After thinking about it, he continued to click on the starboard side weapon, which was the machine gun that was still intact.

【22mm machine gun】

[Type: Small kinetic weapon]

[Manufacturer: Sinda Rockwell Arms Company]

[Ammo Load: 231/1000]

[Effective precision killing range: 2000 meters]

[Fire rate: 240 rounds/minute]

Durability: 54%

[Available operations: Replace/Repair]

"Um?"

Chen Ming didn't expect that the actual condition of this machine gun, which looked intact, was actually not that good and also needed repair.

However, in Chen Ming's memory, machine guns of this type and caliber are often used on civilian spacecraft to prevent meteorites in space and provide the most basic resistance in combat. The overall structure is relatively simple.

As long as you have the materials, repairing it is the easiest thing.

However, this panel is different from the [Spaceship Repair Guide] panel that Chen Ming clicked on before.

In addition to [Repair], there is also an additional option of [Replace].

Chen Ming tried to click it.

A new panel popped up in front of him, but it was empty.

This may be because there are no other spare weapons on the spacecraft that can be replaced.

Chen Ming turned it off directly. It seemed that he would have to think about the [Replace] option later.

However, this panel also made Chen Ming notice a problem.

If you want to operate and understand a certain part of the spacecraft in more detail, you must open a more detailed panel.

For example, the external armor of a spacecraft.

On the [Spaceship Repair Guide] panel just now, Chen Ming could see the overall armor condition of the spacecraft, and the overall durability was around 60%.

However, when Chen Ming clicked on the column [Armor: Aluminum-steel composite external armor], he could see more detailed information about all the armor of the spacecraft.

It includes six directions: front, port, starboard, top, bottom and tail.

Chen Ming saw some problems here.

The armor on the port side of the ship has been extensively damaged, and the total durability has dropped to 24%.

The other armors also suffered damage, with the top and bottom armor suffering the least loss, both around 80%.

The spacecraft as a whole may seem fine, but in reality somewhere may be in danger.

So Chen Ming had better look carefully at all parts of the spacecraft panel.

If possible, Chen Ming could also go out and take a look himself wearing protective clothing to prevent any damage from being repaired.

Now that the panel has been opened, Chen Ming also plans to try out this repair function as a pre-experimental step to repair the landing module later.

Previously, Chen Ming wanted to repair the entire spacecraft at one time, but there was a problem of insufficient materials.

However, there should still be materials to repair a machine gun alone.

Chen Ming remembered that he had seen some materials when he entered the storage cabin to look for food.

And their existence happens to be shown on the [Repair] panel.

It can be used just right here.

Chen Ming got up and entered the storage compartment, and suddenly remembered that there were insect eggs and insect corpses in the cold storage room next to it.

However, Chen Ming is not in a hurry to deal with them for the time being.

Because sometimes, they may become Chen Ming's last choice.

Inside the storage compartment, Chen Ming once again saw some ore that was stored here, which was the harvest of the crew thirty years ago.

Chen Ming clicked on the panel of the completely damaged machine gun.

【22mm machine gun】

[Type: Small kinetic weapon]

[Manufacturer: Sinda Rockwell Arms Company]

[Ammo load: 1/1000]

[Effective killing range: 2000 meters]

Durability: 7%

[Available operations: Replace/Repair]

It can be seen that its durability is only a pitiful 7%, and there is only one round of spare ammunition left in the magazine.

Chen Ming didn't think much about it and directly clicked the [Repair] button on the panel.

The new page that pops up shows the various materials needed for repairs, and these are enough.

Chen Ming clicked the confirmation button again.

Then, his brain suddenly seemed to be drained, and a feeling of fatigue instantly surged into his mind.

At the same time, the materials needed for maintenance on the shelf in front of him melted like liquid and flowed out of the spacecraft along the spacecraft's power system.

Through the camera outside the spacecraft, Chen Ming could see that the damaged 22mm caliber machine gun seemed to be absorbing liquid metal, and its damaged appearance was gradually restored to its original state.

The durability on the panel was restored to 100%, and the repair button disappeared.

Although Chen Ming was in poor condition due to using this repair ability, he was still very satisfied with the effect and was preparing to cut off the camera's field of view.

But at this moment, Chen Ming suddenly noticed that the number of ammunition in the machine gun he had just repaired had returned to 1000/1000.

Chen Ming thought about it and tried to fire in the direction where there was no one. As a result, more than ten bullets were really fired under Chen Ming's control.

But Chen Ming remembered very clearly that there was only one bullet in the chamber of this machine gun before it was repaired.

In order to confirm that he was not seeing things, Chen Ming clicked on the panel of another relatively good machine gun.

Its durability is 54%, and there are 231 rounds left in reserve.

Chen Ming pressed the [Repair] button again.

Repairing this machine gun requires some of the same materials, but the quantity is much less than the previous one that was completely destroyed.

Chen Ming chose to confirm.

Then my brain felt tired again, and my spirit was being exhausted.

However, compared with the previous consumption, it is much less, so Chen Ming can still hold on.

This time, Chen Ming did not focus all his attention on the liquid metal flowing outside the spacecraft, but was also paying attention to the changes on the panel.

Just like what happened just now, all the bullets that Chen Ming had consumed in shooting the bugs that were chasing him were replenished, and the ammunition reserve returned to 1000/1000. [Repair] can even repair all the lost bullets, which is a bit exaggerated.

Seeing this scene, Chen Ming felt more and more that his own abilities were too magical.

Since the effect is so outstanding, Chen Ming doesn't need to worry about maintaining the landing system later.

Even if he is only a half-baked repairman with only the memory of a maintenance technician, as long as he has the materials, he can repair the spacecraft with just the panel.

But Chen Ming doesn't want to rely solely on this panel. Sometimes he still wants to do things within his ability.

It's never a bad idea to learn a skill, or to review and master a skill.

Feeling a little tired, Chen Ming temporarily postponed the repair of the external armor. If he continued to repair it, he would probably faint.

After taking a short rest and relieving some mental fatigue.

Chen Ming plans to do something else next.

For example, consider how you might utilize grow pods.
