Chapter 27

The clear images transmitted by the rotatable camera on the Lord Chariot allowed Ye Qing to skillfully control the two mechanical arms, performing perfect processing actions.

The thick, curled edges, under the manipulation of the Lord Chariot's mechanical arms, became smoother than a girl's skin and were easily bent.

The magnetic base firmly adhered to the steel pipe, providing balance for the Lord Chariot.

"R-Really... it can..." The two divers widened their eyes, their breathing gradually becoming rapid.

If they were to work at their usual efficiency, it would take them at least a day to weld the severely damaged section.

Now?

Just a few minutes later, the steam that had risen twenty meters high over the lake gradually subsided.

This shocking scene was like an ancient master painter, whose works were worth a fortune, suddenly seeing a modern person take a photo with a Polaroid, leaving him stunned.

Or like an invincible swordsman, who had reached the pinnacle of his art, being defeated by an unknown young man who pulled out a pistol and shot him in the heart before he could even draw his heavy sword, leaving him in utter confusion.

It was truly ridiculous. They had confidently claimed that even if the American underwater welding team came, they wouldn't be able to fix it.

Now, a single welding robot had done it in just a few minutes...

Just a few minutes, during which they could barely change a welding rod.

More importantly, this underwater robot completely ignored the 200-degree high-temperature steam.

Who had ever seen such a robust underwater robot?

Boss Rong Wei's reaction was the strongest. The workers were just shocked and found it hard to believe.

But he was different. The welding robot in the water, while welding the steel pipe, also welded his despondent heart.

He felt as if he had entered paradise, his entire being elevated.

Indescribable joy blossomed in Boss Rong Wei's heart.

Who would have thought that someone could weld the pipe under 200-degree high-temperature steam?

This impossible feat was happening right before his eyes.

Watching the welding robot in the water, which was welding at a speed that ten divers couldn't match, gradually seal the gushing steam.

Boss Rong Wei shouted hoarsely, "Data, I need the reactor temperature data."

"It's rising, it's rising, boss," the management employee responsible for communication, his eyes red, said, "The temperature has already risen to 55 degrees."

If it were a normal day, they would be comfortably sitting in the control room, sipping tea while glancing at the data on the control panel.

But now, no one wanted to move a step. The pipe in the center of the lake was the key to all the problems.

"Sir, you are my savior, my benefactor!" Boss Rong Wei, now fully recovered, his expression energized, said, "Sir, keep going, quickly use your high-tech underwater welding robot to fix that hole."

The hole was almost sealed, with only a tiny opening still gushing steam. With the final weld from the Lord Chariot, the lake water instantly calmed as if by magic.

"Boss, boss, did you see that?" Two management employees ran over, hugging Boss Rong Wei as if he were a newlywed bride.

"I... I saw it!" Boss Rong Wei, tears streaming down his face, ran to Ye Qing, hesitating to hug him for fear of disturbing his control of the underwater welding robot.

"Wait a moment, I'll weld the outer shell too, so water won't enter the middle layer," Ye Qing said while operating the screen. "Once it's done, you won't have to replace the pipe."

"Good... good... I'm not in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry."

Rong Wei's hands rubbed together, perhaps realizing he should find something to do, but he couldn't help immediately.

Wait a moment...

Rong Wei suddenly thought that the person was helping because of the high reward he had offered.

"Finance, finance, quickly bring the seal."

After saying this, Rong Wei pulled out a checkbook from his pocket and wrote a cash check with a gold-plated pen.

The finance officer hurriedly brought the seal, and Rong Wei stamped the check, then respectfully presented it to Ye Qing as if it were a royal decree.

"Sir, this is a small token of my gratitude. Thank you for saving my life!"

"How much?" Ye Qing, with poor night vision, glanced at the check but couldn't see the amount clearly.

"1.5 million!" Rong Wei had a look of determination, ready to stuff the check into Ye Qing's pocket if he refused.

"What, 1.5 million?" The divers watching called out, wondering why the boss had increased the reward by 500,000 after just a few minutes.

Of course, they could only grumble in private. They had tried for the initial 1 million but failed.

"Isn't it supposed to be 1 million?" Now it was Ye Qing's turn to be excited. A few simple movements of his fingers had earned him 1.5 million.

Who had such skills?

