Several maintenance technicians looked at him strangely: Isn't this question a bit too substandard?

Qu Jianlei was speechless, "If you still have problems, just keep checking... I just listed some main components."

As a maintenance technician, who dares to say that he can detect all problems? It is enough to be able to point out most of the problems in the main links.

The B-level maintenance engineer also heard it, and the other party's answer was vaguely thorny, which made him even more annoyed.

"The projects you mentioned may not all have problems."

"Is there any problem? Can't we just check it out?" The person yelled at him as usual, "The fault on the output terminal is easy to check."

The fault at the output end is something that no one has thought of, so it is representative.

This also requires stopping the operation to check, but since it is an external device, it does not need to be stopped for long.

Even including the replacement of parts, it only takes half an hour, and the impact on residents is minimal.

"Check it," the B-level maintenance engineer was annoyed, but he did not forget to emphasize one point, "Even if there is a problem, it does not mean that everything he said is right."

Chapter 96 Immediate results (fourth update)

Qu Jianlei didn't bother to pay attention to the noise. He turned his head and looked at Geng Shougong, "The work is done, where is the remaining balance?"

"The balance..." Geng Shougong was also a little nervous and couldn't help but swallow, "Are you sure you have found all the faults?"

"Why do you ask such a layman's question?" Qu Jianlei looked at him strangely, "Can't we just find the main fault?"

Geng Shougong's face turned red, "Okay then, let's talk about another question... six hundred silver dollars is not enough in such a short time?"

Qu Jianlei stared at him blankly for a while, then sighed, "I have read all those testing plans..."

"Don't say adopt them all, just adopt any one...how many silver dollars will it cost?"

Geng Shougong thought for a while and then answered bravely, "But it only took you less than half a day in total, and the cost..."

This is not because he wants to embarrass Qu Jianlei. In fact, this is the perception of the wasteland. The respect for knowledge here is not from the heart.

They also want to respect knowledge, but half a day of knocking here and there with a stick is worth six hundred silver dollars?

Qu Jianlei looked at him speechlessly, "What is the most valuable thing in the wasteland?"

"What is it..." Geng Shougong was a little confused, "A powerful adventurer?"

This is indeed true, Wasteland talks about the strong being respected.

Qu Jianlei slapped his forehead and said helplessly, "The most valuable thing is talent!"

"That's true," Geng Shougong nodded, "but this is... too valuable for you, isn't it?"

"You don't understand what kind of talent he is at all," Qu Jianlei said too lazily, "If you're not at ease, you should check and repair it first!"

Then he turned around and walked out, "Send me the balance... If you feel it's not worth it, that's up to you."

He doesn't want to be high-profile, but Asperger's syndrome has this characteristic. He thinks that what he recognizes should be recognized by others.

Of course, if the other party does not approve, there will be no future cooperation.

Geng Shougong at least thought that "there may be no future".

Just like when he first gave the other party 600 silver dollars, he didn't even think about whether it was worth it this time. What he thought about was that it would be easier to speak next time.

So after being stunned for a moment, he quickly chased after him, "Wait a minute, don't you still want to read some books?"

Seeing him chasing after him, a maintenance engineer was stunned and said, "Mr. Geng is... the other person is really arrogant."

"If we can falsify it, wouldn't he be crazy?" Finally, an upright maintenance engineer couldn't stand it and said, "Just falsify it."

Competition exists in every industry, but in industries with high technical requirements, some people are relatively simple.

It is actually not difficult to prove falsification. Within an hour, everyone tested two hidden dangers.

Both of these hazards are in easily detectable locations, and one of them doesn't even require downtime.

After two tests, at least no one dared to openly question Qu Jianlei anymore - he was really right.

Later, the request to temporarily stop the operation of the equipment was approved, so everyone checked for output faults.

As Qu Jianlei pointed out, it was a fault that no one was aware of before. If you want to detect and repair this fault, you must shut down the machine.

Half an hour later, the repaired equipment restarted. Some people couldn't help but sigh, "Isn't this... so awesome?"

If nothing else, it is admirable to say that someone has indeed discovered a problem that no one else has discovered.

The B-level maintenance engineer was unhappy when he heard this, and raised his voice to speak.

"Only three areas have been tested, and there are still sixteen areas to be tested. I say you... don't act like you have never seen the world, okay?"

