Chapter 23 The next stop(1/2)
Huang Siwan came to the workbench and was so angry that he saw it: "Old Chen, you are really not afraid of death. You have used avant-garde materials to mess with them. Can't you be honest for two days? Do you really want to be Chen Shiwan?"
Chen Sanwan showed a martyr-like smile: "As a mechanical engineer, designing and manufacturing is like breathing instinct. I did not take a vacation when I got on my boss's boat."
Speaking of this, Chen Sanwan was also very emotional: "It's a pity that the mechanics and manufacturing work on this ship were basically handed over by the boss. I, a senior engineer, are like a mascot of holographic projection on this ship, and can only be seen but not moved."
"Are you the mascot?" Huang Siwan mocked him, and also leaned over to touch the robotic arm.
Chen Sanwan said angrily: "Don't touch it with dirty hands!"
"Then I'll report it."
Chen Sanwan immediately softened: "Old Huang, please read it casually. If you have any opinions and suggestions, please give me some advice."
Huang Siwan took back his hand after hearing this, leaned against the workbench for a long time and asked, "Old Chen, I have nothing to be picky about in your skills. I am worthy of being a master who can cooperate with my boss. I only have one question."
Chen Sanwan was shocked: "You said."
"What's the use of this robotic arm you have carefully crafted?"
Sean nodded when he heard this. He sat in front of the workbench for so long, and the biggest problem in his heart was this: although this robotic arm is extremely exquisite and has complex functions, it seems that no function is necessary.
For example, 7 special can openers integrated between the five fingers, 3 sets of self-washable tableware, 2 sets of tooth utensils, a complete set of fillable compressed bathing cosmetics, and two novel chips that permanently solidify memory.
Chen Sanwan said with confidence: "I didn't become a mechanic in order to pursue usefulness. Isn't this robotic arm beautiful? Isn't it artistic? Isn't it clever? In comparison, what is practicality??"
"No wonder you have such good skills, but your boss picked you up as Chen Sanwan." Huang Siwan ignored him and laughed at 50 steps. After putting down his robotic arm, he began to look at Sean again.
After a while, he said, "Sean, right? Isn't it a local? Don't worry, unless you are willing to say it, the people on the boat will not inquire about each other's life experiences, but your appearance as an outsider cannot be hidden from others. So should you come to our side? My group of people are all outsiders, and everyone may have a common language."
Sean doesn’t care about his belongings. Isn’t it the same where to work and pay back the money?
Huang Siwan said, "With Chen Sanwan's laser brain, you are afraid you will grow from Xiao Baiwan to Xiao Qianwan. The core engineering department of Beihe Freight is the backbone of the core engineering department, with an annual salary of 2 million yuan and company stocks, and has become the number one smoke gun in the silver. He is heavily in debt. Do you think about this place yourself? It's different from us. I'm going from Huang Shiwan to today..."
Chen Sanwan said coldly: "I have been going through the road for five years, with an average annual income of 12,000 Qiankun coins. Your side is really a Feng Shui treasure land."
Huang Siwan said angrily: "It's not your turn to laugh at me for these fifty steps!"
Sean pointed directly at the core and asked, "How should I pay off my debts on the ship?"
Huang Siwan raised his eyebrows: "The boss didn't tell you? There are detailed standards, please wait a moment and I'll find it to you."
After a while, Huang Siwan took out a "Salary List" from his tablet computer around his waist, and saw that the screen listed various tasks in detail: driving a spacecraft to participate in battle, collecting minerals in the asteroid belt, sorting business documents, and cutting raw potato skins in the spacecraft's kitchen... All work content is available, and they are strictly corresponding to remuneration.
As long as you complete the work according to the content of the list, you can gradually reduce your debts. The only problem is...
Huang Siwan sighed: "The boss is a meticulous person, do you understand?"
Sean nodded. The reward numbers on this list were really detailed. Regardless of the work that could be completely automated, even if it became the main pilot of the spacecraft to participate in the battle, if it was just a low-intensity battle, the single reward would not exceed 500 Qiankun coins.
This price is about the same as the daily after-tax salary of ordinary white-collar workers in Qiankun Group.
Chen Sanwan explained seriously: "After all, this place is not a large enterprise. If we say it's good, it's a vibrant folk mercenary group. To put it bluntly, there is no essential difference from the pirates of the 'Sugu Bi'. In the wealth distribution system of the galaxy, it is at most considered to be predators at the bottom, so it's impossible to be particularly rich. The boss himself sets an example in this regard. His wealth income is all based on this list, so there is no problem of exploitation."
Sean thought for a moment and expressed his understanding.
