Older ships often have a lot of spare parts.

Of course, it is unlikely that they are brand new, and there are even parts that can be seen to have gone wrong in the past and have been replaced.

But the original mechanics on the transport ship still kept these broken spare parts.

"Because they don't know when this old transport ship will break." Johnson wiped his face, which didn't make his face clean, but added a touch of oil, "This model is so old, it's so old that it's hard to buy parts." So even if it's broken, you have to keep it for backup. ”

As he spoke, he used pliers to cut out a six-sided prism from a broken, repeater-like old part, and said to Xiao Baoshi: "Okay, we have to thank those dead mechanics, if they didn't save all the damaged parts, I wouldn't have been able to find this crystal from this broken particle generator, then I don't know how to repair the particle generator!" ”

Xiao Baoshi has some headaches, because although there are rings that play the role of translators; Although Johnson looked like a strong human from the outside, Xiao Baoshi really didn't understand a word of what he said. So he rubbed his eyebrows and asked Johnson, "So, friend, you can get this old guy moving soon?" ”

"Yes! Every Watt is a natural mechanic! Our talent for mechanics will not disappoint you at all. But soon Johnson's tone darkened, and he sighed, "But, friend, you must know that even I, from the Watts, am only good at repairing. Yes, I can't drive this old antique. As he spoke, he peeked at the other people who were also busy in the power cabin, and said to Xiao Baoshi in a low voice, "You rescued us, but when they found out that the ship was repaired and still couldn't set sail, I think they might be angry with you, especially the Xiong clan and the Cana clan......"

He was very worried about Xiao Baoshi, because the five-meter-tall Man of the Xiong Clan and the Gana Clan, who had a snake tail, were notoriously bad-tempered. And especially when they are angry, losing their minds is even more common: "The guns in your hands, for the out-of-control Youxiong clan and the Cana clan, it is difficult to make them sober up." ”

The Xiong clan and the Cana clan were in a fit of rage, but they didn't think about Xiao Bao being their savior.

"I want to help you, friend, but with this type of transport, the computer is only responsible for auxiliary functions, and everything has to be calculated manually, so I really can't do it." Johnson really has a great talent for repair, as he says, and as he speaks, he takes out useful things from many broken spare parts and assembles a particle generator.

He picked up the particle generator, put it on a jack-like bracket, turned to Xiao Baoshi and asked, "Install it?" ”

Xiao Baoshi understood what Johnson meant, and when he installed it, the power compartment returned to normal, so the problem of how to drive this transport ship became an unavoidable matter. If it is not installed, then maybe Xiao Baoshi can buy a little more time to deal with this problem.

"Put it on, friend, trust me." Xiao Baoshi patted Johnson on the shoulder.

Looking at Xiao Baoshi's back calmly leaving the power cabin, Johnson shook his head helplessly, he sighed, and greeted the others in the power cabin: "Come on, take a hand!" ”

The five-meter-tall Youxiong didn't even need a jack at all, and quickly installed the particle generator on the engine.

And without waiting for Johnson to think about it, the Cana people, who also have maintenance work experience, directly flicked their tails and pulled down the hand brake to start the engine.

The engine was running, and the power room became so noisy that no one except Xiong could hear him clearly, even if he was pulling his throat. It is too old, as Johnson said, about older than his grandfather, and the lifespan of the Watt people, or the intelligent life that has the ability to go into space, is countless times longer than the human beings on Earth.

Getting this engine running is actually an impossible task, even with Johnson. Johnson knew this very well, especially after the power compartment fire, and everyone was in despair. If it weren't for Xiao Baoshi, if it wasn't for him to muster up everyone's energy, it was unlikely that this old engine would be running again.

"Listen to me." Johnson gestured for the others to wear headphones like him, "This transport ship is too old, it's not easy to get it moving!" Xiao saved us, even if it is ...... temporarily" He wanted to help Xiao Baoshi make a foreshadowing, so that the Xiong clan and the Cana clan would not go crazy for a while.

But before he could finish his words, he felt the hull of the ship tremble.

Normally, a transport ship of this tonnage in space will not make the people above feel the bumps, but it is so old that once it runs and turns, it intuitively brings out the shaking.

"Oh my God, how did he do that?" Johnson's lips were also trembling, he took off his headphones, pushed away the tall Youxiong, and ran towards the bridge, "Among these hundreds of people, Xiao can actually find someone to drive this dilapidated antique!" This—this is incredible! ”

And as he ran to the bridge, Johnson froze.

"Fatty, scale three, put away the left swept wing, right, good, steady." After instructing the fat man, Xiao Baoshi ran to the navigator's position again and checked the star map, "Slow down, fat man, don't worry!" Back to half a scale! "But apparently the fat man in the helmsman's position can't handle the old ship as well as he does with the Liberty.

