Chapter 1440: 330: Repairing the Spaceship (Part 2)

Capítulo 1440: Chapter 330: Repairing the Spaceship (Part 2)

“Just call me Ziwei… huh? Why haven’t I seen your terminal model before? Wait a moment, let me check if your terminal has the corresponding protocol module…”

Ziwei said as she fiddled with the holographic projection coming from Zhang Xiaoman.

Not long after, she stopped with a puzzled and frustrated look.

“It’s strange, your terminal clearly has a quantum communication module, but why hasn’t the corresponding quantum uplink connection been activated? Logically, all devices are activated upon leaving the factory, otherwise they can’t be used…”

After she said this, seeing Zhang Xiaoman’s bewildered expression, she couldn’t help but pat her forehead and said:

“I say, you didn’t modify or make this thing yourself, did you? It has a quantum communication module but no activated uplink connection, this is the first time I’ve encountered such a situation.”

“There’s nothing we can do about it, quantum communication is special. If you’re not matched and activated with the main quantum network of the alliance, it can’t be used and can only connect to the local network of the planet.”

Zhang Xiaoman furrowed his brows, and then asked:

“Ziwei, so are you saying there’s no way for us to leave here now?”

“Not necessarily, I can try to use the communication network that comes with the ship to connect. Once we’re connected, I can have others from the Spirit Guardians pick us up…”

She said as she walked over to a large round table in the room, manipulated a bit on it, and quickly brought up a holographic control interface.

The two were currently in the command center of the base.

The place was filled with various consoles and instruments, some damaged, others still intact.

Ziwei operated on it using her only remaining arm, and also borrowed B2 level authorization from Zhang Xiaoman, successfully awakening the main intelligent program.

However, after waiting for about twenty minutes, Ziwei regretfully informed him that the communication network connection module here had been damaged and could no longer connect to the main network of the Dark Spirit Star Domain Alliance.

“This… can’t connect, so how can we leave here? Do you have teleportation magic or something? Are we just going to be stuck on this planet?”

Zhang Xiaoman found a chair and sat down, asking with some concern.

Now that he had heard about the existence of the Dark Spirit Star Domain Alliance, he naturally wanted to see it.

From Ziwei’s introduction, he could tell that it was not only a place of extremely advanced technology but also a region hosting a vast Dark Spirit civilization.

The alliance’s research on Dark Spirit technology had reached an astonishing level, so of course, he wouldn’t want to miss such a place.

Zhang Xiaoman anticipated learning more knowledge and technology from there, which would be valuable assets for all humanity when he returned to Water Blue Star.

However, given the current situation, things seemed a bit tricky.

Ziwei first shook her head, indicating she couldn’t perform such long-distance teleportation, but then she brightened up and said:

“Actually, there might be a way. We can use the spaceship left by this group of Reapers to leave!”

She pointed to the console in front of them and continued:

“Look, they must have the corresponding star map here, and we just need to follow it and use the wormhole generator for long-distance jumps.”

Zhang Xiaoman got interested immediately.

“Oh? A spaceship? You mean they have a spaceship parked on this planet? Where exactly?”

Ziwei looked at him a bit confused, and then pointed to the metallic floor underfoot:

“The spaceship, it’s right here.”

Zhang Xiaoman froze, stunned for two seconds before realizing.

So this was no base structure but rather the spaceship that the Joy Reaper Team had piloted to the planet.

“I saw earlier that there were a total of five ships here, but most were damaged in battles. The only one in somewhat good condition is this one.”

Ziwei earnestly surveyed the surroundings.

“If I’m not mistaken, this ship should be a Grizzly-class Destroyer from the Unified Department Navy, capable of adapting to all-weather combat missions, typically used for vanguard landings.”

“I have no idea where these Reapers got this thing, and it’s probably been through quite a few modifications, so much so that I almost didn’t recognize it.”

“It’s fortunate that I served in the Unified Department Navy when I joined the Guardian Spirit Organization, so I know how to pilot this ship. Taking it back shouldn’t be a problem.”

She patted the console in front of her and smiled confidently.

“Don’t worry, with me here, it’s all good!”

Zhang Xiaoman raised an eyebrow:

“So you’re saying, if you can fix it, we can fly it back to the Dark Spirit Star Domain Alliance?”

But when he said this, Ziwei showed a bewildered look.

“Fix it? But I can’t fix it.”

Zhang Xiaoman paused, and his expression slightly froze.

“You can’t fix it? Didn’t you say you served in the Unified Department Navy and can fly this ship?”

Ziwei replied earnestly:

“Yeah, I can fly it, but I can’t fix it.”

Zhang Xiaoman was immediately dumbfounded.

Right, knowing how to fly doesn’t equate to knowing how to fix.

Initially, he was misled by her tone, thinking that she had confidently found a solution and would be able to fly the ship and take him to see the Dark Spirit Star Domain Alliance.

Who knew, she actually had no way to get back at all?

At that moment, he had a sudden urge to spit blood.

If you can’t fix it, why did you act so confidently before?

If you can’t even repair it, what’s the point of flying!

This woman is indeed a bit naive.

“So, does this mean we can’t go now?”

Zhang Xiaoman said expressionlessly.

Ziwei pinched her chin, pondered for a moment, and then suddenly said:

“Oh, it seems like that. Neither of us can fix this ship, and we can’t contact the alliance, so this is truly troublesome!”

Zhang Xiaoman glanced at her, signaling that he didn’t feel like talking.

This woman, strong as she is, sometimes acted as if she wasn’t too bright, making her quite hard to fathom.

“There is still a way!”

Ziwei suddenly slapped her head, quickly opened the console in front of her, and started searching furiously, soon pulling up a long list of files.

“What are these?”

Zhang Xiaoman suddenly had a bad feeling.

Ziwei answered with a serious and earnest expression:

“I just found the emergency repair manual for this ship in the database. It’s full of basic beginner’s maintenance operations. Since the damage isn’t too severe, we should be able to repair it using the guide!”

She pointed to the long list of files displayed in the holographic projection.

“See, this is the list of issues the main intelligent program detected for us. It automatically generated a repair manual, and we just need to follow the steps to repair.”

Zhang Xiaoman sighed inwardly, “Goodness,” it’s a “we,” and he barely even understood how to operate the spacecraft. And here they are, thrust into being mechanics.

But it seemed there was no other option now. He could only grit his teeth and start scrolling through the list in front of him, at which point his heart sank.

“Ziwei, there seems to be quite a lot of stuff here…”

“Yeah, but it’s okay, we’ll take it slow. This is already the most basic beginner’s repair manual, designed so that in a sudden crisis, every crew member on the ship can handle repairs.”

Beads of sweat formed on Zhang Xiaoman’s forehead.

“I get it… but that’s not what I mean…”

He quickly flipped through the manual, over 120 pages, before reaching the end.

“This long document with so many contents isn’t any kind of repair manual; it’s a blasted table of contents!”
