Calamity Dance

Chapter 5 The Man From Printa
The man at the door was about forty to fifty years old, about the same age as Ryan.His long brown hair was tied back and he had no beard on his face, in stark contrast to Ryan with a big beard.Still, the years have left a very deep mark on his face.His face was wrinkled and looked weather-beaten.The man was wearing a brown robe, and there was a small display screen on his left forearm.There is a huge lion icon in a prominent position on the chest of the robe.The pattern is not very common, and Ren recognized it immediately. It is a robe belonging to the Printa Warrior Academy.Since the Printa Warrior Academy has provided war and military talents to the empire for a long time, on the anniversary of the establishment of the academy, the then emperor of the Tasha Dynasty attended and gave him the highest medal of the Golden Lion.Since then, the icon of Printa Warrior Academy has been changed to a huge golden lion with a few drops of blood at the corner of the lion's mouth, symbolizing its determination to serve the empire to the death.

"What's the matter with you?" Ren asked.

"Are you the shopkeeper here?" the man asked.The man looked a little flustered and anxious.

"Yes, my name is Ryan, do you need anything repaired?"

"Ren, right?" the man continued. "My name is Rice, and I'm from Printa Warrior Academy. I'm an officer. Can you undertake the maintenance work of Meyers' mecha here?"

Myers Mech, a familiar name.In Ryan's memory, the Meyers Mecha is the armor worn by the main combat forces of the Empire.It was designed by a god hundreds of years ago.Due to its excellent combat performance, it has been used for hundreds of years.In the last ten years, it seems that the Myers mecha has reached the second generation due to the new energy technology.When he was studying at Eswald College, he once had a course dedicated to the maintenance of such mechs.But for Ren, since he is no longer a divine craftsman, and the machine repair shop has not repaired a few armors for real combat use in the past ten years, for him, the appearance, function and performance of the Meyers mech Already a little strange.But this point is not difficult for a true divine worker.If Ren is really asked to repair a Meyers mech, he will be a little excited, after all, it is the work of different gods.

"No problem, Mr. Rice. Where is the mecha now?" Ren agreed directly.

"Wait a moment, I'll have someone transport it in," Rice said.While speaking, Les looked at everything in the store, "How many years has your store been open?"

"It's been 12 years. There is only one mechanical repair shop in Talim District." Ren replied, "However, a place like Printa Warrior Academy should be equipped with a dedicated maintenance team. And the maintenance team There may not be a small number of Chinese gods. Why did you come all the way to me to repair a mecha? Is there anyone who recommends it?"

Rice turned his gaze back to Ren. "This mecha didn't happen during the teaching process, and the accident is a bit special. It's not convenient for me to talk about it here. There is a venerable in our college, and he recommended your side to me." Rice's tone became Respect.Perhaps due to panic, he was not very polite to Ren at the beginning.

His Holiness.Ryan thought.There are four venerables in Printa Academy, and these four venerables jointly manage the school.Everyone has superb fighting skills, and no one knows how old they live.Since it was recommended by a venerable, he must know my identity as a divine worker.Giving this mecha to me must have his special purpose.If it is not an accident that occurred during the teaching process, and they choose to deal with it in a low-key way.Then presumably the damage to the mecha.Not that big either.Ren nodded to Rice, expressing that he would not continue to pursue the question.If you continue to ask, your identity as a divine worker may also be exposed, which will cause unnecessary trouble. "Do you need some tea?" Ren asked.

"Okay, I'll trouble you then, any ordinary tea will do." Les put down his vigilance and sat down on the sofa in the lobby of the store.At the same time, he clicked a few times on the screen on his left arm, which should remind people outside that the mecha can be sent into the store.Sitting down, Les ran through his hair, looking a little frustrated and tired.

After a while, two young men who also wore the robes of Printa Warrior Academy came in carrying a pair of humanoid mechas. "Just put it here." Rice beckoned them to put the mecha next to the sofa where he was sitting.After the two young men put down their mechs, they bowed and walked out.

After a while, Ren came out with tea and saw the mech beside Rice. "Is this the mecha that needs to be repaired?" Ren asked.Les nodded. "Well, bring the mecha here, let's hang it up and have a look." Ren put down the tea in his hand, picked up the mecha with Les and walked into his glass workshop.Ryan put down the hook in the workshop.Take off the head part of the mech and put it aside, and hang the whole mech with a hook.