This was followed by the rubbing of the turning hull against a small meteorite, which made the entire transport ship tremble, and almost everyone was thrown down in a moment, and sparks erupted from several places on the bridge. Johnson finally got up, and before he could stand firmly, he heard Xiao Baoshi's voice: "Tube loss!" Johnson, take someone to the port side, hurry! ”

"Don't worry, fatty, this boat can still hold up, you come steadily."

Xiao Baoshi's forehead, in the fall just now, also got a bag, but his methodical instructions finally stabilized the people on this ship.

Not only the fat man, Johnson has also become accustomed to obeying Xiao Baoshi's orders.

"This is the Freedom." Three days later, when the transport ship finally broke away from the meteorite group, Xiao Baoshi was on the bridge and said to the fat man, "This is our Freedom." ”

"Hmm!" The fat man nodded vigorously.

Xiao Baoshi did not let people change the gunwale, although even the most irritable Xiong Shi had completed his order without compromise in the past three days.

"Why?" The fat man didn't understand why Xiao Baoshi didn't do this, he said puzzledly, "On that space battleship, didn't you immediately change the name of the ship?" ”

"You want to be a space pirate?" Xiao Baoshi asked the fat man rhetorically.

"This ship has its own documents, evidence, and its owner does not exist, so after entering the planet H291, it does not belong to us. If you change the name of the ship without a record, you can only forge a new document, otherwise which planet will dock you? If you're not going to be a space pirate, why go for forging documents? Are you sick? ”

Although Xiao Baoshi, like the fat man, is not proficient in interstellar law. But among those hostages, there are maintenance geniuses like Johnson, and brokers who specialize in interstellar trade. In the communication with them, Xiao Baoshi still has a very clear understanding of his situation.

The fat man was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted: "It seems to be the same...... Fuck me! So aren't we busy in vain? Once we arrive on planet H291, even this broken ship will not belong to us! Bullshit Freedom! ”

"The Liberty is a ship that can take us home, Fatty." Xiao Baoshi patted the other party's broad shoulder, "It's in our hearts." ”

"Captain, your ability has not risen, but it has risen to the sky!"

"Am I serious?"

"Pretending to be serious, the fat man can understand." The fat man rolled his eyes disappreciatively.

Xiao Baoshi had no choice but to take the initiative to shut up, because he didn't have the heart to talk to the fat man.

The fact is that the fat man also knows this, but for him: "Captain, don't pretend!" ”

"How to get back to Earth, this question is too profound, I just don't want to think about it for the time being."

"It shouldn't be a problem for the two of us to drive this broken ship to that H291 planet. But think about it, if this broken ship is confiscated by the star defense force according to what you said, how will we live! Damn, these space pirates are clearly out to rob them! Except for a boatload of meat tickets, some food, a broken boat, a cabin of ore that hides people's ears, and then there is nothing soft at all! What a professional thief! ”

Indeed, those space pirates are very professional, professional to this transport ship, there is no currency that can be circulated on the planet H291 or anything at all. As for transport ships and ore? For Xiao Baoshi and Fat Man, who are not the owners of the transport ship at all, what does this have to do with them? Not to mention space, even on Earth, the car or jewelry that the kidnappers robbed during the robbery process has no reason to end up with the meat ticket that escaped from the trap, right?

"Fatty, you're enough!" Xiao Baoshi is also angry, and when he heard this, he was also impatient.

"Why is it that this is all up to me, and it's none of your business?"

But his interrogation did not embarrass the fat man, who spread his hands: "You are the captain, and I am not." ”

"Right? If you call me a scale three, I will scale three; If you tell me to go back to a scale and a half, I'll go back to a half and a half. You're the captain, don't I listen to you? ”

"Then what's going to happen next, you, the captain, always have to come up with a charter! Could it be that the captain is only responsible for pretending? ”

Xiao Baoshi was so choked by him that he couldn't speak, and only after a while did he mutter: "It seems to be said ...... same way."

"Is it supposed to be good?"

Xiao Baoshi thought for a while and patted his thigh: "I have an idea, fatty!" ”

"You say, you say!"

"Why don't we be space pirates! If you sell this broken ship and ore, how can you have a sum of money! ”

The fat man touched his three-layer chin: "Cheng, listen to you, who called you the captain?" ”

"Do you listen to this kind of bad idea? Has your fat invaded your brain cells? Xiao Baoshi shrugged his shoulders, "I'll go sleep for two hours, and I'll change shifts later, you can start the boat." ”

Sell to whom? A place like the black market in space? Could it be that the star map on the transport ship will be marked with coordinates such as the space black market?

Besides, the fuel for this transport ship is really very limited, if you go from the meteorite group to the spaceport of the H291 planet, it can run a few round-trips. But to go somewhere else is obviously nonsense.

So the fat man had to start thinking hard about his future while piloting the transport.

"Did you come up with an idea?" When Xiao Baoshi yawned and came up to change shifts with the fat man, the latter asked him anxiously.

Because they were getting closer and closer to the spaceport of Planet H291, if nothing went wrong, in three hours, they would be within range of Planet H291's defense fleet.
