[Apocalyptic Sci-Fi] [Mecha Development] [Industrial Construction] [Ensemble Cast Growth]
The mecha isn't broken. The service has just been discontinued.
In 2096, the Galaxy Industrial Technology Catalog shut down operational support for a batch of equipment.
The repaired transport vehicle won't start, and the only thing left on the old mecha he bought outright is a single notice:
"Ownership remains valid. Operational service has ended."
Just like that, the 380 yuan owed to repairman Lu Heng becomes an unpaid debt.
He still has an old mecha he's spent seventeen days repairing, along with an incomplete offline development core.
If the original controls won't work, he'll rebuild them himself.
Find parts, work out the design, modify the controls, practice piloting, then set up a mecha workshop that can take jobs and deliver the goods.
From hauling cargo and supplying water to getting more old mecha back to work.
This time, the people who do the work will hold the switch to the machines.
