Mecha Time

Day two.

Father Shi received an email from Team Leader Zhang.

The email contained the address of a handicraft processing factory.

Shi's father hesitated for a moment, and told Shiran the name and address of the handicraft company with some depression.

After Shi's father left, Shi Ran put on makeup in front of the mirror, covered the teardrop mole under his left eye with concealer, put on a wig with long black bangs, and let the bangs cover half of his face before leaving for the factory.

Shi Ran went to the handicraft company and reported the name of Team Leader Zhang.

Not long after, a middle-aged man entered the meeting room, looked up and down Shiran curiously, and said, "...you are, that Shiran?"

Shi Ran nodded, and said: "Yes." His right hand caressed his face uncomfortably, "It's inconvenient to go out with this face, so I made some modifications."

The middle-aged man nodded understandingly, and looked at Shiran carefully, before he was sure that the person in front of him was that Shiran.These days, the skill of changing one's appearance is very advanced, if it wasn't for the fact that a friend had introduced someone, it was just a matter of time, and he really couldn't recognize it.

This middle-aged man is the factory director of this small handicraft company. His surname is Liu, but he is sometimes called Director Liu.

Director Liu took Shiran into the factory and explained the precautions to him one by one.

Always keep them in mind.

Most of the work in the factory is handicrafts, with various fancy spar beads woven into objects.

The less difficult ones are pen holders, vases and boxes, and the more difficult ones are woven bags. The handwork is extremely cumbersome, and the production requirements are very strict. If the strength is too loose, it will be ugly, if it is too tight, it will be very difficult. Absolutely not.

In fact, Director Liu is not optimistic about Shiran.

Not only because Shi Ran was too young, but also because Shi Ran was engaged in music, and this type of people basically didn't do any rough work.However, due to his friend's request, he had to put on a show.When the time comes, Shiran will naturally walk obediently if he can't do well.

Director Liu, once you accept the order, you must complete the received items within the specified days, and you cannot deliver late.However, the most important thing is that the quality must not be substandard.

Shi Ran nodded obediently.

Director Liu added: "You are still underage, our factory cannot officially employ you, but you can use your father's name to get some materials here and work at home. That is, if there is a problem with your finished product, your Father will bear all responsibility, he is your guarantor."

"I'll work hard."

Director Liu nodded in satisfaction and led Shiran to the workshop.

There are all kinds of spar jewels in dazzling colors, which are beautiful to look at.

Director Liu: "Recently, the sales of colored crystal bottles are good. Let me teach you how to make this."

Director Liu arranged each spar of different colors in order, slowed down a lot to let Shiran learn, occasionally threaded needles, or used medicine to glue them together. After three to 10 minutes, a beautiful-looking colorful crystal was produced. bottle.

Director Liu: "Actually, it's not difficult, but the control of strength is very strict, so it's more labor-intensive. After making it, you need to check to see if there are any mistakes in the production process due to rush or other reasons. A bit, or which part is loose. At this time, you need to dismantle it and make it again.

Shi Ran nodded and answered "Yes".

Director Liu: "Come on, try it out. I'll just watch it here, and if you don't understand something, just ask me."

Shiran nodded.

Shi Ran learned from Director Liu, arranged the colorful spars in order, and danced quickly with both hands scooping up the spars.

Director Liu looked at Shiran's nimble hands. Although his movements were a bit jerky and clumsy, he used just the right strength when making objects, neither loose nor tight, and the quality of the products was excellent.

Shiran's hands are beautiful, and the slender, white and tender hands are very dexterous.

Director Liu was a little surprised, but he was quite satisfied.

Shiran asked curiously: "Can't production robots mass-produce these things?"

Director Liu shook his head, "Yes. Production robots can be made, but the efficiency of production robots is about the same as that of manual manufacturing, and one piece can be completed every half an hour. However, the process of making these handicrafts is precise and cumbersome. Robots need to consume a lot of energy to continue to operate. In addition to robot maintenance fees, repair fees, etc... the price is more expensive than handmade. Most importantly, in this year, as long as you add "pure The three words "handmade" are always more likable."

"So it is."

Soon, Shiran completed the first sample.It took 33 minutes.

Director Liu checked the samples produced by Shiran, smiled, and patted Shiran on the shoulder, "Not bad, the first production was very successful, and it only took 33 minutes. Very good."

"Have you decided to hire me?" Shi Ran asked.

Director Liu nodded and said, "Yes, I think you are qualified for this job."

Shi Ran's lips curved slightly, revealing a shy smile.

The two discussed the work content.

Director Liu, first give Shiran a hundred sets of materials, and ask Shiran to complete them within a week and return them to the factory.As for salary, it is settled once a week.

