Chapter 510: Chapter 285: Which department are you from?
(Congratulations to the new helmsman “Moment of Splendor..”)
The call was over, and Wang Ji, looking at the old butler beside him, said with a smile, “Old buddy, this is the last transfer of these two months; vacation is just around the corner.”
Following Wang Ji’s instructions, the aged butler efficiently issued one order after another, treating each detail with the usual rigor.
Watching the transport ship gradually approach their own vessel and then slowly disappear into the hold.
From the moment that transport ship appeared, everything was under surveillance, and it didn’t matter whether the crew was from Loki Heavy Industry; no one took it lightly.
The final docking procedures would be completed within the lower transfer compartment of the transport ship.
The transport ship stopped inside the vast hangar, the hatch opened, and workers from the Cold Land Test Field appeared one after another.
One by one, personnel dressed in work uniforms lined up in order.
In total, thirty-two people.
Then Rodrick, dressed in a Mechanical Master’s suit, appeared, followed by two men in standard repair uniforms.
Rodrick was obviously a familiar face, and since his appearance, many people had come over to greet him.
As workers of the vessel, they had interfaced with Rodrick many times before, and this time was no exception. Rodrick kept his usual smile, the charming middle-aged man being very cordial with the ordinary workers.
“York, long time no see.”
“Langpson, still that poker face, haha.”
“Tsks tsk, who do I see here, Little Kunter, are you still in charge of the Mecha storage this time?”
As Rodrick accurately called out one familiar face after another, the atmosphere in the transfer compartment became lively.
“Mr. Rodrick, Chairman Wang is already waiting for you in Cambridge, should we go up now?”
A young worker came over and said respectfully.
“Oh, of course, we can’t keep Mr. Wang waiting.”
Rodrick gestured with both hands, hurriedly signaling him to lead the way.
He led the two engineers from the repair department following the young worker.
The remaining thirty-two people lined up accordingly and followed the vessel’s crew to the Mecha storage area.
It was only after Rodrick finally received the orders issued by Wang Ji that the Mecha was formally transferred.
The procedure was the same every time, never simplified, showing the meticulousness Wang Ji applied to the matter.
However…
The only loophole was that Rodrick and his accompanying personnel didn’t need a security check!
This was the only anomaly in an otherwise tightly stitched plan.
Of course, for Rodrick, who was well-acquainted with the transfer rules, he had already fully revealed this to the “repairman” accompanying him.
As they walked along, Rodrick talked with the leading personnel, while the two behind him would subtly press a finger against the wall when passing through certain corners or tactically complex areas.
A substance, much like chewing gum, was then stuck to various hidden locations along the corridor.
The vessel, coming from Meteorite Base, had few personnel onboard, apart from those meeting the criteria necessary to operate the ship, there were less than two squads of combat personnel.
Of course, these combat squads were carefully selected members of the Family Guards.
At this moment, they were distributed in the weapon control room and the Mecha storage area.
From the lowest docking compartment, to the crew rest area, the storage area, and finally arriving at the bridge.
The worker turned around and said, “Mr. Rodrick, Chairman Wang is already waiting for you in the command area of the bridge.”
“Thank you.”
Rodrick nodded his head in thanks, then led the two directly into the bridge’s entryway.
Layer by layer on the escalator, rhythmic footsteps echoed in the cavernous bridge, and no one spoke.
Except for the mecha engineer with the stubble, whose fingers occasionally lightly pressed against the wall.
On the fourth floor of the bridge, the first and second floors were for basic personnel, while the third and fourth floors were combined into a command area.
As the three men appeared at the entrance to the command area, the metallic doors opened and they finally came face to face.
Wang Ji stood on the second floor of the bridge, looking down at Rodrick and his two companions entering.
“Old friend, it’s good to see you again.”
“You’re still as robust as ever, Loki Heavy Industry needs you.”
The two exchanged cordial greetings, one looking up, the other down.
From the entrance to the escalator that leads to the second floor of the bridge, there was a distance of several dozen meters.
Rodrick, while greeting, naturally stepped forward.
“Mr. Wang, I hear this is the Ge-R’s final test, is that right?”
“Indeed, this is the ultimate version before the competition, and after the mecha test, the data will be integrated into the group’s black box. Then you can represent Loki Heavy Industry in the interstellar mecha competition. This will be our company’s decisive and powerful step into the mecha field.”
“It wouldn’t be possible without your wise leadership.”
Rodrick said with a smile, having now reached directly below the command console, looking up at Wang Ji’s figure already close at hand.
The distance from the second floor to the first floor of the command area was less than four meters.
At this moment, the heads of the two men beside Rodrick also slightly lifted.
With the light above, Wang Ji could now see the faces of the two.
A casual glance inadvertently made Wang Ji’s eyelids twitch lightly, and he addressed the two men, “Wait, Rod, which department of the Cold Land Base do those two belong to?”
Rodrick stopped in confusion, his neck veins lightly pulsing for a moment before returning to normal, then looked at the two men, signaling them to speak themselves.
The bearded burly man spoke timidly, “Repair Department.”
Wang Ji then directed his gaze to the other side, “And you?”
“Chairman, I am also from the Repair Department, we are colleagues.”
Both exhibited the same sincere trepidation, and were dressed in the unmistakably proper attire of repair engineers.
Logically, this should have been a trivial matter.
Hearing this dialogue, Rodrick looked up in surprise and then smiled, about to proceed upstairs.
“Hold on, stop.”
Rodrick looked at Wang Ji, who had called for a stop, in surprise. Normally, this step would have passed very quickly, what was different today?
He had reviewed every step from the beginning in his mind, and there seemed to be no issues.
Wang Ji frowned and asked, “Didn’t anyone from the Elite Worker Repair Department come?”
Hearing Wang Ji say this, Rodrick was somewhat puzzled; he usually only knew that personnel came from the Repair Department, without knowing the specifics in such detail.
At that moment, the bearded engineer quickly spoke up, “Chairman, I am from the Elite Worker Repair Department, having recently been promoted from the Repair Department, as certified by Rodrick Mechanical Master.”
“Oh, right, I haven’t had the chance to report this to you yet.” Rodrick also looked up and said with a smile.
“Oh, is that so,” Wang Ji’s tone became more relaxed as he spoke offhandedly.
However, those below didn’t see the instant twitch under Wang Ji’s scalp, or the slight tap he gave to the old steward standing beside him.
Wang Song had been standing quietly bowed at his side, and when he felt the discreet tap by Wang Ji, his eyes narrowed emitting a cold light, and several veins bulged on his ancient, pine-like arms.
His head bowed even lower, moving closer to Wang Ji as if to report something normally.
