"Fog?" When Palamedes passed through the tactical deck of the ship and arrived outside the ship, a gray fog began to fill the surroundings.
The fog is not very thick, and the visibility is about fifty yards. But being surrounded by gray fog in this situation is still not a pleasant thing.
"Pay attention to your safety, Parami." Vivian said: "According to the information we obtained before, there may be invisible monsters lurking in the fog. I have opened the ship's protective shield. Logically speaking, the attack power of those monsters cannot penetrate it."
It’s through the shield. But I’m just afraid of what might happen.”
"I understand." At the same time as Palamedes replied, a golem two heads taller than him also rose up from below the tactical deck, following Palamedes. The golem was slightly closer to a humanoid shape and had no body parts.
There is no armed equipment, only pliers and welding guns on the two arms. It looks like an engineering golem. However, Vivian made this golem light and strong, using an ultra-light metal material.
But at the same time, the armor hardness is taken into consideration.
"Hey, this looks a bit like Little Hal." Paramedis said jokingly.
"On the contrary, the optical camouflage used for Hal is based on this prototype, so Hal looks like it." Vivian corrected, her voice came from the communicator with some noise.
.
"The communication conditions are not very good." Palamedes knocked on the communicator next to his ear and complained.
"There is a strong gravity disturbance outside. Even if you are so close to the ship, you can still feel the noise. If you are farther away, you can't even communicate." His wife replied: "So don't leave the Silver Shadow too far.
Otherwise we will not be able to contact you."
"Okay." Palamedes turned to look at the golem: "Well, little guy, let's go and repair this ship."
"The engineering golem EK-M17 has begun to carry out the protection and repair cooperation mission. Please lead the way." The golem followed Paramedes slowly.
Outside the spaceship, Paramedis could clearly hear something hitting the ship's protective cover, making a clanging sound. But because he couldn't see those small transparent things, and because he was in a hurry to repair the spacecraft's injectors,
, Palamedes didn’t care.
"Wow, it's really serious..." Paramedis walked around the back of the ship and took a look. He was not only amazed. When the ship crashed, it left a deep dent on the monster's back, which seemed to have caused a lot of damage.
Serious damage. But the monster didn't bleed at all, and it didn't care about the scar, because the Floating Hill Toad itself was a monster as huge as a mountain, so I guess this scratch wasn't even a skin wound.
On the contrary, the Silver Shadow lost two injectors near the bottom of the ship due to the crash. Naturally, all the photon reflectors on the bottom of the ship were peeled off. There was only one injector hanging alone at the stern of the ship, and it was
It tilted downwards, as if it would fall at any time. Palamedes was really worried that the injector would fall too. After all, it was such a big piece of equipment, and he alone as a Leopard Man was not strong enough to lift it.
It is difficult to reinstall or even move it.
"The injector is completely crooked? Can this thing really still spray?" Paramedis complained.
"The fuel pipe is still well connected, and the braking system is still online. It looks fine." Vivian replied: "The frame is tilted, but it doesn't matter, as long as it's not broken. Anyway, it takes about ten seconds to push after ignition."
It can be detached and detonated."
Vivian's plan was indeed to propel the jet for a period of time and then detonate it directly, using the propulsion force of the jet explosion to push the ship out, trying to "crash" out of the storm and escape.
"Sometimes I think what you do is really extreme..."
"In order to survive, it's not bad to go to extremes." Succubus disagreed.
Paramedis smiled and approached the injector. The damaged part was not as serious as it looked, but it was caused by short-circuit in various circuits, causing sparks to continue. If the damaged circuit could be replaced and repaired,
After straightening the crooked bracket, the injector can be used again...at least for ten seconds.
"I really hope Seifer is here." Palamedes leaned over to take a look and opened the circuit board hidden on the side of the injector: "I don't know anything about these things."
"Oh, you want your son to risk his life here with us?"
"It's just a metaphor." Big Cat disagreed: "Okay, what should I do next?"
"Have you opened the circuit control panel on the left side of the injector?"
"When it was opened, it was all burnt to black."
"Look to your upper right. There are six screw holes there, and two more on the lower left. Unscrew the screws and you can remove the burnt circuit board. The Golem will provide you with a replacement circuit board.
."
At this time, the golem took out a screwdriver from the tool bag on his arm. The tool bag was very small and logically could not hold such a large screwdriver. It was probably a subspace pocket inside.
"Very good." Palamedes took the screwdriver of the corresponding model from the golem, quickly unscrewed the screws, and removed the circuit board. But being clumsy, he accidentally dropped a screw, and that thing
It bounced on the ground a few times and fell somewhere on the bottom of the boat.
"Damn... I lost a screw."
"I knew this would happen. So there are spare screws at the Golem. A lot of them." Vivian said.
The golem handed over the replacement screws.
"You mean you knew I was so clumsy?" Palamedes felt that his self-esteem had been hit hard.
"No, what I meant was that I would have known that the screws might have been burned and needed to be replaced." Vivian said without emotion: "The new screws must be screwed in properly to ensure that the circuit board is installed securely. I don't want to see that
Another circuit break caused by the circuit board falling off."