Shiran smiled and sincerely expressed that he would deliver the goods on time within the stipulated time.

Director Liu nodded, "Because there are a lot of materials, you go back first, and I will ask the postal company to deliver the materials to your home within today. If you have prepared them in advance, please say hello to me, and I will send someone to you Pick up at home."

"Ok."

The two said a few more clichés, and suddenly left the factory.

The factory is not too far from Shi's house. According to the average physical fitness of the current people, they can walk to Shi's house in 10 to [-] minutes.

When Shi Ran walked home, someone happened to knock on the door.

Shi Ran was a little nervous, thinking that the man was either looking for faults or asking for debts.However, it was the postal company.

Sometimes I was a little surprised, this efficiency is too fast.

After fingerprint authentication, the door of the room was opened, and Shiran asked the postman to enter the room.

Postman: "Mr. Shi, where are you going to put the item?"

Shi Ran took the postman to his room and said, "Just put it here."

The postman stroked the bracelet on his left wrist with his right hand. In an instant, boxes and boxes of things appeared in the hands of the postman out of thin air, and he piled up the boxes one by one.

During this process, Shiran looked at the space bracelet on the postman's wrist with some fiery eyes.This thing is amazing.

The postman dropped off all the goods and left.

There were ten boxes in total, the boxes were very big, and the room was too small, so I couldn’t do anything in the end, and the place on the bed was also taken up.

Shi Ran was embarrassed and worried, did he want to roll on the box tonight?

Shi Ran looked at his watch, it was already noon.

He went to the kitchen to scoop up half a box of organic liquid food, ate it in a hurry, and then opened the box to start working.

Time is the federal currency, although there are not many federal currency.

Shiran arranged the ten materials in order one by one, and then started manufacturing.

The production process is very cumbersome, so even if the hand speed is fast and the proficiency is strengthened, it takes at least [-] points to complete a set of finished products.

Is there no way to go faster?

Suddenly, three words floated in Shiran's mind.

Mental strength.

Isn't the tutorial in Inheritance Crystal Beads mainly based on spiritual power and manually assisted to make elementary mechas?

Shiran unleashed his mental power and tried to make two samples at the same time.

The operation of mental power is much more clumsy than manual operation. I am concerned about one side but forget about the other side. If I am in a hurry, the order of the production process will be messed up.In this way, the wrong object will be dismantled and remade.

Occasionally, the production of the sequence and the like is successful, but the force controlled by the mental force is not smooth, resulting in a substandard product.

The first few attempts were really bitter tears.

Shi Ran doesn't give up, the use value of mental power is very high, once you can make two pieces at the same time, it will double the time.

In fact, of course, Shiran would not be satisfied with making only two pieces at the same time, at least, he would also make a dozen pieces at the same time, right?Well, with a slight discount, he would be satisfied to be able to make five pieces at the same time.

An hour later, Shiran was finally able to make two pieces at the same time.

Three hours later, Shiran tried to make three pieces at the same time, two of them were perfect, and one was unqualified, so they were disassembled and redone.

Sure enough, spiritual power is very useful, and it can produce several finished products at the same time, which can save a lot of time.

Shiran completed as many as [-] finished products in the last three hours.

The continuous output of mental power for several hours made Shiran feel a little headache.

Coincidentally, Shi's father came back from get off work.

Shi Ran wiped the sweat from his forehead,

Walked out of the room.

Shi's father looked at Shiran distressedly, "It's all because my father is useless and made you suffer."

Shi Ran shook his head, looking at the father in front of him, he suddenly thought of his parents in his previous life, the father who worked hard to make money to support the family, the mother who loved him dearly, and his younger brother who was deeply attached to him.

He smiled slightly, "Actually, I've always thought that being able to live with my closest relatives is already the greatest happiness." Shi Ran lowered her eyes, and her slender and thick eyelashes covered the trace of apology in her eyes.Regardless of whether it was intentional or not, the fact that he took possession of this body and was reborn will not change.

For this, he owed his father Shi.Now, the only thing he can do to repay Shi's father is to do what a son should do dutifully, so that the lives of the two of them will be better.

Father Shi's cheeks were a little red, he gave a dry cough, and there was unconcealable joy in his brows and eyes.He: "Xiao Ran, let's eat."

Shi Ran nodded and said "OK".

After the two had eaten organic liquid food, Shi's father followed Shiran into Shiran's room.

Looking at the cardboard boxes occupying the hut, the smile on Shi's father's face faded, and he sneaked into his heart, disgusted with himself, thinking: If I can be more promising, I can let Xiaoran live a better life .

Shi Ran glanced at Shi's father, and silently rolled his eyes while Shi's father was sad.

