Chapter 6 Repair
After Chen Ming finished reading the type panel of the spacecraft, he had a general understanding of the spacecraft itself.
After thinking for a while, he continued to click on the starboard weapon, which was the column of the intact machine gun.
[22mm machine gun]
[Type: Small kinetic weapon]
[Manufacturer: Sinda Rockwell Weapons Company]
[Ammunition load: 231/1000]
[Effective precision killing range: 2000 meters]
[Rate of fire: 240 rounds/minute]
[Durability: 54%]
[Available operations: Replace/repair]
"Hmm?"
Chen Ming didn't expect that the actual situation of this seemingly intact machine gun was not so good, and it also needed to be repaired.
However, in Chen Ming's memory, this type and caliber of machine guns are often used on civilian spacecraft to prevent some meteorites in space and to provide the most basic resistance in combat. The overall structure is relatively simple.
As long as there are materials, repairing is the simplest thing.
It's just that this panel is different from the one in the [Spaceship Repair Guide] that Chen Ming opened before.
In addition to [Repair], there is also an additional [Replace] option here.
Chen Ming tried to click it.
A new panel popped up in front of him, but it was empty.
It may be because there are no other spare weapons that can be replaced on the spaceship.
Chen Ming turned it off directly. It seems that the [Replace] option will be discussed later.
However, this panel also made Chen Ming notice a problem.
If you want to operate and understand a certain part of the spaceship in more detail, you must open a more detailed panel.
For example, the external armor of the spaceship.
On the [Spaceship Repair Guide] panel just now, Chen Ming can see the overall armor of the spaceship, and the overall durability is about 60%.
However, when Chen Ming clicked on the [Armor: Aluminum-steel composite external armor] column, he can also see more detailed details of all the armor of the spaceship.
Including the front, port, starboard, top, bottom, and tail.
Chen Ming saw some problems here.
The armor on the port side of the spacecraft has been damaged a lot, and the total durability has dropped to 24%.
The other armors have also been damaged, and the top and bottom armor have the least loss, both around 80%.
The spacecraft as a whole is OK, but in fact a certain place may be in danger.
So Chen Ming had better take a close look at all the places on the entire spacecraft panel.
If possible, Chen Ming can also go out and take a look in protective clothing to prevent any damaged places from being repaired.
Now that the panel has been opened, Chen Ming also plans to try this repair function to experiment in advance for the repair of the landing module later.
Before, Chen Ming wanted to repair the entire spacecraft at one time, but there was a problem of insufficient materials.
But there should still be materials to repair a machine gun alone.
Chen Ming remembered that he had seen some materials when he went into the storage cabin to find food before.
And the [Repair] panel just happened to show their existence.
It can be used here.
Chen Ming got up and entered the storage cabin, and suddenly remembered that there were insect eggs and insect corpses in the refrigerator next to it.
However, Chen Ming was not in a hurry to deal with them for the time being.
Because sometimes, they might become Chen Ming's last choice.
Inside the storage compartment, Chen Ming once again took out some ore that the crew had harvested thirty years ago and stored here.
Some of them have even been smelted and cast into ingots and placed here, ready for use at any time.
Chen Ming clicked on the panel of the completely damaged machine gun on the panel.
[22mm machine gun]
[Type: Small kinetic weapon]
[Manufacturer: Sinda Rockwell Weapons Company]
[Ammunition load: 1/1000]
[Effective killing range: 2000 meters]
[Durability: 7%]
[Available operations: Replace/repair]
It can be seen that its durability is only a pitiful 7%, and there is only one round of ammunition left in the magazine.
Chen Ming didn't think much about it and directly clicked the [Repair] button on the panel.
The new page that popped up showed the various materials needed for repair, and these were enough.
Chen Ming clicked the confirmation button again.
Then, his brain suddenly seemed to be drained, and a feeling of fatigue instantly surged into his brain.
At the same time, the materials needed for repair on the shelf in front of him melted like liquid, flowing out of the spacecraft along the power system of the spacecraft.
Through the camera outside the spacecraft, Chen Ming could see that the damaged 22mm caliber machine gun seemed to be absorbing the metal liquid, and the damaged appearance gradually recovered.
The durability on the panel was restored to 100%, and the repair button disappeared.
Although Chen Ming was not in good condition due to using this repair ability, he was still very satisfied with the effect and was about to cut off the camera's field of view.
But at this moment, Chen Ming suddenly noticed that the number of bullets in the machine gun he had just repaired had returned to 1000/1000.
Chen Ming thought about it and tried to fire in the direction of no one. As a result, more than ten bullets were really fired under Chen Ming's control.
But Chen Ming remembered very clearly that there was only one bullet in the barrel of this machine gun before the repair.
In order to confirm that he was not dazzled just now, Chen Ming clicked on the panel of another relatively good machine gun again.
Its durability was 54%, and there were 231 rounds of ammunition left.
Chen Ming pressed the [Repair] button again.
Repairing this machine gun requires the same materials, but the number is much less than the completely damaged one just now.
Chen Ming chose to confirm.
Then the brain felt tired again, and his spirit was exhausted.
However, compared with the previous consumption, Chen Ming can still hold on.
This time, Chen Ming did not focus all his attention on the metal liquid flowing outside the spacecraft, but also paid attention to the changes in the panel.
Just as what happened just now, some of the bullets that Chen Ming had consumed by shooting the bugs chasing him were all replenished, and the reserve bullets returned to 1000/1000.
[Repair] can even repair all the lost bullets, which is a bit exaggerated.
Seeing this scene, Chen Ming felt that his ability was too magical.
Since the effect is so outstanding, Chen Ming does not need to worry about repairing the landing system in the future.
Even if he is only a half-baked repairman with the memory of a repairman, as long as there are materials, he can repair the spacecraft with the panel alone.
But Chen Ming does not want to rely solely on this panel. Sometimes he still hopes to do some things within his ability.
Learning a technology, or reviewing and mastering a technology will never be a disadvantage.
Chen Ming, who felt a little tired, temporarily postponed the repair of the external armor. If he repaired it again, he might faint directly.
After taking a short break and relieving his mental fatigue, Chen Ming planned to do something else next. For example, he would consider how to use the planting chamber.
