“Hello, are you there?” Zhang Bei asked anxiously.
After about three seconds, just as Zhang Bei was about to send another message, the other party replied, “Yes. What can I do for you?”
Zhang Bei was overjoyed. He asked, “How do you want to trade that thing of yours?”
The other party hesitated for a moment and asked, “What do you want this thing for? What do you plan to exchange for it? I only want to exchange it for food.”
Zhang Bei heaved a sigh of relief and said, “That’s okay. How much food do you want?”
The other party thought for a while and said, “I want three days’ worth of food.”
Zhang Bei did not agree immediately. After all, food was very hard to come by nowadays. It was better to save as much as possible.
Zhang Bei: “Two days. I’m not the kind of person who takes advantage of others. Food is indeed too scarce. Two days’ worth of food is the highest I can afford. If you agree, we can trade. If you don’t agree, then forget it. Anyway, I don’t really need this thing.”
After about a minute, the other party replied that it was a deal. Zhang Bei took out two days’ worth of food and placed it aside to confirm the deal. After about ten seconds, the other party’s item was also exchanged.
He took a look at it and found that it was a classic old computer console. Its black outer shell had lost a lot of its paint.
Zhang Bei didn’t care much about its outer shell. He only cared about the circuit board and wires inside.
He picked up the small knife and removed all the screws, then carefully put them aside.
He opened the back cover of the console to see if there was anything he could use.
Zhang Bei was very happy. Not only were the wires and other things intact, but the circuit board was also intact. He thought that there was definitely hope for this mecha repair.
First, he carefully removed the wires while keeping the interfaces intact. Then, he removed the circuit board and checked the storage cards.
“I wonder if this mecha can install things like these storage cards.” Zhang Bei didn’t think too much about it. He just put them aside, and picked up the circuit board. This was the most important thing. But when he picked it up, he found that there were many things missing.
The various test points inside were not connected, and there was no silicon material inside.
This was like pouring a bucket of cold water on Zhang Bei. It was so cold that his heart chilled. “How can I repair such a high-tech thing like circuit boards in space?”
Although he was from the engineering department, he had never built a circuit board before. Zhang Bei held the circuit board and looked around, feeling helpless.
