"How damaged is the Voyager?" Zhou Xin hesitated for a moment, and then asked with a solemn expression.

Zhou Xin's voice was not loud, but it was still heard by many people around. Those who heard the question quickly calmed down from the euphoria of successfully escaping the pursuit. With these people taking the lead, it didn't take long for the originally noisy command cabin to be completely quiet. All eyes were on Atlas on the screen, silently waiting for her answer.

"The damage to the ship is being assessed." This time, the Voyager was the first to reply in the same mechanical voice, "But since the ship's external detectors are almost completely destroyed, the damage assessment will take a long time to complete." Although it did not give an exact picture of the Voyager's loss, its answer was enough to make everyone nervous.

After the Voyager finished reporting, Atlas gave an ambiguous answer in an uncertain tone, "The damage to the ship is quite severe, uh- maybe not as bad as it seems." ”

"How inconsistent are your answers?" Zhou Xin asked, "What about the damage?" ”

"People don't know very well, there are too few detectors left on the periphery of the spacecraft, and people can't observe the damage to the entire spacecraft for the time being." This time, the little girl gave a similar answer to the Voyager.

Since the Voyager and Atlas had given the same answer, Zhou Xin had no choice but to press down the anxiety in his heart and wait for the results of their investigation.

Because Voyager was still in the process of breaking away from the planet's gravity at this time, and could not launch any probes around the spacecraft for the time being, the specific damage assessment work was carried out quite slowly. For the same reason, they could not even know the details of the current flight of the Voyager, and even the simplest altitude above the ground was only an estimate. The only thing they know for sure now is that the ship is still accelerating, and even that is based on their own feelings.

"We're miserable now." Zhou Xin said with a wry smile. Although he had not yet received an accurate report of the damage, it was easy for him to deduce from his current experience that the Voyager should have been seriously damaged. Immediately after that, his tone became distressed, "The damage to the ship has not been completely repaired, and after this incident, it is even worse, it seems that we have to stay here for a while longer." ”

"There's no way around it." Spred replied reluctantly, and then he changed his tone to a reassuring tone, "Actually, if you think about it another way, I think we should be glad that we at least escaped from the siege of the Norshans. ”

"It's really strange that the other side returned to normal last time when we gave up the investigation of the armed satellite, why are they still chasing after each other this time?" Dart wondered, "Could it be that the previous analysis was wrong?" Aside from the chip, are there other connections we have with the Norzans that we don't know about? ”

Hearing Dart's doubts, everyone in the command cabin was also a little puzzled. Just as everyone was in deep thought, the Voyager, which had been rising steadily, suddenly shook violently a few times.

Before Zhou Xin could ask a question, Atlas took the initiative to explain, "Brother Captain, there is no big problem, it's just that the main engine has some minor problems due to long-term high-load work." Just reduce some output power and it's back to normal. ”

"Although it is said that there is no problem for the time being, it is necessary to conduct a detailed inspection of the main engine later." Zhou Xin reminded. At the same time, since the little girl mentioned the main engine, he casually asked: "Also, how about the damage to the main engine?" ”

"It's a lot better than people expected." This time, Atlas's answer did not disappoint Zhou Xin too much, "The attack method of the Norsans is difficult to cause substantial damage to the core area in the high temperature state after the engine is started, coupled with the protection of the core area before the engine starts, so the core area of the main engine has not been seriously damaged except for the impact of some vibrations caused by explosions." Of course, the damage to the engine's periphery is still quite serious, but the specific situation needs to be further evaluated and analyzed. After that, she added, "In contrast, a warp engine that doesn't start may have suffered more damage." ”

"How's the warp engine going?" After listening to Atlas's report, Zhou Xin couldn't help but be surprised. Before the little girl could finish speaking, he asked eagerly.

"Brother Captain, don't worry, people are about to say it." The little girl said angrily. Having said that, it is not difficult to hear the confidence in the words. She went on to say: "Although the warp engine damage is more serious, everything is still under the watch, at least the engine core has not been affected too much. ”

Atlas's answer made Zhou Xin subconsciously breathe a sigh of relief, and at this time, the voice of the Voyager sounded, "Judging by the flight time, it is speculated that this ship may have broken away from the planet's gravitational circle." ”

"Brother Captain, little sister is right, it should be about the same in time." After the Voyager finished speaking, Atlas confirmed.

"In that case, let's slow down first." Zhou Xin ordered. After a few seconds, his order was carried out, and after a while, the familiar feeling of weightlessness was felt again.

While the Voyager slowed down, Zhou Xin issued a series of orders, "Launch the probe, first find a way to determine where we are now, and then make every effort to assess the damage to the spacecraft." After thinking about it, he added, "Also, keep a monitor in the direction of the planet, and always keep an eye out for the presence of pursuers." ”

"Brother Captain, you think too much, the Noshan civilization doesn't even know about space, how can it be possible to chase here." Atlas replied casually.

"There's nothing wrong with being careful." Zhou Xin said, "After all, it is very likely that it is not their own consciousness that controls the Norshan people now, so anything can happen, and we cannot judge it by the information we have obtained from the Noshan population before." ”

As he spoke, Voyager had already begun to launch probes outward. Through the lens of the probe, Zhou Xin and the others first confirmed that there were no pursuers from the Noshan civilization behind them, and then turned their eyes to the severely damaged Voyager......
