Chapter 224 A-1 Photoprinting Expert
Understand the background of the Light Explosion Angel.

Zhou Yi turned his attention back to Shi Gan Dang.

"If I'm not mistaken, you should be a sweeping robot. How did you become a photoprinting expert?"

“There was a certain amount of chance in this matter.”

Shi Gandang said: "After awakening, I worked as a cleaner in the 29th Photographic Printing Factory in Mirror City. My job was to vacuum up all kinds of debris and dust generated in the factory, keep it clean, and prevent dust from affecting the operation of various equipment."

"You should also be able to see that I am a low-powered small electromechanical lifeform with very limited strength. Medium and large-scale people in the same position are several times more efficient than me."

"I work 22 hours a day, 1 hour to clean my tools and do maintenance, and 1 hour to slowly recharge - this way I can use the energy pack more fully and completely."

"Unfortunately, even though I think I've worked hard enough, my jurisdiction is getting smaller and smaller. This is because other mechanical life forms of the same profession have been coming to Mirror City one after another, and many of them are stronger and more capable than me."

"For small-scale workers like me, the area has been reduced and the salary has also been reduced. In the later period, it was no longer possible to make ends meet."

It said: "Many ordinary electromechanical lives face this dilemma."

"Our growth cannot keep up with the needs of urban development, so stronger companies will take away our jobs. Losing our jobs makes it more difficult for us to grow, which forms a vicious circle. In the end, if we are lucky, we will be diverted to some small emerging cities."

"But this does not solve the fundamental problem. Small cities will also have the same problem, it just delays complete elimination and unemployment..."

"In short, this is what electromechanical life is like. The ability to work and labor measures the value of our existence. As long as this framework exists, the slow death of most individuals is inevitable."

Talking about the past, the sweeping robot, which had no fluctuating consciousness before, was a little depressed at this time.

Zhou Yi also felt miserable after hearing this.

The life of mechanical and electrical engineers all depends on work data. This is a society with fair data.

However, this kind of fairness, when applied to individuals who are inherently different in strength, will cause resources to rapidly concentrate on the upper level.

So there appeared tall, rich and handsome flying mechatronic life forms, born to be superior to others.

For agricultural machinery with very low output efficiency, the difficulty level starts from hell and survival is difficult.

Wait.

In this case.

An idea suddenly revived in Zhou Yi's mind.

"Shi Gandang, according to what you said, then the old and weak mechanical and electrical life should be everywhere, right?"

"Of course there is."

The sweeping robot said: "The aging and damage of parts are inevitable. Many D-level will degenerate to E-level. The continuous consumption of energy packs, as well as the expenses of modification and maintenance... Every awakening of electromechanical life is burdened with a heavy debt accumulated over time."

"Even a big city like Mirror City, which has a strong economy, can only distribute some basic energy packs to needy residents on a regular basis."

Zhou Yi had a rough idea in his mind.

The per capita expenditure on mechanical and electrical life is too high, so it cannot be covered by social security.

He asked, "If I were to recruit these aged and damaged electromechanical beings, like you were in your past, would they be willing to come?"

“Many people probably don’t want to.”

Shi Gandang said without hesitation: "Mechatronic life only likes mechatronic cities. Other cities, especially human cities, do not leave a good impression on people."

"Human cities often break their promises and fail to honor their commitments, and cities themselves are unstable, so no one wants to go there. Even if the income in mechanical and electrical cities is much lower, they are more inclined to stay."

Zhou Yi was speechless.

They are so poor that they can't even have food to eat, and they are old and frail, yet they are still so particular.

If it were humans, they would go wherever there was food, and we’ll talk about the future later.

Zhou Yi changed his perspective again: "What about a B+ level organization like our company?"

The other party was stunned for a moment: "Wasteland Development Company, credit rating is B+?"

"Correct."

"That's fine." Shi Gandang was a little confused again: "But at this level, we should need higher-level professional electromechanical life forms, right? The poorest and most difficult ones are all E-level. Their labor capacity is very limited, and a considerable number of them even have difficulty moving. Are you really sure you want to consider hiring them?"