The person who had been criticizing him smiled when he heard this and said, "You pointed out a problem that none of us have discovered. Are you still not convinced?"

The B-level maintenance technician was speechless, "At least the charge is a bit high... Six hundred silver dollars, and that's just the upfront fee."

"Everyone, are you willing to be burdened by this outsider of unknown origin?"

Everyone present was a senior maintenance engineer, so it was impossible for them to be short of money, but these six hundred silver dollars... it was really easy to earn.

However, this is an industry that relies on technology after all, and finally someone expressed it.

"If he has guessed all the remaining sixteen places, six hundred silver dollars is really not much."

More than just a few? They did give testing suggestions. Generally speaking, the minimum testing plan is two thousand silver dollars less.

This cost is actually very economical. After all, this is heating for the entire city...the entire settlement.

Moreover, two thousand silver dollars is just a simple inspection fee. Once the heating stops running, it will affect the operation of the entire city.

The loss is really hard to estimate.

But what is certain is...it is definitely more expensive than the inspection fee, and more expensive than the inspection fee plus maintenance fee!

It is precisely because of this that Zhou Liu has never stopped the heating system. There are too many balancing considerations in this.

"It's true that there aren't many," someone echoed. There really is more than one repairman with a conscience.

The B-level maintenance engineer became impatient, "Let's check the other sixteen items first... Why didn't he participate?"

The person who was quarreling with him looked at him as if he was mentally retarded, "Let him participate in... you don't want to do any big projects in the settlement in the future?"

The B-level maintenance engineer was agitated when he heard this, but in the end he still said harshly, "Do you think he is really that good?"

The one who showed no signs of weakness said, "The key is yourself... Do you think you are that good and can handle others?"

After one night, three faults had been repaired and seven hidden dangers had been identified.

Although the heating was intermittent throughout the night, in the early morning of the next day, the residents of the settlement were pleasantly surprised to find that the temperature in their homes seemed to be three or four degrees higher.

Don't underestimate these three or four degrees. The difference is really huge. The room temperature in winter is 8 degrees and 11 degrees. That's the difference between heaven and hell.

Not to mention room temperature, the average temperature during the Little Ice Age, which led to the complete collapse of the Ming Dynasty, was about four degrees lower.

The value of troubleshooting hidden dangers is also very high, at least in the coming years, it can reduce a lot of financial expenses.

The key is that the three faults and seven hidden dangers have all been proven to be true.

Then the remaining three faults and nine hidden dangers are basically impossible to fake.

So the next day when everyone was inspecting and repairing, Geng Shougong summoned two of his confidants to discuss the matter.

"This panda...how should we settle matters with him?"

No one can estimate the cost of Qu Jianlei's repair this time. All the reduced losses should be calculated on him? This is unrealistic!

Finally, someone made a suggestion, "Just six hundred silver dollars, no need to add more. At worst, we can let him read the book for free."

This suggestion is actually quite good.

Geng Shougong thought about it and finally nodded, "Yes, books are rare, and we are not lacking in sincerity."

Qu Jianlei has put this matter behind him. He has done what he can do, and there is no need to worry about anything else.

Heating for the residents of the settlement is really important, but... he lives outside the city!

There is a wall between the city and the outside, but the difference is really huge.

At least for heating outside the city, you basically have to find firewood yourself. If the conditions are worse... you can only rely on shaking.

Qu Jianlei's small team is considered to have first-class conditions, with engines using a mixture of oil and energy blocks, but most of the time they rely on firewood.

Claire chopped so much firewood before winter came.

So he really didn't care what the situation was like in the city. He just wanted to cash in the harvest as soon as possible.

He and Hua Scorpion spent two days selling a large part of the loot obtained from Black Wind.

Although the people of Zeuliu talk about the rules, they are not merciless when it comes to collecting stolen goods. Even the trucks of the Black Wind team dare to collect them.

Then the two returned carrying a large amount of water, fuel and ammunition.

After returning, they were shocked to find that Geng Shougong had sent a book. He didn't even ask for a deposit, so he sent another three hundred copies.

Qu Jianlei could vaguely guess that this was the subsequent testing fee, and he could express satisfaction with this payment method.

Furthermore, Spencer found out new news: the Black Wind team was attacked, and a reward of two thousand silver dollars was offered for clues.
