Soon, the rest of the starship's crew gathered in the command module.
These people looked tired, but they still maintained their focus and discipline.
Xu An's eyes swept over everyone, with a hint of determination on his face.
"Everyone, we are temporarily out of the battle. Reimu 6 VIII Bell (Four) Linglong"
"But this is only a temporary victory."
He paused, his tone softening, "You did a great job."
A trace of relief flashed in the crew members' eyes. This was a rare recognition for them.
Taro interjected, "It would be even better if we could have a hot meal."
A low laugh was heard in the cabin, and the atmosphere relaxed slightly.
Elena said softly, "Supplies on board the ship have been restored."
"We have plenty of time for a decent dinner."
Xu An nodded, a smile flashing in his eyes, "Okay, rest tonight."
He glanced at everyone with a determined look, "But tomorrow, we will continue."
The crew responded in unison, "Understood!"
After the meeting, people in the command cabin left one after another.
Tarot leaned back in his chair and yawned, "I really want to sleep all day."
Elena held him back, "Don't forget, there's still the supply cabin to check."
Taro rolled his eyes. "Why does this always happen to me?"
Xu An did not participate in their conversation, but turned and left the cabin.
He walked into the lounge area, his eyes scanning the quiet corridor.
The lighting here is soft, and the walls are inlaid with projections of the starry sky.
Chapter 240: Unbearable Speed! The Spaceship is in Danger!!
This is a soothing design that helps to prevent fatigue from long sailing trips.
"Xu An." A strange voice came from behind.
He turned around and saw a young girl standing there.
She was thin and petite, with slightly curly hair and a nervous look on her face.
"You are..." Xu An's eyes narrowed slightly.
The girl said a little awkwardly, "I'm Leah, the new maintenance worker."
"I was just assigned to this ship before you came back."
Xu An nodded, "Liya, welcome aboard."
His tone was calm, with a hint of gentleness.
Liya was visibly relieved. "I heard about your previous battle."
"Thank you for keeping this ship alive."
Xu An shook his head and said in a low voice, "It is because of everyone's efforts that we have the peace we have now."
Leah glanced down at the toolbox in her hands, "If you need anything, I can help."
"I am responsible for maintaining the No. 3 power module."
Xu An nodded, "Cabin No. 3 was damaged a little bit before, you can go and take a look."
Liya smiled slightly, "I understand. I'll go right away."
She turned and left, her steps brisk, clearly still carrying some of the immaturity of a newcomer.
Xu An looked at her back, a hint of thought flashing in his eyes.
"The arrival of new people... is a good thing." He muttered to himself.
He turned and walked into his own lounge, which was simply and neatly decorated.
The communicator on the table made a slight sound and he picked it up.
"Xu An, I just checked the data on the ship." Elena's voice came.
"Our victory attracted a lot of newcomers, and they are in awe of you."
Xu An frowned slightly, "Reverence is not what we need."
"They should know this is not a victory lap."
Elena was silent for a moment, then whispered, "But at least they're alive."
"And this is what you brought."
Xu An did not answer, his eyes fell on the starry sky outside the porthole.
"I hope this peace can last a little longer."
He ended the call, leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest.
Soon after, brisk footsteps were heard in the rest area.
Leah's voice came from a distance, "Taro, I have repaired cabin number three."
Taro's voice was filled with helplessness, "You are really motivated."
"It's the first day of sailing!"
Leah smiled and replied, "I just want to avoid being a burden."
Xu An listened to their conversation with a slight smile on his face.
This ordinary daily life is one of the meanings that he desperately protects.
But there was still a flicker of vigilance in his eyes, he knew the crisis was not far away.
He stood up from his chair and looked into the distance with a determined gaze.
A new starry sky is waiting, and he will embark on an unknown journey again.
The starship sailed in the calm sea of stars, and a rare peace was restored inside.
Xu An walked in the corridor, with the slight sound of machinery running around him.
The traces of the battle gradually disappeared, and the interior of the ship looked brand new.
He was about to head to the power cabin when he suddenly heard an argument.
The sound came from the left maintenance area, mixed with dissatisfaction and anxiety.
"I've already said that this module cannot be forcibly replaced!"
This was Elena's voice, with a hint of obvious annoyance.
"But it's too worn out to function!" another voice retorted.
Xu An approached and saw several people gathered in the maintenance area.
Elena stood in the middle, hands on her hips, facing a strange man.
The man was tall, with a resolute face, and held an energy module in his hand.
Xu An walked in slowly, his eyes sweeping between the two of them.
"What happened?" His voice was calm but authoritative.
Elena turned her head, her expression still full of dissatisfaction, "This guy wants to forcibly replace the core module."
"I told you, this needs to be calibrated, or the whole system will break down!"
The man stood up straight and looked at Xu An with a hint of stubbornness in his expression.
"I'm Kaxiu, the newly assigned engineer."
"This module is already overloaded. If it's delayed any further, it will explode."
Xu An glanced at the module in his hand and saw obvious cracks on it.
He looked at Elena, "Is he right?"
Elena was stunned for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Yes, but the calibration time will take 48 hours."
"The replacement modules we're using now can last two days."
Kaxiu snorted coldly, "Two days? What if there's an energy fluctuation?"
"This module can't survive any emergency acceleration!"
Xu An was silent for a moment, thinking about the two people's points of view.
His eyes were like knives, sweeping over the two of them, his tone calm.
"Kaxiu, can you replace the module right away?"
Kaxiu nodded, his tone firm, "Give me four hours, I can finish it."
Elena frowned, "But without calibration, the risk is too great!"
Xu An turned his gaze to Elena, his voice still calm.
"Can you monitor his replacement process in real time?"
Elena was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, but it's troublesome."
Xu An turned to look at Kaxiu with a deep look in his eyes, "Finish it within four hours."
"If you fail, you are responsible for the consequences."
Kaxiu was slightly startled, then a smile appeared on his lips, "I understand, sir."
Elena wanted to say something, but she shut her mouth after seeing Xu An's expression.
The two men started to act separately, one dismantling the module and the other adjusting the monitoring system.
Xu An stood aside, watching their actions calmly.
Time passed minute by minute, and the atmosphere in the maintenance area was tense and orderly.
Kaxiu's movements were quick and precise, and he seemed to be familiar with the equipment.
Although Elena was dissatisfied, a hint of admiration gradually appeared in her eyes.
"The wiring here is too complicated. How did you do it?" Elena asked in a low voice.
Kaxiu didn't look up, but just smiled faintly, "I've seen more complicated ones before."
Xu An stood by and watched the interaction between the two silently.
He noticed several obvious old scars on the back of Kaxiu's hand.
"Kaxiu, which ship did you serve on before?" Xu An asked.
Kaxiu paused for a moment, then continued to adjust the route.
"I was on the Broken Wing before." There was a hint of gloom in his tone.
Xu An's brows moved slightly, "That's a battleship from the border."
"I heard that the Broken Wing disappeared two years ago."
Kaxiu replied in a low voice, "Before we disappeared, we went through a fierce battle."
"After that battle, only three people survived on the ship."
Elena was stunned for a moment and stopped what she was doing.
"How did you survive in that kind of place?"
Chapter 241: Good Luck?! Just a far-fetched explanation!!
Kaxiu lowered his head to connect the last line, his tone somewhat bitter.
"Just good luck."
He stood up and clapped his hands, "Alright, module replacement is complete."