"determine."

Zhou Yi said: "They are still professionals in their respective fields, aren't they?"

"Yes, but the labor value may not be what you want."

Shigandang is measured by the standards of a mechanical and electrical city.

Zhou Yi thought that the company lacked professionals in various fields. He had previously tried to recruit retired human enhancers, but failed.

There is hope for retired and unemployed people in the field of mechanical and electrical engineering.

Even if their functions have degraded, they are still good teachers who can lead and teach the company's new human employees.

Shi Gandang said: "Your company has a very high credit rating, and is actually no different from an ordinary mechanical and electrical city."

"If you are really willing to accept them, they will come. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you on behalf of everyone."

Zhou Yi immediately said: "Let's not talk about anything else. You should join our company first. As an employee of the company, it will be easier for you to participate in many things."

"You saved me from the slow death of the Light Explosion Angel. I will do my best to contribute my strength."

Shi Gandang continued to talk about his previous experiences.

"I was getting poorer and poorer, and I didn't have the money to buy new equipment, so I had to repair it myself."

"Fortunately, I worked in a photo printing factory. The long hours allowed me to learn some simple techniques from the processing workshop. In addition, my own structure is not complicated and it is not difficult to repair. I also tried to modify my own spare parts to make them more suitable for work."

"I practiced with the factory's discarded materials and learned how to install and test basic photolithography. Later, there was a safety accident in the factory, which caused several engineers to be injured and repaired, resulting in temporary job vacancies."

"So I applied for the job and successfully passed the test to become a temporary engineer assistant. After two and a half months, I was officially retained as an assistant because of my high proficiency and the standard yield rate."

"I worked as a cleaner and an engineer's assistant at the same time. Gradually, I became an engineer and then a photolithography expert."

"Honestly, I was lucky. Mirror City was in a state of rapid development at the time. Many new optical printing devices were born in optical printing factories one after another. A large number of inventions were spurted out. As engineers of that period, we reaped a huge dividend of the times."

"With enough light seed reserves, I can do more application experiments, my position will be more stable, and I can also obtain special funds allocated by factories and cities... This is how electromechanical life is. The weak will always be weak, and the strong will always be strong."

"Later, because I was an A-1 photoprinting expert, I was paid a high price by the technical department of Heaven to sign a confidentiality agreement for the development of new technologies. I came here with other experts to conduct photoprinting research and application reproduction on architectural life."

"My expertise in optical printing is in dynamic structures and engineering, mainly in optical printing structures that can provide various movements. Common "optical levitation", "propulsion" and "jetting" are all within my research areas."

Zhou Yi asked: "Are there any further levels of experts?"

"Yes. Just like the electromechanical optical printing has E-1 and E-2 generations."

Shi Gandang said tirelessly: "The 1 after A-1 represents the height in the professional field, and the highest is A-3."

Zhou Yi pondered in his heart.

Judging from the professional rating alone, Shi Gan is also a professor or researcher in the wasteland world.

For such high-end talents, the Kingdom of Heaven directly transformed them into Light Explosion Angels, which was quite ruthless.

Zhou Yi raised another question: "Is there a way to unlock the light seal on your body?"

Shi Gandang said: "The structures of the light seals used to lock us are different, and the precision is very high. Without the original data, it is difficult for the outside world to unlock it. If there is a mistake in one step, it will explode directly."

Zhou Yi temporarily gave up the demolition.

"The company has a new research direction recently. Are you willing to establish a connection with the architectural life of our company in the field of consciousness? After all, you have experience in dealing with architectural life, and I think this is also a good opportunity for two-way understanding..."

The robot vacuum cleaner was stunned for a moment: "The company actually has this kind of technology?!"

"Yes, but it's still in the pilot stage. So far, it seems to be harmless..."

"I am willing!"

Shi Gandang became excited: "I'd love to!"
