"Alright, let us revise our inforh the microphone

"We’ve released five sets of airships with each set having three to five airships The first three sets lost control when they were eight kilo two lost control at 14 kilometers With that data, we’ve constructed a si that up now?" Yao Yuan requested of the technician who stood at the control panel

The technician nodded and pushed a few buttons on the panel After that, a 3D model appeared on screen

"As you can see, the locations where the airships lost control have been h all five of the sier than the reds appeared on the si at theroup of spaceship pieces Based on further surveillance, this group of spaceship pieces consists the larger ones within the junkyard, and they still contain traces of energy The pilotless airships lose control when they are within 300 kilo for effect, Yao Yuan , "Sadly, with our current technology, we are unable to tell what exactly caused these airships to lose control We still need more data and analysis before a conclusive answer can be found Nevertheless, our next course of action is clear

"First, upgrades will have to be done on the shuttle to replace all the auto-pilot systehly likely that auto-piloted syste tampered with by the spaceship pieces, ill have to rely onto ensure overall safety Only coravitational systenal interference, the old coraded to a new version This is to ensure that constant communication is held between the shuttle and the Hope"

Yao Yuan coughed "And that concludes the results fro shows an absence of defense mechanism within the junkyard Of course, it’s still too early to let our guard down After all, the airships had barely entered the junkyard when control was lost There ht be traps further in In any case, ill find out more when the shuttle sets sail at 10 AM to for the first scouting operation was concluded The result wasn’t particularly heartening, nor was it worrying As Yao Yuan said, more would be revealed with the departure of the shuttle the day after

That night, everyone as involved was plagued by aat around 10 AM, the attendants of the first flights, Yao Yuan, Zhang Heng, and Ying stepped into the upgraded shuttle Under the Hope’s watchful eyes, they left for the spaceship junkyard

All three men wore the new aerospace combat suit prototype 1 The difference was inificantly less pressure on the wearer, hter

Since they were deprived of auto-pilot, Yao Yuan wasthe shuttle towards the junkyard With his hands on the control panel, he turned to both Zhang Heng and Ying "Repeat toreplied instantly, "My main mission is to keep er If there is one, I will inform you immediately Instead of cardinal direction, I will use clock position to relay the inforer is over or below us, I will say top or bottoreement The choice of clock position was the result of their discussion fro the cardinal directions in space, they had decided upon using clock position to make the transfer of information faster The difference of one or two seconds in space could le was also clearer using clock position direction than cardinal directions After all, the face of a clock has smaller increments than the face of a compass

In a way, the shuttle was the center of their co’s directional system was set up with the forward direction of the shuttle as 12 o’ clock For exaht, while 6 to 12 o’ clock would be on their left Vertically, everything above the shuttle would be their top and everything beneath will be known as bottom

Of course, this systeh it was more precise than cardinal direction, it was still not accurate enough However, until they were given a better co spoke next "My mission is to closely exa my poe’ve arrived at the junkyard I am to look for valuable items like weaponry, machines, and robotic parts like computer chips"

Yao Yuan nodded his approval He added, "Using both Perceptor and Seeker powers, it is my responsibility to pilot this shuttle Coet to the junkyard and back in one piece The triumvirate of superhuers in the shortest tih their respective h the communicator, "Captain, you are now 700 kilometers away from the junkyard You will reach your destination in about 1 est you slon the shuttle’s speed to prevent direct collision with stray pieces"

"Okay, slowing down 7 kilometers per second… 65 kilometers per second… 6 kilometers per second…"

With the push of a button, a liquid hydrogen and oxygen fire pulsed fro it down When they were at 50 kilometers from the junkyard, their speed was at around 300down as the shuttle inched closer to their destination

Finally, the shuttle was primed to enter the junkyard At thattheir breaths, everyone on the Hope held a collective breath They beat with one heart After all, this wasn’t a pilotless airship anymore; there was lots to lose

The shuttle was piloted by their captain and also the Hope’s only All-Rounder His passengers were no less i, one of the few Seekers

Any loss would be a huge loss!
