolution

Fang Linyan knew that it was useless to say anything at this time, so he pointed to a half-broken steel plate and said,

“I don’t want to explain anything. In fact, I prefer to speak with facts. Is this gray blast panel a job waiting to be done? If you are really short of manpower, why don’t you give me a chance?”

Ivan took a deep breath, looked at Fang Linyan helplessly, and then threw the welding gun to him,

“Then weld it for me! Immediately! I’ll give you 15 minutes!”

Fang Linyan took the welding gun, dazed for 10 seconds, and said shyly,

“Sorry, I don’t think I have ever used this type of welding gun… is there a manual?”

After hearing his words, Black Shield Laget’s body suddenly stiffened, and Feromone laughed loudly. His laughter was full of pride.

Fang Linyan shrugged and said,

“Oh, is this strange? I have only been exposed to welding guns above JL-800 before. This welding gun seems to be a limited edition for the military. It doesn’t matter. The time for debugging and reading the manual can be counted as 10 minutes.”

Instead, Feromone asked someone to send him the manual of this welding gun. At the same time, he said to Laget with a confident smile,

“Don’t worry, I am an honest person. I’ll let you lose convincingly.”

“Hey, Ruvel, if you have any reasonable requests, just ask. I will fully cooperate with you!”

Fang Linyan smiled at Feromone,

“Thank you, I just hope you don’t hate me later.”

Feromone laughed,

“Hahahaha, I hate you. Hahahaha, you are so funny!”

At this time, Laget looked at Fang Linyan with deep hatred. He walked up to Fang Linyan and whispered in a low voice,

“You bastard, I told you not to lie to me!! If I lose, I will let you and your companions die in the most painful way!”

Fang Linyan sighed and said,

“If you don’t want to lose, just get out of the way. I only have 15 minutes… No, 13 now.”

Seeing Fang Linyan’s confident presence, the muscles on Laget’s face twitched and he could only leave obediently.

10 minutes later.

An assistant came to find Engineer Ivan. He had already forgotten about Fang Linyan. He was surprised when he heard the assistant’s words,

“What? That guy had already fixed that damn blast panel?”

Then Ivan strode over. He stared at the half-meter long weld mark on the blast panel for a few seconds, then let out a series of roars,

“Oh! God, this is a disaster. Did you weld everything you can find?”

“The blast panel contains titanium-argon alloy. The most suitable welding method for it is gas metal arc welding. What the hell did you do? Did you just use manual arc welding?”

“Look at this ugly welding joint, it’s caused by insufficient temperature! Why don’t you use full power output!”

“There are even fish scale cracks here. How long did you preheat before welding? What? There was no preheating at all!! Listen, I won’t do such illegal operations again since the seventh grade!”

“…”

Listening to Ivan’s series of roars, Fang Linyan was very calm.

Although his welding skills were messy and almost all came from self-study and exploration, as a supporter of results-only theory, Fang Linyan believed that his work must be of high quality!

And to be honest, military stuff was easy to use. Taking this welding gun as an example. Its output power was at least twice that of the one he used before, but its weight was only 1/3. Otherwise, he would not be able to finish it so fast.

After Ivan finished his roar, Fang Linyan said calmly,

“Sir, I just looked through the relevant acceptance standards set by the consortium. This gray blast panel is standard equipment. It is placed on the third layer of armor.”

“The qualification standard should be that it can pass the FDC-3 test. The specific content is to use a standard 300KZ power electromagnetic rifle to fire a total of 12 rounds within 5 meters.”

“Four of them have an incident angle of 0 degrees, four of them have an incident angle of 30 degrees and 45 degrees, and four of them have an incident angle of 90 degrees. As long as it blocks 8 rounds, it is considered qualified. If it blocks 10 rounds, it is considered excellent.”

After hearing Fang Linyan’s words, Ivan finally looked at him seriously and said,

“Are you serious?”

Fang Linyan smiled and pressed his finger on the blast panel, feeling the various data transmitted by {Metal Touch}, and then said calmly,

“Of course, I have always been convinced of one thing, which is the final result! Although my welding technique has some flaws, I believe in its strength.”

