Star Ocean: Starting from the Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 6 Repair
After reading the spacecraft type panel, Chen Ming 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 machine gun that was still intact.

[22mm machine gun]

[Type: Small kinetic energy weapon]

[Manufacturer: Cinda Rockwell Arms Company]

[Ammo load: 231/1000]

[Effective precision killing range: 2000 meters]

[Rate of fire: 240 rounds/minute]

[Durability: 54%]

[Available operations: Replace/Repair]

"Ok?"

Chen Ming did not expect that the actual condition of this seemingly intact machine gun was actually not very good, and it also needed to be repaired.

However, in Chen Ming's memory, machine guns of this type and caliber are often used on civilian spacecraft to prevent some meteorites in space and provide the most basic resistance in combat. The overall structure is relatively simple.

As long as you have the materials, repairing it is the easiest thing to do.

It's just that this panel is different from the [Spaceship Repair Guide] panel that Chen Ming clicked on before.

In addition to [Repair], there is also an additional option of [Replace].

Chen Ming tried to click on it.

A new panel popped up in front of me, but it was empty.

It may be because there are no spare weapons on the spacecraft that can be replaced.

Chen Ming turned it off directly. It seemed that the choice of [replacement] would be decided later.

However, this panel also made Chen Ming notice a problem.

If you want to operate and understand a certain part of the spacecraft in more detail, you must open a more detailed panel.

Just like the outer armor of the spacecraft.

On the [Spaceship Repair Guide] panel just now, Chen Ming can see the overall armor condition of the spacecraft. The overall durability is about 60%.

However, when Chen Ming clicked on the [Armor: Aluminum Steel Composite External Armor] column, he could see more detailed information about all the armor of the spacecraft.

Including six directions: front, port, starboard, top, bottom, and stern.

Chen Ming saw some problems here.

The armor on the port side of the spacecraft was heavily damaged, and the total durability was as low as 24%.

Other armors also have their own damage. The top and bottom armors have the smallest loss, both at around 80%.

It's okay to look at the spacecraft as a whole, but in fact, somewhere may be in danger.

So Chen Ming had better look at all the spacecraft panels carefully.

If possible, Chen Ming can also wear protective clothing and go out to take a look, just in case there is any damage and he didn't pay attention to repair it.

Now that all the panel points are open, Chen Ming also plans to try this repair function and experiment in advance to repair the landing module later.

Previously, 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 single machine gun.

Chen Ming remembered that he had seen some materials when he entered the storage cabin to look for food.

And their existence happens to be displayed on the [Repair] panel.

Just right for this.

Chen Ming got up and entered the storage compartment, and suddenly remembered that there were insect eggs and insect corpses in the refrigerator next to him.

However, Chen Ming is not in a hurry to deal with them for the time being.

Because sometimes, they may become Chen Ming's last choice.

Inside the storage cabin, Chen Ming once again saw some of the ores that the crew had harvested 30 years ago and were 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.

[22mm machine gun]

[Type: Small kinetic energy weapon]

[Manufacturer: Cinda Rockwell Arms Company]

[Ammo 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 its ammunition reserve only has one round left in the magazine.

Chen Ming didn't think much and directly clicked the [Repair] button on the panel.

The new page that pops up shows the various materials needed for repair, and the ones in front of you are enough.

Chen Ming clicked the confirmation button again.

Immediately afterwards, his brain suddenly seemed to be drained, and a feeling of exhaustion suddenly surged into his brain.

At the same time, the materials needed for repair on the shelf in front of him melted like liquid and flowed out of the spacecraft along the spacecraft's electrical system.

Through the camera outside the spacecraft, Chen Ming could see that the damaged 22mm caliber cannon seemed to be absorbing metallic liquid, and its damaged appearance gradually returned to like new.

The durability on the panel was restored to 100%, and the repair button disappeared.

Although Chen Ming himself 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 ammunition count of the machine gun he had just repaired returned to 1000/1000.

Chen Ming thought for a while and tried to fire in an uninhabited direction. As a result, a dozen bullets were actually fired under Chen Ming's control.

But Chen Ming remembered very clearly that before the machine gun was repaired, only one bullet was still in the chamber.

In order to confirm that he was not dazzled just now, Chen Ming once again clicked on the panel of another reasonably good machine gun.

Its durability is 54%, and it has 231 rounds of ammunition left.

Chen Ming pressed the [Repair] button again.

Repairing this machine gun requires the same materials, but the quantity is much less than the one that was completely damaged just now.

Chen Ming chose OK.

Immediately afterwards, my brain felt tired again, and my spirit was being consumed.

However, compared to what he had consumed before, Chen Ming could still hold on.

This time, Chen Ming did not pay all his attention to the metallic liquid flowing outside the spacecraft, but also paid attention to the changes in the panel.

Just like what happened just now, all the bullets that Chen Ming had consumed by shooting the bugs that were chasing him were refilled, and his ammo reserve returned to 1000/1000.
[Repair] You can even repair all the lost bullets, which is a bit exaggerated.

Seeing this scene, Chen Ming felt more and more that his abilities were too magical.

Since the effect is so outstanding, there is no need to worry about repairing the landing system in the future.

Even if he is just a dabbler with no memory as a repairman, he can repair the spacecraft with just the panels as long as he has the materials.

But Chen Ming doesn't want to rely solely on this panel. Sometimes he still wants to do things within his power himself.

You will never suffer from learning a technology, or reviewing and mastering a technology.

Chen Ming, who felt a little tired, postponed repairing the external armor for the time being. If he repaired it again, he might faint directly.

After taking a short rest and relieving some mental fatigue.

Chen Ming plans to do something else next.

For example, consider how you would utilize your grow chambers.
