CHAPTER XXI

Of course, Fang Linyan didn't know that he was being watched by strong onlookers,

He was feeling that the work he was doing at this time was indeed extremely difficult.

On the one hand, it is necessary to pay attention to meteorites that may appear at any time, and on the other hand, it is necessary to overcome the slight tremor caused by SCI flight.

More importantly, in weightlessness, the control of SCI has to be more careful.

If the difficulty of controlling SCI is 1 in normal operation, then the difficulty of controlling SCI in the weightless state of flight is at least three!

After the dazzling welding light was filtered, it fell on Fang Linyan's retina, giving him the feeling that it was actually a gorgeous birth.

He turned his head to look at the steel plate three meters away on the right, on which there were several lines more than half a meter long, and at a glance he could distinguish the skewed welding marks.

It's like an ugly centipede crawling on a steel plate.

This is the work he has just completed, to be honest, Fang Linyan is very dissatisfied, if it is in normal times, then he himself will immediately return to work and do it again.

The only commendable thing is that the quality of the welding is still passable, not only exceeding the failure rate required by Latvis regulations, but also exceeding the requirements of the standard.

But if there is a flaw, it means that there is a deficiency,

Fang Linyan's pursuit is not to exceed the failure rate, but to achieve 100% success, because the mechanical dire wolf core and the mechanical spear falcon egg themselves do not allow any flaws to exist.

Fang Linyan turned his head and looked at the weld in front of him, it was obvious that it was much better, in terms of appearance, at least it was straight,

Not only that, Fang Linyan felt that he seemed to be starting to find his feelings in this extreme environment, and nodded with satisfaction.

Then Fang Linyan began to continue working.

...

Half an hour later,

Latvis, who was in the captain's room, was already breathing heavily, and his face flushed and slammed his fist on the table next to him.

Looking at the appearance of Latves at this time, it is as if it is directly pasted on the screen.

"Shortened! Shortened!"

The fault he repaired this time was to remove a half-damaged Azak solenoid valve and replace it with a new one, and then weld it to a hydraulic press. ”

"The difficulty of dealing with this fault was evaluated by the light brain as three stars, which is one of the most difficult failures in this repair. ”

"But it only took him thirty-seven seconds!"

Sanchez laughed:

"This guy is really a genius, he is still making progress in actual operation! If this continues, it is entirely possible to achieve the goal before the spare engine can no longer hold on!"

Sanchez said as he looked around, and suddenly picked up half a bottle of whiskey next to him.

I pulled out the stopper and blew directly on the bottle.

For him, since waking up in the sleeping cabin, he felt a huge pressure, and at this time, seeing Fang Linyan's performance, he felt that the pressure on his body was finally vented like a tide.

Of course, something is needed to cushion the tense nerves.

But after seeing the bottle of wine in his hand clearly, Latves immediately screamed, pounced on it and snatched it back:

"You bastard! This is my only fifty years of treasure. ”

Sanchez was about to speak, when suddenly the screen in the captain's room flashed red, and a series of sirens sounded!

Immediately after that, the cold female electronic synthesized voice of the light brain made a prompt:

"Collision warning, repeat, collision warning, the density of the meteorite belt ahead suddenly increased by 416%......"

"With three minutes to go into the meteorite dense area, do you need to give immediate warning on the Coles?"

Latves and Sanchez glanced at each other and shook their heads slowly, the indifference in their eyes was unusually clear.

Their motives are fundamentally clear.

The people who will benefit from the early warning are Jeha and the "battery", who will greatly reduce the risk of accidents, and most of them will retract into the hull.

It was the two of them who lost money, which meant that the spare engine would inevitably be damaged, and even if they could go back alive, they would face huge compensation and hard days.

Without early warning, the risk of accidents with the battery increases significantly...... But so what?

What's the matter with these two bastards?

On the contrary, there is still a chance that the spare engine will be saved!

Latves looked at Fang Linyan, who was busy on the screen, and said indifferently:

"Come on, battery, good luck. ”

Although Fang Linyan was not warned of a collision, soon, the mechanical spear falcon flying in front brought him news that the number of meteorites in front of him had begun to increase.

Fang Linyan frowned, and then began to continue working.