"I understand." Big Cat replaced the circuit board and tightened the screws carefully.
"Then do you see the wiring ports on the upper left side? Their order is red, brown, blue, yellow, white, green. Use tweezers to pull out the wires from the circuit board, and then connect them to the top. Don't connect them wrong."
"Say it again?" Palamedes had just finished connecting the red and brown wires, and he couldn't remember the subsequent order.
"Red, brown, blue, yellow, white, green. If you still can't remember, ask me again. Take your time, don't rush."
Paramedes wiped the sweat from his forehead. This wiring was also a delicate job, because the wires were only a little thicker than the leopard hair on his body, and it was difficult to clamp them securely with tweezers, not to mention that they had to be
Connected to the corresponding wiring port. It took him about ten minutes to finish. At the same time, the crashing sound outside the spacecraft became louder and louder. It was probably because more transparent creatures were attacking the protective shield of the spacecraft.
"Can the protective shield hold up?" Palamedes asked a little worriedly.
"It's okay, the attacks of those creatures are very weak, even if they are numerous." Vivian said, "An attack of this level will not put much burden on the protective shield. Let them attack."
After all, the Silver Shadow's shields and shields are among the best in the world, and its shields are even hard enough to pass through great storms. The attack from this little monster is nothing. Unless there is something else attacking the ship.
protective cover.
"Okay." After replacing the circuit board, Palamedes breathed a sigh of relief: "Is there anything else that needs to be repaired?"
"There is a problem with the cooling system. All cooling pipes need to be replaced. Then we can repair the damaged circuit board on the other side and we can fly."
"Very good, I hope it's true——"
Before Palamedes could finish speaking, a sharp attack swiped across his neck. If he hadn't reacted quickly enough and intuitively twisted his waist to dodge in time, the blow would have scratched the main artery in his neck.
There was a big wound.
"What?!" he exclaimed.
The thing that attacked him just now detached in a big arc and flew far away. But Palamedes could see the translucent figure of the thing. It looked like some kind of bird, probably a peregrine falcon.
.
"How did it penetrate the protective shield..." the big cat complained.
"[Void]." His wife replied briefly: "Be careful of that kind of enemy."
Fortunately, there was only one Abyss Peregrine Falcon that attacked Palamedes. The number of such enemies was probably limited. The big cat put down his work and tried his best to prevent the monster's attack. He planned to defeat it first and put this annoying enemy away.
We'll have to clear out the attackers first.
"Does it always remain in the [virtual] state when it is not attacking?" Paramedis narrowed his eyes and observed the abyss peregrine falcon, "It's very troublesome to deal with."
"It would be great if you could use [Mind's Eye Technique]..." Vivian was helping to think of countermeasures: "Hold on, I'm trying to scan the monster's body data. We may be able to predict it from changes in its body temperature and other values.
The timing of its attack."
"Move quickly, I'm afraid the number of these bird enemies will increase." Palamedes urged.
If he was asked to deal with one Abyss Peregrine Falcon at the same time, he might be able to do it. If he had to deal with more than two or even three, the situation would be much more difficult. Paramedis is almost certain that those monsters invisible in the fog and
The Abyss Peregrine Falcon was released by the [Floating Hill Toad]. It should be a kind of "immune system" of that huge creature, attacking everything close to it indiscriminately. And as time goes by, the surrounding fog gradually becomes
As the fog becomes thicker, the field of vision becomes worse and there are more creatures in the fog.
It is true that the invisible creatures in the fog cannot penetrate the protective shield of the spacecraft and attack Palamedes, but the peregrine falcon that can use the [virtualization] ability can easily penetrate the shield and attack. If even the abyssal peregrine falcon
As the number of people increases, this place will become like hell.
Whoosh! The Abyss Peregrine attacked Palamedes again, but the big cat used his keen vision to clearly see the monster's coming. It didn't matter even if it could use virtualization, he still dodged the attack. Peregrine
It changed the attack trajectory and quickly pulled away before hitting the hull of the spacecraft. It seems that its virtualization cannot simply penetrate the hull of the Silver Shadow and damage the ship itself.
Paramedis took out an arm armor that can be used as a weapon. This is an arm armor modified from the [Wolf Claw] used by Bediwell and the others. Like the [Wolf Claw], it can launch the forefoot part to grab the distance.
objects, and then either grab the light and small objects in the distance, or grab the heavy objects and drag the user himself over. The [Wolf Claws] used by the Leopard Warriors have been specially modified, and the claws are reinforced with Luna Steel.
In addition, the photon blade will pop out and turn into a photon claw with a longer blade. This gauntlet is very similar to the photon claw blade used by Palamedes. Except for being slightly bulkier, the usage is exactly the same.
"Hmm... watch the move!" He spotted the moment when the Abyss Peregrine Falcon was attacking, took a step to dodge the attack, and grabbed it with his claws.
However, when the Peregrine Falcon saw that it failed to hit Palamedes, it immediately re-entered the virtual state and slipped between the photon's claws. The cunning guy. Palamedes slapped his mouth. It looked like he was going to solve it quickly.
These peregrine-shaped monsters are impossible. Unless...
