Of course Fang Linyan didn't know that he was being watched by a strong crowd.
He was lamenting that the difficulty of the work he was doing at this time was indeed extremely difficult.
On the one hand, we must pay attention to meteorites that may appear at any time, and on the other hand, we must overcome the slight tremor caused by sci flying.
More importantly, in a state of weightlessness, you have to be more careful when controlling the sci.
If the difficulty of controlling the sci is 1 when operating under normal conditions, then the difficulty of controlling the sci in weightless flight is at least 3!
After the dazzling welding light was filtered and fell on Fang Linyan's retina, he felt that it was the magnificence of life.
He turned his head and looked at the steel plate three meters away on the right. There were several half-meter-long steel plates on it. The skewed welding marks could be distinguished at a glance.
It's like an ugly centipede crawling on the steel plate.
This was a job he had just completed. To be honest, Fang Linyan was very dissatisfied. If it were normal times, he would immediately rework it and do it again.
The only thing worthy of praise is that the quality of the welding is still passable. It not only exceeds the failure rate required by Latvis, it can also be said that it exceeds the standard and completes the requirements.
But flaws mean there are shortcomings,
What Fang Linyan pursues is not exceeding the failure rate, but 100% success, because the mechanical dire wolf core and mechanical gyrfalcon eggs themselves do not allow for any flaws.
Fang Linyan turned his head and looked at the weld in front of him. It was obvious that it was much better. In terms of appearance, at least it was straight.
Not only that, Fang Linyan felt that he seemed to have begun to find a sense in this extreme environment, and nodded with satisfaction.
Then Fang Linyan began to continue working.
...
Half an hour later,
Latvous in the captain's room was breathing heavily, and punched the table next to him with a flushed face.
Looking at Latvis's appearance at this time, he wished he could paste it directly onto the screen.
"Shortened! Shortened!"
"The fault he repaired this time was to dismantle a half-destroyed Azak solenoid valve and replace it with a brand new one, and then weld a hydraulic press to it."
"The difficulty of handling this fault was evaluated by Optical Brain as three stars. It is one of the most difficult faults to repair this time."
"But, it only took him thirty-seven seconds!"
Sanchez burst out laughing:
"This guy is really a genius. He is still making continuous progress in actual operations! If this continues, it is entirely possible to achieve the goal before the backup engine can no longer hold on!"
As Sanchez spoke, he looked around and suddenly picked up the half bottle of whiskey next to him.
I pulled out the stopper and blew the bottle right away.
For him, he had felt tremendous pressure since he woke up from the hibernation cabin. When he saw Fang Linyan's performance, he felt that the pressure on his body was finally released like a tide.
At this time, of course, something is needed to cushion the tense nerves.
But after seeing the bottle of wine in his hand clearly, Latvis immediately screamed strangely and rushed forward to snatch it back:
"You bastard! This is the only treasure I have left for fifty years."
Sanchez was about to speak when suddenly the red light flashed on the screen in the captain's room and a series of alarms sounded!
Immediately afterwards, the cold female electronic synthesized voice of Optical Brain mechanically gave a prompt:
"Collision warning, repeat, collision warning, the density of the meteorite belt ahead suddenly increased by 416%..."
"We are about to enter the meteorite dense area in three minutes. Do we need to issue an immediate warning on the Coles?"
Latvis and Sanchez looked at each other and shook their heads slowly at the same time, the indifference in their eyes was particularly clear.
In fact, their motivations are fundamentally very clear.
The people who will benefit from the early warning are Jha and the "battery". They will greatly reduce the risk of an accident, and at the same time, they will most likely retract inside the ship.
It was the two of them who lost money, which meant that the backup engine would inevitably be damaged. Even if they could make it back alive, they would face huge compensation and a life of hardship.
Without early warning, the risk of an accident to Jha and the battery will increase significantly...but so what?
What does it have to do with these two bastards?
On the contrary, the spare engine still has a chance of being saved!
Latvis looked at Fang Linyan who was busy on the screen and said indifferently:
"Come on, battery, good luck."
Although Fang Linyan did not receive a collision warning, the mechanical gyrfalcon flying ahead soon brought him news that the number of meteorites ahead had begun to increase.
Fang Linyan frowned and then continued working.
Suddenly, the engineering ship blocking the front shook violently! The energy shield on the body surface suddenly emerged and turned light red!
This is an accelerated meteorite!
This kind of meteorite is rare in the meteorite belt, and certainly not rare.
It may be due to mutual collision or explosion. This type of meteorite has acquired extraordinary speed and is flying at high speed in the meteorite belt.
Even if the engineering ship has an early warning mechanism, it is often caught off guard!
After the engineering ship was hit by the collision, it suddenly rolled and flew 70 to 80 meters away.
Then Fang Linyan saw a large number of meteorites and dust flying madly from the front, and he instinctively wanted to make dodge movements.
After a moment of confusion, he remembered that he was in the sci, and hurriedly controlled the sci to avoid it.
But sometimes slowing down by half a second is the difference between life and death.
Just as the propeller below the sci spurted out flames, a fist-sized meteorite fragment flew over and hit the engine below the sci hard!
There was an immediate bang, and the jet engine immediately caught fire and exploded. The huge thrust generated immediately pushed the sci quickly towards the rear, and in an instant it disappeared into the vast universe behind!
Seeing this scene, no matter Jha, Ledovis, or first mate Sanchez, their whole bodies were filled with coldness!!
Although the three of them are selfish, they definitely don't want Fang Linyan to die here!
Fang Linyan's life and death were of no importance to them.
But this means that it is very difficult to repair the No. 2 engine, so it is not a matter of losing money!
If Pandora's banned additives are added and the meteorite cannot fly out of the meteorite area within the next eight hours, then everyone will really have to enter the escape capsule and become a space trapeze.
At this time, Jieha was still decisive and immediately shouted in the communication channel:
"You use radar to lock it immediately, and I will fly down to rescue people!"
Jie Ha's concern for Fang Linyan's safety is certainly not due to the deep friendship between the two.
But because if something happens to Fang Linyan, this guy will no longer have any excuse and can only control the sci to top it.
For Jie Ha, saving Fang Linyan is equivalent to saving himself.
However, just when Jieha was about to put away the protective shield and fly out to rescue people, unexpectedly another huge meteorite flew towards him in a spinning direction.
Jieha was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly started the emergency procedure, and the optical brain took over the engineering ship on its own.
So the engineering ship first launched a missile to blow up the huge meteorite and deviate from its normal flight path.
Then the angle of the protective cover was adjusted to allow the huge meteorite to hit from the slope.
In this way, it feels a bit like "moving a thousand pounds with four ounces", and then the meteorite is successfully bounced away.
In this way, the energy shield turned into deep red in an instant, and the engineering ship itself was knocked hundreds of meters away. A series of alarms sounded inside, and the red lights flashed continuously.
The optical brain kept popping up prompts:
"Alert, the durability value of the protective cover has dropped below the warning line, and it will take more than five minutes to return to normal."
And fortunately, during the collision, the optical brain specifically chose the direction to be knocked away toward outer space.
Otherwise, once it collides with the hull of the Coles, it will definitely be a tragedy of destroying the ship and killing everyone.
However, just after Jieha hurriedly restored the balance of the engineering ship, he unexpectedly saw a black spot flying up from below.
He took a closer look and saw that it was the sci that was knocked away earlier. Jie Ha couldn't help but lost his voice and said:
"How can this be?"
To be continued...
