Chapter 20: Another Heavy Blow

Although he didn't dare to move, Zhou Xin was still thinking of countermeasures in his mind in order not to fall into a coma. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

As time passed, the temperature on the ship continued to rise, and Zhou Xin's consciousness began to fall into a blur, and he vaguely saw that most of the people sitting in front of him had fallen, and at this time, he seemed to hear the sound of the command hatch opening. He realized in his heart that it must have been the robot he had ordered the Voyager to send had arrived, and after a while, he felt a cool sensation in his mouth, and this cool feeling brought him a hint of anger, he shook his head and calmed down, and then saw a robot standing in front of him, which was now in the posture of feeding him water. He glanced up at the command cabin and saw a lot of robots standing next to him that were also feeding water, which made him feel a little relieved.

After drinking a little water, the dull feeling that Zhou Xin had been in the high temperature recovered a little. At this time, he felt that although the temperature in the cabin was high, it seemed to have stopped rising. At first he thought his feelings were wrong, and to make sure of this, he glanced at the temperature displayed on the screen, and the constant beating of the temperature on the screen at seventy degrees Celsius helped him confirm this. Seeing that the temperature was indeed no longer rising, Zhou Xin breathed a sigh of relief, but now he still didn't dare to move, looking at the temperature of seventy degrees on the screen, Zhou Xin was faintly afraid.

"Slow down and it's over." He thought to himself, and at this time, when he came back to his senses, he seemed to hear the constant sound of the ship.

"Big Dart, Sister Retina, Sister Christy, and the others, what's wrong with you? Answer me, wake up, and don't ignore me. Brother Captain, Brother Captain, are you still awake? Woo woo - you don't want to have an accident - woo woo - " Zhou Xin froze, and then heard Atlas's anxious shout.

Zhou Xinqiang cheered up and said weakly: "Atlas, don't shout, I'm fine." ”

"Brother Captain!" Hearing Zhou Xin's voice, Atlas said with a crying voice, "Brother Dart, Sister Redina, they didn't answer me, I saw that they were all unconscious, something happened, woo woo-"

"Alright, it's okay." Zhou Xin comforted weakly, "They just fell into a coma because of the heat, and they should be able to wake up after a while." ”

Under Zhou Xin's comfort, Atlas finally calmed down a little, and didn't care about continuing to comfort her, Zhou Xin immediately focused on the current state of the Voyager.

"Traveler, how is the ship doing now, how far is it from that star?" Since most of the Voyager's external detection devices were damaged in the heat just now, Zhou Xin had no choice but to ask the Voyager.

"In the heat just now, the ship was badly damaged." "Having just been too close to the star, the powerful electromagnetic radiation that had caused a lot of damage to the ship's electronics was now recovering," the Voyager reported. Due to the temporary inability of the detection equipment to operate normally, the various losses in the ship are being counted, and it is expected that it will take some time to get a specific report. After a pause, it continued to report, "According to the remaining detectors on the left side of the ship, the ship is now 0.4 AU away from the star, and the hull temperature has dropped significantly, but the temperature of the spacecraft is still above 400 degrees Celsius. ”

Zhou Xin glanced at the temperature displayed on the screen, and now the temperature in the command cabin has dropped slightly, leaving less than sixty degrees Celsius, and then Zhou Xin glanced at the speed of the spacecraft, and found that the speed of the spacecraft is now maintained at about 0.8 times the speed of light, he opened his mouth and asked, "Why don't you continue to accelerate, what is the situation of maintaining this speed?" ”

"Affected by the previous high temperature and high-intensity electromagnetic radiation, there was a little problem with the main engine, and now the main engine is at its maximum power, but the speed can only be maintained at 0.8 times the speed of light." Voyager replied.

