Chapter 736 A Few Nuts
Flashes of explosions in the distance were reflected on her mask from time to time. Fang Lanyin had no time to pay attention to them, and didn't even have time to see how far the explosion was from her. She was concentrating on checking the hole in the Manta that was torn by the ion beam.

"How is it, can it be repaired?"

Li Chengxi's voice came from the communicator, and Fang Lanyin nodded seriously:
"No problem, the Manta is very strong, this is not a fatal injury."

She opened the toolbox floating beside her, reached out and pressed the button on her chest, and the lights on both sides of the mask turned on, allowing her to observe more clearly.

However, apart from being sturdy, the Manta Ray really has no other shortcomings.

After all, this is a time-travel machine from more than a thousand years ago, so it is not an exaggeration to call it an antique.

Its performance is not as good as that of space fighters, and it is even inferior to the shuttle modified by pirates. It can fight purely because of Li Chengxi's technical strength.

It's like flying a WWII propeller in a room with first-generation jet fighters. It's not completely unbeatable, but the difference in performance is visible to the naked eye.

Li Chengxi only then really wanted to change his vehicle, but then again, could he change it? How could he change it?

In this script, Li Chengxi controls the Manta from the very beginning, but he cannot interfere with anything other than the Manta, and he still needs to study how to change the vehicle.

Besides, even if it can be replaced, does Alyssa have the money to buy it?

Li Chengxi looked at the model placed under the screen as decoration and thought to himself that it would be great if it could be used. It would be so much fun to drive a Gundam and play Gundam Warriors directly.

——His addiction hasn’t subsided yet.

Turning his head and looking at the screen again, Li Chengxi said:
"Why are you crying? Can't it be repaired? We can go back."

In a zero-gravity environment, tears will accumulate in the eyes. She can't rub her eyes with a mask on, so Fang Lanyin can only shake her head to get the tears out of her eyes.

"It's all because of me. If I hadn't dismantled the attitude controller..."

"I thought you were crying for something, is that all? Don't worry, it's not your fault, it's mainly because I was too anxious."

Seeing the opportunity to get involved, Li Chengxi started the engine directly. If he waited a little longer, Fang Lanyin would have enough time to check the condition of the Manta and would not have forgotten the attitude controller.

Li Chengxi didn't care about this at all. He knew very well how important the ground crew was.

For example, when you are playing a flight simulation game, after a fierce battle, only half of the plane is left when it lands at the airport, and the ground crew can repair it for you.

——Or maybe a new one was towed out.

In Li Chengxi's opinion, Fang Lanyin was the ground crew officer. He was in a hurry to take off, so could he blame the ground crew officer for not repairing the repair properly?
"But……"

“If you blame yourself again, I will let Alyssa leave without you.”

"do not!"

"Instead of reflecting on yourself, why not blame others and enjoy your immoral life? Isn't that good? Be happier."

This made Fang Lanyin laugh:
"Your twisted logic actually sounds reasonable."

"Even a twisted logic is a logic, so it naturally makes sense."

Looking at the emoticon bubble that popped up next to Fang Lanyin's head, I felt that this girl's mood should be better.

People with a lot of moral integrity are like this. When something happens, their first reaction is to think about what they did wrong. Although having moral integrity is a good thing, blaming oneself too much is also a kind of psychological abnormality.

Fang Lanyin wanted to leave Alan Star Chain so much, and it might be this desire that made her so cautious.

The person with a completely opposite personality to Fang Lanyin is Aurday. She is so confident that she seems to be broadcasting all the time that she thinks she is the only one in the world and that she will make mistakes, but what can she do about it?

So you will find that Aoerdai has no psychological problems at all. Even the carefree Yang Yiyi has had troubles before, but Aoerdai has none of them. - Although this is also another form of "wow".

While thinking about this, Li Chengxi saw a message in the dialog box saying 'I don't have enough nuts'.

"Is it necessary? As long as it can ensure that the Manta Ray flies smoothly."

"We can fly back, but without the nut, it will affect the magic power pipeline, the ion beam on the left will be unusable, and the engine output will be reduced to a quarter of its original. Even if I just installed the attitude stabilizer, it will be difficult to control the shuttle to fly smoothly in this situation."

One engine has greater power, while the other engine has less power. In this case, the body will tilt to one side. Li Chengxi once used this trick to drift.

But that is under controllable circumstances. When it is uncontrollable, it will seriously affect flight stability. In serious cases, it will fall into a spin that cannot be recovered, leading to the destruction of the aircraft and death of people.

Similar things have happened many times in the history of air crashes, and of course there are corresponding methods.

For example, if you adjust the engine output on the other side to be equal to that of the side with smaller output, the engine output on both sides will naturally not be distorted.

But if this is done, the speed of the Manta will drop significantly.

The Planetary Defense Force has already pushed the front line over, and now outside the wreckage there are pirate shuttles and Planetary Defense Force space fighters everywhere. Losing speed in such a chaotic battle is obviously very dangerous, so it is better to stay and hide in the wreckage.

Moreover, if the engine output is too low, it will not be able to land in a gravity environment and will hit the ground directly.

The Manta needs repairs, and the only starships that can provide them are those of the Planetary Defense Force.

However, they would definitely not allow the Manta Ray to board the ship.

It's like an aircraft carrier battle group is performing a combat mission, busy launching and recovering aircraft, and you, a civilian aircraft, say you want to land. Let's see if the aircraft carrier will pay attention to you.

This will seriously affect the efficiency of attendance, and there is also the possibility that the enemy will sneak in and self-destruct. The enemy identification signal is only to prevent the planetary defense force from attacking the Manta.

To sum up, either we have to find a few nuts that Fang Lanyin needs and temporarily repair the Manta to the point where it can fly, or we have to stay in the wreckage and wait for this battle to be over.

Li Chengxi scratched his head. He didn't have any nuts at home. If he went to the hardware store to buy them now, he wouldn't be able to get them in time. People wouldn't open their doors in the middle of the night.

Then I changed my mind and realized that it seemed to be true.

Li Chengxi jumped off the space capsule, ran to the drawer under the coffee table in the living room, and found half a bag of screws, nuts, gaskets and so on.

This is what was left over from installing the space capsule this morning. In order to have spares, this kind of home appliance that needs to be installed before use will come with many more screws and nuts than needed.

Not knowing if the size would work, Li Chengxi stuffed the bag of nuts into the screen.

"Can you see if this can be used?"

This operation was similar to when he usually handed some instant food to Yang Yiyi, and it had almost become a muscle memory.

But at the same time the nut was thrown into the screen, Li Chengxi saw that Fang Lanyin's side suddenly lit up.

Fang Lanyin also saw the light. She turned around and saw a handful of screws and nuts floating in the air.

"There are a few that can be used. Let's make do with them for now."

Fang Lanyin thought that Li Chengxi had thrown them out of the cabin, so she didn't pay much attention to it. She just grabbed a few nuts and continued working.

But Li Chengxi saw clearly that those nuts were not thrown in by Li Chengxi, but were created...
