The two lines of words that suddenly appeared in Chen Ming's mind completely stunned Chen Ming.

Was this a gift from his identity as a repairman? For example, was there some electronic implant in his brain? Or was it an ability that he had after traveling through time? Chen Ming had no way of telling, but no matter which one it was, it was possible.

It seems that I have the ability to control the spaceship with my mind.

Chen Ming found it a little hard to believe, but the place he was in and the real texture of it made it impossible for him to doubt it at all.

Since staying in this room is just waiting to die, why not go out? Find a spaceship to connect to and see if this thing in my mind can help me get out of my current predicament.

Even if it was not for the spacecraft, Chen Ming had to at least find out if there was any food in the space station.

It is always more pleasant to be bitten to death by insects while looking for food than to die of starvation.

Chen Ming put on the protective suit with some difficulty, not sure whether it could provide protection.

He returned to the gate with the gun and pressed the button.

The mechanical female voice sounded again.

"A vacuum environment has been detected. Please press the button again to confirm the opening of the buffer compartment. Please make sure that your protective clothing is fully worn."

Chen Ming listened to his heavy breathing under his protective suit and pressed the button again.

The door opened, and a compartment appeared in front of Chen Ming.

After entering the compartment, the door behind Chen Ming closed and a hissing exhaust sound rang in his ears, but the sound soon disappeared.

He must be entering a vacuum environment.

At the same time, Chen Ming suddenly noticed two lines of words on the corner of the protective suit helmet.

Residual oxygen value: 99.9%.

Remaining power value: 99.9%.

This is the oxygen that sustains human life and the electricity that maintains a stable temperature inside the protective suit.

Chen Ming roughly calculated the speed of falling and estimated that he could probably hold out for two hours.

If we can’t find the spacecraft or bring back food within two hours, the consequences will be disastrous.

Chen Ming's time is very tight.

The airtight door outside the isolation room, which had been sealed for a long time, opened.

Chen Ming did not step out rashly because of the urgency of time, but instead stuck his head out and observed carefully.

A new scene appeared before Chen Ming.

A dilapidated corridor.

The corridor was full of holes, and one could see a more complex and massive metal structure outside.

There is also a space with countless points of light flashing in the darkness.

Chen Ming stood there for a few seconds before realizing that now was not the time to look into space.

After confirming that there was no danger nearby, Chen Ming followed the space station map he found on his personal terminal and stepped onto the corridor.

He was very careful about his steps so as not to fall through any holes.

After all, there is an inexplicable gravity on this space station. Once you fall out, it is unknown whether you can get back.

Chen Ming walked in the direction written on the map, towards the office area that had been announced by the voice.

According to the instructions on the map, Chen Ming will also pass by the cafeteria and a public area for people to rest on his way to the office.

He can also find some food in the cafeteria.

If you go further, you will reach the dock of the space station. Chen Ming can go there directly and maybe find the spacecraft.

Along the way, Chen Ming forced himself not to be distracted by the deep starry sky outside and quickly passed through his residential area.

When passing by the cafeteria, Chen Ming tried to go into the kitchen to look for it.

But it was obvious that thirty years later, there was nothing left in the cafeteria.

What's worse is that there are several expressways connecting the public area next to the canteen and the mining area on the lower level, which makes it convenient for the staff on the lower level to come up quickly to eat.

As a result, Chen Ming discovered something terrible.

Some still-wriggling things, which looked like insect eggs, were attached to the disgusting growth in a corner of the public area.

Although Chen Ming already had psychological expectations for this.

These bugs can survive inside asteroids, so it's no surprise that their eggs have been preserved in the vacuum until now.

But even though he had the psychological expectation, Chen Ming still felt a little scalp-tingling when he actually saw it.

He didn't dare to stay any longer and left quickly.

Chen Ming didn't even want to go to the office and jogged all the way to the dock.

If there wasn't some kind of magnetic force pulling him on the floor beneath his feet, Chen Ming felt like he would fly out at any time.

But fortunately, Chen Ming actually saw several spaceships parked here.

Chen Ming picked a spaceship that looked the newest in appearance, walked up to it, and reached out to press it.

[Spacecraft signal detected, do you want to connect? ]

Chen Ming showed a relieved expression.

"Access."

As Chen Ming finished his words, a panel popped up in front of him.

【Spaceship Panel】

[Ship Name: Iron Ore]

[Type: Small civilian mining cargo ship]

[Fuel reserves: 19%]

[Port side weapon: 22mm machine gun (damaged)]

[Starboard weapon: 22mm machine gun (in operation)]

[Armor: Aluminum-steel composite external armor]

[Engine: Civilian escort-grade engine]

[Built-in cabins: captain's cabin, engine cabin, work cabin, planting cabin, living cabin, storage cabin]

[Important equipment: bridge control system module (in operation), stance traction module (in operation), life support system module (in operation), artificial gravity module (in operation), landing module (damaged), hyperspace channel system module (missing)]

In addition to this extremely detailed panel that introduces the spacecraft information, there is also a drop-down box that appears below the panel.

The words [Spacecraft Maintenance Guide] were clearly written on it.

With a light swipe of his finger, Chen Ming could see the repair method for the damaged parts displayed on the panel.

At the bottom of this interface, there is a button called [Repair].

Chen Ming tried to press it, but a sudden mental fatigue almost made him lose his balance.

Then a prompt appeared in front of him.

[Missing necessary materials, repair failed]

Chen Ming was stunned for a moment, as if he understood what was going on.

At the same time, Chen Ming also felt a feeling he had never experienced before.

After clicking the repair button, the spaceship in front of me was like my own body and I could control it as I pleased.

He was now on the starboard side of the spacecraft, and the 22mm machine gun on the starboard side was not damaged.

Under Chen Ming's conscious control, the machine gun began to rotate on the base of the turret and aimed at the path he came from.

Seeing that he could really control the spacecraft with his consciousness, Chen Ming couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.

An ordinary maintenance engineer could never achieve this level of ability. This should be an innate ability that he acquired after traveling through time.

Chen Ming stood beside the hatch of the spacecraft, controlled the hatch to open, and walked into the spacecraft.

The captain's cabin and the engine cabin are located at the front and back of the spacecraft respectively, and the remaining four cabins are evenly distributed between the two cabins, occupying the remaining space inside the entire spacecraft.

The place where Chen Ming went up was right at the center of the entire spacecraft.

The moment Chen Ming boarded the spaceship, as long as he wanted, he could close the hatch and start the spaceship to leave here at any time.

However, the remaining fuel amount displayed on the panel and the indication that the landing module was damaged made Chen Ming hesitate.

And food issues will also be a problem for him.

So the first thing Chen Ming did after entering the spacecraft was to go to the door of the storage cabin and open it.

There are some minerals stored here, and there is another compartment inside the storage compartment.

The words "cold storage room" were clearly written next to the compartment, making Chen Ming look forward to what was stored inside.

But when the hatch opened, what Chen Ming saw was not frozen canned food.

Instead, it was a frozen, hard insect corpse.

And an insect egg that was trembling wildly due to the stimulation of the opening of the compartment door.
