Chapter 731 Warning Signal
For Fang Lanyin, this is an opportunity that she must seize. If she misses it, she may not have the chance to leave the Alan Star Chain for a long time.
So this girl was very motivated, with a toolbox in each hand, and she even began to imagine a life in the void.
"Don't come over, what do you want to do?"
As soon as they approached the Manta, a warning sound came out.
This made Fang Lanyin stunned. She clearly saw that there was no one in the cockpit.
So Fang Lanyin put down the tool box and raised her hands to show that she had no ill intentions: "I am not a suspicious person, I am a mechanic, and you need maintenance."
"But you don't look like a mechanic."
"This is a real mechanic's jacket. Although the one I'm wearing underneath doesn't look like it, the jacket is real!"
"..."
Can a jacket speak for itself?
From the silence, Fang Lanyin seemed to sense distrust. She pointed to the folding wings of the shuttle:
"There is something wrong with the wing on your left side. The reaction will be slightly sluggish when performing a downward left turn."
Li Chengqi moved the joystick slightly and could see that when the rudder was turned to the right or left, the left side was slightly slower. The difference was so small that you would not notice it unless you looked carefully.
Li Chengqi noticed it when operating the Manta, but it was not a big problem. He didn't pay attention to it, thinking it was a design problem with the shuttle itself.
By the way, who is this person? He can actually find the problem by just looking at the stationary shuttle?
Considering that the other party might have real abilities, and that he came out of the house where Alyssa went, and was probably not a naughty kid playing with dismantling the shuttle, Li Chengqi said:
"Okay. You can get closer."
Fang Lanyin gave a small cheer, carrying the tool box and ran to the side of the Manta. After a brief inspection, she easily opened the access panel on the side.
At this time, she asked:
"Are you a machine spirit? This is the first time I have seen a shuttle have such a clear self-awareness."
"No, I'm not a machine spirit."
"Then what's your name? There has to be a title, right?"
"My name is Li Chengqi."
"I'm Fang Lanyin."
Li Chengqi was a little surprised when he saw this name. This was the first time he saw the name of a Chinese person outside of a martial arts script. When he clicked on the character's attributes, he saw that it was indeed correct.
But I looked at the vertical painting next to the attributes...
What a great Seqin.
This reminded Li Chengqi of chocolate and coriander. The cat lady's lethality is invincible.
"You don't have much oil, and it's very old and needs to be replaced. The bearings on the variable wing may be broken or damaged. I need to take a closer look."
Fang Lanyin said, and with a swish, she got under the shuttle, neatly opened the oil drain valve, and drained out the old oil.
Then without even looking at the oil stains on his body, he climbed onto the variable wing from the tail to check the rotating shaft.
"A steel ball in the bearing was cracked. Fortunately, it was not stuck in the bearing. You must have been driven very roughly."
Sorry, I am the one who drives roughly...
Not only were the pilots unable to withstand the amazing maneuvers performed by Li Chengqi, but the aircraft itself was also unlikely to be able to withstand them. After all, this was just a shuttle.
"Can it be fixed?"
"The problem is not big. This kind of minor problem can be repaired quickly. If it is a major problem that requires replacement of parts, it will be more troublesome."
Fang Lanyin jumped off the wing, took out a notebook and made a few quick strokes, then said:
"Open the hatch. I have to open the inner layer from the inside to see if there is any damage to the pipeline."
Li Chengqi heard the words and opened the hatch obediently. The girl's few words really proved that she was capable of maintaining the shuttle.
This shuttle was brought out of the ruins and has not been started for more than a thousand years. This means that the void environment is conducive to preservation, otherwise it would have become a piece of scrap metal.
It's already quite difficult to drive it now. Li Chengqi's operation is too violent. The Manta needs to be inspected or even overhauled.
Li Chengqi also knew this. He looked at the emoji bubble that popped up next to Lan Yin's head at the top of the screen.
"You seem very happy?"
"Um."
Fang Lanyin entered the cabin, found the internal panel, and used power tools to unscrew the screws while saying:
"I have wanted to leave the Alan Star Chain and go out to work since I was a child, and now I finally have the opportunity." "But isn't it very comfortable here?"
"I didn't say it was bad here."
"Do you like adventure?"
"No, it should be said that I just want to try and see what I can do."
This girl is a bit interesting, she is completely different from Alyssa.
When Li Chengqi spoke, she thought it was a machine spirit, but when Li Chengqi clearly denied it, she would not ask what Li Chengqi was, but would ask his name.
This subtle difference made Li Chengqi feel the difference in how this girl and Alyssa treated people.
She did not look at Li Chengqi as a shuttle, but as an equal, talking face to face.
This made Li Chengqi feel that this girl was good and could handle it.
Of course, it also has something to do with the fact that Fang Lanyin's portrait looks much sexier than Alyssa.
"There doesn't seem to be a major problem with the driveshaft. I'll have to put a probe into the cabin to check for any minor cracks."
"Oh, it's up to you."
The Manta is in serious need of maintenance, so it would be nice to have such a reliable mechanic to help.
The so-called probe is a finger-long thing that can fly remotely. Some are like drones. They are designed to enter narrow areas that are inaccessible to humans and check whether the mechanical structure is damaged.
Fang Lanyin started the probe and put it in through the inspection window, and then she walked into the cockpit.
Carefully avoiding the oil stains on her body from sticking to the chair, Fang Lanyin sat down and seemed very excited.
She lay on the main console and kissed the main control screen.
"I have never felt better than now. I am inspecting a real spaceship. I believe that I will be on a real starship soon."
Li Chengqi, who was on the other side of the screen, looked at her, suddenly a little embarrassed.
this……
Does that count as being forcibly kissed?
–‐‐——–‐‐——
Alyssa came to Alan Star Link to find help, but she was not in such a hurry that she couldn't stay for another day or two.
In Fenghua's words, look at your face. You must have not eaten or slept well recently. If you stay here for a few more days, the climate in Alan Starlink is so nurturing.
So Alyssa, who couldn't refuse the hospitality, had no choice but to stay.
This trip was not in vain. At least the position of the mechanic was secured. Now we still need to find another navigator and two or three more commandos.
When Long wakes up from his deep sleep in a few days, including Alyssa, there will be a team of six or seven people in total.
Although it is obvious that there are very few people to seize a starship, they do not want to fight head-on. They just want to find a way to sneak up on the starship, and then sneak in and activate other people on the starship to seize the bridge.
Having too many people is inconvenient, so a team of six or seven people is just right.
The biggest problem is to find a ship that can sail in the void.
The Manta can jump, but its speed is too slow, not to mention that each jump consumes a lot of energy. With the ability of the Manta, it can jump up to two consecutive jumps with one refueling, and the maximum distance cannot exceed 10 yars.
With this ability, trying to catch up with a starship is nothing more than a dream.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt a headache. Lying on the bed, Alyssa turned over.
This problem can only be solved bit by bit when looking for team members.
Just as Alyssa turned around and thought about what to do next, at the moment when day and night alternated regularly in the Alan Star Chain, a slender light was reflected on the window.
The red light showed a great sense of presence, and Alyssa immediately jumped out of bed.
She recognized it, it was the warning sign.