Huang Siwan smiled after hearing this: "But although the list treats everyone equally, there are still differences between rich and poor in the team. Some people can cut their debts by more than half in just a few years, while others have only a good skill, but they still struggle on the poverty line... "
This re-introduction of the old saying made Chen Sanwan angry: "Old Huang, are you done?? Sean was assigned to me by the boss. If you don't agree, go and ask the boss for your complaint!"
"What is assigned to you? It's just allocated to your room. Why do you take it as your subordinate? You probably have to redistribute it after returning to the base, this kid..."
Speaking of this, Huang Siwan suddenly stopped.
Chen Sanwan widened his eyes and waited angrily for him to spit ivory from the dog's mouth.
"Old Chen, do you think the boss wants to stuff him into the Hongxing Team?"
Chen Sanwan's eyes widened and expanded again: "Hong Xing Squad!?"
Huang Siwan carefully analyzed: "The boss is a meticulous person, with clear distinction between public and private affairs, and never ambiguity in business, right?"
“This is nonsense.”
"In order to save this kid, we did waste time and waste materials in the action, and even fight against Zhuque and the others. These are losses and costs, right?"
Chen Sanwan glanced at Sean, and saw that the latter was calm, so he nodded: "That's right."
"Our team, and even this spacecraft, are not the boss's private property, so the team cannot pay the losses caused by his willless behavior. But do you think he will pay off the debt for the newcomer? There has never been such a precedent? Then how should Sean pay off his millions of debt? I admit that he does have potential, but no matter how potential he has, following your laser brain to build a robotic arm, he will only go step by step toward Xiao Qianwan's abyss."
Chen Sanwan rarely retorted angrily, but instead thought: "As far as you say, it seems to make sense."
Huang Siwan said: "And among all our teams, the one with the highest income and best treatment is the Hongxing Team. If Xiao Baiwan wants to get rid of poverty as soon as possible, of course, he has to send him to the highest income place."
"Hongxing Squad." Chen Sanwan touched his chin, "Is this kid so powerful? He ran to that team with a million debts on his back. He accidentally lost a bad debt."
Huang Siwan said with some uncertainty: "If you can be chased by hundreds of people and be safe and sound, you should not become a bad debt, right?"
Chen Sanwan glanced at him: "You will know when you go and fight the Hongxing Team once."
The two chatted on their own, throwing the protagonist aside. Sean continued to study the functional modules in the robotic arm while listening.
Whether this robotic arm is useful or not, Chen Sanwan's mechanical skills are really clever. The structural design of stuffing the entire hammock into the robotic arm is enough to study it for a while.
As for the Red Apricot Team? If you have the opportunity to pay off your debts as soon as possible, Sean doesn't mind taking on higher work intensity.
And he had a premonition that he would get important clues there.
——
With the enthusiasm of unlimited work, Sean welcomed six groups of spectators like 40,000 in just two hours.
From Chen Sanwan's conversation with them, it is not difficult to infer that the Silver Knights rarely accept new people, and this precedent for temporary recruitment of new people on the battlefield is a handful of people. Out of trust in Li Yu, people have no doubts about the young newcomer's joining, but curiosity is inevitable.
Sean welcomed batches of audiences like a rare animal.
But while being watched, Sean was also observing these crew members.
First of all, most of the crew members acted very friendly. Instead of being arrogant and rude because Sean was a young newcomer, he sent all kinds of small gifts friendly.
However, Sean was a little flattered and overwhelmed - he had no chance to return the gift.
Secondly, most of these friendly crew members are extremely powerful. Any of them is elite under most of the judgment criteria. This has actually been confirmed. Before, when Sean and Li Yu were talking in the cargo hold, dozens of people hid outside the cabin and eavesdropped, but Sean didn't notice it at that time.
Finally, these crew members had a respect for Li Yu, and although they were very funny when they were mentioned, the Jedi apprentice could hear their true feelings. Everyone had the awareness of willingness to die for this Knights leader.
This spaceship, this Knights, and the entire organization refreshed Sean.
It is hard to imagine that this is a team mixed with pirates attacking the manor. Compared with the blind streams of Star Sea that blindly burned, killed and plundered, they were simply cleared to the sky. So this made Sean wonder what they did on that asteroid at that time?
The other pirates wanted to steal everything in the manor, but the silver spaceship was floating quietly in the wilderness.
Unfortunately, this question was not answered until the spacecraft arrived at the temporary base.
Old Chen, who is in the same cabin, is an enthusiastic person. While discussing mechanical technology with Sean, he also seriously introduced many things about the "Silver Knights" to Sean, but he was very secretive about the attack on the manor.
"Generally speaking, when the boss picks up people temporarily, he will personally explain the situation on the scene to the newcomer. For example, when I was pulled on the boat, the boss told me personally that my patent income was not only embezzled by the original boss, but also framed me for the sake of safety and exclusive benefits, forcing me to have no way out."
