Chen Ming planned to install the [Multi-layer Buffer Armor] that he had seen when he was modifying the spacecraft armor before.

Forget about the other three: [Explosive Reactive Armor], [Armor Material Change] and [Heavy Armor].

Chen Ming currently lacks materials for explosive reactive armor.

If the armor material needs to be replaced and modified, only Baiyun steel can be used, but Baiyun steel is still useful after Chen Ming, so it is the same problem as explosive counterattack.

However, heavy armor has a huge impact on the maneuverability of the spacecraft.

Even if he had enough materials, if he really upgraded all three armors, how thick would the armor of the spacecraft be? How could he make up for the lost mobility? Therefore, the upgrade of armor must be selective.

To the extent that Chen Ming now even has to find a way to solve the problem that the bottom armor has undergone the [Heavy Armor] modification.

Fortunately, the solution was soon presented to Chen Ming.

Because when Chen Ming opened the modification panel of the bottom armor of the spacecraft, the position where the [Heavy Armor] should have been had been replaced by [Standard Armor].

Chen Ming directly chose to transform the [Standard Armor].

Afterwards, all the materials previously used to transform the [Heavy Armor] were returned to the storage compartment.

Chen Ming doesn't need to take the trouble to take off the armor himself, so the rest of the things will be much simpler.

You just need to modify the armor of the spacecraft step by step according to the techniques you have learned.

In addition to armor, Chen Ming also plans to modify the hatch of the spacecraft.

After all, the armor strength has been improved, but the strength of the gate has not been improved. It's simply a joke.

There were not many options for the hatch, so Chen Ming finally decided to use the [explosion-proof airtight door] modification.

Transforming into a double-layer protective door can greatly improve the protective capabilities of the hatch.

Since the doors have been modified, Chen Ming will naturally not miss the load-bearing points on the left and right sides of the ship.

[Turret Armor] was finally chosen by Chen Ming.

It can transform the load-bearing points and protect the load-bearing points and the weapons installed on the load-bearing points inside the armor.

Slightly sacrifice weapon turning speed in exchange for safer protection measures.

In fact, Chen Ming had already had a similar idea when the cysticercus relied on acid to fight back.

Although the bugs did not cause any damage to the spaceship, in the future other enemies with long-range attack capabilities may not be as weak as the bugs.

If Chen Ming's weapon was damaged by mistake, then at least during the time it took to repair the weapon, Chen Ming would be a lamb to be slaughtered.

And if the bearing point is destroyed, then Chen Ming really doubts whether the lost weapon can be repaired by "repair".

Therefore, when modifying the turret's armor, Chen Ming chose to use Baiyun steel as the material.

Chen Ming could still afford the materials needed to transform the turret armor.

The modification of the armor is more difficult than other previous modifications. After all, Chen Ming has to climb out of the spaceship to do it himself.

Although the spacecraft is in a stable flight phase, the high-precision sensors will not cause the spacecraft to rub against anything.

But no matter what, the work outside the spacecraft is always much more difficult than that inside the spacecraft.

If Chen Ming had modified his armor before setting off, it might not be so hard now, but it also means that the departure time may have to be delayed by several months, unless he directly relies on the panel to modify it.

But if I do this, it means that my skills will not improve at all, and there will be basically nothing to do in the next six months, and a lot of free time will be wasted.

Therefore, Chen Ming would rather choose to make modifications after the spacecraft takes off and make full use of the time.

The modification of the armor continued until the beginning of the fifth month after the departure.

The Iron Ore has undergone very obvious changes in appearance.

At the beginning, the Iron Ore was a spaceship that looked pure metallic in appearance.

But now, the entire Iron Ore has turned white.

This is because Chen Ming discovered something when he was halfway through the armor transformation.

Then Chen Ming discovered that the strength of ordinary steel materials could be greatly improved by mixing a little Baiyun steel.

At least it is definitely much stronger than the aluminum-steel composite materials of current spacecraft.

So after discovering this, Chen Ming directly tried to use [Armor Material Modification] on the front armor that had already completed the [Multi-layer Buffer Armor] modification.

The material chosen is an aluminum-steel composite material mixed with 1% Baiyun steel.

Then, including the multi-layer buffer armor modified by Chen Ming himself, all the front armor of the spacecraft was replaced with an aluminum-steel and white cloud steel composite material with very high strength.

The strength of the armor has been qualitatively improved, and the color of the armor has also changed to white.

Although it is not as good as pure Baiyun steel, modifying the spacecraft in this way is much more cost-effective than directly using Baiyun steel as the material.

It was totally worth it for Chen Ming to exchange some of the remaining Baiyun steel reserves for armor that was at least three times stronger.

After the spacecraft's armor was completely transformed.

During this period of time, Chen Ming finally found the time to carefully study all the professional books in the terminal. Since most of the books were learned from Chen Ming's memory, his efficiency in learning and mastering was very high.

Combined with the practice that takes place almost every day, Chen Ming has now completely mastered the skills that a maintenance technician should master.

It may be a little different from the repairman Chen Ming in my memory, but that’s a matter of years of experience.

As long as Chen Ming is alive, he will sooner or later surpass his past self.

And with the armor modification completed, the fifth month arrived.

The spacecraft only has about one-third of its journey left, and it will reach its destination in more than two months.

However, despite this, Chen Ming chose to start slowing down the spacecraft now. Because Chen Ming learned from the galaxy map that there was a place some distance ahead of the spacecraft.

An asteroid belt, or region, known as the "Dark Graveyard."

This is the record that Chen Ming found on the terminal, including the galaxy where Ramu is located and several other nearby galaxies.

It is said that this asteroid field was discovered before the human empire expanded here.

Because there are no stars here, all the asteroids here are shrouded in darkness.

At that time, there was a very special mineral in this asteroid belt that could emit a specific electromagnetic frequency band and interfere with the work of detection equipment.

This resulted in many explorers and pioneers failing to detect asteroids in the dark space of the universe when passing through here, resulting in accidents and shipwrecks.

When someone falls down in front, there are always some people behind who like to pick up other people's belongings.

Then they died here just like the people before them.

So the word continued to spread, and more and more people came here and died on the asteroid in the dark.

So this place has the nickname "Dark Cemetery".

But now it's different.

With the expansion of the human empire's territory, the dark cemetery has long been thoroughly developed and the special ores have long been mined.

Chen Ming can go in with confidence.

Maybe you can find some shipwrecks that were missed from past eras.

Even if not, Chen Ming can also find some asteroids containing ores to collect and replenish some of the metal materials consumed on the road.

Although there are basically no mining unions in this asteroid zone, the efficiency and benefits of mining are definitely not high.

But since it was on his way, Chen Ming didn't mind taking a look.

To relieve the boredom of the past five months when apart from work, all I could do was look at the starry sky that looked like flowing lights.