Starting from noon, Shiran completed a total of 29 finished products in one afternoon.

Shi's father looked at the 29 finished products and said, "Xiao Ran, you, is this your first time making this?"

"Well, the first time."

"You did this the first time, the first day?"

Shi Ran nodded, "What's wrong?"

Father Shi felt a little embarrassed, blushed a little, and said, "No, it's nothing." I think he had done the same job back then, and he had studied the same finished product for several hours. Eight out of ten finished products were defective, and two of them were defective. Pieces are finished products.A total of three samples were completed throughout the day.Compared with his own son's situation, this is simply horrible.

However, is it really possible to complete 29 finished products in one day at the speed of human hands?As far as he knows, it takes about [-] minutes for the veterans in the factory to complete a finished product, right?

Shiran sat on the floor, planning to continue working after Shi's father left.

Shi's father sat opposite to Shi Ran, and naturally scooped up the spar and started making.

Shi Ran took the spar from Shi's father's hand, pointed to the door, and said, "Dad, this is my job, I don't want you to intervene."

"but……"

"Dad, I want to work by myself."

"You, do you dislike me?" Shi's father was very aggrieved.

"..." Shi Ran was embarrassed. "No. Dad, you know, ahem... I've been hit a lot lately. In terms of career and emotions, I need to use busy work to numb myself, so..." Shi Ran spoke nonsense with her eyes open.

Shi's father was silent for a moment, expressed his understanding, and then walked towards the door of the room step by step.

When he was about to leave the room, he said, "You won't be able to sleep in your room tonight, so why don't you go to Dad's bed tonight?" Shi's father blushed, twisted his fingers and tugged at his sleeve, "You If you don't like sharing the bed with dad, dad can use the floor as well." At the word "floor", Shi's father looked at Shiran with aggrieved eyes.

Shi Ran looked back at the narrow and small single bed in the room, and shook her head: "No, I can just make the floor bed."

Shi's father sniffed, and finally said: "Xiao Ran, don't be too tired."

"it is good."

Father Shi pushed the door open, and closed the door behind him after he went out.

Shi Ran released his mental power and locked the door in the air.Mental power is too convenient to use.

Shi Ran uses mental power to make three finished products at the same time.

With luck, it worked.

After four hours of proficiency, Shiran made four mistakes and had to dismantle and remake.

On the way, Father Shi knocked on the door, saying that it was late and it was time to go to bed.

Shiran, tonight decided to squeeze in this room and spread the quilt on top of the box to sleep overnight.

Shi's father tried a few more words of persuasion, but to no avail, and went back to his room in despair and aggrieved.

Shiran tried to make four at the same time, but the result was nondescript, and the complete control was not good. Even if it was barely made, it was still bad, and it needed to be dismantled and redone.Shi Ran tried for two hours without giving up, and finally heaved a weak sigh.

It's just that three pieces were made at the same time, and one piece was added. Why did the difficulty of control increase so much?

Shi Ran patted his face, feeling that he was really aggressive.After all, he can't guarantee 100% flawless completion even if he makes two pieces at the same time.

Shi Ran decided to take his time, rubbing his temples with both hands, and decided to rest for an hour before continuing to work.

For the rest, Shiran will finish at the speed of making three pieces at the same time.

From the initial frequent mistakes, the number of mistakes gradually decreased in the middle of the night.

After struggling until seven o'clock in the morning, Shiran made all the materials into finished products.

Shiran checked every finished product one by one, and put them into cartons one by one and packed them tightly.

At 07:30, there was a knock on the door, and Shiran went to open the door.

Shi's father scooped up a box of organic liquid food, looked at Shiran's pale and bloodless face distressedly, and asked, "You haven't slept all night?"

"No, I slept for a while." Shi Ran took the organic liquid food and felt really hungry.

Father Shi: "Don't try too hard, Dad looks sore."

Shi Ran smiled and said "yes".

When Shi's father left, Shi Ran spread a quilt on top of the cardboard box and curled up into a ball to sleep.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Shiran got up and contacted Director Liu after freshening up, saying that all the materials had been made into finished products.

Director Liu was taken aback, and said in surprise, "How is it possible? It's only been a day, right?"

Shi Ran showed a shy smile, "Well, I actually have a friend who wants to exercise his mental strength, so..."

Director Liu nodded in understanding, he doesn't care whether Shiran's words are true or not, what he cares about is whether the finished product is really perfect and flawless.

Director Liu: "Okay, I'll send someone to pick up the goods from you now."

"Excuse me, can I still pick up another [-] pieces and continue to make them?"

"...I think, I need to check and get back to you."

"Okay, I'll wait for your news."