Engineer Ivan squinted his eyes, looked at the gray blast panel carefully again, and then sighed,

“Honestly, this is the ugliest patchwork I’ve ever seen.”

Fang Linyan shrugged and said,

“Sir, this is a blast panel. Its purpose is to withstand the impact of an explosion. It has nothing to do with appearance. No matter how beautiful it is, would anyone want to date it?”

There was a touch of sarcasm in Fang Linyan’s words, but Engineer Ivan wasn’t offended, because he was a pure technician. He asked someone to bring a standard electromagnetic rifle, and the power was 200KZ.

Then he said to Fang Linyan,

“We are on an emergency maintenance mission this time, so we are very short on time. Therefore, the acceptance criteria can be lowered. If it can block half rounds of the 200KZ electromagnetic rifle, you will pass.”

Then naturally, the professional conducted the test. Clear shooting sounds came.

The final test results undoubtedly surprised Engineer Ivan and Feromone,

“What? The acceptance rate is 91%? Only one shot went through?”

After hearing the news, Laget, who was covering his face in agony, suddenly jumped up as if seeing hope,

“Engineer Ivan, he passed?”

Before Engineer Ivan could speak, Feromone had already roared loudly,

“How is that possible! This time the consortium made it clear that only mechanical engineers with Level 6 Special Welding Certificate can be recruited. How can this guy pass the test by just casually welding an ugly iron plate?”

Laget immediately retorted,

“Mr. Feromone, please read the document issued by the consortium carefully. It clearly states that engineers who can perform hull repair operations under sail are recruited/hired as soon as possible. There is no mention of Level 6 Special Welding Certificate!”

Feromone said angrily,

“Don’t engineers with the ability to repair hulls under sail have Level 6 Special Welding Certificates?”

Laget had the upper hand at this moment, so his words became mean,

“That’s not necessarily the case. Mr. Feromone, your mother and your father don’t have a marriage certificate. How did they give birth to you?”

Feromone was an illegitimate child, but because his father was going too crazy when he was young, he couldn’t give birth to a child after officially getting married. In the end, he could only take this illegitimate child home.

For this reason, he was severely ridiculed by other dignitaries at that time.

At this time, his scars were reopened bloody, Feromone’s face suddenly turned livid, and he was about to retort, but fortunately at this time Engineer Ivan had already looked at Fang Linyan and said with interest:

“Boy, you really seem to have some skills, but do you really have the ability to repair the hull under sail?”

Fang Linyan said,

“Actually, I’m a serious person. You can test me anything.”

Having said this, he paused and said to Laget next to him,

“By the way, in view of the previous incident with the welding gun, if you want to test the ability of the hull repair operation under sailing conditions, please get me a PE-7000 version of SCI. If not, then please at least get one with the similar operation.”

Fang Linyan passed the first test, which undoubtedly gave Laget some confidence. He immediately used his network, and then quickly replied,

“Is PE-8500 okay? It’s one and a half versions more advanced than what you asked for. As for the operation… let me ask?”

Engineer Ivan said,

“No need to ask. The SCI operating procedures for PE-sequences are similar.. There are no big changes.”

Fang Linyan said,

“That would be best.”

Engineer Ivan said with great interest,

“No, actually I also want to see to what extent an uncertificated guy like you can do!”

Soon, the SCI was brought directly over. Fang Linyan specifically asked to check it first.

He was involved in a bad now. The interests of both parties were at stake, so the opposing party would use any possible means.

For this reason, Laget was also very cautious. The first PE-8500 was rejected due to some minor flaws. Laget personally went to supervise the entire process of transferring the SCI, which made Feromone, who originally wanted to do some tricks, very anxious.

This time Laget got 3 SCIs at a high cost. Fang Linyan could choose one of them to use so as to avoid being cheated to the greatest extent.

Although there was the latest model of PE-8600, in the end, Fang Linyan chose the PE-8500 which was closest to the version he was familiar with. After trying it out, he found that this machine was more advanced than the PE-7000.

The operation was simpler, the various designs were more considerate, and the instantaneous output power was greater.

Therefore, in order to show off his strength to those who underestimated him, Fang Linyan immediately did something!

TL: Did what? Upgrade the Pe-8500 on the spot?