Hearing the Voyager's report, Zhou Xin's mood suddenly became nervous, and then he asked, "Do you know what the problem is?" Can it be fixed? What about other engines? Has it been affected? ”

"The problem is not clear for the time being, and we need to wait for the main engine to shut down before we can carry out a detailed inspection, and the initial suspicion is that there is a problem with the diversion coil due to electromagnetic effects. The secondary engine does not appear to be affected, but since the secondary engine was only in standby mode, further confirmation is needed to determine whether it has been damaged. ”

"Where's the warp engine?" Dart asked, "Is there anything wrong with the warp engine?" ”

"The warp engine automatically stopped due to the effect of the protection system during the first start, and now there is no one of the parameters of the warp engine, and a more detailed report will be left to the detailed examination of Lei Xing researchers."

Zhou Xin's heart was raised again, you must know that for today's Voyager, it is not a big problem if there is a little problem with the main engine, but if the warp engine fails, in the vast universe, they can be said to be unable to move an inch. However, he did not voice this concern, but silently prayed in his heart that nothing would go wrong with the warp engine.

Before you know it, the Voyager is 0.6 AU away from the star, and the temperature on the spacecraft has dropped to a level that a normal person can endure for a long time, but there are still 40 degrees Celsius, and the people in the command cabin who were previously unconscious have begun to wake up one after another, and only a few frail people are still unconscious, but they are already showing signs of waking up. At the same time, many of the equipment that had been struck before also began to restart and resume work, but the large screen that was like a flashbang before was obviously hopeless, and it was still pitch black.

Seeing that everyone woke up one after another, Zhou Xin began to care about the crew on the ship, "What about the people on the ship?" Are there any injuries? ”

This time, the Voyager took a moment to learn from the robots in various parts of the ship before starting to answer, "The situation in the other compartments is similar to the situation in the command module, the cabin located inside the spacecraft has been affected a little less, but the temperature of the internal module has reached a maximum of more than 60 degrees Celsius, everyone on the ship has mild or severe dehydration symptoms, there are dozens of people who were previously in the outer compartment are seriously dehydrated and need to be treated, and others only need proper hydration to recover." ”

At this time, Spreed, who had rested for a while after waking up, had already stood up, and now he was checking the condition of the other thunderers in the command module. Dart was awake almost at the same time as Spred, but he didn't have time to worry about it now, as he was busy comforting Atlas. Atlas seems to have forgotten to switch channels after the call from the whole ship, and now his crying voice still resounds throughout the ship.

After reporting on the ship's occupants, the Voyager went on to report a dangerous situation, "The ship's air-conditioning system has been partially damaged due to overwork, and the remaining air-conditioning units are now operating at full capacity." At the same time, some of the pipes of the air-conditioning system were also damaged in the recent heat, and the temperature of some cabins is now uncontrollable. ”

Hearing the Voyager's report, Zhou Xin suddenly became highly nervous, because he knew that the air conditioning system on the Voyager used the same pipe as the life-sustaining system, and if there was a big problem with this pipe, then the entire ship would be doomed.

"Is there a problem with the life support system itself?" Zhou Xin hurriedly asked, "What is the situation of the compartment corresponding to the damaged part of the pipeline?" ”

"There is no problem with the subsistence system." The Voyager's answer made Zhou Xin feel at ease a little, "For the compartments where some of the pipes are damaged, but the cabins are intact and need life to enter, this ship has transferred the spare electrical pipes as temporary pipes for life support and air conditioning systems, but the effect is not very ideal, the environment in these cabins can only barely sustain the survival of life, it is recommended that if there is no situation, it is better not to let life forms enter these compartments casually." The rest of the cabins can only be temporarily closed. After reporting this, the Voyager added, "But this is only a temporary solution, and repairs to the air conditioning system and corresponding plumbing must be carried out as soon as possible." ”

Zhou Xin nodded, "What about the other damage?" Are the statistics out? ”

"The shell on the right side of the ship was seriously damaged in the high temperature at the beginning, and most of the shell has been melted and deformed, especially the part that was temporarily repaired, this part of the shell was directly blown away by the stellar wind, exposing the compartment connected to the shell, which has been completely damaged in the high temperature, and the internal compartment adjacent to this part of the cabin has also been seriously affected by the high temperature, and the items in some cabins have directly caught fire and burned in the high temperature, causing serious damage to these internal cabins." The Voyager reported.

