This area is a Class B residential area, where most of the residents are middle-level managers, as well as senior maintenance technicians and mid- to senior-level engineers. They should be able to find some useful tools here.

The level of technology on the Dawn was clearly much higher than that on Earth, and the industrial division of labor was also more detailed. When he first wanted to choose a direction to study, he looked at the vast catalog and even felt a little despair. It was completely impossible for one person to master so much knowledge.

Finally, he chose communications equipment maintenance. Even in this industry, it is impossible to learn all the knowledge.

What he had memorized through the learning machine before was really just the most basic knowledge, just like high school physics and chemistry, it was just conceptual knowledge that allowed you to have a systematic understanding, and it was more inclined towards application.

If you want to study in depth, there are many branches for you to choose from. The deeper you go, the more subdivided branches there are, and the number is extremely large.

The same is true for other industries. If the people living in Area C form the foundation of the Dawn, then the people living in Area B are the most solid force of mankind. It is their existence that has ensured that the Dawn has not encountered any problems for hundreds of years.

It was the disappearance of these people that prevented the Dawn from even lasting two months. Major problems arose in its operation, and there was no manpower to carry out timely repairs, which caused a chain reaction that affected the entire spacecraft.

Faced with such a difficult problem, Chen Xu was completely helpless. Even if he was not lying in the learning machine, he could only watch the spacecraft die little by little.

He was thinking about these things when he came to a door. The door was open, and it was obvious that Yang Jinxia had been in. He walked in directly. The house looked good, with two rooms and a living room. Although it was not as exquisite as the house he lived in, it was much better than Area C.

He searched the house, didn't see anything of value, and turned and left.

In this way, he searched room by room, and searched all the rooms on this floor, but he didn't find what he wanted.

"Chen Xu."

As he was searching in a room, he heard Yang Jinxia calling him, walked to the door, and shouted, "I'm here."

Soon, Yang Jinxia and 2003 appeared in the corridor. She opened her arms and floated over here. Chen Xu reached out and firmly grasped her arm, pulling her to stop and stabilize her body.

"You're finally here." She had a happy smile on her face.

Chen Xu smiled and said, "I'm glad you're okay."

Suddenly, Yang Jinxia's expression changed slightly, and she said worriedly, "You don't look very well, are you too tired?"

"I can hold on." Chen Xu said, "It's just right. You can help me find a tool box with the number CH001 printed on it."

Yang Jinxia shook her head and said, "No, you go and rest. 2003 and I will go find the box."

Chen Xu looked at her, sighed, and said, "We are running out of time. In seventy hours and thirty minutes, the spacecraft will hit a meteorite belt. Before that, we must rush to the spacecraft you drove over and leave here."

Yang Jinxia was slightly startled and asked softly, "Why is this happening?"

"In fact, we have already discovered the asteroid belt. According to the original plan, we used all the main guns on the spacecraft to clear a path. Now that the spacecraft is destroyed, we can only find a way to escape from here.

Chen Xu explained the current situation. "This place is more than 30 kilometers away from the main hatch, so we have to get there as soon as possible. This area was affected by the explosion, and the doors are all stuck and cannot be passed through. I want to open the passage of the transmission cabin and get there faster. I need that numbered box."

After hearing what he said, Yang Jinxia realized that time was urgent, so she stopped trying to persuade him and said, "Then let's look for him separately." She turned around, told 2003, and went out.

With the three of them working together, the search was much faster. After more than an hour, Yang Jinxia found the toolbox with CH001 printed on it.

"Look, isn't this it?" She came over to Chen Xu carrying it.

"Yes, this is it." Chen Xu opened it and saw that the tools inside were still there. He breathed a sigh of relief. On his round hood, there was a countdown, which was the time when the Dawn would collide with the meteorite belt.

He spent time looking for the toolbox and felt tremendous pressure in his heart. Not only was his own life at stake, but also Yang Jinxia's. If he failed to find the toolbox, it would be a pure waste of time and time would become even tighter.

She smiled and said, "My luck has improved since I met you."

"Let's go. I'll need your help later." Chen Xu didn't bother to be polite with her. He took her hand and floated towards the entrance of the teleportation cabin.

The entrance to the transport cabin was already locked. When it was first built, the walls were made extremely strong to withstand the impact of several hundred kilometers per hour. Therefore, it was difficult to open it with violence. Special tools were required. These were the things in the toolbox in his hand.

If you want to pry open this layer of board, you must first remove the screws. This type of screw is very special, with a smooth surface and is completely invisible. It is connected to the entire board and must be removed with a special electromagnetic wrench.

Each of them held an electromagnetic wrench, entered the model of the screw, moved close to the screw, pressed the switch to remove the screw, and heard a squeaking sound as the screw was turned.

This type of screw is widely used on spacecraft and has many different models, so it is not enough to just have tools, you need to know the model number before you can unscrew it. It is really troublesome.

Soon, a huge screw with a diameter of more than five centimeters was revealed, which was constantly rotating. As it continued to rotate, it became longer and longer. It took two full minutes for the screw to completely break away from the wall and float in the air. It was a full seventy or eighty centimeters long.

There were more than a dozen such screws on this board. It took the two of them some time to remove all the screws, disassemble the outer board, and reveal the internal structure.

Chen Xu took out a tablet-like object from the toolbox, walked in, pulled out a line from an operating table inside and connected it to the tablet. After confirming the authority, he finally opened the hatch.

The two of them, along with a robot, entered the passage of the transport cabin and floated towards the main cabin door without stopping.

When entering the hatch, Chen Xu glanced at the countdown. There were still sixty-seven hours left, which seemed plenty of time. However, it did not mean that everything would be fine as long as they got on the spacecraft.

The meteorites were flying towards this side at a very fast speed, and it would take time for the spacecraft to accelerate to a speed that could escape the meteorite belt. It was still unknown whether it could make it in time. Therefore, he did not dare to stop at all.

The passage inside the transport cabin is very large. Although there are no handrails, there are two suspended rails at the bottom that can be used for leverage.

The entire passage was connected, so there was no need to open the door, so they went much faster. In less than two hours, they shortened the distance by more than ten kilometers.

When there were sixty hours left on the countdown, they came to the nearest exit of the main hatch and spent more than half an hour using the set of tools to remove the outer panels.

After Chen Xu plugged in the tablet and passed the identity verification, he clicked the button to open the door. He heard a click, and then a "whoosh" sound came from the other side of the door. Before he could react, he was pulled and rolled towards the already open door.

"Jinxia——"

He reacted very quickly. When he was about to be swept out of the door, he suddenly pressed his waist and a steel cable popped out and buckled onto the track at the bottom. The cable instantly straightened and pulled his body, causing him to tumble around. His vision was shaking and he couldn't see the surroundings clearly. He was anxious and shouted Yang Jinxia's name loudly.

Bang.

When his back hit the edge of the exit, he grabbed the edge of the door panel with one hand and finally stabilized his body. He hurriedly turned his head, looking for Yang Jinxia.

After a while, he saw her, 2003 holding one of her hands and pressing it against the wall on the other side.

Seeing that she was not swept out, he felt relieved and asked hurriedly, "Are you okay?"

"Chen Xu, my space suit seems to be torn."

When Chen Xu heard her words, his head buzzed.
