Chapter 59 Inquiry and Honesty

Old Wu took Chen Ming to a seemingly ordinary bar in the core city of the space station.

The feeling Chen Ming had here was similar to the atmosphere of the bar in his previous life.

Chen Ming had been here with his colleagues when he was working before, but he never liked it, and it was the same now.

However, Chen Ming did not show it on his face, and continued to follow Old Wu into the bar and came to the counter.

Old Wu chatted with the bartender very familiarly, ordered a glass of wine, handed the menu next to it to Chen Ming and said, "I'll treat you, you can drink whatever you want."

"So generous? But I'm not interested in wine, just drink it."

Chen Ming did not accept Old Wu's kindness, and he had no intention of taking off his helmet for the time being.

After all, the Iron Ore has not even installed the hyperspace channel system yet. If his identity is discovered, he may not be able to escape even if he wants to.

Old Wu shrugged and did not force Chen Ming to drink. He himself drank a few glasses of wine quickly, and his face gradually flushed.

Chen Ming took advantage of the fact that Old Wu was not completely drunk yet and asked directly: "Old Wu, do you know how to get the identification code of the spacecraft?"

"Identification code? It's simple. Anyone in your repair shop can help you change it. It only costs a little money. It's quite cheap."

Chen Ming frowned when he heard Old Wu's very casual answer and asked: "Won't this be found out?"

"No, we have a cooperation with a shipyard. They gave us a batch of usable identification codes in advance. We just stick them according to the style, and then import the identity of the ship owner. No one will come to check carefully unless there is any trouble."

"It's that simple?"

"It's that simple. How complicated do you think it can be?"

"Okay."

Chen Ming thought that the identification code with very important identity and spacecraft identification functions would be as difficult to deal with as the official identity code, but it turned out to be so casual.

He silently wrote down the process that Old Wu said and continued: "There is one more thing. Do you know what this thing is used for?"

Chen Ming took out the terminal and called up a photo on it.

Photo of the mechanical family chip

Chen Ming didn't mention this thing when he sold it twice before, but kept it with him, mainly to check if there was any information about it.

If the data inside the chip can be extracted, it will definitely be much more beneficial to him than selling it directly.

But unfortunately, Chen Ming has not been able to find any useful information in the past two days, so he just took the opportunity to ask Lao Wu now.

After taking a few glances and recognizing what it is, Lao Wu said: "I remember that this thing seems to have no use."

"Mechanical life and human thinking logic are different. Their chips have not been deciphered yet. Even if you get the chip, it is of no value. Only Yu Hui may want it."

Lao Wu suddenly smiled and said: "Just a joke, but the material itself is not bad. You should be able to make a small profit by dismantling and selling it."

Chen Ming shook his head with some regret, put away the terminal and said: "Okay, that's it."

Anyway, this chip is impossible to sell. For the time being, he does not lack the materials on the chip, nor does he lack the money from selling the materials.

Put it aside for now, maybe it will be useful someday in the future.

Actually, Chen Ming wanted to ask about the price of the depreciated spacecraft.

But the repair factory actually has them. Chen Ming had already looked at them in the afternoon, so there was no need to ask now.

So Chen Ming stood up and said, "How much is your wine? I'll pay for you."

Old Wu said with some surprise, "So good?"

"Just treat it as the same as before. You have to pay for asking someone to do something. Or if you have questions for me, we can make it even."

Chen Ming stopped paying and looked at Old Wu.

He knew very well that Old Wu must have something to tell him.

He had only known Old Wu for a short time, and he had just cheated him out of a lot of money, but he turned around and said he was treating him. It was totally unlike his style.

Chen Ming was sure that it was not Old Wu's conscience that was wrong, but that he had some other purpose.

Thinking about what he had just agreed with the factory director, it was certain that Old Wu's current behavior was related to the factory director.

Old Wu drank the remaining wine in the glass in one gulp, wiped his mouth and said, "Hey, there really is one. Let's go out and talk."

Old Wu paid for the drinks himself and took Chen Ming to an alley outside the bar.

It was rare for him to find this dark corner in a place like the space station that was kept bright for 24 hours.

Old Wu looked at both sides of the alley, and after confirming that there was no one, he said to Chen Ming, "The factory director needs me to confirm your situation and find out why you came to the space station."

"?"

Chen Ming didn't expect Old Wu to be so direct, and asked back, "You asked directly like this, aren't you afraid that I will talk nonsense?"

Old Wu showed a smile that Chen Ming had seen several times and said, "Isn't this a deal that we both want to make?"

"You ask me, I ask you, and everyone is happy if we tell the truth. There will be opportunities to work together in the future, isn't it great?"

Chen Ming was silent for a while and said, "Indeed."

Telling the truth is good for everyone. The factory manager can feel at ease, and Chen Ming can gain the initial trust of Lao Wu and the factory manager.

And for Chen Ming, if you don't care about his background and only care about his purpose, then he actually has nothing to hide.

Chen Ming organized his words and said, "What I have to do now is to make money to get a new spaceship, and then go to the prosperous star field."

Lao Wu waited for a while, and found that Chen Ming had no intention of continuing to talk, and asked, "That's it?"

"That's it, I haven't decided what to do next, I plan to stay in the space station for a year or two, and leave when I make money."

Lao Wu looked at Chen Ming with some disbelief and said, "Earn enough money for a spaceship in a year or two? Even if you already have one on hand, it's not easy to do."

"This is my business. I have already thought of the idea of ​​making money before, but I have to experiment."

Lao Wu heard the hidden meaning in Chen Ming's words, and his eyebrows raised.

Chen Ming immediately said, "I just need to collect some obsolete weapons from the repair shop. Employees should have an internal price, right?"

"Yes, there are, but why do you want these things that can only be melted down?"

"Refurbishment."

Old Wu looked at Chen Ming with some doubts.

He knew Chen Ming's skills, and he also knew that people with such skills must have some understanding of the situation of weapons.

It should be clear that the difference between second-hand refurbished goods and first-hand original factory goods is visible to the naked eye. How can you make money if you can't sell things?

Chen Ming naturally wouldn't bother to explain more. He knew the weapons he had repaired best, and he couldn't tell whether they were second-hand or not.

This is where you can make money.

Anyway, he just mentioned it now to let Old Wu have an impression. If he really wants to make money, he still has to talk to the factory director about this.

Old Wu also saw that Chen Ming didn't want to say anything more, and what he knew now was enough for him to go back and report.

He suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, that's it, I have to report."

"Also, I'll give you a little news. Yuhui may attack the space station in the next few days. If possible, it's best to live in the city."

"And tomorrow's job opening will also be done in the city. You can come here directly tomorrow morning and I'll take you there."

"Okay."

Chen Ming agreed and left the alley soon.

And Lao Wu still leaned against the wall of the alley.

After Chen Ming's figure completely disappeared from his sight, he took out the terminal and contacted the factory director.
