Chapter 82: Preparing to Leave

For some time to come, strange notifications continued to appear within the Norsan civilization from time to time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info plus the fact that the people who receive the notification are not specific, no matter who they are, will be affected, which caused a huge commotion within the Norshan civilization. This effect even affected their contact with the Voyager, during which time not only did they make contact more often, but also the duration of contact was greatly reduced.

In contrast, during the same period, the interior of the Voyager was relatively calm, and all the crew members were not affected by the Norsanes, but carried out maintenance work on the ship in peace. Although Zhou Xin expressed concern about the internal troubles of the Norshan people in the contact, all he could do was to care, and they could not help with the specific investigation.

In the midst of such troubles, more than ten days have passed. Strangely enough, the Norzans had not yet been able to investigate what was going on with the notifications that popped up in their minds from time to time. It just appeared out of nowhere at the beginning, and just disappeared inexplicably. Of course, regardless of whether the investigation results or not, the disappearance of the notice is always a good thing for the Norzans, but it inevitably leaves some lingering feelings in their hearts, and even makes many people worry about whether this phenomenon will happen again in the future.

But what Zhou Xin didn't expect at all was that after the troubles within the Noshan civilization were temporarily resolved, the Voyager was about to usher in even greater trouble.

It's a normal day, the troubles within the Norsan civilization have disappeared imperceptibly, and on the Voyager's side, the maintenance work of the entire ship is also in full swing.

"The next most troublesome thing is to repair the entire ship's hull." In the command module at this time, Guresta was reporting to Zhou Xin, "The consumption of materials is huge, and the materials we obtained from the Norzans have been almost consumed. In addition, there is not much stock of some rare elements needed to repair the shell. We have to figure out whether to continue to get a batch from the Norsan civilization or to mine it ourselves. ”

After listening to the report, Zhou Xin's brows furrowed, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Relying on the production technology of robots, we have already exchanged a lot of materials from them, and it is probably not realistic to continue to ask the Norzans for resources." Moreover, the repair of the ship's hull requires a lot of materials, and it is unlikely that they will get it all from them. ”

Guresta nodded and added, "Actually, the purity of the materials provided by the Norzans does not meet the standards for repairing ships. After these materials are delivered, they need to be processed before they can be used. The time spent in this process is not much different from the time it takes us to process the ore directly. ”

"Is the material they provide so poor?" Zhou Xin asked suspiciously, "Didn't I explain to Fergeland that I had to provide us with the best materials?" ”

"According to the Northans I handed over, they have provided the best material. But it's hard to say whether this is the case or not, after all, in the actual inspection process, there is still a certain gap between their materials and our standards. Guresta replied.

"That's a little weird, could it be that their materialology is a little worse than ours?" However, strange to strange, Zhou Xin did not delve into it, but asked, "How is the overall maintenance work of the Voyager going, and whether it can support a short space flight." ”

"No problem at all." Guresta confidently replied, "Although the ship's shell is badly damaged, the barrier between the core and the outer area alone is enough to ensure that the ship can fly in space, but the activities of the crew can only be limited to the core area. ”

Zhou Xin did not doubt Guresta's answer. He was well aware that at the beginning of the design of the Voyager, the separation belt between the inner and outer layers had such a function, considering the possible breakage of the shell. Next, after learning about the current situation of the other systems in the Voyager, especially the power system, Zhou Xin made a decision, "In that case, let's leave this planet for the time being and go to other planets in this star system to collect materials." ”

During the period of staying in the Noshan civilization, in addition to conducting a detailed investigation of the planet where the Noshan civilization was located, Zhou Xin actually did not neglect the investigation of the star system where they stayed. The results of the investigation showed that this is a star system centered on an ordinary yellow dwarf star about the size of the Sun, and there are four more obvious planetary stars in the galaxy. The closest planet to the star is the smallest of the four, with a diameter of only 3,000 kilometers. Next, the second planet from the surface of the star is the planet where Zhou Xin and the others are now, which is about one point and three times the size of the earth. Farther out, about nine astronomical units from the star, is a massive gas giant. And in the outermost part, more than 30 astronomical units away from the star, there is a rocky planet with an icy surface similar in size to the Earth.

Considering that the planet closest to the star has a high surface temperature (over 400°C per day), the surface is also covered with a thick, acid-laden atmosphere. It is not suitable for the daily work of personnel, and it is also easy to aggravate the injuries on board the Voyager, which is already badly damaged. Therefore, Zhou Xin decided to place the resource gathering and subsequent maintenance work of the spacecraft on the planet farthest from the star.

Now that the decision to leave has been made, the next thing to do is to make all the preparations before leaving. The first of these was to get all the crew members living around the Voyager back to the ship. But it is strange that such a large movement of the collective relocation did not attract the attention of the Nozans stationed in the surrounding area, and they did not even send anyone to inquire about it. Of course, because all the attention was focused on the preparations before departure, such an anomaly was completely ignored by Zhou Xin.

"Strange, what about the Fergulans?" After completing all the preparations in a hurry, Zhou Xin finally remembered that he should say goodbye to the Norshan people. But what is unusual, for his contact request, this time the other party actually did not make any response in a rare way......
