Chapter 241 Main Engine Failure

Nan Rong was hesitating while calling up the personal information stored in the intelligent computer terminal while listening to the conversation coming from the bridge.

The people inside were all professionals who had discovered the problem before her and even detected the specific fault.

Unfortunately, they did not discuss how to deal with the situation, but only focused on blaming each other.

"Although the E092 small curvature engine produced by Tianbang Company is a bit old, it has never had any problems. It is not my idea to replace it with United Technology's D2073!" said a hoarse voice.

"But this is not the first flight after the replacement of D2073. We have run several times before and nothing happened. It must be that you, Old Wu, were not careful enough during the inspection!"

"Nonsense!" Old Wu's voice was shaking with anger. "I have the record of the electronic inspection! And the safety report issued by Shiloh Starport - Captain, you personally approved it before setting sail!"

"Enough!" A relatively dignified voice sounded: "Is this the time to argue about this? If cracks appear on the carrier of the acceleration pattern, it will be completely deformed in thirty minutes at most. When the speed drops by then - you all know what this means!"

"There is only one result of deceleration during the jump." Another voice said sadly: "The spacecraft will disintegrate into particles when it ejects from the warp space. Nothing will be left of us and the 827 passengers on board."

"We can only place our hopes on the passenger who is a structural engineer. We don't know if he can hold on."

Nan Rong retreated under the pressure of the robot guards and raised his voice: "Everyone inside, I also know a little about components, can you let me have a try?"

Before the voice fell, the robot guards around him had already put away their weapons and made way.

At the same time, the red rays that had always been lingering above Nan Rong's head also disappeared without a trace.

A large door slid open in front of Nan Rong and she walked in.

The interior of the bridge must have been specially designed, and the pressure felt inside is much stronger than outside.

There were four men in uniform inside, all of them slumped in their seats with sad faces. They glanced at her and then looked away, looking as if they had lost all hope in life.

"Sit down." The captain pointed to a seat nearby and said, "Have a drink."

"I thought you would be eager to solve the problem." Nan Rong said in surprise.

The captain smiled bitterly. "If I am sure, even if it is only one percent, I will not give up. But repairing the engine is not something that everyone can do."

He sighed, picked up a cup, and poured Nan Rong a glass of amber wine: "But your courage deserves a reward. Try it, this is my personal collection."

"But I am indeed a good component engineer." Nan Rong had no intention of taking the wine glass: "Take me to the main engine inspection cabin, and then send me the drawings of the acceleration pattern."

Before she finished speaking, the door slid open again, and two tall robots walked in carrying a man.

The man had obviously just been interrupted from a deep sleep and looked very listless.

But Nan Rong unexpectedly discovered that the man was someone she knew.

It’s Mr. Berg, the fourth-order component engineer of the Zero Boundary Matrix!
Mr. Berg didn't notice her. As soon as he was placed on the sofa, he coughed heavily and accused her, "Is this how you treat your guests? My body can't last long in warp space. What's so important that you have to wake me up?" "It's not important at all." The maintenance engineer on the spacecraft said casually, "It's just that there is a crack in the carrier of the acceleration pattern on the outside of the main engine. I want to ask if you can repair it."

Mr. Berg could hardly believe his ears.

"What did you say?" He widened his eyes, bloodshot quickly appeared in his eyes: "The main engine has failed? Or in warp space?"

"Yes." The captain put down his glass and said solemnly: "Mr. Berg, you are our last hope."

From the beginning to the end, he and the other three people did not take Nan Rong's self-recommendation seriously.

But the performance of Mr. Berg, the fourth-level component engineer, disappointed them greatly.

"Federation God!" He covered his face with his hands and fell heavily back on the sofa: "I shouldn't have left Xiluo at this point! It's over now, everything is over!"

His behavior can explain the problem more clearly than a formal answer.

"I knew it." The man in the deputy captain's uniform smiled bitterly, "Apart from a master like Master Yuwen, who else can repair the pattern in warp space - and it is an acceleration pattern on a running main engine."

"Yes." Maintenance engineer Old Wu also slumped back down again, picked up his glass and drank it all. "Now I envy those passengers who are in deep sleep. They know nothing about the crisis, and they won't feel any pain at all."

"Since he can't do it, then take me to try." Nan Rong raised his voice.

"Little girl, stop it." The captain shook his head and tried to put the wine into her hands again. "What's the point of you going there if even a fourth-level component engineer can't solve it? To be honest, I was just holding out for a sliver of hope. Never mind, let's have a few sips. This wine tastes really good."

Nan Rong ignored him and stepped forward, grabbed Mr. Berg by the collar, lifted him up and made him look at him.

"Don't you owe me a pension from that world?" Mr. Berg stood up straight in surprise and looked at her in disbelief: "Why are you on this spaceship too?"

"That's not important. What's important is that you tell them whether my component ability is better than yours."

"Of course." Berg said as a matter of course: "This is our Zero Boundary Matrix's specially invited mecha maintenance consultant. His attainments in component science are more than ten times better than mine."

"That's enough." Nan Rong impatiently let go of his hand and turned to the surprised captain and others: "Now, can you take me to the main engine maintenance room?"

"Okay." A glimmer of hope appeared in the eyes of the captain and others.

Although it is very dim and faint, it still exists.

The main engine inspection room was built on top of the engine hood, and the loud roar could be heard from afar.
Along with this, there is increasing pressure.

"The pressure here is equivalent to four times the standard star gravity." The maintenance engineer was only a third-level warrior, and he couldn't hold on before he even got close to the maintenance room.

The noise around him was deafening. He almost shouted at Nan Rong: "With the main engine fully running, the pressure in the inspection room has reached eight to ten times the standard star gravity. Do your best. No matter what the result is, we will be with you!"

Tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow at the latest, the written storyline will be released for everyone to see, and at the same time, the first volume will end and the second volume will begin!
