Chapter 538: You Can’t Afford It
When she heard the old voice, Su Wan’s almond-shaped eyes lit up and her heart was filled with surprise!
She looked towards the voice and immediately saw the figure of a thin but vigorous old man.
“Master, I’m the one who wants to repair the robot!”
As Su Wan spoke, she brought Nono to greet the old man.
The shop assistant was also stunned. He respectfully nodded at the thin old man.
“Hello, Master Liu.”
Master Liu was the best mechanic in the Baishan District. He had already reached the age of retirement. The shop owner had been reluctant to part with Master Liu’s golden name, so he spent more money to rehire him.
Hearing the shop assistant’s words, the old man called Master Liu casually nodded.
He looked at Su Wan’s expectant almond-shaped eyes and felt that this little girl was not bad looking. Her temperament was even more unique, and the most noticeable features were her eyes.
They were so clean, like a pool of autumn water, so clear that one could see the bottom.
Everyone has a love for beauty. Master Liu curled the corners of his lips and said to Su Wan with a smile.
“Little girl, your robot looks very old. It will probably cost a lot of money to repair. Are you sure you don’t want to buy a new one?”
Why is everyone trying to persuade her like this?
Su Wan knew that they were doing this out of kindness, but no matter what, she had to repair Nono.
Su Wan reached out and caressed the metal head of Nono, shaking her head stubbornly at the old man.
“Master Liu, you don’t know. This robot is my family to me. Please help me to repair it. The money to repair it is really not a problem.”
There was still a lot of money in the bank card that Ming Ye gave her. If that was not enough, Su Wan felt that she could continue working.
Although she did not know much about the interstellar language, she would still wash dishes and count goods.
Seeing that Su Wan insisted on fixing Nono and even called Nono her family, the white-haired old man was stunned.
He did not know how many robots he had built and repaired, but there were very few owners who could have feelings for robots.
If there really were such robots, it was mostly because the robots were high-intelligence simulation robots. It was really rare for one to have feelings for an ordinary housekeeping robot like this.
Seeing Su Wan’s anxious and pleading expression, Master Liu immediately understood that this little girl was not joking. He frowned and walked solemnly toward Su Wan.
When he got closer, Master Liu’s gaze was immediately attracted by the short Nono.
He let out a soft “eh” and could not help but reach out to caress the robot’s material.
“Little girl, the material of your robot seems to be a little special.”
Logically speaking, the cost of building a domestic robot was very low, but this robot was actually not the most common iron-nickel alloy!
Su Wan was stunned and immediately asked.
“Master Liu, is it difficult to repair? My robot is like this because someone suddenly removed the electric panel…”
Master Liu was very interested in Nono. He opened the back of Nono’s discharge board and stared at the built-in structure of Nono.
It seemed that this robot was not an ordinary domestic robot. With such a complicated instrument structure and that high-precision metal synthesis chip, it was obvious that it was not a cheap product.
He waved his hand and interrupted Su Wan’s words.
“Little girl, I can tell at a glance that it failed because the electric panel was taken away. I’m asking about its metal material, especially the metal material of this chip.”
As Master Liu spoke, he reached out and knocked on Nono’s metal chip. The interest in his eyes grew stronger.
He had already seen the material used to make Nono’s body outside, but this chip seemed to be more interesting.
He had been building robots for decades, but he rarely saw such exquisite works like Nono’s.
Even those expensive simulation robots might not have such high-precision metal chips!
When Master Liu’s question entered her ears, Su Wan could not help but frown.
“I… I don’t know…”
Su Wan had only spent a short amount of time with Nono, and she had never thought that something like this would happen to Nono. Her understanding of the internal structure of the robot was also very shallow, so she did not ask about Nono’s composition at that time.
Master Liu raised his eyebrows in surprise.
“Little girl, when you bought this robot back then, there should be an instruction manual, right? The metal materials used to make it should be written on it, right?”
When she heard this question, Su Wan’s hands under her sleeves tightened slightly.
She had taken Nono in later, and she was Nono’s second master. How could there be an instruction manual when she found it?
“That instruction manual was lost.”
“Lost?!”
Master Liu pursed his lips and muttered subconsciously, “then there’s still a tool test…”
Seeing how Su Wan cared so much about this robot, he thought that Su Wan would take good care of these things.
Su Wan wanted to say something, but after a while, she lowered her eyes embarrassedly.
“Master Liu, are you able to see what this robot is made of now? Can’t it be replaced with other metals?”
Master Liu ignored Su Wan’s words and waved at the shop assistant not far away.
“Xiao Luo, come over here and help me take out the metal detector.”
Su Wan was delighted when she heard this. She immediately stood beside Nono obediently and gave Master Liu a large space so that he could better inspect Nono.
The shop assistant quickly came out with tools. They were all instruments that Su Wan could not understand. After Master Liu fiddled with them for a while, he raised his eyebrows proudly at Su Wan.
“A small problem like metal testing is not difficult for me. If you want to repair the robot, of course, it is best to use raw materials. If you want to change the materials, it will impossible to repair it.”
Su Wan nodded in realization. Just as she was about to say something, the shop assistant stared at the metal testing instrument and shouted at Master Liu excitedly.
“Master Liu, look! With the density and strength of the metal in this chip, it is silver tear ore!”
“what?! silver tear——”
Master Liu, who was chatting with Su Wan, immediately lowered his head when he heard this.
When he saw the numbers on the metal element detector, Master Liu’s eyes instantly widened.
He had long guessed that such a sophisticated chip structure should be a kind of precious metal. He did not expect it to be silver tear!
Whether it was used to make robot chips or aircraft fuel, silver tear had excellent performance. It had always been the favorite metal in foundries!
However, the silver tear ore was extremely rare, so it became even more precious.
As the planet with the richest mineral resources in the Cerulean Galaxy, planet Locke did not have any mines that could acquire silver tear ores!
Master Liu raised his head and sighed at Su Wan.
“Little girl, I advise you to give up on repairing it. This palm-sized silver tear ore can be sold for a sky-high price. You can’t afford it.”
