The dwarf didn’t say much. He looked deeply at Zhang Bei and then held the thing in his hand.

A few minutes later, the dwarf returned the item to Zhang Bei. “You’re really lucky.”

Zhang Bei took the box and thanked him before leaving the Appraisal Center.

He returned to the tent and touched the iron box. Information rushed into his brain.

Mechanical Civilization: Space Mecha—can be used to travel in space for a short time.

“Does this mean that I can go outside?” Zhang Bei was extremely excited and quickly opened the iron box.

A white light flashed and a mecha about 2 meters tall appeared on the ground.

The mecha was silvery-white in color and shone with a cold light. Its body was made of unknown metal. It was neither iron or steel. It was soft and tough.

There was a round cover on the head. Zhang Bei opened it and took a look. It seemed to be made of plastic and was very light and convenient.

He thought about it and turned the mecha over. However, he realized that the mecha was very heavy. He spent a lot of effort to finally turn it over.

“Are those oxygen cylinders hanging on the back?” Zhang Bei pushed the two small cylinders behind the mecha.

“Forget it, I’ll try it first.” He got into the mecha and looked around. He didn’t find any buttons.

“Is this thing broken?” Zhang Bei came out of the mecha and thought to himself.

“But I don’t know how to repair this thing either.” He scratched his head. As an ordinary engineering student on Earth, although he knew how to repair household appliances, he had never repaired a mecha before.

“Why don’t I open it?” Zhang Bei picked up a small knife and used it as a screwdriver to open the mecha.

Fortunately, this mecha was very easy to dismantle. Zhang Bei started by dismantling the head first.

He used the small knife to reach into the part connected to its head and shoulder, and then removed the screws one by one.

His movements were very slow, although he was very anxious to see the world outside the protective barrier.

Finally, Zhang Bei took off the head covering and found that the wires and connectors attached to the shoulder part of the cover were all broken.

“This will be a big job,” Zhang Bei smiled bitterly.

Most of the wires were already broken, so Zhang Bei cut off the remaining few wires and took off the head cover.

Zhang Bei looked at the densely packed circuit board and circuits and his head started to hurt.

“I finally didn’t have to do this job after graduating, and now I’m doing this again,” sighed Zhang Bei.

God knew how much he hated fixing circuits!

Zhang Bei used the small knife to carefully pull the circuits inside to see what the problem was.

He would not have known if he had not seen it. But when he saw it, he was shocked. The circuits inside had basically all been destroyed, and the wires were also broken or tangled together.

“How am I supposed to fix this?!” Zhang Bei threw the knife to the ground and lay there.

“But I really want to go out and take a look,” sighed Zhang Bei.

Zhang Bei lay on the ground and looked at the stars shining in space.

“I must fix it.” Zhang Bei sat up and made up his mind.

Zhang Bei slowly continued to move the circuits while looking for the damaged and missing parts.

He was mostly looking for wires and circuit boards, as well as tubes that connected to oxygen cylinders and the body.”

After opening the mecha, Zhang Bei made a list of necessities.

“Let’s take it slow. As long as I can find these things, space travel will not be a dream!”