"He was willing to pull me on the boat because he happened to receive a commission from a victim similar to me. In that case, you were taken to the boat by the boss, but the boss didn't even tell you the action plan, so he should be incomprehensible."
"The boss has made his statement. Of course, we cannot interfere in our subordinates. The most important thing is that I actually don't know what this action is for. The boss has rarely told us the purpose from the beginning, but only assigned specific execution steps for each of us. We are like pieces of puzzle pieces, and only a few people know the whole picture."
The mystery that Chen Sanwan said made Sean more interested in this matter, but he also knew very well that he needed to be patient with the secrets that should not be blindly discovered. Just like studying calculus before he could practice the four-character calculations, it was nothing more than a waste of time.
This organization itself is undoubtedly more interesting than the organization's action plan.
Of course, the name of the Silver Knights was Li Yu's nonsense, but even nonsense was absolutely binding. From the moment he said it, the Silver Knights was the official name of the organization.
Until Li Yu whispers next time.
In fact, this organization is not strictly named. At least after Li Yu took over the organization, he deliberately downplayed the organization's sense of seriousness and ritual. To this day, the entire organization only revolves around Li Yu and becomes an extension of his personal will. He wants to organize the organization to be the Silver Knights, and the organization is the Silver Knights. If his mind is in the water, he wants to organize the organization to become a maid cafe, the organization will become the Silver Maid Cafe.
However, strangely, this unquestionable dictatorship did not form an extreme organization.
Li Yu has the highest rule of the organization, but he does not have ownership. Everyone's wealth accumulation, including himself, must be obtained through the job salary list through labor. The excess is the public property of the organization and cannot be used for personal use.
Although this distribution system, including the work salary list, was entirely formulated by Li Yu alone, and the definition of public property and private use was also explained by Li Yu alone, this wealth distribution system is still operating well to this day.
In addition, everyone in the organization has the power to leave freely, and even has the power to challenge Li Yu to become the next leader of the organization - as long as they can bear the weight of this power.
Such a unique style of authoritarian but free and unruly relies entirely on Li Yu's own power, so it's no wonder that the crew worshipped Li Yu. Such a strange person, Sean was unprecedented in traveling the Milky Way for several years.
So, what is the purpose of this strange man running the organization?
"To be honest, I don't know either." Chen Sanwan said, "Sometimes I feel that the boss is simply a scavenger, and will pick up all kinds of people who can't get along in other places and raise them, such as you and me, for example. But sometimes, the boss will treat us as thermal grenades without hesitation and throw us towards the enemy. If you have the chance, I will take you to visit the organization's cemetery, which is very spectacular."
"Sometimes, organizations are like calculating chaebols, everything is for wealth accumulation - not the boss's personal wealth, but the organization's wealth. The boss is an exquisite person. He never regards the organization as a cheap labor when taking orders. We are also well-known in the Qianxing system, and many tasks are expensive. But on the other hand, you have also seen that each of us is cheap labor, including the boss himself."
"So, if you really want to know this organization and use this organization - don't rush to deny that most of the people picked up by the boss have some desires for the organization. We do not exclude such newcomers, but at least you must fully understand this organization first. What I can introduce is relatively limited, so you should witness it with your own eyes."
After a long conversation with Chen Sanwan, the Silver finally ended its brief space trip and landed in a temporary base also located in the asteroid belt.
This base is quite simple. After hollowing out a giant meteorite with a construction ship, it will stuff the necessary lifting and maintenance facilities into it.
But this base is simple but it is undoubtedly easy to use. As long as you hide in the tiny asteroid belt, you will not be able to detect its existence from the outside. The only regret is that it is to ensure concealment, and the internal space is very limited. When the Silver landed, a spacecraft had already been docked in the hangar, which almost caused a collision accident.
It was a gray olive-shaped spacecraft, which was a little larger than the Silver. Its honest abdomen and rare weapons mean that it was an absolute cargo ship. However, Sean was sent to work without finding the opportunity to observe more details.
The Baiyin only stopped in the base for half a day. During this period, some crew members were summoned by Li Yu to the base for help with the communicator, while the rest remained on the ship for maintenance operations.
Sean happened to get his first job: cooperated with Chen Sanwan to do mechanics and maintenance.
The work is not difficult. Although the model is unfamiliar, there is a skilled worker to guide the way. The entire process is more like a simple learning for Sean. After a complete work process, Sean felt that his understanding of spaceship design was deeper.
The only drawback is that the salary is very limited, and the busy half a day is worth only 100 Qiankun coins, which can be ordered a glass of bad wine in the bar where Xia Yan had confronted Xia Yan before.
To be continued...