Let all the capable people in Zhongyun stand up and compare. Who could earn more than him?

Buying a luxury car in a month would no longer be a dream!

"1.5 million, you saved my life, it's worth it," Rong Wei's face was flushed.

"Thank you for your generosity, Boss Rong. If the pipe has any issues in the future, I'll come and fix it for free," Ye Qing, under the intense gaze of the two divers, put the check in his pocket.

The outer pipe had a section cut out, the damaged part was retrieved, and the new section was welded back in place, taking Ye Qing about fifteen minutes.

When the entire pipe was fully welded, good news came from the reactor side.

60 degrees, 70 degrees, 80 degrees, 90 degrees...

As the heavy oil in the boiler burned fiercely, the steam, under high pressure, flowed into the reactor, heating the raw materials.

The temperature in the reactor gradually increased, and epoxy ethane was continuously injected, thoroughly mixing with the raw materials under the action of the reactor's agitator, causing a chemical reaction.

The control room staff had already guaranteed that this batch of raw materials would definitely react successfully!

Indeed...

The two underwater construction companies had given up halfway, and exactly one hour had passed. Rong Wei immediately ordered the boiler to be started, and Ye Qing took only about ten minutes to weld the damaged section securely.

There was no significant delay in time. The employees responsible for the reactor strictly followed the guidance of the two professors, carefully adding epoxy ethane.

Now their efforts were paying off, and the raw materials were slowly boiling, moving toward the final product.

"Hehe~ Sir, where did you buy this machine?" The two divers awkwardly approached Ye Qing, trying to get closer. "Such an amazing machine, we... also want to order one."

"You can't buy it," Ye Qing said while controlling the Lord Chariot to return, using a prepared response. "I bought this latest American underwater salvage robot at a high price, then installed the mechanical arms myself, spending over half a year to create this prototype."

"I run a machine tool factory at home and studied mechanical engineering, so I thought about whether I could create a new product."

"Ah!" The two divers were so surprised they almost swallowed their tongues. One cannot judge a person by their appearance, nor can one underestimate a young man.

No wonder he didn't use a laptop to control it but a phone, which no one else had used. This machine was his own invention.

Since he ran a machine tool factory and had developed an underwater robot, he naturally wanted to launch it as a new product.

The two divers immediately became obsequious, leaving their phone numbers and offering cigarettes, saying they would definitely be notified when it went into production.

"If you have similar underwater welding jobs in the future that you can't handle, contact me, and we can split the profits," Ye Qing exchanged phone numbers with them. "It will take about a year from development to market, but I'll notify you first when the product is ready."

"Thank you, thank you, Sir, for not holding a grudge." The two divers repeatedly apologized for their previous shortsightedness. This underwater robot, once launched, would definitely revolutionize the underwater construction industry.

If they could seize the opportunity...

They would surely become rich.

Thinking of this, the two divers felt even more guilty, spewing out all the apologies they could think of.

"No problem, no problem!" The Lord Chariot landed, and a wisp of steam rose from its metal surface. Ye Qing, somewhat worried, checked it and found no issues other than some heat.

Of course, such a miraculous machine as the Lord Chariot wouldn't be easily damaged by steam.

Controlling the Lord Chariot, Ye Qing slowly walked toward the Wuling Zhiguang minivan, preparing to head home. Rong Wei, however, was not willing to let him go.

"You've done me a huge favor, saving my life and the entire factory," Rong Wei said sternly, blocking Ye Qing. "I can't leave tonight, so I'll treat you to a meal at Tianranju tomorrow, and we'll have a good time. We'll go to the best sauna in Zhongyun in the evening."

Ye Qing had a dinner appointment with Zhang Zhitong the next day, but they hadn't decided on the time. He could call and set it for noon.

Rong Wei wanted to take him to a sauna...

That would definitely be in the evening. Where was the best sauna in Zhongyun?

Ye Qing couldn't think of it, so he would have to search online when he got home.

Unable to resist Rong Wei's enthusiastic invitation, Ye Qing nodded in agreement.

"Alright, tomorrow evening." Ye Qing exchanged numbers with Rong Wei.

"I'll pick you up in my car tomorrow, hehe~ I'll bring my best Moutai." Rong Wei was still immersed in his excitement. Mobile users, please visit http://m.piaotia.net
