After nearly 16 days of travel, Voyager slowly reached the target of the trip, the planet at the very edge of the star system, at the speed of a "snail crawl". Everything went smoothly during the whole flight, and Zhou Xin and the others were not pursued by the Nuoshan civilization. Even during this time, they stayed on the planet Norsan (since the Norshan civilization does not have the concept of space, the planet they are on does not have a name.) For the sake of convenience, Zhou Xin himself named the planet after the name of civilization. None of the nearby probes have observed any spacecraft, or even Nothanes, leaving the surface of their planet.

For this situation, Zhou Xin couldn't help but feel a little fortunate in addition to the surprise. You know, with the current situation of the Voyager, they don't need to encounter a powerful battleship, as long as they encounter the kind of small battleship of about 100 meters that they have seen in the opposing civilization before, it is enough to put the entire ship in a huge predicament. It can even be said that as long as the speed of the pursuit of the battleship is slightly faster, the Voyager may not even have the ability to escape. Therefore, in the first two days after leaving the Norshan planet, Zhou Xin was still worried all day that they would encounter the pursuers of the Norshan civilization at any time, and this emotion lasted until the fifth day of escape, and then disappeared from Zhou Xin's confidence little by little.

"Your Excellency, Captain, you're slowing down." When the planet that appeared in the frame was already the size of a full moon, the voice of the Voyager sounded in the command module. Of course, this slow deceleration process was barely noticed, and even Zhou Xin could only learn about it from the Voyager's report. A few minutes later, the Voyager reported again, "The ship has been captured by the planet's gravity and is adjusting its flight attitude to enter the planet's high orbit." Another few minutes passed, and Voyager began to orbit the planet normally. After confirming that the spaceship was in a stable state, Zhou Xin focused their eyes on the planet on the screen.

Because the probe had conducted a preliminary survey of the planet not long ago, Zhou Xin and the others were not unfamiliar with the planet in front of them. It is an ordinary rocky planet, with a large portion of the planet's surface being distinctly reddish-brown, with only a few areas covered in white material of unknown composition. This appearance represents a high probability of iron-rich oxides on the planet's surface, and it also means that there is a high probability that there are a lot of minerals on the planet, which is obviously a good thing for Voyager, which is in dire need of various raw materials for repairs. Of course, if it is only inferred from the appearance, there is a possibility that such a judgment will be wrong, and if this is the case, then Zhou Xin and they can only choose to try their luck on the "purgatory" planet closest to the star.

"Has the specific composition of the planet's surface been analyzed?" Looking at the surface of the planet on the screen, Zhou Xin asked. During the Voyager flight, the probes who had arrived earlier had already landed and begun to explore the planet's surface. Although the surface composition of the planet can be basically determined on the appearance, Zhou Xinzhong still has a trace of worry.

"We weren't wrong in our previous judgment, this is indeed a mineral planet." Atlas happily replied, "Moreover, many useful minerals are directly distributed in shallow areas, which can reduce the hassle of many resource gatherings." ”

"That's great." Hearing this answer, Zhou Xin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"In that case, without further ado, let's just start repairing the spacecraft right away." Dart urged.

"However, all of our engineering ships were destroyed during the previous escape, and new ones are still being built. In addition, the number of robots is also seriously insufficient. After Dart finished speaking, Spred suddenly remembered an important question, "How do we start repairing the Voyager?" ”

For such a situation, Zhou Xin also felt a headache. He knew that without the construction ship, much of the restoration work would not have been completed. So, after Spred finished speaking, Zhou Xin asked helplessly: "At what stage has the construction of the engineering ship reached?" ”

"The main part has been built, and only some of the internal facilities are still being installed." The Voyager replied.

"What about the powertrain?" Zhou Xin asked, and after also getting the reply that the construction had been completed, he thought about it seriously for a while, and then said: "In this case, then send the engineering ship that has not yet been built to the planet together with the robot, and the next installation work will be carried out directly on the surface of the planet." This allows for on-site resource harvesting, while also allowing the construction vessel to be put into service as soon as it is built. After a while, he added, "Also, make use of all the small equipment on the Voyager, including the shuttle, that can transport as many things as you want." ”

After Zhou Xin's order, all the crew members of the Voyager went into action. Soon, difficult repair work began.

However, although the maintenance work on the Voyager was carried out somewhat difficult, it was generally quite smooth. Coupled with the concerted efforts of everyone, the work speed is not very slow. Of course, this is only for the manpower available on the Voyager today, which is indeed the slowest compared to the previous repairs of the ship, and this situation continued until the construction ships were added to improve significantly.

And just like that, before I knew it, a month had passed. Seeing that it was always fixed on his screen, the list of damage to the spaceship that the Voyager had listed at the beginning was shortened a little bit, but Zhou Xinzhong did not feel relieved.

On this day, after Zhou Xin browsed through the damage list that only left half the length of the original, he stared at the red letters listed at the top of the list and asked "How far has the repair progress of the shell been?" ”

"Ten percent done." The Voyager replied.

"Is it so slow?" Zhou Xin said with a frown.

"The amount of work required for this part of the work is quite enormous, and it is close to rebuilding the entire hull of the ship." "That's why it's so slow. ”

"Besides, Brother Captain, the completion is only the easy part to repair. Most of the devastated areas, especially the massive depression in the front of the ship, have not even been repaired. After the Voyager replied, Atlas added......
