Chapter 5: Fires around the spaceship

"Alert! Alert-! In the blur, only these two words kept appearing in Zhou Xin's ears. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Slowly opening his eyes, Zhou Xin saw the command cabin he was very familiar with at first glance. Before he could wonder about the mess in the command cabin, he subconsciously asked in a weak tone:

"Did we escape?"

"Brother Captain, are you awake?" As soon as Chu heard Zhou Xin's voice, Atlas instantly became excited, and she replied as quickly as she could, "We have successfully escaped the pursuit of the spherical battleship." ”

"That's good—" Zhou Xin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this answer, and then he asked, "Where are we—now?" ”

"Voyager has now made a forced landing on the surface of a planet, but there is no way to determine where the spacecraft is in the universe for the time being."

"Crash-landed on the planet's surface?" In a few words of conversation, Zhou Xin slowly regained his ability to think, and then he heard a series of alarms echoing in the command cabin.

As if a conditioned reflex, Zhou Xin bounced up from his seat at once, but soon he involuntarily sat back because of the defenseless gravity. He glanced at the current condition of the Voyager on the screen in front of him, which had been broken into two or three petals, and asked, "Why is the ship's condition worse than before?" What happened when I was unconscious? What the? There was also a serious fire around the Voyager? At this time, he had realized the urgency of the situation, "Forget it, don't tell me what's going on yet, let's solve the current problem first." Voyager, start the engines, let's get out of this place first. ”

"Your Excellency, the order cannot be carried out. The ship has lost all its secondary engines, and its main engine has been badly damaged and cannot be started temporarily. ”

"If we could start the engine, we wouldn't be stopping here now?" Atlas reluctantly followed the Voyager.

Hearing this answer, Zhou Xin's brows furrowed, "Can't you go?" Then it seems that the only way to put out the fire is to find a way. ”

"We're already doing that." Atlas replied, "But there are all kinds of disasters going on inside the ship, and we simply can't send all the robots outside." In addition, the fire outside was too big, especially the big fire in front of the spaceship. As she spoke, she released images of her surroundings on the screen, "With our current capabilities, there is no way to extinguish it." ”

At this time, a new alarm appeared in the voice of the Voyager, "Warning, due to the severe damage to the outer compartment, the heat from the combustion and the thick smoke have begun to invade the outer third layer area on a large scale." The core has been completely sealed, but due to the damage suffered during previous attacks, the core has not been able to be completely sealed, and heat and smoke continue to invade. In addition, an abnormal increase in temperature in the vicinity of the fuel tank was also detected. ”

"Send some robots around the fuel tank and find a way to stop the temperature from rising there." Zhou Xin commanded, and then he stared at the screen and said, "All that's left is to find a way to solve the fire outside as soon as possible." Looking at the raging fires around him, Zhou Xin suddenly realized something, "Wait? Are there plants on this planet? Is there a water source there? ”

"It's too late." As soon as Zhou Xin said this, Atlas replied, "People have already asked the probe to investigate the neighborhood, and the nearest river here is at least ten kilometers away." It's not that far, but it's hard to get to that river to extinguish the flames. ”

This answer made Zhou Xin feel very disappointed, but in addition to being disappointed, Zhou Xin seemed to get some hints from the little girl's answer. After pondering for a while, he finally woke up like a dream, "Extinguish? Wait, why do we have to put out fires, just remove them? Thinking of this, he hurriedly gave a new order to the Voyager, "Don't put out the fire anymore, let those robots outside move the burning trees around." ”

"That's right." Atlas also understood at once, "Why didn't people think of it before?" It's stupid. ”

As the Voyager conveyed Zhou Xin's order, the robots outside soon began to move. But compared to putting out fires, the work they have to do now is not much simpler. Not to mention how much the burning heat will affect the robot's movements, it is not easy to remove the burning objects from the combustibles, not simply dragging the burning trees away from the Voyager, but also considering the order in which the burning trees are stacked under the Voyager. If the bottom of the incendiary material were to be moved, it would most likely cause the entire support underneath to collapse the Voyager, causing further damage to the hull, even considering the different degrees of combustion of the incendiary. As a result, the robot's work became more cautious, and even Atlas joined in the processing.

I have to mention how exaggerated the previous landing process of the Voyager was. It took nearly a day for the collective action of thousands of robots to clear about half of the trees, and the remaining half had already been reduced to ashes during the robot's actions. Although the method that Zhou Xin came up with was indeed a little stupid, this stupid method finally worked. As the robot cleared out the surrounding burning material little by little, the fire around the Voyager slowly decreased. The temperature in the cabin also slowly decreased, and at the end of the operation, it even began to cool down.

However, after learning the news, Zhou Xin did not relax at all. At this time, he knew very well in his heart that this was just the solution to the most urgent problem at the moment. Next, more trouble awaited him inside the Voyager.

In the process of extinguishing the fire by the outside robots, Zhou Xin has simply treated the wounds on his body, and learned everything that happened to him during the time he was unconscious from Atlas, and also learned about the damage suffered by the spacecraft from the Voyager's report. While he was glad that he was able to get out of the hands of the spherical battleship again, what worried him even more was the current situation of the Voyager......
