The seven pieces of junk machinery don’t look small in size.
But unfortunately, they are so decayed on the inside.
Even if all of them are disassembled, the parts recovered might not even fill half a container.
With so little, forget about crafting the external mechanical equipment Su Yu envisions.
Even for the cavalry, it’s barely enough to create two!
"Brother Su, I’m sorry, it’s my incompetence..."
Yang Lie noticed Su Yu’s frustration and felt quite apologetic himself.
But Su Yu just waved his hand: "It’s not Yang Uncle’s fault, nor is it Captain Wang Jian’s problem."
During the last purchase of mechanical parts, Su Yu had almost emptied the reserves held by hunting captains like Wang Jian, Luo Wang, and Hu Yueshan.
The situation in the management office is similar.
He took on eighteen orders in one go, and many of the parts used were generously provided by the management office.
These eighteen orders consumed nearly half of the management office’s stored mechanical parts.
Additionally, whether it’s due to changes in the wasteland environment or the Night Slayer Team’s secret interference,
the groups of Radiation Beasts appearing near the sanctuary have been steadily increasing in strength.
This back and forth process further reduced the quantity of mechanical parts that each hunting team could recover.
"Why not, I could make another trip to the management office, offer a higher price, and see if I could purchase some extra stock."
There must still be mechanical parts at the management office.
But those parts are reserved by the management office for the direct sanctuary, including the few combat teams led by Bai Hong, for the maintenance and improvement of their equipment.
They are not easily sold off externally.
But if the price is high enough, that’s a different story.
Listening to Yang Lie’s suggestion, Su Yu pondered for a moment and then nodded.
Although he felt a bit pained about the contribution points and didn’t want to be exploited,
the current situation was clear, there was no way out of it, even if he wanted to avoid it.
However, Su Yu didn’t immediately instruct Yang Lie to take action.
In any case, those stock parts would remain there; whether exchanged a day earlier or later, their numbers wouldn’t diminish too much.
Su Yu planned to finish the mechanical recovery on hand first.
Furthermore, Su Yu had another thought.
"Instead of spending a lot of contribution points to exchange, why not directly contact the manager old man?"
If the manager approves,
would he still worry about not getting parts?
"Let me think of some ways first, if all else fails, then Uncle Yang can take action."
Yang Lie nodded, seeing that Su Yu was ready to get to work, he said no more and just closed the door and left the repair room.
Su Yu and Nuonuo resumed the repair work.
Besides recovering useful parts from old machinery,
after the cavalry had hunted outside for so long, while they had not suffered irreparable damage due to the vanguard Nuonuo’s presence,
many of their armors and weapons required reconditioning, or even overhauling, to restore them to their peak state.
In summary, there was much work to be done.
Fortunately, with Nuonuo’s assistance,
Su Yu’s efficiency remained as high as ever.
The maintenance and overhaul of the cavalry had been entirely delegated to Nuonuo by Su Yu.
His focus was now entirely on recovering these seven old machineries.
Two hours later, the seven pieces of old machinery had been mostly disassembled by Su Yu.
Unfortunately, the result of the recovery was just as Su Yu had expected.
The collection of high-quality parts couldn’t even fill half a parts box.
"It seems I really need to visit the old man... Hmm? What’s this?"
Su Yu shook his head, preparing to stand up to visit the manager.
But just as he stood, a sudden glance caught his eye, a small electric furnace tossed aside into the junk pile, caught his attention immediately.
It made the mechanical gears formed by the Steel Meditation in Su Yu’s mind tremble abruptly!
This electric furnace is only of basic grade.
And its internal structure is quite ancient, requiring more time to disassemble than the average mid-level Mechanical Creation.
So Su Yu simply tossed it into the scrap heap, intending to dismantle it when he had time later.
But unexpectedly, such a situation occurred.
"Could it be, there’s something good inside this electric furnace?"
Su Yu’s eyes showed a glimmer of intrigue.
He had never encountered something that resonated with his Spiritual Energy.
But no matter how Su Yu looked at it, that electric furnace was just a dilapidated basic machinery!
Curious, Su Yu approached, picked up the electric furnace from the parts pile, and then closed his eyes.
The gears turned, Spiritual Energy diffused, and in the darkness, Su Yu opened his "eyes" once again.
Before him, the electric furnace glowed weakly, like a firefly.
But as Su Yu held his breath and focused,
he saw a stubbornly bright spot of light, brilliant and mystical, like a star!
Su Yu did not hesitate any longer.
He forgot about seeing the manager for now and sat back at the workbench, starting a new round of dismantling!
Carefully dismantling for over an hour later,
the electric furnace was finally completely dismantled by Su Yu.
One by one, small components were cautiously placed by Su Yu into a parts box on the table.
In the end, only a chip roughly two to three centimeters square remained with Su Yu!
The chip was covered with dust,
but in Su Yu’s Spiritual Energy perception.
This was the chip with the shining, bright, and stubborn light!
Su Yu took a deep breath, focusing on the chip, and after a moment, lines of information appeared before his eyes.
[Intelligent Chip Set·Universal]
[Type: Intelligent Chip]
[Description: Universal Intelligent Chipset, widely applicable, usable for production, repair, combat, and can be used in the creation and improved upgrade of intelligent mechanics]
Reading the detailed description of the chipset in his hand,
Su Yu’s eyes were filled with uncontainable joy!
"This is really an unexpected harvest!"
And it’s a universal one!
With this, whether to craft more advanced cavalry or to develop new external equipment for himself, it’s more than adequate!
Taking a deep breath to suppress his excited heart,
Su Yu solemnly put away the chip, then decisively stood up, ready to visit the manager old man to apply for parts support.
"Su Yu wants to see me?"
The manager’s residence.
Upon Bai Hong’s report, the manager was momentarily stunned, then had a flash of surprise in his eyes.
"Could it be that the kid is ready?"