"There are no casualties." At this time, Spred had already checked the situation of everyone in the command cabin, and ordered those who had not woken up to be sent to the medical cabin, and he walked to Zhou Xin's side. As he got closer, he happened to hear the Voyager's report, so he interjected.

"The crew of the ship returned to the living section in the center after completing the removal of supplies, and there were no casualties due to damage to the cabin, except for the previously mentioned symptoms of dehydration." Fortunately, the report from the Voyager was not very bad.

Hearing this answer, Zhou Xin and Spred both breathed a sigh of relief, and at this time, Dart also finished comforting Atlas, and he walked to Zhou Xin's side and began to listen to the Voyager's report together.

"The plants in the first and third eco-cabins were not very affected by the high temperature, only about one-tenth of the plants died in the high temperature, and the remaining plants survived after replenishing water. The impact on the second eco-chamber was slightly more severe, with the exception of plants, some cold-blooded and small animals that died. The worst losses were in Eco Chamber-4, where about half of the fish died from the previous temperature upheaval. The Voyager continued.

"Is there enough food to produce?" Zhou Xin asked

"The grain production is still sufficient, but the number of animals is seriously lost, and the consumption of meat needs to be properly controlled in the coming period."

"Looks like we're going to be monks for a while." Zhou Xin laughed self-deprecatingly, "If there is any other bad news, let's talk about it together." ”

"The energy capsule has not been affected by the high temperature just now, and the spacecraft's energy reserves are still in a safe state." The Voyager also reported at least one comforting news, "but the right side of the ship's energy transmission line is badly damaged, and most of it needs to be rearranged." In addition, the damage to the energy pipeline has also affected the energy supply of engines 3 and 4, which have now stopped working. At the same time, the No. 4 engine on the far right was directly affected by the high temperature of the star, the shell was seriously damaged, and it needed to be completely replaced. No problems were found with the other two secondary engines, and Engine 2 was still working properly. ”

After a pause, Voyager continued to report on other locations, "Some of the dormant devices in the hibernation chamber have been disturbed by high-energy rays emitted by stars, and each of them is being inspected by engineering robots. ”

"Something is wrong with the hibernation device?" Hearing the news, Zhou Xin was shocked, and then asked with a heart, "What is abnormal?" What about those who are dormant? ”

"No casualties have been detected among dormant personnel at this time." Voyager gave a reassuring answer, "It's just that the control equipment of some dormant devices has abnormal information processing and error reports under the interference of rays, and it is necessary to re-set the information of those abnormal control devices to eliminate the wrong information." ”

"That's not to be taken lightly." Zhou Xin reminded, "Every dormant device should be carefully inspected. ”

"Understood."

Voyager then went on to report other damage to the entire ship, generally the right side of the Voyager that was directly illuminated by the stars when it left hyperspace was severely damaged, and from the previously mentioned, and later added by Voyager, most of the damage reports came from the outer deck on this side or adjacent to it. In contrast, the left side of the ship suffered much less damage, with only a small number of previously temporarily repaired decks and some weak parts deformed due to the heat, but this news is not to be welcomed. According to Voyager's final count, the damage the ship had suffered in the previous few minutes near the star was far greater than the previous battle to escape from the frozen planet.

"More than 30% of the parts of the ship have been damaged to varying degrees, of which about 13% of the parts are seriously damaged and need to be repaired immediately, due to the serious shortage of resources on the spacecraft, the maintenance work cannot be carried out, and the ship urgently needs to find a planet for resource collection for the maintenance of the spacecraft." Finally, the Voyager concluded......
