Chapter 236 Spaceship Repair
The Chinese spaceship was eventually brought to a stop by Ji Lang and Gu Nanfeng on an icy plain bordering North China and Country E. It was at this moment that they all truly saw just how large the spaceship was.
This ice field was originally a forest on the border between Country E and Country Hua. Before the apocalypse, it was a snow country tourist destination, a snow paradise that southern children dreamed of. However, after the apocalypse, the whole world was covered in snow, so Lu Yuan and Yang Xiao were not so excited anymore.
"No wonder this thing can hold 100,000 people." After getting off the spaceship, Pei Sihao could only see the entrance where they had come down, and then a huge black metal surface. From his current angle, he couldn't see the edge of the spaceship at all.
"This is a major national asset!" Ji Lang was also shocked by the spaceship in front of him. He couldn't believe that this behemoth had already been decommissioned.
“This looks somewhat like a new project that the base has been researching recently.” Gu Nanfeng had felt that the spaceship looked familiar earlier, and now that he had come down and looked at it from a distance, he realized that its shape was not exactly the same as the research subject in the new project data he had seen at the South China base, but it was not far off.
"This was designed and manufactured on Earth, so it must use Earth fuel, right?" After Lin Yun got off, he followed Gu Nanfeng and the others and walked around the huge machine.
“Probably.” Pei Sihao thought for a moment, then added, “But maybe in the interstellar era, new types of fuel will be used again, but Earth fuel should still be usable.”
"The fuel tank is still there, but it seems the system it's connected to has been changed." Lu Yuan's voice came through the communicator. Everyone else got off the ship to watch and look for the external refueling port, while Lu Yuan and his starship system searched for the internal fuel input port on the ship.
"I'll come up and take a look," Gu Nanfeng replied. In fact, they really couldn't find the external refueling port from this angle. It was probably on the side of the spaceship. If there was an internal refueling port, then there was no need to look outside. After all, in this freezing weather, the fuel would probably freeze if they took it out.
"If we could add fuel to this big thing, could we go straight to space?" Yang Xiao asked Ji Lang beside him.
"It should be possible." Ji Lang nodded. Even if it couldn't go directly into space, this thing would still be a very powerful transportation guarantee.
"I never expected Lu Xiaoyuan to have such amazing skills." Having just ended a deadly chase, and with nothing much to do, Yang Xiao decided not to return to the spaceship. Instead, he strolled around in the snow, letting himself relax completely as he stepped on the thick snow.
"Those two zombies were probably level nine, right?" Pei Sihao didn't follow Gu Nanfeng back to the spaceship, but stayed below the spaceship chatting with Ji Lang and Lin Yun.
"Hmm, and they seem to have developed the ability to communicate." Recalling the zombie's stammering words, Lin Yun continued, "If level nine zombies are this powerful, what kind of being would the true zombie king be?"
"I'm afraid these zombies are too..." Before Ji Lang could finish speaking, Yang Xiao, who had just returned from playing in the snow, smeared a large snowball on his face.
"Pah, pah, pah, what nonsense are you talking about?" Yang Xiao said as he threw another snowball at Ji Lang.
"Get on the spaceship!" Just as the snowball was about to reach Ji Lang, he suddenly raised his hand and caught the snowball that Yang Xiao threw at him. Then he made a stop gesture, looked around, and immediately called everyone back to the spaceship.
On one side of the spaceship's entrance/exit, Gu Nanfeng and Lu Yuan were studying the fuel pipeline. They needed to connect the fuel pipeline from the old Earth fuel tank to the engine. Just as Gu Nanfeng was about to start working on it, he saw Yang Xiao and Pei Sihao hurriedly climb up, followed by Lin Yun and Ji Lang, who quickly retreated and closed the entrance/exit.
"What's going on?" Lu Yuan asked, noticing Yang Xiao's expression as if he knew nothing, and then looking at Ji Lang and the others following behind.
"A lot of things are coming." Ji Lang said as he ran towards the control hall. At this moment, the spaceship seemed too big, and no matter how fast he ran, he still felt that there was still a long way to go.
"A lot of things?" Gu Nanfeng paused for a moment. He originally wanted to go with Ji Lang, but considering that the most important thing for the spaceship right now was to connect the oil pipeline and add fuel, he turned around and looked at Lin Yun and said, "Team Leader Lin, Yang Xiao, you go help Ji Lang. Xiao Hao, Xiao Yuan, and I will stay here to solve the energy problem."
After saying that, Gu Nanfeng asked Pei Sihao to act as his assistant and begin modifying the oil pipeline, while Lu Yuan prepared the fuel in the space. As soon as the connection was established, they would quickly start adding fuel.
They were currently at the very bottom of the entire spaceship. Just as Gu Nanfeng was diligently modifying the pipes, Lu Yuan seemed to faintly hear the roar of a large animal coming from below.
To be honest, the animals they've seen most recently are birds, so they've forgotten about the existence of other animals. In Country E and North China, there are many large animals that are not afraid of the cold, and with the virus mutation, they may even be more adapted to the cold.
Unlike Gu Nanfeng and Pei Sihao, Lu Yuan's mecha could be connected to the spaceship system via the starship system, so he could see everything that Ji Lang and the others saw.
"It's bears!" Lu Yuan said, then projected the image. Gu Nanfeng and Pei Sihao also saw that the spaceship was surrounded by a dense swarm of bears, including polar bears that were almost blending into the snow.
“No wonder the North China base is withdrawing.” Gu Nanfeng gritted his teeth, unscrewed the last nut, and then, with the help of Pei Sihao and Lu Yuan, bent the old oil pipeline back into place.
"Luckily, the old fuel tanks and fuel lines weren't removed." Pei Sihao sighed. Normally, when new fuel becomes available and the old fuel is no longer obtainable, modifying the fuel system should involve removing the old parts directly. In particular, the Earth fuel tanks are actually quite large and waste a lot of space. They never expected that the spaceship would be completely preserved.
"Hurry up." Without any intention of chatting, Gu Nanfeng handed two wrenches to Lu Yuan and Pei Sihao, and the three of them together screwed the nuts he had removed back on one by one.
Soon, their modifications were complete, and Lu Yuan and Pei Sihao began adding fuel to the tank. The bears on the ground showed no unusual activity. Seeing that Pei Sihao and Lu Yuan could handle things, Gu Nanfeng headed towards the control room.