Suddenly, there was a violent "snap" of the engineering ship blocking the front! The energy shield on the surface of the body suddenly appeared and turned light red!

It's an accelerating meteorite!

This kind of meteorite is not very common in the meteorite belt, and it is certainly not rare.

Possibly due to collisions with each other, or possibly due to explosions, these meteorites gain extraordinary speeds and fly at high speeds in the meteorite belt.

Even if the engineering ship has an early warning mechanism, it is often caught off guard!

After the engineering ship was hit by this collision, it suddenly rolled over and flew seventy or eighty meters away.

Then Fang Linyan saw a large number of meteorites and dust flying madly from the front, and he instinctively wanted to make a dodge move,

I was stunned before I remembered that I was in SCI, and hurriedly manipulated SCI to circumvent it.

But sometimes half a second slower is the separation of life and death,

Just as the thruster under the SCI spewed flames, a fist-sized fragment of meteorite flew over and smashed the engine below the SCI!

Immediately, there was a bang, and the jet engine immediately caught fire and exploded, and the huge thrust generated immediately pushed the SCI towards the rear, and disappeared into the vast universe behind in an instant!

Seeing this scene, whether it is Jeha, Letovis, or the first mate Sanchez, they are all cold!!

Although the three of them were selfish, they definitely didn't want Fang Linyan to die here!

Fang Linyan's life and death are insignificant to them,

But this means that it will be very difficult to repair Engine 2, and it will not be a matter of losing money!

If Pandora's banned additives are added, and the meteorite area cannot be flown out in the next eight hours, then everyone is really going to enter the escape capsule and be a space trapeze.

At this time, it was still Jeha who was decisive and immediately shouted in the communication channel:

"You guys lock on with radar right away, and I'll fly down to save people!"

Jeha is concerned about Fang Linyan's safety, of course, it is not that the two have a deep friendship.

But because Fang Linyan had any accidents, this guy would no longer have any excuses, and he could only control the SCI to go up by himself.

For Jeha, saving Fang Linyan is equivalent to saving himself.

However, just as Jeha was about to put away the protective shield and fly out to save people, a huge meteorite spun and flew in front of him.

Jeha was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly activated the emergency procedure, and the light brain took over the engineering ship by itself.

So the engineering ship first launched a missile to blow up this huge meteorite away from the normal flight trajectory.

The angle of the shield was then adjusted to allow the massive meteorite to crash through the slope.

In this way, it is somewhat similar to the feeling of "four or two thousand pounds", which successfully bounced the meteorite away.

Around this, the energy shield had turned dark red in an instant, and the engineering ship itself was also knocked out of the hundreds of meters, and a series of alarms sounded inside, and the red light flashed continuously.

The light brain kept popping up prompts:

"Alarm, the durability value of the shield has dropped below the warning line, and it will take more than five minutes to return to normal. ”

And fortunately, at the time of the collision, the light brain also specially chose the direction of being knocked into outer space.

Otherwise, once it collided with the hull of the Coles, it would definitely be a tragedy of shipwreckage and death.

However, just after Jha hurriedly restored the balance of the engineering ship, he saw a black dot below and quickly flew up.

He took a closer look, and it was the SCI that was shocked before, and Jeha couldn't help but lose his voice:

"How is this possible?"

In fact, if it were an ordinary person who controlled this SCI, then nine times out of ten it would be more than lucky.

But sitting inside is Fang Linyan, a pervert who has all the all-round qualities of ordinary people, even if strength and agility are not very useful in SCI, but hidden qualities such as neural reflexes are still useful.

In the whirlwind of being blown away, it is difficult for ordinary people to make any effective reaction actions at all, because even if the nerves can keep up, the vision cannot keep up.

But Fang Linyan, who released the mechanical spear falcon, was a man with dual vision!

He didn't panic at all after the collision, ignoring the pain and dizziness, but focused his attention on the field of vision projected by the mechanical spear falcon, and when he saw a meteorite next to him, he began to control SCI's mechanical arm.

Suddenly return your hand, dig!

The mechanical fingers suddenly rubbed against the meteorite block and splashed with fire, and the meteorite, which was originally relatively stationary, was suddenly pulled and rolled and shot away.
