BXBX NOVEL Chapter 487
Chapter 487
While paying attention to meteorites that might appear at any time, he must overcome the slight tremor caused by SCI flight.
More importantly, in zero gravity, the SCI must be controlled with even more caution.
If the difficulty of controlling the SCI was 1 when operating under normal conditions, then the difficulty of controlling the SCI in zero gravity was at least 3!
After the dazzling welding light was filtered, Fang Linyan felt that it was the magnificence of life.
He turned to look at the steel plate 3 meters away on the right. There were several half-meter-long steel plates on it. The skewed welding marks could be distinguished at a glance.
It was like an ugly centipede crawling on the steel plate.
This was a job he had just completed. To be honest, Fang Linyan was very dissatisfied with it. If it were normal times, he would immediately redo it.
The only thing worthy of praise was that the quality of the welding still passed. Not only did it exceed the failure rate required by Latvis, it even exceeded the requirements.
But if there were flaws, it meant there were shortcomings.
Fang Linyan’s pursuit was not to exceed the failure rate, but to achieve perfection, because he wouldn’t allow Mechanical Dire Wolf Heart and Mechanical Gyrfalcon Egg to have any flaw.
Fang Linyan looked at the weld in front of him. This one was obviously much better. In terms of appearance, at least it was straight.
Not only that, Fang Linyan felt that he seemed to have found the touch in this extreme environment. He nodded with satisfaction.
Then Fang Linyan continued to work.
…
Half an hour later.
Latvous in the captain’s room was breathing heavily. He punched the table next to him with a flushed face.
Looking at Latvis’s appearance at this time, he wished he could paste his face directly onto the screen.
“It’s shortened! Really shortened!”
“The failure he repaired this time was to dismantle a half-destroyed Azak solenoid valve and replace it with a brand new one, then he had to weld a hydraulic press to it.”
“The difficulty of repairing this failure is evaluated by Optical Brain as 3 stars. It is one of the most difficult failure to repair this time.”
“But it only took him 37 seconds!”
Sanchez burst out laughing,
“This guy is really a genius. He is still improving in actual operations! If this continues, it is entirely possible to achieve the goal before the backup engine fails!”
As Sanchez spoke, he looked around and suddenly picked up the half bottle of whiskey next to him.
He pulled out the stopper and started drinking it directly.
For him, he had felt tremendous pressure since he woke up from the hibernation pod. When he saw Fang Linyan’s performance, he felt that his pressure was finally released like a tide.
So, he needed something to calm the tense nerves.
But after seeing the bottle of wine in his hand clearly, Latvis immediately screamed and snatched it back,
“You bastard! This is my only fifty years wine.”
When Sanchez was about to speak, the screen in the captain’s room flashed red and a series of alarms sounded!
Then the cold female synthetic electronic sound of Optical Brain mechanically made a prompt,
“Collision warning. Repeat, collision warning. The density of the meteorite belt ahead suddenly increased by 416%…”
“We are about to enter the meteorite dense area in 3 minutes. Do we need to sound the alarm in Coles immediately?”
Latvis and Sanchez looked at each other and shook their heads slowly. The indifference in their eyes was particularly clear.
Their motivations were actually quite clear at their core.
If they warned, the people who benefitted from the warning were Jha and “Battery”. They would greatly reduce the risk of accidents and retreated back into the ship.
But it was the two of them who suffered a loss. That meant that the backup engine would inevitably be damaged. Even if they could go back alive, they would face huge compensation and a life of hardship.
So what if their risk increases significantly?
What does it have to do with us?
On the contrary, there is still a chance of saving the backup engine!
Latvis looked at Fang Linyan who was busy on the screen and said indifferently,
“Battery, good luck.”
Although Fang Linyan did not receive the collision warning, the [Mechanical Gyrfalcon] flying ahead soon brought him news that the number of meteorites ahead had begun to increase.
Fang Linyan frowned, then he continued working.
Suddenly, the engineering ship blocking the front made a loud sound! The energy shield suddenly emerged and turned light red!
This was an accelerated meteorite!
This kind of meteorite was rare in the meteorite belt.
It might be due to mutual collisions or explosions. This type of meteorites had acquired extraordinary speeds and was flying at high speeds in the meteorite belt.
Even if the engineering ship received the warning, it would still be caught off guard!
After the engineering ship was hit by this collision, it suddenly rolled and flew 80 meters away.
Then Fang Linyan saw a large number of meteorites and dust flying madly from the front. He instinctively wanted to dodge.
After a moment of confusion, he remembered that he was in the SCI. He hurriedly controlled the SCI to avoid it.
But sometimes slowing down for half a second would decide life and death.
Just as the thruster below the SCI spurted out flames, a fist-sized meteorite fragment flew over and hit the engine below the SCI hard!
The jet engine immediately caught fire and exploded. The huge thrust generated immediately pushed the SCI backward quickly. In an instant, he disappeared into the vast universe behind!
Seeing this scene, Jha, Latvis, and Sanchez felt desperate!!
Although the 3 of them are selfish, they definitely did not want Fang Linyan to die here!
Fang Linyan’s life and death were of no importance to them.
But this meant that it was very difficult to repair the second engine. It was no longer about losing money!
If the banned Pandora additives were added and they couldn’t fly out of the meteorite belt, everyone would really have to enter the escape pod and be strayed in space.
At this time, Jha decisively shouted in the communication channel,
“You guys use radar to track him immediately. I will rescue him!”
Jha was concerned about Fang Linyan’s safety of course not because of their deep friendship.
But because if something happened to Fang Linyan, he had to put on SCI to repair it.
For Jha, saving Fang Linyan was equivalent to saving himself.
However, just when Jha was about to remove the protective shield and fly out to rescue him, another huge meteorite flew toward him.
Jha was shocked by this. He hurriedly started the emergency procedure and let Optical Brain take over the control of the engineering ship.
The engineering ship first launched a missile to blow up the huge meteorite and deviate it from its normal flight path.
Then it adjusted the shield angle and let the huge meteorite slide away from the side.
In this way, the meteorite was bounced away.
Even so, the energy shield turned dark red in an instant, and the engineering ship itself was knocked hundreds of meters away. A series of alarms sounded inside.
Optical Brain kept prompting,
“Warning, the durability of the protective shield has dropped below the warning line. It will take more than 5 minutes to return to normal.”
Fortunately, during the collision, Optical Brain specifically chose to be knocked away toward outer space.
Otherwise, once it collided with Coles, both ships would be doomed.
However, just after Jha hurriedly restored the balance of the engineering ship, he unexpectedly saw a black spot flying up quickly from below.
He took a closer look and saw that it was the SCI that had been knocked away earlier. Jha couldn’t help but say,
“How can this be?”
In fact, if it were an ordinary person controlling this SCI, he would most likely be dead.
But Fang Linyan had broken through the limit of an ordinary human. Even if strength and agility were useless in SCI, hidden abilities such as neural reflexes were still useful.
While swirling away, it was difficult for ordinary people to make any effective reaction actions, because even if their nerves could keep up, their vision couldn’t.
But Fang Linyan who released [Mechanical Gyrfalcon] had double vision!
He didn’t panic at all after the collision. He ignored the pain and dizziness and focused on the vision projected by [Mechanical Gyrfalcon]. He spotted a meteorite next to him and began to control the SCI’s mechanical arm.
Then he suddenly withdrew the mechanical arm and grabbed!
The mechanical fingers immediately rubbed against the meteorite, causing sparks everywhere. The meteorite, which had been relatively stationary, was suddenly pulled and rolled away.
TL: Can he still repair in such a dense meteorites? Or his focus will reach an unprecedented level?
