Chapter 130: Quick Airship Repair
It’s night.
Peter, who was dazed in the inner cabin of the airship, had just fallen asleep when he was startled awake by a sudden violent shaking.
Accompanied by the violent shaking of the airship's hull, there was a tragic scream from the deck above.
"Gah!!!"
The shaking this time was different from the previous air turbulence, but it actually seemed to tear the entire airship apart. The violent shaking shook the passengers inside the cabin.
"What's going on?! What happened? The airship is going to crash?!"
After vomiting all day, Brandon, who had just barely adapted, hurriedly asked three death questions.
Pete looked equally bewildered.
He has not taken many airships, especially long-distance airships with a range of nearly a thousand miles. He has only taken it once when he came to Greenport from Chim Town.
This was the first time he encountered this situation.
"It sounds like something happened on the deck, go up and take a look!" Gale said urgently.
Several people held on to the cargo boxes in the aisle and staggered up to the deck with difficulty.
The goblin captain, Ronald, was frantically pulling the operating lever next to the steering wheel back and forth, screaming miserably from time to time.
Seeing Pet and the others appearing on the deck, Ronald seemed to have found a savior and hurriedly shouted to them:
"Something big happened! Something big happened!!!"
Peter's heart sank.
"What happened, you should tell me quickly!"
Ronald said in a panic: "I...I don't know what's going on!"
Peter:?
A huge question mark was raised on the spot.
Ronald screamed while frantically pulling the operating lever next to him, but there was no sign of the airship stabilizing.
"The airship troubleshooting guide takes up too much space, so I didn't bring the airship with me!"
"So now I don't know where the problem is!"
"In short, the airship is now underpowered and is losing balance. It may capsize in the air at any time!"
"My goods! This voyage is going to be a huge loss!"
Peter's face was twisted with anger.
"Didn't you say before you launched that the failure rate for many years of navigation was zero? What's going on now?!"
"And it's already this time, are you still thinking about those goods? Shouldn't we first think about how we can survive?"
Ronald immediately retorted plausibly:
"Who told you that the failure rate of the Golden Chao Po Feng is zero!"
"The mortality rate caused by the malfunction is obviously zero!"
"The Caron Goblin parachute bag is hanging on the wall outside the cab!"
"If you're worried about something going wrong, you can always jump off the boat and leave!"
"We only count direct deaths caused by malfunctions. If someone jumps off the airship, the passenger will be missing!"
"The missing person cannot be confirmed dead, so how can he be included in the death rate!"
Brandon's face turned green upon hearing this.
Co-authoring turns out to be such a zero death!
As if to prove the urgency of the situation, an oracular message from the God of Knowledge also appeared.
[Temporary mission has been released! 】
[Task name: Airship repair]
[Task description: Due to long-term lack of maintenance and overweight load, the tail parts of the Jinchao Pofeng were damaged and lost, and are facing a crisis situation of losing power and crashing! Brave believers, try to save this airship that is about to be destroyed! 】
[Probability of reaching destination on current voyage: 18%]
The moment they received the oracle, several people were completely convinced! I really believed in Ronald!
I really can’t believe the quality of Goblin Engineering products!
At this point, there is no need to say anything else. If it weren't for the existence of the God of Knowledge, they might really have to consider which posture has a higher survival rate for skydiving.
Peter decisively took the lead in praying to Novin.
"Great God of Knowledge, please guide us in the direction!"
[Recommendation: Study "Airship Troubleshooting Encyclopedia" or "Goblin Parachute Bag User Guide"]
[Requirements: 3 knowledge points]
He decisively eliminated the option after "or", turned in enough knowledge points, and exchanged it for the so-called "Airship Trouble Repair Encyclopedia". A large amount of information poured into his mind.
Peter checked the repair catalog and decisively began to assign tasks: "Gale, please quickly read the "Fault Symptom Comparison Table" section, find the corresponding cause of the tail failure phenomenon, and tell us how to deal with it!"
"Miranda, you are responsible for the 'airship emergency repair means' part. There should be a repair kit here. After you find the cause, find all the necessary parts!"
"Brandon, you are responsible...forget it, you are not suitable for the task of reading, go and beat Ronald up! The fault is all caused by this bastard!"
"Rena, you go mobilize the other passengers. Let's throw all the cargo boxes on the way to the tail passage off the airship and open a way!"
Peter said, ignoring Ronald's loud protests.
"At this time, don't worry about the loss of cargo. We will repair the airship, and you can still deliver the remaining cargo. If it crashes, all your cargo will be gone!"
The task assignment was completed. Without saying a word, Peter took the time to rush to the tail wing, chanted a spell, and summoned the hand of the mage.
He was not strong enough and had to use the hands of a mage to lift the heavy cargo box.
After throwing down several cargo boxes one after another, he finally opened up a path that could allow people to pass.
Gale's voice came from far away:
"Pate! The cause of the malfunction has been found!"
"The airship was seriously overweight, and the tail propeller was overloaded, causing the bolts to fall off!"
"Judging from the current situation, if more bolts are lost, the tail wing is likely to fall off directly!"
Peter was so anxious that he shouted loudly: "So - how should we fix it!"
In just a few minutes, the probability dropped from 18% to 15%, and the tail wing was already visibly crumbling.
He didn't even expect that before today, they didn't know anything about goblin airships, but they were suddenly forced to become airship repairmen because of the malfunction of the Golden Chao Wind Breaker!
Miranda rushed over with a large box in her arms: "Finding the places where the parts were lost and re-inserting the spare bolts will alleviate the problem. At least, it should be enough for us to reach our destination!"
Peter looked at the box Miranda brought, and there was a line of words painted on it with white paint:
"Produced by Gungun Bolt Workshop, with excellent quality and guaranteed quality! Please contact Greenport Lower City District to purchase..."
"...Gan, damn it Brandon, don't cut corners on the work you usually do!"
Treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, Peter took the box, squeezed hard to the tail wing of the airship, and called the mage's hand over.
Concentrating on using the mage's hand to hold the bolt, he aimed at the hole on the tail where the part was obviously missing, quickly inserted the bolt in, and tightened it!
Check again for temporary task reminders.
[Probability of reaching destination on current voyage: 20%]
Peter immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Bless the God of Knowledge, thank you for your protection!"
The repair works!
