Star Ocean: Starting From the Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 9 Personal Terminal

Chen Ming considered these two options.

He decisively chose the latter.

If he repaired the outer armor of the spacecraft, he might faint while repairing it.

He could repair it before he had to rest, and if he fainted, he could fall asleep quickly.

So Chen Ming, who had made up his mind, took two personal terminals and sat on the chair in the captain's room.

Together with the starry sky outside the porthole that was constantly changing due to the movement of the spacecraft, he studied the personal terminal.

With the memory of the repairman Chen Ming, Chen Ming quickly became familiar with the personal terminal in his hand.

After all, it is actually similar to a personal computer, and its functions are just that, such as communication, recording, and saving files.

However, it doesn't matter what the equipment is like or what functions it has, what matters is what's inside.

When he was in the space station before, Chen Ming found the space station map and his log in the doctor's terminal.

It let Chen Ming know the situation of the space station, and also provided a lot of convenience for Chen Ming's subsequent actions.

This time, the search in the doctor's terminal really found some new things for Chen Ming, some e-books.

The contents of the book are mostly about the use of simple medical equipment, the collection of common herbs, and the methods of preparing medicines.

Although it seems useless at first glance, there are so many planets in the universe, and even if the names of common plants are listed, I am afraid that the capacity of the entire personal terminal can be filled.

But when Chen Ming opened one of the e-books, he found that all the common herbs recorded in the book came from one place.

From the planet called Ruimu that the space station orbits.

Needless to say, what this means is that the content of the book will have an immeasurable effect on Chen Ming's landing on the planet later.

In a completely unfamiliar natural environment, who can guarantee that he will not get sick or injured in this life?

Although Chen Ming just saw the medical box prepared by the former crew in the living cabin, this medical box was placed here thirty years ago.

The medical tools inside should still be usable, but medicines must have lost all their medicinal properties in the past thirty years.

These are what Chen Ming needs most now.

Although the doctor died thirty years ago, he really helped him a lot.

If there was a chance, Chen Ming wanted to burn or bury the doctor's body, at least to rest in peace.

Chen Ming also looked at his personal terminal.

He found his electronic ID and Empire Savings Card, which is also his salary card.

The identity and resume of the maintenance engineer Chen Ming can be seen clearly here. It is very similar to Chen Ming, that is, an ordinary person who was born as an orphan and had a dull and difficult first half of his life.

The savings card seems to be unable to be viewed because it is not connected to the Internet.

I don't know whether the company has continued to pay me in the past 30 years, or whether my name has been erased, or the company is actually gone?

Chen Ming didn't think much about it. It's better for me not to have anything to do with the company now.

Speaking of which, I don't seem to have found these two functions on the doctor's terminal.

Maybe there are, but they are hidden by the doctor.

Chen Ming picked up the doctor's terminal again, and soon he really found these two functions in a hidden private folder.

Although they are all locked, I can't view the doctor's specific resume and past situation.

But Chen Ming still knew the doctor's name, Ding He.

If there is a chance to build a grave, maybe he can write his name on it.

Chen Ming carefully checked the doctor's terminal again, and after confirming that there was nothing missing, he picked up his own terminal.

In addition to finding his ID and savings card in his personal terminal, Chen Ming also found some other things.

They were similar e-books to those in the doctor's terminal, but the types were completely different. They were all professional books related to maintenance work.

I don't know if there are too few entertainment activities in the space station, or if the doctor and the maintenance engineer Chen Ming both like reading books?

Chen Ming himself actually has similar hobbies.

After flipping through the terminal casually, Chen Ming saw two books that he was very interested in, "Analysis of the Design Ideas of Xinda Company's Spacecraft" and "Prerequisites and Applicable Environments for Ship Weapon Modification".

In addition, there are some blueprints of weapons and equipment commonly used in civilian ships, as well as their modified blueprints.

It just so happens that Chen Ming can't do much on the spacecraft now, so he can take a look and get familiar with the job of a maintenance engineer.

If repairing a spaceship still consumes so much energy in the future, then some simple and easy-to-repair damages should be repaired by myself as much as possible.

Although the panel repair is efficient, Chen Ming still feels that it is better to experience the feeling of being drained of energy less times.

Chen Ming shook off the messy thoughts, opened the book he was interested in, and while reading, he reviewed the memory of the maintenance engineer in his mind.

With the combination of the two, Chen Ming read and digested these professional books very quickly, and he basically understood some of the contents after reading them once.

Although he might be a little rusty in practice, since he would need to fly a spaceship across half a light year in the future, he would sooner or later accumulate experience in repairing spaceships.

The time spent reading books passed quickly.

A few hours later, until the work cabin gave a reminder that the temporary storage was full, Chen Ming reluctantly raised his head from a book called "Common Weapon Modification Manual" that he was more interested in.

Came to the work cabin and sent a batch of newly-made metal ingots to the storage cabin opposite.

Still like before, most of them were worthless metals such as iron.

To be honest, if Chen Ming was really a crew member who made a living by mining on a mining spaceship, then mining like this might not even make back the fuel consumption in the end.

But Chen Ming is not now, and the fuel is also from the space station, so it's casual.

After putting away the metal ingots, Chen Ming took a few bites of the packaged survival food that he had torn open in the cold storage.

Then he continued to immerse himself in the extremely interesting contents on the terminal.

The process of reading the book combined with past memories was as if he was doing it himself.

Chen Ming kept reading until he felt obviously tired mentally and physically.

After collecting a wave of metal ingots produced in the work cabin, he lay on the bed in the living cabin.

Looking at the 8 o'clock in the morning on the personal terminal according to the zero time zone of the earth, Chen Ming silently changed it to 10 o'clock in the evening.

In this situation, he can do whatever he wants.

Finally, Chen Ming opened the panel, looked at the 24% durability of the port armor on the panel, and chose to repair.

Then Chen Ming lost consciousness and fell into a deep sleep.