Unsurprisingly, it was a Meyers II mech.Compared with the original generation, due to the improvement of the energy supply system, it is lighter, simpler, stronger in battery life, and its explosive power and strength have also been improved. "Is there anything wrong with this mech?" Ren asked Rice.On the surface, it's just that the left arm part seems to be a little longer than the right arm.In other words, there are only some scratches on the outer skin.It seems impossible to affect the function of the mecha.Ren thought to himself.

"I can't tell you the specific details. Before the battle, the person wearing the mecha couldn't raise his left arm at first. At first he just thought the program was malfunctioning and didn't care. After reconnecting the energy source, there was still There is a little resistance, but it can work normally. However, the left arm cannot execute the combat commands issued by the soldiers during the battle, resulting in the failure of the battle." Rice briefly described the process.

Combat orders.Ren secretly smiled.The people in this academy are really pedantic, and their words are too official.Hundreds of years ago, similar mechas were only used as external skeletons for physically disabled people. All human instructions are issued by the brain, including now.Even the Meyers Type II does not have a brain-computer interface.The purpose is to give full play to the initiative of the fighters themselves, and when the mecha breaks down, the people wearing the mecha can evacuate in time.The artificial intelligence chip of the mecha.It is also relatively rudimentary. It is only used to calculate the strength of the enemy and the enemy and the details of the battle during the battle, and then display it through a very small lens on the head.What about the combat command?
"Does that sound like a problem with the built-in chip?" Ren turned his head and asked Rice.

"Our judgment is yes." Rice replied, "So I want to say send it out for repair. Whether it can be repaired is another matter. The main thing is to find the problem."

"Okay, when will you want it here?" Ren took out a rag and wiped the oil on his hands.

"About three days, is it ok? Originally, such a mecha is not in compliance with the rules when it comes out of our academy. It's too long, and I'm afraid the venerable will have some opinions." Rice said.It sounded like he had no idea what was wrong with this mecha.And after a problem occurs, how long will it take for the mecha to be repaired.

"Three days, there is no problem. I will do my best to repair the mech. But I can't guarantee that I can find out the real reason for the damage of the mech. You can come back in three days." Ren said this Take over the job.

"Okay, I'll come here to see you again in the evening after those three days. It's probably around this time." Les stood up, but his expression was a little serious. "There is one more thing, and I hope that Mr. Ryan must do it."

"please say."

"Please don't mention this mecha to any outsiders during these three days. At the same time, we will bring back the mecha after three days regardless of whether the mecha is repaired or not. For you, you have never seen me .What happened in these three days never happened.”

"The question is not a problem. Let me ask one more question, what happened to the person in the mecha?" Ren seemed to be on point.

Les had some hard looks on his face, but he remained calm.As an officer, he is very used to hiding his emotions. "This is not a real combat mission, so there is no problem. It is still the same, and I have no way to disclose more details."

"Okay, so be it. Is there anything else that needs to be explained?" Ren stood up and faced Rice.

"No, thank you. I'll take my leave first!" Rice reached out to shake Lei Ren's hand.After holding it, place your right hand in front of your left chest.The lion on the robe shows only one eye.This is the military salute of the Imperial Army.

"Is there any contact information, can I leave one? If there is a problem in the middle, I will ask you." Ren added.

"There is no need for contact information. No matter what happens in the middle, after three days, these things will no longer exist." After speaking, Rice walked out of the machine repair shop.

What a strange man, Ryan thought.But in fact, it's okay, as a soldier, doing these things is not what they are good at.After sending Rice off, Ren walked back to the glass workshop and took another look at the mecha.On the surface, there is really no big problem.As Rice said there might be something wrong with the left arm because it looks longer than the right arm.But this is not in line with the situation that Rice just described. It seems to be a huge pulling force, which elongates the left arm.In the case of a normal energy supply, such a force usually requires several hundred tons.So rather than a very basic chip problem, it might be a problem with the energy supply.

Ren looked at the time, it was almost 11 o'clock.There are three more days.Simply save it until tomorrow, and let Xu Qingquan's kid try it out.So Ren carried the armor out of his glass workshop, moved to Xu Qingquan's workshop opposite, and hung the armor in it.

"Sure enough, today is not as leisurely as I imagined!" Ren sighed.Since it was given by Venerable Printa, I will study it tomorrow.Ryan turned off the lights in the mechanic's shop, locked the door, and called it a day.
