Chapter 100: Serious but not serious losses
"But in reality, the damage done by the Norsans to the Voyager is only what we see now, and it doesn't affect the core of the ship in the slightest." Atlas said.
"It's not unreasonable." After the little girl finished speaking, Zhou Xin thoughtfully agreed, "Although the damage to the surface of the spacecraft is serious compared to the damage to the core area, the repair is nothing more than a waste of materials and time, and there is no other trouble." ”
"That's it." Atlas laughed. As soon as the words ended, the list of damage that Voyager had just listed on the screen changed, and several of them were marked in special red. Then the little girl continued, "Compared to the injuries that my little sister introduced before, people think that these are more serious. In particular, some damage was done to the 1 and 2 eco-cabins, which were closer to the surface of the spacecraft. Although it may not seem that serious, it does affect the oxygen circulation in the ship. Therefore, people feel that the restoration of the ecological cabin has become a priority work that we must complete. ”
"What parts to fix first isn't really what we need to worry about right now." At this time, Spred happened to walk in, and he seemed to have heard the conversation between Zhou Xin and Atlas before, so he said at the same time as he entered the door, "We simply don't have enough materials to repair any part of the ship more systematically, so I'm more worried about how long we can last in the space environment in the current state of Voyager." After all, we definitely have no way to return to the planet where the Norshan civilization is located, but can only go to the planet at the very edge of the star system that the probe has investigated before to repair and replenish the spaceship. I don't know if the Voyager will be able to keep flying there, or even if we will be able to keep our activities normal while the ship is being repaired. ”
"There shouldn't be any problems." After a few seconds, Atlas made a judgment, "As long as the Voyager is not particularly significantly affected in the future, the ship's current state is still enough to maintain its stability." Of course, the impact is not only the external attack, but also the obvious change in the state of the ship itself. One of the most obvious examples of this is that we can't go at full speed, or even at a slower pace, or the consequences will be quite serious. As for warp flight, that's even less to think about. ”
Hearing this, the expression on Zhou Xin's face obviously became solemn, "This is not good news." ”
"But the good thing is that it just takes a little more time." Spreed said happily, "At least we don't have the Norzans behind us, so we don't need to be in such a hurry." All we need to do is fly safely to the edge planet and calmly repair the Voyager. ”
Although it was not unreasonable to say that Spred's rejoicing, after listening to his words, Zhou Xin didn't know why a bad premonition suddenly appeared in his heart. Of course, this premonition came without any basis, so he did not say it, but followed Spred's words and said helplessly: "Now it can only be like this." After saying this, Zhou Xin immediately ordered, "In that case, without further ado, let's not waste any more time." Voyager, immediately change direction and travel to the outermost planet of our star system at the highest speed that the ship can now withstand. ”
"Understood."
Soon, the Voyager changed the direction of its flight and began to move "at full speed". At the same time, the Voyager reported: "The flight path has been set, and the ship is expected to arrive at the target planet in sixteen days." ”
"Sixteen days?" Zhou Xin couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I'm afraid this is the slowest flight ever." ”
"Except for being a little slower, at least there is nothing dangerous about this flight." Spred answered.
"Now I can only comfort myself with this reason." Zhou Xin said helplessly. Suddenly, another question came to him, "By the way, the Voyager, what about the casualties of the crew?" Before the question could be answered, the atmosphere in the command cabin had already turned sad.
The next answer was not the Voyager, but Atlas, "According to preliminary statistics, the number of people injured in the attack of the Norsan civilization is quite large. However, the number of deaths was relatively small, less than twenty, and most of them died at the stage when the Norzans began to attack and were unprepared. Even most of the injuries were not caused by the Norsanian attack, but rather from the violent shaking caused by the Voyager's gliding phase on the ground. Compared to the number of crew deaths, we lost a lot of robots. Among them, the combat robots, in particular, can be said to be almost completely wiped out. I'm afraid we need to produce a batch of robots next, and if they are not enough, it will even seriously affect the maintenance of the ship in the future. ”
"How could this be?" Zhou Xin felt a little puzzled about the little girl's introduction, and he asked.
Atlas continued to explain to Zhou Xin, "One of the reasons for this is that we moved all the crew to the core of the ship in time when the Norzans first started attacking us. And another more important reason has been mentioned before, the various weapons used by the Nuoshan civilization are indeed not weak in terms of power, but the penetration is very poor, so there is no way to harm the crew members who have been transferred to the core area. ”
"That's great news." The little girl's words at least made Zhou Xin let go of a worry in his heart, and then his tone of speech became relaxed, "As long as everyone survives, other things are not a big trouble for us." ”
After saying this, Zhou Xin didn't say anything more, but settled down and began to carefully look at the detailed spacecraft loss report listed by the Voyager on the screen. While it may seem like nothing more than the ship's hull and eco-pod were damaged after listening to Atlas's description, the damage to Voyager is much more than that. It took Zhou Xin a full hour to simply skim through the damage report. While browsing, he had already begun to sort the following restoration work in order of importance.
After reviewing the entire damage report, Zhou Xin thought for a while, and then he realized that no matter how he made arrangements, in this situation, the repair work on the Voyager could only be started after arriving at the target planet......
